Chapter 1673 Camp
At five o'clock the next morning, the restaurant closed on time.
When Qin Ran took back the small blackboard that served as a sign, Li Jiajia, who had studied hard and worked hard all night, immediately yawned and walked upstairs.
Mimosa is still busy in the kitchen.
The fresh-keeping boxes were neatly left behind. Mimosa carefully put a portion of semi-finished food into them and wrapped them in plastic wrap.
Of course, that's not all.
On the kitchen table on one side, processed beef jerky and bags of dehydrated vegetables have already been packed.
According to the time, Mimosa has made various types of foods such as those that can be eaten directly, those that can be heated and eaten, and those that can be stored for a long time.
Qin Ran glanced at the busy mimosa and exited the kitchen without saying a word.
He sat back in his chair and took out the four gold coins he had just received.
After he let go of the restraint on the source of power in his body, the golden light on Jin Du Qian immediately bloomed unbridled, or, to be more precise, was 'sucked' out.
The cheers of 'Gluttony' were still echoing in Qin Ran's ears, and Qin Ran once again saw the chains coming from the void——
Black, small, and still densely bound to his torso and limbs.
The transparent, hair-like chain sank into his head.
No different than before.
Even the looming chains around him are the same.
The same goes for the breaking of chains.
Click!
Click, click, click!
The transparent chains broke first, followed by the black chains. At the moment when the black chains broke and the force of restraint was slightly reduced, Qin Ran saw the opportunity and suddenly reached out to grab the looming chains around him. .
Wow!
The sound of chains.
The black chains that bound Kieran made bursts of noise due to Kieran's movements, but the most intense noise was from the chain that Kieran was holding on to.
The whole chain seemed to be alive, struggling in Kieran's hand, and kept flickering on and off, like a flickering light.
hard.
Ice cold.
Inexplicable disgust.
It poured into Kieran's heart almost instantly, making Kieran subconsciously want to break the chain. However, the strength of this chain was far beyond Kieran's imagination.
Being completely motionless under his power also made Qin Ran feel an extremely strong sense of danger in his heart.
There was no seeming hesitation.
Kieran immediately let go.
Wow!
The chain disappeared with a distinctive sound.
The remaining chains also disappeared, and Kieran's vision returned to the bar of the restaurant.
"That sense of danger...what is it?"
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
He has great faith in his intuition. Not only is he naturally mentally strong, but also because of countless battles, he has developed a sixth sense that ordinary people don't have.
Especially when faced with danger, he is sharper than wild beasts.
Just like just now.
When he wanted to break the chain, a life-and-death crisis appeared in his heart, as if a sharp knife was pressed against his chest.
The sharpness and stinging pain left Qin Ran with a lump in his throat.
However, Qin Ran did not panic.
He has long been accustomed to this kind of situation hovering on the edge of danger.
I am more accustomed to how to deal with such things: calm down!
Sometimes, calmness is more important than strength.
For example: Kieran, who is calm at this moment, knows exactly what he needs.
"Need more Jindu money!"
Qin Ran lowered his head and glanced at the decaying money in his hand.
Not only did he need to observe those special chains more carefully in that situation, but also because he needed to untie more shackles.

[Strength, agility, constitution, and perception break through the four seals, A+→SS-]
…
Feeling his body at this moment, Qin Ran once again used the breathing method of [Morning Knight Body Training Technique] to quickly adapt to it.
After two breaths, Qin Ran opened his eyes.
He did not stand up, but remained in a sitting position, also using the [Morning Knight Exercise] method to sense the changes in his body.
After confirming that he could use his arms and fingers, Kieran began to check the equipment and props he carried with him.
Although he carries it with him at all times, Kieran is used to organizing his equipment and props when doing some important things.
This is not only a process of sorting out equipment and props, but also a process for Kieran to check whether he has omitted anything.
Not just equipment and props.
besides……
So many plans.
The [Sharp Standard Sword] was hung on his waist.
[Akka's Blade (Fragment)] was hidden in Kieran's sleeve because of its length.
Both [Gordo's Chains] are worn on the left hand, together with the [Ring of the Vicious Dog].
Qin Ran kept that [Healing Potion] together with the [Philosopher's Stone (Fragment)].
