During the time they were dealing with that strange dinosaur, Mo Shuwan and the others never left the territory of the mutated unicorn dinosaur, so they didn't lose their way back. Whether the muscular man should follow them was not something the two of them had considered.
The muscular man, his face pale, stared silently at the medicine packet Mo Shuwan had given him on the ground. With a cold expression, he picked it up and sprinkled the rest on his wound. Although the pain didn't disappear, the wound visibly began to heal.
The muscular man, who felt obligated to accept the money, stood up, frowned, and asked, "Aren't you going to look for the remaining dinosaur eggs?"
"We'll look for it, but let's go back first."
The danger level of this world has exceeded expectations. If it were just ordinary dinosaurs, the area where the passengers were staying would have been cleared by cannon fire, so there would be no problem in deterring them. But this world is not only home to ordinary dinosaurs, but also to mutated dinosaurs, and even to strange plants that appear and disappear unpredictably.
If we encounter that group of passengers, it will probably be very difficult to handle.
The muscular man frowned as he looked at Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, who had already walked some distance away, and got up to follow them.
Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo didn't say anything either.
After walking for more than two hours, the muscular man, whose wounds had completely healed, finally couldn't help but take the initiative to speak. "I found that nest of dinosaur eggs by accident. I can still find my way from this distance, but I won't be able to find it any further."
Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo both stopped and looked at the muscular man who had stopped five meters away. They smiled and said, "It seems you haven't introduced yourself yet."
"Liu Dongcheng".
Mo Shuwan nodded and turned to continue on their way with Wen Zuo. Liu Dongcheng frowned even more, but in the end he said nothing. He just quietly followed behind with his broadsword, at least five meters behind. It seemed that he was still wary of Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo.
As darkness fell, the marks left by Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo became increasingly difficult to find. Moreover, they didn't know what dangers they might encounter in the dead of night. After discussing for a while, the two decided to rest on the spot and continue their journey when it was light the next morning.
"This egg is really small." Sitting in front of the fire, Mo Shuwan lowered her head and repeatedly examined the mutated dinosaur egg in her hand. "How small must a dinosaur be to lay such a small egg?"
Wen Zuo turned his head and glanced at it, then gently shook his head.
Sitting opposite Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, Liu Dongcheng lowered his head and fiddled with the large knife in his hand. Looking at the long marks left by the knife on the ground, he said in a low voice, "It's not quite right for you to just take away what I worked so hard for."
Wen Zuo stared intently at the sizzling meat roasting over the fire, ignoring Liu Dongcheng's words.
Mo Shuwan smiled and looked away from the mutated dinosaur egg. "Here you go." She then actually tossed the mutated dinosaur egg to Liu Dongcheng.
Liu Dongcheng's pupils contracted slightly. He suddenly reached out and caught the mutated dinosaur egg that Mo Shuwan threw to him. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. He looked at Wen Zuo, who was focused on grilling meat and had no reaction, and pondered for a moment before raising his head to meet Mo Shuwan's smiling eyes. For a moment, he found it difficult to understand Mo Shuwan's thoughts.
Is that all?
Feeling inexplicably uneasy, Liu Dongcheng remained silent and quietly stuffed the mutated dinosaur egg into his pocket.
Mo Shuwan, who noticed Liu Dongcheng's body tensing up, smiled and took two bottles of water from her storage space in a good mood. At the same time, Wen Zuo took the barbecue down and stuck it on the ground to let it cool for a while.
Wen Zuo: Why did you give the egg back to him?
Mo Shuwan: Anyway, the side quest has already been triggered, and we'll be staying here for a long time. I'm not worried about not finding the egg. I feel like he's hiding a lot of things. He said before that he found his 'nest of dinosaur eggs' by accident, but we've all seen these dinosaur eggs. They're only the size of your fist. If there was a whole nest, why did he only take one?
Wen Zuo: Maybe it's because they feel it's inconvenient to carry around.
This is indeed a valid reason, since these new passengers don't have any storage space, and currently only Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo have purchased storage space. Other passengers, including Cai Zhongqi, are so busy accumulating points that they have no spare points to buy storage space, and they haven't even bought a backpack yet.
Mo Shuwan: It doesn't look like it. Let's observe it further.
Wen Zuo: Okay.
The two communicated via text message, and Liu Dongcheng could only watch helplessly, unable to know what they were talking about. To save his life, he tightened his grip on the hilt of his knife and moved his body closer to the giant tree, so that he could hide behind it immediately if Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo showed any signs of harm to him.
Unfortunately, he was overthinking it. Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo were already squatting next to the barbecue, waiting for it to cool down while taking out two bags of potato chips. They each took a bag and ate them with gusto. Liu Dongcheng, who hadn't been able to eat properly all day, couldn't help but swallow hard.
"I used to really hate cucumber-flavored potato chips. I thought the taste was really weird, but my mom loved them. Every time she went to the supermarket, she would buy several bags. Sigh, I used to be a homebody. I would stay home as much as possible, so I usually stayed home during my holidays. One time I went home and there was nothing in the refrigerator except for a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips."
Mo Shuwan munched on potato chips while telling Wen Zuo about her experience of falling in love with cucumber-flavored potato chips.
Wen Zuo listened intently, even stopping his potato chip eating. He glanced down at the flavor of the chips on the packaging, then quietly placed the chips next to Mo Shuwan, wiped his hands, and looked at Mo Shuwan, who was lost in her memories.
Halfway through the conversation, Mo Shuwan noticed that Wen Zuo had stopped eating and asked in surprise, "Don't you like it?"
Wen Zuo smiled and shook his head, wiped the dagger with a tissue, and pointed to the barbecue.
"Then I won't eat them either." After saying that, she put the two bags of potato chips back into her storage space. After all, she had only redeemed a few bags to satisfy her craving, and she could save them for next time.
Unexpectedly, Wen Zuo could only nod helplessly. He asked Mo Shuwan to wash two leaves before testing the temperature of the roasted meat with his finger. At least it wouldn't be too hot to touch. Only then did Wen Zuo begin to cut the meat. He cut it very carefully, and each slice was not thick. Mo Shuwan sprinkled seasoning on the meat from the side.
The irresistible aroma of meat made Liu Dongcheng swallow a few more times.
...
As night fell, the passengers who remained in the ruins huddled together, shivering, and lit a fire. It's no wonder they were timid; after experiencing a series of events that defy scientific explanation, it would be difficult for anyone to remain completely calm, especially since they were all ordinary people, just like you.
"I... I mean, I've been feeling something's off lately. Don't you guys think it's been a bit too quiet here at night?"
"The captain blew this place into ruins, how can it not be quiet?"
The questions raised by the new passengers were not taken seriously by the regular passengers.
