The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1677: heavy fog

Views:

With Dai Lifen's urging, dinner was over in ten minutes.

Everyone returned to the tent and started to pack. After a while, the tent itself was packed and put on their travel bags.

Looking at the speed of the young people, Dai Lifen nodded in satisfaction.

However, when he saw Kieran, or to be precise, the backpack that was as tall as a person, he still couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

After the dinner started, Dai Lifen made up her mind to pay attention, and for the sake of her own heart, try not to pay attention to Qin Ran.

Can…

That bag is just too big.

Not only was he tall, but he was also extremely wide. Kieran was standing there with his bag on his back, so he looked very conspicuous, and it was hard for people not to notice him.

Dai Lifen, who was standing at the front of the line, saw Qin Ran at a glance.

Looking at Qin Ran who was naturally standing at the end of the line, Dai Lifen completely forgot the draft he had prepared.

Because, whenever he saw Kieran, he would always recall the insulated box in his hand.

It is really fragrant!

Feeling the saliva that began to secrete rapidly again, Dai Lifen quickly restrained his mind, suppressing the hunger from his stomach.

"Set off!"

The belly draft that had been prepared for several days became the most direct two words at this time.

Dai Lifen walked to the campfire, picked up the torch he had prepared earlier, turned around and left.

The young man followed quickly.

Without any means of transportation, everyone walks on foot.

In the dark night, the torches meander in the wild, like snakes walking in the dark.

The line was not long, but it was not short, and there was no sound. All the young people had nervousness and anticipation on their faces. Even when they arrived at the destination of this trip, this emotion did not dissipate. It became more and more obvious. One by one, they prevented themselves from looking at others, adjusted their breathing, and tried their best to calm themselves down so that they could cope with everything that came next.

Only Qin Ran was an exception.

Having experienced too much Qin Ran, there is no fluctuation in his heart at this moment.

Not only does he have time to look at his surroundings, but he is also able to look at the people around him.

At this moment, after two hours of hiking, they have come to a real wilderness, with a mountain in front of them.

It is not high, but in the dark night, it is like a monster crawling on the ground, which makes people feel nervous.

Dai Lifen was standing at the foot of the mountain, talking with a middle-aged man.

The voice was very low, but it was clearly visible to Kieran.

"The alien camp and the weird camp have already started to call, just wait for you to enter first."

"Those guys can't wait."

"Of course, this 'Winter Night War' is extraordinary, and has long gone beyond the definition of previous 'Winter Night Wars'."

"That's why I don't recommend these young people to participate."

"Dai Lifen, there are some things that you and I cannot stop."

The strange middle-aged man was helpless.

Kieran watched as the other party handed a box to Dai Lifen, then stepped aside, and Dai Lifen was walking towards this side with the box.

"Hey guys."

"This is the last thing I can do for you."

After standing still, Dai Lifen opened the box.

A neatly arranged watch appeared in the box.

Dai Lifen picked up one of them and said.

"This is the locator and your last 'hope'. Of course, you can also act as a watch, but the most important thing is here—see this white button?"

"When you encounter an unavoidable crisis, remember to press it!"

"Although this will disqualify you from the 'Winter Night Battle', it can save your lives!"

When speaking, Dai Lifen looked serious.

"Dai Lifen, you want us to admit defeat and surrender?"

In the team, Lucan showed dissatisfaction on his face.

In the education that this young man from the North has received, there is no such thing as admitting defeat or surrendering.

"No!"

"This is not admitting defeat, surrendering!"

"Like I said, it's 'hope'!"

"Your last 'hope'!"

Dai Lifen shook his head, and unconsciously raised his voice. The eyes of this gray-haired but still strong old man swept across the young people present one by one.

His voice continued.

"Too… "

"our."

"I'm not married, I don't have a wife, and I don't have any children. I'm just a herder who is about to retire but has no offspring."

"Old fellows like me abound in the Wranglers."

"I'm lucky because, I didn't have one from the very beginning."

"But some guys are unfortunate. They had it at the beginning, but they lost it in the end! The pain, believe me, can't be imagined if you don't experience it yourself."

