Chapter 191 The Wind Comes from the Ground (Fifth)
The security of the stronghold outside the city is not tight at night, or in other words, the management of volunteers is not strict.

Although there are night patrols at each gate of the stronghold, their main task is to ensure that the awakened animals around the stronghold will not launch a sudden attack on the stronghold, rather than restricting the actions of the volunteers at night.

When Gao Jian left the dormitory, he was still worried that if he sneaked out for a walk in the middle of the night, he would be caught and questioned, but when he walked out of the dormitory, he found that he was completely overthinking.

He is not the only one walking on the street outside the stronghold, and some volunteers are running and exercising during this time period.

The work during the day is hard work, but the awakened ones have not actually received systematic training. In order to maintain good physical fitness and combat status, many students will find time to run and keep fit at night.

"It's really a group of hardworking people..." Gao Jian said with emotion from the bottom of his heart, and then walked towards the south gate of the stronghold on his own.

There are two night watchers at the gate of the south gate of the stronghold. They sit on the observation deck and look at the distant forest boredly. Even the stronghold at night was very safe, which also caused the Nighthawks to be lazy and turn a blind eye.

Gao Jian easily crossed the south gate of the stronghold and came outside the stronghold. According to his memory, the slope where he encountered the wolves was not far away.

"Revisiting the old place..." Gao Jian sighed leisurely in his heart, "I don't know if the traces I left in the grass in front are still there."

Just as he was walking quickly towards the slope, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

Gao Jian felt nervous—could it be that the person on duty at night found me?Want to take me back to the stronghold?
Under vigilance, Gao Jian hurriedly turned his head, only to see a familiar figure.

Cao Nanqing, who was wearing a tight-fitting sportswear, was running towards him quickly. It seemed that Cao Nanqing was out for a night run.

"It really is you." Cao Nanqing chased after Gao Jian and said, "I saw you sneaking out of the south gate from a long distance, why did you come out?"

"Ah..." Gao Jian was embarrassed for a while, and managed to avoid the Nighthawks, but unexpectedly, he was bumped into by Cao Nanqing.

"I'm going out to see the scenery..." Gao Jian talked nonsense.

"Fart!" Cao Nanqing tactfully exposed his lie.

She pointed to the sword, crossbow and well-dressed equipment on Gao Jian's body, "Who would look at the scenery dressed as if going hunting? Are you lying to a fool?"

Gao Jian said helplessly, "Hey... As expected, I still can't lie to you."

"Nonsense, your lying skills are too bad..." Cao Nanqing said speechlessly.

"Say, what are you doing here?" She continued to ask.

Gao Jian knew that he couldn't hide it from Cao Nanqing, so he simply told the truth: "Do you still remember the last time I was besieged by awakened wolves here?"

"Of course." Cao Nanqing nodded.

Gao Jiandao: "That night Xu Rongfang and I went to the bathroom one after another. Sister Liu said that Xu Rongfang obviously went to the north, while I went to the south, but then I met Xu Rongfang in the south..."

"Perhaps Sister Liu made a mistake." Cao Nanqing speculated.

"No, Sister Liu looked very determined at that time, without any hesitation. Besides, Xu Rongfang definitely didn't come out to go to the bathroom, she was the one who attracted the group of awakened wolves." Gao Jian said.

Hearing this, Cao Nanqing narrowed her eyes: "You mean...Xu Rongfang once did something ulterior in this area?"

"Yes." Gao Jian nodded and said, "Xu Rongfang obviously made some important discovery when she came out that night. There is some kind of connection between the group of awakened wolves and this important discovery..."

"I came out today just to find out what Xu Rongfang discovered that night."

Hearing this, Cao Nanqing nodded slightly: "I understand."

Then he said: "But Gao Jian, you are too courageous. If you dare to come out alone, you will not be afraid of any natural disasters and die outside directly?"

Gao Jian said in his heart: I have the ability to go back in time, the chance of survival should be higher.

However, he said on his mouth: "Hey, it's over for Mang."

Cao Nanqing curled her lips and said in disapproval, "Curiosity killed the cat. I advise you to calm down."

Gao Jian said: "Understood, I will be more careful."

After speaking, he turned around and walked up the slope, obviously still planning to find the truth of the matter.

Although Cao Nanqing did not approve of Gao Jian's actions, he followed her with strides.

Gao Jian was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Why are you following? Didn't you say that curiosity killed the cat?"

"Two people are safer than one." Cao Nanqing said, "Besides, I also want to see what Xu Rongfang found that night."

"Okay..." Gao Jian nodded, and then glanced at the sportswear on Cao Nanqing.

Since she was out for a night run, she only wore a tight-fitting sportswear with no defensive capabilities and carried a light saber on her back. This set of equipment is very dangerous in the wild.

Gao Jian took off the crossbow and saber on his back, took off his armor and handed it to Cao Nanqing: "You put this on."

Cao Nanqing waved his hand: "No, you can keep it."

Gao Jian didn't let her refuse, and forcibly put the armor on Cao Nanqing's body: "Don't be polite to me, you're hypocritical..."

When I put it on, I couldn't help feeling: "Fortunately, you have a small chest and can wear men's armor, but if you have a bigger chest, you can't put it on..."

Cao Nanqing's face was dark: "I see you want to expose your corpse to the wilderness, don't you?"

Gao Jian: "...it's hard to let people tell the truth these days..."

After tidying up their clothes, the two started on the road again, and soon they came to the place where the man-wolf battle was held that night.

"I remember that Xu Rongfang came from this direction..." Gao Jian pointed to the depths of the forest, "so her discovery is likely to be here..."

"Then go and have a look." Cao Nanqing said, "Pay attention to the wind and grass. Although the awakened animals have been evacuated from this area, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net."

"Understood." Gao Jian nodded and walked forward.

The two continued to move forward, about a kilometer away, but they still found nothing.

The scene in front of him was no different from other places in the forest, and there were no traces of any awakened animals.

"There is nothing..." Cao Nanqing said depressedly, "Great opinion, could it be that you are overthinking? Xu Rongfang didn't find anything, and the group of awakened wolves just happened to find her?"

"This..." Gao Jian faltered, and at the same time recalled what Xing Xiong said in his heart.

He said that because Xu Rongfang's awakened ability is brain strengthening, there will be some side effects, such as paranoia and the like, and he will fantasize about things that did not exist before.

"Could it be that what Team Xing said is true? But what Xu Rongfang said to me is obviously well-founded..." Gao Jian pondered in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a breeze, which gently brushed his cheeks, like a gentle big hand stroking him.

At first, Gao Jian didn't think there was anything strange about the breeze, after all, it was normal to have some wind in the woods, but suddenly he realized a problem - the breeze seemed to be blowing up from the ground.

"and many more!"

Gao Jian looked forward following the direction of the wind, and suddenly saw a deep black seam.

"There should be a tunnel here!"

Gao Jian pointed to the black seam, and said in a deep voice,

"There is a wind blowing up from the ground, which means that there is a through underground passage!"
