“Do you need me to do something?” Chun Cao’s voice came through the private channel. “Or should I talk to Xiao Si Nan and have him apologize to you?”
Zhou Rong held his breath lightly. After a moment, he heard Yan Hao’s muffled bitter laugh. “No, what does it have to do with Si Nan? He only hurts people because he’s telling the truth.”
After a long time, the sound of a babbling brook suddenly became clear, probably indicating they had reached the bottom of the canyon. Chun Cao’s voice came through the earpiece, “Rong Ge? Are you there?
Zhou Rong glanced around. “Keep your voice down. Can Yan Hao hear?”
“No, he’s in front. We’re almost at the gathering point.”
“Does he show any signs of mutating into a man-eating flower?”
“Not yet, but who knows… I think his mood isn’t great…”
“Keep him in the dog’s tail flower state. Don’t trigger the man-eating flower mode,” Zhou Rong said gravely. “Later, I’ll have Xiao Si Nan come to the communication room to chat with him.”
Chun Cao replied, “Understood. Oh! I see Da Ding and Xiang Zi! We’re almost at the gathering point. We’ll talk later!”
On a small rocky beach in the canyon, yellow smoke signals rose into the sky. Zombies were densely packed around, more than a hundred. Tang Hao had clearly been through a fierce battle. His parachute hung on a nearby treetop, his body splattered with black blood and rotten flesh, exhaustedly kneeling by the stream and cupping water to wash his face.
Over a dozen team members had already gathered. Guo Weixiang saw the two of them and was shocked: “Team flower! What happened to your face? Did you land face-first?”
Chun Cao immediately tried to signal him to shut up. Immediately after, Ding Shi, carrying a gun, walked through the rocky beach.
Looking up, his expression changed dramatically: “Deputy team! What happened to your face? Did you land face-first?”
Yan Hao: “…”
Chun Cao forcibly dragged them away by their necks. Yan Hao went to the small stream to wash the dried blood from his face. Just as he squatted down, Tang Hao unexpectedly looked up, and their eyes met.
After five seconds of eerie silence, Yan Hao coldly said, “Face first…”
