The outdoor environment wasn't good, especially late at night when Ke Yuanyun could always smell a faint stench in the air.
From this building.
He clutched his arm, looking agitated.
They had only known each other for a short time and didn't have much of a relationship.
After chatting for a while, they fell silent.
"Why don't you take a nap first, and I'll wake you up in an hour?"
Qin Jie offered this suggestion out of kindness.
During the day, Ke Yuanyun had spent a lot of time and energy on this and was already sleepy.
"You said it yourself!"
Qin Tan volunteered to be the sucker, which pleased Ke Yuanyun.
"Okay, go to sleep."
Qin Jie smiled good-naturedly.
Ke Yuanyun still had some principles; she simply took out a blanket and laid it down next to Qin Jie, without going into the tent.
Listening to Ke Yuanyun's breathing beside him, Qin Jie fiddled with the weapon wrapped around his wrist.
He stretched the strings taut, his fingers brushing across them, his slender fingers dancing and sketching silent notes.
If someone who understands music saw this, they would recognize that Qin Jie was playing a famous piano piece.
His humming was barely audible, yet it complemented the playing perfectly.
The night passed safely thanks to the changing of the guards.
The next morning, when Qin Tan got up, he found Xi Yang squatting outside his tent, lost in thought.
"what are you doing here?"
Qin Tan asked, and the boy's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
"that……"
The moment Xi Yang saw Qin Tan, his eyes lit up. He took a few steps over, wanting to grab Qin Tan, but then lowered his hand with a sheepish smile at Qin Tan's warning look.
In the direction that Xi Yang was pointing to, the white ghost that belonged to Xi Yang had grown from half a person's height yesterday to Xi Yang's height.
Upon closer inspection, it appears that the outline of the features of the white ghost's face is beginning to emerge.
The timid Xi Yang spent the whole night in fear, her face long and mournful.
"Let me ride with you today. I'm easily frightened, and if I'm not in good shape, it will affect my work."
Xi Yang spoke with such sincerity and earnestness.
Perhaps the white ghost thought he was easy to bully; when he woke up early in the morning, the other party was almost crawling into the tent.
That damned Bai Yucheng, he didn't even bother to zip up his jacket before going out.
That's scary, okay?
"……OK."
Due to Xi Yang's request, Qin Tan got into the lead car again.
After having a good breakfast and packing their bags, the group set off again.
The rest of the route can only be explored by the group, but fortunately, they know a general direction.
That base is in the northwest.
It's very far away.
No one knows how long this journey will take.
After a day of reflection, yesterday's passion subsided, and the conversations on the channel became much quieter.
Bathed in the bright morning sun, the wheels rolled forward.
Bai Yu, using the excuse that she didn't want to be with those young masters, forced her way into Qin Tan's car.
Bai Yucheng, with his legs crossed, looked like he deserved a beating.
Even in the past, cities had boundaries.
Further on, the number of building ruins decreased significantly, and it wouldn't be long before they left the city and entered the real wilderness.
Unfortunately, I'm having a bad day.
Not long after they started walking, Qin Tan heard something fall onto the roof of the car.
At first, I thought it was something like stones falling from the surrounding high-rise buildings, but soon those things became more dense, like raindrops hitting us.
A series of loud crackling sounds followed, creating a powerful effect.
Although the vehicles have undergone special modifications, they are not indestructible.
If Qin Tan heard correctly, those things on the roof of the car were launching a landing attack towards a certain point.
It has the meaning of breaking through the surface by focusing on a single point.
Be careful.
Xia Shuang said in the channel.
"It's a type of tumbleweed."
Bai Yucheng opened the window, reached into the roof of the car, and brought in a fist-sized, pitch-black object.
Its exterior is covered with a thick carapace.
The hardness of this shell is comparable to that of some metals.
"Don't be fooled by their heavy appearance; there are actually special organ structures beneath their shells."
"Similar to balloons, as long as the wind blows, gas can be poured in, allowing them to float with the wind."
"These insects all appear in swarms."
"As for its offensive power, it's about what it is right now."
The sound from above, like the continuous banging of gongs and drums, never stopped.
They seemed to have encountered a large migrating tumbleweed; a dark mass could be seen from a slightly higher point ahead.
More and more were falling, some even hitting the car windows and windshields.
The sound made one fear that the glass would shatter.
"Tell me what we do now!"
Ke Yuanyun was the most anxious.
"What to do? Just deal with it."
Bai Yucheng chuckled: "Knowing it's dangerous, why aren't you stepping on the gas?"
"These insects are not very aggressive, but metal is the number one food on their menu."
Most parts of the car are made of metal.
Once all these insects gather, the car's structure will likely be eaten away.
After throwing the insect in his hand away, Bai Yucheng's eyes flashed with electricity.
"I'll drive, the rest of you follow."
He and Qin Tan quickly switched seats in the car, then he stepped on the gas, and with a roar, they started racing.
Those behind followed closely.
Qin Tan noticed through the rearview mirror that once the tumbleweeds landed on the roof of each car, they would stick to it like a stubborn plaster.
During the violent impact, Qin Tan could hear the sound of metal being compressed.
