With Fu Zheng and the others' rich combat experience, they could go through the journey safely.
Unless necessary, they never took the initiative.
The first night arrived quickly, and the group found a sturdy building to spend the night.
They didn’t pay much attention when going out. After eating some dry food and lighting a few stoves to keep warm, everyone wrapped up their clothes tightly and either leaned or lay down and took the time to rest.
The first group of people who watched the night were Wang Mengcheng and several metal-type superpower users. In his spare time, he lowered his voice and taught a few people, telling them his experience in using metal-type superpowers.
Although his voice was very small and could be ignored, Fu Zheng still couldn't sleep.
This is the first time that the two have been separated for so long since they met Jiang Ya.
It's not that he never thought about taking her with him. If the weather and environment weren't too bad, and if there wasn't a base where he could safely keep her, how could Fu Zheng be willing to let her out of his sight.
He promised that he would never leave her behind no matter what, but this time he broke his promise.
When he goes back, no matter what kind of punishment the little girl gives him, he will accept it honestly without any complaints.
After thinking about it, Fu Zheng opened his eyes, took out a pen and paper from the space, and carefully wrote on it word by word: Everything is fine, don't wait for me to come back.
After he finished writing, he put the note on the cabinet where the medicines were stacked. Although he didn't tell her in advance that he would report her safety in this way, he knew that the little girl would definitely see it.
Jiang Ya saw it early the next morning. When she was thinking about exchanging some potions for Fu Zheng, she saw the note on the top.
She was still angry and didn't want to reply, but she was afraid of affecting Fu Zheng's mood outside, so she still replied to him.
But there is only one word (plus a drawing of an angry villain): Hum! 【○・`Д´・ ○】
Even though it was so simple, Fu Zheng felt happy for a long time after seeing it.
Everything went well this time out. In addition to Fu Zheng's daily note reporting that he was safe, he also reported on his daily experience outside.
In this way, even if Jiang Ya doesn't go out together, she can still know what he is doing every day, as if the two of them have never been separated.
The accident happened six days later, on their way back.
The snow that had stopped for a few days started to fall again that day. According to this trend, it will get heavier and heavier. If we don't hurry up, the road will be difficult to walk.
Fu Zheng immediately decided to speed up his journey and go back along the road he had taken when he came.
It was still Lao Lu who led the front line, and Fu Zheng and the others were at the rear.
But after walking for two or three hours, Fu Zheng noticed something was wrong.
Even if they didn't meet a single zombie on the road, they seemed to be lost.
No, it can’t be considered lost. They were just walking in circles.
Upon discovering this, Fu Zheng immediately shouted to stop, and at the same time glanced at Xizhou with vigilant eyes.
The road is straight ahead, and no matter how hard you walk, you can't go around in a circle.
Feng Ming felt a thump in his heart when he saw the stern look on Fu Zheng's face.
If there was no life-and-death situation or something related to Xiao Qi, it would be impossible for the boss to show his expression.
He immediately asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, boss?"
Before Fu Zheng could say anything, Qin Yi, who was walking in front, stepped back and confirmed to Fu Zheng with a stern face: "Did you also find out? Is it the legendary ghost beating the wall?"
Qin Yi felt something was wrong at first, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong. It was only after Fu Zheng shouted to stop that he suddenly realized it.
The phrase "ghost hits the wall" should not have come out of his mouth, but at the moment there is no better adjective to explain the situation in front of him.
Fu Zheng frowned and nodded. Qin Yi's statement was correct. It was indeed like the legendary "Ghost Breaking the Wall" incident.
"No matter what it is, everyone is alert and aware of their surroundings."
Just as Fu Zheng finished speaking, a chuckle suddenly came from an abandoned building not far away.
In the extremely quiet abandoned town, a burst of women's laughter suddenly came out. Combined with the ghost beating the wall that Qin Yi just mentioned, the terrifying atmosphere was immediately heightened to the extreme.
Some timid teammates couldn't help shouting, "There's... there's a ghost!"
Fu Zheng said in a deep voice, "Shut up!"
Then he immediately issued an order: "Lao San Lao Wu, Qin Yi Wan Ming will be the main attacker, Lao Xi Gu Feng will lead two earth-type superpowers to occupy the high ground and snipe. The others will stand beside me and don't scatter."
When he heard the woman's laughter, Fu Zheng already had a suspicion in his mind.
Only the mysterious woman from before had the ability to create this "ghost beating the wall" scene.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished his instructions, a black figure appeared in the dark window on the first floor of the abandoned building where the laughter came from, quietly staring in the direction where they were.
Fu Zheng had excellent eyesight, and he immediately recognized the person as the girl who had made him fall into the illusion before.
Looking at her current appearance, it was even worse than the previous time I met her.
Maybe this time is the best time to deal with her.
New grudges combined with old grudges, Fu Zheng took out his sniper rifle and fired a shot in the direction where the girl was standing without even thinking about it.
Unsurprisingly, he didn't hit the opponent.
But even so, Fu Zheng didn't feel sorry for the wasted bullet.
Because the road that had previously trapped them had been restored to its original state.
He put away his gun and called Feng Ming: "Second brother, take the people and continue on their way."
After hearing this, Feng Ming asked subconsciously: "Boss, where are you?"
Fu Zheng did not answer his question, but called Chen Yu, Wang Mengcheng and an earth element user from the base, "You three, follow me."
Just when Fu Zhengxi turned around and headed in the direction where the girl disappeared, Gu Feng stopped him, "Brother-in-law, wait, I'll go with you."
Fu Zheng looked at him in confusion, and Gu Feng added, "Sister Jiang Ya is not here, so I have to protect the person she values most for her."
Fu Zheng's eyelashes trembled, but the words of rejection were not uttered in the end.
He said coldly: "It's up to you, but you are responsible for your own safety."
Gu Feng: "Don't worry, I won't hold you back."
After Fu Zheng led the people away, Feng Ming called out to Lao Lu: "Okay, let's leave quickly. Don't let anything happen again."
When Fu Zheng and the others arrived at the place where the girl was standing, there was no clue except for a pool of dark black blood on the ground.
Fu Zheng walked around the room and finally stopped at a rear window.
Although the blood stains on the window frame had been specially wiped, there was still a drop of trace the size of a grain of rice that did not escape his eyes.
Fu Zheng looked out the window and noticed something unusual in the shop five or six meters away.
Looking at the height of the three-story building, he turned over and jumped out of the window.
The voice also came: "Everyone go downstairs and meet at the shop opposite."
