Jiang Mianmian smiled awkwardly, but deep down she didn't believe it at all. Anyone who believed such a boring lie would be a fool.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of her, Jiang Mianmian didn't continue the topic and inadvertently changed the subject to another one!
"I remember you had a jade bracelet before, but I don't see you wearing it anymore. Did you lose it?"
Su Leyan raised her eyebrows. She could feel Jiang Mianmian's nervousness and subconsciously put on the jade bracelet on her wrist.
In fact, it was not an expensive bracelet. If she remembered correctly, she bought it in an antique shop on her fifteenth birthday. At that time, she just thought it suited her taste and it was her birthday, so she couldn't help but be extravagant. She didn't expect Jiang Mianmian to be so obsessed with this jade bracelet.
"Isn't that your fifteenth birthday present? I thought it was so beautiful at the time. It would be a shame if it was lost!"
“It’s not lost!”
Su Leyan rolled up her wrist, revealing the emerald green bracelet. The sunlight shone through the jungle onto the bracelet, as if it were covered with a mysterious veil.
Jiang Mianmian's eyes flashed with excitement. It was this bracelet, it was it. She suppressed her desire to snatch it and smiled, "Can I see it?"
"sure!"
Su Leyan stretched out his hand. Jiang Mianmian hid the greed in her eyes, smiled broadly, and said enviously, "I really like your jade bracelet. It's so beautiful!"
Su Leyan was indifferent to Jiang Mianmian's words and seemed to have no idea what Jiang Mianmian was thinking. Instead, Zhang Chuheng next to him spoke.
"Mianmian, if you like jade bracelets, I'll find some jewelry for you next time we collect supplies!"
The most precious things nowadays are materials, while jewelry is not valuable. Therefore, most of the jewelry in shopping malls are not visited by anyone. However, it is not that no one collects them, but they are not as valuable as other materials.
"No need. There can't be two identical bracelets in the world. In this apocalyptic world, supplies are the most important thing. Jewelry is just for decoration. Besides, I just like Le Yan's bracelet. There's no other meaning to it!"
If 666 hadn't upgraded, he would definitely have said something tea-talking!
"If you really like..."
Jiang Mianmian's face lit up with joy, and she was about to say something, but when she heard the second half of Su Leyan's sentence, she was so angry that she didn't show it. In her heart, her hatred for Su Leyan became even stronger!
Because Su Leyan went on to say, if you really like it, there’s nothing I can do. This bracelet means a lot to me. After all, it’s a gift I bought for myself on my fifteenth birthday and I can’t give it to anyone else.
"Le Yan, don't think too much. I really don't mean to want anything. It's just that it's rare for me to like something. It's okay!"
Zhang Chuheng took Jiang Mianmian's words to heart, and looked at Su Leyan with a bad expression. It was just a bracelet, but this woman was reluctant to give it up. If it weren't for Mianmian's kindness, this woman might not even be able to enter Guangyun Mountain and would be eaten alive by those strange plants. She really didn't know how to be grateful at all!
"Mianmian, don't be sad, I will help you find a way!"
Jiang Mianmian was startled and whispered, "I really don't like it that much. Don't take the risk!"
"Don't worry, I won't take any risks while I still need her!"
Jiang Mianmian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was thinking in her heart how to kill Su Leyan in Guangyun Mountain. No matter whether Su Leyan was a space ability user or not, she couldn't let her live if she wanted to snatch her bracelet. Only when she died could she feel at ease!
Unlike their cautious vigilance, Su Leyan really seemed to be in Guangyun Mountain for sightseeing. Even though they were unhappy, they did not show it on their faces. Just like Zhang Chuheng said, if they really found the Military Research Institute, they would still need Su Leyan, a space ability user, to collect weapons. There was no way they could move them all away by themselves!
"Be careful and alert!"
"There seems to be some sound coming from over there!"
"ah!"
A man's feet were trapped by vines, and he was hanging upside down in the air in an instant. The surrounding vines seemed to have received some orders and attacked them one after another. The vines were covered with sharp barbed thorns, which were particularly terrifying under the sunlight!
"Everyone, don't panic. This is a mutant black-eyed flower. The vines are tough. Don't struggle. The more you struggle, the tighter it will bind you!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped struggling and drew out the daggers in their hands and slashed at the vines. In short, as long as it was not a tricky mutant plant, they could handle it.
With Xiang Heng's reminder, these mutated vines could be dealt with without any effort, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's getting dark. Should we find a place to sit down and rest for the night before continuing on our way?"
In the deep mountains and forests, darkness means crisis. They have to find a safe place to camp before it gets completely dark, otherwise it will be too late and very dangerous!
"Can!"
Xiang Heng also agreed to find a safe place to rest for a night. They encountered many attacks from alien plants along the way. Although there were no casualties, they had put in a lot of effort and consumed a lot of their energy. It would be better to rest for a night first!
"Everyone, look carefully to see if there's a place to rest. A cave would be even better!"
"yes!"
Su Leyan didn't care about it. No matter where he rested, he didn't have to worry about safety issues. However, it would be great to have a more comfortable place to rest!
"Boss, I found it. I found a cave here!"
When Xiang Heng heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. Although he didn't have high expectations, he was still very happy to have found the cave. After all, compared to the outside, it must be safer inside the cave.
"Let's go and take a look!"
"Um!"
Jiang Mianmian followed closely behind, and the others also caught up. Only Su Leyan walked at the end, neither hurried nor slow.
"Boss, this is it. Judging from the entrance, this cave should be quite big!"
The entrance to the cave is about five or six meters high, and it looks really scary!
Xiang Heng paused for a moment before saying, "I'll go in and take a look first. You guys wait outside!"
"I'll go with you!" Jiang Mianmian followed without thinking.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Chuheng's eyes. Mianmian really loved Xiang Heng the most. Didn't she know it a long time ago? Why was she still so sad?
"Let me go. I have fire abilities. The cave is pitch black, and you won't be able to see anything if you go in. I'm the best person to go in!"
"You stay outside. Lao Zhang and I will go in and take a look. Don't worry, everything will be fine!"
"Um!"
Seeing this, Jiang Mianmian didn't say anything, but just reminded them to be careful.
Zhang Chuheng waved his right hand, and a cluster of bright flames appeared in the palm of his hand. Xianghen followed behind and soon disappeared at the entrance of the cave!
