Ye Ling took a deep breath and looked within the high wall. He was already almost within reach. He was also very patient to wait for a while again.
No hurry!
He was separated from Shen Qianshu by only a wall.
…
Within the high wall.
In the bushes.
Shen Qianshu was bitten by insects until she had more than 10 bites. Her legs were all filled with red swollen bites. The insects here were especially poisonous, and it was very painful to get bitten. She could feel the toxins accumulating.
“Three days.”
They were already in the bushes for three days.
Their food supply was decreasing. As for drinking water, they were only left with a two-liter bottle of mineral water. The problem with food was a small one. The most fearful problem was the lack of water. Without water, they were in a very difficult situation. Shen Qianshu said, “They really plan to trap us here until we die.”
“We are competing to see who is more patient,” Monica said. “No hurry.”
They were not at their wits’ end.
Maxi said, “This method is too ruthless.”
They were not afraid if it was openly and fairly chasing and stopping to kill. They were most afraid of being besieged.
Shen Qianshu said, “Can we wait for nightfall and take action?”
Maxi said, “Cannot. When it’s night, they will also be guarding us. Once you come out from the cave, someone may see you. We have already slipped into a disadvantage. The advantage we have built at the start is gone.”
Three days of time was enough for Xue Er and the others to make a particularly precise arrangement in the bushes.
They did not have any way out at all.
“Hungry?”
Shen Qianshu shook her head. Monica said, “Try to eat and drink less. These are our only leftover supplies. Don’t use them unless you cannot bear with it.”
Of course, Shen Qianshu knew that.
“Quickly rain.”
This was obviously not going to happen. It was a sunny day, and the sun was shining all over the earth. It was unlikely to rain.
Shen Qianshu said, “They are already aware of our location.”
Maxi said, “Right!”
This was obvious. The bushes were only this big, and there were not many places to hide. If Shen Qianshu, Monica, and Maxi were besieging someone, they would also cover the land inch by inch and then rule them out.
A place was circled out.
Even if Xue Er and her group did not know the exact location, they roughly knew their location.
As Shen Qianshu had said, the group was discussing whether to confirm the location of Shen Qianshu and the others now.
Xue Er said, “We have already inspected all the places and are only left with this area. They must be hiding here. It’s just that we don’t know their specific location. Should we send someone to go over and determine their specific location?”
Nobody was willing to go out to determine their location. This was a tactic of sacrifice.
Meng Qi was also very exhausted. He had ambushed consecutively for a few days and did not do anything else. The sun had shone on him until a layer of skin had come off. It was more tiring than chasing to kill.
Xue Er said, “Meng Qi, what do you think?”
“It has nothing to do with me,” Meng Qi said. “To me, you all are enemies. I only want Shen Qianshu to die first. Don’t ask me about the plans you make; I don’t want you all blaming me when someone dies.”
Monica etc. were obviously at an advantage. If they had an advantage, then they had to expand it. People would think this way, but they did not want to sacrifice themselves. Naturally, someone had to be sacrificed.
A girl said, “It’s been three days. Their food supply should be almost used up. We are also not in a hurry. Let’s wait for a while.”
Xue Er had to give up. The opinions of many people were unified. They were willing to wait. She also did not have the say alone; hence, she could only let everyone wait. Suddenly, a broadcast was heard.
“Merci has died. I repeat. Merci has died.”
