The Beloved Heiress's Dark Side (4)
Jian Tanxi asked, "Should we carry him on our backs, or find a secluded place to hide him? He's an adult after all, and it would be tiring for us to carry him. But if we don't take him with us, we're afraid something might happen."
After all, while sleeping pills can make people fall asleep, there are also wake-up pills that can make people instantly awake, something they have seen before.
If the young master were found by other bad guys, given a sobering pill, and continued to harm people, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Meng Yuening said, "I don't think it's appropriate to carry him now. We still need to find other zombies later, and it will be inconvenient to move around with him... But how can we find a secluded place to hide him?"
Jian Tanxi and Meng Yuening looked around but couldn't find any good places for Tibetans.
If we dig a hole and temporarily bury him, on the one hand, it will leave a trace, and on the other hand, we are afraid that he will suffocate.
At this moment, Jian Tanxi asked, "Where is Xiaochen?"
Meng Yuening didn't see Qu Chen either, so she said, "Let's look for Xiao Chen first. This zombie won't wake up for the time being..."
A short while later, they saw Qu Chen running around excitedly near a large tree in the distance.
Jian Tanxi and Meng Yuening walked over and discovered that the tree trunk was hollow. Qu Chen ran into the trunk to play and then ran out, having a great time.
Meng Yuening suddenly had a brilliant idea: "I think this place can hide someone. Why don't we put the eldest young master of the Ou family inside? Then we can peel some bark off the outside to cover it up, and that will hide him well."
Jian Tanxi nodded: "That's a good idea."
The two of them worked together to lift the young master over and stuff him into the hollow tree trunk.
Qu Chen suddenly poked the young master with John's sword. The young master's skin was immediately burned by the stab, just like Ou Bao'er's.
Fortunately, the young master took a sleeping pill and will not wake up for the time being.
Qu Chen found it amusing and wanted to keep poking him.
Jian Tanxi quickly stopped him, saying, "Xiao Chen, this little sword of yours can hurt others; you can't just stab people like that."
Although the zombies from the Ou family are the ones the players have to deal with, Jian Tanxi feels that it is also important to teach Qu Chen not to abuse others.
Qu Chen was unaware that his actions were cruel. In his mind, others couldn't feel pain (although the young master himself couldn't feel pain), and he was willing to do anything for fun.
He wasn't cruel by nature, but rather his cognitive abilities were underdeveloped, and he didn't realize that his behavior was inappropriate.
Stopped by Jian Tanxi, Qu Chen stopped stabbing the young master with the sword and ran away to pick leaves and play with them.
Then, Jian Tanxi used the interstellar triangular pyramid to peel off the bark of other large trees and attached it to this hollow tree. From a distance, it was impossible to tell that the tree was hollow, nor that anyone was hiding inside.
Meng Yuening took out her binding vines, as she needed them to entangle the other zombies. Since the young master was well hidden and had taken a sleeping pill, there was no need to bind him, and it wasn't a big problem.
There's still some time left, so it's best to find the other zombies and subdue them.
There are nine zombies in total. Players are divided into three teams, and each team should try to capture three zombies.
Just then, Jian Tanxi heard the sparrows in the tree talking: "That person in the tree trunk is terrifying. I've seen similar people elsewhere. Are they human or demons...?"
Jian Tanxi gained the ability to communicate with animals, so she can hear them talking.
She looked up and asked Sparrow, "Miss Sparrow, where have you seen someone like this before?"
The sparrow was startled and chirped incessantly. To Jian Tanxi, it sounded like, "Good heavens, how can this human girl communicate with me? Could it be an illusion?"
Jian Tanxi laughed and said, "It's not a hallucination; I can indeed communicate with animals. The people inside the tree trunk are zombies, and they will harm ordinary people. Since you've seen similar people, could you take me there?"
The sparrow said, "Sure, but it's a bit far, I can't fly that far."
“That’s easy. My companion has a backpack; you can stay inside it.”
"A backpack? No, no, that's not breathable."
"No, it's a special backpack. Small animals won't feel stuffy, tired, or hungry inside. Give it a try."
After considering it for a while, Sparrow probably felt that Jian Tanxi was trustworthy, so she agreed.
Meng Yuening took out her bio-backpack, enlarged it, and carried it on her shoulder before letting the sparrows crawl inside.
For players like her who don't have personal storage space, if the items they acquire are too large, they can shrink them according to their own wishes. After shrinking, they can put them into their bag.
When you need to use it, you can take it out and enlarge it to its original size.
After the sparrow went inside, it exclaimed happily, "Great! This place is wonderful! I was a little tired and was resting in the tree. But as soon as I came in, I felt full of energy!"
Meng Yuening laughed and asked, "What's that sparrow chirping about?"
Jian Tanxi said, "It really likes your backpack."
Next, Jian Tanxi asked the sparrow to point the way to the next zombie.
She wanted to ride the magic carpet to get there faster, but found that the magic carpet wasn't working, and she didn't know why.
So, she and Meng Yuening had no choice but to walk. They walked very fast because time was running out.
However, Qu Chen refused to accept it.
He was tired from walking, so he lay down to rest.
