Brave Twelve: Raid on Death Island (2)

  Brave Twelve: Raid on Death Island (Part 2)

  My mind is racing, how did Lin Meng end up in our squad? What does she want to do with me? Push me into the river? That's a bit too much, you say we have such a small conflict, what's the big deal! At worst, I'll compensate you for a Chanel.

  I was racking my brains for a solution, but in my ears I could already hear the gurgling sound of the lake water flowing. It's all over, it seems that today Lin Mou is destined to take a walk in the river.

  At this time, Lin Meng spoke again: "We're about to get on the iron chain bridge soon, be careful and I'll remind you if there's any obstacle!"

  I didn't hear that wrong, did I? Lin Meng has changed sex? My heart still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and I quietly raised my other hand to lift up the eye mask and take a sneak peek at the situation.

  "Good little kid, still wants to sneak a peek!" Lin Meng chopped down with her hand knife and severed my disobedient hand under the horse.

  "What's your hand trying to do sneaking around if you're not peeking?"

  I covered my eyes with a blindfold and kept arguing with Lin Meng.

  "We're on the bridge now, if you say that again I'll throw you down!" Lin Meng said with a stern tone.

  "What makes you think I'll listen to you?!" But, to be honest, I was still afraid she'd pull me down, and besides, this iron chain bridge swaying back and forth is better approached with caution.

  Lin Meng carefully led me across the bridge, reminding me to dodge when encountering obstacles. In fact, these so-called obstacles were just small stools, and I could easily step over them.

  I thought Lin Meng was tough on the surface, but in reality she's still soft-hearted. Once this training is over, I'll have to find her and get a clear explanation for what happened last time.

  About halfway through, Lin Meng finally revealed her true face...

  As I walked, I felt that there was another obstacle ahead because Lin Meng's entire body had obviously paused for a moment. However, Lin Meng didn't remind me that there was an obstacle, and it was strange that I was too trusting of people, losing my guard against this beautiful sugar-coated cannonball. I continued to walk straight forward, and "bang" - my calf hit the edge of a bench, hurting so much that I gritted my teeth.

  "Sorry, sorry! I forgot to remind you!" I could clearly hear the schadenfreude in Lin Meng's voice as she said this.

  Hmph! You think you're tough, little girl? I'll see how long you can keep up this act!

  Then I raised my vigilance and paid close attention to Lin Meng's movements. Whenever she made a slight pause, I would lift my foot and take a step forward.

  "Hey, I didn't think you could see through it!" Lin Meng said, looking at me with a disgruntled expression.

  "That's you, in front of me, is just like being naked!"

  I really want to take off my blindfold and see Lin Meng's expression, I guess her pair of black eyes must be staring at me with a sharp gaze.

  I was just gloating over having figured out Lin Meng's losing move, when she suddenly came up with a new idea.

  Lin Meng also learned to be clever, when there was no obstacle, she would occasionally make some fake moves on purpose. When there were obstacles, she would make continuous fake moves, making me either trip over the stool or stand on it with one foot, looking like I'm surveying the surroundings, which brought bursts of laughter and teasing.

  "Have you ever treated people with disabilities like this?!" I said to Lin Meng in feigned anger.

  "Are you a disabled person?" Lin Meng also retorted bluntly.

  "I'm blind!"

  "You're blind with your eyes open!"

  Forget it, I don't want to hold hands with you anymore. I shook my hand trying to get rid of Lin Meng's grasp, but unexpectedly Lin Meng held on tight and I couldn't escape her clutches for a moment.

  I exerted myself with all my might. Suddenly, I heard a cry of surprise beside me, followed by a "splash".

  My first reaction was that someone had jumped into the river! My second reaction was to quickly take off my goggles and take a look, if it's a beauty I'll go save her like a hero!

  I took off my goggles and suddenly found that Lin Meng beside me was gone. I looked around and oh my god! The one who fell into the water was this little girl!

  Lin Meng was struggling in the water, looking very painful. At that time, I didn't hesitate either, took off my shoes and jumped down at once.

  That iron chain bridge was only about two meters above the water surface, I jumped into the water and found out I'd been cheated! I TM actually stood up straight away, this water was at most 1.6 meters deep!

  I supported Lin Meng under her armpits and said to her: "Stop pretending, this water isn't even as deep as the bathtub at my house!"

  Lin Meng smiled and said: "You're coming down too!"

