At the entrance of Nasser's camp, Gilbert and Li Huailin were saying their goodbyes to Merlin and Bill. Although the two had talked for the whole night, they had actually spent a lot of time drinking. By the time they left, Ghorem had already fallen asleep. Li Huailin was able to say a few words, but it was just to exchange information.
"Merlin, don't do anything dangerous yet. We haven't reached that point yet." Gilbert pulled Merlin back and said, "When Balian's troops arrive tomorrow, we'll make a decision based on the situation."
"Alright, I know. I'm not that stupid. I won't do something like that before the enemy even sees me." Merlin was a little drunk. He smiled and waved his hand. "You guys be careful too. From tomorrow onwards, the scouts have to be careful. Don't let anyone follow you. It'll be bad if the camp is discovered."
"Of course, I don't need you to teach me," Vanessa said from behind.
"Hehe, look at this little girl," Merlin said with a smile. "That's it. I'll be going first."
It was getting late. Merlin and Bill left the camp on their horses.
"Ghorem, from tomorrow onwards, tell the members to hurry up and build the camp. From tomorrow onwards, there's no need to go out and rob. Everyone should focus on fortifying the camp. After that, Vanessa, tally up all the resources we have tomorrow. From now on, reduce the purchases we make. Send some members with good archery skills to hunt around the camp. They should be able to harvest some food. "Gilbert thought for a moment and began to assign tasks.
"Again, it's none of my business?" Li Huailin asked.
"Sorry, Huailin. You've only joined the Bandit group for two days, and something like this already happened. I wanted to let you get used to it slowly, but it seems like it's too late now," Gilbert said with a bitter smile.
"Oh, it's fine. Actually, I have something to do tomorrow too. I was just about to tell you." Li Huailin had just gotten rid of the buff. Now was the best time to level up. There was no way he could stop.
"That's for the best. This is a special time. Inform everyone to be careful," Gilbert said.
"Yes," they all answered.
After the meeting, Li Huailin looked at the time in the system. He was shocked. It was already 10: 30 at night.
"This is bad." Li Huailin immediately went offline. Sure enough, as soon as he logged out of the system, Li Huailin felt a strong sense of hunger. Because he was so hungry, his stomach stopped growling and started to hurt.
"Looks like I need to get a body condition monitoring device. That's going to be expensive," Li Huailin muttered to himself. Although Li Huailin's self-made gaming cabin had no problems with the game (really?) Compared to the gaming cabin made by the game company, there were still some differences. For example, the gaming cabin made by the game company came with a body condition monitoring device that would notify you when your body felt hungry. Li Huailin, on the other hand, did not have a body condition monitoring device, so he did not receive any warnings. In the game, his brain waves were controlled by the transmitter, so he could not distinguish the feeling of hunger. As a result, even if he was too hungry, he would not feel anything.
In the past, Li Huailin always ate at the right time. His biological clock was very punctual, so there were basically no accidents. However, because he was too excited about leveling up today, he did not make it in time for dinner. Later, he was called to a meeting. Without his stomach to remind him, he did not remember. As a result, he was starving the moment he went offline.
"Eat something … Damn …" When he opened the fridge, he found that there was nothing to eat. Only then did Li Huailin remember that when he took the last pack yesterday, he reminded himself to buy it tomorrow. In the end, he still forgot.
"Forget it, it's not that late anyway. It's not even 11 o 'clock. It's not like there's nothing to eat." Although Xiaoshan City, where Li Huailin lived, was not the capital, it was still a provincial city. It was one of the largest cities in the country. It was very convenient to find something after 11 o 'clock. However, the shop below Li Huailin's house was no longer available. It was already closed. A few midnight snack stalls a little further away had just opened not long ago.
"While I'm at it, I'll go to the 24-hour convenience store to buy some food. Just in case I forget again," Li Huailin thought.
It took Li Huailin more than half an hour to eat at the night stall, and then he went to the convenience store. When Li Huailin walked home, it was almost midnight. To be honest, Li Huailin's life had never been so irregular. Occasionally, he would go out for a walk in the middle of the night. Li Huailin thought that the night view was quite beautiful.
The place where Li Huailin was now walking was a relatively quiet corner near his house. This was the planned location of the third phase of his residential area. However, the construction had not started yet because the second phase of the project had not been completed. The first phase of the project had not been sold yet, and the developers were still discussing the land. There was no time to build the land. The land had been empty for a long time. Because no one cared about it, the place was overgrown with weeds and withered trees. Other than naughty kids who played adventure games, no one would come to this place. Li Huailin himself would not pass by this place. He just suddenly wanted to walk by the river at night.
