Zhang Long didn't know where they went, after all, it was such a big volcano.
Besides, he didn't install a positioning device on Zhang Xiaotong, so how could he know their location.
The only thing that is certain is that they have been here before and left again for unknown reasons.
Maybe I encountered danger, or maybe I discovered something.
In short, we still have to wait to see them for the specific reasons.
But looking at the footprints in the house, it seemed that they didn't leave in a hurry, so there shouldn't be any danger.
"Do you think Zhang Xiaotong will come back to us?"
"Most likely."
For safety reasons, they stayed in the dark without lighting a fire.
Anyway, after being trapped in that cave by a herd of wild boars for so many days, they were somewhat accustomed to the darkness.
Despite the darkness and knowing that they could not see his face, Ouyang Tai still turned in their direction.
"Since Zhang Xiaotong left us this location, they will definitely come back every now and then."
"Maybe they discovered some secret and are now looking for it."
"They left the note to make sure no one came to see them."
"Of course this needs to be confirmed, but I don't know how long it will take to come back,"
Several people still agreed with Ouyang Tai's words.
They decided that if it was safe here, they would wait here for a few days.
At the same time, they also tried their best to find the footprints they left behind in the past few days.
If they don't come back for a long time, they will have to make other plans.
In the darkness, Zhang Long and Ouyang Tai continued to discuss countermeasures and there were some things that needed to be prevented.
On the other hand, Wang Shengli had fallen asleep long ago. Anyway, he knew in his heart that he couldn't be of much help, so he might as well go to bed early and keep vigil for the rest of the night.
Several people discussed for a long time and came up with some solutions to some possible situations.
When Wang Shengli woke up, they were still discussing happily.
"You guys should go to bed quickly. If you don't have enough sleep in a place like this, how can you do it?"
Their conversation was interrupted by Wang Shengli's sudden voice.
However, when he said this, several people also felt exhausted.
I’ve been traveling all day and have been talking for so long.
It didn't take long for them to fall into a deep sleep.
Wang Shengli opened his eyes in the darkness, listening to the "swish, swish" sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside, and his nerves were extremely tense.
He was afraid that a fire would suddenly appear in the darkness, and the cannibals would suddenly appear in front of them and eat them alive.
The more I thought about Wang Shengli, the more frightened I became and I couldn't help but tremble all over.
He stared tightly into the darkness, and suddenly his whole body tensed up, like an arrow that was always ready to go.
Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Wang Shengli wondered if he had seen it wrong.
But after confirming again and again, he almost fell down.
Because his position was right facing the window, he could just see the dots of torches outside.
Thinking of the house they lived in, Wang Shengli was so trembling that he couldn't say a word and wanted to run away.
"Zhang Long, Zhang Long, wake up quickly!"
He was afraid of alarming the cannibals, so his voice was as low as a mosquito's hum.
However, in this case, it is better to be cautious.
He called Zhang Long for a long time but there was no sign of waking up. He could only call Ouyang Tai and the others.
It was also because his voice was so low that he couldn't wake them up at all.
Having no choice, Zhang Long took out the gauze from his arms, balled it up into a ball and threw it at Zhang Long.
As expected, Zhang Long woke up instantly.
The whole person held the grinding knife tightly and looked around cautiously.
After a while, he asked softly: "Shengli, what's wrong?"
Wang Shengli pinched his arm hard and forced himself to calm down.
In the darkness, he pointed to the window, and it took him a while to realize that Zhang Long couldn't see it.
Licking his dry lips, Wang Shengli said tremblingly: "Outside the window."
"What?"
Because Wang Shengli said something unreasonable, Zhang Long didn't hear it clearly.
To stabilize his mind, Wang Shengli kept telling himself in his heart to be strong and not to be afraid.
It took a while before his voice stopped shaking as before: "I just saw fire outside from the window!"
"What!"
Zhang Long's voice was full of surprise, and he quickly turned to look out the window, and sure enough he saw dots of torches scattered on a mountain range not far from them.
Looking at the firelight, Zhang Long clenched his fist tightly and carefully sharpened his knife to wake up Liu Yi and the others.
"What happened?"
The voices of several people were full of caution, and they would not be woken up for no reason at night.
After seeing the torches outside the window, several people's hearts instantly sank.
"A cannibal?"
"Ninety percent it's them."
Of course, it is self-evident who Zhang Long deserves for the remaining 10%.
However, this possibility is too small to be mentioned.
"How to do it?"
"It's so dark, we can't go too far."
They are not familiar with the terrain here, and they will be in trouble if they accidentally fall down the mountain.
"Go up to the roof and hide for a while. Let's wait until they leave before we leave."
"good."
Several people packed up their things quickly and cautiously left the house.
Fortunately, the house here has windows, so they felt a lot more relaxed when they climbed onto the roof.
When they reached the roof, several people covered themselves with animal skins similar in color to the roof.
They disguised themselves as well as possible for fear of being discovered by the cannibal.
I really want to leave here, but the surrounding environment doesn't allow it at all.
Something happened in this dark place, and I really regret it.
Soon, several people hid their figures, and the movement track of those people could be seen from here.
Several people just lay on the roof, no longer able to sleep.
I was afraid that if I accidentally fell asleep and were discovered by those cannibals, I would really be doomed.
Time is passing slowly, and those torches are getting closer and closer.
The hearts of several people couldn't help but lift up, and they clung to the roof, not daring to exchange another word.
The sun rose in the east and the sky gradually became brighter. Zhang Long and the others could no longer determine their position with the help of those torches.
Under the cover of the animal skins, they only felt hot all over, but they did not dare to make any drastic movements and could only cool down bit by bit.
"Is there water?"
Looking at the note Wang Shengli pushed over, Zhang Long nodded, but the movement was too big.
"Wait a moment."
After a while, a small bulge appeared on Zhang Long's animal skin, and soon he gave the water to Wang Shengli.
