Chapter 1273: Fog Rises

Several days of calm and peace had lowered everyone's vigilance considerably.

Because the abnormality in his heart had not been removed, Did Ning Chen remained twice as vigilant.

"Chen, is there something else?" Gu Yanqi came to Did Ning Chen's side; she had seen Did Ning Chen's vigilance with her own eyes.

She had originally thought it was because Did Ning Chen's vigilance was too high, but after so long, Did Ning Chen's vigilance had not only not decreased, it seemed to have increased, which made Gu Yanqi truly unable to understand.

Did Ning Chen held Gu Yanqi's hand, feeling the warmth beneath his palm; he raised his hand, tidied the stray hair by Gu Yanqi's ear, and then lowered his head.

From other people's eyes, the two looked as if they were kissing, yet only Gu Yanqi herself knew that Did Ning Chen had not touched her at all.

However, this distance, where even breath could strike the face, still made Gu Yanqi blush terribly.

"Yanqi, listen to me, the situation is not quite right; if you have time, go remind everyone, but make sure everyone doesn't make it too obvious; just keep their vigilance in their hearts."

Gu Yanqi's pupils dilated slightly; these past few days she had thought perhaps nothing was wrong, or that those infected had all been killed by them.

After all, the infected they had wiped out were truly very, very many, so many that they could no longer be counted.

Entrusting this task to Gu Yanqi was best; after all, the enemy should not have thought he would let a girl, and moreover the person he liked most, deliver the message.

Gu Yanqi was indeed very capable; she pretended to casually call someone away, or handed them a note, silently reminding everyone of the situation.

Gu Yanqi had not forgotten that Lin Xiaoling had problems; fearing discovery, Gu Yanqi did not pass the message to Hearing Mu Mu or Mu Xinruan.

Lunchtime arrived; today's lunch was barbecue.

Lin Yi took out all the meat from the warehouse and skewered it.

Everyone busied themselves for this meal; the abundance of this meal was as if it were the last one.

Did Ning Chen had no objection to such luxury; after all, he felt that something would likely happen tonight, and tonight should also be their last night in this world.

"You guys have way too much meat," Noah and Hearing Mu Mu came to Did Ning Chen's side and sighed.

Since the apocalypse arrived, meat has been an extremely luxurious thing; now suddenly seeing so much meat, it is impossible not to be surprised.

They originally thought that having meat in their usual meals was already very luxurious; now it seems one can only say there is no luxury, only greater luxury.

Did Ning Chen said nothing; he did not feel anything particular; anyway, he could eat anything.

Among the meat was the rabbit Did Ning Chen and Xiao Han had hunted together before; under freezing, the rabbit meat had not spoiled at all.

Lin Yi took out the rabbit meat, placed it on a rack, and used a small fire to thaw it.

"If only someone in our group had a fire-type ability; then it could be thawed instantly," Lin Yi said somewhat wistfully while turning the rabbit, afraid that once thawed it would be directly roasted.

Now the team has people with all kinds of abilities, but indeed it seems they are lacking a fire-type ability user.

Although the process was very troublesome, eating it was extremely fragrant; at least everyone could truly be said to have wolfed it down.

These past few days everyone had not eaten anything good; now that their taste buds had been awakened, there was a sense of being unable to stop.

Of course, not everyone ate like wolves; actually only Lin Yi, Hearing Mu Mu, and Xu Chenchen ate quite happily; others ate quite politely.

"What's wrong, does it not suit your taste?" Did Ning Chen, who had been distracted by Lin Xiaoling, immediately noticed that Lin Xiaoling was eating very slowly and seemed to find it hard to swallow.

Suddenly cared for by Did Ning Chen, everyone's gazes turned to Lin Xiaoling.

Being watched by so many people, Lin Xiaoling quickly took a bite of meat, her face full of happiness: "No, no, how could it not suit my taste? It's just too delicious; I can't bear to eat it."

This statement actually fit the persona of someone who had not eaten anything good for a long time.

However, Did Ning Chen did not overlook Lin Xiaoling's various micro-expressions at that moment.

That was absolutely not the expression of someone who could not bear to eat.

To verify his guess, Did Ning Chen secretly sprinkled salt all over one barbecue skewer, then pretended to place it casually, putting that skewer on the plate in front of Lin Xiaoling.

As expected, Lin Xiaoling reached out, picked up that salt-covered skewer, and ate it.

Her expression remained calm; she showed no discomfort at all, obviously her sister had not tasted the salt in the skewer.

You must know, the salt Did Ning Chen just put on would make any normal person extremely salty, unless... the other person had no sense of taste.

And Xu Chenchen also had no sense of taste; one could say all the infected had no sense of taste.

Did Ning Chen looked at Lin Xiaoling meaningfully.

He suddenly had a slight guess about Lin Xiaoling's identity.

If it were truly so, then tonight there would likely be something wrong.

No matter what, Did Ning Chen's intuition was truly accurate.

Night fell, but suddenly a thick fog appeared around; almost beyond one meter, nothing could be seen clearly.

This fog was too eerie; it was impossible not to pay attention to it.

Did Ning Chen discovered the abnormality immediately; he instantly notified everyone to stand at their designated posts.

Mu Xinruan and Lin Xiaoling stayed on the RV.

Although the surrounding fog was very thick, the sky overhead could be seen clearly.

Even the bright light of the huge moon at night was not obscured.

One could say they could see themselves and the people around them, but any farther than that, they could not.

This fog was obviously not naturally formed normal fog; after all, normal fog makes everything around completely invisible; it would absolutely not appear so eerie.

"What is this situation?" Gu Yanqi looked at the surroundings with some worry and released her ability toward the surrounding fog.

At that moment, Gu Yanqi suddenly realized her water seemed somewhat useful; at least, when that water touched the fog, that patch of fog would be absorbed into the water.

"Chen, my ability is useful!"

Did Ning Chen naturally saw this as well; he immediately pulled Gu Yanqi to his side.
