Chapter 364: Chapter 254: The Desert, Land of Death

But frankly, it’s not of much value.

"What’s next? Take them to the police station, or just leave them here?"

Murder was the dumbest method, bringing nothing but trouble.

Gong Jiu and another started discussing which method was the most vicious...

As they were talking, two cars arrived behind them.

They stopped right beside them.

With a swish, the doors opened, and several people stepped out.

Feng Sha, Brother Ma, Zhang Wei, and Han Gao were all there—all underlings of Gong Jiu. They had gotten familiar with Sui Yi from a previous encounter and had shown themselves to be quite competent, which is why they were brought along on this trip.

But it wasn’t just Gong Jiu’s people; Flower Demon also brought a subordinate—a young woman with short, efficient hair, seemingly named Shen Di. Among Gong Jiu’s people, only Feng Sha and Zhang Wei could match her in terms of skills, while Brother Ma was better known for his shooting and overall abilities...

Apart from their subordinates, there was clearly another person.

—Anayi.

This temporary guide was shocked when she saw the group of people on the ground: "What’s happened to them...?"

Once Gong Jiu explained, Feng Sha immediately prepared to carry out the simplest method of murder and burning the bodies. After all, these people often engaged in such acts and had unstable identities; their disappearance wouldn’t cause any trouble...

"Hey, you guys have guts, even daring to strike at our Ninth Miss... Alright, Ninth Miss, I think we should just cripple them, dump them in the car, and leave their fate to luck... As for Pan Ling, we can deal with him when we return," Brother Ma’s suggestion was still quite practical.

However, Gong Jiu and Flower Demon felt this method was too soft—not satisfying at all~~

While everyone was discussing, Sui Yi obviously wasn’t much interested but casually mentioned: "You might consider calling Pan Ling, let her come to pick them up."

Hearing this, Gong Jiu and Flower Demon’s eyes lit up.

"Hey, Miss Sui is awesome, that’s a good method," Brother Ma grinned, echoing what they had described Pan Ling as: not very capable but quite scheming. Delivering these people to her was like passing a hot potato. In panic, whether she comes to rescue or not, it would definitely create rifts among them, possibly leading to a dog-eat-dog situation.

Upon hearing Sui Yi’s words, the middle-aged man didn’t quite understand at first. Was this person insane, actually planning on sending them back?

But there wasn’t enough time to react, as Feng Sha and the others had already crippled their hands and feet and stuffed them into the car, driving it to the side of the highway.

Once everything was settled, the three cars reassembled, and Anayi got into the car with the trio.

As soon as the door closed, Anayi asked, "Where are we going?"

Her expression turned curious upon asking.

Wasn’t that the guide’s line?

Where to?

Gong Jiu and the others looked towards Sui Yi.

Sui Yi was reminded of that map...

"To Tarim,"

"Eh? Where’s that?" Gong Jiu instinctively thought about searching on a satellite map.

"Xinjiang Tarim Basin," Anayi suddenly said clearly and brightly.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she became a bit embarrassed: "This place is quite famous. Every year, lots of tourists and adventurers go there."

"That’s a tourist spot?" Gong Jiu asked curiously.

Tourist spot? Anayi looked around strangely at Sui Yi and the others before slowly saying, "Taklamakan Desert, it’s not a tourist spot, it’s the Desert of Death."

————————

"Taklamakan Desert? Are you sure? Miss Sui... That’s not a good place to go," Wei Feng called Sui Yi and questioned the destination upon finding it out.

But he quickly received a hearty and unmistakable laugh of derision: "If you’re afraid, you don’t have to go, Mr. Wei"

Setting the speakerphone on—truly no secrets from those around him, Wei Feng chuckled softly: "I’m just considering everyone’s safety, especially for the women. Of course, this isn’t discrimination against women."

"In fact, we don’t mind your discrimination, Mr. Wei... if you have the confidence for it," Flower Demon said, touching her fingernails and speaking hauntingly.

Obviously, arguing with women, especially two naturally equipped with hair-trigger defensive skills, was extremely foolish.

Wei Feng fell silent, only to hear Sui Yi’s voice after a while: "There’s no point in testing here... Mr. Wei, wouldn’t you consider exploring deeper locations after meeting us?—once you’re fully certain the desert is indeed our destination."

"This isn’t about testing..." Wei Feng shifted to a more comfortable position, his voice lighter: "While my people die one after another in it gaining nothing, I’m more inclined to doubt the rightness of this place.."
