Chapter 161 Desert Survival Day 24 (4) Congratulations, I...
“Lulu!”
Yu Miaomiao rushed over to grab him, but missed. Then she saw Lulu punch the man in the face again, and blood and saliva splattered everywhere.
The man wasn't angry after being hit. Instead, he let out a sinister laugh. "See, your so-called friend can't sit still anymore, afraid I'll say something."
“Beep beep beep—”
Out of the man's sight, she winked at Lulu. Seeing this, Lulu kicked the man in the face and said, "Stop trying to sow discord here. You don't even know who I am, and you're just making random accusations?"
"Your photos, your classmates, and even whether that Pipi is there, have all been sent to me. How come I don't know who you are?" The man choked on a mouthful of blood and continued.
In his words, only the words "Is Pipi here?" made a beeping sound.
Voice.
Lulu looked at Yu Miaomiao with hope in her hesitant eyes.
Yu Miaomiao met those evasive eyes, and using Lulu's body to shield them, she made a soothing gesture to her with her hands and mouthed the word "no".
Lulu's originally dejected expression suddenly brightened. She gathered herself together, turned around, and angrily shouted, "What gives you the right to say that? Do you think we'd believe your tales just because you're about to die?"
The man looked past Lulu and at Yu Miaomiao. "Look, ahem, I wouldn't say it was Lulu, because she invited you to deal with me, so how could it be her? If she wanted to turn against me, would you still be here safe and sound, and would I still be tied up here? It's just that they were all classmates, in the same group, so you better be careful."
Li Quanren said this not only to speak for Lulu. There were only two people present, and he needed to gain the trust of at least one of them to increase the credibility of his words. It was also to preserve his own value and avoid being beaten.
When he was lying on the ground at first, he noticed a shoe corner sticking out from a cactus in the distance. He guessed it was Lulu, so he came up with a plan to sow discord.
When he saw a girl over 1.7 meters tall rushing towards him, he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, when he was hit by the first punch, without the protection of the shield, his head hit the ground, and he swallowed a mouthful of blood and mud, with stars in his eyes. The second punch directly broke his nose bridge, and he now has difficulty breathing.
His words were half true and half false, and they sounded more like the truth when he spoke them out. As long as these two people believed them, he might still have a chance to escape. If he could get his hands free, he could use the adventure card to return immediately. He would make these two women pay back double for the suffering they had endured today. He lowered his head to hide the anger in his eyes.
"whoosh"
"Bang"
As soon as Li Quanren lowered his head, he was kicked hard. With Lulu's roar and Yu Miaomiao's arrow shooting sounds, he had to raise his head again despite the pain.
He felt like his waist was about to be kicked to pieces. How could Lulu have so much strength? Every punch and kick seemed to be a fatal blow.
"Sister Meow Meow, there are more and more monsters here. It's useless to bring a loser with you. If this man is the one who wanted to kill you that day, don't be soft-hearted. If you can't do it, why don't I do it and kill him now?" Lulu pretended to suggest.
Yu Miaomiao looked embarrassed.
Li Quanren was thinking a hundred things in his mind. At first, he thought that everyone who survived to this day was decisive and would avenge their enemies. But it was obvious that the cat in front of him was not short of water, but the one next to him was.
But this ruthless Lulu listened to Miaomiao and knew that she was not short of water, so there was a turning point.
Li Quanren, who was tied up, gasped and said, "I killed you... ahem, it was wrong of me, but I was also ordered to do so. If you can let me go, I can tell you more information. You got away with it last time, but you might not be so lucky next time. If I can tell you something in advance, you can at least avoid some harm. You don't want to be in fear every time, do you?"
Are they treating the two of them like three-year-olds? Would they trust someone who had killed them and provide useful information to avoid harm next time? In this sentence, the part about avoiding harm is the "beep" sound.
Yu Miaomiao found it difficult to pretend any longer. Lulu was the first to speak up and scolded, "How can you be trusted if you've killed the Meow God? We still have adventures to explore, so we don't have time to sit here and listen to your nonsense."
