Qin Liu followed Miss Yumila to the outside of the cave.

It is now four o'clock in the morning. The rain outside has stopped, but there is still a long time before dawn, and the mountain road is definitely not easy to walk on at this time.

"Are we leaving so early?" Qin Liu couldn't help but ask.

"The mission requires us to act early."

Miss Yumila quickly removed the alarm bell, turned her head and looked at Qin Liu, with an ambiguous smile suddenly appearing on her cheek: "How was your last night, you and Miss White Wolf."

Qin Liu avoided Yumila's gaze: "We are fine, don't think too much."

"You really don't know how to appreciate the good things you have." Miss Yumila was amazed and gave advice in a gentle and persuasive manner, "But I can see that you have that intention. Listen to my advice and make it as soon as possible. It will definitely taste so delicious that you can't stand it. Once you taste it, you will know that you should thank me."

Miss Qin Yanagi's face flushed, and she was anxiously thinking about how to respond, but Miss Yumila just smiled playfully, turned around, and waved goodbye with her partner.

Chapter 2024 Active Distance 03-11-12 00:03:

After Yumila left, Miss Qin Liu stood there in a daze for a while, probably thinking about what the other person said. Then, she shook her head vigorously and returned to the cave.

Inside the tent, Miss White Wolf was not sleeping well. She curled up into a ball, hugging her tail with her brows slightly furrowed. Miss Qin Liu guessed that it was because of the drop in temperature.

In the early morning after the autumn rain, the perceived temperature dropped a lot compared to the previous few days. Although she herself did not feel any discomfort, it was a different situation for White Wolf.

How about taking off your coat and covering the white wolf with it?

While thinking, Miss Qin Liu had already started to act, but when she took the coat in her hand, she suddenly found that her coat was cold.

After seeing Miss Yumila off, she stood outside for a while. The cold mist in the early morning soaked through her coat, making it feel damp and cold.

She looked around and realized that she had too little luggage and insufficient supplies, and she couldn't even think of a way to keep the white wolf warm.

At this time, Miss White Wolf suddenly moved, her body moved closer to her position, and her slightly frowned brows relaxed a little.

Miss Qin Liu understood instantly. Although the other party was in a sleeping state, his body instinctively moved closer to her, the source of heat.

Uh, she can be a heat source herself?!

Thinking of this, she took the initiative to lie down on her side, facing Miss White Wolf, who moved a little bit towards her and seemed to be much more comfortable.

Will it get closer? Miss Qin Liu thought secretly.

The answer is no. The environmental conditions basically met Miss White Wolf's requirements. The other party stopped moving and began to sleep peacefully.

This couldn't help but disappoint Miss Qin Liu, because she wanted to get closer.

Perhaps Miss White Wolf will find that it is not warm enough, she told herself, and she will have to move again, just like she did just now, so all she has to do is wait a little longer.

She kept waiting and waiting for about a century, but Miss White Wolf never moved.

Is Miss White Wolf so unwilling to approach her? She thought to herself, even though she knew she was asleep and it didn't make sense to think so, she still couldn't help thinking so.

After turning off the flashlight, the tent was pitch black, and it was also completely dark between her and Miss White Wolf. The darkness was unfathomable, and she might as well be as far away as a universe between them.

It would be great if Miss White Wolf could get a little closer. It would be impossible for her to break through this dark barrier on her own.

Her thoughts suddenly paused.

Can't you? She asked herself, you haven't even tried.

It's not that I won't try, but a guardian knight shouldn't do that. What if he really becomes the kind of person Yumila described?

But at this moment, you just want to get close to her, you don't have any bad intentions.

I...I, anyway, just feel like I can't...

You are scared of yourself, you are afraid of yourself, and as a result, you don’t even dare to have normal contact.

Yes, is that so?

Could there be any other answer?

I, I don’t know. I don’t know whether I should believe you or not.

Jane Willow, have you forgotten something very important?

what?

I am you.

……

After barely convincing herself, Miss Qin Liu was nervous and controlled her body to move slightly towards Miss Bailang.

However, it was this tiny distance that made her feel that she had touched Miss White Wolf. She suddenly realized that the distance between the two of them was so close, and what separated them was not the dark universe, but an imperceptible film.

Miss White Wolf's body had stretched out and was no longer curled up tightly like before. When Qin Liu approached and allowed her to actually touch the heat source, the unconscious actions during her sleep took effect again.

She was like a little animal that loved light and heat. She left the cold corner and kept climbing towards the warm and soft tree trunks. The strange reality made Miss Qin Liu doubt whether she was dreaming.

Before you take the initiative to take that step, everything is unpredictable. Only those who take the initiative can see the beauty of the future.

Miss Qin Liu became a warming pillow and was tightly entangled by the cold-fearing Miss Bailang. The latter relied on her body instinct to seek heat source from Qin Liu, with one hand placed on her warm lower abdomen and the other hand happened to be grasping her chest.

