48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1397: Borrowing A Cigarette

Shen Xixi, rabbit, and Li Bai watched as the rest of the people in the camp were killed one by one. Then, the valley regained its peace.

The moonlight shone on the cliffs, and it was as bright as ever.

Shen xixi bit her lip. Her expression was very ugly now. Previously, when Fan Meinan asked her if she had considered the consequences of doing this, Shen Xixi thought that she had already thought about it very clearly, however, after seeing such a tragic scene, she realized that her heart was not as firm as she had imagined.

Moreover, she knew very well that this was only the beginning. More victims would appear in the future. Perhaps the entire world would be pushed to the brink of destruction. If she was given another chance.., shen Xixi did not know if she would make the same choice.

Just as Shen Xixi was thinking about how to prevent the worst from happening, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her.

A figure wearing a black mask walked out from the forest. He had several wounds on his body. It was obvious that he had just experienced a great battle. His footsteps were a little unsteady, and one of his arms could no longer move, he hung limply on one side of his body. He had not taken two steps before he stopped and panted heavily.

Shen Xixi and the other two became vigilant when they saw the situation. They had just seen the miserable state of the players in the camp. They were worried that the new person who had just appeared was not in his right mind and was extremely aggressive.

Li Bai did not speak, but he had already made his stance clear with his actions. He blocked his body in front of Shen Xixi and rabbit, and at the same time, he looked at the newcomer with vigilance.

“Don’t worry, I mean no harm,”said the man with the hood. As he spoke, he removed the hood from his face, revealing a gentle-looking face.

Shen xixi heaved a sigh of relief. “Are you from the tracking team?”

“No, I’m the same as you. I’m here to make things difficult for the people chasing Zhang Heng,”the man said with a tired smile, “Unfortunately, I’m not as lucky as you guys. Most of my men are dead, and I’m pretty badly injured myself. As expected, it’s not appropriate for researchers to get physical.”

The man then turned to Li Bai. “Hey, Kid, do you have a cigarette?”

Li Bai took out a bag of hardgate from his pocket and reluctantly tossed it to the man opposite him. The Man took the cigarette and was stunned. “Aren’t you players supposed to be rich? Why are you still smoking this?”

“He sent all the money he earned home.”Rabbit rolled his eyes.

“Amazing!”The man gave him a thumbs up. Then, he opened the cigarette box and took a cigarette from it and put it in his mouth. Li Bai was quite happy to be praised by others, and he no longer felt sorry for his pack of cigarettes, he even took the initiative to throw a lighter over to light the man’s cigarette.

Unfortunately, the man only took one puff before he choked and coughed. Then, he opened his mouth to explain, “Ever since I had a wife, I haven’t smoked for a long time. Little brother, thank you for your cigarette. As someone who has been through this, let me give you a piece of advice. If a man can get married later, he should get married later.”

Hearing this, rabbit pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. Shen Xixi also frowned. “Do You Know Us?”

“No, but I know you,”the man said. “Your name is Shen Xixi, right? I’ve heard about you from him. Unfortunately, although I’ve tried my best to probe, I still don’t know who his favorite girl is.”

Shen Xixi also seemed to have thought of something and revealed a surprised expression, “You can’t be Zhang Heng’s father, right? He told me about the father of a researcher, but he seems to have been abroad all this time. Could it be that you’re also a player? But according to what I know, there shouldn’t be any foreign players.”

“I’m not a player, just an ordinary person,”father Zhang said.

“With all due respect, an ordinary person wouldn’t appear here with a gun.”Rabbit pointed at Father Zhang’s waist.

“Oh, this gun is only for self-defense. In fact, I didn’t use it during the battle just now. It looks like it’s useless now,”father Zhang said as he threw the pistol into the pond beside him.

“You’re not a player? Then why don’t you look surprised by what happened here?”Rabbit widened his eyes.

“Not only players know about the existence of supernatural powers. Eighteen years ago, I personally experienced a supernatural event and even had a son,”father Zhang said.

“Wait, are you saying...”

“That’s right. To be honest, our first meeting wasn’t pleasant, but fortunately, we got along very well after that.”Father Zhang’s eyes flashed with reminiscence, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“I’m sorry,”Shen Xixi lowered her head and said.

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. We’ve already done what we can do. The rest... can only be left to fate.”Father Zhang’s mood was much calmer than the three of them had imagined.

“Left to fate? Do you think there’s still a chance?”

Father Zhang had yet to speak when he saw Li Bai suddenly make a silent gesture. Then, Li Bai pointed at a huge ice cube that was about the height of two people on the shore. There was a vague figure in the ice cube, however, Li Bai was not referring to the unlucky person who was sealed in the Ice Cube.

He exchanged a look with rabbit. Then, the two of them tacitly circled around the ice cube. Li Bai even picked up a rifle on the road, however, after seeing the person behind the Ice Cube, Li Bai immediately put down the weapon in his hand.

It was a little girl. It seemed that she was a villager who had lived in this mountain before. The four of them did not know why she would appear here, more importantly, compared to the players who had completely lost their minds in the camp, although her mental state was not very good because of the day’s torment, she was clearly not as crazy as the others.

This was simply a miracle!

When Li Bai brought her out, she did not resist.

Shen Xixi saw the little girl’s tightly clenched left hand. She came to the front of the latter, squatted down, and said gently, “Can you let big sister take a look?”

The little girl gradually loosened her grip. Shen Xixi saw the piece of crystal in her palm. She had already recognized it as the d-class Item [ immune crystal ] that had been lost by Fu Lou earlier. However, her heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, at this moment, she finally understood why both fan Meinan and father Zhang had not lost their confidence in Zhang Heng until now.

Just from the fact that Zhang Heng had not forgotten to give the [ immunity crystal ] to the little girl before him while he was on the run, one could tell that he did not intend to destroy this world, even if the entire world chose to be his enemy.

Father Zhang seemed to have read Shen Xixi’s mind as well, and he shook his head, “I don’t know what he intends to do, but I know that he will not surrender to fate so easily. He will fight until the very end, and I have always believed that.”
