Haruko is not Ma Xiyu's boss, but her tone is unquestionable.

Ma Xiyu shrugged her shoulders, ate some dry food casually to pad her stomach, and also lay down beside Haruko.

The heavy night slowly descended, as if it wanted to wrap the whole world tightly, and it was dull and breathless. Fortunately, the starlight from faraway space pierced the boundless darkness and brought light and hope to the creatures of this world.

Time passed little by little, Ma Xiyu gradually snored, but Haruko's closed eyes slowly opened.

......Looking up at the starry sky, Haruko sighed softly, as if she wanted to release all the depression and troubles suppressed in her heart and completely dissipate in this cold world.

"If you're lucky, as long as Ma Xiyu and I go down this river, we should find Li Ling and his girlfriend soon." Haruko thought to herself.

When they set out to find the couple, she and Ma Xiyu only had the only clue - the sentence that Li Ling told Qin Xiaoyu before leaving: "When the sun jumps out of the horizon, we set off along the river, and there should be something we are looking for in the forests and valleys downstream!" ”

Ma Xiyu insisted that Li Ling didn't need to lie, that must be the goal of their long journey, but Haruko felt that it was just a poem that Li Ling said casually to flirt.

Now it seems that Ma Xiyu is right! Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu did not leave the vicinity of the river, as evidenced by the small hut that once stood on the edge of a beautiful crescent-shaped lake and was once covered with flowers and hay.

Thinking that Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu had lived happily here, hunting, bathing, playing, and using flowers and hay as beds, Haruko's heart actually swelled with a trace of jealousy, and she even forgot that Li Ling had explained why she wanted to run away.

More eagerly, Haruko wanted to see Li Ling and asked him loudly, "Why?" Why run away? As a guardian among the supporters and a commander among the defenders, why do you only care about running away irresponsibly with your beloved girl?! ”

"Have you forgotten who you are? Have you forgotten your mission?! The next moment, Haruko couldn't help but shout.

She immediately closed her mouth tightly and quietly glanced at Ma Xiyu. Thankfully, he wasn't awakened, saliva running down the corners of his mouth, soaking the dirt on his cheeks. This young man, who claimed to be a pity for the jade, slept like a dead pig at the moment.

Haruko retracted her gaze and began to review the series of changes and disasters that the supporters had experienced in the short few months since Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu left.

In the beginning, Ge Jin led the supporters to expand and fortify their first base on Sirte, named Longshou Town, and the high ground where the base was located was called Pangu by everyone.

The third commander, Kurban, spared no effort to teach the participants how to train them in combat, and gathered them to collect and make enough food and weapons. It looks like a big war is imminent. Although everyone did not understand Kurban's fanaticism, no one felt that it was superfluous to plan ahead.

Under the seemingly wise leadership of the two commanders, although Longshou Town did not yet have the size and structure of a town, it developed well, and was divided into areas with distinct functions such as craftsmen, reserves, animal husbandry, rest, and training. Everything is developing rapidly according to the original assumptions.

However, the good times did not last long, and everything was changed by the reconnaissance team sent by Kurban.

Haruko vividly remembers the sparkle in Kurban's eyes when the reconnaissance team returned to report to Kurban that they had discovered a batman cave dozens of miles away.

Without hesitation, Kurban immediately gathered most of his supporters—two hundred of them, including Haruko, who had participated in combat training—and headed for the goal. Only Ge Jin, who seemed hesitant for the first time, and some old and weak supporters were left behind to stay in Longshou Town.

The battle was carefully arranged on a cloudy night, and not a single starlight could penetrate such a thick darkness.

The hole in the batman's lair is unbelievably large, and the size of the den can easily swallow a house. At night, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, but Haruko could clearly sense its outline, like a giant mouth, waiting for everyone to throw themselves into the net.

Haruko wants to warn Kurban, but her instincts tell her not to act rashly. But no one listened to her, and she couldn't even squeeze into Kurban, who was surrounded in the middle by the guards.

After intense and careful planning, Kurban and his cronies ordered everyone to light their torches at the same time, and rushed towards the batman's lair with a howl.

Haruko didn't move, she felt like everyone was wrapped in a huge shadow.

At a distance of a few dozen paces from the entrance of the cave, countless startled batmen rushed out, flashing their wide wings, extinguishing many torches, and screaming and attacking some of the people who rushed to the front with their fangs and fangs.

With the bluffing roars and terrible screams of the supporters, maiming and death erupt at the same time as the battle begins!