"Fortunately, they have you."

"You call them teachers, uncles, uncles, aunts, and so on. They call you differently, but they treat you the same."

"You are their children, their hope."

"It's the last light of their lives."

"You don't want this light to go out and let them fall into darkness, do you?"

"So, before you do anything, think about them."

"They are waiting for you, go home."

"One piece per person, come and get it yourself."

After finishing speaking, Dai Lifen turned his body as calmly as possible, and threw the watch in his hand to Lucan.

Dai Lifen watched every young man who came to get his watch.

He didn't know how many of these young people could come back after this 'Winter Night Battle'.

Although he and a group of old guys tried their best to win this "last hope", but the battle is changing rapidly, who can guarantee that there is really a chance to press the white button

Hope you all come back safe and sound.

Dai Lifen raised his head, looked at the dark night sky, and silently blessed in his heart.

Then…

A shadow fell over the night sky.

Looking at the night sky covered by the huge backpack, Dai Lifen was unconsciously taken aback.

Then, an inexplicable emotion rose from the bottom of my heart.

Can't tell what kind of emotion it is.

What is certain is that there is a little hunger mixed in.

"Boy, does your family run a restaurant?"

Looking at Qin Ran who picked up his watch and looked at him, Dai Lifen said.

"Um."

"Leaf Restaurant."

Qin Ran replied.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely go."

"When the time comes, give me a discount."

Delphine laughed.

"No discount."

Qin Ran replied seriously.

Faced with such seriousness, Dai Lifen thought that Qin Ran was joking with him again, and immediately, the old herdsman felt better.

"Be safe and go."

Dai Lifen pointed to the mountains in the distance.

Qin Ran didn't say anything more, just like other young people, he walked towards the foot of the mountain.

This time, there was no queue.

After everyone got their watches, they started climbing.

The middle-aged man who had talked with Dai Lifen watched the young people off. When the last Kieran also started to climb the mountain, he picked up the communicator and prepared to report the situation.

However, it has not waited for him to connect.

The communicator was snatched by Dai Lifen.

"Bad mood."

"Accompany me for a drink."

Dalyphin said concisely.

"Dalifen, you know, it's useless to do this."

"Even if I don't report, the headquarters will notify the alien camp and the weird camp on time."

The middle-aged man pointed to the communicator in Dai Lifen's hand, and said with a wry smile.

"Then what?"

Dai Lifen rolled his eyes and said.

"Then… "

"I'll drink with you."

The middle-aged man looked at Dai Lifen and sighed.

Then, just like that, he took out two bottles of wine from his carry-on backpack, threw a bottle to Dai Lifen, twisted open a bottle by himself, and poured it into his stomach in big gulps.

In an instant, the middle-aged man became flushed.

His eyes were covered with alcohol, and then he lay down straight on the ground, leaning against a stone, looking at the mountain behind him.

"A minute that can be delayed is a minute."

"Wish ya'll good luck!"

The middle-aged man raised the wine bottle high.

The next moment, the whole person started snoring.

The whole process happened in an instant, and by the time Dai Lifen came back to his senses, the middle-aged man was already drunk and unconscious.

Dai Lifen was stunned.

He couldn't help but raised his foot and kicked the opponent lightly.

"The insincere guy."

As he spoke, Dai Lifen sat beside the middle-aged man, and looked at the not-so-high mountain.

At night, the cold wind of late autumn was blowing.

However, a wisp of mist did not know what appeared on the mountain peak.

Thick, mist that the cold wind can't blow away.

"here we go."

Delifen muttered to himself.

After the snoring beside him paused, the snoring became louder.

When the mist appeared, Kieran frowned.

Not only was the fog appearing abruptly, but also because with the appearance of the fog, his perception was completely obscured.

Not just sight, but also hearing.

In the dense fog, Kieran could only see things within a radius of 2 meters from where he was standing, and only heard his own footsteps.

What's even more peculiar is that the fog has always remained within a radius of 2 meters, moving along with his steps forward and backward.

It was as if there was an invisible force field covering Kieran's body.

