"Dragon's Flame".
Cheng Shuang shouted coldly, and the lizard-like Western dragon soared into the air, circling above the river and bamboo houses, stretching its huge and powerful body as much as possible.
The little girl glanced at Du Jun, smiled, and asked, "How can we get rid of them to vent our anger? Okay, let's take them all out at once!"
Du Jun... he didn't seem to say a single word.
After asking a perfunctory question, Dragon Flame exhaled a breath, flames erupted, and accompanied by a howl as terrible as a wild beast, an amphibious vehicle slowly drifted downstream.
By the time the sun had fully risen, the bamboo house was engulfed in flames.
From the roof of the car, Cheng Shuang could only see a tiny red dot in the distance until it went out completely.
Du Jun drove attentively, while the gloomy-looking man sat in the passenger seat holding a bottle of wound disinfectant, constantly spraying it on Du Jun with sighs.
This task was originally supposed to be done by Cheng Shuang, but since the young girl was still angry, the sullen and strange girl became the medical assistant.
Sad Monster: I've shouldered a burden that shouldn't be mine to bear, sigh~
This is an extremely long river, and the water is always turbulent. It is separated from the mountains, and the closer it gets to the city, the lighter its color becomes, giving it a clear and beautiful appearance.
The amphibious vehicle could go no further; it stopped under a bridge and hid in the shadows.
Cheng Shuang drew a simple map, marking the locations of Liu Juan and Si Hai and the others.
Despite the simple clothing of the villagers in the bamboo huts, the human-shaped vagrants in the city are actually well-dressed, no different from those in the real world. In fact, Liu Juan and her friends have not encountered any danger while mingling among them.
Of course, nighttime doesn't count.
The city at night is the time when the man-headed fish patrol, and everywhere is damp and fishy; it is nothing short of a parade of a hundred ghosts.
They were in a daze, but compared to the man-headed fish in the village, they were more tolerant of their own kind, unlike the fish that would fight fiercely when they met in pairs after entering the water.
Perhaps it's also because there's less bloodshed in the city that triggers the animalistic instincts of wild beasts.
As the sun began to set, the two put away their amphibious vehicle and leaped onto the bridgehead. Looking down from their vantage point, they realized that this place was less like a city and more like a relatively modern small town.
Most of the buildings are no more than six or seven stories high, with a strong sense of community. On the ground floor, you can still see many illegal structures used as shops. The 'people' living nearby all know each other. When you buy something or take a stroll, many people will greet you. Everywhere you look, there is a sense of peace and comfort. At first glance, they seem like dangerous outsiders.
The tallest building in the vicinity is the government office building at the center, which has twenty floors. Its floor-to-ceiling tinted glass blocks outside views, making it a prominent landmark. The words "Peach Blossom Island Government Center Building" can be seen in large letters from the bridge.
If it hadn't initially appeared in the water tank, probably no maintainer would have guessed that this was a world teeming with human heads and fish; they would have simply assumed it was a newly developed resort island.
Cheng Shuang clicked her tongue, which made Du Jun turn his head to look at her.
The young girl's face was indifferent, but the corners of her lips curled up. "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Juan."
Du Jun immediately understood.
With several companions suffering from amnesia, seeing a world completely similar to human society, it would be difficult not to overthink things.
Moreover, these wanderers weren't unusual, and they all had human-headed fish-like appearances. Without thinking, he began to doubt his own identity again, mistakenly believing they were experimental subjects rather than protectors.
"How did you regain your memories, young man?"
Du Jun pursed his lips and uttered two words, "I was woken up by pain while unconscious, and then woke up to faint again from the pain." This one sentence summarized the torment he had suffered for two days and two nights. If it weren't for his high mental strength, he probably would have been driven to despair and psychological distortion long ago. Fortunately, the moment he woke up, he controlled the room full of human-headed fish that were trying to rip out his heart and lungs and entered the game, allowing him to hold out until nightfall. Otherwise, he might not have been able to wait for Cheng Shuang's rescue.
Remembering his ordeal, Cheng Shuang fell silent, patting the older boy's shoulder with her small hand to comfort him. At the same time, she became even more worried about her other companions.
We can't just resort to cruel torture to restore their memories!
Let alone whether the body can withstand it, even the willpower may not be able to endure it.
The two hid in a quiet alley. Cheng Shuang checked the time. "I should go back now. When you see Sister Juan and the others, tell them we'll meet at the government building entrance tomorrow at noon."
Du Jun quickly grabbed the little girl's wrist, frowning as he said, "That's too risky!"
Cheng Shuang raised an eyebrow. "A bunch of water creatures, trying to fly!"
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Du Jun pursed his lips and said, "Then be careful!"
"Yes, if I'm not there by noon tomorrow, I'll communicate with you using flower petals."
After giving her instructions, Cheng Shuang left without hesitation. Anyway, Sister Juan and the others had been staying at a guesthouse for two days without making any moves. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suggested that the young man go and help Sister Juan. It must be that these companions had become suspicious of her and Sister Juan's identities and were slacking off.
The facts were pretty much as Cheng Shuang had guessed, because Liu Juan had also transformed that night, almost indistinguishable from the human-headed fish wandering the streets, which greatly reduced her credibility. If Si Hai's memories hadn't gradually returned, temporarily suppressing the restless crowd, things would have been much more complicated than simply remaining still.
Compared to the various death zones of the past, this place of death is really nothing to be afraid of. The most fearsome Möbius strip structure is, frankly speaking, just a way to confuse some of the food supplies that have escaped by accident.
But when the maintainers lose their memories, they all become naive newcomers to the world. They haven't experienced many dangers, have no recollection of the wanderers' treachery, and possess skills. The fact that they don't act recklessly shows that they are wise and calm.
