Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Siblings Drift Memoir

Li Wenli slightly furrowed his brows, "We’re telling the truth. Not long ago, the North-South Bridge was destroyed, and my siblings and I fell into the river, adrift for over half a month. When we came ashore again, we found ourselves here. If the old gentleman doesn’t believe us, feel free to ask around if such an incident occurred."

"We really were washed up here, and it was only shortly after landing that we saw a dark figure rushing past. Thinking there might be people around, we followed, only to find that the figure had vanished without a trace as soon as we entered this place."

Bai Junjun also added from the side.

As they were speaking, the sky began to show the first light of dawn.

The appearance of these outsiders gradually became clear.

The uncle narrowed his eyes and took a careful look, never imagining that it would be a few children who had broken into Death Valley at night.

The boy leading them seemed to be on the cusp of adulthood, while the girl next to him was half a head shorter, looking about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The child they were protecting in the middle was even younger; the taller girl was at most seven or eight years old, and the other two were toddlers around four or five.

Before, when everyone knew outsiders had intruded, they had thought it was some deadly organization. They never expected it to be just a group of refugee children who had stumbled in.

The collapse of the North-South Bridge and the tens of thousands of people washed away by the river had indeed been heard of by them.

However, they had not imagined that anyone could survive in the river for over half a month, and even be fortunate enough to be washed ashore here.

But to arrive in Death Valley, who knew if it was fortune or misfortune.

While the middle-aged uncle was still pondering, Li Wenli had already proactively spread his hands out, showing his harmless side with full sincerity, seeking a peaceful coexistence.

"We truly have no intention of disturbing or offending anyone. If you are not pleased, we will leave the same way we came in."

"Leave?" the middle-aged uncle crossed his arms in front of his chest, a strange smile appearing on his face, "I’m afraid you don’t yet realize where you’ve ended up."

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli exchanged glances, indeed unaware of their location.

"Death Valley is not a place you come and go as you wish."

As the uncle’s words ended, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli’s expressions grew somewhat difficult.

"Could it be that the old gentleman intends to keep us here against our will?"

If that was the case, they wouldn’t mind taking on a fight with the myriad of arrow feathers.

After all, they had fought a Flood Dragon; humans were really not a concern.

But the old gentleman did not respond, just silently disappeared from the room.

Then they heard a "click, click, click" mechanical sound of gears turning from the tube-shaped building where he was.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli found this familiar sound incredible, as during the month they had been here, they only dealt with wilderness survival.

Far removed from the center of human civilization, they never expected to find gears in the depths of this jungle.

If not for the many pairs of eyes watching them from the dark, the two of them would have probably already run to the tube-shaped building to see for themselves.

After a while, the sound of the gears in the tube-shaped building stopped, followed by a rhythmic "clack, clack" sound.

Upon closer observation, they saw the middle-aged uncle appearing leisurely on the ground floor.

However, to their surprise, he was using a crutch, and one of his pant legs was empty.

And although he was using a crutch, his presence was not weakened but seemed even steadier and more unfathomable than the leader of Mighty Hall whom Bai Junjun had met before.

The two did not relax their guard because the other party was a Lame Man; on the contrary, as the uncle approached, they became even more vigilant.

While the two were assessing the Lame Man, he too was sizing up the few thin yet lucky children in front of him.

The more he looked, the more puzzled he felt at heart.
