Qin Yi had a mocking smile on her face, thinking, ‘Want us to be your scapegoats? It won’t be so easy.’
“Sure, sure,” Lin Ping quickly agreed.
Qin Yi pulled on Yun Huan and continued walking, ignoring the group behind them.
The forest in the south wasn’t very far and this forest wasn’t huge either. It was just for people to look around, more a park than a forest.
Qin Yi and the other two walked relatively fast and soon arrived at the forest. The bright moonlight poured down, but Qin Yi’s vision was very sharp, so she could see clearly regardless.
“Be careful,” Yun Huan reminded her, then held her hand tightly. Qin Hanyu got closer to Qin Yi as well.
Qin Yi’s face turned icy. Something wasn’t right. There was something wrong in this forest. She felt as if there was a little person in her heart constantly telling her to leave this place.
Qin Yi and the other two people carefully stayed at the same spot, not moving at all. At this moment, Lin Ping brought his people over, all of whom were panting hard.
There were a total of five people on Lin Ping’s team, including himself: four men and one woman. One of the men with a bald head looked at Qin Yi and grumbled, “Why were you guys walking so quickly, huh? Couldn’t you wait for us?”
Pinch the softest persimmon in the bunch. Qin Yi was the most petite out of the three and appeared somewhat skinny and weak, so the bald-headed guy thought that she would be the easiest to bully.
Qin Yi didn’t look at them, or perhaps she couldn’t be bothered with them at all.
She released her mental strength and sensed many things flying towards them—they were small and very slow.
Qin Yi formed a protective shield and her countenance was stern as she stated, “They’re coming.”
Lin Ping and his team were stunned, wondering, ‘What’s coming?’
Before they could ask Qin Yi any questions, they saw many fireflies slowly flying towards them. They were small, bright and very cute.
It was normal to have fireflies in the forest in summer, looking as beautiful and dreamy as the stars.
The bald-headed man looked at Qin Yi and the others in disdain, “They’re just fireflies. What’s so scary about them? Lin Ping, if they really are experts, why are they afraid of fireflies? They’re really useless.”
The corners of Qin Yi’s lips curved upwards, commenting, “The more beautiful a thing is, the more dangerous it is.”
In the apocalypse, was anything ever truly harmless? Often, the more you don’t care about something, the more lethal it is.
However, she stopped at this point, whether they listened to her or not was their business, she had no obligation anyway.
“Tsk, they’re nothing but cowards. Lin Ping, are we still going to follow them? They’re afraid of fireflies eh, I am speechless. They’re so useless, what if they drag us down later?” The bald-headed man had a haughty look as he looked down on Qin Yi.
Lin Ping was somewhat hesitant. He had a feeling that Qin Yi and the other two men were very strong, but the bald-headed man was right. These were only fireflies and they were so afraid of them—were they really experts?
The bald-headed man couldn’t tolerate it anymore. He walked to the fireflies, many of them going close to him as he raised his brows and looked at Qin Yi, “Look, nothing happened.”
The second after he said that, a devastating cry resounded.
Lin Ping looked over and saw that countless fireflies had surrounded the bald-headed man. There was a mist of blood in the air, and in mere moments, the only thing left of the bald-headed man was bones. His flesh, and even his organs, were completely eaten by the fireflies.
Lin Ping was appalled, unable to believe that the man who had been talking to them just a few seconds ago was now gone.
But the fireflies now had a taste of human flesh, now beginning to attack Lin Ping and the others.
