Chapter 1675 Heavy Fog

With Dailifen's urging, dinner was over within ten minutes.

Everyone returned to the tent and began to pack it up. After a while, the tent itself was packed and placed on their respective travel bags.

Looking at the speed of the young people, Dailifen nodded with satisfaction.

However, when he saw Kieran, or to be more precise, the backpack that was as tall as a person, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

After dinner started, Dai Lifen made up his mind to try not to pay attention to Kieran for the sake of his own heart.

Can……

That bag is really too big.

Not only was it tall, but it was also extremely wide. Kieran stood there with his bag on his back, so he stood out and it was difficult for others to miss him.

Dai Lifen, who was standing at the front of the team, even caught sight of Kieran.

Seeing Qin Ran standing at the end of the team naturally, Dai Lifen completely forgot about the draft he had prepared.

Because, as soon as he saw Kieran, he always recalled the thermos box in Kieran's hand.

It smells really good!

Feeling the rapid secretion of saliva starting again, Dailifen quickly concentrated his mind and suppressed the hunger coming from his stomach.

"Set off!"

The draft that I had prepared for several days turned into the most direct two words at this time.

Dailifen walked to the bonfire, picked up the torch that had been prepared long ago, turned around and left.

The young man followed quickly.

There was no transportation, everyone walked on foot.

In the dark night, torches snaked in the wild, like snakes moving forward in the darkness.

The queue was not long, but not short either. No sound was made. All the young people had nervousness and anticipation on their faces. Even when they arrived at the destination of the trip, this emotion did not dissipate. On the contrary, It was becoming more and more obvious. One by one, they stopped themselves from looking at others, adjusted their breathing, and tried to calm themselves down so that they could cope with what was to come.

The only exception was Qin Ran.

Qin Ran had experienced too much, and at this moment, his heart had no fluctuations.

Not only did he have time to look at his surroundings, he was also able to look at the people around him.

At this moment, after two hours of hiking, they had arrived in a true wilderness, with a mountain in front of them.

It's not high, but in the dark night it looks like a monster crawling on the ground, which makes people feel tight.

Dailifen was standing at the foot of the mountain, talking to a middle-aged man.

The voice was very low, but to Kieran, it was clearly audible.

"The alien camp and the weird camp have already started gathering. We are waiting for you to enter first."

“Those guys just can’t wait.”

“Of course, this ‘Winter Night War’ is extraordinary and has long exceeded the definition of previous ‘Winter Night War’.”

"That's why I don't recommend these young people to participate."

"Dalifen, there are some things that you and I can't stop."

The strange middle-aged man looked helpless.

Qin Ran watched the other party hand a box to Dai Lifen and then stepped aside, while Dai Lifen was walking towards here holding the box.

"Hey guys."

"This is the last thing I can do for you."

After Dalefen stood still, he opened the box.

Neatly arranged watches appeared in the box.

Dailifen picked up one of the pieces and said.

"This is the locator and your last 'hope'. Of course, you can also use it as a watch, but the most important thing is here - do you see this white button?"

"When you encounter an unavoidable crisis, remember to press it!"

"Although this will disqualify you from the 'Winter Night Battle', it can save your lives!"

When speaking, Dailifen's expression was serious.

"Dalyfen, are you asking us to admit defeat and surrender?"

In the team, dissatisfaction appeared on Lucan's face.

There was no such thing as surrender or surrender in the education that this young man from the North received.

"No!"

"This is not about admitting defeat or surrendering!"

“Like I said, it’s ‘hope’!”

"Your last 'hope'!"

Dai Lifen shook his head, his voice rising unconsciously. The gray-haired but still strong old man's eyes swept over the young people present one by one.

His voice continued.

"Too……"

"our."

"I am not married, I have no wife, and I have no children. I am just a herder who is about to retire but has no descendants."

"Old guys like me are everywhere among the ranchers."

"I'm lucky because, from the very beginning, I didn't have one."

