I thought Heizi would take the opportunity to fight back, but unexpectedly, this kid actually put down his sword obediently.
"Hey... you shot yourself in the foot..." Heizi sighed, feeling disappointed.
"Is this the end? Have you forgotten the bet?" Zhou Jiaonan crossed his arms and smiled proudly.
"Senior sister..." Heizi gritted his teeth and shouted before turning around and entering the room.
Gu Rou stood up and looked at everyone, then chased after them with a look of grievance and worry.
"How many things are you hiding from me?" I looked at Zhou Jiaonan walking towards me with a smile.
"When I was young, my dad was always worried about my safety, so there were some bodyguards at home. I was also taught by several teachers. I can't say I'm proficient in all of the eighteen martial arts, but I'm not bad at all." Zhou Jiaonan said modestly, but I was shocked when I heard this. He had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and Heizi and I could only be regarded as monks halfway.
"Actually, he held back, otherwise I wouldn't be able to beat him..." Zhou Jiaonan put away his smile and looked into the room.
"Heizi wants to save face. From now on, you should still treat him as junior sister in front of others, and let him call him senior sister in private." I seemed to have become the mediator in the team without knowing it.
"Okay, I understand, but I haven't experienced your strength yet..." Zhou Jiaonan looked back at me.
"Go to bed, go to sleep, I still have business to do tomorrow..." I quickly got up, stretched and walked upstairs.
"Damn Xiaotian..." Zhou Jiaonan's angry curse came, and I quickly quickened my pace.
Heizi and I went out at dawn, and Zhou Jiaonan and Gu Rou were already busy in the kitchen.
Dahei probably went to Feng Shiyi's place, but he didn't see him when he went downstairs.
We went directly to Qiu Sheng's office, and Qiu Sheng had already made tea for us.
"Please sit down." Although Qiu Sheng stood up with a smile, I could see the bloodshot eyes in his eyes.
"This trip is dangerous, so I specifically contacted your Uncle Wang and helped you apply for some things." Qiu Sheng got straight to the point and handed us two brochures.
"Ha, I didn't expect to get this thing now..." Heizi took the booklet with excitement on his face.
"Hunting license? Gun license? What do you mean?" I didn't understand this, but these two pamphlets looked unusual.
"To be able to hold these two certificates in this era is almost the same as a hero holding a token in his hand in ancient times." Heizi explained with a smile.
"You are not on staff, but we said we would do our best to support you. These two certificates have ruined a lot of effort for me and your uncle Wang." Qiu Sheng looked at me with a smile.
"Uncle Qiu, stop inking. Where's the gun?" Heizi turned around and looked around.
"I shouldn't have given you this kind of gun..." Qiu Sheng said and took out a pistol from under the table. Before he could finish his words, Heizi raised his hand and snatched it away.
"You kid, you're here, but in another place, your actions would be enough to eat peanuts." Qiu Sheng smiled helplessly.
"Uncle Qiu, you are so kind to us. This is the latest pistol..." Heizi held it in his hand and couldn't put it down.
"Yours." Qiu Sheng ignored him, smiled and took out another pistol and handed it to me.
"Don't you have a rifle?" Heizi suddenly raised his head and asked shamelessly.
"I don't have them here. These two are from the team. I'll use them first after I coordinate with you, Uncle Wang." Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes at Heizi angrily.
"Where's Zhou Jiaonan's?" I put away my gun and ID.
"Take it." Qiu Sheng handed me a black suitcase directly.
"Put away this satellite phone. If it's really dangerous..." Qiu Sheng suddenly felt sad.
"No, what time did we do anything that wasn't dangerous?" I borrowed Heizi's words and interrupted Qiu Sheng.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Qiu Sheng stood up and actually bowed to us.
"Uncle, what are you doing? We can't bear this. Let's go." I quickly stood up and supported Qiu Sheng.
Without waiting for his reply, I pulled Heizi and left his office quickly.
Back in the store, breakfast was already on the table, and Dahei came back with sesame seed cakes in his mouth.
I handed the black suitcase directly to Zhou Jiaonan. After looking at the contents, she was not as excited as I imagined, but just asked us to eat quickly.
"Be sure to pay attention to safety." Zhou Jiaonan stood in front of me, and his words always made me feel that the atmosphere was strange.
