Chapter 1144 1142: The Fox's Tail
The ants circled around Old Zhu a few times.
They realized they couldn't drag him away easily.
Then they returned to their nest to report back.
Soon, a large group of ants lined up and crawled towards Old Zhu.
Seeing the dense swarm of ants, each the size of a small dog, everyone felt a chill down their spine.
It was like living through a disaster movie.
The number of ants.
It was absolutely terrifying.
Soon, Old Zhu was surrounded by ants.
However, Old Zhu wasn't eaten immediately.
Instead, he was lifted by the ants.
They wanted to carry Old Zhu into their nest.
"Old Zhu!" Seeing Old Zhu being carried away, Hu Na immediately wanted to rush out.
But Lv Hongpeng stopped her.
"Don't let Old Zhu die in vain!"
Hu Na was a crying mess.
"Run!" Seeing that all the ants' attention was focused on Old Zhu.
Lv Hongpeng carried the cans and dashed out first.
Others followed suit and ran.
They ran quite a distance.
Finally, they couldn't see any ants.
"Phew, we're safe!" Everyone was gasping for air.
Feeling like they had narrowly escaped death.
It seemed like a bedroom, although covered in dust, it was evident that a woman once lived here.
It was very tidy.
The sheets and duvet were still there.
"Look at this!" The jewelry store saleswoman suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone turned to look.
On the shelf, there were several iron cans!
"Canned food, great!" Lv Hongpeng's face lit up with joy.
With everyone's current size.
One can could last one person one to two months.
There were several cans on the table.
That meant each person could have a can.
Which could last for a very long time.
The longer they could last, the higher the chance of being rescued.
Everyone was thrilled.
Except Hu Na, who looked sad.
Because Lv Hongpeng didn't want to waste food.
So he used Old Zhu as bait.
They could have used the cans as bait.
"Hu Na, don't be sad, after all, no one knew there were so many cans here. Besides, you saw just now, even with Old Zhu distracting those ants, dozens of ants still noticed us. If we didn't run quickly..." Lv Hongpeng explained.
Indeed, if Hu Na had taken Old Zhu along, it would have been impossible to escape the ants.
Perhaps she would have been carried back to the ant nest by now.
With so much food.
Food was no longer a problem.
Finally, everyone had a feast.
Previously, because they didn't know how long they'd have to stay there.
Everyone could only eat 300 grams of food per day.
With their stomachs full, everyone planned to rest for a while.
After all, previously, they were always worried about the ants' attack, so everyone's nerves were tense.
Indeed, they should take a break.
Soon, everyone fell into deep dreams.
No one knew how much time had passed.
The jewelry store saleswoman suddenly sensed a disturbance.
She opened her eyes.
"You..." The saleswoman was about to make a noise.
But Lv Hongpeng covered her mouth.
"You'd better not scream, or I'll kill you." Lv Hongpeng used one hand to cover her mouth.
He held a dagger in his other hand, full of threat.
Looking at the dagger in Lv Hongpeng's hand.
And based on her understanding of Lv Hongpeng, she knew he would do what he said.
Of the women present,
none could challenge Lv Hongpeng.
Additionally, the saleswoman's personality was naturally timid.
She didn't even dare to make a sound.
She didn't dare to offend Lv Hongpeng.
Others were still deep in sleep.
Seemingly unaware of what was happening.
Actually, not everyone was asleep.
One person was still awake.
That was Yan Ling.
She simply didn't make a sound.
She didn't dare to bring trouble upon herself.
