Chapter 81 Sisters
Pei Xianjue's face looked a little unhappy.
She was the one who brought the person in, so she could raise any opinions she had, but Pei Xianjue felt it was humiliating to be yelled at like that.
Baozi was also startled by Liang Zhou, and stood aside looking at him with suspicion.
The cat spider and the cat owl sensed the hostility and came to Feng Ling, baring their teeth at Liang Zhou and making threatening gestures.
Feng Ling was the calmest one and asked Liang Zhou: "What do you want?"
Liang Zhou said: "Before arriving at the safe zone, all personnel must be on alert and not act on their own. If an emergency occurs on the way, Deputy Captain Pei will command the operation."
The corner of Pei Xianjue's mouth twitched slightly.
Feng Ling asked him: "Are you finished?"
Liang Zhou's expression was grim. "Am I wrong?"
Feng Ling showed a puzzled expression on his face, "I don't know you at all, who cares whether what you said is right or not, if you are not satisfied, you can leave by yourself, there is such a big mountain, can I still stop you?"
"It's inexplicable~" Feng Ling turned around and walked forward, urging Li Qing, "Hurry up and lead the way, it's almost dark."
Li Qing withdrew his gaze from them and continued to move forward.
Huangfu Miaomiao followed Li Qing and intentionally stayed away from Liang Zhou.
Both of them are alien species and are more sensitive to the hostility shown by Liang Zhou. They did not express their opinions because they did not want to intensify the conflict in this environment.
When Pei Xianjue saw Feng Ling and his two pets walking away, he couldn't help but feel his head hurting even more.
She sighed, rubbed her temples, and asked Liang Zhou: "I paid you to be my boss, didn't I?"
"You hired me to ensure safety, but the current situation is not safe." Liang Zhou still insisted on his opinion, "Didn't you notice? The two monsters that woman brought in are growing very fast and have become a lot bigger."
"So?" Pei Xianjue looked at him speechlessly, "Is this why you're angry?"
Liang Zhou replied: "Is the information provided by Captain Su of Qingjiang Branch credible? Is this woman named Feng Ling credible? She deals with aliens, treats contaminated bodies as pets, and disdains the work process of the Supervisory Bureau. She is full of doubts. Since entering the maze, she has deliberately indulged aliens and contaminated bodies. Are we using aliens to enter the maze, or are the aliens using us to earn points and improve themselves?"
His series of questions left Pei Xianjue speechless.
Baozi thought for a moment and said to Pei Xianjue, "Actually, what the hero said makes some sense. Our target is the Lord of the Labyrinth. Attacking other creatures here will do us no good and will only alert the enemy."
“Okay, okay…” Pei Xianjue suppressed his temper and nodded in agreement, “Just assume that what you said is right, and that your precautions are reasonable. Is it appropriate to tear each other apart right away? We don’t even know where to go now! Without that Taoist priest leading the way, do you know where to find the Lord of the Labyrinth?!”
She took a deep breath and pointed at Liang Zhou unceremoniously, "You'd better use your brain next time you speak. I'll go apologize to Feng Ling later. You guys should stop making trouble. Baozi, use your skills to make the hero control his emotions."
After she finished speaking, she turned around with an unhappy look on her face and quickly caught up with the three people in front.
Liang Zhou stared coldly at Pei Xianjue's back and murmured in a low voice: "Just because you have a few stinky dollars, you really think you are a dish."
"It's normal that the young lady values them. Without them, we can't enter the maze." Baozi reached out and grabbed Liang Zhou, activating Jixiangtian's skill.
The ability of this card has a certain psychotherapeutic effect. It can quickly calm emotions and resist attacks from mental hypnosis.
Liang Zhou's expression eased a little.
He silently quickened his pace to catch up with the person in front.
...In fact, Pei Xianjue took Liang Zhou's words in to consideration to some extent.
After she caught up with Feng Ling, she couldn't help but look at the cat spider and the cat owl, recalling how they looked when they were just taken out of the pet box. It seemed as if... they had grown a lot bigger.
Feng Ling said that this was her skill, but it was hard to judge that she kept the polluted body as a pet. Let me make an inappropriate analogy -
In order to go undercover smoothly, the drug enforcement police started to take drugs themselves. It might have been a helpless act at first, but as the addiction grew, who knows what kind of person the undercover agent will become in the end?
So, will Feng Ling continue to fight for humanity? Or will he gradually lean towards the alien side?
Pei Xianjue pondered in her heart, took a few steps closer to Feng Ling, and said in a friendly manner: "Sister, I'm sorry for what happened just now. Haohan was a little stubborn."
Feng Ling looked at her with a strange look in her eyes, "...Sister?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Pei Xianjue smiled, "When men try to get close to each other, they always say buddy, right? We are women, so we can just say sisters~"
Feng Ling: “…………”
Pei Xianjue said: "Liang Haohan's mood has indeed been a little unstable recently. You know, we card holders will be more or less affected by the characteristics of the card. His card is the giant wolf Fenrir. In Norse mythology, this wolf is manic and arrogant. I guess he has held the card for too long and has been affected."
"You don't have to explain this to me. I'm not angry." Feng Ling replied, "Originally, I didn't expect any reinforcements. I would have entered the maze regardless of whether you came today or not, so I don't need to cooperate with you. If you can't cooperate with me, I don't care."
Pei Xianjue widened his eyes slightly and looked at Li Qing and Huangfu Miaomiao in front of him, thinking that these sisters were too brave to dare to enter the maze alone.
She raised a hand to her mouth and whispered to Feng Ling: "Although we met for the first time today, we both belong to the human camp. They are alien species... When the critical moment comes, who knows if they will turn against us."
After listening to this, Feng Ling imagined the scene of Li Qing and Huangfu Miaomiao turning against them.
Pei Xianjue said: "I think that little alien has some weird skills, you have to be careful."
Feng Ling raised the corners of his mouth and felt like laughing.
Pei Xianjue was confused and couldn't figure out what was so funny about her.
Li Qing in front stopped and stood at the fork in the road.
Directly in front of us is a tall and smooth granite pillar, where the rugged mountain path under our feet splits into two.
A road winds up;
Another road winds down.
Feng Ling asked Huangfu Miaomiao: "Do you know which direction the safe zone is?"
Huangfu Miaomiao looked both ways with a conflicted expression.
Seeing Huangfu Miaomiao in a dilemma, Li Qing said, "Going up is Sanqing Palace, and going down is Yulian Waterfall. Both places may be safe areas. As long as we are nearby, players will receive a prompt from the maze system. We can try one route first. If we don't receive a prompt, we can go back and try another route."
"Yes! Let's do it this way." Huangfu Miaomiao nodded immediately and said to Feng Ling, "It must be because we are not close enough to the safe zone now, so I didn't receive the prompt message."
Feng Ling frowned and looked into the distance.
The jagged mountains stood among the clouds and the sky was dark. It would not be long before it was completely dark.
By then, the road will be more difficult.
The monsters in the maze will also become more active.
