"Brother... thank you for your hard work these past few days," Yin Xin said, emphasizing each word.

"It's alright, brother, I'm not tired." Yin Hang was overjoyed, watching his sister burst into tears of happiness.

Meanwhile, Lin Bin and Tao Huihui also learned that there were natural treatments that could alleviate the symptoms of infection from the toxic fog.

It actually appeared like a monster drop, how amazing!

To be honest, although the couple's condition wasn't as severe as Yin Xin's, their skin and flesh also had ulcers in places that weren't visible under their clothes.

These past few days, Tao Huihui has been coughing a lot at night, and she's even thinking of using the spray the government gave her before!

So Lin Bin got excited and used all his skills to kill the Fog Ghosts, trying to stock up on one for himself and his wife.

Xiao Jin said that for every ten ordinary mist ghosts they killed, he would give them a vial of purification serum.

Xiao Jin wasn't being kind, and she didn't know how the system calculated it, but the Mist Ghosts that Lin Bin and the others killed were ultimately attributed to her.

It's only right to give some rewards to those who work hard to earn points for free.

As for why this happened, Xiao Jin had some guesses. Perhaps it was because he had given them props and weapons!

……………………

The off-road vehicle rolled over the gravel-strewn mountain road, its wheels leaving two winding tracks in the withered weeds.

Xiao Jin gripped the steering wheel with one hand, glancing at the three crooked figures in the rearview mirror out of the corner of her eye—Lin Bin was whispering to Tao Huihui, while Yin Hang was dozing off with his backpack in his arms, drooling all over his clothes.

From midnight onwards, they were either running away or killing fog demons.

Unlike Xiao Jin, the others were exhausted and barely ate anything but a couple of pieces of bread in the car.

"We've arrived." Xiao Jin suddenly slammed on the brakes.

A muffled thud came from the back seat. Yin Hang groaned, clutching his nose that had hit the front seat, "Bro, you should have given me a heads-up! My nose..."

Xiao Jin ignored him.

She rolled down the car window, and a cold wind carrying an unpleasant fumes rushed in.

Fifty meters away on the mountainside, the rusty iron door of the air-raid shelter looked like a giant mouth, with the words "Military Restricted Area" still remaining in dark red on the door frame.

"Something's not right." Xiao Jin narrowed her eyes.

Lin Bin leaned closer to open the car door: "Isn't this great..."

"Don't move!" Xiao Jin grabbed his wrist with her other hand. "There's a camera in the bushes at three o'clock."

Following her gaze, everyone looked in the direction she indicated. The withered shrubs swayed in the wind, with a faint metallic glint flashing by.

Tao Huihui suddenly covered her mouth: "There are some in the cracks in the rocks over there too!"

Xiao Jin tapped her fingertips on the steering wheel.

Something's wrong! Something's really wrong!

At a time like this, there's no electricity, let alone cameras. So who placed the cameras around the air-raid shelter?

Moreover, Xiao Jin could see very clearly that the seemingly messy rubble in front of the air-raid shelter actually formed a perfect warning circle.

The deliberately hidden tire tracks also indicate that someone else got here before them.

"After you get out of the car, follow me and don't make any sudden moves." She drew her long sword and tucked it into her lower back. "Yin Hang, take this weapon."

Yin Hang swallowed hard, a strange sense of crisis rising within him: "Brother, how about we switch..."

"It's too late." Xiao Jin pushed open the driver's side door. "From the moment we entered the mountains, they had at least five surveillance cameras watching us."

"ah?"

The group followed Xiao Jin cautiously, advancing step by step.

Scattered on the open ground in front of the air-raid shelter were spent shell casings. Xiao Jin brushed aside a dead leaf with his toe, revealing brand-new tire tracks underneath—widened tires of a military off-road vehicle.

"Brother Xiao, look!" Yin Hang suddenly lowered his voice, "There are scratches on the keyhole of the iron gate; it was opened recently."

Tao Huihui looked puzzled: "This place has really been abandoned for a long time, why would anyone come here?"

Xiao Jin remained silent, but she already had a guess in her heart.

“They should be like us, seeking refuge, but…” Before Xiao Jin could finish speaking, Lin Bin had already run towards the iron gate in a daze.

"This door uses an old-fashioned rotary lock. My grandfather taught me how to use it, so it doesn't count as..."

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out at that moment.

Xiao Jin's pupils contracted sharply, and her ears twitched. In the instant she spun and pounced, her longsword had already slashed out in a silver arc, directly meeting the incoming attack.

"Clang!"

The trembling sound of metal clashing echoed through the valley.

Lin Bin stood frozen, watching the deformed bullet spin in front of his shoe. Tao Huihui's scream caught in her throat, turning into a sob.

"Honey, honey, are you alright?" She quickly pulled Lin Bin back.

"Back off!" Xiao Jin stood in front of the crowd, her sword held high. A second bullet grazed her earlobe, sending sparks flying on the ground.

At this moment, Yin Hang finally reacted. He performed a tactical roll and hid behind the off-road vehicle, not exposing himself to the obstacle.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several more bullets flew out, hitting the car and scattering sparks.

Xiao Jin suddenly grabbed Lin Bin and Tao Huihui by the collar and threw them to the other side. Then, his long sword danced in front of him, forming a silver net, and five crisp sounds exploded in succession.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that she had precisely split all five bullets in half.

At this point, Lin Bin was still dumbfounded and hadn't reacted yet.

He was awakened by the pain in his arm, and when he looked down, he saw Tao Huihui pinching him tightly.

When he came to his senses, Lin Bin's back was covered in cold sweat. If it hadn't been for Xiao Jin, he would have died.

Yin Hang stammered as he squatted to the side, "Wh...what's going on? Why did someone fire a gun?"

By this time, everyone realized that there were people in the air-raid shelter, and it must have been them. But they were just ordinary people; if they weren't allowed to get close, they weren't allowed to get close, so why did they have to open fire?

Meanwhile, the people inside the air-raid shelter were also dumbfounded.

The man standing in front of the monitor stared in disbelief, then his finger trembled as he pointed at Xiao Jin: "She...she...did she just chop bullets with her bare hands?!"

The person behind the man was also stunned. After a long while, the other person nodded: "Yes, that's right, she deflected the bullet."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out of the monitoring room shouting, "Captain, Captain!! It's terrible, someone's outside..."

After Xiao Jin blocked the attack, there was no further movement inside.

Yin Hang wanted to peek out, but he was worried that he would be shot in the head if he showed himself, so he could only quietly squat behind the car.

Xiao Jin stared intently at the constantly flashing camera, showing neither an intention to hide nor a desire to attack.

About three minutes later, a muffled sound of gears turning suddenly came from deep inside the air-raid shelter.

"Buzz... Warning... Buzz... Warning, personnel ahead, please evacuate immediately... Personnel ahead, please evacuate immediately..."

A distorted electronic voice came from the loudspeaker in the air-raid shelter. Xiao Jin frowned, then threw out a few steel balls, causing the loudspeaker to explode.