After saying that, Lulu kicked him in the head again, and blood immediately gushed out of the blind eye. Li Quanren felt that he had never been as humiliated as he was today, and the hatred in his heart became stronger. His original intention of ending it all was completely replaced by the resentment of revenge.
"Listen to what he says, Lulu, why are you so anxious..." Yu Miaomiao saw that the man no longer cared about observing the expressions of the two people, and finally did not have to hide her disgust and murderous intent. She wanted to get rid of him immediately, but the lie detection card still had half an hour, and she had to make full use of it.
"Yeah...why are you so anxious? Don't you want your friend to live, or do you want to replace your friend?" Li Quanren chimed in, only to be hit on his hunched back by a stick. He endured the sharp pain and used his remaining eye to see that Meow Meow wasn't short of water. He had no choice but to change his words, "Lulu, since you care so much about Meow God, you should consider her instead of being so limp and furious."
Yu Miaomiao laughed silently. As expected, once people have the desire to survive, those "lofty ambitions" and "heroic death" will be forgotten long ago.
The person in front of him might have initially thought that since he was caught and killed by someone he had hurt, that was it. However, after being tortured by Lulu, his thoughts gradually turned to hatred and unwillingness.
"What did you say you wanted to tell me some useful information?"
As soon as Yu Miaomiao finished speaking, Lulu added, "Sister Miaomiao, this guy is obviously a bad guy. Be careful of his traps."
"Our boss doesn't necessarily want to take your life. As long as you don't participate in the fight for the card to restore the world order, he won't bother dealing with you!" Li Quanren was afraid that they would suspect him, so he dropped a bombshell.
There were beeps before and after this sentence. Yu Miaomiao knew that these people would not let her go so easily given her high ranking and high stats. After all, they had tried to kill her. But what she didn't expect was that they actually knew about repairing the World Order Card.
Yang Haotian probably doesn't know about the existence of this card yet, otherwise he wouldn't be so comfortable enjoying the apocalyptic life and power struggles instead of going on adventures.
But no matter how old he is, Qiang knows it, so he is now so active in clearing the adventure zone.
How did he know?
"Alas." Yu Miaomiao sighed inwardly.
This matter should not be known by many people yet. The one who knows about it must be Yiwan Watt's confidant. Time is running out, so it is time to get more information.
Yu Miaomiao continued to ask: “Boss, do you want to go back to the real world, or do you want to?”
The man paused for a moment, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said, "Of course I want to go back. The end of the world is so pitiful, who wants to stay here any longer?"
From the "beep" sound, Yu Miaomiao seemed to understand. Just as she guessed, the bad guys didn't want to go back.
"How many people does the murderer have? What exactly does he want to do by keeping a group of people in captivity?" Yu Miaomiao didn't intend to ask about the situation of Ten Thousand Watts, because the other party would definitely talk nonsense. Even if he knew it was fake, he would not know what the real situation was.
Li Quanren coughed up another mouthful of blood. The pain and itchiness on his face had seeped from the surface of his skin to his internal organs. There was a fishy smell in the blood. He knew it was pus in the mouth without even looking. So this is what it felt like to be poisoned by a needle. No wonder those people looked like they were worse off than dead.
"Why do you always ask such meaningless questions? Don't you want to know that person's name? The killer's nickname in the game is 'Who Am I', and his real name is Li Quanqing." The man spat out a string of information neatly.
"What's the use of knowing his name? He can be the incarnation of countless people in that base, but why do you know his name?" Yu Miaomiao did not hear the sound of the system triggering the lie detection function.
The man lay on the ground, reminiscing a little, "Because that man is my brother. I helped the boss pull this thread."
So that's how it is. She was wondering how Yiwan Watt was connected to the murderer. He was an confidant of his.
"In the real world, he just tortured animals, stray cats and dogs, and I didn't take it seriously. But then, when the apocalypse came, he took pleasure in torturing people. At first, he asked me to help him trick people into coming to his place, and we split the supplies we got. I didn't know what he was doing until the truth came out, but by then, the boss had already contacted my brother... The boss provided him with manpower, and he provided the boss with material support, and even some assassins."
