There were seven people in the woods. They were afraid that they would be killed by the dissatisfied murderer at the end, so they put all their strength into it, vying with each other, and ran with the momentum of the Olympic 100-meter sprint.
These seven people were all big, burly men who looked very intimidating. Their faces were ferocious due to fear and running at high speed, which was a bit scary. Compared with these ferocious men, Qin Minghui was quite harmless, just like a small bird to an ostrich.
But now these long-legged "ostriches" are very scared.
They are all Huo Yin's thugs, and some of them used to follow Huo Lan. The Huo family's adoptive father and son both believe in the concept of "profit first". As long as you follow them wholeheartedly, you will have endless money, so they have a large group of people under them.
However, this also has a fatal flaw, that is, once there is no benefit, this group of people will disperse at any time. Now that Huo Lan and Huo Yin are dead, it is meaningless for them to work hard for him, and no one will pay for the Huo family father and son.
Both the father and the son are suspicious people. They hold on to power and money tightly in their hands and are unwilling to hand them over to others. They all know that when the news gets back to the safe zone, the area managed by the Huo family will be in chaos, and they will not be able to get the balance of the trip this time - now they may even die here!
So unlike Qin Minghui's worries, none of the people brought by Huo Yin really wanted to risk their lives to avenge Huo Yin. What they were most worried about now was their own lives. The boss was dead anyway, and they still had wives and children to support.
Several big men who came closer almost fell to their knees when they saw the tall figure of Robot 01.
If they hadn't seen with their own eyes how he could easily burn a living person into ashes in a second, they wouldn't have believed that there was such a powerful killing weapon in the world.
"Do you know Huo Yin's purpose?" Qin Minghui asked them.
Several big men looked at each other. They actually didn't know much. They just had to do whatever orders Huo Yin gave them. No one dared to ask why.
Qin Minghui thought they were unwilling to say it. She didn't want to make things difficult for them. She just asked casually. Otherwise, she wouldn't have killed them all.
"If you don't want to say it, then forget it." Qin Minghui thought, let them leave.
—“If you don’t want to, forget it.” To the big men, this was tantamount to “then I’ll send you to accompany Huo Yin.”
The faces of several big men suddenly changed. "No, no, no, we will tell you everything. Just don't kill us!"
Seeing the tears in their eyes, Qin Minghui: “…”
Did she scare them too much? But she did nothing more than say two words.
The big men spoke quickly, one after another, saying whatever came to their mind, and sold out the previous two bosses completely.
"Huo Yin came here because he heard about the giant robot. We have been looking for it outside for more than a month."
"This news was told to Huo Yin by Ding Yang and his friends." A big man pointed at one of the seven people, "He is Ding Yang, and he followed Huo Lan to look for you before!"
Ding Yang, who was named, shouted immediately: "I just took Huo Yin to the ruins of the fortress. There was nothing there except the big hole left by your robot! Guo You was also there. He was more valued by Huo Yin than I was. He must know more!"
Qin Minghui looked at Guo You who was pointed out in the team. Guo You immediately said, "I guess Huo Yin wants to trick or snatch your robot, but I really don't know how he plans to do it! Huo Yin is a cautious and selfish person. He won't tell us all his thoughts."
The others also agreed, "That's right, Huo Yin is a piece of shit. He said he wanted to find his father Huo Lan, but he never took us to the place where Huo Lan disappeared."
Qin Minghui listened quietly to them denouncing their former boss, and then replied: "Don't look for Huo Lan, he's dead."
The men fell silent, and one of them asked her quietly, "Did you kill Holland?"
Qin Minghui: "Yeah, but I generally don't like killing people."
She kills people, and she is also afraid.
Several big men almost cried out loudly after hearing this, and felt that their hope of survival was slim. What a cruel woman this was, to be able to kill such a vicious and cunning man like Huo Lan and Huo Yin, could she really be as innocent as she looked? Impossible!
“We really don’t know…”
Qin Minghui couldn't bear to see these burly men crying in front of her.
"It's okay if I don't know," she said.
Before he could even utter the words "Then go ahead", several of the big men became excited again and said eagerly:
"We are still useful. We can take you back to the safe zone. The Huo family has a lot of money hidden in a secret warehouse, which is kept by one of their confidants. We will take you to find him!"
"Also, Holland has been researching robots. He has a secret laboratory. I heard that the laboratory contains his secrets. If you are interested, we can show you the way!"
"Yes, that's true. I heard that he has been researching robots for a long time. They have hidden a lot of good things..."
Qin Minghui had not wanted to go to the South Safety Zone before. Huo Yin was still there. She was reluctant to go there on her own initiative. Besides, the protagonist of the original movie was cheated so badly there and died there in the end. She thought it was not auspicious.
But now, Huo Yin is gone, his ashes are gone, it seems like it wouldn't matter if she was there
The secret laboratory of Holland that they were talking about also appeared in the movie. Although Holland didn't produce anything good, he seemed to have collected a lot of information. Qin Minghui has recently reached a bottleneck in her research on that alien script, and she needs to supplement more relevant knowledge.
"Okay, I'll go to the South Safety Zone with you guys." Qin Minghui made a decision after thinking for a moment.
