BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60.1
Chapter 60.1
“Now what? Wait for this guy or the grandma to wake up? Wouldn’t it take until morning? That’s too much trouble!” Tang Mianmian complained.
“Might as well just give them another chop, fight poison with poison and wake them up!” Duan Hongzhen said impatiently.
Xiao Tangqiu, “...you stop! Be careful that your chop doesn’t make it so that they never wake up again!”
Duan Hongzhen raised an eyebrow, “Are you doubting my technique?”
Without waiting for Xiao Tangqiu to answer, Shen Yuan stepped forward in front of Xiao Tangqiu and gave a cold look at Duan Hongzhen, “Are you doubting my Jiujiu?”
Duan Hongzhen awkwardly rubbed his nose, “Don’t dare to, don’t dare to. I don’t have that kind of courage... Then what do you think we should do, Captain?”
Shen Yuan humphed, “Just do what Jiujiu says.”
So the eyes of the Reincarnation Team moved to Xiao Tangqiu again. Xiao Tangqiu was silent for a while, and uttered a sentence with difficulty, “Then... let’s wait until morning. There is no time limit for this instance anyways.”
Although waiting until morning was kind of a waste of time, it seemed to be the best way for now. After all, it was dark now, it was not convenient for so many of them to do things through the night.
Duan Hongzhen shrugged, “Alright then, you guys wait here. Yu Fuling and I are going to scout the situation in this village.”
Xue Junli nodded, “Go and return quickly. If you encounter danger, don’t try to force yourself, retreat immediately.”
They had a total of 20 people, the goal was too broad, it would obviously be very eye-catching if they acted collectively. Just two people acting was much better. Duan Hongzhen and Yu Fuling looked at each other and quickly and agilely left the wooden cabin.
“I believe that you have assessed the situation with your own eyes. Whether we’re conmen or not, you should all have figured it out,” Xue Junli glanced at the restless newbies and said quietly, “As soon as tomorrow dawns, we will officially start to take action. When the time comes, do what you will. ”
The man who liked to pick fights and nitpick was surprised, “Shouldn’t you be asking us if we want to join you or form another team now?”
Xue Junli calmly said, “Sorry, we don’t welcome those who hold others back.”
“How can you be like that!” The girl from before also jumped out, accusing indignantly, “You should be our seniors, how can you ignore us? Although it is not clear what is going on, in the face of hardship, we should all help each other! ”
Xiao Tangqiu raised his eyebrows. As he was thinking whether this nitpicker was being ironic or if he was speaking truthfully, he suddenly turned, “But I’m different from this group of useless teammates who can only drag you down. I am a gaming pro, definitely a godly teammate who can assist! ”
Xiao Tangqiu, “...” So it’s someone who wants to use the other newbies as stepping stones!
Xue Junli spoke lightly, “Even if you play well, it doesn’t mean anything.”
“Not only that! I’m a popular web novelist!” The nitpicker snorted, proudly raising his head, “This kind of endless thriller genre story, even if I haven’t read a thousand pieces, I’ve written hundreds! These kinds of events all can’t be more familiar, all the routes can be seen at a glance! I am definitely valuable to you!”
Xue Junli seemed interested, “Oh? What have you found so far?”
Immediately, the nitpicker frowned, “It hasn’t been long enough. I haven’t made any important discoveries yet, but according to my speculation, all of this is definitely related to the so-called mountain god!”
Xiao Tangqiu, “...anyone with eyes can see that.”
The nitpicker blushed and said, “Give me more time! I can definitely make a major discovery!”
Xue Junli spoke lightly, “Then we can team up once you do make a major discovery.”
The nitpicker gritted his teeth, “Since you are not willing to let me join now, then when I make a major discovery, even if you ask me to join, I will not join you!”
Xue Junli nodded, “As you please.”
“Humph!” The nitpicker turned his head and ended things with Xue Junli. The other newbies looked at each other, restless.
