Wen Zuo and Mo Shuwan exchanged a glance before looking away. Mo Shuwan followed his gaze and saw that there were still many people lying around, each with bloodstains on their bodies, which was enough to show that everyone had encountered danger before.
Mo Shuwan gave Cai Zhongqi a light kick to the leg.
"Ah! My leg, my leg is broken!"
Seeing Cai Zhongqi crying and wailing while clutching his legs, Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo made no further move. The passengers lying next to them also woke up to his wailing and howling, and then they also howled. After venting their fear, they noticed that they had no wounds on their bodies.
"What, what's going on? My hand was clearly eaten by a plant!" The new passenger stared blankly at his hand.
"My legs too, I clearly..."
The passengers looked at each other, unwilling to recall the terrifying experience. They looked at the bloodstains on their bodies, unable to convince themselves that it was just a dream.
While most people were wondering why they were still alive, Mo Shuwan counted the number of people. Of the more than thirty people, only twenty remained. Moreover, Qi Hao and another old passenger were missing. A sense of sadness spread through her heart, but she thought more about the possibility that they had been abandoned somewhere else.
"It's dawn! Ah!!! Finally, it's not completely dark anymore!!!"
Amidst excited screams, everyone's attention shifted to the clear sky, and tears of joy welled up in their eyes.
"Captain, what... what happened to us?" Cai Zhongqi was still immersed in the fear of his recent 'death' and turned to look at Mo Shuwan.
Mo Shuwan pulled herself together from her chaotic thoughts and glanced at the passengers looking over. "As you can see, we've been rescued. Our rescuers were... a woman and a ball." She tried to find the right words, but found that all she could remember was the woman's long, black hair. The features she had clearly seen with her own eyes were now completely blurry.
I can't remember what he/she looked like.
Despite her best efforts to recall, everything remained a blur. Mo Shuwan gave up and recounted the conversation she had overheard before losing consciousness, asking, "What are your thoughts?"
After listening, Wen Zuo started writing on the ground.
So the world has been dark these past two days, and the recent strange events were all caused by her losing her temper?
“…I’m afraid so.” Mo Shuwan thought for a moment, then said helplessly, “Before I lost consciousness, I felt that she was very impatient with saving me, and the name I couldn’t hear was probably automatically muted, rather than me not hearing it clearly.”
The surrounding passengers immediately tensed up. "What if she throws another tantrum? Won't we have to go through it all again?!"
Even though most people were rescued this time, fourteen people are still missing. It is unknown whether they were dumped somewhere else or have perished. Moreover, no one can guarantee that the mysterious woman will come to rescue people again next time.
A sense of powerlessness washed over them in the panic. This being, who could almost destroy a world with a mere outburst of temper, was someone they couldn't possibly contend with.
—If you read that right, she was very impatient in saving people, which means she had a compelling reason to do so, so we should be safe for now.
Mo Shuwan nodded in agreement, "Yes, it should be fine now."
It took half a day to confirm that it was indeed safe. All the monsters that had suddenly appeared had vanished without a trace, leaving no trace of their existence on the ground. If it weren't for the side quest that had been triggered on her phone, Mo Shuwan wouldn't have been sure that countless monsters had suddenly appeared.
No one dared to discuss the mysterious woman anymore. With such great abilities, what if she could hear them talking from a very, very far away, get annoyed, and then come back to wipe them out? They would truly regret it.
It was evening, and after searching the surrounding area without finding Qi Hao and the others, the group found a place to settle down.
Fang Min: Are you still alive?
Mo Shuwan couldn't help but chuckle and typed a reply.
Mo Shuwan: This question seems very familiar.
Fang Min: Hehe, you're really lucky. You survived such a huge commotion.
Mo Shuwan:
Fang Min was probably speechless and didn't reply to the message immediately. Mo Shuwan didn't mind and turned to Wen Zuo to continue talking about the side quest that had been triggered on her phone.
"Slay the maggots...this task..."
Wen Zuo searched through the densely packed side quests on the back of his hand. After scanning all the quests, he couldn't help but smile, his eyes full of joy. Under Mo Shuwan's gaze, he picked up the tree branch.
—I didn't have that task. Well, luckily, I didn't encounter any maggots.
"...I ran into it."
Goosebumps immediately rose on her body, and Mo Shuwan tried her best to salvage the situation, saying, "We should think of it this way: this world is not a normal world to begin with, and these insects are probably not what we imagine."
Wen Zuo stopped writing and sat to the side, smiling.
Wen Zuo's features are on the gentler side, and his smile is like a spring breeze. However, he has rarely smiled these days and has to keep a straight face to intimidate some passengers.
Mo Shuwan glanced at him and thought: Seeing how handsome your smile is, I... I won't say anything.
My phone chimed.
Fang Min: I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. We all know what happened just now. Since we all barely survived, how about we talk about cooperation? After all, nobody knows if that turmoil will happen again.
"Fang Min wants to cooperate with us," he replied, uttering four words.
Fang Min replied to the message very quickly this time.
Fang Min: Let's meet face-to-face first and discuss the cooperation in person.
That's not appropriate.
Mo Shuwan looked up at the passengers who were huddled together resting, and sighed helplessly, "Let's test the waters first. If we can cooperate, at least it will be safer."
Wen Zuo nodded.
Mo Shuwan then began to probe Fang Min's side, and eventually learned that there were still sixteen people alive on Fang Min's side.
Although it seemed like they had won in terms of numbers, Mo Shuwan felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her heart.
"I asked tactfully, and they said that all the passengers on their side had cell phones, and that they had all experienced at least two mission worlds."
Wen Zuo's brows furrowed as well.
The other passengers who were still awake and heard this were very excited. "Isn't that perfect? They are so capable. As long as we act with them, we will be much safer. Captain, don't hesitate, just agree."
Mo Shuwan didn't speak, frowned and pondered for a long time, then sent Fang Min a message saying "I'll think about it" and turned off her phone.
After a silent discussion with Wen Zuo, Mo Shuwan sighed and said to the passenger who had spoken earlier, "Wake up everyone else."
The passenger thought Mo Shuwan had made up her mind, and immediately shook everyone around her awake with joy, shouting excitedly, "Everyone wake up, the captain has something to announce." He was quite sensible and didn't announce the 'good news' himself; the limelight should be given to the captain.
Mo Shuwan ignored his ingratiating gaze. "I do have something to say."
