Qiao He glanced at the elite man, and it was clear that his eyes seemed to say, "If you don't tell me everything, you won't get a single bite of instant noodles."
The elite man understood Qiao He's meaning and chuckled awkwardly, "Okay, okay, I got it. I'll tell you, alright?"
So the elite man thought for a moment before continuing, "Besides this, I also heard that Lin Xun threatened to kill the owner of the cat next to him."
Upon hearing this, Qiao He's expression changed slightly: "What did you say? This is true?"
The elite man said sincerely, "Of course it's true! I'm telling the truth, not a single lie. Don't you have mind-reading abilities over there? I really didn't lie!"
Qiao He frowned slightly; she knew that what this elite man said was true.
It seems that Lin Xun...
It really is Lin Xun, the Lin Xun they're looking for!
Qiao He took a deep breath. She hadn't expected Lin Xun to be so arrogant, even saying he wanted to kill her.
That's ridiculous.
Qiao He asked the elite man, "Is there any other information?"
"It's gone, it's really gone this time..." The elite man was very disappointed. If he had known more information, he could have obtained more supplies.
Unfortunately, he only had this much in his stomach.
Qiao He tossed some instant noodles to the elite man, then said to Bo Shiwu and Lin Qiao, "Let's go."
They couldn't stay here any longer; they had to find Lin Xun in the direction the elite man had indicated!
This man is too arrogant. He openly brought her kitten and made such harsh remarks. Isn't he just waiting for Qiao He to come looking for him?
After Qiao He and the others left, the elite man hugged the instant noodles and was as happy as a fool. He laughed and said, "We have food! We have food!"
"Delicious! This is good stuff!" The elite man's face was full of greed.
The man with the nose ring chuckled and leaned closer, "Big brother, could you share some with me? I may not have done anything special, but I've certainly put in the effort, right?"
The elite man's expression changed slightly, then he smiled and said, "Of course, everyone here gets a share. However..."
He then changed the subject: "Right now, when food is scarce, let's treat these instant noodles as our last resort."
"Let's not eat now. To prevent anyone from betraying us, I'll keep these instant noodles safe," the elite man said calmly, with a serious and responsible expression.
The man with the nose ring thought to himself: Anyway, I have some food myself, so I'll let him have it first.
What the man with the nose ring didn't expect was that the elite man ran away with all the supplies that very night!
Even if they regretted it, it was too late, because the world was simply too vast, and they couldn't find where the elite man had gone...
For Qiao He, finding Lin Xun was also a very difficult task.
Because they only knew the general direction Lin Xun went, but they didn't know exactly where he went.
So they could only keep walking forward and asking around.
This trip lasted for half a month.
In the past two weeks, Bo Shiwu's injuries had long since healed. Qiao He was still traumatized by what happened on the plane, so she didn't want everyone to take the plane unless absolutely necessary.
They mainly travel by off-road vehicle and RV now, so the situation is not too bad, since some situations are still controllable on land.
Along the way, they encountered some survivors who tried to rob them of their supplies, but most of them were just small fry. Some strong men even tried to rob Qiao He, but Bo Shiwu used his superpowers to beat them until they screamed for their mothers.
The arrival of natural disasters and apocalypses eliminated many people. After being baptized by the previous natural disasters, those who are still alive now are basically quite capable.
However, Qiao He didn't care about the ordinary people and superhumans she encountered on the road. All she wanted to do now was catch up with Lin Xun as soon as possible and then snatch Qiao Si back!
Qiao Si doesn't know what Lin Xun will do to him yet, so Qiao He is worried about him every day.
They received almost no news of Lin Xun along the way. Qiao He had the portrait drawn by the elite man, but few people had seen it. The only person who said he had seen it led them to the wrong person.
Although he bears some resemblance to Lin Xun, the man who was starving to death could not possibly be Lin Xun.
Joss wasn't with the man either.
The turning point came when they arrived in Z City. It must be said that Z City truly lived up to its reputation as a big city; they were stopped by patrol officers as soon as they reached the city's outskirts.
The patrol team's attire was strange; they wore uniforms, but they looked like characters from an animated film, giving off a sense of incongruity.
The patrol captain stared at Qiao He and Bo Shiwu expressionlessly, then chose to question Bo Shiwu, because he believed that Bo Shiwu was the central figure in the team.
"Who are you? If you want to enter Z City, you have to pay a toll!" the patrol captain said coldly, his tone devoid of emotion, truly like a robot.
Qiao He was stunned when she saw this man. Was this... really a human?
It has already transcended the realm of humanity...
“We’re looking for someone. Have you seen this man around here?” Qiao He showed the patrol team leader a modified portrait.
The captain glanced at it and said, "Hand over the toll."
Qiao He remained silent: "So, do you have it here or not?"
"I said, hand over the toll!" The patrol captain's voice rose two octaves, sounding a bit angry.
Qiao He: "..." Fine.
"What kind of toll? How much?" Qiao He had already made preparations. Since she was going to Z City anyway, she figured the situation in Z City must be very orderly, given how well-organized the patrol team was.
I estimate we can find some people, and maybe Lin Xun is among them.
“One piece of candy per person, and they can go in,” the patrol captain said expressionlessly.
Qiao He was stunned: "Huh?"
Just sugar?!
But then again, sugar is a good thing in the apocalypse...
Just as Qiao He was about to take the candy out of the Blood Jade Space, she heard the captain say again, "It's okay if you don't have the candy."
"You must hand over your cutest doll or plush toy!"
Qiao He: "???!" What?! She couldn't have heard wrong, could she?!
