Chapter 52: Whoever wins the war between brothers is Jiang Huai
Cui Wanwan was in a daze.
She was thinking about how long it would take her to leave this area. Although Cui Yinyin told her that she might encounter a surprise today, did the surprise refer to the fragments of human beings lying on the ground?
"Tsk." She shook her head with some regret.
Cui Wanwan picked up a can of beer and walked towards the rooftop. She was now on the top floor of a hotel, which was located in a busy commercial district, allowing her to see the entire scenery from the rooftop.
The evening breeze blew her hair.
Cui Wanwan calculated the number of monsters she had killed recently and the size of her current territory, and thought: If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to leave tomorrow...
This is the trouble with unowned areas. The size of the area is directly linked to the strength and number of the monsters in the area. If you want to leave, the safest way is:
Actively reduce the number of monsters and leave when the area is reduced in size.
In other words,
Cut as much as you can.
"snort……"
Sitting on the edge of the rooftop, Cui Wanwan opened the can expressionlessly, and dense bubbles instantly gushed out from the opening. She looked down at the dim high-rise buildings and drank from it in big gulps.
It would take at least several months to completely clear this area.
Cui Wanwan estimated the size of the area with her eyes and thought absentmindedly: But the authorities are obviously unable to control the development here, and can only expect it to be swallowed up by other disaster areas in the future.
"We will encounter this problem again sooner or later..."
In the evening breeze, Cui Wanwan's voice was very soft.
She seemed to recall some inappropriate method, frowned and murmured: "I hope it won't come to that."
Suddenly, lights were moving on the dim street.
Cui Wanwan subconsciously looked in the direction of the light and tilted her head and said, "It looks like you are looking for me."
I just don't know whether they are survivors or disasters.
"It's much weaker than I thought..." Cui Wanwan shook the empty can and suddenly took a deep breath, "Okay, it's time to work again."
She then crushed the can and threw it down from a high altitude.
A muffled sound was heard from the ground. Cui Wanwan, who was standing at the edge of the rooftop, moved.
The monsters in the ownerless area are much weaker than those in the normal disaster area.
But the reason why this ownerless domain is almost covering Spring City is very simple: it is not the only disaster domain that has descended on Spring City. The master of another domain chose to return to the abyss after obtaining enough flesh and blood.
The present world, the abyss, the present world.
He jumped between the two, intending to go to a more suitable hunting ground. If the government was still functioning properly, they should be investigating the whereabouts of another disaster area now...
But unfortunately there is no if.
Is the abyss good or bad?
Cui Wanwan suddenly felt troubled, but she didn't think about it any further, because a more serious and realistic problem than the abyss was before her.
A black thorn suddenly attacked her from the darkness.
Cui Wanwan narrowly avoided the attack. She took several steps back and stood in the corner of the rooftop. She turned sideways and said coldly, "It seems that you are not as stupid as I thought."
After realizing that he could not deceive humans with disguise, the Faceless Man chose to confront them head-on.
One, two, three black shadows climbed up from the wall. With human-like eyes, they stared at the human who slaughtered their race in the dim light.
"What kind of monster was your dead master?" Cui Wanwan suddenly asked softly, "Are your current actions based on his will or your own?"
This was a question that puzzled her, but she had no answer.
“Who made you homeless?”
She could find no trace of the murderer in the field.
Only the struggle between domain masters can give birth to an ownerless domain, but this also means that the domain master, as the winner, refuses to accept the forces of the loser.
Perhaps only the abyss can answer this.

“There is a problem.”
Xiao Yiyan subconsciously frowned and looked into the distance. He just heard the sound of fighting, and the breeze also brought him the fishy smell from afar. Is someone injured?
The lights are not turned off tonight.
Xiao Yiyan couldn't find the saboteur's location because the saboteur himself did not carry out any sabotage tonight. He was distracted by more serious matters.
In the darkness, the black shadows' agitation became more and more intense.
Xiao Yiyan looked at the people around him. After struggling for a moment, he said to Li Ming, "Li Ming, follow me closely."
"What about me?" Jiang Huai asked blankly.
