Xiao Yu's operation had failed from the very beginning.
That was because Mi Ling and the others had no idea Yuri could control small animals and use them as his eyes and ears.
And they were extremely hard to detect.
Xiao Haoran and the others drove out and dropped Xiao Yu off when they were still four or five li from their destination.
Xiao Yu looked around. With no one in sight, she turned invisible.
Xia Haoran left the potatoes beneath a bare tree and drove away, while Xiao Yu watched from hiding nearby.
Yuri sneered. Do you have any idea how cautious Gou is?
I knew you wouldn't give up. Just stay there and wait.
Xiao Yu's invisibility worked on zombies because their sense of smell was only slightly sharper than a human's, not much better.
Small animals were different. They were incredibly sensitive to scents, so even if Yuri didn't spot Xiao Yu, he could detect her by smell.
After standing in the freezing wind for three hours, Xiao Yu was bored to death. No one showed up. What she got instead was a lump of bird droppings.
A giant bird flew over Xiao Yu's head and dropped a load right onto it.
Watching Xiao Yu's dumbfounded expression and hearing her scream, Yuri snickered.
With her invisibility about to wear off, Xiao Yu angrily grabbed the potatoes and went home.
Yuri didn't care. Better safe than sorry; impatience would get him nowhere.
I absolutely can't let them find me. With the strength of Chen Luo's base, I'd probably have to spend my life on the run.
He hadn't wanted this either, but what could he do? Chen Luo's place was the only one with plenty of fresh potatoes right now.
*I, Yuri, will get my potatoes without bowing
