    The atmosphere on the field suddenly changed.

    Zhang Jie subconsciously wanted to hide behind Ah Qing, but she restrained herself. She was very scared. If Qiao Qiao hadn’t held her hand in time, she might have fainted by now.

    “Don’t be nervous.” The thin man took a few steps forward with a lewd smile. “I won’t hit women. As long as you hand over the food, I promise to let you go.”

    There are four men on the opposite side, and there are only three on Qiao Qiao’s side. The only one who can be considered as fighting is Ah Qing. No matter how you look at it, it is a losing situation.

    Ah Qing’s face turned red and white, and finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: “Do you mean what you say?”

    “Of course.” The thin man spread his hands, “There is a lack of medical treatment and medicine in this ruined maze, and it is no good to anyone if everything is destroyed.”

    At this point, there was no point in resisting, so Qiao Qiao had no choice but to hand the remaining half of the durian to the thin man.

    To be honest, she had never been in so much pain when exchanging gold bars for batteries before.

    If I had known this, the three of them would have just eaten all the durians, which would have been better than taking advantage of others.

    As soon as the thin man saw the durian, his eyes started to light up. He and his three companions ate all the remaining durians, and even licked their lips after eating.

    Qiao Qiao winked at A Qing and Zhang Jie, and the three of them left quietly.

    “What are you in a hurry for?” A tall man suddenly stood in front of the three of them, “I’m a little thirsty after eating, can you leave some water for us?”

    He was referring to the small half bottle of mineral water hanging on Qiao Qiao’s waist.

    Ah Qing was so angry that his eyes were red: “Didn’t you agree to let us go after taking the durian?”

    “I’m not letting you go. My legs are on you, so how can I care about them?” The thin man chuckled, with a strong hint of threat.

    Ah Qing: “Don’t bully others too much!”

    “How about you come and make me happy?” The men laughed, “As long as you feel comfortable serving us, let alone water, we will share the food with you.”

    Ah Qing’s face turned pale with anger, and Qiao Qiao secretly squeezed her hand. There were dangers in the maze, so if you can’t afford conflicts, you should stay away from them as much as possible. Besides, physical strength is the most precious thing now.

    “I can give you water, but I have conditions.” Qiao Qiao stared at the thin man with an expressionless face.

    “Little girl, look at the situation clearly. Are you qualified to negotiate terms with us?”

    “We really can’t beat you.” Qiao Qiao said leisurely, “But don’t forget, rabbits will bite people when they are anxious. The probability of us going out is very low anyway, so it’s not a loss if we can drag a few backers with us.”

    “Just you guys?” The thin man smiled sinisterly, “Is the guy in the back almost fainting from fright?”

    He was talking about Zhang Jie.

    When Zhang Jie heard that someone was calling her name, her body shook even more, and Ah Qing had to free up a hand to support her.

    “Yes, it’s just us.” Qiao Qiao said, “You are right about one thing. There is a shortage of medical treatment in the maze. We don’t have to kill you, as long as you can be injured and bleed.”

    The thin man’s expression changed.

    “What conditions do you want to put forward?”

    Qiao Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other person was not a fool and understood her hint.

    “It’s very simple. We have to get to the fork in the road before we can give you water.” Qiao Qiao said, “You have broken your promise once. You must give us a guarantee before we can give you water.”

    “Yes!” Ah Qing interjected, “If we give you water and you ask for equipment, won’t we lose our lives?”

    The thin man said coldly: “Then how do I know if you are going to run away?”

    Qiao Qiao: “You four men, are you afraid that you can’t catch up with us three women? Besides-”

    She pointed at Zhang Jie: “She’s not scared, she’s sick. She’s had a high fever since entering the maze. She can’t run fast, and we won’t abandon her.”

    Zhang Jie immediately cooperated and pretended to be dizzy. I have to say that her acting skills were quite good.

    Several men looked at each other and murmured together a few more times. The thin man said, “Well, if you dare to play tricks, you will definitely regret it.”

    So Qiao Qiao took off the mineral water bottle from his waist, held it in his hand to ensure that the thin man could see it, and then moved to the fork in the road with Ah Qing and Zhang Jie.

    As long as they enter the fork in the road and plunge into the maze, they will be safe.

    “I’ll put the water here.” Qiao Qiao slowly put the water bottle at her feet. Behind her was the fork in the road. Ah Qing and Zhang Jie had already entered first.

    “Wait a minute.” The thin man narrowed his eyes, “What’s under your clothes?”

    Qiao Qiao looked down and realized that something was wrong. It turned out that she had been hanging the remaining two gold bars on her body with ropes. She could usually cover them with clothes, but when she squatted together just now, half of the gold bars were exposed.

    Gold is so special in nature that it is almost impossible to mistake it. Qiao Qiao’s heart was pounding. Seeing that the thin man had walked over, she immediately shouted: “Run!”

    The thin man’s roar sounded almost at the same time: “His grandma’s is gold! Catch them!”

    The man’s explosive power was astonishing. Besides, they were only four or five steps away from Qiao Qiao. As soon as Qiao Qiao turned around, he felt a strong wind blowing behind his head. The tall man, with his long legs and long feet, actually rushed over!

    At the critical moment, someone grabbed Qiao Qiao’s collar and pulled her up violently.

    It’s Ah Qing!

    Thanks to Ah Qing’s tug, she narrowly avoided being attacked by the man behind her. Before she had time to think, she followed Ah Qing and ran wildly through the maze. She turned countless corners, but in short, there was no sound at all behind her.

