A temporary cave was excavated 7 kilometers away from the Thunderpike Safe Zone.
The moon was sparse, and under the dim night, a slender black shadow was creeping cautiously on the ground, slowly approaching the entrance to the illusion under the mechanical compass.
I saw the black shadow like a lizard, its hands and feet moving forward gently alternately, and from time to time it would stick out its tongue, as if to sense information, and probe carefully.
Although the movement was slow, there seemed to be something inside the cave that was attracting the black shadow, causing "it" to move forward firmly toward the hole little by little.
In a cave dug with a sword on the mountainside, a girl placed in a military tent is sleeping soundly.
Outside the tent, the cans Lin An left behind when he left were piled together, and a bonfire generated by low-level props was crackling with spiritual flames, adding a bit of warmth to the cold cave.
Just like a scene in a movie, the black shadow crawling on the mountainside is like a gecko, getting closer and closer.
I don't know why, but the environment that can affect all living things seems to have no effect on the black shadow.
As time went by, as if smelling some alluring scent, the black shadow crawled faster and faster, and finally, after nimbly avoiding the rocks, it burrowed into the cave like a loach.
“Smells so good”
The voice is hoarse and weak.
After the black shadow crawled in, the shadow stood up like a human being, twitching its nose, and obsessively smelled the smell of the cave.
After a while, as if confirming the danger, the short figure could not resist the temptation and walked slowly towards the tent where Mo Ling was.
In the tent, Mo Ling, who was still digesting his strength, was still unconscious. He was completely unaware of the approach of the outsider.
"Captain Lin! Did something happen to that girl Mo Ling!?"
Seeing Lin An's increasingly cold expression, Xiong Hanzi, who was following Lin An with all his might, jumped like a kangaroo and followed Lin An.
There was no way, the agility attributes and psychic abilities were too different, and he simply couldn't fly at super speed like Lin An.
Fly in front and pull out the afterimage.
Lin An's eyes were fixed on the mountain top not far away, and his spiritual energy was burning to the limit.
"Something broke through my defense!"
Without looking back, Lin An quickly answered Xiong Hanzi, then accelerated again and made an explosion.
A slight feeling of uneasiness lingered in my heart.
Sensing the aura that the defense device he had left behind had been breached, Lin An felt shocked and confused.
Although the defensive formation he left to Mo Ling was not very strong, with the blessing of his spiritual energy, the environment arranged by the mechanical compass was enough to make any existence below the third level get lost in it. Even if the third level awakened person came, as long as
It's not a spiritual system, so it won't be possible to get into Mo Ling's body in a short period of time!
For a small mountain peak that was remote and had no mutants around it, Lin An asked himself that this defensive method had gone to the extreme.
There was only one third-level person in the city near the entire safe zone. Lin An asked himself that the opponent's actions were always under his control. Even if the opponent had a one-in-10,000 chance of finding Mo Ling's location, he would not be able to break through the mechanical compass without any hindrance.
But in fact, the crisis did occur.
There was an unknown creature that ignored all his methods and headed straight for Mo Ling!
What is it? A human or a mutant!?
Not daring to bet on whether Mo Ling would wake up in time, after noticing the abnormality, Lin An simply went straight to where Mo Ling was hiding.
Fortunately, the route he took to hunt the mutants was nearby. Especially when he hunted the last one, he originally planned to go back and see the situation of Mo Ling after killing it.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Accelerating, accelerating, and accelerating, looking at the mountain top that was already in front of him, Lin An took out his two swords without hesitation, and flashed like a ghost.
"Boom-! Bang!"
The gravel in the cave shook, and violent explosions came rapidly from far to near.
The black figure squatting on the ground and eating something seemed to be frightened. It hunched over in a daze, like a mouse, constantly raising its head and looking around.
However, before it could react, Lin An, who was flying rapidly, suddenly rushed into the cave like an afterimage.
destroy!
Blood burst out in an instant. Lin An, who could only roughly sense the creature in front of him, had a cold look in his eyes. Without hesitation, he activated the destruction skill and prepared to kill the unknown creature with one sword.
The one who can break through the illusion is either a spiritual type or an unknown mutant!
However, when the sword light lit up, the figure trying to escape screamed like a frightened puppy, and the can in his hand fell to the ground. Under the extremely destructive pressure,
Shivering.
Um!?
This is!?
His breath stagnated, and after Lin An saw the creature's appearance clearly, he lost consciousness for a moment. The sword he was about to strike with was slightly deflected, facing the side of the figure, and slashed towards the nearest gravel.
"boom!!"
Amidst the huge explosion, Lin An's expression turned strange, and he looked at the creature in front of him in disbelief.
A few seconds later, Zhang Tie, who rushed over in a hurry, saw the motionless Lin An at a glance.
