Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

Just as Chen Xi said, he couldn't be saved. Before the two people rowed over, Jin Balian died first. They only brought back Jin Balian's body.

The body was carried back to the deck. Now everyone was free from the risk of being sold, but they were at a loss as to what to do next.

Captain Salai was also upset. Jin Balian didn't pay him the money later. This trip was really a big loss.

The four people from the circus and Zhang Tianshi were also at a loss. It's not that they didn't want to go back, but they didn't have the money to go back. All the property of the six people added up was not enough for the return ticket.

Even if Captain Salai kindly sent them back, what would happen after they went back?

No food or drink?

There was no way forward and no way back. For a moment, the air pressure on the ship dropped, and the group was completely confused and couldn't see the way forward.

Without Chen Xi deliberately asking, they started complaining to each other. The general meaning was that they had no money, how could they survive if they went back?

Jeff, who had been waiting, finally found the opportunity to speak: "If you don't have money... I will help you make money?"

All of a sudden, everyone on the boat turned their eyes to Jeff.

Jeff's face twitched twice. Obviously, he was excited. He pointed to the dead python and said: "If we can catch that big guy alive, we will get a lot of money."

After the voice fell, people with a little bit of rationality shook their heads desperately. What a joke, they don't want to catch that terrifying python alive.

Jeff said to himself: "Do you know the legendary scarlet naga? It is a unique snake in the world. There is only one. As long as we catch it, the bounty will be more than we can spend in several lifetimes."

Chen Xi, who was silent on the side, was very happy. Good guy, I knew you were the key person. The clue of the scarlet naga was found.

Then there was a debate on the boat. Gong Lanlan was the first to object, and Jeff tempted them with a large sum of money. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement to catch an ordinary python first.

It's not that they want to catch it, but if they don't catch it, they have no money to go back.

Captain Sarai finally spoke at this time: "If you want to catch the scarlet naga, then I won't drag you. It's a cursed land and I don't want to get into trouble."

This time it was Jeff's turn to be at a loss. No matter how he tried to persuade him, Captain Sarai just didn't agree.

In the end, the two sides discussed for a while and each took a step back. Captain Sarai didn't take them to catch snakes, nor did he leave. He just waited for them on the shore and took them back after they caught the python.

The snake catching team also discussed it. That's it tonight. Tomorrow they will land on the shore and go to the depths of the rainforest to catch snakes from land.

Chen Xi took out two empty shells from the gun chamber, replaced two bullets in, and kept six rounds of full ammunition again. He was trying to find a reason to follow the other party.

He didn't go to the mountain, and the mountain came to him.

Jeff came up to him when no one was around and said straight to the point: "You are a bodyguard for money, and I want to make money too, so why don't we work together?"

"Catch the Scarlet Naga?"

"Yes, as long as we catch that snake, we can retire and enjoy endless wealth and glory in the second half of our lives."

"That sounds good, but why should I believe you can catch that guy?"

"Everything has risks. You can take a gamble. If you catch it, we will share the money. If you fail, it will only waste a few days."

Chen Xi pondered for a while before agreeing: "Okay, as long as you don't do anything wrong, then let's cooperate."

Jeff's face twitched again, and he was very happy.

If possible, Jeff didn't want to be the opposite of Chen Xi.

Jeff went back contentedly. Not long after, Gong Lanlan came over again, stood beside Chen Xi, leaned her elbows on the side of the boat, looked at the dark river, and said faintly: "I didn't want to kill him."

"Well, I know, it was all an accident."

"I wonder if we guessed wrong?"

"Although I have no evidence, I still think it's right."

"Maybe, right or wrong, true or false, it doesn't matter."

"Then what do you blame yourself for?"

"I just didn't think he would die."

"Everyone will die."

"It's different. I always feel like I'm the murderer."

"Then change your mindset. If you are sure that he thinks that way, what will you do?"

Gong Lanlan thought for a while and said, "I will beat him up."

"Then you are really kind."

"I'm different from you. I'm just an ordinary person. I grew up in a circus and lived a simple life. I don't want such a good life, but even so, I am still full of hope for the future. I never thought I would kill someone. "

"Jin Baliang was killed by a python. What does it have to do with you?"

"But I was the one who threw him into the water."

"According to what you said, he is not more responsible. He was the one who had bad intentions first. Then it's all Chunchun's fault."

"Ha! Maybe, thank you for comforting me."

"No, I'm just stating the facts, and I can't empathize with your thoughts."

"Hmm?"

"In my opinion, human life is not valuable. If you die, you die, especially for that kind of person, who can save food if he dies."

"You..." Gong Lanlan didn't know what to say, so she changed the subject and said, "Your job is so dangerous, don't you plan to change your job?"

"I don't know anything else."

"You are such a good cook, why don't you think about opening a restaurant?"

"Where to open it?"

"Open it in China."

"Who told you I'm Chinese?"

"Huh?"

"I'm an illegal resident, without an identity." Chen Xi explained speechlessly. This time the system didn't assign him any identity. He was really an illegal resident.

Gong Lanlan was also dumbfounded.

"So I can only live in a country with imperfect laws and systems. Forget about returning to China."

"Well... you can also open a restaurant in Thailand. You know so many powerful people. It shouldn't be difficult to get an identity, right?"

"That's true, but I don't like Thai nationality, and I don't want to open a restaurant in Southeast Asia. It's too hot."

Well, Gong Lanlan was completely speechless.

