After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 824 As expected, ruthless; they found their lair.
Just past midnight, Jiang Hanying was awakened by the noise from her cheap master.

Noticing the arm so close to her, she was so annoyed that she opened her mouth and bit it without thinking.

Li Chengxiao took a light breath, and upon hearing the change in breathing beside him, he simply turned on the camping light above in the dark.

"Did it wake you up?"

Does this mean that fortunes change?
Jiang Hanying squinted at her and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"It's my turn to go out on night watch."

"Isn't it the same whether we defend or not?"

“I know, but others don’t. Just to put my mind at ease.” Li Chengxiao said, patting the arm wrapped around his waist. “Let go quickly.”

He now understood why Lin Shuangshuang and Ruoshui were so unwilling to share a tent with this person.

They were both sleeping in their own sleeping bags when they first went to sleep, and I have no idea how this person managed to sneak into his sleeping bag.

As for Jiang Hanying's own sleeping bag, she used it as a mat.

Jiang Hanying reluctantly let go of her arms and moved her legs away. Li Chengxiao breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the sleeping bag. He had just picked up his coat and put it on when he turned around and saw that Jiang Hanying was also sitting up wrapped in a sleeping bag.

"You can continue sleeping."

"I'm not sleepy anymore." Jiang Hanying said, reaching for her coat. "I'm going out to keep watch too."

Li Chengxiao: "Are you sure you don't want to just sleep somewhere else?"

"Oh, you saw through me. I'll stop pretending then."

Seeing her single look, Li Chengxiao had no choice but to give in and reached for a spare blanket. "Let's go."

The two emerged from the tent one after the other.

When I looked up, I met the gazes of Big Bear and the doctor.

"Captain, why is your wife up too?"

Jiang Hanying walked up to them and replied in a serious tone, "Come and keep watch."

The expressions on their faces immediately became somewhat subtle.

Seeing this, Li Chengxiao raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, "Go back to your tent and rest quickly."

There are currently three tents in total.

Lin Shuangshuang and Ruoshui shared a hat.

Li Jingmo slept under the same roof as the hummingbird.

In addition, there's the one that Jiang Hanying and Li Chengxiao just vacated.

Now that Jiang Hanying is going to keep watch with him, Li Chengxiao doesn't plan to wake his brother up.

However, this means that if the doctor and the bear want to go back to sleep, it seems a bit cramped.

"You two go to our tent..."

The doctor smiled and shook his head: "No need, Captain. Big Bear farts a lot in his sleep, so I'll just wrap myself in a sleeping bag and sleep by the fire. You and your wife will definitely protect me, right?"

Big Bear: "I love to fart, how come I didn't know?"

"You were asleep, of course you wouldn't know."

Big Bear: "..."

That seems to be true!
Li Chengxiao decided to end this somewhat suggestive topic: "Whatever."

Finally, the two of them returned to the fire, each carrying their sleeping bag and a rolled-up sleeping mat.

He neatly spread out a sheet and lay down inside.

Doctor: "Captain, sister-in-law, goodnight."

Big Bear followed suit, and originally wanted to ask the captain to listen to whether he would fart after falling asleep, but when he saw the beautiful and vibrant face sitting to the side in the firelight, he swallowed his words.

He would never say those things in front of his sister-in-law; it's too indecent!
Jiang Hanying was not sleepy for the time being. She watched as the doctor and the bear lying opposite the fire fell asleep one after another, and she was not sleepy at all.

“I smelled a faint blood on the doctor, not human blood.” Upon hearing this, Li Chengxiao glanced in the direction of the doctor and said in a low voice, “Of the four of them, Hummingbird seems the most shrewd on the surface, but is actually the most naive. Weak Water has strong empathy. Big Bear looks a bit simple-minded, but is actually very meticulous. The doctor looks gentle and harmless, but he is the most thoughtful, partly due to his family background.”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "They must have secretly gone to verify it while they were on night watch, and killed something that had gotten contaminated with it."

"I knew it! They killed them all but didn't bring them back for a nice meal. What a waste!"

The doctor lay motionless on the ground, his eyelids, which were blocked from the light by his arm, twitched suddenly.

Truly ruthless!

Seemingly sensing that the previously dormant, ferocious aura had awakened again, the creatures in the surrounding night became even more quiet and dormant.

However, Jiang Hanying didn't last long. Less than half an hour later, she snuggled in her cheap owner's arms, covered herself with a blanket, and fell asleep again.

Even in its drowsy state, it didn't forget to reach out and pinch its cheap owner's ear, "You don't have to be so obedient and wait until dawn. Learn from me, you have to know how to be lazy!"

Li Chengxiao: "..."

He had a premonition that sooner or later he would be corrupted by Jiang Hanying!

As the journey continued, everyone in the group tacitly understood each other.

During the day, following the signals relayed by the worker ants, they exert all their strength and focus on making their way to their destination.

At night, there is no need to be constantly alert, which gives you enough time to rest and recover the energy you expended during the day.

On the afternoon of the third day after they entered the mountains, as the sun was about to set, they finally heard noises from outside their own group.

Excited shouts, and the howls of beasts driven to the brink of extinction!

Lin Shuangshuang bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly to prevent herself from letting out any overly excited sounds.

After her body was forcibly mutated, she could personally feel how powerful those things' hearing was, much more sensitive than her own now.

She waited until the commotion had subsided before she opened her lips, licked away the blood that had seeped out, and gasped for breath.

She heard a rustling sound beside her and turned to see Li Jingmo approaching with a worried look on her face. She smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm just a little excited."

Li Jingmo squeezed her hand, "Soon!"

"Yeah, almost there!"

Hummingbird and the others noticed Lin Shuangshuang's unusual behavior, but didn't ask any further questions.

The objective has been identified; now it's time to plan the next steps.

"They must have been hunting nearby, and then chased their prey in the opposite direction."

As for why the prey being chased suddenly ran in the opposite direction, the doctor glanced silently in Jiang Hanying's direction after he finished speaking.

He guessed it was most likely because of this person!

"Judging from this, we are still some distance from their lair, but it shouldn't be too far."

"Okay, from now on we need to be more careful. We'll get close before nightfall and sneak in to find the two people. If we can get them out, we'll do so; if not, we'll protect them. The raid will only proceed after we've ensured their safety."

Lin Shuangshuang looked up: "Two?"

Besides her sister, who else is there?

Li Chengxiao met her gaze and said, "You also know the other person, Liu Ruyu."

"is her!"

Lin Shuangshuang was surprised, but refrained from asking any further questions and simply nodded.

"Liu Ruyu might leave us some clues, but she might not have the opportunity to do so. Just keep a close eye out as you get closer. Continue!"

However, we need to be much more cautious on the next stretch of road.

Not only do they have to hide their own movements from being discovered in advance, but they also have to be careful to guard against traps that might be set near their hideout. In addition, they have to look for any remaining clues, which naturally slows them down.

They stopped on a small hill at a relatively high elevation when the last glimmer of light was swallowed by darkness. Beyond that was a sheer cliff, more than five meters wide and bottomless in the dark, with swirling winds blowing up from the bottom of the cliff every now and then, carrying a strong, fishy stench.

It's incredibly refreshing and helps to control your appetite!
"It stinks!" Jiang Hanying pinched her nose and muttered under her breath, "This is such an environmental pollutant, ugh!"

She's still hungry, how can she eat if she smells this!
