Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 746: Narrow Road Encounter

    

e paid their grain taxes, but they had almost no reserves, and many people died of starvation.And while the Panlong Kingdom, Xuanwu Kingdom, and Baihu Kingdom seized the opportunity, they proposed exc...Lian Ri took out a diving mask and a small oxygen tank from his backpack, showing that he could dive to greater depths.

"So, Mingzi, Lianyi and I will dive down, Zhaojia you stay on the rubber dinghy to keep watch. We'll pull the rope when we're ready, and you'll haul us up. If something unexpected happens and you can't handle it, just pull the rope, and we'll float back up."

Li Qian arranged things neatly.

"Okay, be careful!"

Li Qian used a rope to tie the three of them together. If something happened, it would be convenient for them to help each other.

Then the three of them jumped into the water swiftly, and slowly dove down.

Because the rain kept falling non-stop, the water became murky and visibility was poor. After they dove down and could touch the bottom with their feet, they searched for a long time before finally finding the gas filling station. The door was locked.

Liàn Yī took a breath of oxygen, making herself feel less uncomfortable, and swam over. Lǐ Qiān and Yuán Chōngmíng were trying to figure out how to open the door; they were carrying oxygen, so their movements were relatively smooth.

Two people tinkered for a long time but couldn't open the roller shutter door. Finally, they decided to break it down by force. Ripples couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she walked over, patted both of them on the shoulders, then used a steel knife to pry open a gap, just enough for her to insert her finger. With a slight effort, she lifted the roller shutter door.

The door swung open, and one by one, green gas cylinders floated out. Ripple reacted fastest, her wrist flicking, a death silk already shot out, wrapping around the gas cylinders and preventing them from being swept away by the water.

Yuan Chongming and Li Qian also quickly used another rope to thread through the handles of the gas cylinders, stringing them all together.

Ripple took the opportunity to collect some gas tanks into the space, and then untied the ropes that were tied together. The first one surfaced was hers; her oxygen tank was the smallest, so she had to conserve it. She strung eight gas tanks together, enough for her use.

Zhao Jia's gaze flitted between the water surrounding the boat and her ears cocked to listen for any sounds from afar. She waited anxiously for the three people, her grip on the rope unwavering. As soon as ripples appeared, she blurted out:

"Ripples, what's going on down there"

"I found a CNG station, I'm going up first, the other two still need to connect a few more."

"Is there any gas inside"

Zhao Jia Bian asked, while reaching out to pull Lian Yi.

"I don't know either, just pull one up and see what's inside."

Ripples are truly unknown.

After getting onto the inflatable raft, ripples pulled a gas cylinder up from the water. She twisted it gently, and a pungent odor of gas emerged from the opening.

"That works!"

"Shall we take the dinghy"

Zhao looked and asked.

"No, it's faster and easier to drag it through the water. If we lifted it up, I bet we wouldn't have anywhere to sit."

"Indeed!"

Zhao Jia nodded, then her ears twitched. The little black cat nestled in her backpack also meowed twice.

Someone is here!

Ripples frowned, she heard the sound of a speedboat.

"Uh, be careful!"

Five minutes later, a white speedboat stopped not far from the two of them. There were seven people on board, all tall and muscular adult men. They were sizing each other up, and the other two were sizing them up as well.

"Big brother, you're so lucky today, you actually ran into two beautiful little girls!"

A rather sleazy-looking man whispered into the boss's ear.

"So what are you waiting for Bring them here! And see what supplies they found. Bring those along too, as their joining fee."

The man spoke directly.

Okay!

The wretched man, after bowing down, immediately turned his head and loudly said to Lianri and the others:

"You two are lucky, our big brother happened to be out here and met you. Follow us, we have a safe place to stay. All your supplies will belong to us, and we'll distribute them evenly later."

What if we don't want to

Zhao Jia said coldly.

"You slut! You dare to reject our Brother Hui Are you tired of living If it weren't for the fact that you two are still somewhat pretty, we wouldn't even bother with your lives!"

"You're all so ugly, how can you still daydream"

Liàn Yī deliberately said.

"Brothers, bring them over here, let's have some fun today!"

That man named Hui Ge waved his hand and said.

Thank you, big brother!

The men on the speedboat immediately glared at Ripple and Zhao Jia with blazing eyes.

"Ripple, when they get closer, we'll see what to do!"

"Okay, I think their Clippers are pretty good!"

Ripple is interested in the Clippers.

"It looks good to me!"

Zhao Jia instantly understood the meaning of ripples. Both of them had their eyes on the speedboat.

As the speedboat approached, those men couldn't wait any longer and jumped over.

"Don't come here! Don't come any closer!"

Ripple said it intentionally, then climbed onto the speedboat. A mocking laugh followed her.

"Little beauty, why didn't you do this earlier"

The wretch's words were cut short as Ren twisted his neck, then casually tossed him into the water.

"Zhao Jiajie, kill them! They eat people!"

While speaking with ripples, he already took a step forward to the boss's face and directly punched the other person in the belly. The opponent didn't even have time to counterattack before being stuck between two rows of chairs, unable to move.

Zhao Jia's face darkened, and she immediately engaged the other three people who rushed over. However, she was alone, and the inflatable raft was unstable. She grabbed the rope and jumped into the water, flipping the raft over.

The only man on the speedboat saw that something was wrong and immediately twisted the key, preparing to escape, but he was shot in the chest by ripples with a crossbow.

You

When the man fell, his eyes were wide open, filled with unwillingness and regret.

At this time, Yuan Chongming and Li Jian in the water also sensed the tug of the rope. The two cooperated seamlessly, one pulling up the rolling door, and the other surfacing to meet their teammates.

As soon as Yuan Chongming surfaced, he saw Zhao Jia and four others fighting in the water. He swam over and grabbed one person's ankle, pulling them straight down. The other party had no diving mask or oxygen tank and couldn't hold on for long.

When Li Qian came up, he followed suit and dragged another person down. At this time, Zhao Jia choked a man's neck, while Lian Yi had already controlled the speedboat. She took out her crossbow and aimed at another man who popped up. With a quick, accurate shot, she hit him.

After doing all of that, she immediately jumped into the water to pull in the rubber dinghy which was floating away. It was an important means of transportation, along with her backpack and the little black cat inside.

That is, the ripple's power was strong. She swam out five hundred meters before she could save both the rubber dinghy and the black cat. When she dragged the rubber dinghy back, Yuan Chongming had already come to meet her.

"Ripples, this way!"

Ripple heard the voice and rose to the surface, waving her hand. The two met halfway.

"Brother Yuan, are the rest taken care of"

"It's settled, Zhao's family and Team Li are waiting for us on the speedboat."

When the two arrived, Li Jian had already pulled the big boss out from the crack in the seat and was waking him up to ask questions.on their birthdays was already considered a great blessing."As a father, I have failed you. I wasn't able to protect you and your sisters, which led to all of you leaving home at such a young age and...