At this moment, Duan Hongzhen and Yu Fuling returned, and they both had heavy expressions.
Xue Junli frowned slightly. “What’s the situation?”
Yu Fuling shook his head, “We didn’t find anything special, but there is something strange about this village ...”
“What’s strange?”
Yu Fuling said, “It seems that there are only young people in this village, no old people.”
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but interject, “Looking at these people’s clothing and the architectural style of the village, this place should be in an ancient era, right? Isn’t it normal for there to be very few old people in ancient villages? After all, low economic and living conditions meant the elderly do not live long.” The average life expectancy was not high back then, most people died before they got to old age.
“It may be normal to have a small number of elderly people, but it is very unusual if there is not even one elderly person,” Yu Fuling shook her head and continued to say, “It’s not that there are few elderly people in this village, but there are no elderly people at all. The oldest here is only in their forties or fifties, middle-aged. The only old person is the grandma. ”
Everyone went quiet. There were only young people, no old people... What kind of a strange village was this?
“Wait,” Xiao Tangqiu suddenly said, “In addition to this grandma, there was another.” There was also the old lady named Junko, but Junko was already... dead.
Tang Mianmian couldn’t help but panic, “Can it be... Can it be...”
He didn’t go on to say anymore, but everyone thought of the same possibility. It wasn’t that the village didn’t have any elderly people, but there were no living elderly people. All the old people had only one end.
The crowd fell silent at the same time, this conjecture really made them feel chilled.
Just as Xiao Tangqiu shuddered, he heard someone call him, “Jiujiu!”
He looked up reflexively and saw Shen Yuan sitting on the only bed in the room.
Shen Yuan sat on the bed and patted the bed before Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes, “Come here, sleep.”
Xiao Tangqiu, “...I’m not sleepy.” How could anyone sleep at this time!
Shen Yuan said sternly, “You need to sleep even if you are not sleepy.”
Xiao Tangqiu unwittingly looked at Xue Junli.
Xue Junli paused, “Alright, that’s it for today. Everyone, take a rest and we take action tomorrow.”
Duan Hongzhen immediately yawned, “Alright then, I’m also a bit tired.”
After speaking, he randomly found a corner to sit down in and seemed to plan to settle and sleep there all night.
Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu were a little more particular than him, taking out a woolen blanket to lay on the ground, then snuggled up to each other and went to sleep.
The nitpicker pointed at Shen Yuan who was on the bed and said, “Wait a minute! There is only one bed in this house. Why should we let him sleep alone? Who decided this!”
Shen Yuan gave a cold humph, “I’m not sleeping alone. Jiujiu, come here.”
Even without the nitpicker’s questioning, Xiao Tangqiu was too embarrassed to let other people sleep on the floor and sleep with Shen Yuan on the bed. He hesitated on the spot, “This is not very good ...”
Xue Junli glanced coldly at the nitpicker, “You can choose to sleep on the spot or go sleep outside.”
The nitpicker immediately froze. It was so dark outside, who knew what’s out there, and it’s even in this kind of backcountry! He originally wanted to take the opportunity to rile up the other newbies, but none of the other newbies dared to act up and had already found good spots to settle down and sleep. He could only find a slightly larger area to settle down in.
Hmph! Under the eaves, people have to bow their heads!
Xiao Tangqiu was still hesitant, and was finally pulled by the impatient Shen Yuan and pressed down on the little bed.
“Jiujiu sleeps with me!”
Xiao Tangqiu struggled a bit, “This is not very good...”
Xue Junli said coldly, “Just get on the bed with Captain. Otherwise, do you want the captain to sleep on the ground with you?”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled helplessly. If he chose to sleep on the ground, Shen Yuan would probably not sleep alone on the bed. He hesitated for a while, but finally obediently laid on the bed.
Shen Yuan was satisfied and pulled Xiao Tangqiu into his arms, just like a hamster clutching its precious melon seeds.
