Chapter 303 Self-Doubt
"...We originally had several cars." Lin Zhennan's voice was a little hoarse.
His act of exposing his own shortcomings as the team leader brought to the surface all the guilt he had buried deep in his heart.
"We've encountered similar strange occurrences before, but not this many. That time, Lao Zhao stayed behind to cover the retreat... and didn't make it back. Xiao Wu's car was also dragged into the mud."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the fire truck convoy not far away, his expression complex.
"Now, we have five of us from the Sequence, plus seven ordinary people, barely managing to hold on. If you'd like...?"
Lin Zhennan didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was crystal clear.
His fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the can, his tone carrying a fleeting plea and barely perceptible embarrassment.
Fu Xiaojian followed his gaze and finally it landed on the woman named Jin Shuting.
Lin Zhennan is a Sequence 3 Knight, not the team's guide.
The guide for the Jingzhe caravan was a Sequence 2 prophet named Jin Shuting (who can be understood as a prophet).
She was adept at navigating the Jingzhe convoy and even hooked up with Zhou Jun, a member of the scout team.
This meant that he, as the team leader, didn't have much say in the Jingzhe team.
He even felt that the deaths of Lao Zhao and Xiao Wu were related to this woman, and he felt completely sidelined.
For a team leader to reach this level is already an utter failure.
This not only left him mentally and physically exhausted, but also made it difficult for him to cope.
He just happened to run into such a powerful team as "Salary Train Team", so he was definitely going to take a gamble.
Not for any other reason than to ensure that some of the people in the convoy could survive.
Fu Xiaojian didn't respond immediately, as that would make him seem too eager.
And he was weighing the options.
The Jingzhe team is in better condition than he expected, while the Xinhuo team has also lost many members.
The bus was more than half empty, and he would naturally be happy to have some more passengers.
Moreover, this is a five-sequence extraordinary sequence, with three sequences of 3 and two sequences of 2.
Moreover, Lin Zhennan's expression didn't seem to be faking it.
"Can you tell me about your situation?" Fu Xiaojian's question was an agreement.
"I am a Sequence 3 Knight, Hinata Aoi is a Sequence 3 Ninja, Elder Pei is a Sequence 3 Wolf Guard, Zhou Jun is a Sequence 2 Scout, and that woman is a Sequence 2 Prophet, capable of predicting what will happen the next day!"
It seems that the relationship between the two has really deteriorated to a certain point, so they directly used that woman as a substitute.
……
While Fu Xiaojian and Lin Zhennan were discussing the future of the two teams.
Hinata Aoi, however, stepped forward and started chatting with Xu Si.
"Hello, is this your car? May I come up and take a look?"
Hinata Aoi tilted her head back, her exceptionally bright eyes staring straight at Xu Si.
The large metal-framed umbrella on her back, almost as tall as a person, gleamed coldly in the twilight.
The umbrella surface is made of some kind of dark gold composite material, with fine, rune-like silver patterns along the edges.
He looks like a character straight out of an anime.
Xu Si sat on the edge of the Nirvana car roof, and Xing Tong looked at her calmly without answering.
Not far away, Jiao Jiao's ears were practically perked up.
Although he was still fixing Yao Yao's hair, his eyes kept glancing this way.
Xiao Luo was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or leave, sensing that Sister Jiao Jiao was acting strangely today.
"...Is this your car? That's impressive."
Hinata Aoi didn't seem to care about Xu Si's silence, and continued speaking to herself, her Chinese without a trace of foreign accent.
Since Xu Si did not agree, she did not rashly get into Xu Si's car.
However, she did not leave, but instead circled Nirvana twice.
"We've seen a lot of modified cars, but yours is the coolest and most stylish!"
As if in response, Nirvana's headlights flickered twice.
"He can understand it! Does it have a name?"
Hinata Aoi was not discouraged in the slightest by Xu Si's indifference.
He talked to himself as if his energy would never diminish.
"Nirvana," Xu Si finally spoke, his voice flat and relaxed, carrying the same composure as when introducing a friend.
"Does it mean rebirth from the ashes? I know, it's a good name." Hinata Aoi smiled.
His smile shone as brightly as the blood-red sun in the gradually dimming light.
"My name is Hinata Aoi. My father is Chinese, and I am Chinese too. I grew up in China, and I know that Chinese people value this."
"???" Xu Si was stunned. What did this have to do with him?
"By the way, what about that eagle during the day? Is it a pet kept by your convoy?"
……
Not far away, Jiao Jiao was grinding her teeth to powder.
If Yao Yao's braids hadn't already been braided, they might have been completely torn apart by her.
"How could she do this? Huh? How could she do this?" Jiao Jiao started questioning Xiao Luo, almost making Xiao Luo lose her mind.
"Redhead must be ecstatic, right?"
"Aba aba!" Little Luo was extremely grateful that he was currently speechless.
He quickly pointed to his mouth and said, "Don't ask me, I'm mute."
"Little Luo, you've really gone astray following Red Hair. What about your shared spiritual senses? You're still pretending?"
"Sister Jiaojiao, it's time to eat. I'll go see what Brother Shan is cooking today." Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Xiao Luo quickly made his escape.
"Hmph, redhead, if you dare... I'll never speak to you again!"
After Xiao Luo left, Jiao Jiao was so angry that she jumped up and down, but there was nothing she could do.
……
"Hello! I didn't expect you to be the one speaking in the midday announcement. The artifact you're using must be amazing, right? Could you let me see it?"
Ronaldinho has truly escaped one danger only to fall into another.
Jin Shuting, who was having a passionate affair with Tashan, caught them red-handed.
Xiao Luo didn't like this woman, but he wouldn't give her the cold shoulder.
Instead, he pointed to his mouth and waved his hand to indicate that he couldn't speak.
"So you're mute? Then you..."
"roll!"
Before she could finish speaking, Tashan, who had just been all smiles at her, suddenly glared at her angrily.
Jin Shuting didn't immediately realize that the person talking was referring to her.
"Brother Shan, Brother Shan, it's okay, calm down!"
Xiao Luo was the first to react, waving his hands repeatedly to show that he was alright, and then remembered that he still had his Spiritual Sense Sharing ability to use.
"Are you talking about me?"
Jin Shuting innocently pointed at herself, not understanding how things had changed so drastically from just moments ago.
What did she do wrong?
"Here! Drink it while it's hot!" Tashan scooped a can of food for Xiao Luo, but didn't even glance at Jin Shuting.
He is honest and kind, not stupid.
He could still distinguish between clothes and hands and feet.
Besides, he only thinks the clothes look nice; he'd dislike wearing them himself.
Tashan ignored her and instead invited everyone on the bus to eat.
As for those ordinary people she thought she had already won over, who were chatting and laughing with her just now.
At this moment, none of them bothered to pay any attention to her.
This plunged Jin Shuting into deep self-doubt.
Her smile froze on her face, like a mask that hadn't been torn off in time.
