Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 135 You Go First, I'll Cover Your Rear

An elderly woman who does square dancing once told me that if she dances fast enough, her loneliness can't catch up with her.

An old man who collects recyclables once told me that if she searched through the trash cans carefully enough, she could find her lost self.

A cleaning lady once told me that she had been cleaning those two streets for seven years, but she still couldn't sweep away the imperfections in her heart.

I told myself to keep living, that there would be a time when I would find the truth and be reborn. Only now do I truly understand the weight and hardship of the words "starting anew".

At Xiao Cang's insistence, she finally came out, but as soon as she did, a large number of flies immediately followed her out.

"Damn it, didn't he like you? Why did he go and report it after letting you go?" I was almost in tears.

Xiao Cang's anger did have an effect, and the security captain did indeed obey. However, when the security captain let us go, he said that he would still report it, which was his accusation.

"Letting you go is a favor, reporting the situation is my duty," the security captain said, watching us leave.

I just don't understand, is this security captain so inflexible? Can't he be a little more flexible? What's the difference between this and not letting us leave?

I'm almost in tears. There are flies chasing me from behind. Where can I run to?

I could only fly as fast as I could, and whether I could escape was up to fate, I thought to myself, feeling quite depressed.

"He's that kind of principled fly, otherwise our family wouldn't have let him be the team leader for so long," Xiao Cang answered my question as he flew.

What kind of principle is this? They let us go on one hand, and then went and tattled on us on the other. Are they trying to trick us or harm us?

Anyway, I feel like both meanings are pretty much the same. Either way, they're trying to kill us.

Xiao Cang and I had no choice but to run for our lives, or at least I was really risking my life. Because if we got caught, Xiao Cang would at most be locked up, but I would really lose my life here.

So I fled in extreme anxiety. Fortunately, it was dark at night, and we managed to escape several dangerous chases under the cover of darkness.

But the pursuers are getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, I might get caught before I even reach the spider.

So I was extremely anxious, what should I do? I quickly asked Xiao Cang beside me, "Are you familiar with this area? Is there any way to get past this place?"

"How can we hide? Even if we find a place to hide, with so many flies, they'll find us even if they search like a carpet, right?" Xiao Cang said anxiously.

The situation has completely broken down; there's absolutely no room for negotiation. So now, besides desperately trying to escape, there's basically nothing else we can say.

When any creature is fleeing for its life, its fear of its surroundings is reduced to a minimum. When Dafu and I came here before, the environment around us terrified me, and I was afraid that there might be some danger.

But now, with so many enemies chasing me from behind, I realize that the dangers around me are nothing compared to the real danger behind me.

We completely lost sight of the potential dangers around us and just kept running towards the spider. But after flying for a while, I remembered a very crucial and fatal problem.

That's how we escape. Even if we get there, we'll have revealed the spider's location, and we'll be surrounded by a swarm of flies. How will we escape then?

Even if we could escape, could that spider fly faster than a fly? That's absolutely impossible.

Seeing the swarm of flies chasing after us, I hurriedly said to the little fly, "We can't keep running like this. Even if we reach the spider, we'll still be surrounded."

"What should we do then?" Xiao Cang, who was standing to the side, wasn't stupid either; she knew what I meant as soon as I said it.

"Do you know where the spider is?" I asked in return.

"I know. I often meet him there in secret. Why are you asking?" Xiao Cang asked curiously.

"That's good. I have a plan. I'll distract them. Once you see the spider, you two should run away quickly. Also, tell my partner to wait for me at the gas station." I said hurriedly to Xiao Cang while flying rapidly.

"What? You're going to lure them away?" Xiao Cang asked in surprise.

“That’s right, I’ll distract them, you go and meet up with the spider,” I said hurriedly.

"No, this is too dangerous," Xiao Cang said hurriedly.

"I can't worry about that now. If you're willing to help me, take Dafu to the gas station across from this grove after we're safe." After I finished speaking, I flew off to the side.

Xiao Cang gave me a grateful look and then flew back toward the spider's location.

Seeing Xiao Cang rush towards the spider's location, it was time for me to show my chance.

To be honest, my willingness to leave Xiao Cang and distract the swarm of flies wasn't entirely because of Xiao Cang's love affair with the spider.

After all, everyone has selfish tendencies. I'm not a hero or a superman, and I can't possibly sacrifice my own life to save someone else's life, especially when it's just a fly and a spider.

The reason I'm willing to do this is that I can lead this swarm of flies towards the gas station, into human territory, and thus gain a geographical advantage.

Moreover, Dafu can also meet me at the gas station after he is safe. This is my plan, a plan that achieves multiple goals, a plan that can be described as perfect.

So I quickly changed direction and flew towards the gas station not far away. Once I was a little further away, I could shout loudly, "Grandpa's here!"

I was able to easily lead a swarm of flies to follow me; I'm practically a genius!

I can't help but laugh when I think about it. How am I so smart? How am I so outstanding?

As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. No matter how perfect an opportunity is, if you are unlucky, you will end up in complete failure.

Even someone as brilliant as Zhuge Liang made mistakes, let alone me, especially given my character.

So I had just escaped and hadn't even had a chance to cry out when I encountered something. I almost burst into tears. Was that a god blocking my way?

They were standing right in front of me as if they were waiting for me. They weren't surprised at all when they saw me. They were just like guests waiting for guests.

Most importantly, what awaited me wasn't a fly, but a butterfly princess, a goddess-like figure—oh, Miss DVD seller.
