Unexpectedly, after Firefly left the yard with my killer bee, she didn't come back for three days, Xin'er was naturally very anxious, after all, in the past two years of getting along, Xin'er had already treated Firefly as her own sister.

In the past, even if Hotaru went out to play, she would take Xin'er with her, and occasionally go out alone, and she would come back in a day at most, but now that three days have passed, she is still nowhere to be seen, so Xin'er and I both suspect that Hotaru and Bee'er are in trouble.

It's just that the black prison of Nuoda, if Xin'er and I walk, we can't go far, and we can only walk for half an hour to go back, otherwise when the hour comes, we will not return to the yard, we will be besieged by awakened zombies, and we will definitely die.

However, from Xin'er's determined eyes, I knew that no matter how dangerous it was to go out, she still had to go looking for Hotaru, so I decided to go with her, and instead of worrying all day in the yard, it would be more reassuring to go out and look for Hotaru.

And I have another thought, which is to try to find an exit out of the black prison, we can't always live on this safe little courtyard, for the sake of the loved ones we care about, we can't be trapped here for life, we have to get out of here.

Even if it's not for myself, for my mother and Feng Juanjuan, I have to leave here alive, I want to find them, this is my responsibility, and it is also my wish all along.

As for Xin'er, it's the same, after all, Master Meng's health is getting worse and worse because he misses her too much, so Xin'er also hopes that she can get out as soon as possible, and in the past two years in the black prison, she has been thinking about her father all the time.

Of course, we can't go out blindly, we need to make preparations in advance, such as determining the direction of going out, and preparing water and food accordingly.

The area in the black prison is very large, if Xin'er and I walk on foot, it will probably take many, many years to walk through the entire black prison, even if we have time, but if Hotaru and Bee are really in trouble, we can arrive a minute earlier, and they will be safer, so in order to have some Fang, we must analyze where Hotaru and them are most likely to be, and then follow this direction to find.

Another point is that once we leave the courtyard, it is impossible for us to come back, so we can only walk hard until we find Hotaru and them.

Fortunately, we don't have to worry about the water and food we need for life, because every day at noon is daytime, although it is a desert, it is not difficult to find water and fish to satisfy our hunger, so we only prepared enough water and food for two days as a backup, so that we can travel lightly and walk faster.

Before leaving, Xin'er and I talked for another night, and I asked her to describe as much as she could about the places she had been in the Black Prison, so that I could decide which direction to set off in to find Hotaru and them.

According to Xin'er's recollections, the courtyard where we were was surrounded by endless desert on all sides, but there were still differences, the farther east, west and south sides were, the wetter the sand became, and the higher the temperature, eventually turning into a sea of blood.

The north side is the opposite, the farther away the sand particles become, the temperature gets lower and lower, and finally it becomes a land of ice and snow, at the end of this cold world is an endless iceberg, and Xin'er also found that those pyramids that can be seen everywhere are rarer the closer to the north, that is, even those zombies cannot survive in the north.

So now we are faced with two choices, either go in the direction of the sea of blood or go in the direction of the iceberg.

If you go in the direction of the sea of blood, the disadvantage is that the range is too wide, it takes a long time to search for Hotaru and them, and there will be more and more zombies, and the probability of being bitten to death by zombies is also very high. But the advantage is that the temperature is suitable, the water is abundant during the day at noon, and you can catch fish and wild animals to eat, but you don't have to worry about starvation.

If you go in the direction of the iceberg, the advantage is that the range is reduced, which shortens the time to find Hotaru, and there are fewer and fewer zombies, so you don't have to go to great lengths to avoid zombies along the way, which can greatly speed up the search.

But the disadvantage is that the climate is very cold, even in the middle of the day, because of the extreme cold, the lake freezes, it is difficult to fish, and wild animals are rare, which increases the possibility of freezing to death and starvation.

From this point of view, going north is a little more dangerous, but life and death are not the only basis for us to make decisions, the most important thing is to accurately determine which direction Hotaru and the others are in.

