After listening to Fu Heng's words, Ye Yunxi's expression gradually became serious.

Did those wild animals let him go because he was lucky or capable, or were they playing the long game?

If it is indeed the latter, then the intelligence of these animals should not be underestimated.

Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine.

This situation, however, cannot be ignored.

If it's true, then tonight probably won't be peaceful.

Ye Yunxi became serious: "Then let's go talk to Li Yan now."

"good."

"Brother Fu, wait for me." Hu Huiyi was very nervous after hearing Ye Yunxi and the others' conversation.

Upon hearing Hu Huiyi's voice, Ye Yunxi turned around and looked at Hu Huiyi with a half-smile.

"Brother Fu? Try calling me that again! Are you out of your mind, or am I mistaken? I warned you before, stay away from us, or you'll regret it."

"Look at you, coming to provoke us again. Have you got a death wish? I wouldn't mind sending you on your way."

Ye Yunxi smiled and said in a sinister tone as she walked step by step toward Hu Huiyi.

Terrified by Ye Yunxi's words, Hu Huiyi retreated repeatedly, shaking her head frantically: "No, I don't want to die! I was wrong, please forgive me! I'll never do it again!"

"Let you go? Never again? I've already let you go, but you didn't appreciate it. Tell me, where should I chop you up?"

Ye Yunxi took out a dagger and pressed closer, pointing the dagger at Hu Huiyi's body as a threat.

"No, no! Don't come any closer! I really know I was wrong!"

Startled by Ye Yunxi, Hu Huiyi turned and ran away without looking back.

"That's boring. I just wanted to scare her, but I ended up running away." Ye Yunxi pouted and said to Fu Heng.

"Let them run, as long as they don't threaten us," Fu Heng said gently.

"It's getting late, let's go tell Li Yan first and tell him to get ready."

Ye Yunxi nodded, "Doing great things is what's important."

The two people and the dog quickly returned to the lobby.

As soon as they arrived at the lobby entrance, they saw Li Yan calling for people to cook food for the survivors.

"Captain Li!" Fu Heng shouted at Li Yan.

When Li Yan saw someone calling him, he turned around and looked at the source of the voice. He saw Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi, so he smiled and waved to them.

Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi strode towards Li Yan, their expressions unusually serious.

Seeing their serious expressions, Li Yan stopped smiling and asked, "What happened?"

Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng exchanged a glance and nodded.

Fu Heng looked at Li Yan and said, "We were just looking for a secluded place to rest when we heard a survivor bullying a woman. I dealt with him, but then I noticed he was injured."

The injuries are from animal scratches. We suspect it was intentional on the part of a wild animal. Tonight will likely be a sleepless night. Captain Li, you should send more people to be on guard.

Li Yan listened to Fu Heng's words thoughtfully, "Alright, I'll give the order right away. You all need to be careful too."

"We will."

Li Yan nodded and went to give instructions to his men.

"Let's find a place to rest and take precautions," Fu Heng said softly.

Ye Yunxi nodded and found a house closer to the main hall. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it could still provide shelter from the wind and snow.

The two found a relatively clean spot to sit down.

Fu Heng took out a machine that resembled a small sun, pressed the switch, and the surroundings gradually became warmer.

"Yunxi, it's still early, you should get some sleep." Fu Heng turned to look at Ye Yunxi.

"Okay, then you can sleep with me too."

Ye Yunxi woke up at midnight, and it was now past six in the evening. She hadn't slept for more than ten hours, so she was indeed a little sleepy.

Ye Yunxi took out three sleeping bags from her spatial storage, one for Fu Heng and one for Yunzi.

Ye Yunxi crawled into her sleeping bag, closed her eyes, and fell asleep almost instantly.

Fu Heng listened to Ye Yunxi's even breathing and knew that she had fallen asleep.

Looking at her sleeping face, Fu Heng smiled.

Not long after, he crawled into his sleeping bag and dozed off.

More than two hours later, it was already past 8 p.m.

This was before the apocalypse, when nightlife was just beginning.

It's currently the time when many people are going to sleep, and quite a few are already fast asleep.

A while later, around nine o'clock, Fu Heng heard noises outside again.

Yun Ziye looked up warily outside.

That was the sound of heavy footsteps on the snow. The sound wasn't loud, but Fu Heng still heard it.

At this moment, Ye Yunxi also sat up alertly.

The two exchanged a glance, nodded simultaneously, picked up their weapons, quietly got up, and walked towards the window.

Looking out through the crack, I didn't see many dark figures in the yard.

These dark figures gradually approached the lobby, forming an encirclement.

Seeing this scene, Ye Yunxi's heart sank.

The fact that these animals only surrounded us after so much time suggests that they had been waiting outside all along.

They would wait until late at night, when everyone was asleep, before launching their attack.

Although we know that animals all have the ability to hunt, and that they are natural-born hunters.

These animals are now so clever that they feed on humans.

The animals in the yard weren't particularly fast, but given the distance, it didn't take them long to get close to the main hall.

Just then, the windows in the lobby opened one after another, and the dark muzzles of guns peeked out. As the gunshots rang out, the entire farmhouse tensed up.