The whole sentence was spoken in a disjointed manner. Yu Miaomiao and Lulu did not interrupt him, their hearts filled with shock and disgust.
Instead of surviving well in the apocalypse, they set their sights on ordinary survivors and even used poison needles to train them into death squads. It's really despicable.
"So, because you've cheated so many people, you can't remember how many you have?" Lulu asked through gritted teeth.
Li Quanren closed his eyes tightly, enduring the pain as he spoke uncomfortably, "If not a hundred, then two hundred. I really can't remember. After all, I've only been there twice. The bodies there weren't complete and had their names removed. I didn't think much of it until one day I saw one of my brothers killed. Only then did I realize my brother's cruelty and inhumanity. I'm telling you this because I hope that one day you can liberate this base and let the people there regain their freedom."
So if the knife didn't cut you, it wouldn't hurt, right?
Only after his brother was killed did he feel something was wrong.
A base of several hundred people, especially a group of death warriors, all of whom are willing to die, is indeed difficult to deal with. Yu Miaomiao thought for a moment and asked, "Does your brother have any advanced weapons and defense equipment?"
Li Quanren replied quickly: "Just a sniper rifle, some bombs, and shields."
He quickly added, "There's a tunnel. My brother has a tunnel. He has a technology that can create a tunnel device. That thing can create an underground passage anywhere. This is his backup plan."
Seeing him being so vague, Lulu kicked him again. "It's already this late, and you're still showing your loyalty? Are you afraid that revealing the killer's methods would be like exposing your boss?"
Li Quanren suppressed his anger and replied, "I really don't remember anything else. Didn't you all believe what I just said? Since you believe what I said, why don't you let me go back? I can promise to help you eliminate my brother. I also want to rescue my brother."
Yu Miaomiao clapped her hands and said, "Sacrificing one's own family for the sake of justice is truly admirable."
Li Quanren couldn't see Yu Miaomiao's expression and thought that a little girl like her who had never experienced the end of the world believed it. After all, anyone who heard such an outrageous thing would be overwhelmed. He then coaxed her, "I can mortgage all the good things on me with you. I promise to help you find all the information about the killer. These things are treasures that Brother Qiang cherishes very much. I will find a way to redeem them no matter what."
"hehe."
"What are you laughing at?" Li Quanren could tell that it was Miaomiao's voice, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart. "I've told you so much, I just want to survive. As long as you can let me survive, I will definitely help you."
He didn't know why, but he felt like a disaster was about to happen. The pain from the ulcers on his body gradually replaced the itchiness. He didn't want to die like this. He didn't want to be like those people he saw at his brother's base, dying a slow death worse than death. He wanted to live.
"Is there a possibility that if you die now, all the good things on you will be mine? Do you think the message you send after you get out will be credible?" Yu Miaomiao bent down, pulled his rope, and confirmed the time. It was already time.
"What are you doing???" Li Quanren's only remaining visible eye was swollen by Lulu's kick. He could only hear the sounds around him but could not see what they were doing.
Lulu said calmly, "Before, you saw your brother abusing others and you thought it was nothing. Now I will let you experience in advance the pain your brother will suffer in the future."
"What? What are you going to do?" Li Quanren quickly thought of what they might do and begged for mercy in a panic. Lulu kicked him and dislocated his jaw. He could only let out a helpless "Ahhh".
"Does it hurt?" Yu Miaomiao squatted down and plunged a knife into the man's heart. "Congratulations, but we are not your brother."
Blood splattered on her shield and she was dazed for a moment. This was the first time she had actually killed someone with a knife.
Looking at the man who was gradually losing his breath on the ground and the pool of blood, she looked at her hands helplessly.
This person was indeed a bad person and did try to kill her, but... she really killed someone.
Because she was afraid that she would not be able to do it, the last time she dealt with the Big Winner in Life and Honesty, she chose to let them kill each other, but this time, she stabbed out the knife without hesitation.
