The torch quickly reached the top of the banana leaf.
However, today these people were busy collecting materials for torches and avoiding everyone's sight, and inadvertently ignored the fact that it had rained today.
The torch fell on the roof, and the banana leaves that had absorbed enough water were not affected at all. The torch, which had no fuel and only dry grass to help it burn, soon died down, leaving only a puff of light smoke.
In the end, the roof did not catch fire, but one of the torches did not fall on the roof, but fell on the pile of firewood stored by the residents in the house. In an instant, the hay on top caught fire and smoke billowed!
The patrolman shouted: "Fire, fire, arson!"
Fang Xun has been very busy recently, and no one wants him to continue patrolling at night.
He was sleeping now, and when he heard someone shouting, his professional habit made him jump up before opening his eyes.
When he saw the camp on fire, his first reaction was to rush over, kick the haystack in the air, and push it outside to prevent the fire from spreading and burning the house support.
Then he turned around and chased after the fleeing people. The awakened residents saw him and rushed out, "Stop!"
“Don’t run!”
"You arsonists!"
It was dark and late at night, and everyone's vision was not very clear.
Fang Xun and others chased for several miles before gradually closing the distance.
Suddenly, Fang Xun accelerated, flew forward, and knocked down the last person running.
After he pinned the man to the ground, the residents behind him immediately came to help and took him away.
"Officer Fang, please keep chasing. We're bringing this guy back!"
Fang Xun left them behind and continued chasing forward with the remaining residents.
They chased and kidnapped people all the way, and finally only the mastermind and another henchman were left.
But Fang Xun had no help, and the residents who brought the people back had not had time to turn back.
There is a forest area ahead. If the two run in, it may be more difficult to catch them in the dark night.
Fang Xun stiffened his fists and decided that he couldn't be so gentle anymore.
He paused, stepped on a wooden stick on the ground, and prepared to use local materials.
At this moment, there was a whoosh sound from behind!
There was a sound of something breaking through the air, and something quickly cut through the sky. Just as the two men were about to rush into the woods, it was fiercely nailed to the big tree in front of them.
The two men were startled and stopped in their tracks.
Looking back, he saw a tall figure standing behind Fang Xun in the darkness. He didn't know what he was holding in his hand, but judging from his posture, it seemed to be a bow!
Si Lan held the bow that she had recently found time to polish and the arrow that she had just sharpened, and quickly put it on the rope string woven from bark fibers and pulled it - another arrow shot straight into the tree trunk in front of the opponent!
The man shuddered, unable to believe that under such conditions and light, this man had a bow and could shoot so accurately!
Si Lan's cold voice echoed through the darkness: "If you don't stop, your hands and feet will be the next targets."
As soon as the man heard the voice, he knew who this person was!
Last time, it was she and Fang Xun who made him lose face in front of everyone and was expelled and ostracized. Even if he turned into ashes, he would still remember this woman!
"You again. Why are you so nosy?! Where did you get your bow and arrows?!"
Si Lan's voice was cold: "Not everyone is as stupid and vicious as you."
The man couldn't believe she could hit the target so accurately in such darkness. He glanced at the forest before him: "Two more steps." Two more steps and they'd be in the woods.
In the intricate forest, trees were their best cover. The man sneered and turned back, "Come if you dare!" Then he turned and ran away.
Si Lan sighed impatiently, narrowed her eyes, and the arrow locked onto the target again.
Even though her wooden bow had just been polished and had not yet been precisely adjusted, this did not affect the feel she had developed over the years.
After taking aim, he pulled the bow to its full length, and whoosh! Another arrow flew out.
The sharply sharp arrow pierced the man and pierced his shoulder a second before he stepped into the forest!
"ah!"
The man was attacked by severe pain and fell in front of the woods!
His companion shuddered with fear and subconsciously went to help him, but he heard Si Lan's bow sound again from behind: "You dare."
The man's companion froze for a moment.
The man covered his shoulder and turned around with difficulty. "You dare to touch me? You really dare to touch me?! Do you know who I am? Do you know that as soon as I get out, I can put you and your lousy policeman in a corner with just one word?!"
Si Lan put away her bow and walked over: "Then I should kill you here."
The man shuddered again and quickly stepped back. "How dare you?! Don't come over here! My dad is a high-ranking official, and my mom is a lawyer at a law firm. You can't beat me!"
Si Lan: "So they're all termites, right?"
"How outrageous!"
She walked up to him and reached out to grasp the end of the arrow's feathers. "Do you still want to play? If you really want to play, I don't mind playing with you."
"Whether it's a high-ranking official in an agency or a powerful figure in a law firm, tell me the name. Let's see who will be left with nowhere to go, your family or us."
The man glared: "You have an identity too?"
"You'd be scared to death if I told you."
"Really???"
Si Lan ignored him and exerted force with her hand again, causing the arrow head to shift slightly from deep within his shoulder flesh.
The man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.
"Enough, stop it, stop it right there!"
"You, a police officer, don't care?!"
Fang Xun had just tied up the man who had turned himself in after being frightened. Seeing Si Lan had already started, he quickly called out, "That's enough, Miss Si Lan, stop it. It's enough if he admits his mistake. We will enforce the law impartially and not resort to lynching."
Si Lan stared at the man: "Did you admit your mistake?"
The man was still trying to hold back from saying anything at first, but when Si Lan's fingertips moved again, he started to tremble with fear again: "Okay, okay, I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake!"
