Chereads / Ten Days Apocalypse / Chapter 48 - Havest

Chapter 48 - Havest

"What did you say?" Qi Xia's eyes widened in surprise, "You said you've seen... someone escape from here?"

"That's right," Zhang Shan nodded, "But to be precise... we only found that person's notes."

"This..." Qi Xia felt there was something strange about this, "You only found notes and concluded that the person escaped from here?"

Zhang Shan smiled and nodded, saying to Qi Xia, "Buddy, I'll lay it all out for you. For now... whether you believe it or not, that's all I have to say."

Qi Xia more or less understood what Zhang Shan meant, but he was really unable to determine if the other party was telling the truth or not.

At this time, a slightly plump girl heard Zhang Shan's words and came forward, asking, "Bro... are you still recruiting people? I can do anything..."

Zhang Shan looked at the girl and said with a smile, "Miss, it's not that I don't want to recruit you, but our goal is to 'break through all the games.' Do you have the determination to face the dangers ahead?"

After hearing this, the plump girl silently lowered her head. After thinking for a while, she said, "I can do it."

"Haha!" Zhang Shan seemed not to believe the plump girl's words and slowly approached her, saying, "Miss, don't force it. Live a good life."

The girl failed to convince Zhang Shan, and her expression darkened.

Seeing that no one in the room spoke anymore, Zhang Shan looked at Qi Xia again, took out a piece of scrap paper from his pocket, dipped his finger in the blood on his body, and drew a simple sketch.

"This is our location," Zhang Shan handed the scrap paper to Qi Xia, "If you change your mind, you can come and find us."

Qi Xia took the scrap paper and still looked at the three people cautiously, but Zhang Shan didn't care. He hugged Small Glasses, picked up the two bear arms from the ground, and limped towards the door.

"Hey," Qi Xia called out.

"Hmm?" Zhang Shan turned his head, only to see a white object flying towards his face. He quickly reached out and caught it.

It was a cloth bag.

"This time I've changed my mind and will only take half," Qi Xia said, "That person with glasses is not bad. I don't want his 'Dao'."

Zhang Shan looked at the cloth bag in his hand, was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly laughed heartily: "Hahaha! That's the spirit!"

Small Glasses, on the side, looked puzzled: "Ah? Why? I volunteered... you clearly said before..."

"I'm a liar," Qi Xia said coldly, "Don't trust my words."

"But, but Mr. Cheat..."

My name is Qi Xia.

Qi Xia said, don't call me Mr. Cheat, it's too unpleasant.

"Qi Xia..." Zhang Shan repeated the name, "Interesting, I'll remember you."

After that, he raised a black bear's forearm and threw it to the four of them.

"Damn!" Qiao Jiajin was startled but still caught the hairy, severed limb.

He found that the severed limb was extraordinarily heavy, at least twenty or thirty kilograms, and was dripping blood at that moment.

Zhang Shan said: "We three can't eat that much of this, and it's heavy to carry. You can help me get rid of it."

"Get rid of it?"

Zhang Shan waved his hand and turned around to leave.

Qi Xia and the other three looked at the bear arm, not knowing what to say, until Zhang Shan left the room with the two people.

After a while, Demon Ox came forward and handed the four dirty cloth bags to them.

"Take these."

Qi Xia and the others then came to their senses and took their well-deserved rewards.

This time, there were many 'Dao,' so many that the several people were somewhat at a loss.

Thanks to Zhang Shan, everyone also got some long-lost 'food.'

The slightly plump girl, standing not far away, took a look at Qi Xia, slowly walked over, and tentatively asked, "Can I... join you? All my teammates died in the 'interview'..."

Qi Xia seemed not to hear the girl's words, just weighed the cloth bag in his hand, and said to the three people, "Let's go."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the exit, leaving the girl standing there awkwardly.

Qiao Jiajin shrugged helplessly at the girl and said, "Don't be angry, he's always like this."

Seeing that Qiao Jiajin seemed to be a very approachable person, the girl grabbed his arm and said nervously, "Please let me join you... I'm so scared now..."

"This..." Qiao Jiajin had an apologetic smile on his face, "Alright, maybe... Beautiful lady, why don't you follow for now..."

"Hey, Qiao Jiajin," Qi Xia called from a distance, turning back, "Let's go, Qiao Jiajin."

Qiao Jiajin looked at Qi Xia and saw that Qi Xia frowned slightly at him.

"Oh, okay, I'm coming," Qiao Jiajin seemed to understand something, he nodded, turned back, and said, "Beautiful lady, it's not going to work this time, let's meet again next time."

After that, he also walked towards the exit like Qi Xia, ignoring the girl.

The slightly plump girl, seeing that Qiao Jiajin also left, originally had a grieved expression on her face, which turned cold and gradually became sinister.

At this moment, only she and Demon Ox were left in the room, and all the participants had left.

Demon Ox was tidying up the chairs that had fallen to the ground and looked up at her. After a while, he asked indifferently, "Are you still up to your old tricks?"

"Yes," the plump girl nodded, "It's a real pity that our line of work is getting harder and harder."

"Why can't you be more normal?" Demon Ox turned his head and asked, "Can't we just follow the instructions together?"

"Haha!" The plump girl was amused into an angry laugh. She walked up, grabbed Demon Ox's collar, and asked fiercely, "How dare you talk to me like that?! Speaking of 'normal,' how much better are you 'Zodiac' than us?!"

Demon Ox turned his head aside and said quietly, "At least we are working towards the same goal."

"Then let's each strive and see who is right," the plump girl let go, turned around, and walked towards the exit.

Before leaving, she said seriously, "Zhang Shan cannot be allowed to stay. As for that Qi Xia... I'll come up with a way."

"Cheater Boy..." Qiao Jiajin, after going out, carefully looked back and whispered, "What's the situation? Is there something wrong with that woman?"

"I'm not sure, but it's likely," Qi Xia said, "In such a place, it's better to be careful."

"You can also read faces?" Qiao Jiajin smiled, "With that woman's kind appearance, I can't see any problem."

"It's not about face reading at all," Qi Xia shook his head, "Firstly, she said that all her teammates died in the 'interview.' If this is true, she must have used some extreme means. Otherwise, I find it hard to believe that nine people could survive to this day in a situation where she is alone. Combining this with her desperate means of survival in the game is enough to prove that she is not an ordinary person. She is very likely to have approached us for our 'Dao.'"

After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin also nodded with sudden realization: "So that's it... I thought she was pitiable."

"Of course, what I said could also be entirely false," Qi Xia said, "I just don't want to trust people easily."

After that, he turned his head and asked the three people, "By the way, can I use your 'Dao'?"