    “Are you okay?” Zhang Jie turned on the flashlight.

    Qiao Qiao was panting heavily from exhaustion. In fact, they didn’t run very far. There were many forks in the maze, so as long as they took a few turns, they would be safe.But she had two gold bars tied around her waist, which hurt her a lot when she ran. In her panic, she didn’t have time to take them off, so she had to run with the gold bars all the way.

    Fortunately, there are only two left. One weighs almost 10 kilograms, and it’s hard to feel tired with a 20 kilogram weight on my body.

    Ah Qing was even more tired, with three sticks hanging on her body. Fortunately, she was quite strong, and she would feel better after a while.

    “Fortunately, we didn’t encounter any trap.” Qiao Qiao was still frightened. “It seems that the probability of traps appearing is low.”

    “No…” Zhang Jie said sheepishly, “I chose the path we have taken. It’s safer this way.”

    Qiao Qiao’s eyes widened when he heard this: “Can you remember the road?”

    “The maze is too complicated. I can only remember about a hundred meters, but I can’t remember more than a hundred meters. My father used to drive a taxi, and he often took me to solicit customers. When I have nothing to do, I like to count intersections. After a long time, I know how to memorize the directions.”

    “Great!” Qiao Qiao was excited, “A hundred meters is enough. At least it saved our lives just now.”

    Zhang Jie smiled shyly: “I can’t always hold you back.”

    The three of them rested on the spot for a while. The torment just now consumed much of their physical strength and water. They could no longer enjoy themselves as before and had to find water and food as soon as possible.

    “Hello.”

    After turning a few more corners, Ah Qing suddenly stopped.

    “Is this an agency?”

    When Qiao Qiao heard this, he immediately moved over. Zhang Jie stuffed another battery into the flashlight, and the narrow space suddenly became brighter.

    Following Ah Qing’s finger, Qiao Qiao saw a protruding arrow appearing on the wall.

    She subconsciously held her breath.

    “There’s one here too.” Zhang Jie pointed to the opposite wall.

    There are six arrows in total, embedded in the wall about one and a half meters high, three on each side. There is a stone brick with a slightly larger gap on the ground. Qiao Qiao puts his hand on it and can feel that the brick is movable.

    “If you accidentally step on this brick, the arrows on both sides will shoot out, enough to pierce someone into a sieve.” Ah Qing was still frightened.

    “Fortunately, although this kind of mechanism is hidden, you can find it if you look carefully.” Qiao Qiao is used to thinking on the bright side of things. “We should pay more attention to the walls when walking in the future.”

    The three of them carefully stepped over the movable stone brick and continued forward.

    They didn’t know if their good luck had run out today, but after walking another twenty steps or so, they turned a corner and bumped head-on with the thin man and the others!

    The thin man obviously didn’t expect Liu Yin Hua Ming to come to another village. He almost laughed out loud. He waved a long knife in his hand and said proudly: “You brought this to your door yourself. Don’t blame me if you die.”

    Qiao Qiao secretly grabbed a gold bar under his clothes.

    “We are unlucky.” She said as she stepped back. Zhang Jie and Ah Qing changed their positions in a tacit understanding, ensuring that Zhang Jie would be the first to find the way when they escaped.

    “Stop talking nonsense and take out your things?” The thin man waved the long knife.

    “Right here.” Qiao Qiao showed a gold bar and threw it hard, “Catch it!”

    Without checking whether she was hit or not, she turned around and ran away. The thin man yelled from behind, and it seemed that she was hit.

    But this time it was even more impossible for them to let Qiao Qiao and the others go. The taller one once again took the lead. Because the distance was too close, he almost caught Qiao Qiao’s hair.

    Qiao Qiao didn’t dare to look back and ran as fast as she could. Fortunately, the maze was narrow and the man couldn’t move through it, which gave her a chance to breathe. Qiao Qiao immersed herself in chasing A Qing’s back. As she ran, she heard A Qing shout: “Jump!”

    This shouting was confusing, but Qiao Qiao understood it instantly. In the flash of lightning, she didn’t have time to think too much. She jumped up reflexively and jumped over the moving brick.

    The tall guy behind him was not so lucky. He stepped on the mechanism, and the arrows on the wall shot out and pierced his chest. The tall guy screamed and died on the spot.

    When his companions saw that the tall man was dead for some reason, none of them dared to come forward and dispersed.

    Only when the surroundings returned to silence did Qiao Qiao and Ah Qing dare to go over and check.

    “Really dead.” Ah Qing took a breath, “Is this arrow so powerful?”

    “One of them happened to be inserted right into the heart.” Qiao Qiao shook his head.

    After being baptized in the playground in front of them, several people were a little numb to death. Zhang Jie pulled the big man’s clothes and helped him cover his face.

    After searching the big man’s body, we found that he actually had a lot of good things, including a short dagger, two batteries, and most importantly, a bottle of gasoline.

    Ah Qing accepted them all unceremoniously, giving the battery to Zhang Jie, the dagger to Qiao Qiao, and hanging the gasoline on his waist.

    Qiao Qiao looked at her: “Aren’t you tired? You still have three gold bars on you, right?”

    “It’s a joke, I have been training for the insect fighting competition for more than half a year. Besides, this is a gold bar. I can carry ten more.”

    Qiao Qiao looked at Zhang Jie again: “You don’t seem to be very tired?”

    Zhang Jie: “Well, I worked at a construction site for a while to treat my father’s illness.”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    No wonder these two people can run very fast even though they carry twenty or thirty kilograms of weight. It turns out that the real weakling is me!
