Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 168 A Stubborn Old Woman Appears Out of the Way! What Else Do You Want? (Part 2)

Everyone followed the gaze of the sun and moon in the same direction, and their hearts tightened.

Sure enough, around the corner not far away, a blurry black figure was slowly moving, and judging from its outline, it seemed to be walking in their direction.

The key point is that, by the dim light reflected from the distant explosion, they could clearly see that the person was carrying an AK slung across their body.

The novice player lowered his voice, his words tinged with a strange excitement:
"Greenskinned soldiers!"

"Should the four of us sneak over and take him down?"

The group wasn't particularly afraid; in fact, they were all eager to try.

If they could take him down silently, they would suddenly have an extra AK.

In this godforsaken place, who wouldn't be envious of guns?
Wang Zixu and the other person who was preparing to quit the game both looked at Riyue Tongcuo and asked for his opinion.

After pondering for a moment, Riyue Tongcuo finally shook his head, his voice steady:

"Do not impulse."

"Unless absolutely necessary, we should avoid engaging in firefights as much as possible and exercise caution."

Although everyone was somewhat unwilling, they understood that this was the safest solution and all nodded in agreement.

Without hesitation, Riyue Tongcuo led the three of them quickly across a small open space and slipped under a steel overpass. Behind them was a dark iron gate, so dark that it was impossible to tell if anyone was inside.

Since nothing can be seen, it is automatically assumed that no one is there.

The four of them pressed themselves against the iron gate, even holding their breath.

The novice player suddenly patted Wang Zixu's arm lightly and pointed to the iron pillar next to him.

Wang Zixu turned his head and, by the pale moonlight on the horizon, saw that the iron frame was covered with dried, dark brown bloodstains, as if silently telling the story of the cruelty that had once occurred there.

The four of them waited there for a full five minutes.

The green-skinned soldier didn't notice them, but he lingered at the intersection like a gatekeeper, showing no intention of leaving.

Wang Zixu waved to the other three, who immediately came over.

"We can't wait any longer, we have to get out of here!"

Wang Zixu said in a low voice:
"The longer we delay, the greater the risk!"

"Nobody knows when the fighting outside will stop."

The first novice player to agree:
"I think those green-skinned soldiers are probably on guard duty and patrolling there. Maybe the unrest ahead has almost subsided. We need to hurry!"

The sun and moon, seemingly wary, looked around cautiously, then pointed in another direction and waved.

"Follow me, this way!"

Riyue Tongcuo walked in the lead, and the other three immediately prepared to follow.

But at that moment, a cold little hand suddenly reached out from the darkness behind them and grabbed the novice player's arm tightly!

The novice player stumbled and felt a chill run through his body, almost scaring his soul away!

Let alone in such a tense and exciting environment, even walking on the street in broad daylight, you wouldn't be able to handle a hand suddenly appearing behind you!
Followed by.

A woman's voice came from behind, trembling and sounding very urgent:

"Don't leave!"

"I see you!"

"I heard everything you said!"

"Please, please save me! Take me with you!"

The three of them, Riyue Tongcuo, suddenly stopped in their tracks and looked in alarm in the direction of the sound.

In the shadow of the iron gate beside the steel overpass, a pale face suddenly appeared, pressed against the wire mesh, disheveled, staring intently at them with its eyes wide open.

Judging from her appearance, with her clothes disheveled and hair unkempt, she was clearly a "piglet" being held here.

The three looked at each other in disbelief. None of them had expected that there would be someone locked up behind that dark iron gate!

They said there, "That shouldn't be the case."

They had no idea what was behind the iron gate.

Wang Zixu guessed that the woman had overheard their conversation and knew they were trying to escape, which is why she risked grabbing the novice player at the last moment before they left.

The woman seemed to become increasingly agitated, and her breathing became more rapid.

If this continues, if she raises her voice even slightly, she'll definitely alert that green-skinned soldier in the distance, and then everyone will be doomed!

The sun and moon were both completely bewildered; they had planned everything, but they hadn't anticipated such an unexpected situation.

This left the four of them in a dilemma, unsure whether to leave or stay, completely stuck in place.

Holy crap! That scared me! Damn, I thought it was the start of a horror movie!