As for the [Soul Storage Bracelet], after the souls in it were emptied, Qin Ran wore it on his left hand. Although he did not know how to keep souls, it was also a good choice to serve as a wrist guard.
After Kieran confirmed that the cleaning was smooth, the kitchen curtain was lifted.
Mimosa struggled to push a huge backpack out.
This backpack is as tall as one person on the ground and is so wide that two adults need to stretch their arms to hold it. If the kitchen door wasn't big enough, it would be impossible to get out.
Kieran raised his hand, picked up his backpack and placed it outside the bar.
Then, he turned around and looked at the mimosa.
"We are temporarily closed these days."
"I asked the 'vicious dogs' to guard the surrounding area."
"There are also higher-level evil spirits who are always paying attention to the surroundings."
"Whiterick will send Bain and another herder to keep an eye on this place 24 hours a day."
Qin Ran warned.
"Um."
"knew."
Mimosa nodded obediently.
Mimosa knew that she couldn't help, so she would not shout words like let's go together, which would only cause trouble for Kieran. Mimosa knew clearly that it was best to listen to Kieran.
Kieran raised his hand and touched the top of Mimosa's head.
"I am leaving."
After saying that, Qin Ran turned around and left.
When Qin Ran opened the door, a ray of rising sun happened to appear on the horizon.
The morning sun fell on Qin Ran's body, making the black color tinged with gold.
Whiterick, who had been waiting for a long time, first glanced at the huge backpack in surprise, then pointed to the car outside and showed a wry smile.
Obviously, this backpack won't fit in at all.
"Hold on."
Whiterick said, walking aside and talking on the phone.
About ten minutes later, a pickup truck drove over.
Kieran refused Whiterick's invitation to sit in the car. He carried his backpack and sat in the back slot, leaning against the rear window of the car and facing the door of the restaurant.
Amidst the roar of the car motor, the door of the restaurant is getting farther and farther away.
Eventually, it becomes a blur.
Just when he was about to disappear, Qin Ran clearly saw a figure coming out, raising his arm high and waving to him.
That familiar voice came even more with the wind——
"come back earlier!"
"I've prepared a meal waiting for you!"
The corner of Qin Ran's mouth curled up.
He did not answer loudly, but said softly: "Wait for me."
Kieran knew that Mimosa couldn't hear such a whisper.
But he knew that Mimosa would definitely prepare a lot of food and wait for his return.
so……
He has to come back as quickly as possible!
Can't keep the mimosa waiting.
…
The pickup truck stopped and stopped in the city, but after leaving the city, it quickly drove in one direction like a wild horse running wild.
Urbanization has fewer and fewer buildings.
Farmland and forests became the main theme.
When the asphalt became potholed and a camp appeared ahead, the pickup slowed down.
Whiterick opened the door and got out.
"I can only send you here."
"Next, you have to be careful."
"Remember, if it doesn't work, just give up."
Whiterick said after a pause.
"Um."
Qin Ran nodded.
Whiterick looked at Qin Ran in this state and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak and just said: "Follow me."
With that said, Whiterick took the lead in thinking about the temporary camp.
The herder guarding outside the camp was obviously familiar with Whiterick. Not only did the two hug each other when they met, but the other party was also very enthusiastic towards Kieran.
"I'm Dalifen, this guy's old friend."
"You need to follow me for the rest of the trip."
Dailifen, who is tall, muscular and gray-haired, said with a smile.
"Luo Yan."
Facing the enthusiastic opponent, Qin Ran gave out his pseudonym in response.
"Nice name."
"I hope this name will shine in the 'Winter Night War'."
"Okay, my old friend, although this is just a transit station, you can't enter - these young eagles can only truly spread their wings and fly if you let them go!"
After Dai Lifen smiled at Qin Ran again, he motioned to Whiterick.
"Be careful."
After Whiterick warned Qin Ran again, he turned and left.
Qin Ran glanced at Kai Kai who was going away, and then his eyes fell on Dai Lifen in front of him.
"Take it easy."
"It's not yet time."
"Do you need me to show you around the camp?"
Dailifen smiled.
"No."
"I can do it myself."
"But, is there any place here that I shouldn't set foot on?"
Qin Ran shook his head and rejected the other party's kindness.
