"What did you say?"
Qi Xia suddenly widened his eyes.
"You said you have seen... someone escape from here?"
"That is right."
Zhang Shan nodded.
"But strictly speaking... we only found that person's notes."
"This..."
Qi Xia felt this matter was a bit bizarre.
"You only found the notes, and you concluded that the person escaped from here?"
Zhang Shan smiled and nodded, saying to Qi Xia, "Brother, let me make things clear first. If you want to join us, we can share this information with you. But right now... whether you believe it or not, I am done talking."
Qi Xia roughly understood Zhang Shan's meaning, but he really could not deduce whether the other party was telling the truth or a lie. At this time, a slightly plump girl heard Zhang Shan's words, leaned closer, and asked, "Brother... are you still recruiting people? I can do anything..."
Zhang Shan looked at this girl, smiled and said, "Girl, it is not that I do not want to accept you, but our goal is to beat all the games. Do you have the determination to face the upcoming dangers?"
The slightly plump girl silently lowered her head after hearing this, thought for a while, and then opened her mouth to say, "I can."
"Haha!"
Zhang Shan did not seem to believe the slightly plump girl's words. He slowly walked up to her and said, "Girl, do not push yourself too hard. Just stay alive."
The girl failed to convince Zhang Shan, and her expression sank. Seeing that no one else in the entire room was speaking, Zhang Shan looked at Qi Xia again, dug out a piece of scrap paper from his pocket, dipped his finger in the blood on his own body, and drew a simple rough sketch.
"Here is our location."
Zhang Shan handed the scrap paper to Qi Xia.
"If you figure things out, you can come find us."
Qi Xia took the scrap paper, still looking at the three people with caution. But Zhang Shan did not care at all. He put his arm around little glasses, picked up the two bear arms from the ground, and limped toward the door.
"Hey," Qi Xia called out.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Shan turned his head back, only to find a white object flying right toward his face. He hurriedly reached out his hand to catch it. It was a cloth bag.
"This time I changed my mind. I am only taking half," Qi Xia said.
"That guy wearing glasses is not bad. I do not want his Dao."
Zhang Shan looked at the cloth bag in his hand, stood stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly let out a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha! Generous!" little glasses stood to the side with a puzzled face.
"Ah? Why? I gave this willingly... you clearly said before..."
"I am a con man," Qi Xia said coldly.
"Do not believe my words."
"But, but Mr. Con..."
"My name is Qi Xia," Qi Xia said.
"Do not call me Mr. Con, it sounds awful."
"Qi Xia..."
Zhang Shan repeated the name.
"Interesting. I will remember you."
After saying that, he lifted a black bear's forearm and tossed it to the four people.
"Damn!"
Qiao Jiajin was badly startled, but he still caught the furry severed limb. He realized this severed limb was exceptionally heavy, weighing at least twenty or thirty pounds, and right now it was dripping blood everywhere. Zhang Shan said, "The three of us cannot eat this much, and it is very heavy to carry.
You guys help me take it and throw it away."
"Throw it away?"
Zhang Shan waved his hand and turned around. Qi Xia and the other three looked at this bear arm, not knowing what to say, until Zhang Shan led those two people out the door. After a while, Earth Bull walked up and handed the four dirty cloth bags to them.
"Take them."
Qi Xia and the others then snapped back to their senses and took the rewards that belonged to them. There was a lot of Dao this time, so much that the few of them were somewhat at a loss. Thanks to Zhang Shan, the group also obtained long-lost food.
The slightly plump girl stood not far away, glanced at Qi Xia, slowly walked over, and asked tentatively, "Can I... join you guys? My teammates all died in the interview..." Qi Xia acted as if he did not hear the girl's words.
He merely weighed the cloth bag in his hand and said to the three people, "Let's go." After saying that, he turned around and walked toward the direction of the exit, leaving that girl standing in place with an awkward look on her face.
Qiao Jiajin shrugged helplessly at the girl and said, "Do not be angry, he is always like this." Seeing that Qiao Jiajin seemed like a person who was easy to talk to, the girl grabbed his arm and then said with a nervous face, "Please let me join you... I am so scared right now..."
"This..."
Qiao Jiajin had an apologetic smile on his face.
"I suppose it's fine... Pretty lady, how about you follow along for now..."
"Hey, Qiao Jiajin," Qi Xia turned around from a distance and called out.
"Let's go."
Qiao Jiajin looked at Qi Xia and noticed that Qi Xia slightly furrowed his brows at him.
"Oh, okay, I am coming."
Qiao Jiajin seemed to understand something. He nodded, turned back and said, "Pretty lady, it will not work out this time. Let's arrange for next time."
Having said that, just like Qi Xia, he ignored the girl any further and walked toward the exit. When the slightly plump girl saw that Qiao Jiajin also left, her originally aggrieved expression cooled down and gradually turned sinister and ruthless. At this moment, only she and Earth Bull were left in the room; the participants had all left.
Earth Bull tidied up the chairs knocked over on the ground while looking up at her. After a while, he flatly opened his mouth to ask, "Are you still doing your old tricks?"
"Yes."
The slightly plump girl nodded.
"It really is a pity. Our line of work is getting harder and harder to do."
"Why can't you be a bit more normal?"
Earth Bull turned his head and asked.
"Isn't it good for us to follow the orders together?"
"Haha!"
The slightly plump girl was so amused she showed an angry smile. She walked up, grabbed Earth Bull by the collar, and asked with a fierce face, "On what basis do you dare speak to me like this?! Speaking of normal, how much better can you Zodiacs be compared to us?!"
Earth Bull turned his head to the side and quietly said, "At least we are working hard toward the same goal..."
"Then let's work hard separately and see who is right."
The slightly plump girl let go of her hand, turned around, and walked to the exit. Before leaving, she solemnly added, "Zhang Shan cannot be kept around. As for that Qi Xia...
I will go think of a way." ...
"con man..."
After going out the door, Qiao Jiajin carefully looked back and then asked in a low voice, "What is the situation? Is there a problem with that woman?"
"I am not sure, but it is highly likely," Qi Xia said.
"It is better to be careful in this kind of place."
"You also know face reading?"
Qiao Jiajin smiled.
"Based on that woman's kind and pleasant appearance, I really cannot see any problem."
"This has absolutely nothing to do with face reading," Qi Xia shook his head.
"First, she said her teammates all died in the interview. If this is true, then she must have used some extreme methods, otherwise it is very hard for me to believe that out of nine people, a single weak woman would be the only one to survive," Qi Xia said.
"Second, the fact that she has survived alone until now, combined with her survival methods in the game, is enough to prove that she is not an ordinary person. It is highly likely she is approaching us for our Dao."
After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin also nodded in sudden realization.
"So that is how it is... Damn, I really thought she was pitiful."
"Of course, it is also possible that everything I said is fake," Qi Xia said.
"I just do not want to easily trust others."
Having said that, he turned his head back and asked the three people, "Right, let me use your Dao for a bit."
