In the open field, the night wind seems to be more fierce than during the day. The bonfire piled up by some broken branches and dead leaves flickered and jumped in the wind, and the smoke column dispersed in the air before it rose into the sky.

In addition to this small fire, there is no other light source between heaven and earth - even the dim stars in the past are hidden by thick clouds tonight.

In the dark, six people and a rabbit sat around the fire, and the flickering light of the fire brightened the heavy expression on each face. For a long time, no one spoke.

Six hours have passed since Bai Xiaoke and other three people disappeared.

Although no one said it clearly, everyone knew that there was little hope of saving people alive——

Finally, the rabbit looked around and broke the silence. It opened its mouth and asked a question that it had repeatedly confirmed several times: "... Green meat melon, did you really see nothing strange in the sky?"

"Really, boss," said greenmeat melon, with a mournful face and a depressed and numb tone, "I dare not let go of any trouble! But there is really nothing except those seemingly boundless mountains... Let alone the traces of human activities, not even a worm."

——This afternoon, when the light of [dog Frisbee] was on, and they saw that they had left the dangerous area and stopped, Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered that he could let green meat melon put on his [cloud simulated raincoat] and rise into the sky to check the situation.

Although [cloud imitation raincoat] can only make people rise straight from where they stand, and can't move in the air. But if you can climb high and look far, maybe you can find something... Just this idea soon turned into disappointment.

Although they did not dare to step into that area rashly, they also tried their best: special items that could be released to detect the situation were released; After they came back with nothing, they spent a lot of time catching two bugs, tying them up and throwing them into that area.

In order to find out what happened, Lin Sanjiu called out his diary card in addition to the green meat melon he was watching over the sky. Despite the complaints like "Oh, it's disgusting" that it has always shown. Tie the card with the bug. Let them out together.

When the rope was pulled back, the other end was indeed empty without insects, leaving only a diary card shaking back and forth - Lin Sanjiu suppressed a burst of excitement in his heart and took it down for a look. I found that only one sentence was recorded on the diary card: "5:04pm. The disgusting insect suddenly disappeared."

Call down the green meat melon again and ask. His answer was not much better - "I only saw two small dark figures tumbling and disappearing... How did they disappear? I didn't see them at all. It seemed like a blink of an eye."

This time, everyone was really at a loss.

After a while, someone suddenly sighed a long sigh.

"It's all my fault." The speaker was Lin Sanjiu. She looked down at a small piece of ground in front of her: "if I hadn't brought you here rashly, they wouldn't all... Be missing."

I don't know which of the twins suddenly sniffled loudly.

"You can't blame this, sister Lin!" Back to Chu Yan, she was a little anxious immediately: "we all agree to come here together. Before we get close to this area, you tell us to be on guard... But this fact is too unreasonable for anyone to expect!"

Lin Sanjiu patted her hand gently, grateful for her intention to defend herself, but he didn't speak at all, and didn't seem to agree with her.

There is another thing that has been buried in her heart without saying.

... the place where the light is on is no longer the place where they stopped at the beginning, at least two or three hundred meters away. Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, but she couldn't think of the reason for this situation - and what's more confusing is that the more she thought, the more uncertain she was whether she had remembered wrong.

After all, this neighborhood has been deserted for a long time. There are wild grass ruins everywhere. They all look the same, and there is nothing conspicuous that can be used as a mark. At that time, I was in a hurry. If I remember the wrong place, it is also very possible.

Others seem not to be aware of this, which may be a proof.

"... let's analyze it." Lin San Jiu rubbed his face and said as if with a sigh—— Now, no matter how regretful you are, you can't bring people back. It's better to try harder.

"The insect and the diary card are put out together. The insect is missing and the card is still there... This probably means that only creatures will disappear?" Her eyes swept over the people, with a little vague expectation.

"It should be so right." The rabbit immediately responded, "and only things on the ground will disappear..."

"But strangely, the missing person and the insect are not in the same place, and they are far away from each other..." Xue Yu hesitated and said, "if something attacked them, is it more than one?"

Green meat melon immediately denied her guess: "impossible, let alone several, even if there is only one, I should have found it long ago."

When the discussion came to this point, he soon fell into a dead end - Lin Sanjiu scratched his hair anxiously and rolled away many thoughts from his heart: is it a mutant creature? Degenerate species? Special items? Copy?

