Two men were laughing heartily while urinating, and amidst the laughter, the joking Big Guy quietly said, "What do you think the boss wants us to do?"
The teased man, who was slimmer and had shifty eyes, glanced back to ensure the two remaining people in the car weren't looking before he replied softly, "Don't you understand what the boss means?"
Big Guy adjusted his pants and scratched his head. "I really don't know what the boss means."
The Sly-eyed Man cautiously raised his right hand and made a horizontal cutting gesture, then said calmly, "The culvert up ahead caught fire yesterday and there were explosions. It must have been caused by other Survivors. They made such a big commotion; who knows how many people and guns they have? We're just here to scout. If there are any casualties during our operation, it's inevitable, you know?"
Big Guy nodded. "If you had said that earlier, I would have understood!"
Shifty Eyes smiled wryly. "With someone like you, I'm afraid you'll give us away and mess things up!"
"I'll listen to you; whatever you say goes!" Big Guy turned and walked back to the car while Sly-eyed Man muttered under his breath, "Good! Just follow my lead when the time comes!"
Sly-eyed Man shivered one last time before pulling up his pants. At that moment, Mo Xiaohui, who was crouched in the bushes, accidentally snapped a small dry twig with her arm, making a loud crack.
Hearing a noise behind him, Big Guy turned around and jumped back several steps. He said to the man beside him, "It seems there's some movement in those bushes up ahead. Could it be someone hiding?"
Rogue-eyed Man glanced over and saw a small patch of dark yellow bushes lying alone beneath a residential building. He chuckled and said, "Who cares if there’s someone? Let’s go take a look!"
Big Guy rolled up his sleeves and moved closer while Rogue-eyed Man reached back with his right hand, clearly preparing to draw his gun.
Li Nan in the bushes felt a chill run down his spine as the two men approached inch by inch, clearly not coming with good intentions.
Mo Xiaohui silently blamed herself for being so useless; why did she always mess things up at critical moments? This was bad; what should they do now that those two were coming closer?
Mo Xiaohui exchanged glances with Li Nan, who firmly grasped her hand and mouthed, "I'll rush out to distract them, then you and Li Da Peng can run!"
Mo Xiaohui shook her head in denial. "No! You can't take the risk alone. If it comes down to it, we’ll charge out together and fight them!"
Li Nan said with a bitter smile: “They have guns!”
Just as Li Nan was unaware, the two men had already pushed to the edge of the bushes and were about to test the waters when suddenly a parrot jumped out from the bushes, flapping its wings and flying away on its own.
Big Guy saw a large bird jump out in front of him and laughed, “Turns out it’s just an animal, gave me a scare!”
Sly-eyed Man was suspicious, “How could there be a parrot here?”
“It’s just a bird. Maybe it was released by someone or escaped from somewhere, just like us!” Big Guy said. After turning around, he noticed that the people in the car were getting anxious, so he added, “Hurry up, don’t make the people inside mad!”
Rogue-eyed Man shook his head, “I doubt there’s anything strange here; we should focus on serious matters!”
As they spoke, the two men had already turned back and got into the car.
Rogue-eyed Man took the passenger seat while Big Guy sat in the back. The driver inside shouted loudly, “It takes forever just to take a leak?”
The person in the passenger seat laughed, “Brother Hai, you know my prostate issues—frequent urges and not being able to empty it completely. I could advertise for Prostate Health at this rate! What do you think we should do?”
Laughter filled the car among the men, while Rogue-eyed Man exchanged glances with Big Guy behind him.
After seeing that Honda CRV drive away, Li Nan and his companions cautiously crawled out from the bushes.
Mo Xiaohui patted his chest and said, “That was close! We almost got discovered!”
Li Nan crouched down by the roadside and confirmed that the Honda CRV had driven far away before he said with lingering fear, “Thank goodness that parrot was clever; otherwise, we would have been in danger!”
Li Dapeng laughed and said, “I pinched that parrot’s butt to make it fly up!”
It turned out that the parrot had been perched on Mo Xiaohui's shoulder all along. When Mo Xiaohui panicked and crouched in the bushes earlier, the parrot followed him and landed in a pile of leaves next to Li Dapeng.
At that moment, Li Dapeng realized the urgency of the situation and thought of the parrot, which led to his quick thinking that helped him get through it.
Li Nan patted Li Dapeng on the shoulder, saying, "Well done!"
Li Dapeng smiled lightly, "It's nothing. I've been on my own for so many years; if I didn't have some quick wits, I wouldn't have survived!"
