The carefully cared-for nails dug into her flesh, but Lu Yao was so lost in jealousy that she didn't notice the pain at all.
Although Youtiao responded on the surface, he thought in his heart that the possibility of Lu Zhi's survival was very low.
As young ladies of the Lu family, Lu Yao's weak and delicate appearance is really a drag. How strong can Lu Zhi, who was brought up by the Lu family, be?
Hiding the sneer and ridicule in his eyes, Youtiao dutifully led a small group of people to inquire and search for Lu Zhi's body on the ice.
…
"I should have just eaten dry food."
Standing in front of the ice cave with her arms folded, Lu Ting's aloof face showed a bit of irritation and impatience.
She is not afraid of trouble, but she will still despise it when necessary.
Lu Zhi touched his slightly bulging belly but didn't say anything.
Gathering in front of him were not only NPCs, but also players who were trying to take advantage of the situation.
...
...
They were already ravenous after smelling the delicious food, and when they saw the three men wearing warm and windproof down jackets, they became so jealous that their eyes turned red and they were drooling.
"Little brother," the man who was pushed out smiled happily, and adhering to the principle of not hitting a smiling person, he approached and said, "Can you lend us some food? We should unite as one in an emergency. The twelve governors will come to rescue us, and you will definitely reward us when the time comes."
Anyone can make big promises. But they often sound good, but in the end they are the ones who suffer.
Yuan Shuo, who was morally kidnapped, stared at the man without saying a word.
The one man and two women in front of them were no match for this group of people.
Yuan Shuo stood in front of the crowd, his short black hair hanging down obediently, his cold white skin and drooping eyes, his inexplicably sickly and weak appearance made others despise him.
What kind of waves can a pretty boy like him make?
Besides, they were not unreasonable people. They would repay what they borrowed. As long as the governors of the twelve cities sent people to rescue them, they would give them countless wealth.
It’s a super good deal, and they aren’t the only ones who suffer.
Seeing Yuan Shuo staring at him without saying a word, the man looked into his dark and deep eyes and felt a little scared: "Everyone should return what they borrowed. It's wrong for you to hide it at this time."
After saying that, he turned around and winked at the crowd gathered behind him.
They were numerous and powerful, and even if Yuan Shuo and the other two refused to let go, they could drown them with a single spit from each of them.
"That's right! It won't cost us anything to eat!"
"Isn't it a bit too much to be so petty at this time?! It's just a few mouthfuls of dry food!"
"You're eating so well, isn't it just to make us come over and ask for food? I advise you to be sensible! Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! If you can't eat it, you'll have to pay the price!"
People were talking one after another, becoming more and more confident, and their eyes were filled with condemnation and displeasure as they looked at the three people.
If they have something, they have to share it. If they really can't, they can only grab it themselves. If anything happens to the three people in front of them, it will not be something they can control.
Who told them not to rescue people at this time?
Chen Ting was angered by their ugly faces, and a sharp chill crept up between her eyebrows.
"We've eaten them all." Lu Zhi stepped forward and stood beside Yuan Shuo. She was not worried about Yuan Shuo. "If you don't believe me, you can lift the curtain."
The thickness of the ice layer is only as long as a baby's arm, and it is crystal clear, and you can vaguely see inside if you look carefully.
There was no trace of guilt on Lu Zhi's face. The leading man looked at her deeply and hesitated for a moment, unable to make up his mind.
Are you bluffing and trying to launch a reverse empty city strategy?
It doesn't look like it.
Glancing at the hesitant man, the muscular man who threatened to make Lu Zhi and the others pay the price pushed him away with his shoulder, snorting hot air from his nose: "I want to see it with my own eyes."
After he finished speaking, he scanned the area with his eyes and finally fixed them on Lu Zhi: "If you really don't have it, then forget it. But if I find out that you dare to lie to me, I will punch you in the head and make your brain explode!"
The muscular man strode forward and pulled down the curtain. Seeing this, Lu Zhi, who was standing on the side, frowned and then quickly smoothed her eyebrows.
The ice cave is not very big. There is a hot pot placed near the entrance. The flame under the pot is so weak that it seems like it will be extinguished by a burst of cold air in the next second.
It's much warmer inside than the cold wind outside.
The thin coat could not keep out the cold wind, which clung to the skin and gave rise to goose bumps. I was so cold that I shivered and my teeth chattered.
At this moment, the muscular man's tense muscles began to relax, and the frost spreading around his body also dissipated for the most part.
The space is not large, so a simple glance around will give you a good overview.
There was indeed no food in the ice cave, not even basic anti-freeze and cold-proof supplies.
It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed. The muscular man walked out while thinking of other ideas.
Seeing him come out, the crowd of onlookers who were huddled together for warmth all took a few steps forward and looked at him hopefully: "How is it? You can't hide the supplies after you find them."
The muscular man sneered: "I don't even have a hair, what can I hide!"
But...he punched Yuan Shuo with malice in his eyes.
The small ice cave is a good place to keep warm. It is definitely better for all of them to gather together and keep warm than to find a place to hide in the open air.
It is a good idea that does not require any effort and you can use the residual heat to warm your body.
The muscular man was a size bigger than Yuan Shuo, and his muscles, which had been bulging from years of fitness, looked strong and powerful. His move was too sudden, and many people cried out in surprise and shrank back into the crowd.
Yuan Shuo dodged calmly, his fluffy black hair was blown a little messy by the cold wind, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"What are you doing?!" Chen Ting knew that they would go back on their word and would think about other things, so she scolded him and then fought with him with her fists.
She is the head coach and one of the partners of the Sanda Club. With every punch she throws, she not only does not lose the upper hand, but instead seems to be overpowering the opponents.
Being beaten back step by step by a woman, the muscular man even felt that the crowd behind him were laughing at him, and they held back their laughter and looked down on him.
"Crazy woman, you——!"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ting performed a neat mid-air spinning kick, sending him flying several meters away. He kept sliding on the ice and hit the iceberg heavily.
Everyone watched the whole process in amazement, and retreated while swallowing their saliva in fear, fearing that the cold-faced female Rakshasa would stare at them and kick them in the next second.
Killing a chicken to scare the monkey is very effective, and the restless heart was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.
No one came forward to provoke openly, but there were many who secretly watched. Chen Ting lowered her head and rubbed her sore wrist, making a crisp sound when her wrist bone was twisted, and her sharp eyes swept around.
No one dared to look her in the eye.
There was a lot of noise, and many players compared themselves with Yuan Shuo and the other two while watching the fun. Those three must have food and supplies, but they were all stored in the space.
It's normal that you can't find the NPC.
Youtiao, who was standing behind the crowd, also saw the calm and composed Lu Zhi. When he saw her blocking the man in a familiar and natural manner, he glanced at Yuan Shuo.
Judging from the appearance, he is also a burden that will hinder the team.
Youtiao was in a dilemma at the moment. Having two burdens, Lu Zhi and Lu Yao, was already a headache enough. Did she have to take care of a family as well?
Youtiao never thought of another possibility - Lu Zhi rejected his invitation and proposal in a cold voice.
"What?!"