"Besides, I make $10,000 a day as a bodyguard. I can easily make a lot of money. What's wrong with that?"

"Being a bodyguard is dangerous. What if you die?"

"Then die. At least I enjoy it."

"Okay, I won't persuade you anymore."

"Why do you suddenly care about me?"

"Nothing. I just think you're a good person. It's a pity to die."

"Oh."

The two fell into a brief silence. Chen Xi leaned against the side of the boat, lit another cigarette, and took out a can of Coke from the backpack beside him: "Please drink it."

Gong Lanlan took it and smiled: "Thank you."

In this way, one person smoked silently, and the other drank Coke silently. The smell of smoke drove away a lot of mosquitoes.

In the cabin, Da Jiao and Jia Peng huddled together to peek. The two were still muttering, fearing that their most beloved sister Lan had been deceived.

In another cabin, Ali rolled her eyes to the sky. What's the big deal? It's just that she couldn't walk when she saw the handsome guy.

Zhang Tianshi and Zombie Awei were already fast asleep. Compared to other people, these two were much more generous.

There was no room for Chen Xi in the cabin, so he simply found an open place on the deck to set up a tent and sleep here tonight. As for the safety issue, it was still left to the shadow guard.

The shadow guard was summoned by him secretly, and then dived into the water. This guy didn't need to breathe, and it was fine to stay in the water all night.

It was a rare peaceful night. After the sun rose the next day, the boat moved and approached the shore. A group of people got off the boat and prepared to hunt pythons. Only Jeff and Chen Xi's target was the scarlet naga.

On the way, Jeff also discussed with Chen Xi not to shoot when encountering a python, and the death was worthless.

Chen Xi nodded and didn't object. Now he also figured out what the scarlet naga was. The one with red eyes was the target. It didn't make sense to kill other pythons.

The person leading the way was Jeff. He led a group of people towards the place where the Scarlet Naga appeared. Those people didn't know and just followed. Only Gong Lanlan was always worried.

Gong Lanlan approached Chen Xi and followed closely. Following him, she felt a little safer.

Although Chen Xi was a murderer, he gave her a much stronger feeling than Jeff. Her intuition told her that Chen Xi had no ill will towards them, but that person might not be.

Unfortunately, Gong Lanlan didn't know Chen Xi's humanity. His lack of ill will did not mean that he had good intentions. His not harming people did not mean that he was willing to save people. If he could lead out the Scarlet Naga, he could completely not interfere with Jeff's plan.

Isn't it just using living people as bait? As long as he is not used, what does the life and death of others have to do with him?

The more worlds you travel through, the more cold-blooded you become.

After walking in the mud for more than two hours, you finally find a relatively clean water source. When Ali was about to drink water, she was stopped by Jeff.

With Jeff's reminder, everyone realized that the water was full of parasites. They were so scared that they retreated in a hurry, fearing that they would be parasitized. Chen Xi was not afraid of this thing, but it looked disgusting.

Without water to drink, the group was thirsty. Chen Xi took out a few cans of Coke from his backpack, drank one himself, and shared the others with everyone.

Gong Lanlan and Ali got a can, and the two of them drank it with disdain. Drinking Coke did not delay the two people from fighting.

"I'm a little hungry. What are we going to eat later?" Chen Xi asked casually.

Jeff's face twitched again: "Watch me."

Jeff used his hand as bait to fish out a python from a tree hole. This was lunch.

Chen Xi made a fire, and the others roasted the snake meat. Jeff ate it raw, not afraid of any parasites.

As if he noticed Chen Xi's sight, Jeff smiled crookedly: "Do you want to try?"

"No, I still like to eat it cooked." Chen Xi waved his hand: "You can enjoy it yourself."

After lunch, they were attacked by a python in the afternoon. The problem was that Jeff hadn't prepared the trap yet, and everyone was already in danger.

Seeing the critical situation, Chen Xi was ready to draw his gun, and Jeff, who was not far away, shouted loudly: "Don't shoot, I can handle it!"

Chen Xi pouted, okay.

Jeff had a good idea, but his personal strength, without the cooperation of the trap, could not catch the python at all. The rope was wrapped around the upper jaw of the python, but the python was too strong, and he was dragged away.

"Ah la la~~" Chen Xi looked at Jeff's flying figure, and had time to say something sarcastic: "The landing posture is not good."

Others on the side were full of black lines.

The python struggled to break free from the rope, and swam to other places in just a few seconds, attacking Chen Xi and others from behind.

Jeff stood in the distance in frustration, watching the python's head being blown apart by a bullet, but he could not say anything.

Chen Xi gave him the opportunity, but he did not seize it.

Chen Xi is a bodyguard, not a snake catcher. He doesn't know how to deal with pythons. If a python attacks him, his only way to deal with it is to shoot. No one can find fault with him.

The first hunting failed, and the group's air pressure was a bit low, but who can be blamed for this?

The python came too suddenly, and there was no trap, so it couldn't be caught at all.

Compared with the failure of the capture, they encountered a more serious situation. Ali was infected and urgently needed antibiotics, otherwise she would die here.

Jeff seized the opportunity again, and led everyone to the area where the scarlet naga appeared on the pretext that there were antibiotics on the ship.

And the zombie Awei was parasitized by the red nematode, but no one found it.

Chen Xi and Jeff reached an agreement again. He would not interfere with the other party's catching snakes, but after the capture failed, if the python attacked him, he would shoot without hesitation, and there was no room for negotiation.
