Returning from the abyss

Chapter 94 Trust
It was already late at night when we arrived at the farm.The occasional zombies and monsters encountered on the road were just a few sporadic ones, and the most special one was just a zombie covered in bones and armor. It was not easy to break the defense with bullets and swords. In the end, Lu Ning managed to put a bomb into its mouth It was resolved.

Maybe it was because it was too smooth, except for Xuan Zitong, the three people were not very sleepy, and they were all in a state of "although the body was tired, but the spirit was very excited".After parking the truck next to a shed with only a shelf left, Lu Ning jumped out of the car first, and soon found a newly piled mound in the weedy wasteland.

Mo Lianren carried the sleepy Xuan Zitong out of the car, while Chu Jianting carried Xuan Zitong's heavy bomb bag again.

"Lu Wenshuo left a mark for us."

Lu Ning pulled the upper layer of the mound away, revealing the stones arranged as arrows below, and a piece of information written in a few strokes with bark.

"There are biting insects, act with caution."

The few people who came together also saw these words. After reading it, Mo Lian immediately reached out to touch her waist. She hadn't used the acid bomb against biting insects yet, so she was about to try it.

"Our first goal is to find people, and the second is to find food storage. Don't even think about killing bugs."

Before she could speak, Lu Ning gave a warning.

"Okay, okay."

"Chu Jianting, give the bomb bag to Xuan Zitong and tell her not to sleep. I need you to be the front guard."

In fact, Xuan Zitong had already woken up when the cold wind blew. At this time, he quickly jumped off Mo Lianren's back and nodded to Lu Ning.

"Light source, weapon, formation—let's go!"

=======================
Lu Ning is not an excellent captain, and it can even be said that she is not suitable for team action in her self-awareness.This time, it was only because the others were more unsuitable than her—Xuan Zitong had difficulty communicating, Mo Lianren was good at executing orders but not good at issuing them, and Chu Jianting's front row protector was excellent but would not take risks... three people The trust that can be delivered is a heavy burden, but Lu Ning has to take it.

But she still doesn't understand such a person.

When a group of giant snakes lurking under the rice field rushed out, Lu Ning only tentatively asked Mo Lianren if he could restrain them for more than ten minutes, and was simply agreed without explaining the reason.

In a dark warehouse where low howls could be heard, Chu Jianting naturally took on the task of baiting the few zombies that were lurking inside and started to morph into bones, and killed them.

Don't ask the reason, don't ask about the safety, just tell me what you need them to do, and you will do it.

Lu Ning was walking in the dark warehouse, where no one came in because of those zombies, and the reserves inside were not touched.In addition to the food that some farmers would hoard daily, there were also some bacon, ham and dried vegetables, which can be said to be extremely rare materials in the cold winter.But her heart is not on these.

She was thinking about the experience of these two days, and even the experience of the previous two test fields.

It stands to reason that even if these people in the distribution center are not as suspicious as she is, they always have a lot of basic precautions against others, but some people they have met so far have easily broken this perception.She doesn't feel that she is much smarter than others, let alone that she shows any leadership aura. The problem probably lies with those people?
"Chu Jianting, can you answer a question for me?"

Although I tend to think for myself, I can only ask for other people's ideas.

At this time, the young swordsman had just found a wine urn, and was about to slap open the mud seal to see the wine inside, when he heard such a sentence, he subconsciously agreed.

"what?"

"Why did you just enter here without even asking? Although those zombies are not strong, they can still threaten your life."

"what?"

Chu Jianting was taken aback by the question, as if he had never considered a question.

"You asked me to be the striker, didn't you? The striker is the first one...isn't it?"

"That's it? Didn't you think about your own safety?"

"Uh... I think I'm pretty good, there won't be any problems..."

Because you think you are great?

Lu Ning felt that there was something wrong with her mind after thinking so much.

"Since you have experienced so many testing grounds, you should know that any situation may lead to death, right? Is it okay to be so arrogant?"

She couldn't help but accentuate her tone a little.

"Lu Ning, I'm afraid you have forgotten that I am a member of the Silver Star Society. I know what is easy to constitute death... I also know how easy it is for people to die."

Chu Jianting smiled faintly, and waved his hand to pat off the mud seal on the wine urn, and a mellow wine fragrance wafted out from it.

"We don't pay attention to the first-order test field at all, because we have already previewed what kind of situations the second and third levels will face. You don't think that the test field here is randomly divided into different levels, right? Now Let’s use an analogy that you can understand is someone who’s just started high school with a prep course at the college level, and there’s absolutely no room for error except for those last few key points.”

"Like now?"

"Yes, I'm [-]% sure that it's safe now, because the rules of the Tier [-] testing field include that you won't encounter strong enemies consecutively within a short period of time."

