"How about this, we find a monster to test the fruit's effects?"
"Look around you."
Chen Jiaxu subconsciously looked around following Luo Baokun's words, then scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly and muttered, "Maybe there are more further away."
"Even if they were, their souls and bodies weren't separated. And even if they were separated, it wasn't that guy who did it. So, you should put that idea aside for now."
Since the sinners summoned by Mo Shuwan left, no monsters have appeared around them. At first, they remained vigilant, but gradually, because it was too comfortable, they all relaxed.
Mo Shuwan squatted in front of the washbasin with her head down, pointing to the area above her left ear, "There's still water here that hasn't gotten on me."
Wen Zuo then scooped up a glass of water, covered her ears with his hand, and poured the water down her throat. He squeezed some shampoo into his hands, rubbed them together, and then placed his hands on Mo Shuwan's head. Feeling his palms being pricked a few times, he couldn't help but laugh, "Your hair is prickly even more than mine now."
"It's convenient. If I had long hair now, it would take you ages to wash it. I'm thinking of you."
Wen Zuo was taken aback for a moment, then said helplessly, "Then I have to thank you properly."
"Don't mention it, it's my pleasure."
grumble--
Seeing Hope's head poking towards her, Mo Shuwan quickly reached out and pushed it aside. "It can't drink. Chen Jiaxu, help get Hope some water from the stratosphere."
Chen Jiaxu, who was squeezing next to Luo Baokun and studying the fruit with them, got up and ran to Mo Shuwan's side. Seeing the foul-smelling water in the basin, he looked incredulous. "Captain, what have you been doing over there?"
“I fell into the stinky ditch.” Mo Shuwan said, pulling her clothes to keep them dry. “Wen Zuo, do you remember our other three cards?”
"I remember, they were all just names."
“Yesterday, during the crisis, I threw out a card called ‘Deep in the Black Hole.’ At the time, the situation was too urgent, so I didn’t examine it closely. But now that I’ve thought about it, I feel that the events of yesterday are somewhat related to that card.” As she said this, her face furrowed deeply.
"Is this change good or bad for us now?"
Wen Zuo remained silent for a moment before gently shaking his head. "We'll only know after it happens."
They had no idea what kind of door that card had opened, nor did they know that several people emerging from that door were approaching them.
After washing her hair, Mo Shuwan also helped Wen Zuo wash his hair. There were no living creatures around, and not even a single strange fruit could be seen. It wasn't because they had looted too much, but because there really was nothing here.
Zheng Shanhe woke up half an hour later. He was still not in good condition, but his complexion seemed to be a little better than before.
"Want some?"
"Uh... thank you."
Mo Shuwan handed the water to Zheng Shanhe and watched him drink it with difficulty before asking, "What is teleportation? Are those black crystals the ones we have? As long as we have black crystals and learn to draw the kind of picture you drew, we can teleport to any place we want to go?"
Zheng Shanhe helplessly put the bottle cap back on. "These are the crystals you're holding, but you can't learn how to set up teleportation arrays. Setting up a teleportation array requires a specific bloodline, which you can't do."
Mo Shuwan nodded. What she really wanted to ask wasn't that, "Who exactly are you?"
"I am Zheng Shanhe."
Hearing this answer, it was clear that Zheng Shanhe really didn't intend to say anything more. Zou Zhiqing, who was still studying the fruit, also temporarily put down what she was doing when she heard their conversation. "There are many things we can indeed choose not to ask, but as you have seen, the dangers we are facing now are beyond our comprehension. And given your own situation, telling us more will improve the safety of all of us."
“I’ve already said that knowing too much won’t do you any good.” Zheng Shanhe finished speaking and used his smaller cane to sit up. “However, I can tell you that the enemy we are facing now is the enemy of all of us. It’s a life-or-death struggle between us.”
"What do you mean by 'warriors selected from one side'? Is there a war happening in a place we don't know about? And is that war that could very well affect our world?"
Zheng Shanhe turned to look at Mo Shuwan, feeling helpless. She was right, but he couldn't admit it or refute it, so he could only remain silent.
Wen Zuo sighed, "It seems so."
"...That's why we risk our lives in world after world, just to select the strongest warriors to participate in the battle?"
Zheng Shanhe remained silent.
Chen Jiaxu stared at Zheng Shanhe in shock, and after a long while, he suddenly swore, "I thought we were just unlucky to be selected, and that one day we might be lucky enough to leave the bus. Now, even if we leave the bus, we still have to participate in some kind of damn war. Can't I just quit?"
Boom——
Mo Shuwan, feeling slightly down, turned her head and saw Yun Chen feeding Hope and Stratosphere crystals one by one. She couldn't help but facepalm, but since she had observed the two little dinosaurs and they were indeed fine, she let them be.
Suddenly, Yun Chen looked into the distance, frowned, and said, "A powerful enemy is coming."
"Is it a monster?"
Being called a formidable enemy by Yun Chen, everyone had no choice but to be on high alert. Even Zheng Shanhe hurriedly drew another wheelchair for himself, but his expression visibly worsened.
