Before they even started, the others behind them were all immobilized.
Everyone panicked immediately. What happened? Why couldn't they move their hands and feet? Only their heads could move. This was terrifying!
Humans have an instinctive fear of the unknown, especially when they are conscious. They can't win a fight, and they can run away, but for some reason they can't. They can only watch helplessly as danger gets closer and closer. That heart-pounding feeling is terrifying!
The eight people were so frightened they were about to cry for their parents. They had lived most of their lives and had never encountered anything like this before!
People have heard that there are strange things in this wasteland, and that spirits often appear. They didn't believe it before, but now they do. It seems a little too late!
But the sun is high in the sky, scorching hot, and it's not even night yet, so why can spirits appear?
Aren't spirits usually active at night? They're all afraid of sunlight, so why aren't these three afraid?
Why?
Can anyone tell them?
If I'd known, they wouldn't have chosen this location. It's all the skinny guy's fault for saying this place was remote and no one came here, making it easier for them to move around. Anyway, there's no one around, so they can just rob and leave. Who knows who it is!
It's too late to say anything now, they can't move. They can only hope that the monsters will show mercy and not eat them alive!
Su Nanxi watched their expressions change with great interest, remaining silent. She walked over, figuring they couldn't move anyway, so they couldn't do anything to her. Even if they could move, she could make them immobile immediately!
Let's appreciate these memes first, and then we'll figure out what to do.
Mo Qinghe was worried that those people would attack Su Nanxi, so he followed Su Nanxi and took a closer look, but he wasn't very interested. They were all men, what was there to see? They were ugly and cowardly!
hehe!
They actually dared to rob people! Is that all they've got? They should take a good look at themselves in the mirror before going out. They have no self-awareness and yet they dare to be so arrogant!
You're really not afraid of being laughed at!
Even if you borrowed ten more lives from the heavens, it still wouldn't be enough!
Seeing that no one was moving, Old Lady Mo gradually calmed down and became less afraid. However, she began to worry about Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe. How could these two run into someone's midst? What if the person suddenly regained their mobility? Wouldn't they be slashed at by someone?
So, my heart, which had just been at ease, started to pound again. Oh dear, this is so nerve-wracking!
After thinking for a while, she moved closer to the burly man at the head of the group. After staring at him for a long time and seeing that he really couldn't move, she finally mustered up the courage to walk forward.
When the burly man saw Old Lady Mo approaching, he didn't dare to breathe heavily, for fear that a single breath would frighten her and she would stab him!
Although he had a knife, his hand wouldn't obey him. If the old lady took the knife away, she could easily slash him, leaving him no chance to resist. It was so tragic!
It's best not to provoke anyone. They're at a disadvantage right now, like fish on a chopping board. We need to be pragmatic. Robbery and such are no longer important. Survival is the priority!
Thankfully, the old lady left. Suddenly, I felt a chilly wind blow from behind me!
How terrifying!
In broad daylight, they must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out. They ran into a formidable opponent and were wiped out before they even actually started the robbery!
When Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe saw that Old Master Mo had arrived, they realized something was wrong. They had forgotten about him. Oh no! If someone could move, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Both of them were still a little scared, so they went to Old Lady Mo's side. They couldn't let her go out alone. When you're out in the world, you have to stick together!
Exposing your back to the enemy is a fatal mistake!
It is foolish to reveal your weaknesses to the enemy!
Even if everything is foolproof, it's still best not to give the enemy any chance!
There's a saying that goes something like this: "Even in the most desperate situations, there's always a chance of survival." No one can predict whether there will be a chance of survival in the most dire circumstances!
"Tell me the truth, what did you do before? Why did you end up on this path? Don't try anything funny, I don't have time to waste with you. If you dare to lie, you'll be staying here for a few days!"
Su Nanxi glanced around, then stood in the middle of the group and spoke seriously.
Those people started using their unique eye contact communication method again, but unfortunately, this time the communication took a long time to reach a conclusion. They were probably flustered, and their eyesight was not working properly, so the information was not being transmitted accurately and there were errors. They could not reach a consensus for a long time.
Finally, the burly man at the front spoke up. He was carrying the people behind him and couldn't see what was behind him, so he couldn't make eye contact with his companions. When there was no movement from behind for a long time, he became more and more panicked, so he acted according to his own guess.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! We're not bandits! We're just peasants, and we didn't want to do this kind of work. We were just so hungry, we had nothing to eat, and we couldn't take it anymore, so we wanted to find something to fill our stomachs! I'm telling the truth. This is our first time doing this, we have no experience, and we don't know how to rob! You guys are the first group of people we've been waiting for for ages, and we haven't even gotten anything yet!"
The burly man looked strong, but he was actually quite simple-minded, speaking in a hoarse and uncouth manner.
Su Nanxi almost laughed. They actually chose this guy as the leader. He doesn't seem reliable at all. He's just a big guy, but he's not very bright!
Mo Qinghe asked coldly, "The harvest was just finished not long ago, how come there's nothing to eat? Where is your village? Did you have no harvest at all?"
The group exchanged glances for a while before one of them spoke up, “Our village has a lot of mountains and little farmland. This year has been particularly dry, with no water at all. Our harvest is meager, but there are over a dozen of us in our families. It’s not enough to feed us! We’ve run out of food in no time and are searching everywhere for something to eat, but it’s not that easy to find! We’ve been starving for a long time, for many days, and haven’t had a full meal! We had no choice but to rob someone!”
Su Nanxi sneered, "This mountain forest is so big, we can find wild fruits and other things to eat. There's no place where we won't find food! I see there are quite a few wild vegetables too. We can dig some up and feed our whole family! Stop with this talk of having no other choice!"
Grandma Mo also carefully observed the surrounding environment. Indeed, this mountain forest was probably sparsely populated and maintained a rather primitive state. Wild vegetables and fruits could be seen everywhere. Such good things, how come no one knew to bring them back to eat!
What a pity!
If this were in Changna Village, the villagers would have already plundered it all; there wouldn't be anything left for anyone!
You really don't know anything about food!
The men looked rather grim, hesitated to speak, and their eyes flickered several times.
The man, who was as thin as a monkey, said, "You don't understand, we can't go there! I've heard there are spirits and monsters in this area, and people can't disturb them!"
"Oh! Are spirits and monsters more terrifying than starving to death?"
