Chapter Twenty-Four: Lonely Men and Widows

The inside of the tortuous and narrow cabin is like a dark underground cavern, and for the average person, the fear of darkness alone is enough to break their spirits.

But for He Ruozhi, it is like a fish in water.

The dark power in his body spread out in circles, clearly recording the changes in his surroundings, just like the ultrasound that bats rely on, without any vision at all.

He Ruozhi's walking style is also very strange, his joints are almost immobile, and the whole person floats around like a ghost.

Suddenly—

Ahead, a search and rescue team of three crew members is also in action.

These people have flashlights in one hand and maps in the other, but they are still trembling.

They are all logistics personnel on the ship and never participate in combat, so they are also very uncomfortable with the harsh and complex environment under the cabin of the ship.

"John, you, did you hear anything?" A crew member said with a shudder.

"What, what's the sound, don't scare yourself!" John's voice trembled, too.

At this moment, a terrifying thing appeared in front of the lights of the three people.

The thing was strangely fast, jumping and jumping forward from afar, like a stiff dead man, with a hideous-looking crocodile lying above its head, spitting out its sharp tongue.

"Hell!"

"Hell!"

"Hell!"

The three crew members were so frightened that they dropped their maps, turned and ran.

The ghost came to the three of them in a blink of an eye, and in the dim light, this ghost was expressionless, like a zombie underground, just missing the two fangs at the corners of his mouth. Before the two crew members could react, they felt a pain in their necks and fainted immediately.

The third crew member was jumped on the head by a small crocodile and fainted in fright.

Looking at the crooked bodies of the three of them, He Ruozhi still looked indifferent, he thought about it, and casually removed the nozzle of a snorkel next to him, and a stream of hot steam immediately spewed out.

In this way, the three crew members will not freeze to death, and the command station will immediately send someone to repair the damage so that they will not get lost.

He Ruozhi continued to advance towards the depths of the cabin.

At the very bottom of the cabin is a deep void where no living creature can survive except for roaring machinery.

The search team didn't come to this place because they didn't think Mu Qiaoping would be able to survive here for long.

He Ruozhi's purpose here is not to find the other party, but to find a space that will not be disturbed.

He Ruozhi took off the black crystal that contained the Dark Realm from his neck.

He Ruozhi's eyes overflowed with a wisp of evil light, and he slowly threw the black crystal into the air.

Under the guidance of the dark energy, the crystal actually circled around him.

At the same time, He Ruozhi's spiritual sense continued to spread everywhere, looking for organisms that also contained negative emotions.

This is the method He Ruozhi used to find the Dark Empress.

In principle, the black crystal is like a radar, able to detect all the negative emotions hidden around it, of course, as the distance gets farther and farther away, you can only find those creatures that contain powerful negative emotions.

But within the range of a spaceship, He Ruozhi believed that he could find Mu Qiaoping.

In his estimation, Mu Qiaoping should be in a very fearful and desperate situation now, and fear and despair are relatively strong negative emotions.

Even if she is dead, He Ruozhi can also find out where the other party's body is buried!

A lot of negative emotional individuals were found in the spaceship, but the number and nature did not look like that of a little girl, and after looking for about ten minutes, I finally found it!

It turned out to be there!

He Ruozhi suddenly opened his eyes and rushed out like an arrow off the string.

……

Mu Qiaoping has gradually regretted it at this moment.

She didn't know where she was, only that there was a cold darkness in front of her, and a cold and biting wind was blowing from ahead, and she wanted to retreat, but countless forks in the road appeared behind her.

Which is the real way back to the settlement?

In the dark, Mu Qiaoping couldn't help but shed tears of regret.

She didn't know how long she had been here, tired, hungry, and drowsy. But Mu Qiaoping knew that she must not fall asleep like this, otherwise she would definitely not be able to get up once she fell asleep.

At the moment of confusion, Mu Qiaoping felt a warm force coming from behind, and then she was hugged by a pair of soft arms.

"Don't be afraid." The other person said, "We're going to go out right away." ”

"Are you...... Who are you? ”

The darkness suddenly disappeared, and a hazy yellow light appeared in front of him. In the soft light, He Ruozhi's face looked extraordinarily gentle, Mu Qiaoping leaned her head on He Ruozhi's chest in a daze, and for some reason, she found that he had saved herself, Mu Qiaoping felt very, very relieved.

In fact, the place where she was in distress was not far from the living quarters, after all, it was impossible for a little girl to run anywhere. She happened to be right next to a small repair dock, and she just couldn't find a way out in the dark.

Everyone was in a hurry to search into the distance, and for a moment they forgot about this place.

He Ruozhi's military transport ship is moored here for repairs, and after a two-month journey, many parts have rotted out of use.

But now the maintenance workers were also in a hurry to find Mu Qiaoping, and no one came to disturb the two of them for a while.

This kind of situation of a lonely man and a widow in the same room had never been encountered by He Ruozhi at all, and Mu Qiaoping was completely at a loss for what to do, so the two of them sat quietly next to the spaceship.

After a long time, He Ruozhi said, "We, we should go up, right?" ”

Mu Qiaoping nodded obediently, but as soon as she stood up, she let out an "oops", and the whole person fell softly on He Ruozhi.

"What's wrong?"

"Me, my foot seems to be sprained."

In the dark just now, because of the high mental tension, Mu Qiaoping hadn't found out yet.

Now that he has found a support, the whole person suddenly relaxed, and the severe pain immediately came.

He Ruozhi gently put Mu Qiaoping on the ground, and took off the little girl's boots with very careful movements, only to see that her left ankle was red and swollen, just like a steamed bun.

The experienced He Ruozhi knew at a glance that this was a dislocation.

"Don't worry, it's fine." He Ruozhi's movements were like willows brushing his face, gently caressing Mu Qiaoping's slender feet, slowly smoothing out the veins of each muscle. Mu Qiaoping looked at the man with a focused expression with a shy face, her heart was like a deer colliding with her, and the air that was originally full of engine oil became fresh.

There was a warm and itchy feeling from the soles of her feet, which gradually overshadowed the original pain, Mu Qiaoping felt as if her feet were placed in a steaming hot spring, and there was a "click" of cold-

"Alright." He Ruozhi said expressionlessly, but the movements in his hands did not slow down, but repeatedly massaged the other party's ankles to reduce the pain.

Tears hung in Mu Qiaoping's eye sockets, but she endured the pain without screaming.

He Ruozhi picked up the girl and said with a smile: "You'd better not walk in the past two days and rest more in bed." ”

"Hmm." Mu Qiaoping nodded innocently, He Ruozhi had an inexplicable temperament on his body, although it was not so imposing, but people couldn't help but obey what he said. Mu Qiaoping believes that the other party must be a good person and will not harm herself.

"Ash ......"

"What's wrong?"

"My grandfather said, my grandfather said, said that you are very good, right?"
