Chapter 189: then translation of chapter title
Lin Yifan heard the sound and abruptly turned his head, instantly seeing a man and a woman walk out from the forest on the right.
Both are young, especially the girl, her face full of childishness; if this weren't the Survival Sword, Lin Yifan would doubt whether the girl had reached adulthood.
The boy is slightly older, but at most around twenty years old.
They wore mismatched, chaotic clothing, with items from all seasons, lacking any sense of aesthetics.
Their hair was greasy, they had many scratches on their bodies, and the outer layer of their clothes was torn in many places.
Judging by their appearance, they must have walked many mountain paths and even encountered danger.
Because the boy's left arm was completely hanging limp, it was likely fractured.
Upon seeing Lin Yifan, both ran over excitedly; the girl, tears streaming down her face, cried and laughed as she spoke:
"Finally seeing people, we finally saw living people again!"
The youth was relatively more composed, though his face was equally full of excitement; he politely spoke to Lin Yifan:
"Brother, sorry to disturb you, but our siblings' shelter was flooded, forcing us to leave; we planned to return after the water receded."
"But we didn't expect to get lost in the forest, unable to find our shelter's location; we walked and walked, ending up here."
"Now that we can't find our shelter, could you please help us?"
Lin Yifan narrowed his eyes, his heart full of vigilance.
This wasn't the first time someone had intruded here; last time Liu Dacheng had tried to kill him on sight, while these two seemed harmless.
But appearances can be deceiving; it was just dawn, and if they were telling the truth, they had essentially spent the night in the forest.
What dangers lurk in the wild at night, Lin Yifan knew all too well.
Not to mention the wild beasts and wandering Maggot Human Bones; even just those eerie whispers could drive someone without Pure Spirit Flower protection mad, eventually turning them into Maggot Human Bones.
Yet this brother and sister not only survived a night in the wild but also walked alive to his presence—could they be ordinary people?
Moreover, last night's Heavy Rain Disaster hadn't lasted long before Lin Yifan ended it; although some survivors' shelters took on water, no flood disaster developed.
Yet they claimed their shelter was flooded, which was clearly a lie.
But Lin Yifan could clearly feel that the two people before him were living humans, not Maggot Human Bones.
Because Maggot Human Bones always have an eerie sense of wrongness; Lin Yifan couldn't tell before, but after seeing many, he could naturally distinguish them.
Although he had no qualms about killing, he wasn't a bloodthirsty killer; he couldn't just strike first.
Seeing Lin Yifan silent, still watching them warily, the youth's face fell a little, but he hurriedly explained:
"Brother, I know the wilderness is dangerous, and I know my story is hard for you to believe, but I swear everything I say is true; if a single word is false, may I meet a bad end."
The girl also realized this and hurriedly said:
"Big brother, my brother's words are true; we truly had to leave our shelter after it was flooded, and ended up wandering here."
"Then how do you want me to help you?" Lin Yifan said calmly, without saying whether he believed them.
"And if you want me to believe you, shouldn't you also reveal your background?"
"You ask me to help you right away, yet you won't even tell your names; how can I trust you?"
"Ah! Sorry, sorry! We just forgot." The girl's face flushed with embarrassment. "My name is Su Xiao xi, my brother is Su Tianhao, we are biological siblings."
Su Tianhao then scratched his head and added:
"Judging by your attire, I guess you're also a Survivor; you should know the chat channel—my nickname there is 【Sexy Little Wildcat】, I'm quite active there; have you seen me?"
"You're Sexy Little Wildcat?" Lin Yifan twitched his mouth, speechless.
He had dealt with few people, and Sexy Little Wildcat was one of them.
Moreover, it was someone he had dealt with shortly after arriving in the Survival Realm.
But he clearly remembered that Sexy Little Wildcat was a girl, and a girl especially skilled at raising fish.
How did she suddenly become a male?
Upon hearing this, Su Tianhao's face flushed with embarrassment as he said:
"Yes, I am Sexy Little Wildcat; it seems you know me, big brother."
"How could I not know!" Lin Yifan snorted, saying with deep meaning:
"You've been flirting everywhere; I've even witnessed your charm, yet I never expected you to be a cross-dresser."
"I'm not a cross-dresser; I was forced into it." Su Tianhao gave a bitter smile, saying helplessly:
"I pretended to be a woman and flirted in the chat channel because, when I first arrived in the Survival Realm those few days, I fell seriously ill and had no ability to go out for supplies."
"My sister is still young, the supplies we could find were limited, insufficient to support both of us; I had no choice, so I did those things."
"But after my health recovered, I never again pretended to be a woman to deceive for supplies—truly!"
Lin Yifan had some impression of Sexy Little Wildcat, but it wasn't deep.
Moreover, after he later learned that he himself was the fish someone was raising, he directly blacklisted that person.
Those on the blacklist cannot be privately messaged; he only sees them when they speak in the chat channel.
But Lin Yifan rarely looks at the chat channel; even when he does occasionally, Sexy Little Wildcat hardly appears.
So he wasn't sure whether she continued to pose as a woman to swindle supplies.
Finding out was simple; he just sent a private message to Chen Rainuo asking.
Chen Rainuo's guild had now been established, with three or four hundred members, making it easy to gather information.
Moreover, it happened that Su Tianhao was exactly a member of Chen Rainuo's guild.
"You're actually a member of the Symbiosis Gate?" Lin Yifan looked at Su Tianhao in surprise.
Su Tianhao instantly beamed with joy: "Yes, I joined the Symbiosis Gate two days ago; big brother, are you also in our guild?"
"I'm not." Lin Yifan shook his head; he had just asked Chen Rainuo, and everything Su Tianhao said turned out to be true.
His sister Su Xiao xi is only thirteen this year, and since they have no parents, the siblings came together and were assigned to the same group.
As for their claim that the shelter was flooded, that too turned out to be true.
The shelter of the two siblings was by the river; originally, because it had rained a few days ago, the water level had risen a lot.
Although last night's heavy rain caused water to enter most people's homes, the shelter also did not get flooded.
As for us, the two siblings were especially unlucky; the rising water level directly flooded our shelter.