"Rush up! Throw torches into the cave and burn those beasts to death! Otherwise, everyone will die in the dark! Kurban shouted and directed everyone forward, not paying the slightest attention to the miserable cries of his companions in front of him.

It was only then that everyone realized in horror that in such a dark night, if they could not block most of the batmen in their burrows and kill them with fire and smoke. When the torches in their hands are burned out, everyone will become a living target for these flying beasts with night vision, waiting to be hunted and killed.

"Kurban is right!" This was Haruko's sudden thought, and she immediately screamed, beckoning those who were left behind to follow her, not even having time to think about how Kurban and his cronies could have come up with such a stupid decision to attack in the dark of night.

Soon, many people reacted, and rushed towards the entrance of the cave with a series of batmen flying out head-on.

But it's not enough! Many timid supporters took advantage of the firelight to see the bodies cut by the claws of the Batman, and their footsteps stopped.

A young man with a young face who rushed to the front even trembled and kept moving backwards.

As Haruko passed by him, she shouted for him to follow her steps, ready to throw the torch in her hand into the batman's lair.

"Coward!" A roar exploded from not far away. Immediately after, Haruko saw Kurban appear at the young man's side, and raised the spear in his hand without saying anything.

Haruko looked at the male-faced Kurban in amazement, not knowing what he was going to do.

The young man turned his head at the last moment, perhaps frightened and stupid, or maybe dying and unable to believe what was in front of him, but just stood there stupidly, watching Kurban's spear pierce his neck, penetrating half a meter long.

Haruko's heart was raised to her throat in an instant, and it seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand, unable to breathe or move. I watched as Kurban slowly drew his spear and kicked the young man in the stomach.

"Bang!" The young man's body fell in front of Haruko, shaking violently, and blood spurted out of her throat and splashed at her feet.

The young man saw Haruko above her and stretched out his hand to her, trying to ask for help, but he couldn't make a sound.

Haruko took a few steps back in horror before she knelt down as if she had just woken up from a dream, and pressed her palms on his neck in a bit of panic, trying to stop the loss of blood.

Behind him there was the sound of spears piercing through flesh again, and two short screams, and Kurban killed two more of his companions who tried to escape in quick succession.

"Whoever flees must die! Just like those savage brutes! Kurban shouted. Ma Qiang, the captain of the guard, and a few other cronies cheered as if they had lost their minds.

Kurban's methods were ruthless and effective. Soon, everyone no longer hesitated, and rushed forward in a crowd, throwing the torches in their hands into the depths of the cave.

Everyone raised their spears and pointed logs in their hands and aimed them in the direction of the cave, trying to block the batmen who had no time to fly out of the cave. At the same time, some of them have to face attacks from outside the cave and from above......

The battle lasted for most of the night, and when no more batmen rushed out of the cave, the attacks of the batmen in the sky became more and more frequent.

With the last torch extinguished, the batman's attack also reached its climax. Everyone stabbed indiscriminately in the darkness to the top of their heads, trying to stop the batman's attack. It's a pity that the screams of the companions almost broke everyone's spirits completely.

"Hide in the cave!" I don't know who shouted a few times in the confusion.

Everyone immediately crowded and trampled each other into the smoke-filled cave, and stood near the entrance of the cave to resist the attack of the batman, and finally stabilized their position.

Perhaps the battle was so fierce that even the stars could not be seen, and they pierced through the clouds and shone bright stars on the ground where the cave was located.

The batmen hovering around knew that it would be difficult to kill the raiders hiding at the entrance of the cave, and after hovering in the air for a long time, they reluctantly flew away.

Everyone stayed at the entrance of the cave and did not dare to act rashly, and only when it was dawn did some of the more daring people go to the depths of the cave, wanting to see how many batmen were killed by the smoke.

Haruko didn't go inside, she didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like inside, even if the enemy was some savage beast, she didn't want to see those miserable deaths.

But she heard other people's descriptions that it was a hell for beasts who deserved to be cut off. There were few full-grown batmen inside, and perhaps they all flew away, and the smoke that died in the depths of the cave were all cubs, many of which were pink and smooth as baby skin, and their bodies were the size of fists, but their faces were very hateful......

In one battle, more than 30 supporters were lost, and nearly half of them were wounded!

What is even more chilling is that Kurban and his cronies brazenly cheered victory, and even sang and danced in the square of Longshou Town, and held a bonfire party.