"But some guys are unfortunate. They had it at the beginning, but lost it in the end! That kind of pain, believe me, is absolutely unimaginable unless you experience it yourself."

"Thankfully, they have you."

"You call them teachers, uncles, uncles, aunts, etc., the names are different, but they treat you the same."

"You are their children, their hope."

"It's the last light in their lives."

"You don't want this light to go out and let them fall into darkness, right?"

“So, before you do anything, think about them.”

"They are waiting for you to go home."

"One piece for each person, come and get it yourself."

After saying that, Dailifen turned his body as calmly as possible and threw the watch in his hand to Lucan.

Delifan watched each young man come to get his watch.

He didn't know how many of these young people would be able to come back after this 'Winter Night War'.

Although he and a group of old guys tried their best to win this 'last hope', the battle was changing rapidly. Who could guarantee that there would really be a chance to press the white button?

Hope you all return safely.

Dailifen raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, blessing silently in his heart.

Then……

A shadow covered the night sky.

Dailifen looked at the night sky obscured by the huge backpack and was stunned unconsciously.

Then, an inexplicable emotion arose in my heart.

I can’t tell what kind of emotion it is.

What is certain is that it is mixed with a little hunger.

"Boy, does your family own a restaurant?"

Looking at Qin Ran who picked up the watch and looked at it, Dai Lifen said.

"Um."

"Ye's Restaurant."

Kieran replied.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go."

"When the time comes, give me a discount."

Dailifen smiled.

"No discount."

Kieran answered seriously.

Faced with such seriousness, Dai Lifen thought that Qin Ran was joking with him again, and immediately, the old herder felt better.

"Be safe and go."

Dailifen pointed to the mountains in the distance.

Qin Ran didn't say anything more, just like other young people, he walked towards the foot of the mountain.

This time, there was no queue.

After everyone received their watches, they started climbing.

The middle-aged man who had talked with Dai Lifen watched the young people. When Qin Ran finally started climbing, he picked up the communicator and prepared to report the situation.

However, I haven't waited for him to get through yet.

The communicator was snatched away by Dai Lifen.

"Bad mood."

"Drink with me."

Dailifen said concisely and concisely.

"Dalyfen, you know it's useless."

"Even if I don't report it, the headquarters will notify the alien camp and the weird camp on time."

The middle-aged man pointed at the communicator in Dai Lifen's hand and said with a wry smile.

"Then what?"

Dailifen rolled his eyes.

"Then……"

"I'll drink with you."

The middle-aged man looked at Dai Lifen and sighed.

Then, he took out two bottles of wine from his backpack, threw one to Dailifen, opened one himself, and poured it into his stomach in large gulps.

In an instant, the middle-aged man's face turned red.

His eyes were covered with alcohol, and then he lay straight down on the ground, leaning on a stone and looking at the mountain behind him.

"It's a minute if I can delay it for a minute."

"Wish ya'll good luck!"

The middle-aged man raised the bottle high.

The next moment, everyone was snoring.

The whole process happened in an instant. By the time Dailifen came to his senses, the middle-aged man was already drunk and unconscious.

Dailifen was stunned.

He couldn't help but raise his foot and lightly kicked the opponent.

"A guy who doesn't mean what he says."

Dailifen said and sat down next to the middle-aged man, looking at the mountain that was not high.

At night, the cold wind of late autumn blew.

However, a wisp of mist appeared on the mountain peak.

Thick mist that the cold wind cannot blow away.

"here we go."

Dailifen muttered to himself.

After a pause, the snoring next to him became louder.

…

When the fog appeared, Qin Ran frowned.

Not only did the fog appear very suddenly, but also because with the appearance of the fog, his perception was completely obscured.

Not just sight, but hearing.

In the thick fog, the only things Kieran could see were within a 2-meter radius of where he was standing, and the only sounds he could hear were his own footsteps.

What's even more peculiar is that the fog always remains within a radius of 2 meters, moving together with his steps forward and backward.

