Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife

Zhang Shi nodded, his heart also full of vigilance. The three of them were currently in thick fog, their vision was blocked, and they were unable to judge the surrounding situation at all. Moreover, after being corroded by the corpse poison, their physical strength has been almost exhausted. It is still unclear whether the black figures are enemies or friends. They must find a safe place to rest as soon as possible.

"We have to find a place to hide first and wait until our bodies recover before we can think of a solution."

Zhang Shi forced himself to take a breath and led Zhao Feng to search aimlessly in one direction.

Ge Dalong was also a little squishy, ​​and even walking was a bit wobbly at this time. Zhang Shi had to slow down and focus part of his attention on him. If they were separated in this thick fog, what would happen to them in this state? Said there was only a dead end.

The three of them walked carefully through the thick fog, looking for a place to hide. They didn't know whether it was luck or some additional factors. It didn't take long for them to find an abandoned hut in the dull fog. Although it was dilapidated, it looked like it could barely keep out the wind and rain.

Zhang Shi glanced at Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong, and didn't care whether it was dangerous or not. The three of them would die if they were dragged down. Even if this room was a tiger's den and a dragon's pool, Zhang Shi had to find a way to defeat it and rest here for a while. .

After entering the hut, Zhang Shi carefully took out Lao Duan and checked the house. After confirming that there was no danger, he closed the door and lit the oil lamp. Then he sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. He took a quick look and found that the wooden house was surprisingly similar to a survivor's shelter. They both had similar wooden structures and similar spatial layouts. This made him start thinking again, guessing that this wooden house might belong to a survivor. The shelter was abandoned for various reasons.

Zhao Feng was the first to be poisoned, but the amount of poison was very large. At this time, his face was as pale as paper and he fainted. Ge Dalong took out a pile of food and medicine with detoxification effects on one side, and crazily stuffed them into Zhao Feng's mouth.

Zhang Shi went over to take a look at Zhao Feng's condition. There was a very obvious black energy between his eyebrows. This was obviously not a good sign. They had lost the channel for communication and transactions with the outside world and were isolated in this misty hut. , Zhang Shi couldn't help but feel worried.

The good news is that Ge Dalong's pile of medicine seems to be effective, temporarily suppressing the corpse poison. At least Ge Dalong's own condition is much better, he has regained some strength and can walk normally, but Zhao Feng is still unconscious. , that black aura still appeared in the middle of his eyebrows and never faded away.

Suddenly, there was a clear sound of footsteps outside. The footsteps came from far away and stopped after approaching the wooden house. Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong looked at each other, quickly took out their weapons and hid behind the door. They were a little careless and actually lit the lights in this dark world. This was undoubtedly telling those unknown beings that they were here, hurry up. Come and play with me.

Zhang Shi held his breath and stared at the door with all his concentration. As long as the other party pushed the door and broke in, Lao Duan's blade would be waiting for him.

Ge Dalong took out a fine steel dagger and frantically made gestures towards Zhang Shi, arranging tactics. The two of them were leaning against the door nervously. They didn't know how long it took. The wooden door was pushed open. Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong took action at the same time. Each of them dropped their swords forward, but they missed.

The two of them looked outside the door. Under the light, a rosy-complexioned and beautiful-looking woman in black robes was standing outside. Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong were stunned when they saw each other's appearance clearly. It turned out to be Huo Xiuxiu who had disappeared from Huojiacun.

In comparison, Ge Dalong's face was as golden as paper, and Zhang Shi was filthy, but Huo Xiuxiu was more human than them.

Huo Xiuxiu was also surprised when she saw the two of them. She looked past the two of them and saw Zhao Feng lying inside, and then asked in surprise.

"What's going on, why are you here?"

Huo Xiuxiu's tone was gentle and gentle, without any trace of the hostility he had when they first met. Zhang Shi observed her for a moment and found that there was a shadow behind her against the light, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"I've really seen a ghost. Has this evil ghost become an immortal? He actually has a physical body."

Huo Xiuxiu saw the two of them looking at her warily and chuckled.

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm."

Then she waved her slender hand, and an invisible gentle force pushed the two of them into the room. Huo Xiuxiu followed slowly, then closed the door without forgetting to extinguish the oil lamp. After a moment, she took out a flaming pill from her arms. The soft light of the shimmering night pearl suddenly filled the entire wooden house.

"It's safer this way."

Before Zhang and Shi could speak, Huo Xiuxiu suddenly flashed to Zhao Feng's side and covered his face with a palm. Seeing the opponent's sudden attack, Zhang Shi was so anxious that he directly used the Shadow Step and Triple Strike, and struck the knife towards Huo Xiuxiu's face.

Huo Xiuxiu didn't even look at Zhang Shi. She reached out with her other hand, held Zhang Shi's wrist firmly, and easily neutralized Zhang Shi's attack.

"Don't be impulsive. If you want to survive, just stay calm."

Zhang Shi saw that Zhao Feng's body was trembling slightly, and wisps of black energy on his body were being absorbed by Huo Xiuxiu's hand covering his face. Zhang Shi realized that he had wrongly blamed the other party and that Huo Xiuxiu was trying to help, so he put Lao Duan away and thanked him softly.

"Thank you very much."

Huo Xiuxiu ignored it and focused on dealing with the corpse poison on Zhao Feng's body.

Zhang Shi shook his wrist and recalled the feeling of contact with Huo Xiuxiu just now. The other person's hand was soft but strong, and the temperature was the same as that of an ordinary person. It seemed that the woman in front of him was indeed a "person".

In a moment, all the black energy on Zhao Feng's body was absorbed. Huo Xiuxiu took out a small porcelain bottle and poured the black energy gathered in her palm into it.

"It's your turn, who comes first?"

…

Within ten minutes, Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong were also cured by Huo Xiuxiu. She still absorbed the corpse poison and put it into the small porcelain bottle. Then she wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked in a deep voice.

"Now you can answer me, what's going on with you, and why did you come back here so quickly."

Zhang Shi was a little confused about Huo Xiuxiu's question, but he still gave a rough summary of his and his group's experiences with some reservations.

After hearing this, Huo Xiuxiu sighed and asked again.

"Have you seen Brother Jian?"

Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong looked at each other and then replied.

"I saw him when I came back last time. He was imprisoned in a porcelain pot. He died not long after we rescued him."

Huo Xiuxiu clenched her fists and her expression turned cold.

"I have already left the village, why am I still unwilling to let Brother Jian live?"

Zhang Shi had a lot of questions, but he and Huo Xiuxiu were not in love, and under the current situation, it was unclear whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so he could only remain silent.

Soon, Huo Xiuxiu adjusted her mood and spoke calmly.

"You are very different from the last time we met. I can hardly see clearly."

Zhang Shi didn't know what she meant, so he could only ask the question that mattered most to him now.

"A friend of ours is missing. Do you have any way to find her? Also, do you know a way to get out of here?"

Huo Xiuxiu looked back at Zhang Shi, smiled helplessly and shook her head.

"I'm not a god. If I can leave, why bother being trapped here."