Having no other choice, Jian Tanxi laughed and said, "How about I carry Xiao Chen on my back?"
Meng Yuening suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Why don't we let him try going into the bio-backpack too?"
"Oh, this works too?"
"He's a living being too, so it should be okay, right?"
Meng Yuening opened the bio-backpack and put Qu Chen inside. Qu Chen was very excited inside and started playing with the sparrows.
For Meng Yuening, whose body has been enhanced, carrying a child on her back is no problem.
So they continued on their way.
About half an hour later, they encountered another zombie outside a cave—the third young master of the Ou family.
The third young master, his face contorted with rage, tried to enter the cave to capture the man.
However, two middle-aged men stood at the cave entrance, holding torches and guarding the cave, using the torches to drive away the third young master.
The third young master seemed to be afraid of fire, so he dared not go forward and let out a roar.
The two men kept their eyes fixed on the ground, avoiding eye contact with the young master. They seemed to know that making eye contact with a zombie would result in being controlled.
The third young master threw poison powder at the two men, but the two men were prepared and covered it with a blue oilcloth.
However, the two of them were also a bit exhausted and probably couldn't hold on for much longer.
At this moment, Meng Yuening unleashed her binding vines, attempting to tie up the Third Young Master.
But the sound of the vines tearing through the air was too loud, so the third young master turned around and grabbed the vines.
Meng Yuening simply pulled the Third Young Master toward her so that the people in the cave could rest for a while.
The third young master was unwilling to let go of the vines, so he was pulled a distance away. He has lost his mind now and doesn't actually know what the vines are for, but once he grabs something, he's unwilling to let go easily—it's instinct.
However, he felt that he didn't like being pulled over, so he also tried to pull Meng Yuening over to his side.
Meng Yuening gradually started to struggle, and the veins on her forehead were bulging.
While Meng Yuening and the Third Young Master were locked in a tug-of-war, Jian Tanxi opened her biological backpack, released the sparrow, and then carried Qu Chen out.
She said to Qu Chen, "Xiao Chen, look at me."
She picked up a few stones and kept throwing them at the third young master. Her aim was poor, and the distance was far, so only about two or three stones hit him.
The third young master roared, but he couldn't care less about Jian Tanxi.
Qu Chen, who was watching Jian Tanxi throw things, found it amusing and imitated her, throwing his small sword at the Third Young Master.
Jian Tanxi smiled, because this was exactly what she wanted to achieve.
Children like to imitate, and Qu Chen always held onto that little sword. If he were to throw something, he would definitely throw that little sword first.
Although he was young and weak, perhaps because the little sword recognized its master, Qu Chen was thinking of throwing the Third Young Master, and the little sword flew straight towards the Third Young Master and pierced his body.
Although the blade of the small sword is gone, it is still in the shape of a sword, and with the added speed, it shouldn't be a big problem to pierce a human body.
The spot where the third young master was stabbed immediately burned. He roared and tried to grab the small sword, but as soon as he touched it, his skin was burned.
He had no choice but to leave the small sword inside his body and not touch it, but the feeling was very uncomfortable.
Zombies aren't completely devoid of pain; their pain perception is simply greatly reduced. However, things like having their skin burned or weapons inserted into their bodies can still cause considerable discomfort.
Unable to concentrate on pulling on the vine, he let go of it and started jumping around.
Actually, it's best to stay still when weapons are inserted into your body. But with his current intelligence, he doesn't understand this. He thinks that jumping around will make him feel better, but in reality, it only worsens his discomfort.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Meng Yuening withdrew the vines and continued to throw them at the Third Young Master.
This time, the Third Young Master was unable to defend himself fully and was bound by the vines.
However, he was still restless and kept rolling around.
As before, Jian Tanxi poured some water into the boiling teapot, let the water boil, then dissolved the sleeping pill and fed it to the Third Young Master.
Now, the third young master also fell into a deep sleep.
Originally, the Third Young Master was also covered in poison powder, but it disappeared after he fell into a deep sleep. Jian Tanxi pulled out the small sword and returned it to Qu Chen.
The people in the cave witnessed the entire battle and asked, "Is that zombie dead?"
Jian Tanxi said, "No, he just fainted and will be asleep for five hours."
"Then what do we do?"
How many of you have been bitten?
A middle-aged man said, "There are seven wounded people in the cave, bitten by another zombie. We thought we were safe hiding in this cave, but the zombie just discovered us. Luckily we have torches, which temporarily stopped him. If you hadn't come, we wouldn't have been able to hold out for much longer."
Jian Tanxi asked, "Were your wounded bitten by another zombie? Who was it? Where is he now?"
“We don’t know the other zombie, but we think he looks a bit like the one in front of us, and he also looks like a young boy. We don’t know where he is because he ran away immediately after biting someone. We were only focused on taking care of our companion and didn’t notice where he went.”
Judging from their words, the one who bit these injured people should be another young master of the Ou family, but unfortunately, we don't know where he is.
Jian Tanxi could only check on the seven wounded in the cave first, and found that their symptoms were quite serious, and they looked like they were about to die, so they were very likely bitten on the first day.
