Raid the Camp

"Don't worry, my students and I will help if we encounter any danger," Li Shutong promised Qin Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tong silently observed Qing Chen. He saw that the young man was tall and thin, with a resolute expression but fair and refined skin, and did not seem like the kind of person who had killed someone.

This kind of teenager should probably stay in a place like City No. 18.

Qing Chen glanced at Li Shutong in surprise, thinking that his teacher wouldn't meddle in such matters.

Seeing the doubt on his face, Li Shutong said in a low voice, "I didn't take action before because I was afraid of scaring others. Now that they don't know who I am, it's fine for me to take action. What does Mr. Mu's action have to do with me, Li Shutong?"

It wasn't until this moment that Qing Chen felt he was slowly coming to understand what kind of person his teacher really was.

And now I finally understand why Lin Xiaoxiao said that everyone has almost forgotten how willful this boss used to be.

At this moment, Qin Cheng was all smiles. Not only had the distance between the two sides narrowed, but if there was a C-Class expert accompanying the hunting team, it would be much safer.

Qing Chen went to help set up the tent, Qin Yiyi glanced at him and said, "You don't need to worry about it. Men in the wilderness don't do housework except for hunting and killing."

Qing Chen leaned against a tree and calmly asked, "Are you trying to capture Azure Falcon this time?"

"We can't catch that thing," Qin Yiyi said. "We want to catch a kind of Kite Falcon, much smaller than the Azure Falcon. These days, no hunter dares to catch Azure Falcon. That thing only exists in 'that place,' you can't see it anywhere else."

Qin Yiyi Qing Chen: "I'll put some medicine on your foot for you later. Don't worry, I don't mind. When my dad was injured before, my mom and I always treated his wounds. My dad said I was meticulous and had better eyesight than my mom, so I treated the wounds cleanly."

"No need," Qing Chen shook his head.

By this time Qin Yiyi had already set up the tent. Turning around, she prepared to return to the campfire. As she left, she whispered, "I noticed you've been sleeping outside the whole time. You can manage for a day or two, but not a week. The ground is too cold. You can use my tent from now on. I'll go share with my sister."

"Uh, no need for that, I'll be fine sleeping outside," Qing Chen quickly refused.

"Whatever you want. Anyway, if you don't sleep, the tent will just be empty," Qin Yiyi and left.

The wilderness girl was straightforward, just like when she gave Qing Chen the apple; she simply shoved it into the boy's hand, leaving him no room to refuse.

Living on this land, everyone lives a life where there is no tomorrow. Don't hesitate, because once you hesitate, the person you want to say a lot to may no longer be there.

Qin Yiyi's older sister was like that. She used to like a man who was the eldest son of another hunting team, but she never saw him again after returning from a hunting trip.

It is said that they got lost in Forbidden Zone and never came out.

Qing Chen was about to say something when, at that moment, a glimmer of light flashed by through a gap in the woods.

The boy did not react at all, and did not even turn his head to look.

That night, Qin Yiyi went into her sister's tent early. Laughter could be heard coming from inside the small tent, and it was unclear what the two of them were talking about.

Seeing that Qing Chen still had no intention of going to Qin Yiyi's tent, Li Shutong asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it good enough to have a place to sleep?"

Qing Chen shook his head. "I don't want to owe anyone a favor."

"Foolish," Li Shutong shook his head and said, "Don't force me to knock you out and throw you in. There's no need for so many formalities when you're out and about. Go quickly."

Qing Chen stared at the teacher in front of him in disbelief, unable to utter a word for a long time.

He had no doubt that his teacher was capable of knocking him unconscious and throwing him into the tent!

"Teacher, when I was setting up my tent just now, I accidentally saw a reflection in the woods. I suspect someone was secretly observing me with binoculars," Qing Chen said after thinking for a moment. "I feel something is strange."

At this moment, Li Shutong calmly said, "Go and stay in the tent. Tonight, your teacher will give you your first lesson in this wilderness."

When Qing Chen crawled into Qin Yiyi's tent, he was surprised to see two chocolates on the sleeping mat. He knew that these were things that hunters would bring to replenish their energy when they went out, but Qin Yiyi had secretly taken them and given them to him.

He lay on the mat, not sleeping, slowly chewing on chocolate. The chocolate in this Inner World was no different from that in the Outer World.

Qing Chen knew something was going to happen tonight, but he wasn't staying up because of fear.

With Li Shutong around, he would be fine even if he were in Forbidden Zone right now.

He just wanted to know what would happen tonight.

Countdown: 70:00:00.

2 a. m.

The shadows were indistinct in the woods, and the rustling of the leaves sounded like the wind stirring something.

In the sky, a pale crescent moon hung in the air, so clear that one could see the craters on the moon with the naked eye.

Moonlight shines down on the ground, filtering through the gaps in the trees and scattering across the earth.

Within these beams of light and shadow, someone gently pulled the bolt of a gun.

Suddenly, dark clouds drifted across the sky, as if a gloomy city had flown overhead.

The campfire was suddenly lowered by some kind of aura, and the light in the entire camp dimmed. It seemed to have been forgotten, sinking into darkness.

"Don't move, I'm going out to take a look," the old man Qin Cheng said to his wife beside him.

Old man Qin Cheng vaguely heard some noises, so he picked up the pistol beside his pillow and quietly slipped out of the tent.

But as soon as he poked his head out of the tent, someone held a knife to his neck.

Qin Cheng turned his head and saw Zhang Tongdan smiling at him, "Shh, don't talk. We're just interested in your in-law. We want to see if any of the important people in the city have anything valuable on them. We were too rushed before to see clearly. Does he have any mechanical limbs, like nano-alloy ones?"

Qin Cheng shook his head. "I don't know, Zhang Tongdan. We've been working together for so long, don't break the rules. If you do anything wrong, I'll tell your boss about it."

"Don't try to intimidate me with the boss. He's way too far away right now," Zhang Tongdan chuckled, his wrinkles resembling the grotesque landscape eroded by wind. "A big shot who can casually give away Thor must be worth a lot of money if he has mechanical limbs. Don't say anything, just kill them both and we'll leave. Don't worry about it, your second daughter is so pretty, she won't have trouble finding a man in the wilderness. If she really can't find one, she could be my concubine."

Qin Cheng's forehead veins bulged with rage. He suddenly rolled backward, roaring, "Watch out for enemy attacks!"

It wasn't that he particularly wanted to warn Qing Chen and Li Shutong, but rather that he knew Zhang Tongdan's nature; this man was like a wolf, and once he chose to break the rules, he wouldn't let anyone in the camp leave.

Zhang Tongdan knew something was wrong when Qin Cheng rolled over. He tried to slit Qin Cheng's throat with all his might, but he didn't expect that Qin Cheng's collar had an alloy lining that ordinary knives couldn't cut through!

"Hurry up and kill that city guy first!" Zhang Tongdan shouted.