[This is hilarious; the newbie player is quite interesting.]

[People scaring each other can really be terrifying!]

[They've been discovered! Barbie Q is done for! What are Piao Di and the others planning to do? It looks like the green-skinned soldiers are about to find them!]

[Probably not? So far, this woman hasn't acted recklessly. She waited until the pimp and his group were about to leave before making her move, and she didn't shout or scream. Although her words sounded pleading, the threat was obvious. All signs indicate that she's quite lucid.]

The person upstairs makes a good point. This woman seems like someone to be trifled with. I suggest that the guys stay out of her business.

The crucial question is, can we just ignore this? She's already in a very dangerous situation! If we don't save her, this woman will definitely cause a scene. There are Greenskinned soldiers ahead, and who knows if there are other people nearby? Whether they're Greenskinned soldiers or thugs, now is not the time to confront them head-on.

This is dangerous! Rescuing them is like carrying a time bomb; not rescuing them means the bomb will detonate right now! There's no choice!

The novice player realized what was happening, quickly shook off the hand, and angrily whispered:

"Oh my god, big sister, don't get us into trouble!"

Seeing this, the woman became even more anxious, her voice trembling with tears:
"I didn't mean to harm you. I heard everything just now."

Are you trying to escape from here?

"Please, take me with you! I don't want to die here!"

She paused, then suddenly changed the subject, saying softly:
"Besides, wouldn't it be lonely to be out on the road without any women?"

"I... I have a way to make sure all four of you are comfortable the whole way."

The novice player subconsciously licked his chapped lips. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, judging from her voice, the woman must be pretty good-looking.

Riyue Tongcuo pulled him behind her:
"Damn it! What kind of time is this to be thinking about such nonsense!"

Having said that, he turned to the woman on the other side of the iron gate and said coldly:

"We don't even know if we'll make it out alive, how can we take you with us?"

Wang Zixu chimed in from the side:

"Yes, this trip is fraught with danger. We might die on the way, or we might not even be able to get out of the park."

"As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. If you want to live, you'd better not take risks with us."

But the woman wasn't one to back down. Hearing their refusal, she immediately stiffened her neck and changed her tune:
"I do not care!"

"If you don't release me and take me with you, I'll call for help right now!"

"I'm telling you, that's their break room right next to this wall!" "Believe me, once I say the word, none of you will escape!"

At this moment, the gunfire outside the park had subsided considerably, and the booming of artillery had ceased for a long time.

The surrounding environment seems to be getting quieter little by little.

This is a very dangerous sign.

It must be said that this woman is very difficult to deal with, and her threats carry significant weight.

The four men were ashen-faced and extremely nervous.

They stared intently at the woman behind the iron gate.

In the end, after a silent exchange of glances, they had no choice but to compromise.

Otherwise, if she really makes a scene, no one will be able to escape.

To be honest, this woman is really willing to go to any lengths to survive.

There's no other way. To survive, they'll do anything, let alone say such things.

[Haha, a drowning person, in order to survive, will pull even a swimmer down with them.]

[Don't say that, upstairs. I would have done the same. When a person is dying, they will desperately grab onto everything around them; it's an instinct written in their DNA, and it's always been this way.]

[This woman's actions are a bit infuriating, but of course, they're understandable.]

【Haha, I have a plan! Piao Di and the others can turn around and tell her: 'Only if we escape can we bring people to rescue you! If you dare to shout, we'll all die here together!'】

[Your plan probably won't work. Judging from this woman's current state, she's already blinded by fear. If you scare her any further, she might drag everyone down with her.]

Sigh, I knew this would happen. We'll have another burden on the road. I just hope she doesn't cause any more trouble.

[I was wondering if it was possible to pretend to agree to her request first, then knock her unconscious with a club? Otherwise, having a simple-minded girl on the run could easily cause trouble.]

[That's easy for you to say. This isn't a movie. What if you don't knock her out immediately and she screams? That would be the end of it.]

[Just kill him already! That'll end it all!]

[Uh... the person upstairs is a bit too aggressive. Essentially, she's also a victim who was tricked into coming to the park.]

Wang Zixu and the others circled the iron gate and looked around. There was a round padlock on the gate, which could not be opened without a key.

