Xiao Chen's heart felt like it was burning at this time, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He couldn't help but doubt his previous suggestion, perhaps, as Zhang Sicheng said, retreating all at the beginning was the safest plan. His mind was now full of all kinds of imaginary horrors, being ambushed by goblins, encountering ferocious beasts, or some other unknown threat, I don't know if it was because his mental power had become stronger, these images were all vivid, and the soles of his feet were cold.

He ran all the way, and at some point he began to have a trance in front of him, and the picture seemed to switch between reality and imagination.

For a while, it was a forest that retreated quickly during the run, and for a while, many goblins besieged Shi Hao and the others with spears, and everyone kept fighting back, but they were still forced to the edge of the cliff by countless goblins;

One moment it was the darkening sky between the gaps in the leaves, and the other time Professor Lin was stabbed to the ground by a spear, wailing, holding the spear with his blood-stained hands.

The scenes were so clear, so real, that he could smell the stench of the goblins and the bloody smell that filled the air. These sensory stimuli swirled around him like a kaleidoscope, and finally, he felt that as soon as it was dark in front of him, he fell down, and with it, a sharp pain in his head.

It was only after a while that he began to regain consciousness, his forehead burning hot. As his vision gradually cleared, he found himself sitting on the ground, Ye Zi looked at him with an anxious face, and Zhang Sicheng was using a towel dipped in mineral water to clean his wounds.

"Senior, why did you faint while running?" Ye Zi handed a roll of gauze to Zhang Sicheng, and he bandaged it on Xiao Chen's head.

Xiao Chen found that the trance just now had passed, and when the cultivation of the Dream Tower made him imagine anything, the details would be particularly clear and real, perhaps this greatly increased the burden on his mind. Coupled with the rush and anxiety, which exceeded the load of his consciousness, he comforted her: "I'm fine, I may be a little anemic." ”

Zhang Sicheng wrapped up the wound, looked at the hillside not far away, and said to Xiao Chen: "Xiao Ye is here to take care of Xiao Xiao, I'll go and see the situation first." ”

"No, we can't be separated anymore!" Ye Zi stopped him, "My previous proposal only brought such a result, I can't take such a risk again." Go with it or you don't. ”

"The final decision is made by me, and the responsibility is mine. But there's no point in talking about this now, Xiao Chen obviously can't leave, but the situation must be investigated!"

"I'll carry him!" Ye Zi said without hesitation.

Of course, Xiao Chen didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a beautiful woman carrying up the mountain, his strange symptoms came and went quickly, Zhang Sicheng helped him for a while, and he was able to walk slowly. The speed of the three of them was a little slower than before, but they finally arrived at the hillside where they had agreed to meet before dark.

The hillside was deserted, the ground was in disarray, blood stains, footprints, fragments of clothing, broken spears were everywhere. Xiao Chen looked at this scene for the first time, as if he was frozen, and he couldn't even step away from his feet. When the visitors of the civilized world first collided with the barbarism of this world, all experience, insight and thought seemed so pale and powerless. Xiao Chen suddenly felt how lucky they had been before, and they had met a human in Floro Town who could communicate. If God threw them directly into such a wilderness, would they really survive?

A trembling hand grabbed his arm, Ye Zi had lost the confident smile on her face, and it seemed that she had to hold Xiao Chen with one hand and a spear with the other hand in order to support her. Xiao Chen heard her in a very soft voice and muttered, "They must be fine, they must be fine......"

The three of them didn't move, and after a long time, Zhang Sicheng spoke in a low voice, "Let's look around and see if there are any clues." ”

Xiao Chen thought he was a bold man, but at this time, the traces of battle he saw everywhere made his heart buried in the snow of deep winter, freezing and stinging, and then numb. All the details in front of me seemed to rush into my mind, mixed with the terrifying illusion before. A door opened between fantasy and reality, connecting them to each other, and it made him fearful.

You made a wrong decision, you put them surrounded by goblins, if they weren't waiting for you here, they would have safely withdrawn to the school, right?Ye Zi is just a little girl with a whim, Zhang Siwei is against it, only you, only you can finally contribute to this result...... Kill them all. A voice in his heart whispered over and over again. This voice was pressing step by step, and it didn't seem to drive Xiao Chen crazy, and he would never give up.

Fortunately, Ye Zi's low voice interrupted the voice.

Xiao Chen followed the direction pointed by Ye Zi, and also found the movement of the bushes on the west side. Zhang Sicheng made a gesture to Xiao Chen and Ye Zi, asking them to lie in ambush on both sides against two trees, and hide behind a bush by himself, bending his bow and arrows. Xiao Chen pressed his sweaty hand against the tree, but the rough coolness of the bark couldn't really calm him down.

A dark figure emerged from the bushes, still wheezing heavily, as if he had a weapon in his hand, and his gestures smelled of panic. Xiao Chen held the dagger and saw the figure pounce out, his feet as if they had roots, but he didn't have the courage to pounce in time. But Ye Zi had already rushed out like a leopard. Instead of stabbing, she smashed the gun down. The black shadow took the thing in his hand to block, but he was still stumbled by Ye Zi, Ye Zi saw the opportunity and hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue. Xiao Chen saw clearly with his special eyesight at this time, and shouted: "Stop! Stop! It's Shi Hao!"

