Maybe too much time has passed, and when they arrived at the destination, the group did not see the shadow of the "strange beast", but the teammates dispersed, and when they looked around, Si Moxue found that the ground had been trampled on the withered branches and leaves.

"It should have been left behind when I left with the 'alien beast'." Tank twisted the broken leaves on the ground with his hands, sniffed them, and said.

The imprint of the fallen leaf is very narrow, but the span between the imprint is so great that even if you see and hear as wide as a tank, you can't think of what kind of animal it is.

Since you can't think of it, let's catch up and find out.

"Follow along."

Ignoring the fearful gaze, Stann commanded.

So the group of thirteen men, either full of fear or gearing up, all slowed down and followed the trail of the dry grass towards the place where the imprint extended.

However, several people chased until dark, and broke the clues, but they couldn't find the slightest figure of the "strange beast". There are no genetically improved hybrids in the team, and it is becoming more and more difficult to move an inch.

"Now this place is all hard gravel and gravel, and even if something runs over it, it won't leave a trace." Si Moxue followed the team and looked around, and turned her head to talk to Opus, "I think it's better to stop and camp here to rest at this time, and look for it tomorrow." ”

I don't know why, ever since she felt Opus's scrutinizing gaze at her at the gate of the outer city, the young man who could make Stein put away his shelves has been following her from time to time.

At first, Si Moxue even thought that Opus had sent her something on the day of the Zhou Festival.

"Well, this place is empty now, and there are no bushes or anything like that around where snakes and insects can hide, so if you don't keep tracking, it's a good place to camp."

Opus replied to Sim Xue, and it seemed that the two were fine.

But Si Moxue was overwhelmed by the inexplicable aura on his body, and she was sure that she hadn't seen Opus before. But for some reason, when facing him, she always felt empty.

She wanted to shout and ask Opus why she did it, but that wasn't her style. Si Moxue is a forbearant person, and since Opus has not shown hostility towards him, he will treat him as a teammate to chat with for the time being.

"Camp on the spot for one night, and then continue tomorrow." The order came from the front of the line. Although he is eager for quick success, he is by no means a reckless person.

After this pursuit, he can also see that most of the team members are tired. Anyway, the clue is broken, so it's better to take advantage of the right surroundings and rest for a night.

The team members took the order, kneading their sore thighs and spreading them out. The life of the fire, the cleaning of the clean-up, the tent of the tent. Soon, a small, rather professional camp was taking shape.

Thirteen people live in three tents - although Si Moxue is a girl, no one pays attention to it at this time. Si Moxue sprinkled the insect repellent powder developed by the Oasis Laboratory around the camp and returned to the fire.

"Eat, eat, it's still hot." With a malicious smile, Liang Wenruo handed her a pitted metal lunch box with a paste made of compressed dry food.

The mush tasted weird, and it was sticky in the mouth, almost sliding down your throat and into your stomach. It's really not a pleasure to eat.

But Si Moxue drank the whole lunch box without changing his face, and put the empty lunch box on the open ground in front of him.

"Damn, woman, you can get this thing in your mouth." Liang Wenruo slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I always feel that drinking this thing will block my throat and eyes." ”

"Then if you still drink it, give it to me if you don't drink, I don't dislike it." Si Moxue also got acquainted with Liang Wenruo along the way, and joked.

"Eat, if you don't eat, you'll starve." Liang Wenruo hurriedly put the remaining half of the lunch box in his arms.

Si Moxue didn't mess with him anymore, her fingers knocked on the lunch box in front of her, and asked Liang Wenruo: "You know how to heal, I saw you prick that person's face with a needle before, it looks like ......"

She thought for a while, and hesitantly spat out a word she saw in the book when she was still organizing Aunt Hua: "Acupuncture? ”

"Uh...... It's acupuncture. Liang Wenruo swallowed the paste in his mouth and made a vomiting expression before saying, "The elder in my family, who is my father's grandfather, used to be a very famous Chinese medicine doctor in the old world, and his family also collected a lot of medical skills. ”

"Although I lost most of it when I moved into the oasis, I still have a few copies in my possession. One of those books was about acupuncture in Chinese medicine, which I used to read in the middle of the time. ”

Liang Wenruo took another sip of mush, and swallowed it into his stomach with a sad face: "I really haven't drunk such a bad thing...... However, after the apocalypse, both the evolutionary human and the genetically hybrid human constitution have been greatly improved, and the little I learned is almost useless. ”

"It's useful, didn't you stab your face and wake up that scumbag?"

