Chapter 228 You run pretty fast? Your eyes are better now?
The little alpaca blinked its eyes: "Chirp~, nobody knows, I was playing around yesterday and ran off, but I forgot the route."
Ji Xinghan was disappointed.
Is it possible that we can't get out of this place?
She asked, "Do you remember which direction you ran off in?"
The little alpaca pointed in a direction: "That!"
East?
Ji Xinghan remembered it.
However, she was still worried about one thing: it was already noon, and if they couldn't get out today, wouldn't they have to spend the night outside?
Spending the night outside is extremely dangerous, let alone in a place like this.
She crouched down and asked the only alpaca she could communicate with, "Won't it be dangerous at night?"
Little alpaca: "Hey? If you encounter any danger, you can come back to my home, sister!"
Ji Xinghan looked around. Was this a safe zone?
Unable to reach an agreement, Ji Xinghan decided to leave.
In just a short while, Ren Jie was beaten up again by the alpaca couple, leaving him with a bruised and swollen face.
The alpaca bleated.
The white alpaca spat out a mouthful of saliva with a "pfft," and the green liquid splattered right onto Ren Jie's face.
Ren Jie cautiously wiped it off, both surprised and frightened.
Seeing the green blob, Ji Xinghan was startled. Could it be that he had been poisoned by some unknown poison again?
The alpaca leaned close to her ear and whispered something. Ji Xinghan suddenly realized what it meant and patted the alpaca's head: "You're so kind, little guy."
Such a well-behaved child, I hope she doesn't run into anyone!
Ji Xinghan hugged the soft alpaca for a while, then stood up and said to Ren Jie, "Alright, let's go."
She turned and left.
Ren Jie panicked: "No, slow down!"
Holding a wooden stick, he stretched out his hands, his eyes blank, and said anxiously, just like before, "I can't see, Ji Xinghan, can you hold my hand?"
Ji Xinghan was taken aback, stared at him carefully for a while, and said, "Okay!"
She led Ren Jie with a stick in the direction the alpaca had pointed out. After walking for half an hour, she threw down the stick and said coldly, "Alright, goodbye!"
Ren Jie panicked: "Don't go! I'll die if you leave!"
Ji Xinghan looked at him coldly: "But I have indeed saved you and left."
She had absolutely no liking for Ren Jie!
She's full of lies, selfish, and spreads the virus everywhere without benefiting herself or others. What's most despicable is that she kept contacting her and Jin Baiwan privately before. She's no good!
And... not a single word of truth!
Ren Jie pleaded repeatedly, "Boss, please take me away from here, please! I'm blind, I'll die if I stay here alone..."
Ji Xinghan didn't speak, but just squinted at Ren Jie's eyes.
Ren Jie cried for a long time, and seeing that Ji Xinghan remained silent, he had no choice but to say, "I... I still have treasures, I'll send them to you now."
He pulled out a round, black object and said ingratiatingly, "This is a bomb, similar to a hand grenade. Pull the wristband, throw it, and it will explode. It's very powerful!"
Ji Xinghan took it.
[Bomb: When thrown, it can blast open a large area, shattering rocks and trees; its power is immense!]
Not bad, we finally managed to squeeze something out!
Ji Xinghan: "Just one?"
Ren Jie gritted his teeth: "There's one more!"
Ji Xinghan received two bombs and reluctantly said, "Okay, your two bombs can buy two hours of protection time. During this time, you can stay with me and I will try my best to ensure your safety."
Ren Jie: ...
He has no right to object.
Ji Xinghan led Ren Jie in circles, occasionally encountering strange beasts along the way, but she dealt with them all.
They walked for two hours, and Ren Jie, being stingy, took out a card that said "Swift as the Wind" and another that said "Incredibly Strong," and bought another two hours of time.
He took out a bag of Chinese cabbage seeds and bought an hour of his time.
The sun is setting in the west; it will soon be dark.
Ji Xinghan decided to take a break. She moved far away from Ren Jie, sat on a rock, and opened the chat channel.
The situation is not optimistic; in just a short time, two or three thousand people have already died.
The chat channel was filled with desolation:
"What should I do? Am I going to die too? Cough cough, I should have never gone out, sob sob!"
"Nobody dares to disturb the corpses of the strange beasts now, right?"
"Who would dare! That weakness virus is too contagious. Two hours ago, I met a player and we exchanged a few words from about ten meters away. Now, I suddenly have no strength left. Could I have been infected too?"
"Waaaaah, I want to go home!"
Ji Xinghan sighed; this natural disaster was too severe.
Ren Jie was extremely anxious: "Ji Xinghan, it seems we can't get out of here. It's going to get dark soon, we need to find a safe place to spend the night."
Ji Xinghan: "What suggestions do you have?"
Ren Jie was taken aback: "Ah, I, I didn't, I can't see it."
Suddenly, he perked up his ears: "Listen?"
Ji Xinghan tilted his head and asked, "What are you listening to? Birdsong?"
"Yes!" Ren Jie suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Did you hear that? The bird's call is very strange, like a 'caw caw' sound. When I chased the alpaca in, that's when I heard that sound!"
Ren Jie stood up excitedly: "We can get out soon, let's go!"
He staggered a few steps, leaning on a wooden stick.
Ji Xinghan tilted her head and looked at him without moving. Ren Jie noticed and turned around: "Hurry up, I really heard that bird calling."
Ji Xinghan responded, took the other end of the stick, and led Ren Jie into the woods.
They walked into the woods and went in for about a few hundred meters until they came to a very tall and thick tree.
Almost no grass or trees survived around that tree. It stood tall with a thick trunk that would take five or six people to encircle. The tree was very old, and its roots were exposed.
The tree is straight, and only when it reaches a height of about seven or eight meters does it have sparse branches and leaves.
A dozen meters or so up, the branches and leaves gradually became lush, blocking out the setting sun.
Ren Jie was excited and looked up: "It's here, it really is here! I remember, I can get out by going around this tree!"
"You have a good memory!" Ji Xinghan said quietly. She walked quickly to Ren Jie's side and gave him a hard push. "In that case, you go and take a look first!"
"Bang!" Ren Jie crashed into a tree trunk.
He looked up in alarm, then at Ji Xinghan: "You..."
"Gah!" A voice rang out.
"Whoosh!" A giant wing descended from the tree.
It is a giant bird.
Its wings are so large that they almost completely cover the tree when it lands.
Ji Xinghan quickly stepped back before he could see clearly.
It was a black bird, bigger than a typical house, with eyes like golden copper bells and a sharp beak like a steel knife. It didn't even glance at Ji Xinghan before swooping down.
It pecked at Ren Jie.
"Ah!" Ren Jie exclaimed, reaching out to clap his hands. A flash of light enveloped him in a protective shield.
"Bang!" The giant bird's beak slammed into the light shield, making a loud noise.
"Ji Xinghan, help! Help me!" Ren Jie shouted.
Ji Xinghan sneered: "What are you yelling for? Don't you have some ways to protect yourself?"
Ren Jie trembled inside the light shield. After 10 seconds, the light shield broke. He cast a Swift as the Wind spell on himself and ran desperately toward Ji Xinghan.
The giant bird slashed from behind with its claws, and Ren Jie screamed as a deep wound appeared on his back.
Ji Xinghan retreated hastily, and he chased after him, shouting, "Help! Help! Ji Xinghan, I was wrong, please save me!"
Ji Xinghan chuckled softly, "Oh, you run pretty fast? Your eyes are better now?"
Ren Jie was stunned for a moment.