Unexpectedly, after Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, he ignored Xiao Chen's call, and the spear still attacked relentlessly, and the black shadow parried a few times, but after all, it failed to stop Ye Zi's violent storm, and was knocked to the ground in an instant.

"Stop fighting! I said, that's Shi Hao!" Xiao Chen shouted to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi pointed a gun at Shi Hao and shouted, "It's you who fight!" Everyone else is gone, but you don't lack arms or legs. Can this still call itself a soldier?

Xiao Chen thought that Shi Hao would refute, but he didn't expect him to sit on the ground and say that he had not spoken. Zhang Sicheng put away his bow and arrows, and also walked over and asked, "Xiao Shi, what happened, you have to tell us about the situation here." ”

Seeing Shi Hao's head buried lower, Xiao Chen walked up to Shi Hao, squatted down and said to him, "Are you ready to give up on them?"

Shi Hao raised his head suddenly, Xiao Chen saw that his eyes were swollen and red, and he hissed: "I want to save them even if I die." He saw Ye Zi's back to him, he didn't even look back, stood up, rushed behind Ye Zi, and said loudly: "But, at that time...... I did my best! I really did my best! All the way back, everything was normal, I didn't encounter the shadow of the goblins at all, but suddenly, the goblins came. As soon as the guide Awad came up, he was stabbed through the neck with a spear, and the others were stupefied. I asked them to withdraw first, and I broke off with Li Tianrui, but there were too many of them. Li Tianrui was knocked to the ground by the goblins who jumped from the tree, and the other goblins chased after me, I ran out of bullets, and I didn't have any helpers, so what else could I do except retreat into the forest?

"When the bullets run out, they will be smashed with a gun, and if the gun is broken, they will be bitten with their teeth! As a soldier, if you don't work hard at this time, what are you going to do? A dignified man of 1.8 meters does not dare to fight with a 1-meter-high goblin...... Hmph!" Ye Zi's throat didn't sound like Shi Hao, but his voice was sharp like a needle, piercing Shi Hao's heart fiercely.

"I, I fought them, and after I got rid of them, I went around and came back, and this is how I met you! But that's all I have, I'm an ordinary soldier, not a superhero. I can't hold a gun with no bullets and charge at dozens of goblins with weapons in hand! I can't!" Shi Hao's voice weakened, but his tone was mixed with anger that had nowhere to vent.

"What about the others? You saw them caught?" Zhang Sicheng asked.

Shi Hao lowered his head and said, "I, I heard their call...... I guess they didn't escape...... I think it's going in that direction. He pointed in the northwest direction.

"Bastard! This is what you said about men in front of women? Soldiers in front of civilians? It turns out that this is just a work slogan for you, forget it if you can't stop it!" Ye Zi rushed over and wanted to hit Shi Hao again, but was hugged by Xiao Chen, she struggled a few times, pushed Xiao Chen away, and wanted to chase him again. But he heard Xiao Chen behind him groan, stroking his forehead and sitting on the ground humming, then he gave up, panting and walking back and forth to help Xiao Chen up.

"Ye Zi, calm down! Let me talk to him. Xiao Chen rubbed his head and said to Shi Hao: "I am not qualified to question your bravery, because when you rushed out of the grass just now, I was actually scared and flinched. If I had escorted Professor Lin, I might have done worse than you. But I see your self-blame, and you're probably not satisfied and regretful about your performance, right? You should want to make amends, right?"

"I ......" Shi Hao looked at the ground at a loss.

Seeing that he didn't squeak, Xiao Chen sighed and said, "Here, we are fighting for our own survival. We have no backup, no support, no bottom line, and we are not even qualified to surrender. If we don't work hard, we will have nothing. But since you feel you've done your best, let's do it. I have little courage, but I can still fight for my life. ”

He didn't look at Shi Hao with a painful look on his face, but said to Zhang Sicheng: "Let's go rescue them, but we still need someone to go back and report the news, so let Shi Hao go." ”

Zhang Sicheng nodded: "If we can't come back, you ask the school leaders not to act rashly, and tell the locals the news of the appearance of the goblin, and seek more help from the locals." ”

Shi Hao looked at Xiao Chen and said miserably: "I know that you are a scheming general, and I also know that you are almost sending you to death, but I also want face, I ...... I can't go back. ”

"The scheming is for those who have flesh in their hearts. Do you have it?" Ye Zi picked up the spear and sneered.

Shi Hao did not refute her, but picked up the rifle, set up the rifle's three-edged bayonet, and held a throwing spear left by the goblin in his hand, silently walking northwest.

Zhang Sicheng walked up and grabbed his arm, took out five or six bullets from his pocket, and put them in his hand. "These are probably the bullets dropped by Li Tianrui, I hope you will use them well this time. ”