The big men felt as if they had just walked from the edge of an abyss. They almost cried for joy and collapsed to the ground exhausted like a group of potatoes.
They came by car, and the car with a lot of daily necessities was hidden in a distant valley. They drove a light single-seater car and hid nearby, mainly to monitor Qin Minghui and to be able to follow the boss's orders more conveniently.
Now, they consciously regard Qin Minghui as their new boss.
Although she won't give you money if you listen to her, she will kill you if you don't listen to her.
Seven big men took Qin Minghui and 01 to the valley, took out their long-distance vehicle, and moved the food out of the vehicle and handed it all to her.
Their food was good. Qin Minghui was quite happy to see the canned grains, simply packaged fast food and seasonings, and nodded to this group of knowledgeable men.
The big men also felt relieved: Great, it looks like she won’t kill us for the time being!
Qin Minghui rummaged through the cooking utensils and food they brought, preparing to carefully cook a dinner for herself.
Several people were eager to help her. When they saw her wiping the pot with her fingers, one of them smiled and took the pot to wash it for her. When they saw her moving out chairs to set up a table on the flat grass for dinner, several people took down the table from their car, cleaned it and set it up for her.
In short, they all rush to do anything that can be done for others.
If the food they cooked hadn't tasted so bad, and they were afraid that it would backfire and disgust her, and then she would be unhappy and eat them all, they would have cooked the food as well.
To say whether these people are as honest as they appear... is of course impossible.
However, such a huge robot was standing nearby, and the muzzle of the cannon in one of its eyes was not retracted. These people were moving around under his nose. If there was something strange, they might be gone in a second, just as suddenly as Huo Yin died.
Even so, they had to suppress whatever thoughts they had for the time being.
Qin Minghui, whose work had been done by others, had nothing to do for a while, so she simply took the vase and walked to a distant slope to pick a bunch of wild flowers. Putting a vase of flowers on the dining table, such a sense of ritual would make her feel happier when eating.
Seeing her walking farther and farther away, only the robot was left standing motionless. The two people who were making the fire and the one who were washing the pot slowed down their movements at the same time and looked at the girl in the distance with flickering eyes.
Suddenly, 01 shot out a thin blue laser from his eyes, which scared the men who were pretending to be busy. The man who was lighting the fire with something to hide was even more frightened and sat down on the ground.
The blue laser shot half a meter behind Qin Minghui in the distance. Qin Minghui was holding a vase of wild flowers, looked back at the ground, and waved to 01 with a smile.
When she came back to set the table, the pot-washing man couldn't help but ask with a flattering smile: "What did you just do?"
Qin Minghui fiddled with the wild flowers in the vase and answered him, "There's a poisonous snake trying to attack me. 01 saw it, so he dealt with it."
This blue light cannon is a new attack mode that Qin Minghui recently wrote for 01. Its power is not as strong as the previous red laser cannon, but its firing speed is faster, more silent, and its range is easier to control.
01 has a special module to protect her. If she is attacked, 01 will analyze and respond autonomously without her having to issue additional commands.
This kind of blue laser cannon with reduced power is very suitable for destroying small dangerous creatures. If it is used against a human, one shot may lose a part of the body, but the person will not necessarily die. Unlike the red light cannon, one shot will burn the surrounding area. 01 now gives priority to using this blue light cannon.
As for the stronger types, Qin Minghui is also trying them and has made some progress.
Qin Minghui prepared dinner for herself happily, and the big men gathered around and made their own meals. After seeing 01 shoot a poisonous snake with a cannon from such a distance, the men became even more silent.
Qin Minghui sat alone and finished her dinner facing the sunset. Several big men took the initiative to help her clear the table and wash the dishes.
"Actually..." Qin Minghui suddenly smiled at the big men, "If I had fainted after eating these things just now, or if I had any other problems, 01 would have burned you to ashes immediately. Fortunately, this did not happen."
The big guys: “!!!”
Several people swallowed their saliva, and two of them were sweating in their hearts. It was a close call, luckily they didn't do it!
After cleaning up, several people gathered aside to rest. They didn't dare to speak and just exchanged glances with each other for a while.
Finally, a big man gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked to Qin Minghui's side: "My stomach suddenly hurts a little, I want to go to the toilet, you see, should I go a little further away to avoid the fumes from disturbing you?"
"Okay, you don't need to tell me such trivial matters." Qin Minghui is easy to talk to.
The big man glanced at 01 and smiled apologetically: "I'd better explain it to you. If you misunderstand that I want to escape, I will be dead."
Qin Minghui comforted him: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you go a little further."
Big man: "Okay, okay."
Qin Minghui: "After all, 01's scanning and shooting ranges are very wide, and can cover the woods, so it doesn't matter."
Big man: “…”
With a stiff smile, he went to the bushes far away to solve his physiological problems, and then returned to the group of big men in shame. Someone poked his leg quietly, but the big man ignored it.
They wanted him to quietly send a message back to the safe zone, but he was still afraid after squatting there and thinking about it. The more he thought about the girl's smiling face bathed in the sunset, the scarier he felt.
Maybe she has discovered their little thoughts, and maybe she is just waiting for them to show some abnormality. If he is caught and killed on the spot, wouldn't it be used to intimidate others
No, he'd better be honest.
