Chapter 26: Trust and Crisis
After being attacked by the dark ghosts that night, the entire escort team lost morale, and the team members were like chickens drenched in the rain, drooping their heads, waiting for death to come.
Li Qing took on the task of revitalizing himself, and wherever he went, the team members could temporarily raise their heads and look up at Li Qing as if they saw hope.
Throughout the day, Li Qing shuttled between the team members, constantly encouraging them, these behaviors were seen by Yue Lai, he didn't expect Li Qing to be so dedicated to this team.
So much so that during the evening duty assignment, Yue Lai took the initiative to invite Li Qing to sit with him.
After encouragement and persuasion during the day, tonight the team members participated in the patrol mission with the determination to die, and did not lose heart.
They know that they are protecting the inhabitants of the south, and there may be their relatives or friends inside, and they may die, but if their death can be exchanged for the lives of others, it is also worth it, and when they think of this, death, they are not so fearful.
"Li Qing, I originally thought that this team was going to be disbanded, but I didn't expect that the team members not only didn't want to leave, but also had more momentum than before, how did you do it?" Yue Lai asked.
"Captain Yue, you think seriously, the team members are just a little scared, and I, just encouraged them at the right time, they are all people guarding the ruins, and it is impossible for them to escape." Li Qing said modestly.
"Then you know, they are the worst of the teams, they are sent to die, even us, we can't escape death, you shouldn't let them be hopeful." Yue Lai said as he looked at the dark earth outside the car window.
"There is always hope, maybe death will come tonight, but they will still die with hope. And you, I will protect you with my life, you should believe in hope. β
After listening to Yuelai, a few short words touched the softest place in his heart. He was also a hopeless person, and he took the initiative to join this team, so he had no intention of living.
Since he was a child, he has lived under Zuo Yan's back, and he is older than him tomorrow, but he has to obey him in everything.
For so many years, everyone's eyes have been focused on Zuo Yan, who has the style of a countryman, and he wants even a moment of attention.
And dying for the people will bring him supreme honor, and he will surpass Zuo Yan at the moment of death. There is this moment, and it is enoughγγγγγγ
And the young man sitting next to him actually said that he would protect him with his own life, Yue Lai's heart was shaken, he looked at Li Qing, and his heart was sad, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Did Chief Zuo let you do this?" β
Li Qing replied calmly: "Chief Zuo? He invited me to come, and he probably didn't plan to let me live... I'm a dead man in his heart. β
He looked at Yue Lai with sharp eyes, saw Yue Lai's unbelievable eyes, and then said, "But I don't want to die, I want to live, I still want to be the captain of the shooting team, I won't die because Zuo Yan wants me to die, you are the same, you have to be hopeful, you will not be willing to succumb to the majesty of Zuo Yan all the time, guarding the future of the ruins, I need you!" β
"Li Qing, I've always misunderstood you, I didn't expect you to have the same position as me." Yue Lai looked at Li Qing and showed a rare smile.
The car continued to drive smoothly, everything was quiet outside, and everyone gradually relaxed their vigilance, and just when everyone thought that nothing would happen tonight, there was a loud hiss under the carγγγγγγ
The driver slammed the brakes and turned on all the lights with trembling hands.
Then, a second terrible hiss sounded, yes, it was from under the car, and everyone's blood seemed to clot.
Li Qing opened the car window, poked his head out and looked down, stunned by the scene in front of him.
All the calm is an illusion, they are driving on a road full of dark ghosts, those shadows that are darker than the night, countless arms are prostrate on the road, like the calm lake of the night, the waves are not alarming, but there are hidden whirlpoolsγγγγγ
Li Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he glanced at Yue Lai, and the other party was looking at him with a pale face: "Li Qing, what's the situation outside?" β
"Everything is fine, don't worry." After Li Qing finished speaking, he took out the "flashlight" he carried with him and shone it under the car.
Wherever the beam went, the shadow quickly moved away.
Others followed Li Qing's example and shot their "flashlights" into the ground, but no one dared to poke their heads out to see what was down there.
The ghosts on the road were so fast that they avoided the light, and some had to leave the road for a while, Li Qing ordered the driver to drive, and the vehicle was back on the road, like a small boat, through the rough black water.
After driving for a while, Li Qing found that the ghosts under the car and the ghosts who had taken refuge on the side of the road had all disappeared, and the gravel road reappeared.
"Stop, it's not right!" Li Qing immediately gave the order.
Where have all the dark ghosts gone? It's impossible to go, isn't itγγγγγγ
Li Qing looked at the front of the car, something is not good! In the darkness beyond the headlights, two huge wave-like shadows of dark ghosts were rapidly forming in front of the two cars.
Countless arms swung in the air, getting taller and bigger, forming a black wall.
Li Qing leaned out of the window with half of his body and used a "flashlight" to shine on the black wall in front of him, which was no longer high enough to reach the edge.
At this moment, the ghosts let out a terrifying hiss, a sharp sound as if it was about to cut through the eardrums, and at the same time, countless hiss rang out one after another, and this scream was like a call to attack.
As the hissing sounded subsided, the black wall covered with tentacles in front of the car seemed to turn into a huge wave and rushed towards the jeep.
"Jump out of the car! Fast! Li Qing opened the car door and shouted loudly, and at the same time, pulled Yue Lai and jumped off with him in his armsγγγγγγ
In an instant, the dark ghosts slammed down, and after a loud sound, the black mist engulfed their jeep, and countless dark ghosts and countless arms on the road were crossing, overlapping, and killing everything that could be killed. The screams of death resounded in the darknessγγγγγγ
Li Qing and Yue Lai rolled into the grass under the road, they didn't know how many people jumped out of the car, but even if they did, in the dark, it was more than lucky.
Li Qing comforted Yue Lai and pulled him along with him to crawl forward on the ground and escape from this dangerous place.
Ahead was a rocky hill where they could hide.
Li Qing and the others were just about to climb to the foot of the mountain, when suddenly, there was a rustling sound from behind.
It's bad, Li Qing looked back, and a dark ghost with teeth and claws quickly moved towards them, and at the same time, let out a heart-rending hissγγγγγγ