"Don't worry, take good care of Dahei." After saying that, Heizi and I got into Qiu Sheng's car.
"I can only send you here. I will pick you up after the matter is finished." There was a dense forest in front of him, Qiu Sheng stopped the car and looked at us.
"Okay, okay, go back quickly and help us take care of the store." I smiled and took my backpack from the car.
"Don't worry." Qiu Sheng wanted to say something else, but we didn't give him a chance and ran into the woods with his bag on his back.
Naturally, it was left to Heizi to lead the way. Reading maps was his forte.
This forest is different from the places we have been to before, and it is even more primitive than the forest where we were chasing the old zombie.
"Hurry up, the road ahead is complicated, we have to find a suitable place to spend the night before dark." Heizi is still very reassuring when he is professional.
"Yes, leader." I smiled and saluted.
The two of us climbed over mountains and ridges, checked the map several times along the way, crossed another hill, and finally found a relatively safe place to camp.
It's called camping, but it's actually just lighting a campfire and sleeping on the ground, with just a thin mat spread out.
With Wei Yucheng and Gu Rou on guard at night, Heizi and I didn't worry about any wild animals snatching us away. Apart from the fact that the open-air bed was not very comfortable, everything else was fine.
The route Qiu Sheng planned for us should be a safer one, because we saw no traces of human activities along the way.
We plan to reach the more than 200 kilometers in four days. After all, this mountain is not flat, and walking more than 50 kilometers in one day is already the limit.
"Where will we spend the night today?" I waded through a creek and looked at the woods in front of me, looking at Heizi with a headache.
"According to the map, the terrain is relatively flat after passing the forest in front. We will rest near here today and catch up on the journey back tomorrow." Heizi looked at the map while observing the surrounding environment.
"Wei Yucheng." I smiled and dropped my bag.
"The general is here." Wei Yucheng appeared immediately.
"Catch a few fish to eat." I said and raised my eyebrows at Lieutenant Yu Cheng.
"General, take your orders..." Wei Yucheng was stunned at first, but he still got into the water obediently.
"Ms. sir, I'm going too." Gu Rou said and got out of the paper umbrella on Heizi's back.
"Hey... a great general, a generation of ghost kings, and now he is reduced to catching fish..." Heizi smiled and sat on the big rock by the river.
"If you say that, I won't arrest you..." Wei Yucheng straightened up a little aggrievedly.
He didn't dare to disobey my orders, but he wasn't that good-tempered towards Heizi.
"Brother Wei, I'm a bitch, I was wrong..." Heizi smiled and raised his hand to hit himself twice.
"Didn't I hear that there are two tribes in this land? Why didn't I see anyone along the way?" I squatted on the ground and started laying stones, preparing to grill fish later.
"I don't want to come into contact with the world in the first place, so of course I live in a relatively secluded place." Heizi said and got up and started to collect firewood.
The tacit understanding between the two of us no longer needs to be expressed in words.
"I'm just curious. I've never seen such a tribe that doesn't care about the world." I said, picking up the firewood thrown by Heizi.
"Why are the things you're curious about so weird?" Heizi turned to look at me.
"Tch, excuse me." I took out the flint and started to light the fire.
It's true that letting Wei Yucheng and Gu Rou catch fish is overkill, but killing chickens with a bull's-eye is really efficient.
Looking at the fat fish in front of us, the dry food we brought was completely useless.
It gets dark very quickly in the mountains, and the sun disappeared before the fish was cooked.
"I'll go pick up some more firewood." Heizi said and stood up.
But as soon as Heizi got up and walked out far, Wei Yucheng suddenly drew his sword and stood in front of me.
"There is corpse energy." Wei Yucheng stared at the woods not far away with a solemn expression.
"Don't make trouble at night." I looked up and saw that there was no movement at all, and that direction was exactly where we were going.
"Really." Gu Rou said and flew to Heizi's side.
My hair stood up instantly. Lieutenant Yu Cheng usually wouldn't joke with me.
Just as I drew my sword and stood up, there was movement in the woods.
Heizi didn't care about collecting firewood anymore and ran back. He bent down and picked up the bronze sword leaning on the stone.
"How many are there? Zombies or walking corpses?" I frowned and took a few steps forward.
"I don't know, but the corpse energy is so strong, it's probably not simple." Wei Yucheng said this, which made me even more nervous.
