Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

"How can there be such a small luminous pearl!" Wuxie took the fat man's hand and said in surprise, "This is obviously a bug!"

The fat man was also shocked when he heard about bugs. He thought of the zombie king he met in Prince Lu's palace and asked quickly: "What bug?!"

"Neither do I..." Before Wuxie could finish his words, he felt an itch in his neck, as if something was crawling around in his collar.

Wu Xie stretched out his hand and grabbed it fiercely. What appeared in his hand was the same insect as the one on top. They used the green light of the insect to see what it was.

This insect is as long as a hand, with very long tentacles on the front and back. The body is elongated into nine sections, each section has a small green light spot, and the densely packed feet are covered with hairs.

Wu Xie coldly threw the bug away and shook off the goosebumps on his body: "This thing is a cricket."

Fatty and Ye Cheng had heard of this thing. Crickets are very evil things. Any place they crawl over will rot inexplicably, and they can even burrow into people's ears.

The two of them also felt a chill, and there were more and more crickets above their heads. Even around where they were standing, there were many crickets crawling on everyone.

The three of them quickly stamped their feet to knock the bugs off their bodies and started running forward again.

Densely crowded crickets followed closely, and finally Shunzi, who woke up, rescued the three people who were surrounded by insects.

Zhang Qiling took advantage of the chaos and left Wuxie's group. He followed the mark left by Tan Yuchen to the stone statue. There were a lot of stone statues here, so it took Zhang Qiling some time to see the pattern on the paw of one of the stone statues.

The pattern is a simple drawing of a chicken. The chicken stands upright, one wing makes a salute, the other wing points in a direction, and there is a scrawled dust mark in the lower right corner.

A few strokes can clearly show the perfunctory attitude from the owner.

If Zhang Qiling hadn't been used to Qin Yuchen's strange markings, he would have been thinking for a while after seeing this little thing with only a circle as its head, a triangle as its mouth, and four sevens as its limbs.

As for the scrawled word "chen", there is no need to say more.

Zhang Qiling thought that the symbols along the way were either fish and turtles, or cats and chickens, and couldn't understand why Qin Yuchen didn't have a unified symbol.

He felt helpless, sighed and followed the direction pointed by the chicken.

……

Along the way, Zhang Qiling found a few scattered marks, and the patterns became more and more scrawled as he went back. In the end, it was not easy to find Wu Sansheng's hiding place.

But except for Wu Sansheng, who looked a little pitiful, Zhang Qiling didn't see the person who said he would wait for him where he was.

Zhang Qiling nodded to Wu Sansheng as a greeting, then took a flashlight and looked around, trying to find if there were any other patterns.

However there is none.

"..."

Zhang Qiling took a deep breath and turned off the flashlight and hid himself in the darkness, preventing the person behind him who kept looking around from seeing his current situation.

It’s not surprising, Zhang Qiling thought.

When he saw Wu Sansheng, he vaguely felt that Tan Yuchen was not here, but he still looked for other signs.

Zhang Qiling thought of someone at the foot of the snow-capped mountains with a serious face as if he was talking about something big, and suppressed the irritability that suddenly rose in his heart, and it turned out that this was indeed the case.

Zhang Qiling sighed helplessly, thinking that Tan Yuchen would not be like this normally. In this situation, he would only look at him seriously when he asked for help or asked him for something, and then promised to do whatever he wanted.

According to the past, Zhang Qiling would not have such emotions as irritability, but this time it rarely made him feel nervous, and he always felt that something was about to happen.

Zhang Qiling blinked and thought carefully, then he turned around in a panic, said a simple word to Wu Sansheng, and got into a dark passage.

Wu San Sheng: "..."

Wu Sansheng immediately rolled his eyes, saying that he didn't understand what this man was going to do in a hurry.

Tan Yuchen hid behind a big stone with blood on his face, listening to the movements of those people outside.

Tan Yuchen originally chatted with 007 and headed to the Bronze Gate, but when he came to a place full of caves on the stone wall, he met a group of people.

There should be twelve or three people in this group. Everyone was carrying a mountaineering bag and a submachine gun. They were all tightly wrapped in black down jackets. When they saw Qin Yuchen, they seemed to confirm it for a few seconds and then said nothing. Just shoot.

Tan Yuchen reacted quickly and stepped into the small gap when he came in, thus missing the attack of the group of people.

He turned off the flashlight, threw away his backpack, and leaned against the wall, completely hiding himself in the enemy's blind spot, and waited until a good opportunity came before taking action.

Qin Yuchen installed a silencer on his pistol, and after the people who came in first slowly dispersed to find his location, he quickly covered the mouth of the last person, put it against his temple, and fired a shot.

Blood mixed with brains spurted out instantly. Tan Yuchen threw the body away in disgust and hid behind a big rock while the others came to their senses and shot.

The sound of bullets cutting through the air and hitting the rocks filled his ears. Qin Yuchen wiped the bloody wounds on his face from the bullets and sighed in his heart that these people were really rich.

He can't stand out now, but fortunately there is a lot of space here. Except for the place illuminated by the group of people, the rest of the place is in darkness, and there are big rocks everywhere, which can be very good. Qin Yuchen kept changing positions.

He took out two of them through the gap between the group of people changing magazines, and then continued to hide behind the rocks without making a sound.