Miss Qin Liu did not have any desire at this moment. She found Bai Lang's actions very interesting. She especially wanted to know what expression the other party would have when he woke up and found out about this situation.

There is still a long time before dawn, and Miss Qin Liu is grateful for the length of the night, which means that there are still many good times left for her.

……

Unfortunately, Qin Liu didn't see what she wanted to see in the end. The first thing Miss Bailang did when she woke up was to rub her eyes with both hands. When the confusion passed, she couldn't remember where her hands were before.

The breakfast of that day was canned beef, which came from Miss Yumila of course. Although the two of them refused the supplies last night, Miss Yumila still took the initiative to keep them.

After breakfast, the two packed their luggage together. While doing this, they couldn't help but look towards the deep cave. It was a very special "battlefield". They had a tacit understanding and said nothing. After packing up, they set off directly.

It is still cloudy today, and we cannot be sure whether there will be a second rain. The mountain road after the rain is extremely difficult to walk on, and the mud is wet and slippery. Even if the White Wolf in its prime is replaced, I am afraid it will not be able to survive.

Miss White Wolf was reluctant to plunge her sword into the mud, so she asked Miss Qin Liu to break off a branch and make a crutch for her, so that she could move forward by stepping on fallen leaves and dry grass as much as possible.

The difficult walk lasted for several hours. Near noon, the dark clouds gradually dissipated and golden sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds.

The forest took on a completely different look.

The fallen leaves and green grass are covered with crystal clear water droplets, reflecting the colors of the gorgeous sunlight layer by layer, like mysterious sparkling gems.

Since entering the southern mountains of Casimir, the mountains and forests have never looked so beautiful as they do now. Miss White Wolf walked and looked around, her mood getting better and better, and she no longer even cared about the bad mountain roads.

As for Miss Qin Liu, her happiness was even simpler. As long as she could see Miss Bailang wagging her tail happily, her mood would be as happy as the blue sky in early summer.

The two people walked forward happily until a deer appeared in front of them.

It was a very beautiful long-horned stag with soft and natural patterns on its body. Miss White Wolf pulled Qin Liu down and squatted, secretly admiring this elf of nature from a distance.

The long-horned deer lowered its head to nibble on the grass, revealing the other half of its body.

Half of the head was without scalp, and the white skull was directly exposed to the air. The scarlet Originium crystals were stuck together with the blood-colored substance, growing on the side of the long-horned deer like a hideous abscess.

This is not an ordinary deer, it is a genuine Originium creature, and the appearance of Originium creatures often means a lot of things.

Chapter 2024: Traces of Natural Disasters03-12-12 00:02:

The process of animal infection is similar to that of human infection. Generally, animals are infected by being stabbed by Originium substances, or by living in an environment with high concentrations of Originium dust for a long time and becoming spontaneously infected.

In such deep mountains and forests, if we exclude human factors such as illegal experiments, the sources of infection are nothing more than natural disasters and exposed Originium veins.

Bai Lang thought of Miss Yumila's map. She had marked an area on the map, which was where they were about to go. Now it seemed that the mark was most likely related to the Originium creature in front of them.

Just as Miss White Wolf was concentrating on thinking, the infected deer discovered two people standing not far away and watching.

If an ordinary wild deer saw humans approaching, its first reaction would of course be to run away immediately, but this creature seemed to have suffered from mineral sickness, or perhaps it relied on its huge physique, not only did it not leave, but it lowered its head, pointed its antlers at the two people, and charged towards them aggressively.

Miss White Wolf knew the terrible impact of a charging wild deer, and subconsciously glanced around, trying to find a place to hide. Just as she was looking, Miss Qin Liu had already walked to the front without dodging.

In the next three seconds, Miss White Wolf saw a feat that she would never be able to accomplish in her lifetime.

Miss Qin Liu took a step forward with her left foot, swung the sword with both hands, and at the moment the wild deer charged, she swung the weapon hard like a baseball bat.

The sword hit the wild deer's side hard, making a dull loud noise. The huge wild deer was knocked away directly, tumbling in the air, and crashed into the bushes more than 20 meters away.

Miss White Wolf was stunned. She had to say that the visual impact of this head-on confrontation was so great that she couldn't help but feel her heart surge.

But she also knew that if she had played like this, she would be the one flying away.

Facts have proved that the wild deer's confidence was not groundless. Even after being hit hard and thrown dozens of meters away, it still stood up staggeringly. However, it also realized that the enemy was not easy to deal with, so it completely gave up the idea of ​​fighting and dragged its staggering body away.

Miss Qin Liu put away her weapon, looked at the deer's back as it left and said, "If it was an ordinary deer, I would have hit it like that and it would have been unable to get up."

