The two men had won the verbal battle and were feeling proud of themselves, not noticing that green vines had wrapped around their legs.
The vines gradually tightened, pulling on their ankles and making them unable to move. Only then did the two of them start to panic.
They both exclaimed at the same time:
"What's going on! I can't move!"
"My legs seem to be entangled with something!"
People around were rushing towards their own homes, and no one would notice the abnormality of a few individuals.
Even those who couldn't stand it anymore and told them to run away and stop talking had already run away.
The crowds rushed back and forth, and soon only a few people remained in the open space that had just been packed. These were people who had run home from further away and had not yet reached home.
Among the other people who were still standing there, the only ones who were still standing there were Xie Purou and the two men with the bad mouth.
The two men didn't know who they had offended, so they squatted down and tried to pull the vines on their feet with their hands, but they couldn't untie them.
They didn't even dare to struggle hard, because they found that the more they struggled, the tighter the vines became, and the more the barbs on the vines dug into their flesh.
Unable to break free, the two could only cry bitterly on the spot until everyone on the ground had dispersed. With only three people present, they had no other options and naturally turned to Xie Purou for help.
“Help…Help!”
"Save us! I can give you the crystal core!"
Xie Pu Rou stood there and looked at them indifferently, without offering a helping hand. She even took a step back to show that she was drawing a clear line between herself and them.
The two thought that they had not given their interests clearly, so they shouted out their bids.
"I'll give you fifty first-level crystal cores! Come and save me." The tone of alms seemed to indicate that she was determined to blackmail him.
"I'll give you a hundred first-level crystal cores! Save me!"
"I'll give you fifteen level 2 crystal cores, save me!"
"I'll give..."
Xie Purou shook her head and looked at them calmly: "Guess who is preventing you from moving when there is no one else around?"
"Is it you?"
The two men looked up at her, their faces flushed with anger and fear. They pointed at her and demanded, "We have no grudges against each other. Fighting is forbidden in this base. If you don't let us go back, you're trying to kill us!"
Xie Pu Rou had a lot of time on her hands. Everyone in the base had run away, and she was bored. She snapped her fingers but didn't move: "I just want you to die, so what?"
The two were speechless. They had never seen anyone who could harm someone so confidently.
Twisting the vines that were still tightly binding her feet, the man standing on her left asked through gritted teeth, "Do we have a grudge?"
Xie Purou replied: "No."
"Then why did you want to harm us? Private fighting is not allowed in the base. If you are angry, just let it out. If you let us go now, we will pretend nothing happened and won't report it to the base."
The man on the left said this, while the man on the right remained silent. Xie Pu Rou could see clearly that the man's eyes were full of calculation.
But it’s none of her business, she is very brave now.
Thinking about the time when she gave Zhou Ke the thing that could cure the zombie poison, Zhou Ke cried and said that no one had ever taken their soldiers' lives seriously. When she saw the two people in front of her slandering the soldiers, her only thought was that she could not let them go easily.
Before she could say anything, the cell phone in her waist rang.
She found it troublesome and felt that there was no one else at the scene, so she turned off the temperature sensor and allowed the protective cover to block out the rain.
The whole person seemed to be wrapped in a thin layer of bubbles. Not only did the rain from the sky surround her, but even the water under her feet avoided her, leaving an area for her.
There was no point in keeping the umbrella, so he put it away.
When they saw Yu Shui, they would walk around her. Knowing her eccentricity, they trembled all over when she took out her cell phone.
In this context, people who have mobile phones are either rich or noble, and if they don’t have status, they have connections. No matter which one, they can’t afford to offend.
It was Yue Xiwen calling. As soon as she answered, she said bluntly, "Jiang Zhuo said you were out on the yacht?"
Xie Purou: “Yeah.”
Yue Xiwen simply explained the situation to her: "Did you hear the broadcast just now? It's leeches! I don't know where they came from, but they're mutated leeches! They sneaked into the base in the water, and we can't defend ourselves against them at all."
"You must be careful! The base is already full of leeches, and they're still draining. It's useless to mix insecticide into the water..."
She couldn't think of any way to deal with the leeches, so she just responded a few times and hung up.
After hanging up the phone, she lowered her head and thought. Seeing that she didn't say anything, the two men immediately kowtowed and knelt down in front of her, begging her to forgive their mistakes.
"How have we offended you? We must change our profession!"
"As long as you are willing to let us go, we will give you as many crystal cores as you want!"
Xie Pu Rou was already feeling upset and no longer had a good temper towards them.
"I'm really annoyed by your ungrateful behavior of speaking ill of the soldiers behind their backs. The people in the base are risking their lives to protect the people, and you actually say this behind their backs about the people who risked their lives to protect you?"
The two of them knelt and begged, and since she took out her phone, she admitted her mistake with a positive attitude: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to say anything nonsense again, just treat me as a piece of shit and let us go."
Xie Purou casually threw a stone. It landed in the water between them and exploded, splashing water everywhere. The two of them were so frightened that they thought she was going to use her supernatural powers on them and almost wet their pants.
"I don't fart casually." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
As for these two people? Their crimes aren't punishable by death, but we won't let them go either. Just kneel here and wait for the leech to come and receive the punishment.
The kneeling man on her right saw that she was really about to leave and shouted anxiously: "The base wants us to return to the safe zone. You are violating the base's orders by doing this!"
She turned around and looked at them, sneered: "Then call the police." Then she left in tears.
It's really funny. They want to slander the people who protect them, and at the same time they want to use the people they look down upon and slander to suppress her.
"Tongzi, put them both off the graylist."
[Graylist: Unlike the blacklist, you cannot enter the area operated by the system. You can still purchase food operated by the system, but the price of everything you consume will be increased tenfold.]
Even if friends and relatives bought the supplies she sold and voluntarily gave them to them, they still had to pay the difference in price before they could touch them.
The most common meal costs 20 points, and ten times that is 200 points for two first-level crystal cores.
Rather than letting them die directly, living in this world without having a single meal is the real hell on earth.
And she had experience in lighting up other bases, so she was determined to light up the first base.
As long as the base is lit up, those who are put on the gray list will have to live a hundred times harder than others if they want to survive.
