Xiao Jin easily saw through the other party's background, but Boss Xiang couldn't see through Xiao Jin's tactics.
Indigenous people? Players?
Both are possible.
The suspicion that the other party was an indigenous person stemmed from the fact that they had very few supplies.
The rubber boat under Xiao Jin was only that big, and he only had that one backpack. Any player in a survival game, knowing that there was a natural disaster, would immediately stockpile a large amount of supplies!
As for why Xiao Jin is suspected of being a player.
At this time of year, ordinary people usually stay in safe places, and even if they do come out, it's mainly to look for supplies. If someone goes to Xitai Mountain like them, then they must be a player.
The two sides gradually grew closer as a result.
When Xiang Laoda saw Xiao Jin's face clearly, he was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the other party to be so young, looking like a child who was only half a year old.
But when he discovered the long sword that Xiao Jin was carrying on his back, his surprise turned into fear.
With water everywhere outside, cold weapons are hard to find. Either the other party just happened to be lucky, or he had this knife before the natural disaster started.
In peacetime, anyone who can wield a cold weapon is definitely not a kind person.
While secretly raising his guard against Xiao Jin, he smiled at Xiao Jin with a friendly expression, pretending to be kind to his boss.
"Hello, young man, why are you out all alone in this heavy rain?"
Xiao Jin glanced at Boss Xiang indifferently, but didn't say anything. The meaning in her eyes was also very clear: Aren't you guys also getting soaked in the rain outside?
After Xiang Laoda realized Xiao Jin's thoughts, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He took a deep breath.
Are kids these days so hard to communicate with?
Xiang the leader: "Hehe! Ah, we are all survivors from the surrounding area. This rain came too suddenly. We plan to find some food and supplies while seeing if we can seek official protection."
Xiao Jin: I'd never believe you!
Xiao Jin lowered his head and continued paddling.
Watching the other person's departing figure, the boss's eyes held an ambiguous meaning.
"Boss Xiang? What's going on with him?" The person who had watched the whole thing was completely confused.
"Never mind him, let's create some distance and keep moving forward!" He waved to the leader.
"good."
The five rubber boats continued to move slowly forward, one leading the way and the other three surrounding and protecting the important supplies on the middle boat.
...
The proverb "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death" perfectly describes the current situation.
The surrounding area was a vast ocean, with only that majestic peak visible at the very front.
Xiao Jin was alright. Although she didn't have much of her superpower left, the existence of her superpower still brought some benefits to this body. Otherwise, with the original owner's weak body, let alone killing someone, her hands would probably be ruined after rowing a boat for ten hours or so.
Even so, when they were able to reach the shore, Xiao Jin's arms still trembled slightly.
After circling to the other side and waiting until the boats behind him were no longer visible, Xiao Jin then retracted the rubber boat into his spatial storage.
The ground was slippery, and due to the repairs, there were many wooden planks and building materials scattered on the mountain. Carefully avoiding these things, Xiao Jin looked up and walked up the mountain.
The Xitaishan Resort Hotel is located on the top of Xitaishan Mountain. Xiao Jin had looked at the map and knew that there were five or six mountain peaks of varying sizes around Xitaishan Mountain, and the hotel was located on the east side.
Having found the path leading to the east, Xiao Jin began climbing up the mountain.
Using trekking poles, Xiao Jin was fortunate to have good balance. The mountains were mostly wet and muddy, and tree leaves were scattered on the ground, so it was easy to slip if you weren't careful.
Gradually, Xiao Jin's rain mask was completely covered by rainwater, making it difficult for her to see her surroundings.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin stopped and found a gap with rocks above him to rest.
The temperature on the mountain is already low, and with the rain these past few days, the outside temperature has dropped very quickly. It's probably only seven or eight degrees Celsius outside now!
Hiding under the rocks, Xiao Jin unbuttoned her raincoat and threw it on the ground. Her lips, visible beneath her mask, were already faintly pale. The rain was too heavy; even with rain boots inside, they were still soaked.
Lighting a campfire temporarily dispelled the surrounding chill.
Xiao Jin washed her feet with clean water, changed into clean shoes, socks, and clothes, and then placed the things she had taken off near the flame to dry.
Xiao Jin retrieved a pot of piping hot roasted duck from his spatial storage and ate it with white rice, occasionally taking a sip of white wine.
After consuming the alcohol and spicy food, Xiao Jin immediately felt warm all over. By the time she finished eating, she was already sweating slightly on her forehead.
On the other side, Boss Xiang and his group were also taking a break.
If the boss had some doubts about Xiao Jin's player identity before, he decisively confirmed that Xiao Jin was a player once he discovered that the two had the same destination.
When we got ashore, I thought we should all go together, since we're all from the same world. In this unpredictable game world, every extra person means extra strength.
Xiao Jin clearly didn't want to have anything to do with them. Finding himself being avoided, Boss Xiang was somewhat disappointed, but still chose to distance himself from Xiao Jin.
Sigh~
It's a pity we've lost a great helper!
The boss also had weapons, but they were just sticks, kitchen knives, watermelon knives, and the like. The guy in front of me had a real cold weapon.
The group found a place to shelter from the rain and started a fire to cook.
It's really cold today!
Before the natural disaster began, it was still the height of summer in D City, so the group wore raincoats on the outside and layers of summer clothes underneath.
Not only are they bulky and inconvenient, but when you sweat and then get a cold wind, it feels like you've been doused with a bucket of ice water.
Unlike Xiao Jin, the group simply cooked some instant noodles in an alcohol-fueled pot, inhaling the broth and water in a whirlwind, finally feeling alive again.
"Phew~ We'll be safe once we get to the hotel!" The male student sighed, his eyes gazing at the mountaintop in the distance.
Xiang Da paused for a moment, then continued slurping his noodles: "It's definitely possible. Since it's a game, there must be a way to complete it. The mission requires survival, so there won't be any way to die."
Those around them heard what Boss Xiang said, and whether it was true or not, they breathed a sigh of relief.
'Boom!'
A flash of white light appeared, and half of the sky suddenly lit up. Thick lightning bolts, like giant snakes, appeared, as if bringing some kind of signal. Outside, the heavy rain poured down, and the wind blew the rain onto the faces of the boss and the others.
Before they could save the campfire that was about to be extinguished, everyone suddenly felt a violent tremor.
The next second, the ground shook violently, and the rocks underfoot bounced up. The group of people held on to each other, all looking ahead with fear on their faces.
