Chapter 168: 168: The Scenery Missed
She slightly raised her eyebrows, looking at the tense expression on Wu Lili’s face and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?” It seems like they’re all on the path to getting annihilated.
Wu Lili’s eyes turned red, “They have all gone mad, they actually believed Zhao Jiantao’s words. None of them is willing to leave with me. They even said they are going to bring more people to be a part of this game we’re playing on this island! There are hardly any survivors left outside now! Zhao Jiantao could only find four people including you in the past week. He will eventually get everyone here involved!”
Shen MO chuckled, and a faint contempt was revealed, “There’s indeed hardly anyone left outside. We didn’t come across a single car on our way here. If they insist on staying here, they would eventually bring destruction upon themselves.”
Wu Lili bit her finger, her entire person was steeped in anxious and indignant emotions.
“Who can tell for sure? Maybe they can really find some unlucky souls… Anyway, I can no longer stay here. You guys should leave quickly too; I don’t want to implicate all of you,” she said.
Bai Youwei tilted her head to look at her, “It’s kind of strange, why did your sense of justice suddenly explode? Could it be that you are trying to avenge Zhang Qi?”
Wu Lili was stunned for a second, “I… I don’t know, all I feel is… disgust. I’m utterly disgusted! These people… this island… everything is utterly disgusting!”
She paused for two seconds, and then mumbled in a confusion, “Actually… I’m not much different than them… If it wasn’t for Zhang Qi’s accident, I… would have probably also bought Zhao Jiantao’s words…”
Mentioning Zhang Qi, tears welled up in Wu Lili’s eyes again, she gritted her teeth and said, “I’ve already caused Zhang Qi’s death, I cannot let these people harm others as well!”
Bai Youwei merely laughed nonchalantly, “Then I wish you good luck.”
Wu Lili pursed her lips forcefully, and then anxiously looked outside the door, she felt that she had overstayed, and reminded Bai Youwei one last time, “I have to hurry up and leave, you all should hurry up too.”
After saying this, she hurriedly left.
Around five or six o’clock, Shen MO, Bai Youwei, Tan Xiao, and Professor Cheng left Sanshan Island by boat.
Zhao Jiantao did not show up. He had Sun Wei drive the boat to send them off. Probably because he was wary of Shen MO and Bai Youwei, who had already survived the game once.
After Bai Youwei boarded the boat and learnt that Wu Lili had left the island a step ahead of them, she asked in surprise, “She left on her own?”
Sun Wei nodded his head, with a gloomy look on his robust face, “When Lili first came to the island, she paddled a boat here on her own. Just now, she asked me to help move her luggage onto the boat, and then paddled away.”
Bai Youwei playfully asked him, “You seem to like her quite a bit, why didn’t you go with her?”
Sun Wei’s face blushed uncomfortably, “Go where? It’s so dangerous out there.
She is merely acting on impulse, she will come back sooner or later.”
Bai Youwei just laughed upon hearing this. She wanted to say something more, but then felt there was no need. Since Wu Lili had already made up her mind why should she interfere?
Bai Youwei shut her mouth and casually turned her gaze to the scenery with half-closed eyes.
Shen MO glanced at her and also chose to remain silent.
After the boat docked, Sun Wei returned to Sanshan Island.
Shen MO and the rest returned to the service area.
Their vehicle and luggage were still there, and the pile of firewood had not been moved, suggesting that no one had passed by here these past few days.
The four of them got into the car, ready to set off once again.
As Shen MO turned the car key, he heard Bai Youwei sigh deeply:
He paused and asked, “What’s the matter?”
With her cheek resting on her hand, Bai Youwei looked out of the car window, languidly saying, “I just feel… I’m going to miss a beautiful scene and it makes me a bit melancholic.”
Wu Lili appeared timid and foolish in the game. Everyone on the island thought she was ignorant, even Zhao Jiantao thought he had everything under control. Yet who would have thought, the destinies of everyone had quietly been changed by a woman.
The seeds would grow into a spectacular flower sea within 24 hours. If the people on the island were not quick enough to escape, they would be reduced to nutrients for the flowers. Who knows how long the flowering period would last?
Bai Youwei closed her eyes, envisioning that scene, her lips curling up at the
corners….
