Chapter 805 Suffocating Despair
When Captain Nie and the others saw Ye Wanxi speaking so politely to the clownfish, their expressions were somewhat complicated, but they didn't stop her. However, they were somewhat disapproving of her.
However, what happened next was completely unexpected.
After listening to Ye Wanxi's words, the little smelt looked up at her for a while, and a tear rolled out of its round, bulging fish eyes.
"It's crying...crying? Is it crying?" The young man standing next to Captain Nie couldn't help but exclaim, but was quickly covered up by another young man next to him.
This single tear acted as a switch, causing the little snipe to completely abandon its reserve. It fluttered its tiny wings and flew to Ye Wanxi, sobbing softly as it grabbed Ye Wanxi's arm with its wings, trying to pull her away.
As a strange creature that lives in the water year-round, the little snail is very sensitive to human kindness and malice.
It had long known that although these people were eager to capture it, they actually meant it no harm.
Especially Ye Wanxi, whose golden light, formed from countless merits, was like a warm little sun to the beasts. Even though they knew that getting too close might burn them, they still couldn't help but want to throw themselves into the fire like moths to a flame.
This is also the main reason why countless small animals rush to her to act cute and even try to be adopted whenever Ye Wanxi stands there.
As soon as the little snail cried, the little black dog started barking too, opened its mouth and bit Ye Wanxi's trouser leg, pulling Ye Wanxi forward along with the little snail.
Ye Wanxi turned and exchanged a glance with Feng Tianyu, then nodded and said, "Let's go."
The two left without warning, leaving Captain Nie and his team completely bewildered.
"Boss, they're gone, what do we do now?"
Captain Nie's lips twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to slap the back of his head: "What do we do? Chase after him!"
"Oh, oh." The young man, who had been inexplicably hit, rubbed his head and ran off in a daze.
Seeing this, the others also ran after him. Captain Nie wanted to chase after them, but he was still worried about Grandpa Lü.
Seeing that the old man also wanted to run with the crowd, he quickly pulled him back: "Grandpa Lü, what are you trying to do?"
"What else can they do? They are such talented individuals, blessed by God. Instead of doing something productive, they are wasting their potential. They run around all day and I don't know what they are doing. If God knew they were squandering their talents like this, he would be furious."
Captain Nie: "..." There's no need for that. What you call being idle and not doing your proper job might actually save the lives of everyone in our town, including you, old man, in a critical moment!
After venting his anger, Old Master Lü still wasn't satisfied and rolled up his sleeves, saying, "I have to see what these two are up to today. Come on, don't stop me, take me there quickly."
Captain Nie's eyelids twitched, and he said with a wry smile, "Old man, please don't make things worse, okay? We're doing serious business here!"
Grandpa Lü was displeased upon hearing this: "How have I caused trouble? Don't talk nonsense. If you don't want me to go, then tell me what you're trying to do first. And what exactly was that winged fathead fish? And that dog..."
Luckily, Little Winfish is no longer here, otherwise, upon hearing him call himself Fathead Fish, he wouldn't care about respecting the elderly and would definitely give the old man a slap on the tail.
Captain Nie was getting a headache from all the questions Grandpa Lü was asking him, so he could only say gently, "I'll have someone take you home first, and I'll explain to you another day."
"No way, do you think I'm too old to be easily fooled? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll see who can force me back."
Captain Nie: "..." Oh dear, my temper is raging!
While Captain Nie was being held up by the old man for a short while, Ye Wanxi and her companion had already run a considerable distance with the little black dog and the little yu.
At first, Ye Wanxi and her companion were worried that if Yingyu flew around so openly outside and was seen by someone, it would definitely become a trending topic again, and might even cause panic.
But they soon realized they were worrying unnecessarily. There were few travelers in the residential area to begin with, and it was late at night, so the streets were pitch black and there were hardly any people to be seen.
Moreover, the further they went, the more remote the road became. Towards the end, they couldn't see any living creatures, let alone people.
"Where is this place?" Feng Tianyu narrowed his eyes and turned to ask the people following behind them.
The young men, all locals, paused for a moment before truthfully explaining, "This area is undeveloped. It was originally intended to be a factory, but when the authorities came to survey it, they found that the geology here was unsuitable for building a large factory, so it was left unused."
"Yes, yes, this area is mostly undeveloped or abandoned areas that are only half-developed. People rarely come here. Oh, by the way, the water plant is just a little further ahead."
Knowing that Ye Wanxi and her companion were heading to the water plant, the group immediately recognized the location of their position and thought of the nearby water plant.
"Water plant?" Ye Wanxi's eyes narrowed slightly, surprised that after going around in circles, she had still ended up in this place.
"You want to take us to the water plant?" Ye Wanxi looked at the little snail that was thrashing anxiously because she had stopped, and a thought suddenly struck her. "There's something inside the water plant, right?"
The little snail quickly swayed up and down a couple of times to confirm Ye Wanxi's guess.
Seeing its actions, Ye Wanxi understood what was going on. She and Feng Tianyu each picked up a small creature and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
The people who were left behind were stunned for a few seconds before they reacted. They all reached up and rubbed their eyes, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"No...that's it?"
Where did they go? Did you see which way they went?
"No, they disappeared in the blink of an eye. Is this the legendary teleportation? My god, I've never seen anything like this before! Is fantasy novels actually true?"
"What do we do now? We've lost them. If we go back, the boss will definitely beat us up."
"Are you stupid! Didn't you hear them say they were going to the water plant? They must be there by now. Come on, let's go too."
While the group was discussing this, Ye Wanxi and her companion had indeed arrived at the water plant.
As soon as Ye Wanxi arrived at the entrance of the water plant, she sensed a very uncomfortable atmosphere.
"What's wrong?"
"I suddenly felt a little breathless."
Feng Tianyu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately grasped Ye Wanxi's hand: "Why can't you breathe? I'll take you back first."
Ye Wanxi paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head and said, "I'm fine. It's just that I suddenly felt like I was affected by something, it only lasted for a moment, and I'm much better now."
Despite saying that, Ye Wanxi's expression was quite serious; she had indeed only felt uncomfortable for a moment.
But in that instant, she felt a suffocating despair.
