Chapter 960: Chapter 952: Omission

"I’m not living a life completely cut off from the world. I still have connections with them. Even here in prison, there are some people you can use. As long as they get enough benefits, they’ll definitely help you get things done. The people here are all desperados, they’re not afraid of dying, so what else would they be afraid of?" the old man said.

Just as Xiao Yifei was about to remind the old man that "you’re one of them too," the old man continued, "But I’m different from them. I’m very afraid of dying now. I want to live and get out of here, even though I know it’s almost impossible."

This man in front of me is truly hard to read! He must be someone with means, otherwise, at his age, who would be willing to help him and cooperate with him? Xiao Yifei no longer dared to underestimate this person; rather, he shouldn’t underestimate anyone here.

The people who end up in this place must have been the ones the outside authorities had no solution for, and thus exiled them here. Like Liu Rui’s father, he must be a very smart person, and his fighting skills might not be weak either.

Then I’m probably the weakest one here, having neither intelligence nor physical strength, thought Xiao Yifei. It’s best to hurry up and find Liu Rui.

This time, with the old man’s guidance, Xiao Yifei didn’t get lost and smoothly walked out of this house. He suddenly realized how coincidental it was that he unwittingly came to this place, then happened to meet this somewhat mysterious old man, who easily told him such a great clue.

All of this can’t be described as coincidence anymore; it felt like someone deliberately arranged it all, unless there was heavenly assistance, how could such a favorable thing occur?

Perhaps heaven saw Xiao Yifei struggling alone to find the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle and decided to help him!

Isn’t this how many martial arts novels write it? Someone accidentally falls into a cave and discovers a master of supreme martial arts living there, who then takes him as a disciple, and finally, he becomes a supreme master himself. Xiao Yifei certainly hopes such a good thing could happen to him. noveldrama

As Xiao Yifei continued forward, he discovered that the house ahead seemed to have quite a few people in it, hearing the sounds of voices. Yet, he dared not approach rashly, so he could only hide far away alone.

Sitting on the ground to rest, looking at the setting sun, he realized it was already almost evening. Previously, due to tension, he hadn’t noticed the passage of time, and his phone was shut off to conserve battery, so he didn’t know the exact time. Having hardly eaten in the morning and then being busy all day long, his stomach had long been growling with hunger, but in this desolate wilderness, where could he find food?

Going back to find that old man again would be humiliating, and the old man’s stuff didn’t look appetizing. Wasn’t it said that food was airdropped? Then there should be some overlooked food in these places! Xiao Yifei thought.

At this moment, Xiao Yifei felt deep despair. The physiological limit of a human body can survive up to a week without eating or drinking, a maximum of seventy-three days without food, but without water, one can’t survive even a week.

Without water, the blood in the body becomes increasingly viscous, slowing down the internal circulation, toxins and waste can’t be expelled in time, and soon, the body will collapse. As a doctor, Xiao Yifei was more aware than anyone else of what would happen if he couldn’t find food next.

Only after the sky was completely dark did Xiao Yifei dare come out to move about, hiding himself in the cover of night. The ordeals he was experiencing were beyond anything he had ever imagined himself facing before. He realized that since knowing Liu Rui, his life had undergone great change, with each day seemingly more exhilarating and challenging than before.

Previously, people around Xiao Yifei were kidnapped, and now he had come to such a place. Xiao Yifei suddenly felt like his life was akin to filming a movie, full of ups and downs. It seemed that breaking up with Tang Rong was a wise decision, even though he had always loved Tang Rong, sometimes love alone is not enough, and he couldn’t give Tang Rong the life she wanted, nor could she accept him as he was!

So separating was the best choice.

Xiao Yifei carefully moved around, meticulously searching every inch of land on the ground. On parts covered by dead grass, Xiao Yifei would uncertainly search several times, reassuring himself that since food was airdropped, there would certainly be some overlooked items, at worst he could return to the old man later.

Thinking this way, Xiao Yifei’s heart was less anxious. Just then, he suddenly noticed something dark moving not far away. Xiao Yifei initially thought it might be a small animal, and cautiously approached. Upon getting closer, he discerned a human figure, amazed that someone else might be stealthily searching for stuff just like him.

The person was very alert and immediately noticed Xiao Yifei, dropping what they were holding and running away. Then Xiao Yifei realized it was just a child, estimating about seven or eight years old. Xiao Yifei hadn’t considered that there would be such young children here; truly a pity!

Xiao Yifei urgently shouted to the child, "Don’t run, I won’t hurt you."

Who knows whether the child was scared that Xiao Yifei’s shout might attract others, or if he truly believed Xiao Yifei’s words, but he stopped and stood still, not moving forward. Xiao Yifei had to step forward, but as Xiao Yifei took a step, the child took a step back. If Xiao Yifei stood still, the child stayed still.

Seemed like the child was quite cautious! Xiao Yifei thought exasperatedly, then said again, "I really won’t hurt you. These are your things, right? Here, take them." Xiao Yifei said, handing the items the boy had dropped back to him.

Seeing this, the boy cautiously walked a few steps forward, then snatched the items from Xiao Yifei’s hands, holding them tightly in his arms before retreating several steps.

Watching him, Xiao Yifei felt both helpless and a bit of heartache. The boy eyed Xiao Yifei warily, as though ready to run at any moment.

So Xiao Yifei squatted down, his gaze nearly level with the boy, looking at him patiently as he asked, "Why are you here alone?" Actually, Xiao Yifei had a lot of questions to ask him, but this was the first one he voiced.

"I’ve always been here, but before I was with my mom, now it’s just me alone." The boy seemed to relax his guard towards Xiao Yifei, speaking while keeping his eyes on the ground.

Xiao Yifei roughly understood what had happened, but didn’t have the heart to ask further. However, the boy indifferently added, "My mom was killed in my seventh year, fighting others for a bit of meat for me."
