"?" Zhang Jizu's eyes twitched, and he looked at Cheng Shi with a sullen look, "Is it fun?"
"It's not very funny, but if what you say is true, then it's funny."
Cheng Shi smiled brightly and looked at Plott with anticipation, but unfortunately all three sentences he said were lies.
"Okay, the game is over. Keep telling the truth, Master Plott. How do you, an ordinary scavenger, know so many secrets of Wells?"
Seeing that he had finally escaped death, Plott lost his strength and fell to the ground again. He covered his neck and gasped, saying:
“I was slacking off in the snow once… I dug a snow hole and buried myself in the ground, so I could stay warm and not be discovered by others.
It was during that time when I was slacking off that I accidentally heard two people approaching. The voices were so familiar that I immediately recognized one of them as Wells. I had also heard of the other one, who was Yenoli, the leader of the scavengers in the East District.
They... rolled together in the snow not far from me, and brought up this plan during the fight. Wells told Yenoli confidently that he had a new plan and it was already in the final stage, and hoped that Yenoli could help him.
I heard it clearly, so from then on I never dared to appear in front of Wells's house casually, for fear that my unnatural behavior would arouse his suspicion...
That's it, I didn't lie, they told me the exact location, and I know the whole area well..."
"Why are you so familiar with this place? You don't look like an old scavenger." Zhang Jizu asked with narrowed eyes.
"Because I... often slack off in various places, and finding the right place is what I am good at. Over time..."
"......" Cheng Shishi couldn't help laughing out loud, "See, laziness is the first motivation to improve work efficiency.
Yes, you did a good job, but I still have a question, does this Wells always approach men like this?"
This sentence stunned Plott. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out when Wells, a hesitant man, had ever faced up to the challenge.
Seeing that the other party was confused, the three of them shook their heads and laughed.
Sure enough, the NPC didn’t understand the fun of puns at all.
"Don't just stand there, Mr. Plott. Take us down to have a look. I want to see what treasures Wells found in this garbage dump."
...
At the same time, on the other side, Wells' southern stronghold welcomed another guest, but this guest approached slowly and concealed his body, without alarming anyone.
He saw many people fighting for things in a warm house, groups of scavengers confronting and cursing each other in front of the house, and scattered people running around holding some food. There was even a frozen body lying in front of the house...
Order has clearly broken down here.
The man frowned and walked along an unnoticed path directly to the barbed wire. Feeling the boiling mist inside the barbed wire, he was slightly stunned.
"smoke?
Why does the dark grey mist rolling in this fog look so much like smoke?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's ears twitched and his expression tensed. He suddenly moved his feet, reached his hand through a small hole under the barbed wire, and directly pulled out a naked young man buried under the snow and mud.
The young man was skinny and stiff, almost dying of hypothermia. The visitor seemed to smell some kind of conspiracy in this man, so he took out a bottle of medicine and poured it into the young man's mouth, pulling him back from the brink of death.
When the young man opened his eyes, his first reaction was that his pupils trembled violently and he stepped back in horror.
The visitor was stunned and asked thoughtfully: "Who are you?"
The young man was extremely frightened and cried, "I have told you everything you asked. Please don't kill me, I beg you. I can leave."
"I asked who you are."
"My name is Plott, and I'm a scavenger."
"Plot?" The man frowned. "Who buried you here?"
After hearing this, the scavenger suddenly rushed backwards like a frightened animal. Despite his thin body, he was quite fast. The man's reaction was even faster. He stretched out his arm like rubber, almost two arm spans away, and caught the fleeing scavenger in one go.
Seeing that he couldn't escape at all, the scavenger lost all hope and said resignedly:
"It's you! You're the one who tortured me, knocked me out, and buried me! Let me go, I don't know anything! I confessed everything!"
The visitor raised an eyebrow without being too surprised, took off the hood of his windbreaker, and revealed a face in the blizzard...
Cheng Shi’s face.
"That's interesting. Which me are you talking about?"
...
