In the unsheltered wilderness, the night wind seemed to be more fierce than during the day. The bonfire, made of broken branches and dead leaves, flickered and jumped in the wind, and the pillars of smoke dissipated in the air before they could rise into the sky.

There was no other source of light in heaven and earth except this small fire—even the stars that had been somewhat dim in the past were obscured by thick clouds tonight.

In the darkness, six people and one rabbit sat around the fire, and the flickering light of the fire brightened the heavy expressions on everyone's faces. For a long time, no one spoke.

Six hours have passed since Bai Xiaoke and the other three disappeared.

Although no one said it explicitly, everyone knew in their hearts that I was afraid that there was little hope of saving people alive.

Finally the rabbit looked left and right, breaking the silence. It asked a question that it had already confirmed several times: "...... Green meat melon, excellent, excellent, small, say, more, new, fastest, WWW.UUXS.CC|you were in the sky at the time, did you really not see anything unusual? ”

"Really, boss," the green melon cried with a sad face, and his tone was depressed and numb: "I didn't dare to let go of the slightest breeze!" But there was really nothing but the mountains that seemed to be boundless, and there was really nothing...... Not to mention the traces of human activity, I haven't even seen a single bug. ”

- This afternoon, when the light of the [Dog Frisbee] was turned on, and they stopped when they saw that they had left the danger zone, Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered that he could let the green melon put on his [Cloud Mimic Raincoat] and rise into the sky to check the situation.

Although the [Cloud Mimic Raincoat] can only make people rise straight from where they stand, and cannot move in the air, if you can climb high and look far away, you may or may not be able to find something...... It's just that the idea quickly turned into disappointment.

Although they didn't dare to rashly step into that area, everyone also tried their best: the special items that could be released to detect the situation were all released; When they all came back with nothing, it took a lot of effort to catch two bugs, tie them to the wire, and throw them into the area.

In order to figure out what was going on, in addition to the green flesh melon that was watching in the sky, Lin Sanjiu also called out the diary card. Ignoring the constant complaints of "oops, it's disgusting", he tied the card with the bugs and released them together.

When the rope was pulled back, the other end was really empty and there were no bugs, only a diary card that was swaying back and forth - Lin Sanjiu suppressed a burst of excitement in his heart, took it down and looked at it, and found that only one sentence was recorded on the diary card: "At 5:04pm, the disgusting bugs suddenly disappeared." ”

When I called the green melon down and asked him again, his answer was no better-"I only saw two little black shadows roll and disappear...... I didn't see it at all, it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye. ”

At this moment, everyone really fell into a helpless situation.

After a long while, someone suddenly let out a long sigh.

"I'm to blame for this." The person who spoke was Lin Sanjiu, and she looked down at a small piece of ground in front of her: "...... If I hadn't recklessly brought you here, they wouldn't all ...... Missing. ”

I don't know who is one of the twins, and suddenly snorted loudly.

"I can't blame you for this, Sister Lin!" Hui Chuyan was immediately a little anxious: "Come here together, everyone agrees, before approaching this area, you told us all to be on guard...... It's just that this thing is so unreasonable, and no one can predict it! ”

Lin Sanjiu patted her hand lightly, grateful for her intention to defend herself, but he didn't say anything in the end, and he didn't seem to agree with her statement.

There is one more thing that has been buried in her heart and has not been spoken.

…… The place where the lights were lit was no longer where they had stopped at the beginning, at least two or three hundred meters away. Lin Sanjiu thought about it, but couldn't think of the reason for this situation—and what was even more confusing was that the more she thought about it, the more unsure she was of whether she was misremembering.

After all, this neighborhood has long been deserted, and there are weeds and ruins everywhere, all of which look the same, and there is nothing conspicuous that can be used as a mark. At that time, I was in a hurry, and it is very possible to remember the wrong place.

Others don't seem to be aware of this, perhaps as evidence.

“…… Let's break it down. Lin Sanjiu rubbed his face and said as if sighing. ――Now I regret it, and I can't bring people back, so I might as well try harder.

"The bug was released with the diary card, and the bug was gone, but the card was still there...... Does this presumably mean that only living things go missing? Her gaze swept over everyone, with a hint of anticipation.

"That's right." The rabbit immediately responded, "And only what's on the ground will be missing......"

"But the strange thing is that the missing people and insects are not in the same place, they are quite far away from each other......" Xue Yu hesitated and spoke: "If something attacked them, is there more than one of them?" ”

The green meat melon immediately denied her speculation: "It's impossible, let alone several, even if it's just one, I should have discovered it a long time ago." ”

After discussing this, he soon fell into a dead end again - Lin Sanjiu scratched his hair anxiously, and many thoughts rolled through his heart: Is it a mutant creature? Fallen seeds? Special items? Copy?