"Sister Miaomiao, be careful!" Lulu pulled Yu Miaomiao's arm and avoided the mammoth's foot.
Yu Miaomiao immediately came to his senses, took out the sickle and hooked it towards the elephant's belly. During the ascent, he cut the mammoth's throat with one knife.
Several tons of adult mammoth pressed down on the body of 'Yi', and his blood splattered out again, mixing with the blood of the mammoth.
Ten medium and small bags appeared on the ground, which were primary backpack expanders and intermediate backpack expanders.
Everything inside is 'one'.
So bad guys are the same as monsters. She can kill monsters. Facing a vicious and inhuman human being, she shouldn't be distracted for too long. She should cheer up and continue fighting.
"Are you okay, Sister Miaomiao?" Lulu picked up the bags on the ground and handed them to Yu Miaomiao, saying, "Sister Miaomiao, these should be all the things."
Lulu looked at the receding figure and thought of the expression on Miaomiao Buqueshui's face. Just as she was about to say something to comfort him, she heard the other party leave a message.
"I'm fine. Put the stuff in your bag first. I'm going to kill the monster guarding the treasure chest. Remember to open the treasure chest."
After Yu Miaomiao finished speaking, he threw out the grappling hook and killed the treasure chest guardian monster in five minutes. Then he flew to the treasure chest by the river and killed both the baby elephant and the big elephant that were running towards him. Only then did the turbid air in his heart disappear.
The surrounding mammoths turned into ashes bit by bit as the treasure chest was opened.
A dozen bee patrol monsters flew over from a distance. Yu Miaomiao immediately entered a turtle hibernation state and raised her hand to shoot them. When she turned around, she saw Lulu covering the man's body on the ground with a piece of cloth, and several scavenger birds died beside them.
I don't know where these scavenger birds came from, at least not right in front of me. I didn't expect that living humans were not the scavenger birds' first target, but the human corpses on the ground were.
Yu Miaomiao came over and asked calmly, "How far have you come?"
"19%. I must have missed a treasure chest." Lulu took out the backpack expander and a silk dress and handed them over. "These are all the man's things. I sorted them out. This dress was taken from him. I just looked at the item description. It should be an invisibility cloak. I'm not sure if it can be repaired. I already rinsed it."
"Give it all to me?" Yu Miaomiao didn't take it.
Lulu said as a matter of course, "Of course, that guy was kidnapped by Sister Miaomiao. I didn't help much. At most, I followed Sister Miaomiao's instructions and played the good guy and punched the bad guys a few times. You know what, thinking about what they did, it feels pretty good."
Yu Miaomiao glanced at the bag, divided the items in half and handed them over, then took the invisibility cloak and said, "Half for each of you. I'll take an extra invisibility cloak."
"Sister Meow Meow, I can't..."
Seeing that Lulu was about to say something, Yu Miaomiao said, "We need to speed up. I want to be back before dark."
"good."
The two fought all the way, and after killing the second-to-last mantis monster together, they walked towards the passage leading to the final boss.
This time, because Lulu was there, the bee monsters along the way couldn't see them, but the scavenger birds kept pecking at them one after another, giving the two of them no chance to breathe.
After replenishing two bottles of stimulants, Yu Miaomiao came to the area where the final treasure chest was located with a nervous mood.
"Sister Meow Meow, the final boss is different from what you said. It's actually the same mantis monster from before."
Lulu's words also confirmed Yu Miaomiao's guess that in the Dark Oasis, the final boss people will meet is a copy of the strongest monster the current copy owner has ever seen.
The copy she is in now is Lulu's.
The strongest monster Lulu had ever seen was the mantis monster they had just killed with great effort.
The strongest monster that Yu Miaomiao and everyone at any age have seen is Xiaoguai, so all they see are zebra cats.
The mantis monster is not easy to deal with. When Lulu was killing it, a big cut was left on her hand.
