Chapter 399 We can repay a favor
City D.
The team is still alive and staying here temporarily.
"Xiao Xi and Lu Ning are missing?"
When Ye Yan heard the news, her mind buzzed. She looked at Liang Lin who came to inform her and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Liang Lin said, "The specific situation is still unclear. Our captain also disappeared along with Ye Xi and that Lu Ning. All three of them, plus Ye Xi's octopus, have disappeared without a trace. We've searched the area within dozens of kilometers. I'm afraid all we can do now is wait. With our captain here, we'll definitely be able to bring Ye Xi and Lu Ning back. I just came here to tell you about this matter first, so you don't have to worry too much."
"How can we wait like this?"
Long Liang was anxious, "How about Instructor Liang, could you please tell me the details?"
“…”
Liang Lin had no choice but to tell the whole story from beginning to end.
"We initially assumed they were taken out together by the captain. Ten hours have passed since this morning, and we haven't seen them return. They must have accidentally gone somewhere further."
But where exactly did it go?
They couldn't find it either.
There is nothing we can do except wait.
"Oh right..."
Liang Lin continued, "Ye Xi's orange cat is called Big Tiger, right? He was also injured and was sent to the military headquarters by Pei Hongqing for injections and treatment. He should be fine now. You can go and pick him up."
“!!!”
Even the big tiger was injured.
Ye Yan frowned even more tightly, and it was hard not to worry about her sister's safety.
Long Liang hurriedly said, "Brother Han, Xiaohong, you guys take care of Sister Yan. I'm going to the military headquarters to bring Big Tiger back first."
"Um."
Ye Yan nodded, her face full of worry.
Liu Hong could only comfort her, "Don't worry, Sister Yan. Sister Xi is so amazing, and with Brother Xie by her side, the two of them are very strong together. Add in Little Octopus and Instructor Yan, everything will be fine."
"My headache is that we don't know where they are right now. How long do we have to wait for them to come back?"
This is the end of the world.
It's not as simple as going on a long journey.
How could Ye Yan let go?
Han Chi said, "Then we won't go anywhere until Xiaoxi comes back."
Ye Yan was slightly stunned and looked at him.
Han Chi's eyes were firm. "Our team has always been centered around Xiaoxi. Didn't she say she'd leave City D for City B tomorrow? So let's wait here. She'll definitely be back as soon as possible. She won't want you to worry too much about her."
"right!"
Liu Hong nodded in agreement.
Ye Yan hummed softly, "This is the only way."
They won't go anywhere until Xiaoxi comes back.
-
"A-choo!"
On the isolated island, it was completely dark.
The temperature dropped drastically.
During the day, the body surface temperature is still autumn, but at night it drops directly to below zero.
Ye Xi took out a thick down jacket from the space and put it on, but still couldn't help sneezing.
It’s not that her physical condition is poor. Look at Yan Fei and Lu Feihan next to her, they are sneezing too.
Because it has started snowing on this island.
The huge temperature difference made it a little difficult for them to adapt while hiding in the cave temporarily.
Even weirder.
The level five turkey they caught seemed to be unable to feel the temperature and continued to stare at them while squatting there.
The cave they are in now is also the turkey's nest, and there are many furs and skeletons of other mutant animals in it.
This level five mutant turkey is not a vegetarian.
It is not afraid of the cold either.
Yan Fei flipped through the other turkey feathers in the cave and said, "These things can keep out the cold and are quite warm. This must be the result of their evolution. No wonder they are not afraid of the sub-zero temperature outside now."
He had already taken out his sleeping bag and stuffed it with turkey feathers. He asked the two men, "Can I make one for you, too?"
Lu Feihan shook his head, "No need."
"Ye Xi, what about you?"
"I'm... okay. I'll get used to it soon enough."
"Okay, then you guys watch first. I'll sleep, and then we'll get up and take turns keeping watch later."
After Yan Fei finished speaking, he crawled into his sleeping bag.
After all, he is a soldier, and also a general who manages so many people. His ability to adapt to the wild is terrifying.
Ye Xi had just heard him say that he wanted to go to sleep when he heard the sound of even breathing.
She looked at Lu Feihan and whispered, "Do you want to sleep for a while too?"
Lu Feihan looked at her, his deep pupils bright and dark under the light of the fire. Ye Xi could see that his deathly aura was spreading outward.
His main body cannot be used for that long.
It would be best if I could change into Xie Ning's body now.
She quickly leaned over and whispered, "Then let's go outside so that Instructor Yan won't find us?"
"Um……"
Before Lu Feihan even opened his mouth, she understood everything.
This body was indeed troublesome, and even he himself felt a little annoyed.
The two walked out and took the blue-ringed octopus with them.
The little octopus is afraid of the cold and is almost frozen into a popsicle.
But he still helped to move Xie Ning's body out of the space first, and then moved it back after Lu Feihan changed.
Finally, it couldn't bear it anymore, so it shrank its body and hid under the belly of the level five turkey, and then a satisfied expression appeared on its little head.
The level five turkey rolled his eyes, looking disheartened.
After Lu Feihan changed his clothes, Ye Xi handed him an even thicker down jacket, which wrapped him up tightly, even covering his face.
Fortunately, in this situation, even if Yan Fei wakes up, he will not find anything unusual.
Lu Feihan can control his aura, and as long as he speaks less, he will not be discovered.
However, Ye Xi felt that hiding it like this was not a good idea, because Lu Feihan's body was prone to leaking death energy, and they needed to stay with Yan Fei for a long time until they returned to S City.
Ye Xi had a bold idea and couldn't help but whisper to Lu Feihan, "How about we not hide it from Instructor Yan?"
Lu Feihan paused and said, "Yan Fei is indeed a trustworthy person."
"Yeah. Here's what I was thinking. The three of us have no choice but to stay together for the time being, and it's troublesome for you to switch bodies all the time. If he knew, maybe he could help cover for us. After all, you saved him before, so you're his savior. We can repay the favor."
Ye Xi thought that it shouldn't be difficult to ask Yan Fei to keep it a secret.
More importantly, Yan Fei’s character is trustworthy.
Lu Feihan nodded, "Okay."
Ye Xi hummed and pulled him inside, "Then you go and rest first, I'll keep watch for a while."
There were also many sounds of wild animals coming from outside.
In this deep forest covered with heavy snow, it looks particularly eerie and gloomy.
Lu Feihan looked at her cheeks, which were slightly red from the cold, and frowned slightly. "I'm fine. You go and rest first. Go to sleep in the space. You will replenish your energy faster. Yan Fei should wake up soon."
"All right."
Seeing that he insisted, Ye Xi didn't know what to say.
Anyway, she can hear the noise outside when she enters the space, so it doesn't matter.
When she went in, she also took the blue-ringed octopus with her to prevent it from freezing outside.
Lu Feihan sat at the entrance of the cave, next to the level five mutant turkey. He grabbed it and used its belly to warm his hands while his eyes swept towards the woods outside.
At this moment, a pair of dark green eyes appeared particularly eerie in the darkness, filled with predatory instincts, staring intently at the cave entrance where they were...
