Chapter 251 The Oriole Behind

Tang Xia exchanged a look with the two of them and slowly opened the note. On the note was an eye-catching address, and the three of them were instantly puzzled.

Jiang Yu took over the note directly and continued to look at it. However, there were only a few words, regardless of whether it was the front or the back.

“It can’t be? Only a few words were written on such a large piece of paper.”

“Isn’t one location enough? What more do you want to have?” As Tang Xia spoke, she snatched the note back again and read the address that was written on it over and over again.

Jiang Yu was slightly reluctant, and she leaned backwards rather weakly. “We spent so much effort to save the little girl. I thought that it would give us something good! But in the end, we have to go to the next location again.”

She could not be blamed. They had experienced many things and saved the little girl after they had gone through many hardships. They were inevitably a little tired, and a casual word of complaint or two was also inevitable.

Tang Xia did not say anything. In her heart, she actually also felt a slight hint of disappointment.

Ye Yifan thought for a long while and turned to look at Tang Xia. “Should we go or not then?” Tang Xia held onto the note in her hand and slowly shook her head. She seemed very conflicted and also did not know if they should go or not.

Jiang Yu suddenly came over and said quickly, “It might not necessarily be compulsory to go, right? We don’t even know if there is any danger there. If it is a trap, wouldn’t we all be eliminated?”

Ye Yifan actually shared the same sentiment as her. He was not afraid of death, but he wanted to be as safe as possible.

Tang Xia already knew Ye Yifan’s intentions with merely one look at his expression. She frowned and thought for a while. “We should still go.”

Jiang Yu and Ye Yifan were both stunned, and they turned their heads to look at her. “We’re really going to go? Our weapons are also limited. What should we do if it’s a trap?” However, Ye Yifan did not express his opinion and waited for what Tang Xia wanted to say.

Suddenly, they merely saw her smile and shake the note in her hand. “So what then? If we don’t go to this place, do all of you have a better suggestion? At most, we’ll die. Since we won’t really die, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Both of them instantly went silent, and they looked at Tang Xia in a slightly incredulous way. While they felt that her words were a little crazy, they also felt that what she said was very reasonable, and there was no way to refute it.

Jiang Yu also smiled helplessly. “Since that’s the case, let’s go then. I agree. What about you? Ye Yifan?”

Ye Yifan, who had been spacing out all along, suddenly returned to his senses and nodded, agreeing as well. Tang Xia patted Ye Yifan on his shoulder. “You’re so engrossed. What are you thinking about?” However, Ye Yifan shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.

Although Tang Xia was slightly puzzled, she did not think too much about it. Thus, she continued to turn her head and talk to Jiang Yu. Ye Yifan was slightly dazed as he watched Tang Xia speak. For a moment earlier before, he had suddenly felt that Tang Xia had changed.

She was no longer the small fan in the past, who always looked up to him, and neither was she the princess in the Close Your Eyes When It’s Dark villa, who always needed his protection.

Without his realization, she had gradually grown up to be a true anchor, who could rely on her own strength to manage things on her own.

Ye Yifan clearly felt that her entire being seemed to shine. He could not help but smile slightly. She had grown up.

Tang Xia watched Ye Yifan space out again and realized that he was spacing out as he watched her. She was slightly puzzled and raised her eyebrows. “Jiang Yu, what happened to him?”

Jiang Yu also turned her head to look at Ye Yifan, and she, too, shook her head in confusion. “I don’t know. Was he scared silly?”

“Scared silly? He was already scared silly before we even headed to that place?” Tang Xia does not think so, and she immediately gave Jiang Yu a look. She then turned to look at Ye Yifan and waved her hands in front of him. Unexpectedly, Ye Yifan caught hold of her hands. “I am stupid.”

The two of them were stunned. Tang Xia looked at Jiang Yu with a slightly blameful look. Jiang Yu indicated that she was also very innocent.

“Let’s go. Let’s go to that place.” Ye Yifan released Tang Xia’s hands and pointed at the note. The two of them instantly nodded gravely and prepared the weapons and necessary items. The three of them then headed straight to the place on the note.

Reality proved that this road was tough to travel. Throughout the journey, they never took any breaks. Ye Yifan directed them, and the two women naturally followed after him and served as his backing.

From time to time, a bunch of zombies would charge over. At that moment, they could not help but feel relieved that they had weapons on them. However, they also could not help but worry about that place being even more dangerous. If so, it would truly be game over for them.

It could be said that the three forced their way through the countless zombies with great difficulty. They also faced many problems before arriving at the location stated on the note. However, when they were at the target location, they instantly fell silent.

Jiang Yu shook the note in her hand, and her voice also quivered slightly. “Tang Xia, are you sure that the address refers to this place?”

The wasteland scene, which they saw, was merely a remote courtyard. Furthermore, it also seemed that nobody had lived in it for a long time. The roofs of the houses were all leaking, and weeds grew everywhere.

