Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 232 "Sudden Sand Storm"

hum-

The light of the lantern once again emerged from the sunken pit in the gray desert.

Two figures appeared in the light, of course, they were German and Menqi.

Menqi let go of the hand holding the messenger kid, stood up, greeted Biscuit and Xiaodi first, then raised his head and looked around curiously.

Whether it is the "maze" or the "wilderness", it is her first time here, so it is normal for her to be curious.

Germain retrieved the teleportation lantern, and saw Biscuit coming over to ask: "This is another two teleportations, what did you get this time?"

"Two 'negative traits' and no 'disease.'" German said truthfully, "One is 'fear of death' and the other is 'perfectionism.'"

“Perfectionism is okay, it adds 5 points of stress every time I make a mistake.”

"However, I have the 'champion's halo', which can reduce 7 points of stress every time, and 'perfectionism' has no negative impact on me."

“Deathophobia is a little more troublesome.”

"When I'm seriously injured, or in game terms, my 'health is below 50%,' all stress-increasing events will have a greater impact on me, i.e. the amount of stress I experience will increase by a percentage."

Biscuit couldn't help biting his fingers nervously.

"This is troublesome. Fortunately, the fear of death is conditional."

"You have to be careful. If you are seriously injured, don't think too much and use "Archangel's Breath" directly."

Now in this team, only Germain and Menqi can use "Breath of the Archangel". The others have already used it once and cannot use it again.

German shook his head: "I'm not a piece of porcelain that will fall over and break if touched."

"Of course you are not. However, your importance is self-evident." Biscuit said seriously, "To be honest, any of us can die, except you."

"Once you die, the chain reaction you cause will likely lead to our annihilation. As long as you are still alive, you may be able to bring back survivors."

"I see." Germann did not comment. He turned around and looked around the gray-white pit and asked, "Where's Jin?"

"He is outside, conducting reconnaissance within a radius of 300 meters centered on the pit. He won't go far." Bisci replied.

"Then let's go up too," German suggested.

Biscuit, Xiaodi and Menqi all nodded, and everyone climbed up along the gray-white stone wall of the pit.

The rock formation is quite smooth. If it is an ordinary person, it may be difficult to climb it with bare hands, but for those who have the ability of Nen, it is as easy as walking on flat ground.

The four people left the gray-white pit, but they still did not escape from the gray-white world. There was gray-white dust floating everywhere. The scene was like a nuclear winter.

Germann reached up and pulled up the black mask around his neck, covering the lower half of his face.

He turned around and wanted to remind others, but saw that they had taken out their masks and put them on before him.

Biscuit complained, his voice muffled under the mask: "Will this gray sand scratch my face and hurt my skin?"

Men Qi was also complaining, but her focus was on something else: "In this barren place, it seems like there is definitely no food to cook with, unless you want to eat dirt."

"Do you need me to use the 'bulgy fish' to suck up the dust and clear the way for us?" Xiaodi raised his hands and made a gesture of empty handshake.

German shook his head. "Your 'Puffy Eye Fish' is 'first in, last out'. It's better not to put unimportant things in there, so as not to affect the speed of taking out the suitcase."

The "briefcase" here refers to a silver briefcase that has been replenished with a new batch of "resource cards". The cards can be used as long as they are unsealed.

"Okay." Xiaodi had no intention of refutation.

Woo, woo, woo - at this moment, a howling wind like ghosts and wolves blew towards them, blowing up more gray and white sand, making the entire wilderness look even worse.

The stone mountains, stone pillars and stone bridges that protruded from the ground were all grayish white. The sand and dust roared and crashed into them like an unpredictable giant beast, smashing them to pieces.

bang bang bang-

Wuwuwu——

The wind and dust became more and more violent, and everyone had to unseal the cards and put on goggles, so that they could barely see other people's faces clearly.

They put on their coats and hoods - Germain put away his cocked hat and zipped it up, looking like survivors walking for their lives in a blizzard.

Amid the whistling sound that gradually turned into a loud rumbling noise, they had to shout at the top of their lungs if they wanted to communicate, but even then, the other party might not be able to hear them clearly.

Fortunately, they were prepared for this situation. This coat was designed by Duen, Lister and others, and was equipped with a communication device.

They just need to press a button on their collar to talk to everyone through the built-in microphone, and everyone is on the same channel.

However, in the current situation, even if you use communication devices to make calls, there will still be noise caused by the storm, and the rustling sound will affect the quality of the call.

In the end, German used the simplest method - he gestured for others to follow him, because his "circle" had sensed Jin's position, and it would be better for them to reunite first.

The other three, even the slowest one, Xiaodi, understood the gesture.

They nodded, gathered together, and trudged forward in the sudden gray sandstorm.

No wonder Bi Yangde’s team accidentally deviated from the original route on their return journey.

They were probably also encountering such a sandstorm. The visual distance was less than two or three meters, and the world was gray and white everywhere, as if there was no end in sight.

For humans, being unable to see colors other than gray and white for a long time is more terrifying than color blindness.

This situation was not torture, but it was worse than torture, so much so that most people in Yang De's team developed serious psychological problems, and it was natural for them to make misjudgments afterwards.

As they walked forward for a while, their bodies were covered with sand and dust, and they looked like they were covered with snow.

Although they continued to shake it off, as the storm intensified, the sand and gravel continued to flow in like a swarm of locusts.

But as long as they are willing to move, it will be beneficial.

In such a harsh environment, if you stay in an unsheltered place without moving, you will be completely swallowed by the gray and white sand.

After walking for a while, a figure appeared in front of them. He was also wearing a thick coat and a hood. He waved to everyone.

"It's me... Shasha... Jin..." Jin's voice mixed with the noise came from the hoods of German and the other three people, "A storm suddenly arose... Shasha... What a trouble..."

He walked over, stepping deep and shallow in the gray-white sand pool.

Although he was wearing goggles and a mask, Jin's weathered face could still be vaguely recognized.

German pressed the button on his collar, lowered his head and said loudly: "Let's find a shelter first to avoid this sandstorm, and then continue to move forward."

He didn't know how much of his words could be heard by other people on the same channel, but soon someone replied, and it was Jin again.

"Then follow me... rustling... I just passed by a... rustling... a huge rock that happened to block the wind... hide behind it..."

Jin turned around and pointed in a direction.
