In the middle of the night, Lin Yu and Xu Yan woke up, leaving Bai Jin and Sun Ya to rest.
The two of them continued to guard the ruins and listened carefully to the movements around them.
It wasn't until the dawn sun pierced the clouds and penetrated through the steel ruins that Lin Yu stood up to soothe his body, rekindled the bonfire, and prepared to heat food.
Bai Jin and others also woke up one after another, and there were various foods in the storage cards.
After heating, eating, washing up, and going to the ruins to solve physical problems, a new day's journey begins.
After driving in the wilderness for three days, they entered Heshi, the first city on the road.
It was named after a large river on the edge of the city.
After communicating with people from the association here, the association provided Lin Yu and others with a free place to live.
After staying briefly for one night, they continued on their journey early the next morning.
Driving every morning and running in the afternoon, they cooperate with each other to fight and improve their respective strength and coordination.
In the evening of this day, Lin Yu and Sun Ya were responsible for keeping watch for the first half of the night.
They were stationed in a dilapidated building in the ruins of steel. The upper stairs were damaged by some kind of large-scale disaster beast and were in disgrace. Only the first and second floors of the lower half were relatively intact.
Lin Yu and the others found a room on the first floor to stay temporarily. Personally, it felt safer than staying in the wilderness.
As late at night approached, Sun Ya and Lin Yu were sitting on both sides of the sofa in the living room.
Suddenly, Sun Ya alertly gestured to Lin Yu, which meant that someone was approaching.
When entering the building, Sun Ya left her phantom guards in the shadows of various broken walls outside the building, serving as the first line of defense from the outside world.
Just now, the phantom guard issued an early warning.
Lin Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Sun Ya then used her ability to move to the phantom guard in an instant. She was able to observe the approaching enemies through the phantom guard.
On the ruined asphalt road, a team of more than ten people were walking forward talking and laughing.
They didn't notice any signs of someone entering the building next to them.
"Maybe it's the bandit group that Captain Bai Jin mentioned a few days ago, or a passing card master."
Sun Ya said to Lin Yu through the main body: "But they were not vigilant and did not find that anyone was already staying here. They were probably passing by and wanted to rest deep in the ruins."
Their identities cannot be distinguished from their appearance.
Since there are no stray beasts, many people choose to drive off-road vehicles and form their own teams to travel to other cities. The three major fleets have lost a lot of customers.
This is also one of the reasons why bandit groups are able to take advantage of the trend.
"Do you want to tell the captain?" Lin Yu responded silently, preparing to wake up Bai Jin.
"No, they have no intention of coming to our place. They are just passing by. We will tell the captain when he gets up in the middle of the night."
Sun Ya observed carefully again until the group of people disappeared, then she responded to Lin Yu.
It's late at night, and you're not sure of the other party's identity. If the other party doesn't notice you, hiding is the safest way.
Lin Yu nodded, but he became more vigilant in his heart. In a team, scouts are indispensable for investigation. Who knows whether the other party really didn't find it, or they found it and deliberately pretended not to know.
Sun Ya also released three more phantom guards, hiding in the trapezoidal ruins of the dilapidated building not far away.
Almost an hour passed before both of their nerves were relieved at the same time.
There has been no attack for so long, which proves that the opponent really did not find him and others.
It was not until late at night that Bai Jin and Liu Feng woke up, and Lin Yu and Sun Ya told Bai Jin what had happened in detail.
After hearing this, Bai Jin pondered for a long time and said, "It's okay. You guys go and have a rest. Liu Feng and I will just keep an eye on you for the rest of the night."
"If I sleep, the phantom guard will be useless."
Sun Ya added, fearing that Bai Jin and Liu Feng would not be able to monitor the surrounding environment in all aspects.
"You forgot, I also have elemental guards." Liu Feng used the card casually, and several small ice balls the size of thumbs appeared, and rolled out along the crack of the door.
This is one of the effects of the skill card he chose when he was promoted to six stars.
Sun Ya patted her head and almost forgot. She was still not familiar with her teammates' new skills.
Lin Yu and Sun Ya fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, Lin Yu got up, washed up as usual, looked at Bai Jin and asked, "Captain, where are those guys?"
"I don't know. I didn't go from here. Maybe I'm still carrying it inside, or maybe I passed through the ruins from the other end."
Bai Jin shook his head, released the off-road vehicle from the storage card, and everyone boarded the vehicle and set off.
Lin Yu was sitting in the back row, and the Insect Queen was also in the back row. Anyway, the off-road vehicle had a lot of space, so an extra Insect Queen could fit in it, and the bugs she summoned could also detect nearby enemies.
Bai Jin and others didn't have any objections either.
Xu Yan drove the vehicle straight through the ruins. The moment he left the ruins, the Insect Queen chirped urgently.
At the same time, Bai Jin, Lin Yu, Sun Ya and others felt that the nearby haystacks were full of murderous intent, and a black barrier lit up in the sky, and the same was true all around.
A black cube surrounded their off-road vehicle.
"There is an ambush, get out of the car and prepare for battle!"
Bai Jin gave the order quickly, and Xu Yan braked.
Five people and one insect quickly opened the door and got out of the car, releasing their respective cards. They did not use all the cards for fear of scaring away those who ambush them.
It's hard to find something that can be adjusted on the road. How can I not have fun with it?
The reason for ambushing them is very simple. The card master cannot judge the opponent's strength and star rating at all, and cannot observe the energy content unless they use cards.
Obviously, these people are not using cards to observe them.
They ambush them recklessly. Of course, in the eyes of these people, their ambush should be perfect.
"It's just used for actual team coordination."
Bai Jin laughed and said with bright eyes: "This cage has substance. If Xiong Yan is here, he can break through the defense."
"It doesn't matter, I can break it open too."
Liu Feng was gearing up, eager to give it a try. After using the card in his hand, a ball of hot fire lighted up, and a long dragon formed by flames crashed straight into the cage.
The barrier clicked and suddenly shattered.
Lin Yu took a cursory look at this fire dragon and knew that it was a five-star card. By comparison, this barrier was only about four or five stars.
But he didn't expect that Liu Feng would directly use the five-star card.
It seems that they want to defeat these bandits with absolute crushing.
"Hey, use the five-star card when you come up. Be careful that they escape. The one who uses the five-star card should be their captain."
"Don't worry, boss, I've already prepared."
Several people pulled up long traffic-blocking tapes in all four directions to prevent vehicles from rushing out of their surroundings.
Bai Jin smiled. Their off-road vehicle could not be stopped by the homemade traffic jam strips covered with spikes, and the special tires would not be punctured at all.
Lin Yu looked at the source of the sound and said doubtfully: "Hey, it's not the dozen or so people yesterday."
