Chapter 23: Survival
Although Li Zeyan did not show any thoughts on his face about the joining of Shan Hongwei and his party, those who were familiar with him knew that he was unwilling to cooperate with the other party.
Especially Xu Zhen, he knew that in the last mission, Shan Hongwei killed Li Zeyan's friend, and the two also formed a bond because of that mission. But even so, Li Zeyan is also a person with brains. If you quit with the team at this time, or choose to leave alone, it is undoubtedly a dead end.
The fourth district returned unharmed, and Betsy was reminded by Lu Qing before leaving, so when checking with her teammates, she avoided dark and lightless places. All four districts had gathered, and the number had been reduced from 24 to 20, and in just one day, four Dream Breakers had died at the hands of ghouls.
No one in District 4 knows anything about the Cthulhu Mythos, so Li Chenyin, Liu Ke, and Dai Shikai are the three most important characters in the mission. After they popularized what had happened before and a lot of knowledge about it, Li Chenyin began to plan his next actions.
She believes that the main core at present is not to find clues to survive, but to ensure the living environment of all people.
Therefore, there are three things that are most important.
"First of all, ghouls are photophobic. In order to ensure everyone's safety at night, we need to find light sources and other materials. Whether it's candles, electrical appliances, matches, gasoline and other combustibles, we must ensure that the room is bright at night. Li Chenyin said.
"The second is food." Chen Zhi raised his hand and added: "That supermarket can't go, the ghouls have set up a nest inside, not to mention, the food inside is basically eaten by them." It seems that the only way to do this is to search the houses to see if there are any canned food that can be eaten. ”
"Finally, there is the old seal." Li Chenyin said: "This is the only prop that can ensure the safety of our lives. You should have also noticed that after entering the mission, the props in your hands are no longer functional, and the curse props are useless in front of these ancient evils, and even the functional props are all invalid. Nowadays, there is nothing that can be used against them except force and physical defense. So, don't be alone in the town and try to stay with the strongest in the team. ”
"The food you bring can last for a few days, but you have to save it." At this time, Qing Shui was quite worried, in the four regions, in terms of intelligence, their team definitely did not lose to the others, but in terms of their force value......
Shimizu is indeed a high-IQ talent and an excellent leader, but he also has something he is not good at, and that is fighting. Not only that, but three of the six Dream Breakers in District 4 are women. Meng Yu, a man who looks a little sullen, is also a wise man, and the only agile one is Xu Rui, who is good at parkour.
This person is bold and careful, and often plays the role of the "human emperor" in past missions, taking risks to attract the attention of the ghosts and buy time for his teammates to escape. In his words, it's still about chasing a thrill, and being chased by a ghost is much more thrilling than any extreme sport. In some ways, he and Dai Shikai belong to the same kind of people, who have no reverence for ghosts and gods.
Therefore, except for Xu Rui, the combat power of the fourth district is almost zero, and in this mission, in the face of the invasion of monsters, even wise men like Qing Shui and Betsy can only rely on the help of other districts.
Li Chenyin was obsessed with the locked cellar in the church, but they saw the ghoul escape into the depths of the church with their own eyes, and this ghoul disguised himself as He Hongfei mixed in the team, knowing about the cellar, it was very likely to call other companions to squat in the church together, and wait for everyone to fall into the net. Without knowing the number of monsters, they did not dare to enter the church rashly.
As for the hotel, with the lesson of last night, everyone naturally didn't want to choose a scattered venue. They searched for a lot of places in the town and finally found a small cottage that was the perfect place to stay.
Although the outside of the villa is somewhat damaged, it is a good choice compared to other buildings.
The villa is surrounded by sturdy, bulletproof glass, which is almost completely transparent on all sides, allowing sunlight to shine in, making it an ideal base for everyone. Once inside the villa, they searched the area carefully to make sure that there were no sewers or burrows dug by ghouls, and then they moved in with peace of mind.
The roof of the villa is a little leaky, and there are still some places that need to be reinforced. Lu Qing took a few other people to the roof, which was fully equipped and had a variety of repair tools. Li Zeyan and the others went to the river, they wanted to see if there were any fish and shrimp that had been swept ashore near the lake after the dragon sucked up water last night.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and in two hours, it would be completely dark. Luckily there is a fireplace in the villa, so you don't have to rely on candles like you used to. The girls knew that they were vulnerable on this mission, so while the other men were busy preparing, they went to the neighborhood to collect dry twigs and straw under the guidance of Betsy, so that the campfire could continue to burn at night.
Li Chenyin also wanted to join, but was called back by Shan Hongwei as soon as he stepped out of the door. He helped Li Chenyin to a chair and helped her sit down slowly. The chair was spotlessly polished and covered with a soft cushion.
"Rest for a while, you're tired after walking for so long." Shan Hongwei handed her a bottle of clean mineral water, and Li Chenyin took it, just taking a sip to moisten her throat. Shan Hongwei gently brushed the broken hair in her ears aside, looked at the bloodshot in Li Chenyin's eyes, and felt a little distressed: "You can sleep peacefully tonight." But I see you haven't eaten much today, are you not feeling well? ”
"It's okay, I'm not hungry." When Li Chenyin heard him ask, his eyes suddenly flickered a little.
The panic in her eyes did not escape Shan Hongwei's eyes, and he suddenly became serious: "Chenyin, what's wrong?" "Since entering the mission, he has noticed that the other party is in a very wrong state. At first, Shan Hongwei only thought that he was under the influence of evil creatures, not only Li Chenyin, but also others.
But after a day passed, he noticed that Li Chenyin pinched his eyebrows from time to time, and seemed to be extremely tired and weak, not only that, but even his appetite was seriously attenuated, and he only ate a small piece of bread after two days.
Shan Hongwei was worried that something was wrong with her body, and her face became extremely gloomy: "Is it related to this mission?" You've been in contact with ghouls for a long time, and it's affecting your body? Rest assured, I will never put you in danger in the future. ”
Li Chenyin looked at him, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his originally pale face. Shan Hongwei was a little puzzled, and was about to speak, but the other party took his hand and slowly touched his abdomen.
Shan Hongwei was taken aback, and his eyes were full of incredulity. He half-knelt in front of Li Chenyin, stroked her lower abdomen almost reverently, and slowly pressed his face to it.
"Chenyin, I will definitely protect you."
