Chapter 290: Mutation - Suspended Ground 20
After collecting them all, give them to one of them, who will then put them into the space.
Under the captain's instructions, they did not leave, but instead went towards the small piece of fixed suspended land.
Ever since Anjiu knew their identities, he realized that he had to move to a safer place.
At present, this hiding place is only useful at night. As long as there is a little light, her presence can be seen at a glance when passing by.
After looking through the gap in front of her and making sure that there was no one in the visible range, she silently stuck her head out and looked around carefully.
Only then did she understand why the two suspended lands were silently connected together - the later land was higher and happened to have a rock that hooked downwards, which just happened to be stuck together with this place.
Seeing that the captain behind him had his back to him, An Jiu walked out quietly, took very light steps forward, reached the place where the two pieces intersected, and flipped up neatly with one palm.
But she was soon stunned - this floating land turned out to be a three-meter-high fence wall, and the facade visible to the naked eye was repaired very neatly.
Directly in front of her was a narrow path extending inward.
Why does it feel like a maze?
Anjiu quickly looked around and didn't see anyone, at least in front of the bushes.
She hesitated. Who knew where the exit was?
Do we have to waste time looking for an exit?
However, at this moment, a person suddenly walked out from behind the fence. He was yawning with his eyes closed, as if he had just woken up.
Anjiu: “!”
Her body was faster than her brain, and she summoned the knife and swung it over. At the same time, she flashed, and when the blade pierced into the man's body, she covered his mouth with one hand and put the other hand around his neck, pulling him back behind the fence.
——Be decisive in your actions.
An Jiu's mind flashed with the indifferent expression of Pu Huai when he said this. He twisted his elbow and heard a bone cracking sound, and the man's body went limp.
The blade that was buried in his chest and ribs quickly turned red, and was about to flow onto the ground like a stream.
——It will leave traces.
If it was discovered sooner or later that someone was missing, the later it was, the better it would be for her.
After quickly deciding the pros and cons, Anjiu put it into the space.
She leaned against the fence and focused her attention outside, listening for any clues or footsteps approaching stealthily.
However, after a long time, there was still silence all around.
Her tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Turn and look left and right.
This was indeed a plant maze. In addition to the straight main road, there was another road in front of her that led to nowhere.
Now that we're here, we can't risk going out again. Maybe after the terrain changes, there will be more exits.
Having made up his mind, Anjiu did not stay any longer and turned to walk along the path to the left.
The fences on both sides were nearly four times as tall as her. In the dark before daybreak, the mist mixed with the dark green leaves, a dark green color that made people feel uneasy.
In this situation, people will unconsciously always look back.
But if you really look back, you will be frightened by the deep and endless path behind you, which will drive your imagination crazy.
Anjiu summoned a rubber stick and held it in his hand, moving forward steadily and cautiously.
Soon, she saw a fence at the end. It looked like a dead end, but as she got closer, she found a road that turned right.
Anjiu recalled that when he looked into the eyes of that man, he seemed to have appeared from this direction?
Then she should just keep going.
As the sky grew brighter, she suddenly noticed that the fence that stretched out across her seemed lighter in color than other places.
Is it thinner?
With this thought in mind, Anjiu poked inside with a rubber stick and cut off the extra branches with a knife.
Looking down, a bright hole appeared in the fence wall.
The back is bright blue.
Looking at the thickness again, it was indeed more than half less, and the broken ends of the branches looked like they were violently torn apart. Anjiu reasonably suspected that it was caused by the divided land.
She tried pushing the fence, and although it was shaking violently, the roots were firmly rooted in the soil and there was no sign of collapse.
There may be a place with severe fractures ahead, which may be used as an exit.
Anjiu quickened her pace. No matter how many forks in the road appeared, she chose to follow the fence.
When she passed a fork in the road again, two people came out from the end of the fork, one in front and one behind.
They didn't notice anything unusual and chatted among themselves: "I don't know what's going on ahead. Should we just wait here for them to come back?"
Anjiu stopped suddenly, and the next moment he leaned against the fence and looked out quietly.
——I didn’t expect that there were still people from their group here.
——Why didn't they follow us out? Were they guarding the supplies?
But what kind of supplies were not put into the space immediately, but left behind to be watched?
An Jiu's thoughts were racing and he made countless assumptions.
The only relatively reliable idea is that the things those people are guarding are large, but they are not the most important things at the moment. With limited space, they can only collect other necessities first and deal with them later.
At the fork in the road, another person responded, "What else? You want to rush in too? Guarding is such an easy job, and there's no risk."
"What on earth are those black stones? Not to mention how heavy they are, they'll make your hands black just by touching them. If they get on your clothes, I'll probably have to waste a lot of contribution points to buy water. I don't understand what the captain wants these things for!"
As he spoke, he pulled a leaf off the fence and rubbed it across his palms and fingers.
The leaves were soon dyed black. This time he pulled off a few more leaves, held them in his palms and rubbed them hard.
The person standing next to him had a noticeable bald spot on his head and was chuckling.
"You don't understand, don't you? It's a good thing. I heard the captain say in private that when winter comes, it can be burned as wood. It's better than wood and lasts longer. What's its name? Oh! I remember now. The captain said it's called coal!"
"Coal?" He threw the rolled leaves aside. "I've never heard of it. I guess I won't be able to use it if I take it back. I'd rather eat it."
Perhaps it was such an easy job that made the man with alopecia areata happy, and he was willing to reveal a little more at this moment.
"Who said we can't use it? Did you forget the fire powder you bought last year?"
"No way……"
"Yes, it is made from this thing. Of course, there will be some other things mixed in it, but you can tell me whether it is good or not..."
Anjiu didn't pay much attention to what the two said afterwards. She was only attracted by the word "coal" they said.
Thank God, what she lacks most now is coal!
I didn't expect that after searching for so many places, I would find it without any effort!
Anjiu took a deep breath to calm down his excitement.
She replaced the rubber stick with a knife and stared at the two people walking towards her...