"You——" Xiao Yiyan could no longer conceal the disgust on his face, "Go back to where you came from."
Jiang Huai: “…”
There is so little brotherly love.
The leaves were suddenly blown to the ground by the strong wind. When Li Ming reacted, he had been pulled away from his original position by Xiao Yiyan. But Xiao Yiyan quickly let go of his hand after doing this and took a few steps back.
Li Ming looked at the person in front of him, then looked at Jiang Huai who was half a street away from them, and suddenly realized his current situation:
Neither of them took the other as a real person, and neither of them took him as a real person.
How to solve this situation?
But when Li Ming calmed down, he saw several dark shadows climbing on the trees. Their movements were silent, their communication was silent, and the darkness provided them with the best cover.
The moment Jiang Huai noticed the change in Li Ming's gaze, he took action. Flashing arcs jumped around him, and soon followed his touch, knocking the black shadows on the trees to the ground.
The two brothers were half a street apart, looking at each other.
At this moment, they both realized that the other was in the current area.
The lights in the convenience store flickered a few times strangely. A dark figure was walking out. As the convenience store's doorbell rang, "Thank you for your patronage," a Jiang Huai walked out of the store.
"Heh, another Jiang Huai who didn't pull my tie."
Xiao Yiyan couldn't help but want to complain about the current development. He now believed that there must be someone in the current field who knew Jiang Huai, and this friend had a good impression of Jiang Huai.
"Li Ming, follow me." Xiao Yiyan shouted to Li Ming again.
"What should I do then?"
The way out was blocked by a black shadow falling from a tree. Jiang Huai glanced at Jiang Huai, who walked out of the convenience store with twisted hands and feet, and pointed at himself with one hand.
"If you two fight, whoever wins will be Jiang Huai, how about that?" Li Ming said with shining eyes.
"Are you Li Ming?"
Is it possible that Li Ming would say such a heartless thing?
Jiang Huai's brows twitched after hearing this.
Just as Jiang Huai wanted to argue for his uniqueness, his brother, Xiao Yiyan No. 1, said with a bright look in his eyes, "Good idea."
Jiang Huai: “…”
"When you win, we'll meet at the gas station outside Chuncheng." Xiao Yiyan hurriedly said this and pulled Li Ming away.
Jiang Huai, who was thrown into the dark shadows, looked at the two people's backs getting farther and farther away with a depressed heart.
He experienced the fate of being abandoned by both his brother and his classmates on the same day.
The smell of blood in the evening breeze suddenly could not be concealed.
While running, Li Ming subconsciously raised his head and looked around. During the time he had been traveling with Xiao Yiyan, he had realized that the Faceless Man's imitation would become increasingly difficult to recognize as time went by.
But today they chose to fight with their original attitude.
"It must be that he was pushed to the extreme."
Xiao Yiyan said without turning his head: "Li Ming, after you ask for the method of leaving, find a place to hide by yourself. I also want to participate in this battle."
Li Ming was stunned after hearing this:
It seems that Xiao Yiyan is not sure whether he is a human or not. But now Xiao Yiyan still chooses to let himself be with him, which can only be said to be worthy of being the recognized "male mother" in the forum...
"Okay." Li Ming answered firmly.
Not everyone has the talent to identify monsters, and Li Ming feels that he cannot think from their perspective. Especially since the rules of this field can easily cause conflicts between people.
When the two passed a crossroads, they finally saw someone who might be the saboteur.
Cui Wanwan stood on the exposed steel bars of the construction site and glanced at the two people indifferently. The small light on her waist flashed a few times at inopportune times, revealing the scattered and rotting human fragments around her.
But it is not known whether those fragments fell from the black shadow's stomach or existed originally on the construction site.
[The Revelation: Cui Wanwan]
[Identity: A-level Revelation]
[Talent: A-72 Metal Craftsmanship]
[Note: This talent is more of an auxiliary one, but due to the owner's preference, it now frequently appears on the front battlefield. It may also be because the weapons of the current civilization are mostly related to metal, so this talent plays a greater role than expected.]
[Perhaps a new owner will bring things back to normal? I think so.]