Just as I was thinking hard about which direction, Xin'er suddenly remembered one thing, that is, once Firefly had inadvertently said that she and Bee were originally very small fireflies and killer bees respectively, but since they came to the iceberg by accident and ate a fiery red fruit there, they became the size of a baby, and they could talk and transform into children.

It's just that that kind of fiery red fruit is also extremely rare in the iceberg, very difficult to meet, and even if it is encountered, it is difficult to get, because near this fruit there is also an extremely fierce blood-red poisonous spider, once it is close, it is easy to be trapped by the silk spit out by the poisonous spider, and die with a whimper.

Firefly and Bee didn't know that the poisonous spiders nearby were guarding them, so when they finished eating the fruit and lay down on the ice to sleep, they didn't know that they had been trapped with red silk by the venomous spiders that crept in.

When they woke up to find that they had been surrounded by red silk, they also struggled desperately, but their bodies were too small to break free, and when they stared desperately at the poisonous spider with their bloody mouths open, a miracle appeared.

I saw that their bodies suddenly became hotter and hotter, more and more red, red like a flame, and then began to swell, until they became the size of a baby, and they struggled again with all their strength, and finally broke free of all the red silk and flew into the air again.

This sudden change also made the poisonous spider stunned, so it gave them a chance to escape, and when the poisonous spider reacted and frantically spun silk to trap them again, they had already flown away.

Since then, they have never dared to go to the iceberg to play, so in the past two years, Firefly with Xin'er to many places, but the iceberg still doesn't dare to get too close.

Hearing Xin'er say this, I can conclude that Hotaru must have taken the bee to the iceberg to find that kind of fruit, because the bee's body size has returned to its original little killer bee appearance, and if you want to become the size of a baby again and be able to chat with Firefly like a child, you must venture to eat that fruit again.

Now that the direction has been determined, Xin'er and I slipped out of the courtyard without further ado, and quietly set off towards the north.

Considering that the zombies would leave the pyramid to bite us as soon as they smelled us, we picked a lot of bamboo leaves, mashed them and made them into a viscous liquid, and then smeared them on our clothes to cover up the smell of the living on our bodies.

I didn't expect this method to work, because there were no zombies along the way, and even if a few zombies passed by in the neighborhood occasionally, they just sniffed curiously in the direction of the two of us for a while, and then left again.

Obviously, this method still worked, so the two of us walked for five or six hours, and we couldn't walk anymore, so we found an area with fewer pyramids, sat back to back on the sandy slope, and prepared to squint a little before continuing to walk.

After all, it's night, and there are zombies all around, and the sand under my feet is also poisonous, so I can't sleep in peace, so my plan is to wait until noon, and the sky is bright, and there are no zombies, so I can eat something and sleep beautifully.

Who knew that we would both fall asleep in a daze while sitting, and if it hadn't rained suddenly, we wouldn't have known how long we would have been asleep.

Because Xin'er has not encountered heavy rain in the two years since she came to the black prison, every time it is drizzling and it stops in a few minutes, and it would be good to have a drizzle in almost half a year, so we didn't expect to encounter such a heavy rainstorm, and we didn't prepare anything to prevent rain.

I didn't expect the rain to be so violent, like a basin of water splashed on the two of us, but the surrounding was empty, and we had nowhere to hide from the rain, and soon washed away the smell of bamboo leaves on our bodies.

Sure enough, not far after the two of us walked out, there were strange screams of zombies and footsteps nearby, obviously coming at the two of us.

I grabbed Xin'er's hand and rushed in the direction of the least number of zombies, in order to run faster, we had to throw the food and water on our backs, and a large part of the zombies were attracted by the food, stopped, and bit at the food.

But there are still a small number of zombies continue to chase after the two of us, and at the critical moment, I suddenly remembered that it was almost noon, as long as we held on for a while, it was noon that was daytime, and these zombies would automatically return to the pyramid to sleep, and we would be saved.

In a hurry, I suddenly had an inspiration, and I decisively pulled Xin'er to an empty pyramid, obviously the zombies inside had left.

