Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 167 Refuse to Go Together

A Lu's eyes swept towards me, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he asked in confusion: "Well, what do you mean?"

I lowered my head, beads of sweat appeared on my cheeks, and my voice trembled with nervousness: "It's not...that..."

Ah Lu looked at my nervous expression, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said in a gentle and soothing tone: "Haha, you are worried? That guy is indeed a criminal. There is nothing we can do if we cannot trust him to help."

I frowned, my heart filled with fear. I clenched my fists and stammered, "Well... well... instead of trust, I'm more worried about..."

My thoughts drifted back to those nights in the ropeway cabin, when I was haunted by nightmares. When night fell, Zebra's hideous face transformed into a terrifying giant green demon in my dreams, eating me as his meal. That fear was deeply imprinted in my heart and I couldn't let it go.

I closed my eyes tightly and tried to control my emotions, but my palms were sweating more and more. I couldn't stand the depression in my heart anymore, and shouted weakly, "I really can't agree... to go with Mr. Zebra!"

As soon as I said this, I immediately realized my slip of the tongue and covered my mouth in horror, my heart filled with regret and fear: Woo woo woo... It's over... It's over... Zebra must have heard it, and if he knows that I refused to go with them because of a nightmare, he will definitely kill me!

Just when I was in despair, A Lu suddenly came up to me with a relaxed smile on his face: "Xiao Song, I actually think so too!"

I swallowed nervously, trying to keep myself calm: "Ah...Mr. Alu..."

A Lu stood up, looked at me seriously and firmly, and said gently: "But, in the food pyramid, we still need that guy's ability. Now let's support each other!"

I listened to Alu's words, and my forehead was immediately black. I felt that Alu and I were not on the same wavelength when we talked. He was talking about teamwork and trust. What I was worried about was that Zebra hadn't found the [Mellow Coke] yet, and he couldn't wait to eat me as a snack.

Alu seemed to see the fear and anxiety in my heart. He patted my shoulder gently and said in a comforting tone: "Also, Xiaosong! Zebra's existence is definitely not just for the bad influence of everything in this world."

Hearing this, I was slightly startled, raised my head and looked into A'lu's sincere eyes, and the fear and uneasiness in my heart gradually dissipated.

A Lu gently held my hand, with a gentle smile on his face: "Okay, we should go to the camel rental shop and prepare to rent two camels for transportation."

I smiled and held A'lu's warm hand tightly. His hand was thick and strong, and the warm touch made me feel more at ease than ever before.

In a corner of the sand on the other side, Zebula was chewing his food alone. His face was livid, and it was obvious that his mind was not on the food, but on listening attentively to the conversation between me and Alu. When he heard that I firmly refused to go with him, a hint of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Zebra's thoughts could not help but drift back to the half month in the ropeway cabin. During those days, every time Xiaosong saw him, his eyes were filled with fear, and he quickly turned and fled. Even when he was not present, Xiaosong would intentionally or unintentionally avoid those areas where he might appear.

Zebra bit the food in his hand fiercely, trying to vent his dissatisfaction and doubts in this way. His mind was in a mess, and he kept asking himself: Why did this little ghost suddenly become so afraid of me? Was I really too fierce to him? If I had known earlier, I would have scared the little ghost just now. His rabbit-like personality is not scary at all.

Alu and I asked a local resident about the exact location of the camel rental shop. The resident enthusiastically pointed out the direction for us and told us that the shop was not far away.

Alu and I went to the camel rental shop together. We walked in the white rice desert. I gradually found that the surrounding scenery was extremely desolate. The nearby residential buildings had long been dilapidated, with cracks and stains on the walls and broken windows. The ground around the residential buildings was covered with blood and debris, which made people think that this place might have experienced a terrible war.