[PS: The current civilization's technology tree is in an extremely biased state. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Abyss chose to end early.]
Li Ming suddenly felt like vomiting, but he forced himself to stop himself.
"I didn't expect I'd run into anyone tonight."
Cui Wanwan jumped down from the steel bar. She raised her flashlight and shone it towards the two people, but her words revealed the meaning: I don't believe it.
"Do you know how to leave?" Xiao Yiyan went straight to the point.
Cui Wanwan frowned immediately: "Survivors?"
She finally gave up her previous speaking pattern and said straightforwardly: "Wait until a day that has never been sunny, and then drive away at dusk that day."
“The way you came is the way you leave.”
But after saying this, Cui Wanwan looked at the two of them coldly: "But whether you believe it or not is not something I should think about."
Life is priceless, but life also has value.
She won't save people just for the sake of saving them.
"Maybe we can wait until dawn to confirm each other's identities..." Xiao Yiyan stated calmly.
Cui Wanwan regretfully shook her head when she saw this: "I can't do that now, because I will leave tomorrow. But if you don't believe me, kill enough black shadows and you can open the way to leave again."
"Will there be a chance to enter again after leaving?" Xiao Yiyan asked subconsciously.
"That depends on the rules of the domain itself," Cui Wanwan replied. "We currently cannot determine whether we can enter the domain again."
The blockade of the "Rainy Night Terror" area was too hasty at that time, not to mention that Cui Wanwan herself was not responsible for the management of this area. Her grasp of the current situation is at the same level as Xiao Yiyan's current level.
"This is another test of humanity." Xiao Yiyan said, suppressing his inner irritation.
Only those who can identify monsters can stay in this area calmly. He has confirmed that Jiang Huai is here, although he doesn't know whether Jiang Huai knows how to leave, but...
Xiao Yiyan admitted that he had been successfully controlled in this field.
Xiao Yiyan's eyes suddenly turned to Li Ming. Li Ming blinked blankly at this. As the person who could best understand the current situation, he said weakly:
"I think we can wait until we get out."
"Rainy Night Terror" is simply a large-scale Werewolf game. In the end, it turned into mutual suspicion among humans, and no one dared to believe that the person talking to them was a real person.
“We’ll talk about it later.” Cui Wanwan suddenly stepped back a few steps and said coldly, “I’ll stay nearby for a few days. If you have anything to ask, you can come find me… um…”
After thinking for a moment, she spoke clearly, "The gas station. Let's meet at the gas station."
"It's settled then." Xiao Yiyan said calmly.
Cui Wanwan's proposal coincided with his idea.
After the hasty meeting, Cui Wanwan quickly left the place. Although she couldn't be sure whether the other party was a human, it was always a good thing to stay away from him. She had already fought off a wave of attacks from the black shadows, and there was no guarantee that the next wave would happen.
Li Ming looked at the other person's hurried figure helplessly.
He was actually more curious about where the little witch had gone. If Cui Wanwan couldn't be sure whether the people around her were real people, then she certainly couldn't confirm the identity of the little witch.
How does the little witch leave the field?
The interior of a car is a narrow, stuffy space. If you are attacked in a car, you will have no time to dodge or resist. So did Cui Wanwan not tell the whole story?
Li Ming was secretly uneasy.
But he couldn't point it out, because in reality he shouldn't know about Cui Yinyin's existence.
"Li Ming, let's say goodbye here."
Xiao Yiyan suddenly turned to look at Li Ming. He tried to speak in a gentle tone: "I'm going to continue looking for someone, but for you——"
"That should be enough."
Li Ming subconsciously raised his head. His eyes instantly sank into Xiao Yiyan's peaceful eyes. When they first met, Li Ming realized that Xiao Yiyan was an exceptionally careful person.
Yes.
For Li Ming, it was enough.
He was certain that Cui Wanwan was a human, and he could also be certain that Xiao Yiyan, who was currently talking to him, was a human. The only difference was that as humans, they could not be sure of each other's identities.
And Xiao Yiyan could see that Li Ming believed it.
"Okay, goodbye." Li Ming said softly finally.