As soon as the word "copy" came into her mind, she immediately raised her head, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Here...... It can't be a copy, right? Lin Sanjiu said slowly, his heart pounding because of this small breakthrough.

"I'm X, it's possible!" The rabbit suddenly flicked up, "Aren't some copies just silent, and you don't even know if they brought you in!" ”

Except for a newly evolved Xue Yu who still didn't quite understand the meaning of "copy", everyone else also cheered up, swept away the gloomy look just now, and discussed the possibility of a copy for a long time.

"If that's the case, then they may not die for the time being-" Probably because the confusion in everyone's hearts has been alleviated a lot, and the rabbit said the hidden worries in his heart: "Copy, it's impossible to follow the normal routine!" We still have time! ”

Lin Sanjiu also felt that the heaviness that had been pressing on his internal organs had been reduced a lot. Feeling lighter, even her thoughts became much more active, and she immediately answered: "Although I don't know what form this copy is, there must be a next step." We have to be ready...... Well, let's do it, I took out a lot of things from the Eden room, and I will divide them tonight, and strive to increase our maximum combat power in a short time. ”

Before escaping from the Garden of Eden, she instructed the girls who followed her to carry a large bag—and if she could not find a backpack, she tied it with a sheet and made a large cloth bag on her back. After all, there are only 8 things that she can transform by herself, so she only picks out the large items that are difficult to hold, and the small items that she recalls are all slowly turned into cards on the road later.

Lin Sanjiu lined up the things that might come in handy on the ground in the form of cards.

Xue Yu's eyes moved, and the first one picked up a card, which was the [Bubble Blowing Girl] who made them suffer enough at that time.

"This is just right for night guards!" She said a little excitedly.

【Bubble Blowing Girl】:

Produced by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Eden is a sturdy kindergarten girl with a height of 1.8 meters, holding a bottle of soapy water and blowing bubbles. In the bottle of soapy water, there is a pole energy compression device, and the bubbles blown out of it can achieve small explosions. But the most powerful thing is the bubbles' "enemy tracking ability" - they track all the way, and after confirming the enemy's figure, the bubble will explode at the enemy.

Lin Sanjiu nodded, and eliminated the cardization of this machine - suddenly a plastic-like doll with bright colors and a stiff smile on its face appeared in the night, and the tall shadow seemed to bring everyone a sense of security. While Xue Yu was studying how it operated, everyone also looked at the remaining cards and divided them according to their needs.

After having a clue, everyone's mental state was much better, and after experimenting with things for a while, the sister of the twins metaphysically spoke: "...... Boss, it's still early in the morning, isn't it better to rest for a while? ”

Because no one knows what the next step of the copy will be, it is not the way to wait in fear. The rabbit thought about it, and arranged the people who took turns to keep watch in a big way: "I think so, everyone is still recuperating this morning...... Green melon, you're worth two hours of the night, and then change, uh, what's your name? Go back to Chuyan, right......"

Seeing that the rabbit had arranged things in an orderly manner, Lin Sanjiu took out a backpack as a pillow and lay down next to the fire. The rabbit finally instructed, "You should count the number of people every thirty minutes, don't lose anyone!" Only then did they find a comfortable place to lie down, and they became a ball.

It's really like a boss.

Except for the green flesh melon on duty at night, everyone else also lay on the ground in twos and threes. Although no one fell asleep for a while, they still quickly calmed down, and soon even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly.

Staring at the night sky I don't know how long it has been, although Lin Sanjiu has been carrying half of his heart, he actually fell asleep in a daze.

Surprisingly, I slept peacefully - peacefully, and nothing unusual happened.

When she slowly opened her eyes from the dream, it was not yet dawn, the fire had been extinguished, and it was dark everywhere, and she could only faintly see a few shadows not far away, as well as the tall [girl blowing bubbles] beside her.

Nothing seems to have happened...... Lin Sanjiu rubbed his eyes, sat up, and asked in a low voice, "...... Who's on duty now? ”

The wind passed by in the distance, and the only thing that responded to her was silence.

Lin Sanjiu's palms suddenly sweated.

If you look closely, those shadows seem to be the backpacks that everyone uses to sleep on...... However, the backpack was empty, and there were still traces of pressing down.

What about people, people?

Somehow, the first thing she did was to call out the [Canine Frisbee] - and then take it into her mouth.

The lights weren't as bright as she had hoped. R1152
