Ye Chong, Zhang Dong, Xin Xiaomeng and Tong Ya stood there quietly, looking at the high bulge of bed sheets in silence.
Each of them was carrying a large backpack, which was bulging, and it looked like it was full of things.
There was even a military nano bag placed at Zhang Dong's feet, which looked equally full of items.
"Old Ye, it's getting late," Zhang Dong looked out the window, "If it gets dawn, I'm afraid I'll be targeted by animals."
"Still... are you still looking for... Zhou Fa?" Tong Ya's eyes suddenly turned red, "He... must also want to go home."
"I have looked for him," Ye Chong's voice was low and expressionless, "He...has stayed here forever."
"No, no, he must have escaped," Xin Xiaomeng burst into tears, "Maybe... maybe he has returned home and is waiting for us to go to karaoke together, right, brother?"
"Yes," Ye Chong sighed softly, "Maybe he did not go back, but stayed in Xizhen, a land that should belong to the human race, to practice and protect this homeland for us."
"Zhou Fa is very cold," Tong Ya was about to cry, her eyes were red and swollen, "But his smile is very warm. I will always remember him. I believe he will also come to see us, right?"
"Yes," Ye Chong nodded, "Maybe he is watching us now, so... don't cry, he will laugh at you."
Tong Ya lowered her head, hid her face and sobbed, her shoulders shrugging.
Xin Xiaomeng's eyes were red, and she looked out the window and said, "Zhou Fa, I know you are here, and we will visit you often."
"Old Ye..." Zhang Dong glanced at Ye Chong and hesitated to speak.
"Okay, it's time for us to set off," Ye Chong sighed softly, "I will be in front, Tong Ya will be second, Xin Xiaomeng will follow, and Zhang Dong will be behind, let's set off!"
After speaking, Ye Chong walked forward and gently picked up Han Lina's body.
"Brother, I'll do it." Xin Xiaomeng put her hand on Han Lina.
"The two of us are taking Nana together," Tong Ya also took a step forward, "The eldest brother is in front, so it's not convenient to take her with us."
"Let's go." Ye Chong didn't let go, he hugged Han Lina and turned around.
…
On the north cliff.
Miasma and poisonous gas filled the air.
Ye Chong gently placed Han Lina on the ground.
Then he looked in the direction of the villa, and then at the place where he fought the green bird, then he chose a location and started digging a hole with the Starry Sky Blade.
The other three were stunned.
"Brother," Xin Xiaomeng choked, "Why do you need to dig a hole?"
"Let them rest in peace." Ye Chong did not raise his head and was busy silently.
"Them?" Xin Xiaomeng burst into tears, "Who are they?"
"Okay, don't disturb Lao Ye," Zhang Dong said softly, "Zhou Fa and Han Lina are tired, let them rest early."
"But I just said...Zhou Fa...Zhou Fa..." Tong Ya's throat was blocked and she could no longer speak.
"Remember, we are warriors." Ye Chong continued to be busy with the Starry Sky Blade, "Everyone will leave one day, so let the two of them guard this hot land."
Both Tong Ya and Xin Xiaomeng cried slightly.
"But, Lao Ye," Zhang Dong squatted down and used his hands to dig at the cut earth and rocks, "Needless to say Zhou Fa, but Han Lina...if I don't take her back, will her family..."
"The only problem is taking her back," Ye Chong sighed, "She was too seriously injured, so it's better not to let her family see her.
Moreover, she grabbed one of Zhou Fa's hands and couldn't separate it no matter what.
This is reluctance.
Since we are reluctant to let go, why should we let them separate again?
besides.
They left here. I believe that their souls are not far away. It is for their own good not to take away their bodies."
"But Lao Ye," Zhang Dong frowned, "There are many mutated beasts here, and the key ones are insect beasts and beasts. If we put them here, will... any accidents happen?"
"I just saw that this place is one of the breeding points for miasma and poisonous gas, and it is very dense." Ye Chong sighed softly and looked around, "I believe that no mutant beast would like to come here.
Mr. White said that although the current miasma poisonous gas cannot prevent mutant beasts from entering West Town and Dragon Breathing Land, it is still one of their most annoying smells, and it has a great negative impact on their mutation and evolution.
.
So, there is no need to worry about this matter.
In addition, we have brought so many things, and if we take Han Lina... and Zhou Fa with us, once they are attacked by a beast general-level mutant beast on the road, it is likely to cause secondary damage to their bodies.
We can't take this risk.
Moreover, I always feel that it’s a bit unreasonable for that SS2-level beast to be here alone.”
"What?" Zhang Dong's expression changed and he looked at Xizhen in the valley, "You mean, there are animals like green birds here?"
"It's possible." Ye Chong nodded, "Judging from the data released by the Imperial Biological Research Institute, mutant beasts have a strong sense of hierarchy.
Generally speaking, the higher the level, the higher the status, the greater the power, and the more servants.
This is especially true for animals.
The last time I was at the martial arts conference, a strange black bird chased me, and there were hundreds, if not thousands, of the beasts that came with it.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the green bird, which is an SS2-level beast, appears alone in Xizhen.
It’s better to be careful.”
"That's not right, Lao Ye," Zhang Dong looked puzzled, "If there really is a follower of that beast here, there's no reason why it shouldn't show up when it fights us bloody battle, right?"
"Before the facts appear, everything is impossible." Ye Chong continued to cut the cave wall with the starry sky blade, "Before I discovered Zhou Fa and Han Lina, I always thought that the green bird had left.
Because I was on the east side of the high platform and once threw burning sticks into the air.
There was a lot of movement, but no sign of any high-level beasts was found.
Now that I think about it, the SS2-level beast was probably attracted by the two of them, so it didn't notice or even bothered to pay attention to the burning rod.
Alas~"
"Old Ye, you mean..." Zhang Dong scratched his head, "There are probably other beasts at the level of beasts here, but they didn't pay attention to the battle that happened next to the villa?"
When he said this, Zhang Dong slowly shook his head and said: "No, the noise we made just now is quite big. Although Xizhen is big, it can't be hidden from the ears of high-level mutant beasts."
"Who said they were always in Xizhen?" Ye Chong frowned and looked up at the night sky, "Maybe at that time, they happened to be searching for our whereabouts outside Xizhen?"
Swish, swish, swish!
The faces of Zhang Dong, Tong Ya and Xin Xiaomeng all changed, and they couldn't help but look towards Xizhen in the dark night.
Ye Chong quickly put Han Lina into the cave, and after backfilling the earth and rocks, sprinkled a layer of third-level beast-repelling powder on the lower part of the surface.
Then, he picked a red flower from the edge of the nearby cliff and gently planted it on the resting place of Zhou Fa and Han Lina.
The small pink flowers swayed in the breeze, as if smiling sweetly, glowing with vitality.
