Chapter 49: Learning
Retribution came so quickly!
While everyone was resting by the campfire with their hearts fed and satisfied, the batmen, who had covered a large area of the sky, suddenly attacked, disemboweled many sleeping creatures and quickly left.
The whole process came and went like electricity, and the supporters didn't even have time to raise their weapons.
The next night, everyone was prepared, but the Batman did not come.
On the afternoon of the third day, while the three supporters were building a watchtower, the Batman attacked them from a high place, and all of them fell to their deaths......
Each time, Kurban would shout for blood debt, but the cunning Batman would no longer want to go head-to-head with a guarded supporter!
Since then, the bat-man has come out at any time like an appendage and killed one or two people, and everyone tried every possible way to prevent it, but to no avail.
Gradually, the losses of the supporters grew, and finally only a few men in their early 200s remained, and gloomy clouds began to loom over the Pangu Heights.
At this rate, within half a year, all the supporters will die under the crazy revenge of the Batman.
In desperation, Haruko finds Ge Jin, and is surprised to find that the former man as strong as a brown bear is actually emaciated, lazily curled up on the wooden floor.
"Where is our way out? Commander! Haruko held the spear in her hand, and there was a powerful indignation that had nowhere to go.
"A way out? Anyone still wants to know the way out?! Ge Jin grinned, seemingly a little surprised by Haruko's question. It seems that Kurban has not yet gained the trust of everyone! β
Haruko knew why Gejin said this, and in a recent conflict, Kurban easily defeated Gejin and nearly broke his one arm.
In such a dark time, one defeat is enough to make a commander who is no longer imposing lose everyone's trust.
Haruko didn't ignore Ge Jin's complaints, but asked him bluntly, "Why didn't you give the order to set off towards the Lingjin Mountain Range?!" Why don't you go out of your way to join the Forerunners? β
Can't wait to answer, Haruko said aggressively again: "Even if you risk your life, you will be cowered in this town and wait for death!" β
"Huh!" Ge Jin laughed miserably, scratched his back with his remaining right arm, and then looked at Haruko teasingly, "Where is the forerunner?" Do you have their coordinates? How did I forget wow? β
"You!" Haruko stomped her foot hard, eager to put her spear on Ge Jin's neck.
"Do you remember what Li Ling said when he left?" Ge Jin didn't pay attention to Haruko's angry gaze, but leaned back on the animal skin pillow and asked slowly.
"Li Ling?! He said......" Haruko thought for a moment before saying, "you!" β
"No, not that!" Ge Jin shook his head, squeezed his eyebrows, and said in Li Ling's tone: "I have a hunch that there is a huge danger lurking in this world!" We have to tread carefully. β
After saying that, Ge Jin laughed to himself, as if he was laughing at Li Ling for being a mysterious deserter.
"What's the use? Now everyone knows that there is danger! What's the point of saying that?! Haruko shook her head in disappointment, thinking that Gzin was just trying to make excuses for her decadence.
"One more word - stay calm, let everyone stay calm!" Ge Jin stared into Haruko's eyes and spoke again. "This sentence is kind of useful, I have already told everyone, but everyone just didn't listen, so I had to stick to it alone. Now it seems that I did not fall into madness like the group of people in Kurban, probably because of Li Ling's advice. Speaking of this, Ge Jin glanced Haruko up and down, and said, "You did a good job, but now you have become impetuous." β
"Yes, I'm going crazy!" Haruko admitted. "I can't just watch my companions die one after the other in a calm state! We have to do something. β
"Alright! If you believe that guy, go find him! Ge Jin straightened up and looked out into the dark twilight of the house. Please tell him that if he doesn't come back, by the time he finds some bullshit answers, his companions will be turned into bones and feces, and maybe a few madmen will survive! β
Haruko raised her right hand, gave a standard military salute, and turned and walked out.
"Take Ma Xiyu with you, Li Ling saved his life! And, he'll be happy to walk with you. Ge Jin admonished behind him.
"Thank you!" Haruko spoke.
"Also, if Li Ling doesn't want to come back, repeat my words to him!" Ge Jin said again, and then, as if he was stuck in a memory, he muttered word by word: "If you really find any conspiracy, it doesn't matter if it's the precursors or the beasts of this world." Remember to come back and tell me, and tell these brothers behind you. ...... anytime, anywhere"
Haruko silently remembered it and nodded, not wanting to delay for a second any longer, and strode out of Gejin's residence.
Recovering from her memories, Haruko's eyelids gradually became heavy, and in the haze, she noticed a dim star in the night sky, and she couldn't help but think of her hometown, Japan.
Although she came to live in China when she was in junior high school, her childhood memories are clear and indelible.
She thought of her parents, brothers, sisters, companions and friends, and remembered the way they squinted and smiled, bowed and apologized, and they were so kind and formal!
