Under Xiaoqing's bewildered gaze, Shen Yan'er lowered her head and said lightly: "Miao Pu is weak and unable to walk alone, she needs time to recuperate, and she probably can't keep up with your speed." Let's stay for a night's rest and then continue our journey tomorrow......"

Hearing this, Xiaoqing couldn't hold back anymore, and was so anxious that she shouted loudly: "Are you crazy!" Tomorrow the whole tunnel will be dark, pitch black, how can you get out! ”

Having said that, Shen Yan'er was not flustered at all, but said calmly: "We have our own way......" Some indifferent attitude was like a basin of cold water, which extinguished Xiaoqing's worries. Xiaoqing stared at her in a daze, not understanding what she was thinking.

In fact, in order to give Miao Pu time to recover, it was only one of the reasons why Shen Yan'er decided to stay, and as for the second - she didn't dare to say it directly to her face - it was because she didn't want to continue to walk with Yi Xiangxi.

Shen Yan'er also understood that this was her impulsive emotional matter, and understood that the most important thing now was to save her life, and she should not be angry with Yi Xiang. However, she heard a voice in her heart saying that the real danger was not the walking corpse that could be seen and touched, but the company of people who looked like gods, and did not know when they would be betrayed.

Miao Pu is already the best example of this. Shen Yan'er believed that Miao Pu must also want to get out of Yi Xiangxi's sight as soon as possible. Although Yi Xiangxi promised to spare Miao Pu's life, Shen Yan'er didn't know when she would change her mind. Instead of staying in fear by the side of someone who may kill you at any time and surviving secretly, it is better to rely on your own strength and try your best to survive tenaciously in the face of adversity.

"In that case, let's leave it at that. I look forward to seeing you come out of the mass grave alive and meet us again. Regarding Shen Yan'er's departure from the team, Yi Xiang was extremely indifferent. Maybe it's because she has already guessed the second meaning of Shen Yan'er's departure.

After leaving these words, Yi Xiangxi turned around indifferently and decisively to leave. The sound of steady and powerful footsteps faded through the tunnel, becoming deeper and deeper.

Compared with Yi Xiangxi's determination, Xiaoqing, Kou Xuebing and Lu Mingyue were all a little worried about Shen Yan'er. Lu Mingyue followed Yi Xiangxi step by step. And Xiaoqing seemed to want to make a final persuasion, but just as she was about to speak, she was pulled away by Kou Xuebing.

Kou Xuebing, who has been hunting since childhood, said to Shen Yan'er: "Your eyes are like a desperate beast that still struggles to the death, no one can persuade you to change your mind, and no one can tell you that you are right or wrong in doing so." It's only when you put in the last push that the result you get can determine what you're right from. ”

There were only two of them, either dead or alive. It is wrong to die, it is right to live. Nothing could be more accurate than this. From this sentence, it sounds like Kou Xuebing is more supportive of Shen Yan'er's decision to stay than Xiaoqing. Maybe it's because she grew up in the mountains and was in the company of wild beasts, she knows better how to follow instinctive judgments, while Xiaoqing, who has been wandering the rivers and lakes, knows better how to tend to the flames and take advantage of the shade of the big trees.

Shen Yan'er nodded and said goodbye to the two of them with her eyes. Seeing the two of them chase after Yi Xiangxi's back, which had already left far away, they didn't retract their gaze until they couldn't see it anymore.

"Get that thing out." Shen Yan'er said to Xiao Hei. The reason why she dared to choose to stay was because she had been prepared for a long time. The "thing" in her words is the "method" in the "own way" she just said to Xiaoqing.

The little black nodded in understanding, and took out a lantern from his wide clothes. In the lamp was the grease they had collected along the way before they met Lu Mingyue. As long as there is this lamp, even if the lights are completely extinguished in the mass grave, there is no fear of being swallowed by the darkness.

Shen Yan'er tiredly instructed Xiao Hei and said, "Collect all the grease around here." The ninth and tenth days - the last two days are certainly enough. ”

Shen Yan'er and Xiao Hei helped Miao Pu back to the supply warehouse. Miao Pu's whole body was still soft, and he curled up motionless towards the corner of the wall. From the back, it seemed that she was asleep, but Shen Yan'er knew that Miao Pu, who had suffered a heavy setback in Yi Xiangxi, could not sleep. The reason why she lies quietly like this, unwilling to communicate with anyone, is probably because she is alone and doesn't know how to deal with her "friends" who fall from the sky.

No matter what Miao Pu thought, Shen Yan'er decided to help her get through this difficulty for the time being because she and Xiao Hei were of the same clan. As for whether she will repay her kindness in the future, or whether she will take revenge, don't think about it now.

On the way back to the supply warehouse, Blackie collected all the grease from the lanterns on both sides of the tunnel into one lamp. So now, except for the two ever-bright lights in the supply warehouse, the tunnel outside is already pitch black, and it has entered a state of complete lights out in advance.

The corpses lying at the door of the supply warehouse emitted a pungent smell of blood, and to be honest, it was really difficult to rest well in such a place. Shen Yan'er frowned, her heart full of endless melancholy. After simply eating some dry food, she curled up in the corner, took out Ah Zhen's hair and stroked it gently, and fell into sad memories.

lost Ah Zhen, and realized for the first time that he was so lonely.

As soon as I thought of Ah Zhen falling in the tunnel like those walking corpses outside, and I would be completely cleaned up by the Royal Forest Army in two days, my heart was filled with inexplicable grief. And the only thing he can do for her is to live tenaciously, and then worship her with the truth, so that she can rest in peace under the nine springs.

Shen Yan'er was thinking about it, when she suddenly felt a black shadow approaching behind her. Before he could react to what was going on, he felt that his head was gently pulled from the side, and then he naturally followed the gentle force and leaned on the shoulder of the black shadow.

"Blackie?" Shen Yan'er raised her head slightly in surprise and looked at Xiao Hei's side face.

He was staring intently at the dark doorway, as if he was on guard for the walking corpses outside, keeping watch for everyone. Although he didn't say a word, Shen Yan'er heard the voice in his heart like a psychic goddess.

"Take a break." He seemed to be saying that.

So Shen Yan'er completely relaxed, gently closed her eyes, and snuggled up to him like a small animal. The weight that had been heavy on his shoulders a moment ago turned into green smoke in an instant, and the smelly air he breathed into his body seemed to become much fresher.

Fortunately, there was still Xiao Hei here, and Shen Yan'er couldn't help but think so.

As long as I think about it, a smile of relief unconsciously appears on the corner of my mouth. This is the only sustenance that can comfort her in the bitterness. It's time to take a good rest and relax the nerves that have been tense too much. Because tomorrow is the real battle.