The camp in front of him was only the size of a football field. Although it was blocked by many tents, Kieran still saw everything at a glance.
There is absolutely no need for anyone to guide or accept.
Of course, you still need to ask questions about some concerns.
It wasn't that Kieran was worried about causing trouble.
Rather, they were worried about the impact that unnecessary trouble would have on the ‘Winter Night War’.
"No!"
"The people here are all you young people who participated in the 'Winter Night War'."
"If you have any friends here, you can go find them."
"If not, you can find an unoccupied tent or set up a tent to rest."
"When the time comes, I will notify everyone."
Dalyfen replied.
Qin Ran nodded and expressed understanding, then walked to a corner of the camp carrying a huge backpack.
He has no friends here.
As for temporarily winning over a group of people?
It was hard to believe that Kieran, a stranger, would not do such a thing.
Pulling out the rainproof cloth covering the backpack, one end was still connected to the backpack and the other was hung on the fence on one side. Then, Kieran sat directly underneath.
An extremely simple 'tent'.
Mimosa had suggested bringing a real tent, but Kieran insisted that this would be enough.
With that space, it would be more practical to pack more food.
The sun gradually rose. When it reached the center of the sky, Dailifen stood at the entrance of the camp and shouted: "It's time to eat!"
Immediately, the camp that had been quiet suddenly became noisy.
One by one, the herder representatives emerged from their respective tents.
There are men and women.
Tall, short, fat and thin are different.
The costumes are also very strange.
Some were like Kieran, wearing casual clothes.
Some have robes, fancy clothes, and leather armor.
Another one is even more open-minded, wearing a bear skin, and the huge bear head is put on his head like a hat, which is very eye-catching.
The special outfit made Kieran take another look at the other person.
The other party was completely unaware.
In other words, this person's eyes have already been set on the food.
Dailifen prepared enough food.
A basin like a bathtub contained half-fried and half-boiled vegetables and potatoes, and another equally large basin contained rice.
It’s not the food that’s the draw, though.
Instead, there were ten translucent lunch boxes placed on the trolley behind Dai Lifen.
These lunch boxes are huge, about the size of a soup basin, and are divided into ten compartments. Each compartment contains different foods, ranging from fried chicken legs and boiled beef to shrimps and crabs.
The colors are bright and very attractive.
Moreover, with the two large basins in front, these well-made foods become even more tempting.
"Eating is still the same as before."
"Let me explain it to the newcomers."
"Eat whatever you want from these two big basins."
"There are ten lunch boxes behind. You need to figure it out on your own."
"You might as well buy everyone off with money."
"It's better to knock everyone down."
"Or you can just grab a copy during the chaos."
"As long as you can do it, the food in these lunch boxes is yours, but no lives are allowed, otherwise you will not be able to eat, and you will lose the qualifications for the 'Winter Night War'."
"Now……"
"start!"
Start with a sound.
All the herder representatives who were already ready to move rushed forward.
Only Qin Ran sat there motionless.
Kieran was never picky about food.
But if there was food made from mimosas, why would he eat food made by others?
Moreover, it is as well-made as the ordinary level.
Compared to mimosa?
Do not make jokes.
There's no comparison at all.
Of course, Kieran also guessed what the other party wanted to do, which was just to give the herder representatives participating in the 'Winter Night War' a chance to get to know each other.
Qin Ran, who was well aware of this, watched the fighting representatives of the herders with great interest.
Among them, the man wearing a bearskin stands out the most.
As soon as he raised his hand, he overturned several rivals who were fighting for him. He let the attacks from the people around him fall on him. He raised his hand and grabbed a lunch box without caring.
"That's Lucan, the representative of the northern forest. He's very powerful and very edible. He almost eats three portions of others."
"Of course, the other young people are also very good."
“They are all very delicious!”
"are you not hungry?"
"If you don't hurry up, there won't be any delicious food."
Dai Lifen walked up to Kieran and emphasized the pronunciation of 'edible'.
"tasty?"
Kieran smiled.
He reached into his backpack and took out a mimosa cooler.
Then, he slowly opened the lid of the box.
A strong fragrance instantly hit all directions.
Suddenly, the surroundings became silent, and everyone looked here.
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Ran picked up the chopsticks unhurriedly.