Especially those girls, how obedient and timid they are, always hoping that there is a strong person in front of them to lead them and protect them......
Gradually, Haruko's chest continued to rise and fall, and her breathing became heavy, but the hut and flowers beside her made her think so hard that she didn't want to close her eyes.
She began to face her inner thoughts, how she wished that the woman who had slept in this humble hut next to her was herself, not Qin Xiaoyu.
She even ...... even longed for Li Ling's hugs and kisses......
Haruko couldn't help but gasp with a strong sense of shame.
She used to behave so indistinctly, focusing on Li Ling's injury, and sincerely wishing Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu's relationship.
But now, in this unknown wilderness, in this cold and dark night, she felt another self, and for the first time she was jealous.
"γγΏγΎγγγγζζ°γγγγ." Before falling asleep, Haruko muttered and moved her lips.
β¦β¦
In the Iron Wall Canyon, a gray-white figure hung his hands and closed his eyes, standing quietly at the bottom of a dead valley, even if occasionally mosquitoes fell on his body, he did not move at all, like a stone sculpture.
"Bang!" After a puff of incense, the figure threw a punch and slammed it into the rock wall of the canyon. Judging from the sound that reverberated through the canyon, it was full of force.
With a punch, the figure did not make any more movements, and kept the posture of swinging his right fist. A light breeze swept through his body, but it couldn't blow the short stubble hair!
Tranquility was restored to the valley once again.
One second...... Two seconds...... Ten seconds later, "Hiss...... It hurts! The young man bent down and clenched his fists, inhaling cold air again and again.
On closer inspection, this gray-skinned, grinning young man was Li Ling, who had been masochistic in the canyon for more than a month. At this time, he was testing the results of his training.
Perhaps it was overwork that made him a little sluggish, Li Ling felt that his sense of pain was not as sensitive as before, and he couldn't help frowning.
This is a red flag! Especially in the heat of battle or when encountering danger, the sensitive sensory system can allow him to respond and avoid danger in time.
However, thinking of the benefits of the crazy training these days, Li Ling grinned again.
In the past month, Li Ling has experienced inhuman torture in the Shibi Canyon. There were even several times when he was almost swept off a bottomless cliff by a hurricane. But each time, the countless tiny wounds on his body would heal the next day. Even some horrible-looking wounds heal in less than three days, and not even scars.
Subconsciously, Li Ling had already regarded these rats as small animals such as divine beasts, and their flesh and blood were naturally extremely precious, and he was reluctant to waste a little.
Later, his skin became extremely pliable, and the strong wind and flying sand at the edge of the canyon could hardly hurt him in the slightest.
As a result, Li Ling's courage became bigger and bigger, and he began to move towards the area with higher wind speed. The last few times, he was almost standing in the middle of the wind with the highest wind speed and the most flying sand and rocks.
Li Ling even had some expectations, if he continued to train, would his body become as tough as steel, and directly blast out a way out of the stone wall with his fists?
It's a pity that the result was not as expected, just now Li Ling threw a punch with all his strength, the stone wall was still smooth and flat, but he was in tears.
If this had been before, Li Ling estimated that he was already in a cold sweat, and even rolled on the spot!
"It seems that this kind of training and growth is not enough!" Li Ling thought a little anxiously.
Compared to the physical pain, the worry about Qin Xiaoyu and his companions tormented him anytime and anywhere.
That feeling was getting stronger and stronger as time went on, and he couldn't have a trace of peace or slackness.
As if crazy, Li Ling swung with all his strength on the stone wall, the skin on his fist cracked, and red blood splattered in all directions......

In the clearing by the river, Qin Xiaoyu stared at Nai Yin and the remnant wing with a grin.
Naine looks like a huge fat rabbit, but when it stands up, its body and slender paws make women jealous. And the appearance of the remnant wing is a little strange, the eyes are round, the mouth is protruding, like a leopard not a leopard, like a dog not a dog, with limbs but wings like a bat, the appearance looks a little cruel, ugly, but a little funny.
Now, the eyes of both beasts were fixed on her, expecting her performance.
Qin Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled again, she had never thought that there would be such a day: two beasts eagerly surrounded her, coercing and luring her to study.
She couldn't wait to tell Li Ling about this and tell every relative and friend. If there is an internet, she will definitely share this wonderful feeling as soon as possible.
"Eatβeatβ" Stump suddenly opened his mouth and spat out his fangs. The ferocious appearance is enough to scare the crying children passing by.
But Qin Xiaoyu was unmoved, she stared at the ugly face covered with uneven fangs and hair, wondering if it knew that there were such things as brushing teeth and washing faces in the world?
"Smack!" Nayin stretched out his claws like lightning, knocked Qin Xiaoyu's head, and said dissatisfiedly: "Please concentrate when studying!" Remnant Wing has issued a stern warning to you! β
"Oh!" Qin Xiaoyu rubbed his head in annoyance. "What does it say?!"