When dealing with it again, Lulu used her shield to block the pressure of a mantis in order to help Yu Miaomiao attract firepower, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
During this gap, Yu Miaomiao used the jet device to fly to the top of the mantis's head, and used the large serrated scissors collected from "Yi" to cut its neck. Before it hatched a second baby mantis, Lulu slid quickly to its abdomen and stabbed it with the scimitar, finally getting rid of the mantis.
The mantis monster moves very quickly, and the way to kill it is to cut off its head. However, at the same time, a new one will immediately be born from its huge belly. Fortunately, the two of them have experience and work together to kill the monster in one fell swoop.
Lulu walked over to open the treasure chest and said, "Sister Meow Meow, I'll give you all the final treasure chests. I'll get the clearance rewards next time I come."
Yu Miaomiao shook her head. "Take them all and upgrade the metal house as soon as possible. The hard times are yet to come. I have something to go back for. I'll contact you if there's anything else."
After saying that, she left the team, and the next second, she was teleported back to her metal house by the system.
As they walked together, she did not talk to Lulu about the news she had just learned.
But after returning to the base, Yu Miaomiao still found it difficult to calm down the complicated emotions in her heart.
It was Yu Miaomiao who told Api about repairing the World Order Card.
Perhaps Api wanted to motivate Ziren to survive, so he told Ziren about this. However, Ziren turned around and told the bad guys, letting them know about the repair of the World Order Card, which undoubtedly made it more difficult for Yu Miaomiao and others to obtain this card.
Yu Miaomiao was indeed a little angry about Ziren's betrayal, but she saw clearly how Yi looked after being poisoned. The pain was not just a little bit, but a double torture of psychological and physical torture.
Ziren probably couldn't help it, so he chose to lower his head.
But is it really just a helpless move, using information to exchange for living space, or... completely switching sides?
Either way, it's betrayal.
Her communication with Ziren has always been related to OEM and Api. They have no connection with anything else and can only be described as ordinary friends.
What about Api?
How should Api, who is caught in the middle and knows nothing, face it?
Api's message soon appeared in the group chat.
"Is Pipi here? Wow, Lulu-chan, are you almost done? That's amazing! Did you guys solve 'one' yet? I saw Lulu's progress was stuck for a long time, and I didn't dare ask for fear of disturbing you."
"Pangpang: With the help of Sister Miaomiao, I've reached 24%. I should be able to clear the level next time I go, but we learned a lot from Yi. "
"Is Pipi here? Any useful information? Tell me now."
Yu Miaomiao was just about to send a private message to Lulu, saying that they wanted to discuss it first, when she saw the message Lulu sent.
"Pangpang: Ziren betrayed us. Not only did he sell my photos to the murderer and Strong No Matter How Old, he also told the bad guys about Sister Miaomiao."
Mmm.
Lulu is really outspoken. She puts things out there that she doesn't know how to say.
"Is Pipi here? What? Did I see correctly? You mean Ziren?"
"Pangpang: That's right. Ziren must be having a hard time with the killer, so he's using information to buy space. He's told us everything he should and shouldn't. I believe you won't betray us, but if there's any new information in the future, can you promise not to tell Ziren, Api?"
This was indeed what Yu Miaomiao was worried about, and Lulu actually asked all of them at once.
"Is Pipi here? How is this possible? How could Ziren do that? He wouldn't do that. Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I have a lie detection card, which I showed you in the group before. Through this card, I confirmed the news. And 'One' also mentioned the matter of restoring the world order card, and was even able to recognize Lulu on the spot."
"Is Pipi here? Perhaps, perhaps someone else showed them the photo? Not necessarily Ziren, but any of the classmates. And what if the lie detection card doesn't work? Ziren... he must have some difficulties. Let me ask him first. I'll definitely give you an explanation."
"Chubby: If you ask him now, he might tell the bad guys about our interrogation of 'One'. Then the information we have now might become useless, and he might even become their target."
"Pangpang: We're not forcing you to make a choice now. The choice of whether to speak up or not is up to you. But Ziren has already betrayed me and Sister Miaomiao. It's an established fact."
