Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Lu Yuwen
Su Man watched from the shadows.
Although she and Lu Yuwen were strangers, she steeled her teeth in rage at their actions. She wished she could rip apart these three villains!
But now was not the time…
She would have a better chance of success if she waited until they all fell asleep at night, or when the three of them were separated. Only then would she make her move.
Su Man clenched her teeth, her gaze fixed on the men as she waited patiently.
The man in a jean jacket named Xiao released Lu Yuwen, letting him fall to the ground in agony, coughing up broth and noodles. He then grabbed Lu Yuwen by the hair, forcing him to look at the map in his own hands and threatened,
“It’s already the third day, look at this damn map carefully. Figure out where we should go tomorrow. If we don’t get out, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”
Yuwen weakly closed his eyes, answering hoarsely, “Even if you… kill me… I would not know the way. This maze is split into a 10×10 square lattice, like… a chessboard. We must pass through all 100 squares to find… a way out…”
“Fuck!” Brother Xiao shoved Lu Yuwen’s head down, grinding his face against the hard cement floor. Blood seeped out.
A short, young man in their group grumbled, “We’ve only made it through 35 squares! By his calculations, we’re stuck here for another five or six days!”
Zhang Ke, with his dark complexion, chuckled nonchalantly, “There’s water here, we have food, and we don’t have to worry about those twisted games. I think it’s just fine here…”
“You must be fucking insane!” The short man shouted, “Didn’t you see those puppets on the way?! At least in the game, you know how you’re going to die. In this maze, you won’t even know how you died!”
Zhang Ke responded with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “A death is a death. What’s the difference.”
“You can die if you want! I don’t want to wait here another minute!” The short man, irritable, stood up and went inside the tent.
Zhang Ke purposely raised his voice and asked, “Yang Zi, you seem quite angry, do you want me to come in and cool you down?”
The man inside replied with a roar, “Get lost!!”
Zhang Ke smirked apathetically and turned his gaze back onto Lu Yuwen on the ground.
Lu Yuwen’s body was covered in blood and dirt, and he looked like he was half-dead.
Zhang Ke moved his gaze away with regret.
His companions were ugly and unpleasant, and the only good-looking one had been tormented into this wretched state, making the situation uninteresting.
Brother Xiao advised, “Save your energy, rest up. We don’t know what we’ll encounter tomorrow.”
Zhang Ke, finding it boring, went to his own tent to sleep.
Brother Xiao sat outside for a while, diminishing the blaze of the fire before joining the short guy in his tent for rest.
Time ticked away.
There was no movement from the tents.
After a while, the sound of snoring echoed from inside. They appeared to be asleep.
In this maze, apart from the numerous arrows, there was no visible danger. They slept without a care, oblivious to the fact that someone was watching from the shadows.
Su Man continued to wait.
She intended to save Lu Yuwen when these people were deeply asleep.
While she was contemplating rescue plans, her eyes remained focused on the tents, alert for any slight movement.
Right when Su Man was about to take action, she was startled to see Lu Yuwen, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly sitting up!
She held her breath instinctively.
She had assumed Lu Yuwen was asleep!
After all, after being dragged by a motorbike for half a day and without a proper meal or water, how could an average person have the energy to keep going?
The Lu Yuwen in front of her was just like that.
He used up all his strength to stand up, and then… slowly… headed in the direction of the motorbike.
