"Chen Yumei, I didn't let her join our team." Zhong Xiang blushed after being ridiculed by the woman, but he still explained.
"No? You asked her to come with us so that she could join the team, right? Come on, Zhong Xiang, don't you even know where you are? This is the wilderness, not your backyard. We're a group of level 8 or 9 martial artists, and you expect us to bring along a level 6 one? Have you lost your mind?"
Chen Yumei was furious. She crossed her arms and sarcastically berated Zhong Xiang.
"What can a level six martial artist do? If we encounter a monster, she probably won't even have a chance to escape. If you let her come with us, aren't you just deliberately making her a burden to us?"
After Chen Yumei finished speaking, she gave Longyue a gloomy look.
“What Yu Mei said makes sense, Zhong Xiang. Just listen to her. Think about our mission; it might be much more dangerous for us than for her to be here alone.”
The person standing next to Zhong Xiang whispered words of advice, then glanced at Long Yue without showing any emotion, shook his head regretfully, and sighed, "How could such a pretty little girl get lost like that?" Unfortunately, they were powerless to help.
In fact, everyone is living in the apocalypse and can barely take care of themselves, so who has the mind to care about others?
“But…” Zhong Xiang looked at Long Yue, “It’s not appropriate to leave such a little girl here, the wilderness is so dangerous…”
Zhong Xiang hesitated. He knew that Chen Yumei's words were not without reason, but he couldn't bear to watch people die.
In his view, the wilderness was dangerous, with few low-level monsters, mostly DE and F-rank monsters. If she encountered just one, she might lose her life there.
"Hey bro, this is the apocalypse, not the peaceful times in history books. Stop being so kind. Have you forgotten? Your mom's still waiting for you in the slums to give her money for medicine."
"Besides, she's only a level six martial artist. If she comes with us, she'll really be a burden. You don't want any of us to die trying to save her, do you?"
The speaker looked helpless. Actually, Zhong Xiang was good in every way, except for this one thing: his eyesight wasn't very good. If he wanted to recruit an eighth-level or ninth-level martial artist, I guess no one would refuse.
But he had to say that to a level six martial artist. Even if the person was good-looking, good looks can't put food on the table!
Now, only strength matters; everything else is meaningless. Only strength can save your life!
Zhong Xiang's family was not well-off. His mother was frail and, due to her physical condition, she barely managed to break through to become a first-level martial artist, and it was estimated that this would be her life's goal.
With no money, she made a living by doing odd jobs for others and barely managed to raise Zhongxiang. Zhongxiang was somewhat talented, and over the years he worked on various battlefields, taking on missions and earning rewards, all of which went to his mother.
Therefore, as long as you say that, Zhongxiang will definitely compromise.
"Zhong Xiang, are you coming or not? If you don't want to leave, then leave the group yourself!" Chen Yumei hated Zhong Xiang's attitude and spoke with impatience.
“Let’s go…” Zhong Xiang was deflated for a moment, his eyes looking somewhat lost. Why couldn’t everyone help each other?
Looking at Zhong Xiang like this, Chen Yumei really wanted to slap him on the head; he was such an idiot.
Zhong Xiang glanced at Long Yue and sighed. Indeed, she was barely able to protect herself.
Thinking it over, he took out some water and food from his computer space and ran towards Oborozuki.
"Hey little girl, the jungle is dangerous. You'd better find a team to play with quickly. I'm sorry, I can't let you be on our team."
Zhong Xiang said apologetically.
After saying that, he ran back, afraid of seeing the little girl's disappointed expression, which would make him feel even more guilty.
"Ha, you're so kind, sharing your food with her. Don't come looking for us to borrow food when you're out of food yourself," Chen Yumei said with even more sarcasm, her chin raised and her nostrils pointing to the sky.
Zhong Xiang didn't speak and continued walking without uttering a word.
Hazy Moon:......
Longyue, who witnessed and heard everything clearly, wanted to say no, but Zhongxiang ran too fast, and he was gone before she could even speak.
Picking up the water and dry rations from the ground, the group had already gone far away. They were moving very fast, probably rushing to complete their mission.
But he couldn't leave yet. He pulled up his trouser legs and saw two rings on his legs, which were leg braces. Each ring weighed about 50 kilograms, so two rings would weigh 100 kilograms.
From today onwards, she will be training with her foot braces on.
Longyue stored the food in her computer space and made a note of the person from earlier.
"I didn't realize you were so popular." Jiang Fa stepped on the stone and crushed it into gravel with a forceful stomp.
"Okay, let's continue!" Standing up, ignoring the pain in her soles, Oborozuki's expression remained unchanged.
Jiang Fa looked at the little girl in front of him with great interest. She was not even as tall as his shoulder. He just couldn't understand how she could have such a similar aura to him at such a young age.
Actually, there are quite a few people with similar talents to her, but he's just interested in her. It's that captivating aura of kindred spirits. How does she manage to hide that aura so well? I'm curious!
"No, I'm tired after flying all morning."
Finding a shady spot with broken walls as cover, Jiang Fa sat down with great nonchalance.
Then, he immediately jumped up!
Tired from flying, Oborozuki chuckled.
The daytime sun was really scorching. Longyue's fair skin was already showing faint signs of tanning, especially the parts below her neck that were covered by her clothes, as well as her hands and arms, where a dividing line was beginning to appear.
