“He’s purposely making a mystery out of a simple thing,” Wang Yan whispered. She did not dare to speak loudly, lest Lu Shu hear her. But everyone else heard her. Wang Zhe had left. The rest did not dare to go back by themselves. They could only rely on this mysterious young man for now. They dared to complain and grumble angrily in private, but they did not dare to question him directly.
They were slightly puzzled. Why did Zhang Yanfeng suddenly follow this young man’s lead? Even if the secret practitioner disappeared, he was just a Class D. Did Lu Shu not also run away back then when they encountered the bear?
At least the facilities in the base were rather complete. Heavy snow was falling outside, but it was very warm inside. Everyone could only wait.
Lu Shu went out to patrol everyday, but he never found Wang Zhe. It was as if after that night, even Wang Zhe had vanished into thin air.
On the third day after they reached the base, Zhang Yanfeng woke up and stared in the direction they had come from. For some reason, he was silently expecting something.
Lu Shu said that his team mates would arrive today. Zhang Yanfeng wanted to know whether Lu Shu was boasting. If they really arrived today, he would be able to have a definite idea of Lu Shu’s strength.
Wang Yan and the rest had been stuck here for three days. They had no phone signal, and could not advance. They had found a deck of poker cards here, but more than ten cards were missing. How could they play cards?
They wanted to use pieces of paper to replace the missing cards, but they could not play this way. Everyone would know what cards they were. After one day, they decided to just play. It was better than nothing… but they realized that there was not even a single piece of paper in the entire base!
“Hey, when will we be able to go back?” Someone complained, “I’m going crazy!”
Lu Shu thought about it. “Do you want me to tell you a story?”
“No need, no need…” Someone quickly stopped Lu Shu.
Lu Shu looked at everyone and paused for two seconds. He then took out poker cards from his pocket. “These are the cards you are missing. Do you want to buy them? One for 100 dollars.”
“From Zhang Yanfeng’s distress, +666!”
“From Wang Yan’s distress, +666!”
“From Li Kang’s…”
Everyone was puzzled. Earlier, Lu Shu was the first person to discover this base. But the problem was, why did you not take the entire stack of poker cards away when you discovered them? Why did you have to take out a few cards before putting the rest back?
What were you doing?! Was it even humanly possible to come up with such a crazy method to earn money?!
Everyone haggled with Lu Shu for a long time. Finally, they bought back the remaining cards for 88 dollars per piece. Lu Shu shoved the money in his pocket and said to Zhang Yanfeng, “I’m going on patrol.”
Zhang Yanfeng numbly nodded. He suddenly remembered that after a drink with Wang Zhe, Wang Zhe told him that he had provoked an enemy in the mainland. He was the Venerable, a celebrated figure among the secret practitioners.
Back then, Wang Zhe had taken away one of the Venerable’s magical stones. He used the magical stone as capital and brought in training resources from overseas to reach his current strength. But he did not dare to go back to the mainland.
According to Wang Zhe, the Venerable seemed very amiable, he was a good thief. His harsh words also often pissed people off.
Zhang Yanfeng suddenly thought, why was this young man so similar to the Venerable?
Lu Shu walked off. Zhang Yanfeng tidied up the canned food by the door. This hiking trip was different from those in the past. He had to gather and arrange the resources that they could use.
At that moment, Zhang Yanfeng saw a few black dots approaching them at high speed from far away. At first, Zhang Yanfeng thought that wild animals had come to attack them, but this was not the case.
The black dots were humans. They wore black raincoats and ran towards the base. Zhang Yanfeng had seen these raincoats before. They were part of the standard attire of the Heavenly Network!
Zhang Yanfeng was dumbfounded. Lu Shu’s team mates had arrived on time. Zhang Yanfeng felt that he knew who Lu Shu was. To be honest, he had guessed in the past, but rejected the idea.
The Heavenly Network was of a high standing within the local realm of cultivation. Zhang Yanfeng had never thought that he would be able to travel with experts from the Heavenly Network.
Lu Xiaoyu and the rest ran over. They kicked up the snow with their fast movements. It was like a scene in the movies.
The people in the base also walked out to witness this scene. The moment they stepped out, Lu Xiaoyu and the rest had already reached the door of the base.
Cao Qingci calmly observed her surroundings. Her hand was hidden under her raincoat. If Lu Shu was here, he would be able to see that Nie Ting had a similar habit. The hand hidden in her raincoat was definitely holding a knife.
Cao Qingci had officially taken Nie Ting as her teacher.
Wang Yan suddenly asked, “You are…”
There was the logo of the Heavenly Network on their raincoats, but they were not quite certain.
Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan did not speak. They looked at Lu Xiaoyu. To everyone’s surprise, the youngest member was speaking on behalf of the team. Even Luo Nan did not interrupt her.
Lu Xiaoyu coldly asked, “Auntie, where is Lu Shu?”
“From Wang Yan’s distress, +888!”
Zhang Yanfeng said, “Are you his team mates? He went to the Gate to Hell to check the situation. He should return in two hours.”
Suddenly, Cao Qingci said, “A pack of wolves is approaching.”
Everyone looked around. Wolves? They did not see any.
The mounds around the base had been covered by the heavy snow. Everything was white. After one minute, someone saw a pack of wild wolves in the southeast. They were slowly approaching the base.
Wang Yan and the rest were frightened. They hurriedly ran back into the temporary building. Zhang Yanfeng took out his knife and was ready to fight.
“42 of them,” said Cao Qingci.
The pack of wolves slowly surrounded them. It was as if they were already certain of victory. The people in the temporary building looked out of the window and saw the wolves approach them. But Lu Xiaoyu and the rest had no signs of movement.
The wolves came within ten meters of the base. They looked like they had been frightened and wanted to run away. Suddenly, they silently looked in Lu Xiaoyu’s direction and lay down on their stomachs.
Lu Xiaoyu was very calm. She could control Naughty Pig, Big Cat and Little Fury. These wild wolves, who had not even reached Class D, were nothing to her.
“We’ll be able to use these specimens for quite some time,” said Chen Zuan happily.
