The man was a burly man, tall and strong. Although they were about the same height, the handsome and elegant Lang Yu looked much thinner compared to him.
The man naturally didn't take Lang Yu seriously. After looking him up and down, he clenched his fist and hit him in the face.
Lang Yu dodged in time and was about to strike back when he heard Qi Mi cough lightly. He paused, vaguely seeing Qi Mi shake his head, then he lowered his hand obediently and stood aside.
Qi Mi took over the conversation at the right moment, searching the pockets of her sweatshirt and pants. "I only have that one knife, and it's for bluffing... I have nothing else on me. Look, it's all empty." She turned up her sleeves and trouser legs, showing them to the man as if to prove her innocence, and then deliberately changed the subject. "You said you'd keep me safe if I obeyed. Now that I'm obedient, you have to keep your word."
Just then, the monster came over pushing a cart. The man glanced at her and didn't ask any further questions. "Alright, alright, I don't think you can do anything about it... Get in the car."
It was a simple three-wheeled cart used to deliver express packages. The space built with metal plates was so crowded and narrow that one had to bend down really hard to get in. There was also an unbearable stench inside.
Qi Mi was the first to walk in. He huddled himself in the corner to make room for the remaining two boys.
There was a pool of sticky blood under her feet, which had not dried well and must have been stained not long ago.
I don’t know whether it belongs to Eva or Yu Shan.
Qi Mi had just moved and hadn't adjusted his position when Lang Yu was urged to get in the car.
A man of about 1.8 meters in height squeezed in, leaving almost no space for him to move. He could only use his arms to support the left and right sides of the metal box to stabilize his body and make room for her.
After Joe was stuffed in, the balanced position that had just been established was broken again.
Lang Yu was pushed forward unexpectedly and pressed against Qi Mi. The two of them were suddenly very close, with their noses touching each other, and their rosy lips were so close that he felt he could kiss them if he just lowered his head.
Through the black cloth in front of him, he saw Qi Mi's delicate eyes close to him, which struck his heart in an instant.
Lang Yu: “…”
He pursed his lips and hurriedly looked away.
With a click, the car door locked, and the three adults were piled inside in a very crowded and strange position. Lang Yu and Qi Mi faced each other, while Qiao Ye and Lang Yu sat back to back. Everyone's hands and feet were so stiff that they could only curl up into a ball. If they moved even a little, they didn't know who they would bump into.
Soon, the car started to move with a creaking sound.
Probably because there is no electricity, these people can only rely on this pedal-powered vehicle for convenience.
Since they used a car, it meant that the place they were going to was probably some distance away from this location.
Qi Mi put his ear to the cold iron sheet and listened carefully to the movement outside.
Most of the chaotic footsteps had dissipated, but a small part was still following the car... As she was listening, there was suddenly an explosion from above. She subconsciously dodged to the side, but the distance was too close, and she bumped into Lang Yu's arms.
Lang Yu: “!!!”
Lang Yu paused, clenched his hands into fists, and dared not move at all.
Qi Mi whispered an apology and slowly stood up.
Looking up, there was an obvious oval-shaped protrusion on the iron plate above.
The already crowded space seemed even shorter.
Lang Yu had to lower his head.
"How is it? Is the special car comfortable?" The next second, a man's rough laughter came from above.
He sat leisurely on the metal box and waited for two seconds. When he didn't hear any sound from the car, he deliberately raised his feet and kicked the metal plates on both sides hard.
There was a loud bang, and the three people in the car felt like a gong was struck in their ears, making their scalps throb.
The man was satisfied and swayed along with the car.
Qi Mi could no longer hide the murderous look in his eyes.
Fearing that the man would suddenly attack her again, she didn't dare put her ear against the metal plate anymore and just leaned her head against it.
The vehicle was moving steadily and slowly, and all I could hear was a creaking sound that was getting louder and louder, as if it was about to fall apart.
Qi Mi stared blankly ahead, silently calculating the distance. It must have been ten minutes since he'd left the supermarket entrance. With the car going so slowly, it couldn't have gone very far...
Her thoughts gradually came back to her senses, her eyes became focused, and she realized that she had been looking at the boy's neck.
It was so close that even the rolling of his Adam's apple and the slightest swallowing movement could be seen clearly.
Qi Mi watched and watched, secretly glanced at the boy who lowered his head deeply, pretended to scratch himself, and quietly raised his hand...
As if he had noticed something, Lang Yu dodged backwards suddenly, pushing Qiao behind him so that his face hit the car door directly.
Qiao Ye: “?”
Lang Yu leaned back, a half-smile on his face, and said in a playful tone: "Miss, there are other people here. It's not good to touch me like this, right?"
