48 Hours a Day

1398 Chapter 1398 - Borrowing a Cigarette

Shen Xixi, Bunny and Li Bai watched as the few remaining people in the camp were also killed one by one, and then the valley regained its calm.

The moonlight shone between the cliff walls, bright and clear as ever.

Shen Xixi bit her lip, her face now looked very ugly, before Fan Mei Nan asked her if she had considered the consequences when she did this, Shen Xixi thought she had thought about it clearly, but after seeing such a tragic sight one after another she realized that she was actually not as determined as she thought she was.

The first thing you need to know is that you're going to need to be able to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots.

While Shen Xixi was thinking about how to stop the worst from happening, there was an unexpected sound of footsteps coming from behind her.

A figure wearing a black hood walked out from the woods, his body with several injuries, obviously just went through a battle, his footsteps appeared to stagger, one arm has been unable to move, softly hanging on the side of the body, did not take two steps to stop and breathe heavily.

Shen Xixi three people were also wary of the situation, they had just seen the miserable state of those players in the camp, and were worried that the new person who had appeared was also mentally abnormal and possessed extreme aggression.

Li Bai didn't say anything, but had already made his attitude clear with his actions, he blocked his body in front of Shen Xixi and the rabbit, while looking wary of the visitor.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm." The man wearing the hood said as he also took off the hood on his face, revealing a refined looking face underneath.

Shen Xixi was relieved at the sight, "Are you a member of the chase team?"

"No, I'm just like you guys, I'm here specifically to add to the chase for Zhang Heng." The man gave a somewhat tired smile, "Unfortunately I'm not as lucky as you guys, almost all the people I brought with me are dead, and I'm injured enough myself, as expected, researchers aren't fit to get their hands dirty."

The man said and looked at Li Bai, "Hey, kid got a cigarette?"

Li Bai sniffed and pulled out a pack of Hardman from his pocket and somewhat reluctantly tossed it to the man across the street, who received the cigarette and froze, "Aren't you players supposed to be quite rich, why are you still smoking this?"

"He sends home all the money he makes." Bunny rolled her eyes.

"Remarkable!" The man gave a thumbs up, then opened the cigarette box from which to take out a in the mouth, Li Bai was praised or quite happy, also no longer distressed his pack of cigarettes, but also took the initiative to throw a lighter over to the man to light up.

Unfortunately, the latter only took a bite and was choked with a cough, after which he opened his mouth to explain, "Since having a wife, it's been a long time since I've smoked a cigarette, little brother, thank you for the cigarette, as someone who has come over I'll also send you a piece of advice, men can get married later."

The rabbit pouted in discontent at the words. Shen Xixi also frowned, "You know us?"

"I don't know, but I know you." The man said, "Your name is Shen Xixi right, I've heard him talk about you, but unfortunately, I still don't know who his favorite girl is even though I've tried everything to test it out."

Shen Xixi also seemed to have thought of something and revealed a touch of surprise, "You're not Zhang Heng's father, are you? He told me about a researcher father, but it seems like he's been coming from abroad, does that mean you're a player too, but there shouldn't be any foreign players as far as I know."

"I'm not a player, I'm just an ordinary person." Father Zhang said.

"With all due respect, an ordinary person doesn't show up here with a gun." Bunny pointed at Father Zhang's waist.

"Oh, this one is just for self-defense, I actually didn't fire it during the battle earlier, but it looks like it's useless now." Father Zhang said as he tossed the pistol into a pool of water on the side.

"You're not a player? Then why don't you seem surprised at all by what's happening here?" Bunny stared.

"Players aren't the only ones who know supernatural powers exist, I experienced a supernatural event myself eighteen years ago, and I have an extra son." Father Chang.

"Wait, you don't mean to say..."

"That's right, to be honest, our first meeting wasn't a pleasant experience, but the good thing is that we got along afterwards." Father Zhang's eyes flashed with memories and the corners of his mouth lifted lightly.

"Sorry." Shen Xixi bowed her head.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, we've all done what we could, and the rest... we can only leave it to fate." Father Zhang's mood was much more calm than the three had expected.

"Left to our fate, are you saying that you think there is still a chance for things to turn around?"

Before Zhang's father spoke, he saw Li Bai suddenly made a gesture of silence, then Li Bai pointed to a huge piece of ice by the shore that was almost two people high, there was a hidden figure in the ice, but Li Bai was not referring to the unlucky man who was sealed into the ice.

He and the rabbit exchanged a glance, then the two of them tacitly circled left and right towards that ice block, Li Bai also picked up a rifle on the way, but when he saw the person behind the ice block Li Bai dropped his weapon at the first time.

It was a little girl, it looked like she should be a mountain dweller who lived in this mountain before, the four of them didn't know why she was here, and more importantly compared to those players in the camp who had completely lost their minds, her mental state, while also not too good due to the day's ordeal, was clearly not as crazy as the others.

This was nothing short of a miracle!

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

Shen Xixi saw the little girl's clenched left hand, came to the latter's face, squatted down, and said softly, "Can I show it to my sister?"

The little girl gradually loosened her hand at the news, Shen Xixi saw the cut crystal in her palm, she had recognized it as the D-grade item [Immunity Crystal] that had been lost by the previous Fulou, but her heart was suddenly a little stung, she finally understood at this moment whether it was Fan Meinan or Zhang's father why he still hadn't lost faith in Zhang Heng until now.

Just by the fact that Zhang Heng still didn't forget to give this [Immunity Crystal] to the little girl in front of him when he was fleeing, he could know that he didn't intend to destroy the world, even if the whole world chose to be his enemy.

Father Zhang seemed to have seen what Shen Xixi was thinking and shook his head, "I don't know what he plans to do, but I know that he won't surrender to fate so easily, he will fight until the very last moment, and I have always believed in that."
