#201 - Chapter 201 The phone call that followed
"What's the use of eating it?" Li Chenqiu's wide eyes were full of thirst for knowledge.
"It widens blood vessels, strengthens the internal organs, and tempers the bones, making them harder. In short, it raises the upper limit of the physical body. It's extremely precious and priceless."
"Expensive!" Li Chenqiu's eyes lit up instantly: "So amazing!"
"Don't take it too seriously. I heard it from others, after all, I haven't seen it or eaten it." Xiang Nanzhi poured cold water on him.
"How could others tell lies!" Li Chenqiu turned his head and looked at Yuan Ping with fiery eyes: "Commander Yuan, is the cooperation you want to discuss this blood vine fruit?"
"Uh… yes." Yuan Ping nodded: "That corpse-hanging vine has the strength of Five Forbidden. We are not opponents, so we want to cooperate with you. There are six blood vine fruits on it.
We don't want any of them, but we hope you can give us a few sections of the corpse-hanging vine for guiding the way."
"Okay." Li Chenqiu enthusiastically grasped Yuan Ping's hand: "Time is of the essence, let's set off now. I'm afraid that things will change if we delay, and the blood vine fruit will encounter misfortune."
"This… I'm afraid it won't work." Yuan Ping shook his head: "That corpse-hanging vine is together with the ghost ship, but that ghost ship is not always there."
Xiang Nanzhi raised a single eyebrow: "Could that ghost ship be invisible?"
"It's kind of invisible. According to our observation, that ghost ship appears once every seven days, usually between three and four in the morning, and the location is near that cave," Yuan Ping explained.
Li Chenqiu asked: "How many days until the next seven days?"
"Tomorrow night."
……
……
The sky was slightly bright, and the hazy morning light fell on the square through the window.
Jin Fei and others were lying motionless on the ground, obviously dead.
Li Chenqiu lifted his heavy eyelids, stretched, and returned to his cell for a simple wash.
At night, Li Chenqiu had agreed with Yuan Ping to set off at six in the morning.
Although the ghost ship appeared in the middle of the night, Li Chenqiu didn't want to drag it out until the evening. If the Fierce Tiger Gang caused trouble for him during this period and delayed the time, he would have to wait another seven days.
"Ghost ship, is it a Mystic Weapon?" Li Chenqiu looked at himself in the mirror.
After preparing everything, Li Chenqiu walked to Xiang Nanzhi's bed.
"Hahuhu~ Hahuhu~ Hahuhu~"
Xiang Nanzhi was lying on the bed in a "大" shape, making a soft snoring sound.
"Hey, stop sleeping." Li Chenqiu reached out and shook Xiang Nanzhi's arm.
"Uh… don't move…"
Xiang Nanzhi turned her body and shrank into the corner of the wall.
Li Chenqiu climbed to the upper bunk speechlessly and shook Xiang Nanzhi again.
Xiang Nanzhi slapped Li Chenqiu's hand away: "Uh… I'm determined to eat him… even the King of Hell can't keep him… I say…"
Pa!
A crisp slap landed on Xiang Nanzhi's face, pulling her out of her sleep at once.
"Who dares to stop me!" Xiang Nanzhi's eyes widened like she had been injected with chicken blood, and she quickly swayed.
"Keep your voice down, the others are still sleeping."
Li Chenqiu gestured to Zhou Qinshu and Ji Mu who were sleeping soundly.
"Oh oh." Xiang Nanzhi nodded blankly, then, as if thinking of something, covered her face and looked at Li Chenqiu: "Did you just slap me?"
"Why would I slap you?" Li Chenqiu said calmly.
"Eh!" Xiang Nanzhi frowned: "Then why does my left face hurt so much, and I vaguely heard a slap just now, did you slap me!"
"Why would I slap you for no reason? You must be confused from sleeping, go wash your face and wake up." Li Chenqiu patted Xiang Nanzhi's shoulder calmly, then jumped out of bed.
After Xiang Nanzhi washed her face, the two came to the place agreed with Yuan Ping.
Xiang Nanzhi squatted on the side of the road, supporting her face with her hands, squeezing her facial features out of shape, staring blankly ahead.
"Uh… so sleepy… I want to die… why did I stay up late yesterday… if I could do it again, I would definitely not stay up late…"
Xiang Nanzhi said weakly, like she had lost her soul.
Li Chenqiu stood upright, glanced at Xiang Nanzhi and said: "Why be greedy for sleep before death, you will naturally sleep long after death."
"What kind of nonsense is that? Lying in a warm bed is an enjoyment, it's something that makes people feel warm, it's something that only living people can experience. Will you feel warm lying in a coffin when you become a dead person?"
"You can choose cremation, and then scatter your ashes in the desert, so that you are not only not alone, but also very warm," Li Chenqiu replied seriously.
Xiang Nanzhi touched her chin and thought seriously: "That sounds pretty good, but who would be so free to carry a jar of ashes and run to the desert to scatter them."
Li Chenqiu stretched his hand in front of Xiang Nanzhi: "I'll do it if you pay me."
Xiang Nanzhi: ___*(  ̄皿 ̄)/#____
"Get out, I think you have a big problem in your brain!" Xiang Nanzhi reached out and pushed Li Chenqiu aside.
Buzz——
The roar of an engine came from the road, and a military green truck drove from a distance.
Xiang Nanzhi stood up: "Here it comes."
Li Chenqiu pointed to the truck in surprise and said: "How do they have a car?"
"Rented from the prison, the mountains and forests are so big, are you going to rely on walking to advance, and after killing the revived beast, are you going to pull it back with your shoulders?"
Xiang Nanzhi gave Li Chenqiu a disgusted look: "Don't ask such idiotic questions in the future, others will think I'm an idiot too when they hear it."
Li Chenqiu: (⌐■_■)
Soon, the truck drove to the two and stopped.
Yuan Ping led a dozen people out of the car.
"Li Chenqiu, long time no see."
Yuan Ping walked to Li Chenqiu with a smile.
"We just arrived too, please lead the way, Commander Yuan." Li Chenqiu nodded with a smile.
"Okay." Yuan Ping turned around and introduced to the two: "These are the people from our Sea and Sky Hunting Group, this is our Vice Commander Zhao Xue."
A woman in her thirties, with a ponytail and a capable appearance, walked out of the team and shook hands with the two with a smile.
"This is our other Vice Commander, and also the strongest person in our team, Xiong Shan." Yuan Ping pointed to a muscular, mountain-like strong man.
"Hello." Xiong Shan smiled honestly at the two.
"Hello." Li Chenqiu replied politely, then looked at Yuan Ping: "Time is of the essence, let's get on the road quickly, I feel uneasy staying here."
"Okay."
Boom——
With the roar of the engine, the truck carrying the group drove towards the prison gate.
……
Dinglingling… Dinglingling…
Click!
"Hello, what's wrong?"
"Li Chenqiu is out, you can take action."
"What do you need me to do?"
"The higher-ups said, if you can kill him, kill him. If you can't kill him, find out everything about him."
"Understood."
