"What!" Everyone immediately surrounded them with great concern.
Luo Xiaole's condition was already so serious, why had she never said anything!
In an instant, various details from their usual interactions flashed before their eyes.
For example, she would occasionally tremble uncontrollably from the cold, her hands would shake, and she would often cover her wrists. But in the often suddenly cold weather, everyone had assumed it was just because she was physically weak.
"Xiaole, I've always considered you my sister. Don't worry, your sister will take care of you from now on." Lin Xia's eyes were a little red.
"Me too... If my sister accepts you, I approve of you as well. I'll protect you from now on!" Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoshui also stepped forward.
"Don't worry, Xiaole. With me, Old Luo here, anyone who bullies you is messing with me. You don't need to lift a finger anymore, and we still have Mo Chen!" Luo Shu tried his best to comfort Luo Xiaole, but he was actually very sad, and his mind wasn't working properly, so his words came out all wrong. Luo Xiaole was amused despite herself.
"Xiaole, without you, I would have been gone long ago. From now on, I'll definitely risk my life to protect you!" Chen Xiaolin declared with great resolve.
After everyone else had spoken, Luo Xiaole was very touched. She quietly turned to look at Mo Chen, a hint of expectation in her eyes.
To her surprise, Mo Chen simply lowered his brows. His perfectly-length bangs cast a deep curve, obscuring his dark, inscrutable eyes.
He had shut out the outside world, his mind racing, trying to find a way to heal her hand.
He also secretly vowed that even if it couldn't be cured, he would be there for her for the rest of their lives, and no one would dare harm her.
His thoughts had twisted and turned a hundred times, his emotions had flowed through eighteen bends, but he showed none of it on his face.
He looked up, his eyes darkening further, with a barely perceptible hint of moisture.
Only then did he notice that Luo Xiaole had pouted her lips and was looking at him with a hint of disappointment.
What had happened?
He was baffled...
Luo Xiaole waved her small hand. It was nothing, she had been overthinking things.
However, no one expected that Luo Xiaole wouldn't show a trace of sadness in her expression. She even grinned heartily and said, "I appreciate your kindness. I know you're all anxious, but don't rush.
Don't worry, I'll be fine."
As long as she collected the weapons, unlocked the space zone, and then unlocked body modifications.
The problem with this sickly body would naturally be solved.
Knowing that Luo Xiaole wouldn't lie, everyone still felt that she was being brave and just trying to comfort them.
"Alright, stop frowning. We collected over 4,000 weapons this time! Isn't that great news!"
The Azure Dragon Gang losing so many weapons, wasn't that great news?
"That's great!"
"Evil gets its due! I wish I could have robbed all their weapons!"
The gloomy mood of the crowd finally eased a little.
"Then where do we go next?"
Luo Xiaole, however, smiled a little sinisterly, "Then shall we fulfill your wish? Let's raid them again!"
"No." Mo Chen flatly refused.
"Xiaole! Your hand is like this, how can you raid!" The others were angry.
"We've already taken enough this time! You should go back and recuperate."
Luo Xiaole, however, smiled mysteriously, "Coming out this time, raiding for supplies wasn't my only objective."
The others exchanged bewildered glances. If not for supplies, what was it for?
"Pi Jiajia had said before that we couldn't infiltrate their stronghold."
"Then let's think of a way to lure them out."
The crowd suddenly came to their senses. "So you kept raiding for supplies to provoke their leader into taking action?"
Luo Xiaole shrugged noncommittally. "Just trying. Even if it doesn't succeed, we still got the supplies. We haven't lost anything."
"Brilliant, truly brilliant," Chen Xiaolin's flattery began immediately.
"Sinister, truly sinister," Luo Shu clicked his tongue, Luo Xiaole was indeed becoming more "wicked"!
And for Luo Xiaole, there was an even more important reason.
Collecting real weapons in the base was too slow. Since she had come out, she naturally wanted to get all the resources she could!
She needed to collect at least ten thousand of them!
Her time was running out.
However, there was a problem now: she didn't know the transportation addresses of other supplies.
Pi Jiajia's communicator had no new messages.
The water ability user, lying on the ground with a bullet wound to his left shoulder and vomiting blood from internal bleeding.
He watched helplessly as Luo Xiaole and her companions discussed for a while.
Then the skinny girl, holding a small knife and with a sly smile, walked towards him step by step.
He instinctively sensed danger.
Xiao Douya walked up to him and spoke, her hand trembling, the knife in her hand looking wobbly.
"If it's convenient, could you tell me where the other supplies being transported today are located?" Luo Xiaole asked with a smile.
"Impossible!" The water ability user's eyes were filled with hatred.
"Not convenient? Then never mind," Luo Xiaole said, her voice surprising.
"It's not convenient for me to hold a knife right now either. If it accidentally drops somewhere, I can't guarantee anything, you know." Her voice trailed off.
Immediately, her hand hovered directly above the person. The tip of the knife in her hand shook with her violently trembling hand, pointing at the person's chest, then at his head, then at his... lower body...
As she watched, her trembling hand was about to lose its grip on the knife, and the handle was about to slip out of her grasp at any moment.
"!!!" For someone who couldn't move, this was torture!
"I... I'll tell you! Put the knife away!" The water ability user swallowed hard, his face already pale.
He silently shed tears of regret, "If you have Parkinson's, go get it treated,呜呜呜!"
"Today, at the first gas station at the entrance of the mountain road, there's... there's another supply transaction..." He reluctantly bit his lower lip and revealed the location.
"Not bad, not bad. Come with us. If the situation is confirmed, we'll consider letting you go." Luo Xiaole was being cautious.
Then, slowly, like a hundred-year-old grandmother, she shakily put the knife back into her pocket.
"Hoo..." Only then did the person dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
Luo Xiaole then took out a few more guns and magazines from her space, giving them to her companions for self-defense.
They tied the ability user up securely, then knocked him unconscious with a chop, tossed him into the trunk, and drove away.
...
At the Azure Dragon Gang's main base.
"My eyelids have been twitching all day..." Brother Cheng touched his flat top haircut and downed the remaining champagne in his glass.
He paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
"Have the other supplies arrived today?" he asked uneasily.
"Re... Report, Vice Leader. Other supplies are being transported normally. Only one team of ability users transporting supplies through the port has exceeded the deadline without reporting their whereabouts, and communication has been lost."
"What?" Cheng Miao stomped his foot heavily.
"Call some space ability users and take me there!"
"Yes!"
After a ripple of water, Cheng Miao arrived at the port with two people.
Seeing the mess at the scene, he almost exploded in rage, completely losing the "elegant" image he usually maintained.
He had lost his composure!
"Damn it, who is it! Who has such strength, and also gets our internal information, and dares to strike directly at us..." His eyes were filled with gloom.
"Head... Head..." The earth ability user next to him called out feebly.
A moment later.
"What did you say, a little bean sprout? Damn it, could it be that Luo Xiaole?" Cheng Miao's mind immediately conjured the image of that skinny girl who looked like a sack.
He was grinding his back teeth.
He roared almost in fury, "Mobilize the nearby armed forces, target: the gas station!"