  "Is this what you wanted?"

  "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied!"

  When Lin Meng and I were picked up by colleagues, Lin Meng insisted that it was me who pushed her down, causing me to be condemned by many female comrades.

  The news of "Lin Ruo's poisonous hand pushing down the beautiful female colleague" spread at an extremely fast speed among these 40 people, and by the time we return to the company, it will probably have distorted into "Lin Ruo made indecent advances towards the beautiful female colleague but was rejected, and pushed her into the water out of spite". Alas, rumors can be really terrifying.

  At dusk, all of us were arranged to sit in a large room. The training base invited a kind-hearted psychologist who claimed to guide and trigger our gratitude.

  The lights in the room went out, and the stereo played a soothing "Grateful Heart". The psychologist gently guided us to recall our past, recalling those who raised us, helped us, and from childhood to adulthood, the experiences flashed through each of our minds like a movie.

  The training ended, the fluorescent lights lit up again. I saw that many of my female colleagues' eyes were red, some were secretly wiping away tears. I also thought of my old mother and unexpectedly added a few more feelings of nostalgia. Lin Meng sat alone in the corner, her head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking about.

  At night, staying in the hotel, some people gathered to play cards, some took advantage of the situation to flirt with girls, and others boasted to each other. Alas, the world is full of different kinds of people, what can I say? I have nothing to say anyway.

  I walked out of the hotel alone, not because I'm pretending to be cool, but actually I don't like playing cards, I don't like picking up girls (except beautiful ones), although I love bragging, what's the point of bragging with a bunch of old men - how many times a day? Once a day!

  It's already autumn, the night sky is clear and crisp, with a hint of chill. The moonlight casts my shadow very long, wait, is this just one person's shadow? I take a closer look, damn it, this is clearly two people's shadows!

  I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine. Was there someone behind me?! But how could there be no sound at all? Never mind, I'll take the initiative and make the first move.

  I swiftly turned around and threw a quick right hook, but the other person was also quite skilled. He ducked down to avoid it.

  "What a good fellow, report your name! Under Lin's rule, no one is killed without a reason!" Ugh, I must have read too much Jin Yong...

  "You're sick!" The voice was soft and delicate.

  "Lin... Meng... why are you following me?"

  "Who's following you, fart! Can't I just go out for a stroll by myself?!"

  "Suit yourself, you can turn however you like, even if it's like a spinning top, no one will bother you!"

  "You're still spinning around! Let me tell you something serious!"

  Wow, I didn't expect this little girl could talk business with me.

  "What's going on?"

  "Pay me back, Chanel!"

  Wow, this is what they call a real deal!

  I hastily explained what had happened that day to Lin Meng, who looked at me with a mixture of trust and doubt.

  "How can I believe your one-sided words?!"

  "What makes you not believe me?"

  Lin Meng thought for a moment, "Alright, I'll let you off this time." She said with a smile.

  "Thank you!"

  "You're welcome!"

  The three-day training ended quickly, and Lin Meng's decision-making and organizational skills shown during the training made me look at this little girl with new eyes.

  The big bus took us all back to the company.

  Back at the company, I packed up my things and prepared to head home. It had been several days since I'd returned, and I didn't know if Zhu Peijia was back yet. These past few days, she hadn't even sent a single text message, which really wasn't like her style.

  Standing at the entrance of the company building, this damn sky actually started raining. Dammit, isn't it deliberately making things difficult for me? I roughly estimated the distance from here to the station and prepared to make a dash in the rain.

  "Hey, didn't bring an umbrella!" Lin Meng appeared beside me out of nowhere, this little girl is always popping up unexpectedly, I really suspect she's learning to be an assassin.

  It's obvious, I'm going to stay here with an umbrella and play ball.

  "Otherwise, I'll give you a ride, since I didn't drive to work today and can only drop you off at the nearest bus station."

  "That's so touching! Thank you!"

  "Cut the courtesy, who's kidding who!"

  "Don't say that, it makes me anxious!"

  Lin Meng and I just like to bicker, neither of us gives in to the other.

  After all, I still stood under Lin Meng's umbrella and took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of holding the umbrella. Just as we were about to march towards the station, a beautiful figure with a flower umbrella appeared in front of us.

  "How did you get here?!" I exclaimed in surprise, staring at the beautiful woman standing in front of me...
