Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 8 Wanderer

"What's wrong?" Zhang Kun asked immediately when he saw him stop.

"There's a smell of blood." Su Ding said in a deep voice.

After hearing his words, even Xiong Qian, who had a bad relationship with him, showed a serious look on her face.

She was also aware of the detection ability that Su Ding had demonstrated before.

Everyone hid in the ruins and did not make any noise for a long time.

It was quiet all around.

"It's no use for us to just keep waiting like this. How about someone go and investigate?" Xiong Qian couldn't help but whisper.

"Why don't you go?" The monkey retorted to her.

A flash of shame and anger passed through Xiong Qian's eyes, but she stopped talking, fearing that everyone would really ask her to investigate.

"What Xiong Qian said is actually not wrong. It's better to investigate. Maybe it's just a false alarm.

"But we need a plan for any investigation. If we delay any longer, it might be dusk. If the monsters appear then, we'll be in danger," Xu Hu said, looking at Zhang Kun.

Hearing his words, Zhang Kun showed hesitation in his eyes and looked at Su Ding again.

But Su Ding's expression did not change.

"Let's take another route. Although it will be an hour later, it will be safer." Zhang Kun took a deep breath and said.

"Ah?" Xiong Qian's expression changed immediately, and she said, "How can this be possible? This route will allow us to return to the camp just before dusk.

If we take another route, we'll have to wait another hour at dusk. What if we encounter a monster then?"

At this point, she gritted her teeth, looked at Su Ding and said, "Besides, if he said there was a smell of blood, does that mean there is a smell of blood? I didn't smell any. Who knows if he is lying. At least we have to confirm that there is really a smell of blood."

As she finished speaking, the expressions of the people in the field varied.

It was indeed too risky to stay in the dusk for another hour because of a guess.

Who knows if monsters will appear around you at that time.

Su Ding looked indifferent, as if Xiong Qian was not talking about him.

Monkey seemed a little angry and glared at Xiong Qian. He had seen Su Ding's abilities during the time he followed him.

Xu Hu and Li Jingan seemed a little hesitant.

"Okay, why don't you go and check it out." The monkey snorted coldly.

Zhang Kun also looked at Xiong Qian and said, "If you are willing to go and investigate, I have no objection."

Hearing their words, Xiong Qian's face suddenly froze.

Then she couldn't help but look at Li Jing'an and said, "Jing'an, why don't you go? You're more light-footed than me, so you're much more suitable."

Hearing her words, Li Jingan frowned and sighed, "Why don't we just listen to Brother Zhang and take a different route? We don't have to worry about so many dangers. Besides, I trust Su Ding's abilities."

"Do you trust Su Ding?" Xiong Qian's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and a wave of anger rose from her heart, "Li Jingan, don't forget which side you are on. You are my friend, not Su Ding's friend, why are you still speaking for Su Ding?

You should know that if my parents hadn't helped you from time to time, you would have died long ago!"

A hint of pain flashed in Li Jingan's eyes.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood.

In fact, they had always felt that Xiong Qian was going too far. It was Li Jingan who was the one testing the dangers of the black crystal pile, while Xiong Qian took all the benefits for herself.

Now that I know the origin of this, I understand why Li Jingan is willing to suffer losses even though she is obviously not a foolish person.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Li Jingan with sympathy.

It's really unfortunate to have such a daughter who is your savior.

"Okay. I'll go." Li Jingan took a deep breath, pursed his lips, walked out of the ruins, and headed forward.

After walking for a while, she smelled a bloody smell, which made her immediately understand that Su Ding was right.

There's a real smell of blood here.

She looked ahead and saw two bodies wearing tattered cotton jackets lying in a pool of blood.

Someone is dead!

Thinking of this, Li Jingan no longer hesitated and turned around and ran back.

"There are two dead people ahead. They were scavengers. And their clothes were stripped to their waists, which means they were killed in daylight." She panted and said to the crowd.

"Did someone really die?" Xiong Qian's face turned pale.

Everyone became a little agitated.

It's only been daylight for a short time now, which means the murderer is likely still nearby.

"Calm down." Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Kun clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

Everyone turned to look at him.

"This road must have been discovered. There's a high probability that some wanderers are hunting scavengers here. Therefore, we must change the route." Zhang Kun looked at everyone and said, "What do you think?"

"No problem." Xu Hu said quickly.

These are wanderers, and I heard they eat people. How could he not be willing to stay here for long?

"If you think there's a problem, you can continue on this path." Zhang Kun glanced at the crowd and said, "Don't hold everyone back later."

After saying that, he looked at Xiong Qian carefully.

This was obviously a warning to her.

Everyone nodded slowly.

"Okay, then follow me." Zhang Kun nodded and said.

Then he turned around and took another route.

The crowd followed him.

This road is obviously more difficult to walk on than the previous one. It is made up of layers of building ruins.

People walked here almost using their hands and feet.

However, everyone also understood that now was not the time to complain, so they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

Before long, Zhang Kun led them to a lake.

"Let's take off our clothes and wade across the lake." Zhang Kun said to everyone.

"This...what is this for? We have women here!" Xiong Qian opened her eyes wide and couldn't help but say.

"These wanderers in the wilderness may have ways of tracking scents when they're hunting down scavengers. So we have to rely on water to block the scent. This lake is no more than two meters deep, which is just right for avoiding their tracking," Zhang Kun said in a deep voice.

Having said that, he looked at Xiong Qian and Li Jingan and said calmly, "Also, since you're out here scavenging, there are no women. I won't treat you as women either."

After saying that, he began to take off his clothes, revealing his strong muscles, and then walked into the water with his clothes on.

Su Ding took a deep breath, then took off his clothes and went into the water with his clothes and Hei Jing on his head.

Since you have chosen to integrate into this world, you have to let go of some things from your previous life.

Shame and the like really can't be eaten.

As everyone went into the water, the men didn't look at the women much.

The cold lake water, the exhaustion from mining all night, and the sense of urgency with the enemy behind them made everyone's nerves tense, leaving no time for thinking about those dirty things.
