Shen Xixi, Rabbit, and Li Bai watched as the rest of the people in the camp were killed one by one. After that, the valley returned to peace.
The moonlight shone on the cliffs, and it was as bright as ever.
Shen Xixi bit her lip, and the look on her face was terrible. Fan Meinan asked her if she had considered the consequences when she did this. Shen Xixi thought she had thought it through, but after witnessing such a tragic scene, she realized that her heart was not as firm as she had thought.
And she knew very well that this was just the beginning. There would be more victims in the future. Perhaps the whole world would be pushed to the brink of destruction. If she was given another chance, Shen Xixi didn't know if she would make the same choice again.
Just when Shen Xixi was thinking about how to prevent the worst from happening, she heard footsteps behind her.
A figure wearing a black hood walked out of the woods. He had several injuries on his body, and it was obvious that he had just gone through a fierce battle. He staggered a little, and one of his arms could no longer move. It hung limply on his side, and he stopped after taking two steps, gasping for breath.
Shen Xixi and the other two immediately became vigilant. They had just seen the miserable condition of the players in the camp, and they were worried that the newcomer was mentally unstable and extremely aggressive.
Li Bai did not speak, but he had already shown his attitude with his actions. He stood in front of Shen Xixi and Rabbit, and at the same time, he looked at the newcomer with vigilance.
"Don't be nervous. I mean no harm," said the man in the hood. As he spoke, he took off the hood on his face, revealing a gentle-looking face.
Shen Xixi breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you one of the hunting team?"
"No, I'm just like you. I'm here to cause trouble for the people who are hunting Zhang Heng." The man smiled a little tiredly. "Unfortunately, I'm not as lucky as you guys. Most of the people I brought with me are dead, and I'm badly injured. Sure enough, researchers are not meant to be violent."
The man then looked at Li Bai, "Hey, kid, do you have a cigarette?"
Li Bai took out a pack of Hudmen from his pocket and reluctantly tossed it to the man in front of him. The latter took the cigarette and was stunned. "Shouldn't you players be rich? Why do you still smoke this?"
"He sent all the money he earned back home." Rabbit rolled her eyes.
"Amazing!" The man gave him a thumbs up, then opened the pack of cigarettes, took one out, and put it in his mouth. Li Bai was quite happy to be praised. He no longer felt sorry for his pack of cigarettes. He even took the initiative to throw a lighter to the man.
Unfortunately, the latter choked and coughed after just one puff. He then explained, "Ever since I got a wife, I haven't smoked for a long time. Young man, thank you for the cigarette. As someone who has been through it, I'll give you a piece of advice. Men should get married as late as possible."
Rabbit pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. Shen Xixi frowned. "You know us?"
"No, but I know you." The man said, "Your name is Shen Xixi, right? I've heard him talk about you. Unfortunately, although I tried my best to probe, I still don't know who his favorite girl is."
Shen Xixi seemed to have thought of something, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Are you Zhang Heng's father? He told me that his father is a researcher, but he seems to be abroad. Are you also a player? As far as I know, there are no foreign players. "
"I'm not a player. I'm just an ordinary person," Zhang Heng's father said.
"With all due respect, an ordinary person would not appear here, let alone carry a gun." Rabbit pointed at Zhang Heng's waist.
"Oh, this is just for self-defense. In fact, I didn't use it during the battle just now. It seems useless now," Zhang Heng's father said as he threw the pistol into the pool beside him.
"You are not a player? Then why don't you look surprised by what happened here? "Rabbit's eyes widened.
"Players are not the only ones who know about the existence of supernatural powers. I personally experienced a supernatural event eighteen years ago, and I even had a son," Zhang Heng's father said.
"Wait, don't tell me you're saying …"
"Yes. To be honest, our first meeting was not a pleasant experience. Fortunately, we got along very well after that." Zhang Heng's father's eyes flashed with a touch of reminiscence, and the corners of his mouth gently raised.
"I'm sorry." Shen Xixi bowed her head.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. We have done what we can. The rest … we can only leave it to fate." Zhang Heng's father's mood was much calmer than the three of them thought.
"Leave it to fate? Do you think there's still a chance for things to turn around?"
Before Zhang Heng's father could speak, Li Bai suddenly made a gesture of silence. Then, Li Bai pointed to a huge ice block on the shore that was about the height of two people. There was a vague figure inside the ice block, but Li Bai wasn't referring to the unlucky guy sealed in the ice block.
He exchanged a look with Rabbit, and then the two tacitly circled around the ice block from the left and right. Li Bai also picked up a rifle on the way, but when he saw the person behind the ice block, he immediately put down the weapon in his hand.
It was a little girl who seemed to be one of the villagers who had been living in this mountain for a long time. The four of them had no idea why she was here. More importantly, compared to the players in the camp who had completely lost their minds, although her mental state was not too good after a day of torment, it was apparent that she was not as crazy as the others.
It was a miracle!
When Li Bai brought her out, she did not resist.
Shen Xixi saw the little girl's clenched left hand, and she came to the latter, squatted down, and asked softly, "Can I take a look at you?"
The little girl gradually let go of her hand, and Shen Xixi saw the crystal in her palm. She had already recognized it as the Grade-D Immunity Crystal that Fu Lou had lost. Suddenly, she felt a stabbing pain in her heart. At this moment, she finally understood why Fan Meinan and Zhang Heng's father still had not lost faith in him.
Zhang Heng did not forget to give this Immunity Crystal to the little girl in front of her when he was on the run. She knew that he did not intend to destroy this world, even if the whole world chose to be his enemy.
Zhang Heng seemed to know what Shen Xixi was thinking. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what he plans to do, but I know that he will not surrender to fate so easily. He will fight until the last moment. I have always believed in this."