It is also as if this mist is alive and has self-awareness.

Qin Ran stopped in his tracks, looked at the rolling mist around him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The next moment, [Gordo's Chain] appeared around him in a mimetic manner, and [Gorot's Chain] meandered towards the mist.

This time, the mist didn't move.

[Chain of Godot]It touched the mist very easily.

Like ordinary mist, under the agitation of [Gorot's Chain], it rolled and dissipated.

It wasn't that the stirred area dissipated, but the entire fog dissipated.

This dense fog, as if it had appeared suddenly, suddenly disappeared at this moment.

The sun just dispersed and shone on Qin Ran's body.

Sunlight? !

Looking at the warm light in his hand, Qin Ran's already squinted eyes began to flash with a strange light.

He was just now in the middle of the night.

He was sure that only about 20 minutes had passed at most, and it was impossible for dawn.

Moreover, not only time has changed, but the surrounding environment has also changed.

He was on a wild hill before.

However, at this time, in front of his eyes was an abandoned street.

Mottled, cracked, moss-covered roads.

Either collapsed or complete buildings are also covered by plants.

The trash can closest to him was already covered with rust, and the color could not be distinguished.

There was no one around.

There was no sound either.

quietly.

Qin Ran lowered his head to inspect the moss covering the street, and after confirming that there were only traces of himself, he carefully moved towards the shadows beside him.

When the shadow covered his figure, Kieran looked around with more detailed eyes.

Similar to the architectural style of Aicheng.

But there are some differences.

The sense of age is very similar.

There are street lights, bus stop signs, trash cans, etc., but there is no car, no matter whether it is a bus or a private car, where Qin Ran can see it.

"Leaving in an orderly manner?"

"Is this another place?"

"still… "

"Another world?"

Qin Ran guessed.

Then, his gaze turned to a building in the distance.

This is a tall building with fifty floors.

Even if he stood in the corner, he could clearly see the tall building.

There is no doubt that it will be an excellent observation point.

What is also certain is that if other people also enter this city, then they will definitely choose there as an observation point.

Of course, the 'peeper' is also indispensable.

And there are bound to be malicious people among them!

You know, it's not just herders who enter here.

And... weird!

Qin Ran didn't want to be the one to be spied on by others or weirdness, so he took the initiative to become a 'peeper'.

For greater safety, Qin Ran did not go directly to the tall building.

Instead, he chose the building near the tall building as the observation point.

That tall building should be an office building, but the location Qin Ran chose is a shopping mall.

The reason why I chose this place, apart from the good observation location, is because this shopping mall is big enough. As long as you find a suitable observation location, even if enough people rush in at once, they will not be discovered.

Kieran believes that there are definitely only a few people who want to be peeped, and most people will become 'peepers'.

After becoming a 'peeper', there are not many positions to choose.

Compared with those buildings that are easy to be found, shopping malls are more suitable.

Along the edge of the wall, Kieran came to a cafe in a corner of the shopping mall. He carefully put down his backpack and shrank behind the bar.

The whole cafe has floor-to-ceiling windows.

This is true both internally and externally.

To put it simply, Qin Ran is at the bar counter, and by slightly adjusting the angle, he can see the outside and the shopping mall at any time, while outsiders want to see Qin Ran, but they have to enter the cafe and get close to the bar counter.

And the moment Qin Ran entered the cafe, a tall and burly figure appeared on the street outside.

Lucan didn't even look around, and just walked towards the tall building with such strides.

His character determines his acting style.

Also, he didn't want to waste time.

He wanted everything to be settled before those troublesome guys came in.

As for the possible danger

Lucan has absolute confidence in his own strength.

Looking at the tall building in front of him, Lucan kept walking and walked straight in.

Then-

boom!

With a muffled sound, Lucan, who had just walked into the tall building, flew out like this, and smashed heavily on a street lamp.

The street lamp was bent with a creak, and Lucan clutched his chest, spurting out a mouthful of blood, but Lucan didn't care about his injury at all, he looked in the direction of the high-rise door with a look of surprise on his face.
