Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

The boy finished speaking, shouldered his sack of rice again, and continued forward with his companion, no longer paying attention to Shen Mo's group.

"No wonder there's no one on the street. They all went to Yangzhou Harbor." Tan Xiao said matter-of-factly, "Then let's go too, let's go and see."

Cheng Teacher said: "If we go to Yangzhou Harbor, we have to turn back."

Bai Youwei closed her eyes, directly objecting: "I won't go. Just thinking about it, you know the environment on the ship must be terrible, people squeezed together like animals, seasick and vomiting, unless it's a Royal Caribbean, otherwise I'd rather jump into the river."

Tan Xiao looked blank: "Royal Caribbean, what is that?… A pirate ship?"

"It's a cruise ship." Shen Mo glanced at Bai Youwei, "And it's the most luxurious kind."

Tan Xiao suddenly realized: "Oh…"

Cheng Teacher hesitated and said: "But, the two students just said that it's only safe on the water now…"

"Before, they also said that places without dolls were safe, but now there are dangers everywhere, with this strange fog appearing." Bai Youwei said nonchalantly, "The news is always changing, who can say for sure? Anyway, I won't go, you guys go if you want."

Tan Xiao looked at Cheng Teacher, then at Bai Youwei, and asked hesitantly, "You really not going?"

Bai Youwei snorted softly, "I'm not stopping you. Just take pity on me, a cripple. You guys go, just don't bother me."

Shen Mo was silent for a few seconds, then gently placed his hand on her head, "…Are you still sleepy?"

"Don't touch me!" Bai Youwei slapped his hand away, fiercely.

Tan Xiao: "…"

Cheng Teacher: "…"

It seems so.

Shen Mo shook his head helplessly, gripped the steering wheel, and set off again.

He did not turn around, but directly caught up with the two boys who had just walked away.

Hearing the movement behind him, the male student turned around. Seeing the car approaching again, he frowned, his expression showing a bit of tension.

"What else do you want?"

Shen Mo stepped on the brakes and asked, "Since everyone has to take a boat to escape, why don't you go to Yangzhou Harbor?"

The male students looked at each other.

It was the tall boy who spoke first: "There are many of us. We'll go with everyone when everyone is here."

"I see." Shen Mo's tone was unhurried, emotionless, as plain as a glass of boiled water, "Then when are you planning to leave?"

The other boy was a little annoyed, "What does it have to do with you when we leave?!"

"It's none of my business." Shen Mo smiled faintly, "I just want to follow you and see where you're headed."

The boy's face turned ugly. He pulled his companion, ignored Shen Mo's group, and hurried forward.

But how could they outrun a car?

Moreover, one was carrying a bag and the other was carrying rice, and within a short while, they were panting and sweating profusely.

"What should we do?" The boy looked back at the off-road vehicle that was always following behind, his eyes full of anxiety, "Should we take a detour and get rid of them?"

"No." The tall boy shook his head, panting, "Taking a detour would be too time-consuming. Teacher Tu is still waiting for us to send the medicine back. Leave them alone. Anyway, everyone has props, we're not afraid of them."

"Okay, let's hurry up!"

The two encouraged each other and continued to run forward.

…

"What's wrong with these two kids? They're guarding against us like we're thieves." Tan Xiao craned his neck to look ahead, puzzled, "They blew up after just a few questions, their temper is worse than mine."

"It's normal to be emotionally sensitive in such times." Cheng Teacher sighed softly in the car, "How did things turn out like this, alas…"

"So what do we do now? Keep following them?" Tan Xiao asked.

Shen Mo, who was driving, said lightly, "They arrived in Yangzhou earlier than us and know the situation here better. There must be another reason why they haven't left yet… Moreover, their destination should be safer than other places."
