Chapter 423: Mutation - Loneliness 32
Before dark, Anjiu returned with five or six fishing rods tied in front of him and a backpack full of supplies that was taller than himself.
She shouted with difficulty: "Chief, come and help me, I can't lift it up."
Upon hearing this, the clan leader quickly dropped the work in his hands, and ran over with his loose clothes rustling.
"You took so many things?"
He was wearing rubber gloves so he didn't have to worry about getting wet.
But because he was still in a stage of physical underdevelopment, he tried his best to lift it but failed.
Patriarch: "..."
Anjiu untied the fishing rod and handed it over, "This one is light, take this."
The patriarch had no choice but to take it.
After he felt relieved and there was nothing in front of him, Anjiu rested in the water for a while. When his arms had enough strength, he grabbed the woven bag and pushed it ashore.
She followed him up, untied the bag, took out a large bath towel and put it on herself.
"Chief, have you seen the supplies floating up?"
"Are those?" The patriarch pointed to a dozen supermarket shopping bags behind him.
"Yes! Have they all been fished out?" Anjiu turned around with satisfaction.
The clan leader shook his head and said, "Those that drift nearby can be fished out, but those that drift far away cannot be fished out."
Anjiu: "It's okay, the fishing rods I brought are the most expensive in the store, and they say something like full carbon, so feel free to use them and go fishing directly from now on!"
The clan leader nodded and said, "Take a break and eat something to replenish your energy. It will be dark soon."
All preparations are for the skeleton army at night.
As the main force, Anjiu will have to keep running under the sea tonight.
She had been busy with supplies for the entire afternoon. If she didn't have a good rest now, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on at night.
"I'll just eat some energy beans, no need to light a fire, Chief, I'll change my clothes and go back to the house to take a nap, I'll be out soon."
After greeting the patriarch, Anjiu walked into the secret door wrapped in wet clothes, changed out of his diving suit, put on loose and warm clothes, and went straight to the patriarch's bedroom.
She took out a sleep-aiding pillow from the space and stuffed a handful of energy beans into her mouth in order to quickly replenish her energy.
You have to keep yourself alert, otherwise it's easy to make mistakes when you get to the sea.
She fell onto the pillow, and within three counts, her breathing became long and she fell into a deep sleep.
The clan leader did not come to disturb her, nor did he even enter the building. He was outside collecting the supplies that Anjiu had collected.
The skeleton that was previously placed in the bucket had now melted until only the last bit of the skull remained.
The patriarch took the bucket and basin and placed them in a row next to it.
The cut ropes are also placed at hand where they are most convenient to take, and everything is almost ready.
Hope all goes well tonight.
The patriarch looked at the gradually darkening sky and for the first time hoped that darkness would come soon.
He sat on the stool, panting, stuffed a handful of energy beans into his mouth, and then closed his eyes and took a nap.
When it was completely dark around him, he took out the candles he had prepared in advance and lit them in several corners of the platform.
Five or six orange-yellow light balls can illuminate the platform.
At this time, Anjiu came out wearing a wet diving suit.
The clan leader stood up and said, "How was your rest? If you are too tired, you can wait until tomorrow. We still have a lot of time, so there is no need to rush."
"I've rested well," Anjiu smiled, "Don't worry, Patriarch, I will do what I can."
Seeing that her eyes were bright and there was no trace of sleepiness or fatigue in them, the tribe leader felt relieved. However, when he thought about her going into the water, he frowned again.
"You must be careful with these flashlights and pay attention to your own safety..."
Anjiu responded to the chief's instructions while collecting the float and carrying it on his back.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it. I will definitely not try to be brave. By the way, Chief, can you fish? I will tie the skeleton man to my back float when the time comes. Otherwise, it will be tiring and a waste of time to go up and down."
The chief thought, "If you just want to pull it over, just aim and hook it. You don't have to worry about these. I have my own way. But you are alone in the sea--"
"Be careful~" Anjiu finished the rest of his words for him, picked up the rope with a smile, turned around and jumped into the sea.
The patriarch shook his head helplessly, and when he saw her go down, he became very worried.
The light representing Anjiu's location gradually descended and swam towards the abyss-like darkness.
He murmured, "I will definitely come back safely."
……
Anjiu discovered that the gathering point of the skeleton army had changed its location from the entrance of the bank to the bottom of a residential building.
Although the terrain is not as well-connected as before, fortunately there are no green plants in the community, and the flower beds also separate the skeletons into two groups.
Anjiu used the anti-theft window on the third floor as a foothold. While floating up and tying a rope to his back, he searched for the lone skeleton.
The scene of the skeleton army rushing into the building was quite shocking. Fortunately, it was in the sea, so if they were caught up, they could just jump out the window and escape.
The other person should be upstairs, but I don’t know which room he is in.
Fortunately, they are still alive and can attract the skeletons to follow them, otherwise it would be difficult to catch them.
At this time, Anjiu felt something rushing towards him from below. He looked down and found that it was a skeleton man being launched.
It just so happens that she doesn't need to go down.
Anjiu dodged sideways, grasped the skeleton's spine with his velvet-gloved hands and pulled it down, then put the rope around its neck.
Then he kicked outwards, and the light skeleton man was immediately carried upwards by the back float.
wasted!
The skeletons are so light that three or four can be tied together and then released.
Anjiu watched it go away.
It was too far from the sea surface, she could no longer see the snail's location, and she didn't know whether it could drift to the vicinity of the platform, let alone chase it.
Catch a few more, there will be more, and there will always be enough to deliver them.
After Anjiu selected his target, he jumped down and swam towards them.
……
"Look, there's someone down there!"
In the east room on the 32nd floor, Liu Shen had eaten and drunk his fill and was about to close his eyes and go to sleep. However, before he closed his eyes, he suddenly saw a streak of light passing through the ceiling.
He immediately jumped up from the bed, rushed to the window and looked down.
This sight frightened him.
Could it be that the aboriginals have caught up with us? !
You don’t know where they are during the day, so why do you come here at night?
"Don't sleep! Something happened!"
After a roar, Chang Tianhua and Dong Liniu came running over.
"what happened?"
"what's going on?"
Liu Shen pushed them towards the window and said, "Look, is that person down there coming towards us?"
Dong Liniu is nearsighted and can only see light below.
Chang Tianhua had good eyesight, and his scalp went numb the moment he saw the light. His first thought was that the aborigines were chasing him, so he subconsciously squinted to take a closer look—
"I was scared to death! It wasn't that person, it was a little girl!"
"What?" Liu Shen pushed aside the two of them, almost sticking most of his body out. "It's really a woman... She's still alive, but what is she doing? Isn't she afraid of being caught by the Skeleton Man?"
Chang Tianhua licked his lips and said in disbelief: "If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't the skeleton man who caught her...it was her who caught the skeleton man???"
