Chapter 515 Sand Sea 9
Zhang Chuzhen stood aside, not joining the others; she just hoped the progress could be accelerated.
Su Nan suddenly walked up to her and said, "Little girl, you broke my leg, don't you owe me an explanation?"
Old Mai's leg is broken; he was helped over by his own people.
Given his current condition, it would be very difficult for him to continue. He was lying dejectedly on the desert, already a burden to the team.
Old Mai had long wanted to send someone to cause trouble for Zhang Chuzhen.
However, after hearing the details of their accident, Su Nan learned that Zhang Chuzhen's surname was Zhang, and that she had easily dealt with Lao Mai and his companion, so she couldn't make up her mind for the time being.
The desert collapsed later, and everyone was busy escaping and didn't have time to look for Zhang Chuzhen. This was the perfect opportunity for her to test the waters.
Besides, Lao Mai was someone Su Nan brought with her, so she still needs an explanation, otherwise it would be a slap in her face.
Everyone else who heard what the two said also looked over.
Guozi ran to Wang Meng's side: "Brother Wang Meng, that woman is causing trouble for Chu Zhen, what should we do?"
Wang Meng glanced at Wu Xie, who simply smiled and looked at the two women facing off, without saying a word.
"boss……
"Shh, this is their own business, we shouldn't interfere."
Guozi was a little worried: "But Chuzhen helped us."
Wang Meng felt he was no match for Su Nan, and his boss wasn't speaking up for him either, making things difficult for him.
However, he felt that Zhang Chuzhen should be fine.
Guozi tugged at him: "Brother Wang Meng..."
Wang Meng: "You remember that neither Lao Mai nor Zhang Chuzhen could beat her, right? She must be pretty good."
Guozi thought about it and agreed, so she could only continue to observe the situation over there.
Zhang Chuzhen listened to Su Nan's words calmly: "What explanation? Doesn't he deserve to be punished for what he did?"
Su Nan: "If it were just a simple fight, it wouldn't be a problem. We could blame him for being less skilled. But in this situation, his leg is broken, which could be fatal."
"So what? You're her boss, so you're here to get revenge?"
Su Nan stared at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled and slashed the knife in his hand toward her with lightning speed.
Li Chu tugged at Wu Xie: "Hey, you're really not going to help?"
“We won’t need it, just watch.” Wu Xie said.
Sure enough, amidst everyone's indifferent attitude of either watching the show or being worried.
Zhang Chuzhen took a step back to dodge the knife coming towards her, and then delivered a spinning kick to the arm holding the knife.
Su Nan felt a sharp pain in her hand and let go. Zhang Chuzhen caught the knife as it was about to fall and, in the blink of an eye, was behind Su Nan, holding the knife to her neck.
Her actions were so quick that no one had time to react, and the initiative shifted to Zhang Chuzhen, whom they felt had been bullied.
Director Wang tugged at Guozi excitedly: "This girl is pretty amazing, did you know that before?"
In his view, Zhang Chuzhen was also one of them. With such a capable person around, they wouldn't be so passive in the team.
"I know, she's the one who broke Old Mai's leg." This couldn't be kept secret, and Guozi didn't intend to hide it.
She had originally intended to tell Director Wang about what happened yesterday, but the sudden turn of events prevented her from doing so.
Director Wang: "I didn't expect that. Well then, we need to get along well with her. Guozi, you're close to her, so remember to keep an eye on her."
Guozi nodded; she didn't refuse. Having someone with high combat skills to help her did make her feel safer.
"Should we continue?" Zhang Chuzhen didn't sense Su Nan's killing intent and malice, so he didn't go all out.
Su Nan was subdued by her, but instead of being angry, he laughed: "This little girl is quite the hidden talent. I never expected that there would be such a hidden master in our team."
"Sister Nan!" Her two subordinates came over to help.
"No need to come over." Su Nan waved her hand in refusal, so they had no choice but to stand still.
Zhang Chuzhen stepped away from her, then tossed the dagger back to her and turned to walk to the other side.
Su Nan watched her retreating figure for a while, then smiled and turned to discuss the plans with Wu Xie.
The two of them, along with Boss Ma, discussed it for a while and then made a decision.
Su Nan immediately informed them, "We're leaving in five minutes, everyone get ready!"
"Sister, aren't you worried about not having any food or water?" Li Chu noticed that Zhang Chuzhen's worries were different from others', and curiously walked over.
He was curious about this person who looked only a few years older than him but was very capable.
"There's no use in being anxious."
"You have a really good attitude, and so does he," Li Chu said, looking at Wu Xie.
Zhang Chuzhen didn't reply; she was just waiting for the main group to set off as soon as possible.
Five minutes later, everyone started following Wu Xie again.
Zhang Chuzhen initially walked quietly at the back of the group, but as everyone's stamina began to wane, she gradually moved to the front.
Wu Xie, who was leading the way, turned around and saw that she was in good spirits. He smiled and said, "Your physical strength is better than everyone else's. No wonder you were able to walk out of the desert by yourself before."
“You’re not bad compared to me.” Although Zhang Chuzhen’s words contained an element of modesty, Wu Xie did indeed look to be in better condition than the others.
Zhang Chuzhen was probably in the best condition among the group, because she seemed completely unaffected.
"I also want to thank you for reminding us, at least we were able to bring some things out, which will allow us to live a couple more days."
Zhang Chuzhen remained noncommittal. This man was a cunning old fox now, and she always felt that his words carried a hidden meaning.
They had run out of water and food, and still couldn't find a place to go.
Finally, everyone collapsed from exhaustion and dehydration in the desert. Zhang Chuzhen noticed someone approaching, but she could only pretend to be unconscious and wait for the Wang family to come and take them away.
With her eyes closed, she felt herself first being placed on a camel, and then being walked in one direction.
Then they arrived at an inn, where a woman took off her coat, changed her into clean clothes, and put her on the bed. Zhang Chuzhen simply fell asleep.
The next day, everyone gradually got up. Zhang Chuzhen opened her eyes briefly, intending to go back to sleep.
When Guozi asked her to come down for something to eat, she always found excuses to get rid of her.
"Then I'll go get you something to eat. You can't go without food."
"Thank you." She didn't refuse. Taking some food to her room was also a reasonable excuse for her to stay in her room and not go out.
Otherwise, she wouldn't eat or drink, which would seem abnormal. If food is brought to her, she can just throw it into her spatial storage and pretend she's eaten it all.
The food at this restaurant must have been spiked with additives; she wouldn't eat it even if she went down there, so there's no need for her to make the trip.
Once the room was empty, she went straight into her private space to shower, wash up, eat, and then came out to continue sleeping, not wanting to care about what would happen next.

In the evening, in order to appear as normal as everyone else, Zhang Chuzhen took a bath at the inn.
However, the water and bathtub she used were from her own space; she didn't want to touch the ones at the inn.