Riyue Tongcuo asked, "Does none of you know how to pick locks?"

New player: "Huh? How do I open this?"

Ready to quit the game: "Idiot, what's with the hair?"

Wang Zixu: "Uh...you've been watching too many movies..."

"..."

It seems that to get the woman out of the other side of the door, she either has to squeeze through the gap in the iron bars or climb over the door.

The gaps between the iron bars are only slightly larger than a fist; not even a child could squeeze through, let alone an adult woman.

The only solution now is to help her climb out of the door.

However, after trying for a long time, they all failed.

They tried to lift her up through the iron gate, but the space was too cramped and they couldn't get any leverage.

They tried to get her to climb on her own, but the woman was clearly weak; her limbs were limp, and she slipped down after only a couple of attempts.

The novice player sighed in frustration:
"Sister, it's not that we don't want to help you, but you've seen it yourself. You're so useless, you can't even climb out of a door. We really don't know what to do!"

Those preparing to quit the game also chimed in:

"Yeah, if you can't get out on your own, you might as well just stay inside and behave yourself."

"If we manage to escape, we will definitely find a way to get someone to come and rescue you."

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately and resolutely shook her head:
"No! I don't care!"

"If you don't save me today, I'll call for help, I'll call everyone here!"

"Alright!" Riyue Tongcuo looked at the unreasonable woman and felt a headache coming on.
"There is only one way now."

Wang Zixu asked in confusion:

"Huh? What can I do?"

Riyue Tongcuo raised his head, looked at the iron gate that was over three meters high, and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go up there and pull her out from above."

Wang Zixu sighed:
"That's all."

Without delay, the group immediately began to act.

With the phrase "Sun and Moon in Misalignment" and "Preparing to Quit the Game" serving as the foundation, and novice players supporting them in the middle, Wang Zixu was delivered to the front like a human pyramid.

The reason for choosing Wang Zixu is that he has the highest strength attribute among the four.

Wang Zixu straddled the top of the iron gate and leaned out to reach his hand to the woman below.

He certainly didn't disappoint everyone. With the help of the three below and his own strength advantage, he gritted his teeth and exerted tremendous effort to successfully rescue the woman from the door.

Ugh, this is such a hassle. Look how tired that guy is.

[Piao Di and his gang were really unlucky. They had everything planned out, but then this lazy old woman showed up out of nowhere.]

[To be honest, Piao Di and his crew were actually quite lucky. If it weren't for the attack on the park outside, the chaos tonight that brought their plans forward, and the cover provided by the gunfire, they would have been discovered long ago just by the noise they made breaking the window. And normally, if they were entangled with this woman, the chances of them being discovered by the green-skinned soldiers would be even greater.]

[Tsk... hard to judge, I guess it's a mixed blessing.]

Hopefully, this woman will behave herself and stop causing trouble.

After being rescued, the woman, still shaken, made no attempt to hide her feelings and immediately hugged Wang Zixu, who had just come down from the door. Her voice was trembling with tears as she softly said:

"Thank you, thank you for saving me!"

"I have no choice. If I don't escape, I'll die here sooner or later. I don't want that. Please, you must take me away."

Wang Zixu quickly pushed her away. This was not the time for sentimentality. He impatiently interrupted her:

"Alright, alright, don't talk, stay close to us, and don't make a sound!"

The person has been rescued; it's too late to say anything now. We might as well let her behave herself.

The woman nodded repeatedly, like a frightened chick.

The group had no choice but to accept their fate. In such an environment, carrying a child in tow, they searched for a way to escape. A dark cloud hung over everyone's heads.

Having wasted too much time, the four dared not linger any longer and prepared to bypass the green-skinned soldiers at the intersection by taking a side path next to another building to reach the gun hiding place.

But just as they were about to leave, the woman behind them suddenly grabbed Wang Zixu's arm again and said in an almost inaudible voice:

"You...you wait a minute!"

Wang Zixu's patience was almost exhausted. He lowered his voice and questioned, his face grim:

"No, we've already rescued you, what else do you want?"

He had just said to be quiet and well-behaved, but he started causing trouble before he even left. He suddenly became pessimistic about this operation.