At this point, being so close, Qi Mi wasn't afraid that he would run away, so he went straight to the point: "Sorry, I have too many questions about you, and I need to confirm them in person before I can feel at ease."
"Confirm what?" Lang Yu raised his eyebrows. "We're just temporarily collaborating, not living together. As long as our goals are the same, isn't that enough?... What? Are you afraid I'll hurt you?"
…
Qi Mi thought for two seconds and felt that what he said made sense: "Yeah, it's just saving someone, not partnering up..." She slowly put down her hand and leaned back.
The car was quiet again.
The car must have reached an open area. The squeaking sound of pedaling stopped echoing and quickly spread outwards.
When the car door was shaken rapidly by the wind, the fallen leaves on the ground were also swept up, making a rustling sound.
Suddenly the car speed increased, probably because we were on a downhill slope, and the pedaling sound disappeared temporarily.
After riding for less than five minutes, they rushed over a long, gentle slope when the bike suddenly stopped. The man, holding onto the bike box, jumped to the ground and knocked on the door. "Attention, attention, we're here."
The three of them were on edge.
After the car door opened, Qiao Ye and Lang Yu were pulled out one after another.
Qi Mi stood up and was about to leave when the man pushed her back: "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait a moment!"
She uttered an "oh" and took the opportunity to glance outside. They must have arrived at a legendary wealthy area, with rows of beautifully decorated single-family villas lining both sides of the road.
Just as I was about to take a closer look, the man closed the car door. Then, there was the sound of a key turning in the lock.
Qi Mi was left alone in the car.
"You, take these two men over there. Remember to wash them clean before putting them in the pot. Don't let any inedible food appear again!" came the man's deep voice.
"yes!"
After watching the two "foods" turn into the back of the villa, the man's gaze fell back on the car and he chuckled a few times: "Let's go, I'll take you there myself."
After saying that, he drove away a monster that had been riding the bike before, got on it himself, and drove slowly towards the depths of the villa area with Qi Mi.
Lang Yu took a look and walked forward surrounded by seven or eight monsters.
My ears were filled with Qiao Ye's screams.
"No! Don't eat me!" Joe's face turned pale. He turned around and tried to run but was stopped by the monsters. He heard the man's words clearly: wash them clean before putting them in the pot! The two of them were about to be eaten!
There was no light around him now, and his shadow-controlling skills were completely useless. He could only ask for help from Lang Yu beside him.
Qiao also grabbed his hand and said, "We are about to be eaten. You better think of a solution!"
“…” Lang Yu glanced at him and pulled his hand away coldly.
Seeing how scared he was, several monsters laughed out loud: "Don't be afraid, it's just a matter of closing your eyes. We will make you very delicious, Gulu——"
"Gulu—I've already thought about it. You grill it and he steams it. It's perfect."
"Don't roast me! No!" Seeing that he was about to enter the villa, Joe was so scared that his face turned almost deathly pale, and the monster held his arm tightly.
He struggled violently, and four or five monsters came together to control his hands and feet, and lifted him up like prey.
"Fuck it! I told you this method wouldn't work! Now look what happened! We're about to be eaten!" Qiao was also very emotional and started cursing. "This is what you call a fishing expedition! Now we're the ones caught! Don't be so stupid! Think of a solution!"
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he immediately shouted, "That's right! I can take you to find more food! As long as you let me go! I know there are still many edible humans!"
Lang Yu raised his eyes, his face turning a little colder.
Joe also kept struggling, hoping to find a way to save himself. "I know there's a bus full of children! Their meat must be even more delicious! Just let me go! I can take you there right away! As long as you can let me go!"
The monsters looked at each other, undecided for a moment.
After their IQ deteriorated, they had almost no ability to think and could only hunt and obey.
Seeing the monsters standing there in a daze, Joe also felt that there was hope, and immediately vowed: "Really, that bus is just outside the city! I can lead the way, and it's full of delicious children! If you don't believe me, I'll take you there right now!"
Lang Yu sighed softly and raised his head slightly: "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true! I heard it with my own ears when I passed by. There were many children talking inside!" Qiao Ye thought that Lang Yu was asking about the truth of the matter itself, and replied hurriedly.
Little did he know that Lang Yu simply couldn't stand his shameless behavior. Upon hearing this, his expression became even gloomier.
"Gui Chen, come out--" He called out coldly, and in an instant, a small black folding fan appeared in his hand.
This small fan is slightly smaller than an ordinary folding fan, and appears to be lighter and more agile. It is entirely black with a blood-red border, and a pattern of a soaring phoenix is printed in the center of the fan.
The fan bones are made of real bones, and you can see that they are five distinct finger bones, with a faint green light in the darkness.
Langyu's hands are already white, and when he holds this small black fan, the collision of black and white makes him look even more desolate and otherworldly.