"I, I just felt unbalanced seeing you guys living so well while we were living so miserably, so I came here to scare you and take revenge..."
Fang Xun came over with another person, feeling rather helpless: "If you're not doing well, why don't you just come back and tell us?"
"This momentary conflict isn't a big deal. If you calm down and come back to shake hands with everyone, can't you join us in building this together?"
The man didn't answer again, but his gritted teeth expression showed that he didn't want to admit defeat.
Fang Xun was too lazy to waste time talking to him. He found some hard-to-find herbs from the storage space and applied them to the edges of the wound. Then he broke off the exposed part of the wooden arrow. "You can't pull out the arrow yet. I'll treat it when we get back and have some water and medicine. Just bear with it for now."
The man didn't expect that his tone would be so gentle at this critical moment. He felt even more embarrassed and groaned without saying anything.
Fang Xun helped him up, and saw that there was another person following him. He couldn't take care of both sides, so he thought about it and glanced at Si Lan.
The latter said to the man without asking, "Come here."
This guy is not as brave as the mastermind. He was also deceived by the latter's sweet words and crazy promises, and followed him bewitched.
Now that he saw the leader was wilting, how could he dare to act presumptuously? He walked obediently towards Si Lan while explaining and begging for mercy from Fang Xun, hoping to get a lighter sentence when he returned.
The four of them walked for a long time before returning to the camp.
They were met by residents who had returned along the way. This time they brought torches soaked in resin. When they saw their people coming back, they hurried to light the way for them.
When they returned to the camp, the fire had been put out, and several arsonists brought back by the residents were tied together and placed in the center of the camp. A group of people surrounded them with sticks and other weapons.
Seeing Fang Xun coming back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time loudly demanded that these people be dealt with seriously.
In the blink of an eye, they saw Si Lan again. When they saw the longbow on her back, everyone was stunned again. After a long while, someone blurted out: "Where did you get the bow???"
Si Lan had recently led everyone to make a lot of tools that no one expected, and she didn't bother to hide it, so she just replied, "Make it yourself."
Everyone was shocked again. After a while, a few players who were naturally immune to weapons came over and asked her quietly, "Can it be used? Is the accuracy okay?"
Si Lan raised her chin towards the man whose shoulder she had shot with an arrow: "Look for yourself."
When a few people looked over, they found that the man was injured, with an arrow on his shoulder that was only a small section left!
He immediately saluted Si Lan again.
Si Lan was calm and composed. After sending the person there, she had no intention of participating in the subsequent "interrogation".
Fang Xun knew she was tired. She usually appeared quiet and elusive, but in reality, she was looking for resources, making tools, and building houses. Occasionally, she would come to the camp to help, and after that, she had to take care of the child who followed her.
He would feel dizzy if it were him.
Therefore, he did not keep her and told her that he would come to thank her tomorrow and let her go back to rest.
The interrogation did not last long. As a people's policeman, Fang Xun could not convict the troublemaking players in his own name without any clearly defined law enforcement venues or laws.
The locals were also reluctant to take them in, fearing potential trouble. Fang Xun was torn between executing them and letting them go. Finally, he called a democratic vote and adopted a plan agreed to by the majority: after treating the wounded, he tied the men to a tree near the camp and assigned guards to guard them. He also gave them a week to reflect on their mistakes and admit their mistakes. If they were sincere, the entire camp would then vote on whether to keep them.
When the few people who had been living outside for a long time heard that although they were kidnapped, they would be provided with food and drink, and someone would build a shelter for them to shelter from the rain, they agreed without thinking.
The man who led the riot had injuries on his body. In the absence of strict disinfection conditions, it was a miracle that the wound did not become inflamed. He did not dare to act rashly, so he just went along with it and nodded.
The matter was barely settled.
The residents returned home feeling very sleepy.
But what they didn't expect was that through the man's arson this time, the sensitive people in Country T who were paying attention to the game day and night discovered this scene.
The staff member who noticed something was wrong called Xiaowu and guided him to look at the footage of this area.
When Xiao Wu was sure that the incident had subsided, he also confirmed two things: First, there was still no guarantee that all the trapped players were good players.
Secondly, a set of special rules should be introduced as soon as possible and distributed to players in the game to let them know that if they harm others or hinder the construction progress in the game, they will be arrested, educated, or even criminally detained for obstructing public service after leaving the game. This will serve as a warning to players in the game and prevent them from doing whatever they want.
He guarded the place for a while, and only left when he saw no unusual movement at dawn.
But when he was about to withdraw the chip, he noticed that this camp seemed to be different from the other camps. Its progress was the fastest among all the camps. It also had rich resources and sufficient infrastructure, and many things were unique that he himself might not have thought of.
This aroused his curiosity and he couldn't help but take a second look.
As he was looking, he saw the lake on the side of the camp. Just as he was about to pass by it quickly, he suddenly noticed some strange broken bones tied to the lakeshore.
After seeing the broken bones, he was shocked and quickly looked at the densely distributed stones on the ground.
Suddenly, he was overjoyed. After leaving, he shouted to Wang Teng, who was taking a nap on the camp bed: "Team Leader! I found something!"
Wang Teng was almost frightened by him and fell off the bed. He quickly sat up and asked, "What? What did you find?"
Xiao Wu: "There's a place with a campsite. Players have left messages to communicate with us!"
