Unlimited Doomsday Escape

Chapter 113 Conversation

Observing these threads up close for the first time, Lan Xiaye found that they were very similar to the ordinary transparent threads used to connect bead curtains.

These silk threads were beating in Qiangwei's hands like living things. Qiangwei's fingers trembled flexibly. With a slight movement of her slender white fingers, these transparent silk threads instantly shot out from her fingers and wrapped around the straw on the swamp.

The silk thread extends endlessly, and the heads of the silk thread are tied to each of Rose's ten fingers. When each silk thread extends, it will split into other threads.

These threads easily wrapped around the straw and pulled them out.

The great hero Qiangwei hummed and waited for Lan Xiaye's praise.

Lan Xiaye picked up the straw and walked back, leaving Qiangwei stamping her feet angrily. Lan Xiaye turned around in confusion and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Qiangwei bitterly picked up the remaining straw and followed Lan Xiaye's footsteps.

When the old man saw that the two of them were unscathed and had brought back so many straws, his skin and flesh trembled in shock. He sneered and stretched out his hands to catch the straws, "I really want to thank you two little friends for today."

"Wait." Lan Xiaye avoided the old man's arm and said with a smile: "Before that, I have a few questions to ask you."

"Haha..." The old man smiled numbly, secretly cursing Lan Xiaye, the little fox.

"You ask. Humans are supposed to help each other." He used Lan Xiaye's words to block her.

Lan Xiaye didn't feel embarrassed at all and opened her mouth to ask a lot of questions.

"What's going on with this rain? Why is it so corrosive? Why are mountains corroded, but these straws can resist corrosion?"

"What do you mean by new ones? Haven't you been here since the beginning?"

"Has it always been so dark here? It's been so long, and it doesn't feel like it's getting any brighter."

"Besides the black rain, what dangers are there here?"

elder:"……"

His expression gradually became numb, "Slow down, old man, I can't keep up."

Lan Xiaye had to ask again, and the old man answered in turn.

"Black rain will fall twice a day, and the rain is very dense. Just stay away at this time. I don't know why straw can resist corrosion."

"Of course we didn't stay here from the beginning. If I were born in this hellish place, I wouldn't be alive now."

The old man recalled, "It was a very ordinary day. The people in the village and I were planting rice in the field. Suddenly the sky turned dark and we couldn't see any sunlight. We ran home anxiously, but we couldn't find it anywhere.

On the way home.”

"It's always been dark here. I haven't seen daylight for a long time..." The old man sighed and answered Lan Xiaye's last question, "As for other dangers, I haven't seen them yet."

Lan Xiaye listened thoughtfully to the old man's words, and asked at the end, "How long have you been here?"

The old man was stunned. Ever since he came to this eternal night, he had already lost the concept of time.

"About more than a month?" he said uncertainly.

"What have you been eating this month?"

The old man's face suddenly darkened, "Little doll, I have answered so many of your questions, it's time for you to give me the straw."

Seeing that the old man refused to answer, Lan Xiaye could only hand the straw to the old man. As soon as the old man took the straw, he immediately changed his face and drove them away.

Qiangwei curled her lips, "Who is he!"

The old man said that there would be black rain twice a day on average. In order not to be eroded by the black rain, the two had to start building a straw house now.

After working for a long time, the two of them really didn't have the skills. After a long time, they managed to build a kennel.

Lan Xiaye and Qiangwei looked at the kennel and looked at each other. Qiangwei said tentatively: "How about we go find the old man to help?"

"I have a question that concerns me." Lan Xiaye said.

Qiangwei looked at Lan Xiaye in confusion, "What?"

"It's impossible for ordinary people to live without eating or drinking, and it's not like food can grow here."

Qiangwei listened very carefully and even followed Lan Xiaye's thinking, "They must be hiding something from us!"

Lan Xiaye nodded, "Yes, he interrupted me so eagerly just now to continue asking, why did he answer me all the questions I asked him, but he was particularly impatient when he asked about food."

When Qiangwei saw that Lan Xiaye confirmed her theory, she was so excited that she held her chin up and pretended to be thoughtful, "Is it because they are afraid that we will compete with him for food?"

"It's very possible." Lan Xiaye didn't deny this guess. Because food was too scarce, he didn't want them to know about the food to prevent them from competing with them.

"Is there another possibility?" Lan Xiaye's eyes are particularly deep, and the luminous crystal shines on her soft face. The reflection of the light makes her eyes extremely deep and charming.

Qiangwei was stunned and asked: "What is possible?"

Lan Xiaye said: "He lied to us from beginning to end."

Lan Xiaye's words shocked Qiangwei's heart, as if she had been struck by thunder, and she was stagnant in place.

"How... how is it possible?" Qiangwei retorted to Lan Xiaye in confusion, "How could an NPC lie to people?"

Lan Xiaye looked over in surprise. Has this weird girl not experienced too many tasks? How could she say such simple words?

"Why do you all think they are NPCs?" Lan Xiaye was very confused, "These are the real world, and these people are also real people. Human beings are the most cunning animals in the world. Of course they will lie to others in order to get something.

They want to deceive others and lure you in the direction they want."

The condescending attitude of the missionaries, who did not treat these indigenous residents as equals, but only as NPCs who provided clues, really confused Lan Xiaye.

Arrogance and contempt can make people arrogant, and arrogance can blind people's eyes and make them make wrong choices.

Lan Xiaye never underestimates anyone, because people are the most cunning. In the movie "Rashomon", in order to protect their own vested interests, everyone will use words to guide people to think in the wrong direction.

Just like Qiangwei, even if she is particularly harmless now and even somewhat close to him, Lan Xiaye will not relax his vigilance towards her.

Qiangwei was extremely ashamed by Lan Xiaye's words. No one had ever said these words to her, so she learned from other missionaries and retained her arrogance and condescension towards ordinary people.

"I know I was wrong..." she whispered. After reflecting on her mistake, Qiangwei said angrily: "He just lied to us and took our straw! We should ask him to give it back to us!"

Lan Xiaye spread her hands helplessly: "He will probably say that we are talking nonsense and bullying the elderly."
