Chapter 42: There's Something in the Fog
"The fog should be heavier in the second half of the night, I'll keep vigil with you, and if you're sleepy, you can go and rest." Qiao Na was expressionless, and she didn't know if it was because she was embarrassed in front of Zhao Xiaochuan before, or because she was by nature.
And the reason for Qiao Na's sudden appearance, Zhao Xiaochuan naturally understands.
Just like Zhao Xiaochuan himself didn't trust Li Shan and his party, Li Shan and the others naturally wouldn't trust him!
Although Zhao Xiaochuan had already told Li Shan before that the night vigil in the second half of the night would be handed over to him, Zhao Xiaochuan also knew in his heart that Li Shan would never remove his team from the night vigil in the second half of the night. He even arranged for Jona, the most scouting pathfinder, to serve as the night watchman in the second half of the night!
I just want to stare at Zhao Xiaochuan to see if he has any unusual movements!
This had long been expected by Zhao Xiaochuan, so he was not too surprised by this.
However, Qiao Na's next move really made Zhao Xiaochuan a little breathtaking.
I saw that Jona climbed to the top of the mountain rock on the side first, looked around from a high place, and confirmed the concentration of the fog. Then he crawled to the ground, prostrated himself on the ground, listened to whether there was any movement around him, and finally even carefully checked a few traps set before, and only after making sure that everything was correct, he sat down next to Zhao Xiaochuan.
During the whole process, Jona was very vigilant, even if there was a little wind and grass around, it was impossible to escape her eyes.
"He is worthy of being the strongest pathfinder in Vault 93, and he is professional!" Even Zhao Xiaochuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, but his eyes couldn't help but glance under Qiao Na's coat, especially the posture she was lying on the ground just now, it seemed that Zhao Xiaochuan had opened the door to a new world.
If it is said that the skills that Zhao Xiaochuan learned from his father are all wild ways and tricks, relying on years of experience. Then Jona is a real professional, and all her actions are very formal, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.
"The strongest pathfinder? But how can I hear that some people feel that you can survive alone in the wasteland, and your ability to find your way is even better than mine? Qiao Na's eyes revealed a trace of unconcealable desire to win, and she stared at Zhao Xiaochuan's eyes tightly: "I don't know what the purpose of your appearance here is?" But I warn you, even if you have any crooked thoughts, you'd better put them away for me! Otherwise..."
As she spoke, Qiao Na lifted her coat, and her figure, which was still looming before, was directly exposed to Zhao Xiaochuan's eyes.
"Damn!? What is she trying to do..."Where has Zhao Xiaochuan seen such a scene? A pair of eyes widened, and the whole person was a little at a loss.
And yet the next second!
Brush! Brush!
With a wave of her hands, Qiao Na instantly pulled out two scimitars from her waist, and the sharp blades made Zhao Xiaochuan feel a tingling sensation in his skin even if they were separated by a long distance!
"Don't blame my knife for not having long eyes!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "......"
Wilted.
......
Seeing that Zhao Xiaochuan seemed to be scared silly, Qiao Na couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, her eyes seemed to reveal a sense of satisfaction after bluffing, but then she reacted again, and quickly returned to that cold appearance, but the scimitar in her hand was inserted under her coat again.
"Where the hell is this knife?" However, what Qiao Na didn't know was that at this time, Zhao Xiaochuan suddenly had a slightly strange question in his heart, and even had an urge to lift Qiao Na's coat to see where her knife was hidden.
"Don't look at it, as long as you don't think anything crooked, my knife won't cut at you!" Qiao Na glanced at Zhao Xiaochuan and said, "When it dawns tomorrow morning, we will go our separate ways, and you go... There is a sound!! ”
"Something's coming!!"
In an instant, the two people who were still a little opposed suddenly looked in the direction of the valley together, and an extremely faint sound of rustling reached the ears of the two through the increasingly thick fog!
"You heard that!?"
"You heard that!?"
Zhao Xiaochuan and Qiao Na suddenly spoke in unison, glanced at each other, and both saw the caution in each other's eyes, and... A hint of appreciation for each other!
This kind of extremely subtle sound may not even be noticed by veteran hunters, and only pathfinders like them, who are extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment and dangers, can notice it at the first time!
"What would you do if you were to do that?" After all, Li Shan's team was all in the valley, and Zhao Xiaochuan still asked Qiao Na's opinion first.
"If this is the case, if it is urgent, I will blow the whistle and wake up the captain! But now..."Jona's face was embarrassed, looking at the fog outside, and said with some hesitation, "But now the fog is too big!" I can't tell what's out there, and if they don't spot us, and if I blow the whistle to alarm them, it might backfire! ”
"That's right!" Zhao Xiaochuan nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Qiao Nagao again!
On the wasteland, it never hurts to be cautious and think a little more! But compared to Qiao Na, Zhao Xiaochuan obviously wanted to go further: "But even if the other party doesn't find us now, their target must be us!" ”
"Why?" Qiao Na suddenly frowned with some doubts, but before Zhao Xiaochuan could answer, she suddenly showed a look of sudden realization: "Because of the fog!" ”
"That's right!" Zhao Xiaochuan nodded and glanced at Qiao Na even higher!
It's because of the fog!
This fog not only limits vision, but also has a fishy smell that humans and other beasts are very resistant to!
Therefore, according to the instinct of seeking advantage and avoiding harm, the fierce beasts outside will definitely flock to the place where the fog is thin!
In that case, it won't be long before they will be able to reach the valley where the fog is getting thinner and thinner!
Because here, the fog doesn't spread!
"But let's not alarm them in advance!" Qiao Na glanced at Zhao Xiaochuan again with some surprise, she didn't expect Zhao Xiaochuan's brain to turn faster than her: "That's it!" I'm staring here, you go wake up the captain! However, there is one thing you must pay attention to, the captain is strong, and he is not familiar with your breath, so you must not approach him when you wake him up, otherwise he will subconsciously attack you even if he is asleep! ”
"I understand!" Zhao Xiaochuan nodded, even if he was sleeping, once an outsider approached, he would make a counterattack at the first time, not to mention Li Shan!
"Then be careful!" Zhao Xiaochuan originally wanted to turn around and enter the valley directly, but a trace of worry rose slightly in his heart, and he couldn't help but turn around and admonish, and then rushed directly into the valley!
"Huh?" Feeling some unexpected concern in Zhao Xiaochuan's tone, Qiao Na was also slightly stunned, but then she threw these aside, waved her hands again, and two bright full moon scimitars appeared in her hands again, staring at the mist with a serious expression!
"I'll be careful!"
