Chapter 29
There is an obvious inconsistency in their statements.
However, although the librarian jumped out to deny it, which ghost would admit that he is a ghost?
In comparison, Lu Jiamu, who looks innocent, is more credible.
Lu Jiamu immediately added: "The teacher's eyes are very useful and can see very far. We have come this far thanks to the teacher."
Those adults are not only timid, but also very suspicious. Any slight disturbance will be regarded as a possible time bomb.
Although Lu Jiamu's subsequent words dispelled their thoughts of killing the librarian immediately, they no longer dared to trust the librarian too much and automatically blocked the option of relying on this pair of eyes in the future.
"Well..." One of the women hesitated and spoke half-tentatively and half-instructively, "It's good to be loyal, but it's best not to be too naive in this world. Right?"
Lu Jiamu, who had already completed the separation, pretended not to understand and just nodded: "Right?"
After tricking the librarian, he said, "If you need us to lead the way, you need to give us some more compressed biscuits."
The gunman sneered, "Who told you we need you to lead the way? We have our own map."
Lu Jiamu realized that he was just being stubborn and shook his head: "The longer you delay, the lower the chances of you encountering other survivors."
The man fell silent. They did have a map, but it wasn't accurate enough.
Another person said, "It's okay to give you some food, but you have to help us fill up the water first."
Lu Jiamu nodded and bargained: "Okay. But you need to give each of us another can of meat. We can only go get water after we finish eating."
The people on the opposite side discussed it for a moment and then expressed their agreement.
Their food was relatively abundant; their main problems were lack of water and getting lost.
The gunman walked to a truck parked not far away and took out a stack of canned food and biscuits.
Lu Jiamu distributed canned food and biscuits to other children.
A group of children ate canned food with compressed biscuits. It was the first time they had eaten so much in so many days.
During the meal, the adults exchanged some information with them.
It turned out that those people came from a small base close to the campus, which was also suddenly destroyed a few days ago.
The survivors tried to take refuge on the campus, but unexpectedly they witnessed the collapse of the campus, which made them feel desperate and began to become neurotic.
After eating, the children had to consider the problem of fetching water.
The adults had already taken out all the empty kettles.
With so many kettles, no one would be willing to catch them all by themselves. And now no one could tell whether the fish waiting on the shore was the strange fish from last time, or something even more terrifying.
Wang Biao stared at the other four children, obviously wanting them to go.
The four kids knew that they had a good relationship and were a team. I didn't have any special skills, and it was Lu Jiamu who went to fetch water last time.
The kids had no choice but to accept it and started to allocate the order for fetching water among themselves.
They soon came up with the result. The first child took two pots and walked towards the water trembling.
As soon as he squatted down on the shore, he saw a humanoid monster covered with hair quietly rising from the water.
In the blink of an eye, the wet hair had entangled the child's waist.
Just as the child was about to respond, a stuttering voice suddenly rang out from the depths of the black fog: "Why is there... a dispute?"
This inexplicable sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The sound was somewhat harsh and hoarse, not pleasant to hear, and it was strange that it sounded suddenly, but the adults who were on high alert did not neurotically pull out their guns and shoot.
Lu Jiamu noticed something was wrong and looked at them strangely.
The child at the water's edge suddenly didn't want to run away. The water ghost in the water suddenly became powerless, and the hair wrapped around the child's waist slowly fell off, and it quietly sank back into the water.
It's like being hypnotized.
Lu Jiamu's emotions have always been basically stable, with little ups and downs, so he was not affected too much.
He observed for a moment, then reached out and patted the people around him.
Several people were startled and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and became alert before the impact became more serious.
The fog seemed to be pushed aside by a hand, and a small figure walked out of the black fog little by little.
Judging from its appearance alone, it was a small mummy wrapped in old bandages, with some yellow-brown stains on the bandages.
In the library, the teacher turned around in the iron box, glanced at the little mummy, and then his eyes suddenly became bloodshot: "It hurts my eyes! It hurts--"
He suddenly stopped shouting halfway.
Seeing that he looked like he was about to explode, Lu Jiamu reached out and helped him change direction.
The little mummy ignored the librarian and scanned them with the only exposed eye, then asked with difficulty: "Do you want... water?"
"right."
The little mummy staggered over, picked up the kettle that was thrown on the ground with his bandaged hands, and then walked to the lake to collect water from everyone.
The little mummy's actions did not have any malicious intent and were actually helping them, which undoubtedly won the favor of the adults.
The little mummy asked intermittently: "Where... do you want to go?"
A woman answered: "We want to go to the principal's building."
The little mummy nodded and said, "I want to go there too. Take me with you."
Such a strange and abnormal thing did not arouse the slightest vigilance of those adults.
After discussing it for a while, they actually agreed: "Okay."
Lu Jiamu watched their interaction quietly without saying anything to remind them.
Although this little mummy is really strange, it seems to have some ability, at least it can hypnotize ghosts. And it doesn't have any malicious intentions at the moment.
Take it with you, maybe the journey will be a lot easier.
The water bottles were filled and the six adults began to pack up their equipment and prepare to set off.
A child asked, "Why not wait until daytime?"
Those people sneered: "What's the difference between day and night now?"
Lu Jiamu noticed that they were not putting resources into the truck but taking them out, so he asked, "Not driving?"
The man on the other end shook his head: "We're running out of gas."
The little mummy rolled his eyes and said intermittently: "I'll... get it for you."
After it finished speaking, it walked lightly into the thick black fog.
Only fifteen minutes later, it came back carrying two white gasoline barrels.
This move once again captured the hearts of several adults.
One woman even said, "You are so cute."
After the little mummy handed them the gasoline barrel, he stood there quietly, without any response to their words.
After finishing their packing and filling up the car with gas, they set off.
Lu Jiamu was placed in the passenger seat to show the way, while the others sat in the back.
With the car, they traveled much faster.
But after driving for a while, Lu Jiamu always felt that there was a pair of eyes lingering on him from time to time from behind, which was quite difficult to ignore.
It can't be said to be hot, but there is a sticky malice flowing in it.
Lu Jiamu moved slightly and looked back through the rearview mirror.
He saw the little mummy sitting behind him, staring at him with its one eye.
Lu Jiamu took a look and then quietly looked away without making any expression.
