The brawny man grew anxious. He extended his hands and wanted to reach for Thomas, but Thomas evaded the movement. The strength gap between the two was too huge.
Right then, an even more unexpected thing happened.
Two of the coolies slipped. It was either because they were too tired, or the ground was slippery due to the rain. The box they were carrying fell to the ground and rolled twice. As the box rolled over, there was a scream coming from inside.
It was the scream of a little girl!
Now, everyone present was stunned.
The coolies exchanged glances and looked at the box falling on the ground. Then, they looked at the boxes they were carrying and stopped moving due to fright.
Could it be that there were humans inside all the boxes?
The goods transported by Art Trading Corporation were all humans?
All the coolies had never seen such a scene. No matter how brave they were, they did not dare to transport humans.
The person in charge of the delivery frowned slightly. He knew that things were bad. So, favonovel.com shouted, “What’re you guys doing? Hurry up and move the goods!”
A coolie said, “But there seems to be a human inside the box.”
The person in charge smiled. “What human? Inside the box are some expensive wines. It probably shattered when it fell to the ground just now. You guys misheard it!”
Only a fool would mishear it.
The person in charge continued to say, “Move it. If you guys are fast enough, I’ll pay you double this time.”
Money talked!
When all the coolies heard “double pay”, they did not care about anything else anymore. It did not matter what was in the box. What mattered was money!
As long as the money was sufficient, they would do whatever they were told. It was because it was impossible to survive without money in this world.
Right then, Thomas walked over.
Other people would be attracted by money, but favonovel.com would not; other people would be afraid to approach because of fear, but favonovel.com would not; other people would turn a blind eye, but favonovel.com would not.
Thomas walked to the box in front of everyone. He held the umbrella and pressed the box. Two coolies exchanged glances as they did not understand what favonovel.com was doing.
“Hey, what are you doing? Don’t disturb our work!”
Thomas said calmly, “Didn’t you guys hear it? There’s a little girl screaming inside. There’s a human inside.”
“Human? It’s impossible! You misheard it!”
Two coolies were about to walk over to move the box away, but Thomas was pressing his weight on it. It was impossible for other people to move it.
Right then, the person in charge walked over and scolded, “Who are you? What’re you doing here? Get lost! Otherwise…”
He snapped his fingers, and a large group of brawny men immediately walked over. A brawny man could not deal with Thomas just now. But now, there was a large group, so favonovel.com believed they could deal with him.
Thomas did not worry at all. He silently moved his hand to his waist. Then, favonovel.com pulled the gun out and fired the gun at the sky.
Bang!
The gunshot sound made everyone lie on the ground in fright. They were afraid of being shot.
Who was he? Why did favonovel.com have a gun?
Thomas did not say anything to them. He aimed the gun at the box’s lock and fired it twice. The lock was unlocked.
Thomas opened the box with force. Then, everyone looked over. They saw that there was actually a little girl in the box!
It was a little girl of about ten years old. She was wearing thin clothes and curled up in the box. She looked very pitiful. The strange thing was that this little girl was unlike ordinary people. There were a lot of flowers on the surface of favonovel.com body.
Yes, there were flowers.
At first, Thomas thought those flowers were the goods in the box. But after favonovel.com looked closely, favonovel.com found that those flowers actually grew on the little girl’s body!
The roots of the flowers were inside the little girl’s body. Plants growing out of a human. She looked like a monster in a science-fiction movie.
People had always been talking about humans in a vegetative state who could not speak and move like plants. Today, Thomas had learned what a real Plant Man was!
Was this little girl still a human?
There were dozens of flowers growing from top to bottom of favonovel.com body. Although they had not yet bloomed and were just flower buds, it could be seen that the flowers had bright colors. At the same time, Thomas discovered something else. The little girl’s eyes were full of fear.
That was not normal fear.
It was a kind of fear between species. It seemed that humans were very terrifying to the little girl. It was just like a white rabbit meeting a big wolf. It was a kind of fear of seeing a natural enemy.
Could it be that this little girl was really not a human being, but an unknown special species?
Was it possible?
Countless doubts arose in Thomas’s heart. What kind of secrets were hidden behind the Art Trading Corporation?
