Wu Dazhi walked in first.
The person who came out to greet him was a middle-aged man, bare-chested and powerful. It was the awakened earth element, 'Third Brother'.
"Dazhi, what's going on outside?" Third Brother asked eagerly.
"The man-eating vine is really gone and has died. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Wu Dazhi looked happy.
For them, this is indeed good news. It makes it easier to go out to hunt and search for supplies.
"That's great!"
The third brother was equally happy.
I once encountered that thing, just like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and many brothers died in its hands. Now that it is finally gone, my heart feels like a huge stone has fallen to the ground.
At this time, the third brother quickly noticed Lin Dong, glanced at him, and showed a hint of caution.
"Who is he?"
"He was met when we went out to investigate the situation..."
Wu Dazhi recounted what happened, and in the end he winked secretly.
"oh."
The third brother understood immediately.
"Then let's go in and tell the captain the good news."
Several people walked deeper into the cave.
The third brother turned around and used earth energy to control the hole to close.
The surrounding light dimmed instantly, leaving only the torches on the wall, which shone brightly and illuminated the faces of several people.
Lin Dong walked inside and found that the entire mound had been hollowed out in the middle, and it became wider and wider as he went inside.
Not a moment.
They came to the "mountain belly" and saw a hall in front of them.
There were still burning torches on the surrounding walls, as well as some simple furniture such as earthen tables and earthen chairs.
In the middle, there was a large bench, covered with a bearskin, and a young man was half leaning on it. He only wore big underpants, holding a roasted rabbit head in his hand, putting it in his mouth and chewing on it, while keeping his eyes on Lin Dong and the others.
Judging from his posture, he looks a bit like a bandit leader.
Obviously, the young man is the leader here. His name is Zhang Zihang. Before the end, he dropped out of high school and became a security guard. He had 40 years less detours than ordinary people. Even though he is in his twenties, he has been a security guard for five or six years. years of service, and got the position of captain.
"Captain, it's us who are back!" Wu Dazhi stepped forward with a flattering expression like a translator.
"Well, how's it going outside?"
Zhang Zihang asked.
Wu Dazhi recounted what happened completely, not daring to make any mistakes.
Zhang Zihang was also very happy when he heard that the man-eating vine had withered.
I'm still thinking about it.
Maybe I can develop outward and make this group bigger and stronger.
He began to look at Lin Dong with his eyes, but he didn't directly break his face, but grinned.
"Welcome here."
"Oh, thank you."
Lin Dong thanked him, but his attitude was sincere. After all, it was from the heart...
Looking around, he saw that Zhang Zihang was not the only one in the mountain. There were also several members of the security team. In addition, in a dark corner, there were several people huddled up, both men and women. They were in tattered clothes, even naked, and looked ashen. , like refugees.
Zhang Zihang noticed Lin Dong's gaze, jumped off the bench, walked to the corner, picked up a girl, and threw her into the middle.
The girl cried out in pain and knelt on her side. Her figure was slim and graceful, showing perfect curves.
"Come on, hold your head up."
Zhang Zihang leaned down and lifted the girl's chin with one finger, as if to show off his trophy.
"Does she look familiar to you?"
"Huh? Who is it?"
Lin Dong looked curiously and found that although the girl's face was a little dirty, she was still very beautiful, with an oval face, a high nose, and a pair of big eyes. At this time, her thin lips were slightly pursed, showing a look of humiliation, and she looked very pitiful.
"Big star, Jiang Xue!"
Zhang Zihang said.
"oh...."
Although Lin Dong rarely pays attention to the entertainment industry, he has heard of the name Jiang Xue. It is indeed quite popular and a big star. So he looked at the girl again and found that it was really her...
However, the once dazzling star was now in extreme decline, to the point where he was at the mercy of others and tortured wantonly.
I don’t blame others for not recognizing it, the gap is too big...
Apparently, before the end of the world, Jiang Xue lived in a luxurious villa on the top of the mountain, which later fell into the hands of this group of people.
"Come on, big star, let's sing a song to relieve our brothers' boredom."
Zhang Zihang said with a smile.
Because Jiang Xue debuted as a singer and her singing skills are very good. She is known as a walking CD. When she has nothing to do, she will be asked to sing.
Jiang Xue's eyes were red, as if the word 'big star' had become a mockery, which stung her deeply.
But she understands the methods of these people, and if she disobeys them even a little bit, she will suffer inhumane torture.
So, Jiang Xue actually sang a song.
"I'm there every time, strong in the loneliness. Every time, even if I'm hurt, I won't shed tears. I know... I have a pair of invisible wings, take me to fly, fly through despair~~~ don't think about it. ..."
Because he hadn't drank water for a long time, his singing voice was hoarse.
Jiang Xue's singing skills are indeed very good, and she can express the despair at this moment. With the melodious singing, tears flowed from her eyes.
From being a big star with everyone's attention, in one day, he became someone else's plaything, and he was also the security guard who once guarded the door for him!
This huge gap seemed to make her fall from heaven to hell in an instant.
"Hehehe, if you want to say that my doomsday is good, people used to be so aloof that they wouldn't even look at us, but now they have to listen to us."
Wu Dazhi said with a smile.
The companion next to him nodded repeatedly and glanced at the corner.
"There is also a rich man worth tens of billions, especially his wife. She is like a bitter woman. She used to make things difficult for me every day and made me wear small shoes. Now I have to take care of her. She finally let out a bad breath!"
Lin Dong looked around and saw that there was indeed a middle-aged man and a woman next to him. Hearing their conversation, his body began to tremble.
I don’t know what kind of torture I suffered before.
Wu Dazhi and the others are still lamenting that the situation has changed, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don't bully young people into poverty. They feel that they are really the template for the protagonist of a cool novel that counterattacks.
At this time, Jiang Xue finished singing.
He was hugging his knees, burying his head in his arms, crying in pain.
Zhang Zihang felt that the display was about the same, so he turned to Lin Dong and said.
"If you want to join us, take out the man-eating vine crystal core and the stored materials now. We can still be brothers. Otherwise... you will end up like those people. Whatever result you want, you Measure it yourself.”
"Oh, okay."
Lin Dong nodded and slowly raised his eyes. In the darkness, his pupils reflected the light of excitement.
"You want the crystal core, right? I'll get it for you..."