"Is there such a rule?"

"Of course, it does not apply to tourists in confrontational scenes. Those who swarm up are not within the scope of this rule. But after really entering the state of being out of battle, there will always be a little breathing room..."

Lu Ning's eyes moved slightly, and Chu Jianting couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

"How about it? Do you think it would be better to join an organization? Lone Rangers can't have benefits like this. With these, at least in the first-order scene, you can get through it safely."

"At least? That is to say, continue to go up..."

"Yes, it doesn't apply to the top. Like I said, the first level is just for people to adapt to the rhythm of various testing grounds, and it doesn't give much difficulty at all. From the second and third levels, there is no such rule at all. Follow it, after all, the real 'Abyss' starts from there."

As Chu Jianting said, he took a deep breath, and then put the wine urn aside with some regret.

"It smells good, but it's a pity I can't drink it now..."

"Continue to go up, what exactly... has changed?"

"Soul damage, time-space disorder, causal transformation, cognitive interference. Including but not limited to these things, I can't understand what my predecessors said at all. I only know that there may be death traps at every step, even if you shouldn't When you laugh, laughing can kill you instantly."

Chu Jianting patted Lu Ning on the shoulder and comforted her.

"Don't worry, you can accumulate a little time and then go up. Many people do this."

After speaking, he went to the other side.

What Lu Ning wanted to ask was completely taken astray, and Chu Jianting's last suggestion was of no use to her.Going back this time, she will definitely go to upgrade next time, and she will definitely come into contact with those things faster and faster.

At this moment, she felt a sudden sinking in her body.Turning her head to look, Lu Ning found that Mo Lianren was smiling and pressing a sack full of potatoes on her shoulder.

"It's okay to stand here and be lazy, get to work, Captain!"

"Where did you find it?"

"Under the pile of straw, there are only seven or eight bags, but it's enough food for seven days!"

Lu Ning nodded, checked the weight, took the sack completely, and suddenly asked, "Only potatoes?"

"It's all potatoes."

"Behind the half-empty box you went over there, there are some bacon or something."

Mo Lian immediately showed a look of surprise, turned around and ran over there.

Here, Lu Ning carried the potatoes outside, just in time to see that Xuan Zitong had piled up a mound as ordered, and pulled some withered grass stems and leaves.Lu Ning immediately went over to help divide the dead branches into three piles, one pile was placed on the mound, and the other two piles were placed on the sides.

This is the signal agreed with Lu Wenshuo. If it is night, there will be three piles of fire, one high and two low, and smoke directly during the day.

After waiting for about three to ten minutes, two people walked along the field ridge, and the people behind were pushing a tricycle that is common in farms.

"You have all arrived safely, I am still worried about any accidents on the way." Lu Wenshuo glanced at the few people standing outside, and greeted with a smile.Immediately, he saw Mo Lianren, showing a slightly surprised expression.

"If I remember correctly, your name is Mo Lianren, and you came from the army, right?"

"Yes, I was invited to help out. Long time no see, Brother Lu." Mo Lianren also greeted him.

"Then... it's not too late?" Lu Wenshuo cast an inquiring look at Lu Ning.

"The place where the car is parked is not far from here, but there is a rice field with snakes lurking on the road, we have to detour." Lu Ning pointed in the direction, "The other things I want..."

"Then Miss Mo and Xiao Chu can go. Although Xiao Chu is one of us, he walked with you for two days. I think you can trust him, right?"

"it is good."

"What is it..." Chu Jianting was still at a loss.

"Go in the direction we came from here. About 500 meters to the west, there is a house with stone lions at the door. There are two sacks on the bed in the second wing on the left side of the house. Just bring them over."

"Okay." Chu Jianting agreed in a muffled voice, but Mo Lianren gave Lu Wenshuo a strange look, then asked Lu Ning in a low voice, and agreed only after Lu Ning nodded.Seeing this scene, Lu Wenshuo showed an imperceptible smile, and waited for Lu Ning beside him.

Bypassing the snake area, several people returned to the truck.Xuan Zitong instructed Liao Yimeng to unload three wooden boxes from the car, while Lu Ning took a notebook from Lu Wenshuo.

"Then, the deal we agreed upon is considered complete."

Lu Ning nodded, and was about to greet Xuan Zitong, but was suddenly stopped by Lu Wenshuo's hand.

"Can you wait a moment?"

"What else?"

"Well... Maybe there was something that caused Yinxing to miss you before this, but I think I am willing to make up for that mistake. Lu Ning, I would like to extend an invitation to you on behalf of Yinxing. Now, would you Would you like to be one of us?"

Lu Wenshuo held out his hand to her.