“…… I prick the middle of the upper lip, the indentation in the middle of the upper lip, the finger pinch or acupuncture to treat coma or something like that. Liang Wenruo silently wiped his sweat and gave Sim Xue a popular science.

At this time, Opus, who was sitting next to the two of them and drinking dry food silently, suddenly spoke: "What did you tell him?" ”

This sentence was a clueless question, but Sim Moxue and Liang Wenruo still understood what Opus meant—he was asking Liang Wenruo what the witnesses said to him after they woke up.

Liang Wenruo swallowed the last mouthful of paste in the lunch box, and put the lunch box on the ground without hurry, before he spoke: "I'll tell him...... I know you're not crazy. ”

Opus looked puzzled, he stood at the end of the line, not seeing the details of the shack, only that everyone who asked along the way said in unison that the witness had gone mad, and shouted for the residents to leave the gathering area.

Why did Liang Wenruo say that the man was not crazy?

If that's the case, then why is he pretending to be crazy?

Liang Wenruo, who had always talked a lot, didn't answer at this time, he looked at Si Moxue - at that time, except for Liang Wennuo and Si Tan, who were blocking the door, Si Moxue knew everything in the shed best.

"Yes, he's not crazy." Si Moxue noticed Liang Wenruo's gaze at her, and took over the conversation, "I found out when I walked into the shack, that person's eyes looked like they were glancing around, in fact, he had been secretly observing you. ”

Si Moxue is a person with sharp instincts, and these details have not escaped her eyes.

"And even the action of him hiding by the side of the bed is also a posture where his whole body is accumulating strength and can break through at any time." Si Moxue continued.

"He can say that he pretends to be very similar, but these details betray him." Liang Wenruo concluded.

"That...... What are you talking about? An abrupt voice came from the side.

Si Moxue turned her head and found that it was Link, the trainee hunter who had collapsed on the street.

The fire was not big, and the people sitting around were very close to each other, and the three of them were discussing a little loudly just now, and Link heard some news.

Link saw that although Simxue and Opus were a little colder, they were not indifferent and ruthless people, so he boldly stepped forward: "That person is witnessing pretending to be crazy, fake, I see that he is shaking so much, it doesn't look like he is pretending." ”

"Maybe it's because of the pain." Opus opened his mouth coolly. When he entered the shack, he saw bandages on his abdomen and blood spilling from the ground—it was supposed to be a very serious wound.

"That hurts......" Link didn't believe it.

"It could also be fear." Liang Wenruo was unusual, holding his chin with one hand, and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps, the hell demon he said is true." Maybe it's hiding in a corner that we can't see, watching us......"

"Ahh ”

He jerked his head away, only to see a teammate standing behind him with wet hands.

"Neurotic. Do you know that people are scary, and they will be scared to death. The teammate clutched his frightened chest and said indignantly, "Have you finished eating, and you are ready to rest when you finish eating." Link, you're the first vigil of the day. ”

"Sleep, sleep." Liang Wenruo took the lead in picking up the lunch box and humming a little song to clean it. Smoxue and Opus followed him.

"So, no ghosts?" Link stroked the goosebumps that had erupted on his arm and said to himself in confusion.

Tomorrow they had to get up early to set out in search of the beast, and the team soon fell asleep, and the camp resounded with snoring one after another.

For a while, under the gloomy clouds, the sky and the earth were vast and silent.

As far as the eye can see, within a radius of dozens of meters, there is only a withered ugly plant, making a "whoosh" sound in the night wind.

Link sat in front of the fire, holding a long stick and pulling the burning wood, stirring up a spark.

Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong with his surroundings—

In the darkness around the camp, several clusters of glowing light lit up......
