Hidden Mountain Cave

But in this desolate wilderness, they still did not dare let their guard down upon encountering someone. They secretly observed Lin Dong, analyzing his background.

Seeing that he was alone, he probably was not from the Black Scorpion Organization. Those lunatics usually acted in groups.

Besides, he was neatly dressed, clean and presentable, with the air of a big boss or a rich second-generation heir.

"He's probably a survivor from the villa district... and he has a huge amount of supplies."

Whether it was for Crystal Cores or supplies, the two of them felt it was necessary to keep him here.

"Let's go!"

Having made up their minds, they stopped hiding and walked straight toward him.

Lin Dong glanced over.

They finally came out.

I'd been waiting for them for ages...

Meeting Lin Dong's gaze, the two men first raised their hands and smiled.

"Don't be nervous. We mean no harm."

"Oh..."

Lin Dong nodded.

He saw that they wore light-blue short-sleeved security uniforms, now shredded by branches. Their hair was long, their beards unshaven, and their faces were caked in grime, making them look like savages.

One of the young men, named Wu Dazhi, spoke up and asked,

"Brother, where did the Man-Eating Vine go?"

"I don't know."

Lin Dong shook his head blankly.

The two exchanged a glance. It was more or less what they had guessed: he had also rushed over after hearing the noise to investigate. They immediately relaxed somewhat.

Wu Dazhi's small eyes grew a little more brazen as he looked Lin Dong up and down.

"Then did you pick up anything?"

"No."

Lin Dong said.

Meanwhile, the other man searched the ground all around. The area was covered in withered vines and rotting roots, but there was no sign of the imagined "super crystal."
