In the dead of night, the cold moon hangs high. Shen Yan'er curled up in the wooden box and slept groggyly, although she was wearing the coat that Xiao Hei had taken off, she still didn't keep warm, she was slightly shivering from the cold, and she couldn't fall asleep completely at all. It's just a short time to recuperate, save some energy, and save Baoyin tomorrow while the chaos is in chaos.

Xiao Hei held the long sword he carried when he was in the mass grave, and leaned quietly against the wooden box. His eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be asleep, but his consciousness was very clear, and he would jump up at the slightest disturbance.

Cold air poured in through the cracks in the warehouse windows, like cold snow water brushing over the skin. It's so peaceful, so quiet that it doesn't seem to belong to Peicheng, which has been overrun by the walking dead.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei opened his eyes suddenly. The dark pupils stared in the direction of the door, and the warehouse door was closed, so that it was impossible to see what was going on outside. He held his breath, moved his ears and nose, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Yan'er." Realizing that the situation was not good, Xiao Hei immediately got up and pushed Shen Yan'er in the wooden box.

Shen Yan'er didn't sleep deeply, she woke up at once, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?" The worst she could think of was the walking corpses. However, Blackie's answer was......

"Hurry up! It looks like there's a fire outside. With that, Xiao Hei quickly rushed to the door, and without waiting for Shen Yan'er to react, he pushed open the wooden box that they had deliberately moved behind the door before going to bed, and then slammed open the warehouse door.

At this moment, the dark night was dyed a bright red.

Shen Yan'er gasped in fright, unable to believe what appeared in front of her.

The houses about 100 meters away were all surrounded by flames, and the raging flames continued to expand outward with the help of the wind. Peicheng was originally a dead city, and the number of walking corpses was dozens of times that of the living. In such a situation, no one will give the order to extinguish the fire at all.

"Oh no, I'm afraid Sulhada has already evacuated." Shen Yan'er rushed to Xiao Hei's side as fast as she could, looking up at the row of burning rooms under the bright moon just like him. "At this rate, by dawn tomorrow, the entire Peicheng will be burned down."

"It's good, how can it suddenly catch fire?" Xiao Hei's eyebrows tightened, and he subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand. If the enemy is a walking corpse, he can fight bloodily and fight his way out of the encirclement, but in the face of the raging fire in front of him, even he can't do anything.

"I'm afraid it didn't come suddenly, but ......" As she spoke, Shen Yan'er subconsciously lowered her eyebrows. Having long since recovered from her sleep, she quickly realized the secret behind the fire. "Sulhada ordered the fire."

Sulehada knew that King Ning's reinforcements had arrived, and most of his men had become walking corpses, and he was not King Ning's opponent at all. And if Fei Yue is allowed to manipulate the walking corpse to fight with King Ning, then King Ning will definitely suffer heavy losses. After that, the matter reached the ears of Phoenix Ke, and his desire for peace came to naught. So, the command of Sulhada ordered a retreat.

And the reason why it was necessary to burn down Peicheng before retreating was because he was afraid that after the arrival of King Ning, not only would he not be able to deal with the walking corpses in Peicheng, but he would let the walking corpses spread, causing a strict situation in which neither country could control it. Setting fire to the city and leaving is the safest decision.

"Xiao Hei, the only way to save Baoyin is now!" Shen Yan'er grabbed Xiao Hei's wrist, and wanted to encourage him and give him strength, but she didn't expect her arm to tremble uncontrollably. Not because of cowardice and fear, but because of nervousness.

A voice came clearly from the bottom of my heart: You can't save Baoyin.

However, Shen Yan'er just couldn't open her mouth to let Xiao Hei give up. She knew what Bao Yin meant to Xiao Hei, and when Xiao Hei first talked about Bao Yin in the quiet tunnel of the mass grave, she knew that Bao Yin was an unusual existence in Xiao Hei's mind.

Even if it's not love, it's far more than love.

"Yan'er, you wait for me here. I'll join you after I rescue Bao Yin. "Time is pressing, and Xiao Hei can't delay for a moment. After he gave a brief explanation, he was about to rush out the door with his sword drawn. But Shen Yan'er grabbed him and shook her head firmly.

"No, I'll go with you. The situation on the other side of the cell is complicated, there are soldiers and walking corpses, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to return here after you rescue Baoyin. I went with you to save Bao Yin, but we escaped together. ”

In an instant, Shen Yan'er had made a decisive decision.

In fact, there is another better way besides this method. It was Xiao Hei who went to save Bao Yin, and she returned the same way, escaped from Peicheng over the wall, and waited outside Pei Cheng for Xiao Hei to take Bao Yin to meet her, and the three of them returned to Jiyang together.

In this way, Xiao Hei doesn't have to take her to get in the way when she goes to save Baoyin, and she doesn't have to get caught in the fighting and melee, but can escape from Peicheng more safely.

However, she knew that Xiao Hei would never agree.

If she proposes to act separately from Xiao Hei, it is tantamount to letting Xiao Hei choose between her and Bao Yin. Not only is this a waste of time, it's pointless.

"I'm not the Shen Yan'er I used to be, I've killed a lot of walking corpses, and I've struggled to escape from the death line several times. Not only can I protect myself, but I can also help you. As she spoke, Shen Yan'er had already pulled out her mother's relic, the Blood Jade Sword. A dangerous battle was chosen over a safe escape. That's right—she said to herself. As a woman standing by Xiao Hei's side, fighting is the right choice.

Maybe it was because he saw the resoluteness in Shen Yan'er's eyes, or maybe because he had already believed in Shen Yan'er's ability, this time Xiao Hei didn't object, and immediately nodded in agreement after a moment of silence. He didn't say much, but he sent great encouragement with his eyes.

Shen Yan'er looked at him, and her heart, which was beating wildly because of nervousness, miraculously calmed down, restoring the most intense heartbeat that should have been before the battle.

#

There was no one in the place where Bao Yin was imprisoned. Shen Yan'er and Xiao Hei only saw the empty cell and the large open iron door, and there were still traces of chains and mottled drops of blood on the ground—it was clear that Bao Yin had been taken away.

You can find Baoyin by following the blood stains and blood stains, Xiao Hei is a master at distinguishing footprints, and this little thing will not bother him. But what Shen Yan'er was most worried about was that Baoyin had been taken to Sulehada. She didn't have the confidence to save people right under Sulhada's nose.

"Yan'er, do you have any good ideas?" Xiao Hei also thought of this, so he didn't rush to track it down, but hurriedly asked Shen Yan'er about countermeasures.

Shen Yan'er lowered her eyes, and was very reluctant to say the following words: "It's not that there is no way, it's just that ......" The countermeasure has already been thought of, but it will trap Xiaohei in injustice.

"Just what?" Xiao Hei hurriedly asked.

"I want to think about whether this is really the only way left......

"There's no time left, what the hell is going to do?"

Xiao Hei excitedly grabbed Shen Yan'er's shoulder, Shen Yan'er raised her head in horror, looked at Xiao Hei with madness in her eyes, and felt a little strange in a trance. Almost instinctively, she said dumbfoundedly: "Kill Fei Yue......"

The most effective way is to kill Fei Yue. (To be continued.) )
