Chapter 166 Linked Together (6) - Illegal Operation
The wooden peg moved back and forth quite quickly, and its vertical length was about the same as hers.
If Ning Shu is to pass successfully, she must climb to the distance that the wooden pegs cannot cover within this short period of time.
Ning Shu said to Si Zhong above, "I'll try to get over there. If not, I'll do as you say."
After saying that, she stared at the row of nails, and as soon as it moved backward on the wooden ladder, she immediately climbed up.
Because she had spent a long time climbing the ladder, her hands were trembling and her limbs were not very nimble, so she was unable to get through successfully.
When she was just two steps away from the nails coming back and about to pierce her legs, she pushed off suddenly, landing on the wooden steps and jumping backward, leaving the ladder behind.
Si Zhong held the stepping stone in one hand and the chain in the other, keeping a close eye on Ning Shu's movements.
Seeing her suddenly push off and leave the wooden ladder, he quickly pulled the chain up.
Ning Shu returned to the wooden ladder due to the arc of the swinging chain.
Thanks to Si Zhong's suggestion, she moved out of the range of the nail attack and landed safely on the wooden ladder.
Si Zhong still admired Ning Shu's quick wit, even though she had short legs and poor physical strength.
The two continued climbing, successfully navigating several such nail traps along the way.
However, a new problem arose: suddenly a lot of birds appeared around.
These birds liked to attack them, but fortunately Ning Shu and Si Zhong were both skilled, and most of the birds were killed by them, with only a few remaining circling around.
When Ning Shu saw the end of the ladder, she almost burst into tears.
If she doesn't get to the top soon, she estimates she'll have to spend the night "hanging" on the ladder.
At the top of the wooden ladder was a small area covered with planks, which were connected by ropes in a cross shape. No nails were used, and the planks were laid out in a seemingly chaotic yet orderly manner.
Even after they arrived, some birds still circled around them, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to attack them again.
Because they dared not make any rash moves for the time being, they left the birds alone for the time being.
At this moment, a few screams occasionally echoed in their ears. The screams never stopped, but the intervals between them were not consistent.
Torches were burning on both sides of the wooden walkway, and there was a dilapidated house in the middle.
It's considered dilapidated because it's so rudimentary. It's made of wooden planks with huge gaps that can't even keep out the wind. There's no door, and the floor of the wooden house is covered with straw.
Ning Shu brought up the control panel again, and it was almost 11 p.m. They had been climbing for a long time.
Si Zhong pulled her around the area before saying, "It's late, let's rest here tonight."
After saying that, he walked to the straw in the wooden house and sat down, and Ning Shu sat down as well.
She watched as Si Zhong gestured twice in the air with one hand, seemingly doing something, and suddenly her expression turned sour.
Ning Shu didn't dare ask why, afraid of offending him, and stayed quietly.
After a while, I heard my stomach growling.
She was hungry, so she reached into her storage space. Despite its small size, it was packed full of compressed biscuits, though it couldn't fit a bottle of water.
I suddenly feel a little envious of the ink bottle in Wu Yi's hand. It's small but can hold a lot, perfect for a poor girl like her.
She had just touched two compressed biscuits when she heard a system notification.
[Violation of regulations: Food is not allowed in this instance. Please find other food.]
What the heck? What kind of violation is this? Hasn't it always been like this? Otherwise, why would she buy web hosting space?
Ning Shu was not giving up and tried to take the item out again, and the same system prompt sounded again.
It's so outrageous, how is that against the rules?
She suddenly remembered Si Zhong's expression just now, and then looked at him: "Were you trying to take something from the space just now, but the system wouldn't let you?"
After hearing this, Si Zhong looked at her and his first question was, "You also have a spatial ability?"
The implication is: since you have one, why give it to him?
Ning Shu could easily understand what he meant, and honestly replied, "My space is too small, can't you take your things out?" She asked again.
Si Zhong nodded, but added, "Only the food cannot be taken out."
Ning Shu frowned: "Then what should we do?" Her food was all in her spatial storage.
Si Zhong said nonchalantly, "Then we'll find something else to eat. It's no big deal."
Ning Shu was speechless: "You make it sound so simple, but the area is so desolate that there's not a single hair to be seen. Where can we find anything to eat?"
After Si Zhong finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the side, and raised his right hand, waiting for something.
Ning Shu was puzzled, but she remained silent and waited patiently.
After a while, she saw Si Zhong suddenly grab a bird that flew past him.
The moment he caught the bird, he swiftly grabbed its neck, snapped it, and then decisively threw it onto the floor.
All of this was done in an instant, with one hand. It has to be said that Si Zhong was incredibly handsome in that instant.
The whale's abilities exceeded Ning Shu's imagination. First, he used a knife to block bullets, then he caught a bird with his bare hands. Such a person has perfect survival skills.
Si Zhong caught seven or eight birds with his bare hands, and the bird carcasses lay scattered on the ground.
The other birds still flying in the air seemed to be frightened by the scene and scattered in all directions in an instant, disappearing without a trace.
When Si Zhong saw that the birds had all scattered, he came back, bent down and picked up all the birds on the ground. He found a place with a protruding rock and sat down to use as a stool, and began to pluck their feathers.
Upon seeing this, Ning Shu asked, "Do you need any help?"
Si Zhong didn't even look up, and asked, "You can?"
Ning Shu thought to herself, "Who are you underestimating? Anyone can pluck a feather!"
After hearing this, Si Zhong raised his chin to the ground and said, "Then I'll help."
Ning Shu happily picked up a bird from the ground and began plucking its feathers.
She didn't recognize the birds or know what kind they were, but they looked normal enough to be eaten.
She plucked the feathers from three birds in total; the remaining five were done by Si Zhong.
It must be said that Si Zhong did a pretty meticulous job; the birds he handled were indeed quite clean, while the birds she handled were much rougher.
She didn't know how to proceed with the next step of gutting the bird, since she had never done it before and found it somewhat disgusting.
Si Zhong took out the short knife from his waist and worked on it with ease, handling the situation as if he were a very experienced chef.
Seeing Si Zhong working so diligently, Ning Shu couldn't help but marvel at how versatile this man was. His knife skills were also impressive; he could not only fight on the battlefield but also slaughter chickens and sheep.
Seeing Ning Shu's idle appearance, Si Zhong asked her to go find some wooden planks.
Ning Shu looked around but couldn't find any stray planks. When she came back, she told him about it.
Si Zhong glanced at her coldly, seemingly blaming her for her incompetence, which made Ning Shu feel somewhat annoyed.