"Team Lin!?"
There was a roar, and just when Zhang Tie thought something unexpected had happened, he saw the face of the unknown creature through the hole cut by Lin An.
After a moment, a dazed look appeared on the roaring face.
Not a monster!?
What the fuck
A little girl!?
A minute later, the bonfire was lit again in the cave.
Warm firelight filled the cave, and under the gaze of the two men, a little girl dressed in rags hugged her knees, her teeth chattering.
She "looked" in horror at the direction of Lin An's breathing. Her big eyes were full of dullness and dullness.
"Captain Lin, this girl is blind!?"
Leaning next to the girl, Xiong Hanzi crossed his legs and kept waving his palms in front of the girl's eyes.
There was no reaction at all. The frightened girl just kept trembling, feeling the disturbance in the air in front of her with her skin, and her little head kept shrinking back.
"should be"
After hesitating for a moment, Lin An also looked at the girl's dirty little face in surprise. For a moment, it was difficult to express his feelings in words.
He never expected that the creature that ignored the illusion and broke through his defense was actually a blind little girl.
Although the girl has a faint aura of awakened people, her level will never exceed level 0. It can be said that she is the bottom of the bottom among awakened people, and is not much different from ordinary people. Everything about her body, not to mention the equipment, even the complete
There are no clothes.
Looking at the teeth marks on the ground and the dropped cans, Lin An also realized that the girl must have been attracted by the smell of the food.
Looking at the girl's frightened little face, Lin An couldn't help feeling strange.
How did a blind man survive to this day?
In doubt, he couldn't help but let out a breath, trying to calm the frightened girl, and asked softly:
"You should be able to hear us, right?"
"What's your name?"
After a while, the girl who was being questioned by Lin An was like a frightened little animal, and her body was shaking even more.
She stammered for a long time, and finally turned over the text systematically and managed to make out a few vague syllables:
"Sophia"
"Don't hit Sophie"
"Sofia will lose money if she is hungry"
After saying that, the girl held her hands with a pleading look on her face and knelt forward tremblingly, as if begging Lin An to let her go and not hit her.
"Sophia, please, please, please."
Like a small animal that has been abused by humans, the girl kept shaking forward and begging for mercy, and the wounds on her back were also exposed.
Looking at the several cuts on the girl's back that were covered by stains, Lin An was silent for a moment and sighed.
Complex expression.
He also didn't expect that the person who broke through and approached was some kind of monster or a powerful awakener. But now it seems that it is just a disabled little girl who doesn't know how to survive until now. Looking at the girl's thin body, there must be a shortage of food.
Awesome. This frightened look is probably because he was abused by many survivors after being close to the human living area.
"Captain Lin, how did this kid break through the illusion?"
"This child seems to be very hungry."
Squatting on the ground, Zhang Tie couldn't bear to look at the wounds on the girl's body. He wanted to comfort the girl with his generous palms, but he was afraid that he would scare the girl, so he froze in mid-air for a moment, at a loss.
There was no reply. Lin An looked back at the mechanical compass suspended in mid-air. His eyes moved slightly.
He was not sure how the girl came in. He could only guess whether it was because she had no eyesight that the girl could not be disturbed by illusions, or maybe she had some kind of special talent?
After gently opening a can of luncheon meat, Lin An sighed softly and slowly pushed it in front of the girl:
"Eat it"
"Are you the only one around here?"
Lin An is indeed very curious that the girl can survive until now.
Smelling the aroma of the can, the little girl curled up her hands and sniffed tentatively like a kitten. After confirming that Lin An was really feeding her, she quickly picked up the can from the ground and used
He took out the piece of meat with his hand and ate it hungrily.
With a complex expression on his face, Xiong Hanzi looked at the hungry little girl and felt a sadness in his heart.
After a while, as the two of them watched quietly, Sophia seemed to have thought of something. She swallowed the piece of meat in her mouth dryly and then carefully held the half-full can of meat in her arms.
Seeing that the girl didn't answer or continue eating, Lin An's expression faltered and he asked softly:
"What's wrong? Why don't you eat? Do you want water?"
After the words fell, the girl shrank her head. After a moment of silence, she replied in a low voice and vaguely:
“Reluctant to give up”
"Someone has a teacher"
"Sophia is there, everyone needs Sophie"
Her eyes were lifeless and her face was full of vigilance. But she didn’t know if it was Lin An’s kindness that touched him. Sophia hesitated for a moment and pointed in one direction timidly:
“Everyone is there”
"Sophia wants to take food back."
Um?
Lin An and Zhang Tie looked at each other, and subconsciously, they followed the little girl's slender arms and looked into the distance outside the cave.
At the end of the horizon in the distance is an abandoned garbage dump.