I told Xin'er to slip through the zombie-torn hole and hide in the middle of the pyramid without making a sound, and then I stood in the only gap in the pyramid and tried to summon the golden dagger from the tip of my left index finger.

This is the first time I took the initiative to call out this dagger hidden in my fingertips, when I was in the passage behind the rockery of Master Meng's house, it was the appearance of this dagger that made me accidentally open the stone door to enter the black prison, although I remember that the dagger was inserted into the groove on the stone door, melted, and then opened.

But I believed that the dagger should still be at my fingertips, so at this critical juncture, I had to take a gamble, and tried to focus all my attention on the tip of my left index finger while silently muttering in my heart that the golden dagger would appear soon.

I didn't expect it to succeed, when a golden dagger suddenly appeared out of thin air in the palm of my left hand, I was very surprised, with the dagger I have the ability to resist.

So I stood at the entrance of the pyramid and stabbed the dagger at the eyebrows of the zombies who were coming at me, and the dagger was so sharp that it could easily pierce the zombies' heads.

As I kept wielding the dagger, the zombies' eyebrows* and blood flowed out, and they fell to the ground, and soon a pile of corpses was piled up in front of me, and I simply blocked these corpses completely at the entrance of the pyramid, as a human wall to block the zombies that kept rushing up behind me.

When my arm was so sore that I didn't have the strength to do it, and the entrance to the pyramid was completely blocked by zombies, I breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground, gasping for air.

Seeing this, Xin'er hurriedly came over and helped me to the middle of the pyramid and sat down, I turned my head to look around, and the transparent membrane of the pyramid had been surrounded by thousands of zombies, but fortunately there was a membrane blocking it, otherwise we would have been surrounded and bitten to death by these zombies.

The tenacity of the pyramid's membrane is excellent, and although the zombies are desperately ramming and can't tear it for a while, we both know that it is only a matter of time before it is torn, after all, these zombies are trapped in the pyramid all year round, and after waking up, they will instinctively tear the membrane and go out to forage.

So in order to bite us both to death, they will relentlessly ram and tear the membrane, it takes a long time for a zombie to tear through the membrane, but a group of zombies is very fast.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the pyramid we were in to finally start shaking, and the sound of the membrane being torn was constantly heard, and those zombies finally broke through the membrane, drilled into the pyramid, and continued to pounce on the two of us.

Xin'er, who was beside me, finally couldn't help but shout in fright again, and I felt a little sorry in my heart, I was a gamble, and the bet was to use the pyramid to last until noon during the day, but I didn't expect to be able to hold out until noon.

I calculated the time in my heart, and it was just another half hour to live, but I knew that it should not be far from noon, maybe a few minutes away, no, I couldn't just give up, even if there was still a glimmer of life, I had to fight again.

Thinking of this, I brandished the dagger again and stabbed at the zombies close to the two of us, while piercing, while protecting Xin'er behind me from harm, even if I die, Xin'er can survive, and I will die without regrets.

But there were so many zombies that they poured up, and I knew I couldn't resist it, and at the moment when I was knocked down by the zombie crowd, I quickly turned around and hugged Xin'er behind me in my arms and fell to the sand together.

Then I tried my best to protect Xin'er's body under my body, even if those zombies bite, they can only bite my body first, so that Xin'er can buy a little time.

As a series of sharp pains came from my back, I knew that those zombies were tearing at my body, I felt my consciousness becoming more and more blurred, and I just instinctively said to Xin'er under me: "Xin'er, don't be afraid, with me, the zombies can't bite you yet, hold on for a while, it should be noon, you can survive, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to find Hotaru, I'm sorry, maybe I have to go first, I'm so sleepy......"

"Nope! Brother Feiyang, it's noon, wake up, don't leave me alone, wake up! Before I could finish speaking, Xin'er cried and shouted in my arms.

Listening to Xin'er crying and speaking, I opened my eyes in a daze, and my eyes were really bright, I knew that it was finally noon, and we were finally safe, but I was so tired that I soon lost consciousness completely......
