When Lin Sanjiu dodged and hid in the shadow, a path opened in front of the stone wall in the distance, and a figure stumbled out - the figure was holding a short black stick-shaped shadow in his hand, which seemed to be
The flashlight that suddenly lit up for a moment was immediately extinguished.
The sound of heavy and rapid breathing, as if the man's chest was about to be torn apart, could be heard clearly from dozens of meters away.
The figure tentatively raised the flashlight, but after hesitating for a moment, he still did not turn on the light. He just took two steps forward when a hand suddenly stretched out from behind him and grabbed his collar.
"Don't go!" another female voice shouted in a low voice.
The black figure gasped and said nothing.
"There is no one on this road at all," the woman said hurriedly, "That must have been some kind of trick!"
The black shadow bent down, put his hands on his knees, took a moment to catch his breath at the intersection, and whispered: "No...it can't be right? I've seen that kind of white paper crane, used by evolved humans..."
"Who hasn't seen it?" The female voice behind the corner immediately interrupted him, "But have you ever thought that those who use paper cranes may not necessarily be evolved people-"
The night was silent, and the two people's deliberately suppressed arguments were as clear as if they had an amplification effect; they didn't seem to realize that even if they spoke softly, it would be useless to most of the creatures here.
Under the shadow of a piece of barbed wire protruding diagonally at forty-five corners at the top of the wall, Lin Sanjiu listened motionless and held her breath.
"Who else could it be?" The man holding the flashlight was desperate and excited, his voice trembling: "Can people like you and me afford paper cranes? It's even less possible to have those 'things' we raise.
…”
"What are the evolved people doing here?" The woman seemed to have finally lost her patience and lost her temper: "If you want to go there, you can go, I won't accompany you to death!"
This sentence made the man hesitate again. He stood alone at the intersection under the night for a while, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and finally made up his mind to turn around and go back from the original road - and the conversation just now
In contrast, it was his withdrawal that made Lin Sanjiu trust him a little.
"Wait a minute," she whispered, "are you ordinary people?"
The man's shadow froze for a moment - it's funny to say that it was originally his idea to come here to find someone, but when he heard Lin Sanjiu's voice, he was startled and rushed behind the corner.
; On the contrary, the woman did not follow him and replied hesitantly: "...You, who are you? Don't come over, we have weapons!"
"Why would ordinary people come here?" Lin Sanjiu ignored her threat and walked gently towards the corner: "What did you encounter?"
The man's vague words of "Let's go" were blown away by the wind, but no footsteps were heard for a while. The woman hid behind the wall and said warily: "Are you an evolved person?"
"yes."
Ordinary people in the Twelve Worlds always call them evolved "people", as if their evolved people belong to a branch other than human beings.
The woman took a loud breath from her throat and glanced slightly. She must have thought that she was moving very quickly, but in Lin Sanjiu's eyes, it was as sluggish as a rhinoceros trying to wake up from its nap.
"Of course you don't know... Of course you don't know anything." Her voice was soaked in bitterness, filled with sarcasm and anger, and she was intermittently unable to control herself: "You just come and go, asking for this and that, without even looking at it.
Let’s take a look…”
"Stop saying it's useless," the man tried to dissuade him.
"Anyway, we are just like dregs of medicine." The woman became angry for a moment and her voice became shrill: "I paved roads for you, built houses, farmed land, gave birth to children... In the end, if we have no value, we will be thrown here.
I don’t know how we were killed. What a coincidence, I don’t know how I’m going to die either!”
"Shut up!" The man finally couldn't bear it anymore. After a rustle of clothes and a sound of body collisions, he seemed to pull away from the woman and hurriedly walked out from behind the wall, but he was still wary and did not dare to approach Lin Sanjiu.
: "I'm sorry, don't listen to her! We almost died once. Please save us! We will definitely pay back the money, we will definitely..."
Using the dim light that was imperceptible at night, he bent deeply in the direction of Lin Sanjiu.
"Did you get arrested because you owed money?" Lin Sanjiu asked in disbelief.
"If we don't pay back the money we owe, we will become the creditor's property." The man straightened up and wiped his face, as if he was extremely tired: "It's a pity that we are not worth much, so we were sold here...
…”
"If I were younger," the woman laughed coldly, but without any hint of smile, "I could barely survive as a prostitute sleeping with men."
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt that she had just started complaining about her unlucky fate because she accidentally entered the maze, just like a spoiled child.
"But I don't understand one thing." She frowned, "What do they want you ordinary people to do?"
Being attacked by a fallen species cannot turn a person into a fallen species - only zombies on TV have this ability.
However, the voices of the two men dropped vaguely, and it was obvious that they did not know the exact reason.
"Who else besides you?"
"I also saw a few children and a woman..." The man still couldn't hide his disappointment when he said this: "But there was no man with any strength."
Lin Sanjiu was about to speak, but was suddenly startled.
Child?
"Is there a little girl?" When she came to her senses, the question had already blurted out. "About this high...?"
"It seems so," the man immediately misunderstood her meaning: "Are you here to find someone? That's why you are here?"
The woman's voice was trembling with hope: "Then you must know the way out?"
Lin Sanjiu cursed secretly, without hesitation, took out a roll of rope and threw it towards the two of them: "Go on!"
The man was startled and hurriedly hugged the rope, only to realize that the other end was still in Lin Sanjiu's hand.
"Don't move. I'll hold the rope so you won't get lost again." She said as she tied the rope to her belt buckle and tied it in a knot.
The two people on the other side were a little anxious and asked quickly: "Where are you going? Please, don't leave us. It's too dangerous here..."
"Once there is a creature approaching you, I will know it immediately. You will not be in danger." Lin Sanjiu kept turning on Pure Touch at this time, even though it would put a lot of burden on her physical strength. Her voice was tight.
He Shen said again: "I have to rush back now - because I just probably sent a little girl to her death."
I’ve been running all day today and I’m really tired. I’ll post the thank you list tomorrow. I’m going to go to bed after reading a book...