Jiang Yu could not help but fall in despair. Ye Yifan took the note and looked at it solemnly for a while. “This should be the place.”

Jiang Yu instantly burst into tears and squatted on the ground. “God! Did we go through so much trouble just to find a lousy courtyard? This paper is too much of a rip-off!”

Ye Yifan looked at Jiang Yu rather helplessly and sighed. He then turned and looked at Tang Xia and saw that she did not seem disappointed at all. Instead, she was observing the courtyard solemnly. He felt an inexplicable sense of emotions in his heart.

Just when they were completely clueless, as if Tang Xia had suddenly recalled something, she turned her head and said, “Say, do you think that it may be hidden under the ground?” The two of them were stunned and looked at her doubtfully.

“Under the ground? Probably not. Why do you sound like you’re talking about TV dramas and novels?” Jiang Yu shook her head in disbelief. On the other hand, Ye Yifan nodded in agreement.

“I think it is highly possible. Don’t forget that this is a zombie game.” Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan, and he looked right back before they smiled at each other.

Jiang Yu was utterly speechless. When did they have such great chemistry? However, she only had one mouth and could not persuade them otherwise.

“Then let’s search underground and see if there is anything under the earth.” As Jiang Yu said this, she lowered her head and began to check around. However, at that moment, she merely heard Tang Xia laugh and say, “In my opinion, we don’t even need to search.”

The two of them looked towards Tang Xia and merely saw her glance at a small mound. After listening to her, they walked over directly. “Hurry and dig this. Maybe it’s below this!”

The three of them were instantly motivated and started to dig the soil. However, while they were digging, Jiang Yu seemed hesitant.

“Say, we wouldn’t dig out zombies, would we?” She was a timid girl, after all. Tang Xia patted her shoulder and comforted her,

“That’s definitely impossible. Why would they bury zombies below? “We’re already here. Do you still want to give up like that?” After listening to Tang Xia, Jiang Yu eventually decided that it would be better to continue digging.

Not too long after, something was exposed in sight. Ye Yifan was stunned, and he quickly got the other two to stop while he continued digging. The girls were slightly puzzled.

Ye Yifan was afraid that it might be a bomb or something, so he instructed the girls to stand further away. Tang Xia understood his intentions and pulled Jiang Yu and backed off two steps.

Ye Yifan swept away the soil on the top silently and carefully. All that he saw was a small wooden box. They were all stunned. “Luckily, it’s not a zombie.” As he spoke, he patted his chest lightly.

Tang Xia was in the mood to play. She smiled and said teasingly, “A small zombie might be in such a small box, right?”

Jiang Yu was shocked, and she turned to look at Tang Xia. When she saw the joking expression on Tang Xia’s face, she then understood the latter was teasing her. Thus, Jiang Yu stomped the ground rather angrily.

At that moment, Ye Yifan opened the wooden box. The cover fell to the ground with a bang, and the two girls, who were playing, immediately looked over.

They merely saw Ye Yifan smile and wave his hands at them. “Come over quickly. It’s a good thing!” Only then did Tang Xia and Jiang Yu manage to react. They looked at each other and happily smiled before they ran over together.

As they moved closer and took a look, they discovered that the wooden box was filled with resources. Then, they exclaimed in surprise. Coincidentally, they had found a few submachine guns, which they lacked, as well as a medical kit.

Ye Yifan opened the medical kit and found a bottle of serum inside. Jiang Yu instantly stared at it in surprise.

“Oh, my God! There is even a bottle of serum!” That was something that even Tang Xia had not expected. This was definitely not a wasted trip. Ye Yifan was also very surprised. He lifted his head up and looked at Tangxia to ask for her opinion on what should be done.

Tang Xia pondered for a long while. “We better entrust this to you for safekeeping since you are a boy, after all.”

After Jiang Yu thought about it for a moment, she also felt that it would be safer to do so. Hence, she nodded and agreed as well.

Suddenly, Tang Xia felt that something was amiss with their surroundings. She instantly stopped what she was doing and looked at Ye Yifan. He, too, realized that something was wrong.

Although Jiang Yu did not know what had happened, she also knew that she should quieten down and not act rashly.

Tang Xia gave the other two a look, and they also understood and nodded. They turned around and discover that two people were standing behind them.

Tang Xia frowned. When they walked closer, she realized that the two newcomers were Lu Huanyu and the other streamer, Skye.

“Why are you here?” Tang Xia increased her vigilance and clenched onto the submachine gun tightly.

Lu Huanyu merely smiled and pointed the gun in his hand at them. “Why? What’s so strange about us being here? Since you found something good, you should share it with everyone. Come on, hand over the resources that you found, and we’ll spare your lives.”

The three of them glanced at each other and shook their heads.

Lu Huanyu dashed, and just when Tang Xia was about to use the submachine gun, he kicked it away. Everything happened in an instant, and he held the pistol against Tang Xia’s head.