At this time, Mo Xiaohui felt a warmth in her heart. "Now you are not alone anymore; you have us. We are family!"
"Since we are family, there's no need for formality!" Li Dapeng smiled broadly, while the parrot circling in the sky suddenly descended, seemingly trying to avoid Li Dapeng.
Mo Xiaohui laughed and said, "It's okay; we are all family now, and we're together again!"
Li Nan stood by the roadside, pondering the identities of those four people and what the conversation between the two who had just let water go meant.
For a moment, things became even more confusing!
In fact, there were many hidden meanings in the conversation between those two people. For example, they appeared here because of yesterday's fire, and the "big brother" they mentioned seemed to harbor no goodwill towards their own people, much like the dead person in that building. It was clear that the Rogue-eyed Man and Big Guy were also plotting against their own people. It seemed that those guys were ruthless not only to outsiders but also to their own.
Thinking of this, Li Nan felt an even stronger urge to leave. "I absolutely cannot stay here any longer. While they haven't noticed me yet, I need to get out quickly!"
*********************************
In the Honda CR-V, as they reached the culvert area, the Rogue-eyed Man sitting in the passenger seat shouted, "Not good! Something has changed!"
Big Guy responded from the back seat, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
The Rogue-eyed Man leaned out of the car window to look behind them and said, "Mighty Bull, look! That big bird that flew out from under that residential building just now is flying back!"
The person referred to as Mighty Bull was indeed the large man; he also leaned out and saw the parrot flapping its wings as it returned near that residential building.
The person sitting in the driver's seat was unconcerned, saying, "What's the big deal? It's just a bird!"
The Rogue-eyed Man chuckled, "Brother Hai, I suspect the person who set the fire here yesterday is hiding in that building where we just parked."
In the side mirror of the Honda CRV, a round head was reflected, which belonged to Brother Hai.
Brother Hai got out of the driver's seat and then placed his hand on his waist as he approached the culvert. Aside from a few severed hands and feet, there was nothing else to be found.
Turning around, Brother Hai saw that the Rogue-eyed Man was right behind him and asked, "Mouse, what do you think?"
Mouse smiled, "We both know what's in that culvert. Anyone capable of dealing with that big guy is definitely not an ordinary person!"
Brother Hai nodded, "What about that residential building we just passed?"
The person referred to as Mouse recounted what had happened in the bushes, along with the large bird that had flown back. Now Brother Hai could confirm that something strange was indeed going on over there!
"Let's go! We need to check it out!"
Mouse still smiled, "At this rate, they might have already left!"
Brother Hai remained unfazed, "Even if they've left, they must have left some traces. We need to at least figure out their pattern. Don't forget what the Host sent us here to do!"
Mouse nodded, "I certainly won't forget Boss's orders!" He emphasized the last word heavily.
Brother Hai adjusted his waistband and then got back into the car, telling the remaining two, "The other party doesn't come with good intentions; we need to be fully alert!"
Mighty Bull agreed, while the person sitting at the back simply nodded without speaking.
Brother Hai got into the car and pressed down on the gas pedal, reversing until they reached the bottom of the residential building in no time.
Brother Hai was the first to get out of the car. He touched the bushes downstairs and after some thought, he said, "The leaves show signs of being trampled, and judging by the size, there are two adults and one child. So your earlier guess was correct!"
Brother Hai turned to Rat and said this, while Rat scratched his head, "Where did they go? Did they take the opportunity to escape or are they hiding in this building?"
Brother Hai rubbed his round head and then spoke to the last person, "Bitter Melon, you've done reconnaissance before. Can you see if there are any other traces around here?"
The person called Bitter Melon truly lived up to his name, as he had a bitter expression that gave off a gloomy feeling.
Upon hearing Brother Hai's command, Bitter Melon immediately searched around the entire building for a moment and then calmly said, "They didn't leave. I suspect they eventually returned to this building!"
Brother Hai looked back at Rat and Mighty Bull, then stared at Bitter Melon for a while. Although this building seemed ordinary and there were only three people in that group, he had to think carefully about whether there would be a chance to leave once they entered. He didn't want to become a ghost!
"Even if others have ill intentions, I believe Bitter Melon won't harm me!" Brother Hai thought to himself and then said to Mighty Bull, "You lead the way; we'll follow behind!"
Mighty Bull made a creaking sound and then looked at Rat, who muttered under his breath, "What a dead man! Brother Hai told you to lead; why don't you go?"
Mighty Bull understood and slowly moved into the building with his massive frame.