"There's not even a street lamp …" Li Huailin could only rely on the moonlight to walk slowly. It was a little romantic, but it came and went quickly. After walking for a while, Li Huailin suddenly heard what seemed to be someone crying, and it was a woman's voice.
"What the f * ck?" Li Huailin was stunned. "Did I encounter a ghost in the middle of the night?"
Thinking that there were no residential areas nearby, it was unlikely that anyone would come here to cry in the middle of the night. A little curious, Li Huailin walked to the place where the crying came from to take a look.
As a result, he really saw a figure after a few steps. Because it was very dark, Li Huailin could only see a silhouette, but he could tell that it was really a woman.
"Who is it? Why would they come to such a barren place in the middle of the night to cry?" Puzzled, Li Huailin went closer to take a look.
As a result, after taking a few steps, the other party really heard Li Huailin's footsteps. She suddenly raised her head and asked in a slightly panicked voice, "Who is it?"
"The voice is very familiar." Li Huailin was suddenly stunned. Then, he looked at the appearance of the crying woman through the moonlight. His mind slightly matched, "Sister … Sister Juan?"
"Huailin?" Sure enough, the crying woman was Li Huailin's neighbor, Chen Juan. Hearing the answer, Li Huailin was even more confused. Although this place was still quite close to his residential area, there was nothing nearby. Why would Chen Juan come here alone in the middle of the night?
"Sister Juan, why did you come here in the middle of the night? I think I heard … "Li Huailin walked over to Chen Juan's side, a little puzzled, and said as he walked.
"Don't come over!" Chen Juan suddenly shouted, startling Li Huailin.
"Eh?" Li Huailin did not expect Chen Juan to have such a big reaction. After thinking about it carefully, it was really a little strange. He looked at Chen Juan carefully, but because it was too dark, he could not see anything clearly. However, he did notice that there seemed to be a car not far behind her. However, it was about thirty meters away, and the surrounding was very long and weeds, so Li Huailin could not see it clearly. However, he remembered that Chen Juan did not have a car.
Suddenly, Li Huailin realized that something was wrong. Without saying anything, he walked toward the car.
"Don't go over." Chen Juan immediately ran over and pulled Li Huailin. Her voice was a little pleading.
"Hu …" Li Huailin turned his head to look at Chen Juan and took a deep breath. It was worse than he had imagined. Chen Juan's body was covered in blood, but it wasn't the kind of blood that flowed from her own body. Instead, it was the blood that splashed on her body. Chen Juan's whole face was white, and her hands were constantly shaking. At a glance, it was obvious that she was frightened.
"Is the person already dead?" Li Huailin did not turn his head, nor did he ask in a flat tone.
Chen Juan suddenly withdrew her hand and then lowered her head. After a long time, she said softly, "Dead … dead …"
"Headache." Li Huailin held his forehead and then walked toward the car. Chen Juan did not know what to do now. When she saw Li Huailin walking in that direction, she immediately followed.
After entering the car, Li Huailin could see the situation clearly. The car door was open, and the auxiliary light next to the door also allowed Li Huailin to see the situation clearly. This was a very clean luxury car, which could be seen from the car's style. According to Li Huailin's memory, this guy cost at least 5 million credits. It was definitely not something that ordinary people could drive. Not far from the driver's seat, a man was lying there with his head facing down. There were obviously a few bruises on his head, and it was still bleeding.
"You haven't turned him over to check. How do you know that he is dead?" Li Huailin asked.
"I … I …" Chen Juan was so scared that she did not know how to answer. She could not even speak properly.
"Let me see if he is really dead first." After saying that, Li Huailin turned the man on the ground over, and then put his hand on his carotid artery.
"How … how is it?" Chen Juan asked nervously.
"It's okay. He is really dead." Li Huailin indicated that the rescue was ineffective.
Hearing that the person was really dead, the little hope that Chen Juan had just had was extinguished again, and her face was ashen.
"Huh? Why does this person look a little familiar? " Li Huailin suddenly noticed that the dead man on the ground seemed to have seen him somewhere, and it should be recently. However, he could not recall the name, so he asked Chen Juan, "Who is this guy?"
"His name is Song Wenhan …" Chen Juan replied in a low voice.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned, and then he remembered.
