Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1175 - 622: Modern Armament! (Part 3)

After all, some of these people are Wei Shishi’s elders, who watched her grow up. In their eyes, the current Patriarch is still a child who needs their protection.

This Wei Shishi is really a group favorite.

However, it seems that the people who came this time can be considered Wei Shishi’s trusted confidants.

Xu Xin walked up to a truck and knocked on the back door with his hand: "I know you’re in there. No need to hide."

As far as it seems, those whose thoughts can be read don’t seem to have any problems.

And he needed to get these people out to find out who could be mind-read and who couldn’t.

First, a murmur of whispers came from inside the truck, then the large door at the back was opened.

A dozen heavily armed, gun-toting strong men came out.

Each of them was tall and strong, like a human wall, and as soon as they came out, they surrounded Xu Xin in a trained manner...

However, these people appeared quite restrained.

Some of the relatively younger ones even looked a bit excited.

After all, Xu Xin’s face is very well known in the underground world.

This is the face of the "Statue of God" that has stood for a thousand years in their city center.

However, these people in front of him were all trained soldiers, even though they were excited inside. Xu Xin could even hear the screams in some of their minds, but they didn’t show it obviously.

"There’s no need to be nervous. I won’t do anything," Xu Xin said with a smile. "I’m here to help you."

"When did you all get here!"

Not far away, Wei Shishi’s voice sounded. She saw the situation over here and ran over directly.

"What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you not to follow me!"

"Patriarch, we’re worried about you. Your current status is special. How can you meet with others alone... After what happened to the former patriarch, how could we let you meet others by yourself!"

One of the people, who looked at least over fifty, earnestly told Wei Shishi.

At this moment, Xu Xin glanced around at these people.

Then, his gaze settled on one of them.

That person... he couldn’t read his thoughts.

"Oh?" Xu Xin raised an eyebrow slightly.

He indeed found something.

If they were truly native to the underground world, there should be no reason he couldn’t read their minds.

This person has significant issues.

The person Xu Xin was looking at appeared to be about forty years old, with a resolute expression, holding an unidentified firearm, remaining silent.

Xu Xin’s gaze only lingered on his face for two seconds before moving away.

He couldn’t let him sense anything unusual.

Yingying had just said that the underground world’s firearms were very powerful. At his current distance, if the other side noticed something unusual and wanted to retaliate desperately, it could end badly.

"There are people in those two trucks too." Xu Xin pointed to two other trucks not far away.

"Wha..."

"I’ll get them out immediately!"

The person who had just been earnestly advising Xu Ying suddenly shouted toward that direction: "We’ve been discovered. Come out!"

Immediately, more than a dozen people exited neatly from the two trucks.

"...Hmm, there are two."

Among the people from those two trucks, Xu Xin also found someone whose mind he couldn’t read.

Adding the one from earlier, there were two in total.

"Are these all your confidants?" Xu Xin asked Wei Shishi.

Previously, Xu Ying had already explained the situation to Wei Shishi, and she understood Xu Xin’s purpose for coming.

Upon hearing Xu Xin’s question, she suddenly tensed up: "Yes, these people have always been with me. They..."

Xu Xin glanced to the side and then nodded gently.

Wei Shishi took a deep breath, and after two seconds of silence, said: "You two, come with me."

Then she said to the people beside her: "You all should be very familiar with these two. There’s no way they would harm me. I’m going back to my room now, so don’t follow."

Saying this, she looked at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying immediately understood her meaning, grabbed Xu Xin and her arm, and then...

disappeared on the spot.

"This...!"

"What!"

"They disappeared!?"

"Those two people also appeared suddenly!"

"This... really is a god!"

Now, even these very composed soldiers, who didn’t reveal their emotions, couldn’t hold it in any longer. They began to discuss in amazement one after another.

"Sigh, Shishi really is..." A few older people exchanged glances, then all shook their heads with wry smiles."

"Well, everyone, let’s disband on the spot. Those two probably wouldn’t harm Shishi."

"...Do you think that those two are so strong? Could it be that Wei Bai was taken down by them..."

"What are you talking about? If that were the case, would Shishi still treat them like this?"

"That’s true... Shishi isn’t that kind of person."

"The Patriarch... Who exactly killed Wei Bai, perhaps... these two might be able to give us an answer."

"They’re gods! How can you be so calm! They’ve lived for a thousand years, all the way until now!" A younger soldier said excitedly.

"Yeah, I was just stunned by their presence!"

"What presence? I found them quite ordinary, but that sudden disappearance at the end was indeed invincible, gave a sense of being a transcendental master!"
