Another World: That's too much. I have to start from scratch to get the contribution value.

Chapter 126 Big fish eats small fish

During the time that An Jiu was waiting for Ji Zhenzhen, the elevator was working at high speed, transporting groups of people out.

Several times more than before.

Looking around, the wasteland was full of people.

With more people and an uncertain number of fish, the competitiveness naturally doubles.

After Ji Zhenzhen finished shouting, many people looked at her with envy and jealousy.

Even Anjiu saw several men with gloomy eyes looking at her net bag several times.

But because she only had one fish inside, she gave up the idea.

Ji Zhenzhen also reacted and scratched her hair awkwardly.

"Come on, let's go deeper."

Anjiu and she held each other's hands to avoid slipping in the mud.

They tried to go to where there were fewer people and did not stop until the water was waist-deep.

"I used to catch fish in places like this. If you see bubbles, just catch them. I always catch them. Those fish are very stupid and move very slowly. But in shallow waters, it's not the same because the fish are very agile."

Ji Zhenzhen wiped the rain off her face and stared at the water around her with wide eyes.

"Have you ever heard of this saying, Xiaojiu? Some people say that this fish can't stay in the water for too long or it will drown."

Anjiu had his back to her and was a little surprised: "Can fish drown?"

"I think so. I don't know exactly what happened, but I think it might be the same as why we can't breathe in the water."

Ji Zhenzhen suddenly jumped out, struggled in the water for a long time, and finally stood up by putting her right hand through the gills.

"This fish is quite strong. I almost let it run away." She laughed and weighed it. "The mission is half completed!"

She fastened the net bag around her waist, imitating the way she fixed wine, and then stuffed the fish into it. The frightened fish flapped its tail, splashing water everywhere.

The noise of the fish being caught attracted a group of people who had just come out of the elevator to walk over here.

They exchanged glances, turned their backs to each other, and hurried to catch the fish.

Just as Ji Zhenzhen said, as long as you can tell whether the ripples on the water surface are caused by rain or by fish floating to the surface to breathe, the fish will be very easy to catch.

One after another.

Anjiu didn’t know where these fish came from. It was clearly a dry and cracked wasteland before, so how could there be so many fish hiding in it?

Also, how did the fish survive?

Another fish slipped away from Ji Zhenzhen's hands and hit someone's leg and was cut off. She cursed under her breath and leaned on An Jiu, panting.

Taking advantage of the break, Anjiu asked this question.

"Who knows," Ji Zhenzhen shook her head, "I just know that once I dug out a ball of dirt from the ground. It was bigger than my hand and quite heavy, but I didn't take it seriously and just threw it aside.

"Who would have thought that the stone would crack in the middle? I took a look and saw a living thing moving inside. I dug through the mud and found it was a fish!"

When she said this, Anjiu remembered the holes dug in the ground that he had seen before.

At the time I thought it was a hole left by someone digging for weed roots, but now I see that it was someone digging for fish.

Speaking of this, Ji Zhenzhen couldn't help but hiss.

"It's better to have the rainy season. We can eat fish and grow grass. And the fruits in that far, far away place are gradually ripening..."

Anjiu couldn't help but interrupt her and asked, "What place is that?"

Ji Zhenzhen's body trembled, and her voice became much lower. "The abyss is a very scary place."

Before Anjiu could ask in detail, a group of people rushed over.

"Get out of the way, we need it here, go somewhere else!"

"Get out of here now, you won't be able to leave if you don't leave now."

An Jiu hurriedly pulled Ji Zhenzhen away and stopped Ji Zhenzhen from jumping up and down, secretly shaking his head at her - there were too many people on the other side, and even if they could defeat them, there were still many people nearby who wanted to reap the benefits.

If a real fight breaks out, they will definitely be the ones who suffer, because they seem to be the easiest target.

There was an older-looking woman in the other team. She said to Ji Zhenzhen, "Little girl, listen to your partner and leave quickly. You two will not get any good results. I am already letting you off by not taking your fish. Otherwise—"

"What else do you want? You want to steal my fish?" Ji Zhenzhen took out a steel chisel from her pocket and held it in her hand, saying unconvinced.

"you--"

It was too late for An Jiu to stop him. The man opposite him immediately changed his expression and reached into his pocket, pulling out a sharpened branch, a short iron bar, and a pointed wooden stick that had been broken off the bed board...

These are all common things in the home, and now they are used as weapons.

After all, everyone knows the danger of slacking off, so how could they not prepare self-defense items?

What they can think of, no matter how dumb the other party is, they have experience to back them up.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and subtle.

An Jiu pulled Ji Zhenzhen back slowly with one hand, and took out the steel drill with the other hand, and said to the other party:

"Time is running out, everyone go your separate ways. We'll give you this place. If a fight breaks out, you won't be able to get away with it. There are too many people nearby waiting to grab the fish. You will definitely be the first to be robbed."

There were many of them, and the net bags in their hands were filled to the brim. In comparison, the harvest of Anjiu and the other man seemed too little.

As long as you are not stupid, you will know who to rob.

And indeed, there were signs that those people around were approaching.

The person who seemed to be the leader of the opposing team whispered something, and everyone put away their weapons and glared back in warning.

An Jiu took the opportunity to drag Ji Zhenzhen away.

The leader just watched them leave and did not let anyone catch up with them.

Only after they ran to a relatively safe place did they stop to catch their breath and rest.

Ji Zhenzhen stared back in that direction, unwilling to see them being driven away: "Maybe we won't be any worse off if a fight breaks out. Just like you said, everyone else will snatch them away!"

Anjiu paused and asked, "Do you know what it means when big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp?"

Ji Zhenzhen stared: "What the hell is that?"

"..."

This child has never seen anything and doesn’t know what is normal.

Anjiu explained it another way: "Would you be afraid of a child holding sharp objects?"

Ji Zhenzhen waved her hand: "I can slap him away with one slap, and he will be spinning in circles without being able to stop."

"Yes, that's why they are not afraid of us. Moreover, they are outnumbered. If they really rush at us at once, we won't be able to escape in the water. We can't defend ourselves with just two fists. Maybe they will lose a few people, but we won't survive either."

An Jiu looked at her seriously, "It's not worth paying the price of life for the so-called face. There is a saying called growth in a sneaky way. When we were still small fish, it was normal not to confront the big fish head-on.

"That is to say, if you don't have the ability, just keep a low profile, unless——"

"Unless what?"

Anjiu raised his chin and motioned her to look far away, "If we encounter fish smaller than us, we can eat them."
