The night was falling, and the atmosphere in the courtyard of the refugee area was tense. All the people in the cooking class had been put under control, and everyone had their bullets loaded. The atmosphere was solemn.

In the room, Zhang Fang glanced at the dinner plate in front of him and said to Ning Zhe: "It has been tested and all the food tonight was poisoned. Not only the dried meat eaten by the soldiers, but also the porridge in the pot was poisoned.

Yes, after the chef prepared the meal, he sent someone to deliver it to us first. Because the guards outside the door stole the food, the poison was released earlier, so we were alerted."

"This means that the person who poisoned us will not be our internal personnel." Ning Zhe frowned and responded: "Our team always adopts a shift system, including a few of us, we will take turns on duty at night.

, the time periods for everyone to eat are also staggered. If the other party poisons at this time, it is impossible to poison everyone at the same time, and it will definitely be noticed. If it was one of our own who poisoned, he would not use such a stupid method."

Seeing that Ning Zhe had the same idea as his, Hu Yihan asked Lin Xun, "Have you confirmed the method of poisoning the other party?"

"We have checked the food we carried and can confirm that there is no problem with the food. However, the water source we carried has been exhausted. The water we drink is collected snow water, which has been filtered and is currently being tested. There is no issue yet.

result."

After Lin Xun answered Hu Yihan's question, he continued: "These days, we are drinking this kind of water. If there is a problem with it, we will never expose the problem today, so I think this matter should be discussed with

The water source doesn’t matter either.”

"Although I say that, this situation is a bit too weird." Zhang Fang's eyes were full of confusion and confusion: "We have just settled here less than two hours ago, and the yard is always on guard, and there are people in the kitchen.

If someone were to poison you while you were cooking, you wouldn't be able to notice it at all, right?"

"What if someone deliberately poisoned the pot?" Ning Zhe interrupted very vigilantly: "If these people can poison the pot before we arrive, it will be difficult to prevent us from being aware of it. Desert

Water resources are scarce in the area, and few people are willing to waste water resources to clean pots. They usually rub it with sand to get rid of the problem. If the other party deliberately poisons, and puts some poison that is resistant to high temperatures and insoluble in water, it will easily remain in the pots used by the refugees.

In the stone pot, this way, they don’t have to show up at all.”

Hu Yihan was doubtful: "Is there such a possibility? If it is true as you said, what was the motive of the poisoner? How did he know our whereabouts? And confirm that we live in this courtyard?"

"It's not difficult to determine our location. Now this market town has been abandoned. If someone chooses to settle here, they will generally choose a spacious yard. Ordinary refugees cook by putting stone slabs on the fire. Only wealthy households

Only people have the pot, they just need to target these big families."

Zhang Fang expressed his analysis: "As for why these people can grasp our whereabouts, don't forget the name under which we came to No. 111."

"You mean... Gao Jun!" Hu Yihan immediately reacted: "This time we came to Jingclan, our whereabouts were very secretive. Our nominal identity was just a caravan, but this identity was not actually to protect us, but to protect us.

We are protecting Gao Jun, so our whereabouts are exposed, which means that someone has betrayed the news about Gao Jun! The person who comes is most likely a spy of a high-ranking official!"

After listening to the analysis of several people, Lin Xun also nodded: "If you explain it this way, everything will go smoothly. This is most likely an assassination operation targeting Gao Jun."

Ning Zhe asked Lin Xun: "So our top priority is to protect Gao Jun! Where are the others?"

"In the next room, with Ren Jiao and the others!"

"Tell everyone to gather in the courtyard, hurry up!" As Ning Zhe spoke, he had already stood up and walked out of the door. The surrounding guards also quickly gathered together under Lin Xun's order. Ning Zhe looked at everyone

, said straight to the point: "From now on, everyone will be on duty collectively and put on their gas masks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to move under the moonlight, but Gao Jun looked at Ning Zhe in confusion: "What happened here? Is someone planning to release another monster like Jin Qinhuan here?"

"We suspect that the previous poisoning was an assassination operation against you. Our current task is to protect you." While Ning Zhe was wearing a gas mask, he was also responding to Gao Jun's question: "Everyone, everyone

Wearing a gas mask is to prevent the killers from distinguishing your identity. Their purpose of assassination is greater than arrest. Everyone wears the same equipment to prevent you from being accurately sniped."

When Gao Jun heard Ning Zhe's words, a warm feeling flashed through his heart: "Actually, you don't need to let everyone take risks for me. I have the ability to protect myself. If necessary, I can stand up and be a bait."

Ning Zhe also smiled: "Don't be sentimental, I'm just worried that without you, we will lose the only channel to communicate with Jing Clan."

"You have arrived at Jingzhe. You can still contact them even without me. At this time, I am no longer so important." Gao Jun could tell that this was just a joke by Ning Zhe and put on his gas mask.

Okay, looked at him seriously: "I will keep this feeling in my heart."

Ning Zhe loaded the bullet and turned on the gun's safety at the same time: "Tonight, Jing clan will not let us enter the fortress, and our reinforcements have not arrived here. Our entire defense force is only these people in the yard.

"Whether I can survive tonight is still unknown. I'll save these words of thanks for you to wait until you can survive."

Lin Xun and everyone else put on gas masks, waved their hands gently and said: "Normally, four sentries are left in the yard, and the rest are dormant in secret. The snipers keep an eye on the sentries to ensure that they will not be attacked!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone dispersed and hid in the darkness of the courtyard.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. In the biting cold wind, everyone maintained the highest vigilance to deal with the mysterious killer who did not know when he would appear.

Forty minutes later, Ning Zhe's hands and feet were numb from the cold. He originally wanted to move his body and change positions, but suddenly heard a strange movement. Then he clenched the gun in his hand and whispered to the people around him in an inaudible voice.

Voice: "Coming!"??