Miss White Wolf nodded: "After all, it is an Originium creature, so it is normal for it to have some strange characteristics. We must be careful next time."

"Hmm, Originium creatures appear here, could it be that there is a mineral vein or something like that?"

"It's more likely to be caused by a natural disaster. This area is close to Casimir and there are many bounty hunters. If it was an Originium vein, it should have been mined out long ago. There's no chance of wild animals being infected to that extent."

"Makes sense."

"You must be careful next time. Don't let any wounds appear on your body. We may enter a natural disaster zone. It will be troublesome if we get infected by the Originium dust."

"You also have to be careful not to make your mineral sickness worse."

Miss White Wolf nodded in response. Her physical condition was special and many mysteries still existed. Miss Doctor requested that it be kept secret from everyone until the situation was fully understood.

So the explanation for her condition was: a mild infection, and because she was recovering well, she was not much different from ordinary people, and her previous life-and-death crises were all due to severe injuries.

In addition, Miss Bailang only had a small amount of surface crystals on her body, which had completely fallen off after she was cured, and her pupils had also turned from red to black. All of these signs were consistent with the characteristics of a very mildly infected person, and it was very convincing to say it out, at least that was what Miss Qin Liu thought.

The situation in the jungle continued to verify Miss White Wolf's guess. The further they went, the more frequently infected organisms appeared. When they crossed a mountain and entered the lowlands between the mountains, traces of the natural disaster finally appeared.

Although Miss White Wolf is not a professional scholar on the issue of natural disasters, she has spent a long time with Ceylon, Eyjafjalla and others, and has learned a lot from them.

For example, the distribution of Originium organisms and the degree of infection can be used to determine the approximate intensity of a natural disaster, and the type and time of a natural disaster can be determined based on the damage and recovery of the surface.

The natural disaster here occurred about two to three years ago, and it was probably accompanied by a wind disaster, which caused a large number of trees to be blown down and fall down in pieces.

However, in the past two years, the surface vegetation has basically recovered, and the trees that were blown down have grown branches and leaves, and the crooked forest looks unique.

Natural disaster researchers have used time as a baseline to divide the danger index of natural disaster areas into multiple levels.

Within one month after a natural disaster, it is at the highest danger level. Outsiders who enter without permission do not need to do anything. Just by inhaling high concentrations of Originium dust, they may be infected.

Within three years after a natural disaster, it is considered a dangerous level. Outsiders may be infected due to injuries or by chance by entering the closed disaster center area.

Three years after the natural disaster, the danger index has dropped again. Although normal people will definitely not choose to get close, special departments, such as the Originium Research Institute of the Victoria National University, will send students in to conduct research.

Of course, the above division is not absolute. For example, in the jungle environment where Miss White Wolf lives, due to good natural conditions, the dilution rate of the disaster dust will be much faster than other areas. Their main concern is the attack of Originium creatures.

As the sun was setting, the two began to look for a safe place to camp. At this moment, Miss White Wolf accidentally detected an unusual noise.

She quickly determined that the strange noise was the sound of human footsteps, so she immediately pulled Miss Qin Liu and hid in the weeds on higher ground.

"What did you hear?" Miss Qin Liu asked in a low voice.

"Someone is here." Miss White Wolf listened attentively, her ears slightly changing direction. "They will be here soon."

Miss Qin Liu obediently bent down to avoid it, and at the same time she looked at Miss Bailang's ears with envy and fondness. The white ears were not only cute to look at, but also very useful. She could never be able to predict the enemy like she did.

Sure enough, not long after the two men hid, a thin man with scars all over his face, Filin, came running over in a hurry.

Just from his fierce temperament, one can tell that this man is definitely a tough guy in the lawless zone. His clothes are torn in many places with a lot of bloodstains, and it's obvious that he has just been through a fight.

Miss White Wolf particularly noticed that the other party kept looking back while walking through the jungle. Could it be that there were pursuers behind?

Moreover, the other person was holding a cloth bag tightly in his hand. The things in the bag seemed to be very heavy, which had affected his walking, but he still held the cloth bag to his chest. It must be something very important.

Chapter 2024 Hunter and Prey03-13-12 00:03:

Miss Qin Liu kept watching the running Filin, watching him run from one side of the jungle to the other side of the jungle. When Filin began to move away from where they were, she felt relieved a little.

"Who do you think he is?"

"Bounty hunter." Miss White Wolf answered without hesitation.

"Although he looks fierce, he must be a novice."

"How do you determine that?"

"Look at the way he runs. He is in a panic, bumping into things along the way, and keeps looking back. This must be the reaction of a novice. He can't run fast at all. If there are pursuers behind him, it's only a matter of time before he is caught."

Miss White Wolf covered her mouth and chuckled: "Qin Liu, have you ever dealt with bounty hunters?"

"Does knowing a bounty hunter count?"

"I mean working together, or encountering a bounty hunter rival."
