687: Chapter 685: Scared the Baby to Death (11th Update)
And the few remaining workers also lacked energy, their zeal for work far from high.
The processing factory was going to close down in a few days—it would be strange if there was any enthusiasm.
“Why are there so few workers here?” Wang Dadong was puzzled and approached to ask the few workers.
An uncle stopped his work and lit a dry cigarette before he sighed and said, “Once we finish processing this last batch of Iron Tree Flowers, the factory will close down, of course there’s hardly anyone left.”
Wang Dadong felt even more curious, “Why close down?
Aren’t the Iron Tree Flowers from Iron Tree Village always in high demand?
There’s a large market need.”
The uncle took a drag of his dry cigarette and slowly said, “Iron Tree Flowers are valuable, but what can you do if you can’t harvest them?”
“Doesn’t Iron Tree Village have more than one hundred thousand pillars of Iron Trees?
How can it be that you can’t harvest the Iron Tree Flowers?
Could it be that there’s sothing wrong with the Iron Trees?” Wang Dadong asked.
The uncle shook his head, “There’s nothing wrong with the Iron Tree Flowers—the problem is that no one dares to go harvest them.”
“What’s going on?” Long Qiuyu was also sowhat puzzled, as far as she knew, harvesting Iron Tree Flowers wasn’t difficult.
The uncle suddenly looked more serious and whispered to everyone, “I don’t know what’s going on.
Lately, Iron Tree Forest has been very unsettled.
Many villagers who went to harvest didn’t return, and even those who did co back…”
“Oh?
Did they encounter so wild beast?” Wang Dadong frowned.
The uncle’s expression turned a bit strange as he whispered, “Not wild beasts—people, no, not exactly people either.
I don’t know what they are really…”
The uncle’s words left everyone a bit confused.
“Follow
and you’ll understand.” The uncle stood up and led the way.
Everyone followed the uncle and arrived in front of a cattle pen that was locked with a large brass lock.
When they approached, sounds of banging against the door erupted from inside, as if sothing fierce was locked up.
“What is locked inside there?” The group curiously looked towards the uncle.
The uncle shook his head and slid a small piece of wood from the door, imdiately revealing a five-centiter square hole.
Lin Xiao was the first to lean in to look—just as she brought her face up to the hole, a terrifying, human face appeared in front of her.
“Ah!”
Lin Xiao scread loudly, rapidly stumbling backwards, and if it weren’t for Wang Dadong catching her, she likely would have fallen over.
“Director Lin, you’re really faint-hearted.” Yang Jian said sowhat mockingly, then also leaned his face to the hole.
“Ah!
It’s a ghost!”
Yang Jian also got startled.
“Indeed, it’s a ghost—the frightened ghost is none other than you.” Zhou Ming laughed heartily and looked into the hole, then imdiately sat down on the ground.
Long Qiuyu walked over.
“Roar!”
Half of a nearly decomposing face suddenly appeared in front of Long Qiuyu.
Long Qiuyu, having military background, naturally had far greater resilience than the average person and ended up staring right back at that terrifying face.
She stared at the dreadful face for half a minute without any expression on her face.
After another half minute, she said, “Open the door.”
Upon hearing this, the uncle’s face paled instantly, “We shouldn’t!
This creature is very strong—if bitten, you would turn into a monster too!”
“Don’t worry.
With
here, there won’t be any trouble.” Long Qiuyu said lightly.
The uncle swallowed his saliva and finally, tremblingly, took the keys out of his pocket and handed them to Long Qiuyu.
After giving the keys to Long Qiuyu, the uncle imdiately backed far away as if he was really afraid of the thing in the cattle pen.
Long Qiuyu, holding the keys, turned to the three people behind her and said, “You guys back off a bit.”
Lin Xiao, Yang Jian, and Zhou Ming didn’t need Long Qiuyu to tell them twice; they retreated as far as they could jokingly, since the thing looked downright terrifying, let alone letting it out.
However, Wang Dadong, lounging lazily in front of the beautiful instructor, did not seem to want to leave.
“Aren’t you scared?” Long Qiuyu turned her head towards Wang Dadong.
“Scared, but I believe the beautiful instructor will definitely protect ,” Wang Dadong grinned.
Long Qiuyu’s lips curved slightly upward, and without saying much, she directly used the key to unlock the door.
The mont the door was opened, a figure rushed out from the cattle pen.
Wang Dadong was startled and scread, “Beautiful instructor, save !”
However, by that ti, Long Qiuyu had already retreated ten ters away.
Though called a monster, it was actually a person, but their entire face was so rotten they looked unrecognizable.
Seeing the full appearance of the monster, Lin Xiao was once again terrified beyond asure, as the monster looked many tis more terrible than what she had just seen in the cave.
Wang Dadong, being the first in line, couldn’t dodge in ti and was imdiately knocked to the ground by the monster.
The monster imdiately opened its foul-slling mouth and bit towards Wang Dadong’s neck.
“Damn it!
I don’t like n.” Wang Dadong shrieked, forcefully pushed the monster off, and then took to his heels.
The monster seed fixated on Wang Dadong and chased after him relentlessly.
“Beautiful instructor, save !” Wang Dadong shouted as he ran.
Long Qiuyu crossed her arms and watched Wang Dadong mockingly, a smile lurking in her beautiful eyes; this was the consequence of threatening her.
Seeing that the beautiful instructor wasn’t coming to his rescue, Wang Dadong decided to run towards Long Qiuyu, leading the monster to her.
While Long Qiuyu was enjoying the scene, Wang Dadong, like a monkey, suddenly jumped and ended up in her arms, clutching tightly around her neck.
Long Qiuyu hadn’t expected Wang Dadong to be so shaless, a grown man actually daring to jump onto a woman, but she hadn’t the ti to deal with Wang Dadong because the monster was already upon her.
Bang!
A dull sound.
The monster was sent flying by her kick, going several ters before coming to a stop.
“Scared
to death, scared
to death,” Wang Dadong clung to Long Qiuyu’s neck and scread randomly.
“The monster is already dead.” Seeing Wang Dadong clinging to Long Qiuyu and refusing to let go, Lin Xiao whispered.
Only then did Wang Dadong let go of Long Qiuyu’s neck, his face full of resentnt, “Beautiful instructor, it’s not right to set
up like this.”
Long Qiuyu looked at Wang Dadong, whose face was still shocked, and frowned, “How much longer do you plan to stay on ?”
Only then did Wang Dadong realize he was still hanging on Long Qiuyu and, embarrassed, he jumped down from her.
“A grown man, more timid than a woman, what a disgrace,” Long Qiuyu said as she vigorously brushed her clothes, as if trying to knock off whatever filth had co from Wang Dadong.
However, within two seconds, Wang Dadong was back on her.
“The monster resurrected, the monster resurrected!” Wang Dadong started shouting again.