It was as if there was an invisible force field covering Kieran.

It was as if the mist had come alive and had its own consciousness.

Qin Ran stopped and looked at the rolling fog around him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The next moment, [Godot's Chain] appeared around him in a mimetic form, and [Godot's Chain] snaked towards the mist.

This time, the mist didn't move.

[Gordo's Chain] touched the mist easily.

Just like ordinary mist, it rolls and dissipates under the agitation of [Gordo's Chain].

It's not that the stirred area has dissipated, but the entire fog has dissipated.

This thick fog, as if it suddenly appeared, suddenly disappeared at this moment.

The sunlight just dispersed and shone on Kieran's body.

Sunlight? !

Looking at the warm brightness in his hand, Kieran's already narrowed eyes began to sparkle with a strange light.

He was late at night just now.

He determined that only about 20 minutes had passed at most, and there was no way it would be dawn.

Moreover, not only has the time changed, but the surrounding environment has also changed.

He was on a wild hill before.

However, at this time, he saw an abandoned street in front of him.

Patchy, cracked, mossy roads.

Buildings, either collapsed or intact, are also shrouded in vegetation.

The trash can closest to him was already rusty and the color was indistinguishable.

There was no one around.

There was no sound either.

Quietly.

Qin Ran lowered his head and inspected the moss covering the street. After confirming that there were only traces of himself, he carefully moved towards the shadows on the side.

When the shadow covered his figure, Qin Ran looked around with a more detailed look.

It is similar to the architectural style of Ai City.

But there are some slight differences.

The sense of era is very similar.

There were street lights, bus stop signs, trash cans, etc., but where Kieran's sight touched, there was no car, neither a bus nor a private car.

"Leave in an orderly manner?"

"Is this another place?"

"still……"

"Another world?"

Qin Ran guessed.

Then, he looked at a building in the distance.

This is a tall building with a height of fifty stories.

Even if he stood in the corner, he could clearly see the tall building.

There is no doubt that it will be an excellent observation point.

What is also certain is that if other people enter this city, they will definitely choose that place as an observation point.

Of course, there are also ‘peepers’.

And there are bound to be people with bad intentions among them!

You know, it’s not just the herders who enter here.

And...weird!

Kieran didn't want to be someone who was spied on by others or weird people, so he took the initiative to become a 'peeper'.

For greater safety, Kieran did not go directly to the tall building.

Instead, he chose a building near the tall building as an observation point.

That high-rise building should be an office building, and the location Qin Ran chose was a shopping mall.

The reason why I chose this place, apart from the good observation location, is because this mall is large enough. As long as I find a suitable observation location, even if enough people pour in at once, I will not be discovered.

Kieran believes that there are definitely only a few people who want to be spied on, and most people will become 'peepers'.

After becoming a 'Peeper', there are not many positions to choose from.

Compared to those few buildings that are easily discovered, a shopping mall is more suitable.

Along the edge of the wall, Kieran came to a cafe in a corner of the mall. He carefully put down his backpack and huddled behind the bar.

The entire cafe is floor-to-ceiling.

This is true both internally and externally.

To put it simply, from Kieran's position at the bar, he could see the outside and the shopping mall at any time by slightly adjusting the angle. However, if people outside wanted to see Kieran, they had to enter the cafe and get close to the bar.

The next moment Kieran entered the cafe, a tall and burly figure appeared on the street outside.

Lucan didn't even look around, and just strode towards the tall building.

His personality determines his behavior.

Besides, he didn't want to waste time.

He hopes to get everything done before those troublesome guys come in.

As for possible dangers?

Lucan has absolute confidence in his own strength.

Looking at the tall building in front of him, Lucan walked straight in without stopping.

Then--

boom!

There was a muffled sound, and Lucan, who had just entered the tall building, flew out and hit a street lamp heavily.

The street lamp was bent with a crunch. Lucan held his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, Lucan didn't care about his injuries at all. He looked in the direction of the door of the high-rise building with a confused look on his face.
