Chapter 1164: Despair
Thus, three people had wanted to kill Israel’s three companions to prevent them from leaking their secrets!
Although the original social order had collapsed after entering the remains, everyone knew that the remains would eventually disappear. When outsiders knew what they had done inside, their reputation would be ruined!
If they let Israel’s companions go, and Israel disappeared after the remains ended, they would definitely put the blame on the three Caucasians. Thus, how could they let them go?
They would not even let the women with them and Israel leave the remains! They had wanted to kill Lu Shu, but the three Caucasians were mediocre. Furthermore, Lu Shu’s expression was far too calm. Israel and the rest of the ordinary people could not tell, but the three people could sense that there was something wrong with Lu Shu.
They felt that it was best to avoid trouble. In the end, they decided to let Lu Shu go. They did not want to provoke him.
Unlike Israel, they did not feel that Lu Shu was as simple as he seemed.
Israel suddenly felt that the most frightening things in this world were not the creatures in the remains. People with boundless ambition were.
The darkness in people’s hearts would emerge after they felt that they would not be punished for their actions.
Israel suddenly felt she preferred being with Lu Shu. Although she viewed Lu Shu’s strength with disdain, she knew that even a Rank Five Pract.i.tioner would be able to protect the four of them.
But from the very beginning, he did not have any ulterior movies. He had moral conduct!
No. He had moral conduct, but was very infuriating!
Israel took the opportunity before the three Caucasians could approach her to suddenly run towards Lu Shu. While she ran, she shouted, “Help!”
In times of danger where her life was at risk, Israel pinned her hopes on Lu Shu.
But the three Pract.i.tioners were much faster than her. Before long, she was caught by the three Pract.i.tioners. Her companions stood by the side. They did not dare to speak. They even wanted to abandon Israel and run.
Israel knew that her three companions were useless. At least Lu Shu had reminded her when she walked in high heels. Her colleagues had never offered to help her.
But Israel knew that they were in the remains. She could not blame anyone. However, in her situation where she might be humiliated and bullied, she was in despair.
Israel desperately wished for the young man to suddenly return and defeat the three Pract.i.tioners like a superhero.
However, it was a pity that Lu Shu had no intentions of becoming a superhero. She was not a princess or the female protagonist of a movie.
The three Pract.i.tioners laughed and dragged Israel on the ground. “How can we let you go? We have been hoping for this day to arrive since we saw your show. We never expected this day to come!”
Israel was not foolish. She did not threaten that she would expose them when they got out of the remains. She knew that she might not be able to escape if she did so.
At that moment, Israel suddenly saw a gray thread on the ground. She was dumbfounded. What was this? Was this a strange creature in the remains?
She could not be blamed for doing so, as the gray thread moved as if it was alive. it was like a poisonous snake, except that it was much thinner!
In an instant, the gray thread flew towards the three Caucasians like a snake raising its head. Blood erupted from their necks at the same time!
The gray thread did not stop. Instead, it went underground and disappeared!
No one understood what had happened. The three Caucasians clutched their necks and slowly crawled to the ground. They could not even speak. They could only bend down and panted heavily.
Only they knew that something had cut through their carotid artery and their necks!
If only their carotid artery had been injured, they would not die with their recovery skills as Pract.i.tioners. If their blood flow was forcibly stopped, the recovery skills of their blood vessels were very strong!
But now, they could not do anything. They could only wait for their deaths!
Israel looked at the three people in doubt. But she turned and ran towards the direction Lu Shu had disappeared in without any hesitation!
Everything that had happened today eliminated Israel’s hesitation. She only wanted to seek protection!
She did not even care about her companions. She only wanted to run towards Lu Shu. She even considered whether the gray thread was Lu Shu’s.
At first, she had thought that it was a creature from the remains. But she thought about it. If the creature was that strong, why had it only killed three people?
Israel determined that Lu Shu might be nearby, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Furthermore, he might not be a Rank Five Pract.i.tioner!
Israel ran, and the others followed suit. The more Israel ran, the more she fell into despair. She could no longer run, but she could not see Lu Shu anywhere.
The group of people slowed down in disappointment. They walked for another hour before something suddenly happened. Israel furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Do you smell something?”
They looked at one another helplessly. It was the smell of barbecued meat!
They walked faster. After all, they could not control their hunger. After they crossed a hill, they realized that a pond had appeared. There was even a spring where fresh water flowed from. Lu Shu sat by the pond and broke some branches. He hummed while eating the barbecued meat… beside Lu Shu was a fallen antelope. The meat from its leg had been cut away…
When Israel saw Lu Shu, it was as if she had seen hope. She wanted to ask him whether he had saved her.
When Lu Shu saw Israel, he was alarmed. “This is the barbecued meat I cooked!”
Israel was about to laugh from anger. It seemed like she had thought too much. What about this young man looked like a superhero?
“How much is it? I will buy it from you,” said Israel. She knew that this young man was greedy for money…
Lu Shu beamed with joy. “You are serious about this. Am I really someone who chooses money over my life? One piece of meat will be 100 thousand dollars. The water is free. My treat!”
Israel unkindly sat down. For some reason, when Israel sat beside Lu Shu, she felt very peaceful. Subconsciously, she felt that it was safer with him.