As soon as the word "copy" entered her mind, she immediately raised her head and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Here... Shouldn't it be a copy?" Lin Sanjiu said slowly, his heart beating because of this small breakthrough.

"I x, it's possible!" The rabbit suddenly bounced up, "some copies are silent, and you don't know that they have led you in!"

Except for a newly evolved Xue Yu who didn't quite understand the meaning of "copy", everyone else was also excited, swept away the depression just now, and discussed the possibility of copy for a long time.

"If so, they may not die for the time being -" probably because everyone's confusion has been reduced a lot. The rabbit broke the secret worry in his heart: "copy, it can't follow the normal routine! We still have time!"

Lin Sanjiu also felt that the heaviness that had been pressing on the viscera had been reduced a lot. The guilt was light, and even her thoughts were much more active. She immediately answered, "although we don't know what form this copy is, there must be the next step. We must be ready... Well, I have a lot of things from the garden of Eden laboratory. I'll share them tonight to improve our maximum combat power in a short time."

Before escaping from the garden of Eden at that time, she ordered the girls around her to carry a big bag alone - she couldn't find the backpack. Just tie it with a sheet. Make it into a big cloth pocket on the back. After all, there are only 8 things that she can transform, so she only selects the big ones that are difficult to take, and the small items that she recites are all slowly turned into cards on the road.

Lin San wine will probably come in handy. They are all lined up on the ground in the form of cards.

Xue Yu's eyes moved. The first one picked up a card. It was the [bubble blowing girl] who made them suffer at that time.

"This can be used as a guard at night!" She said with a little excitement.

[bubble blowing girl]:

Produced by the Department of machine science and technology of Eden laboratory, it looks like a strong kindergarten girl who is 1.8 meters tall and blows bubbles with a bottle of soapy water in her hand. In the bottle of soapy water. There is a pole energy compression device, and the bubbles blown out from it can realize small explosion. But the most powerful thing is the bubble's "enemy tracking ability" - they track all the way. After confirming the enemy's figure, the bubble will aim at the enemy and explode.

Lin Sanjiu nodded and eliminated the card of the robot - suddenly a plastic doll with bright colors and a stiff smile on his face appeared in the night, and the tall shadow seemed to bring some sense of security to everyone. While Xue Yu was studying how to operate it, they also looked over the remaining cards and divided some as needed.

After having a clue, everyone's mental state is much better. After experimenting for a while, the sister of the twins talked metaphysically: "... Boss, it's still early before dawn. Is it better to have a rest?"

Because no one knows what the next step of the copy is, waiting nervously is not the way. The rabbit thought for a while, and arranged the watchman in turn with great momentum: "I think so, everyone is still recuperating this morning... Green meat melon, you are worth two hours of night, and then change, er, what's your name? Go back to Chuyan, right..."

Seeing that the rabbit arranged things in order, Lin Sanjiu turned out a backpack as a pillow and lay down beside the fire. The rabbit finally asked, "you will count the number every 30 minutes. Don't lose anyone!", Then I found a comfortable place to lie down, and the group became a group.

It really looks like a boss.

In addition to the green meat melon on duty, everyone else also lay on the ground in twos and threes. Although no one fell asleep for a time, they still quickly calmed down, and soon even the sound of each other's breathing was clearly audible.

Staring at the night sky, I don't know how long it has passed. Although Lin Sanjiu has been carrying half of his heart, he actually fell asleep in a daze.

Unexpectedly, this sleep was very smooth - quiet, nothing strange happened.

When she naturally opened her eyes slowly from her dream, the day was not yet bright, the fire had been extinguished, and it was dark everywhere. She could only vaguely see a few shadows not far away, as well as the tall [bubble blowing girl] around her.

It seems that nothing happened... Lin Sanjiu rubbed his eyes, sat up and asked in a low voice: "... Who is on duty now?"

The wind passed by from a distance, and there was only silence in response to her.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly sweated in his palm.

Take a closer look, those shadows seem to be the backpacks we use to sleep against... However, the backpacks are empty, and there are still traces of pressing down.

People, people?

Somehow, the first thing she did was call out [dog Frisbee] - and then she took it into her mouth.

The light did not come on as she expected. (to be continued, please search floating astronomy, the novel is better and updated faster!
