Chapter 46: Meeting an "acquaintance" again

"If apologies work, what's the point of having a knife?" The white wolf smiled as he said this.

The atmosphere in the entire room then tightened up once again.

Yan Yu seemed to be very afraid of White Wolf, even though she had so many guns pointed at her just now, she dared to speak harshly to Gu Ning, but now she turned pale with fear after White Wolf had lightly said this.

Probably because she thought that Gu Ning was intimidating, while White Wolf would really do something about it.

Gu Ning sighed in her heart, thinking that no matter what, it was always the truly evil person who took advantage, and she wasn't evil enough, or hadn't shown her evilness yet.

She glanced at Pei Jing, who was apologetic but at the same time carried a firmness that would not allow him to back down, which meant that if Gu Ning were to make a move against Yan Yu, he would definitely stand in Yan Yu's way, and Gu Ning knew clearly that she could not take the risk as his supernatural powers had not yet been displayed.

With a slight lift of her hand, the soldiers' guns dropped, and she looked coldly at Pei Jing: "You will die one day because of her." The voice was flat, so flat that it did not sound like a threat, but more like a prophecy.

Pei Jing's face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Gu Ning chose a dry area as a resting place.

Then he said, "I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, while Zhang Xiaobai and Zhang Yang keep watch for the second half of the night, and we'll set out to find Third Brother at first light tomorrow."

"I'll do the first half of the night." Cheng Ming said.

He was rejected by Gu Ning very firmly.

The others all knew that Gu Ning's decision would not be easily changed, so they all found a comfortable position each and prepared to sleep. Although they had also experienced such a dangerous scene just now, they had fought hard since nightfall until now without sleeping, and their extreme physical fatigue overcame the residual fear in their hearts, plus with Gu Ning keeping watch, their psychological fears slowly calmed down and they soon fell asleep.

The thought of putting dried human flesh in his mouth and chewing on it a few times made him sick to his stomach.

There were also occasional sounds of dry heaving from the other side, it was clear that eating human flesh was completely unacceptable to ordinary people and would only leave a shadow on them for life. But the broth and human flesh had probably been digested by now, so even if they vomited again, they wouldn't be able to vomit anything.

Gu Ning walked gently to the window and looked through the window at the rain outside, his heart was a little sullen. But they still had to continue their search for Sango tomorrow, and they didn't know if they were safe at the moment. Gu Ning frowned, feeling that this was not a good sign.

Her only reason for existing in this world was to keep her parents safe, but now she was starting to worry about the safety of others.

White Wolf walked up to Gu Ning's side at some point, gazing out of the window at the dark, dreary rain.

Gu Ning frowned slightly, but did not make a sound or move away, as if the white wolf did not exist.

The white wolf didn't speak either, treating each other as if the other didn't exist.

The two of them just stood quietly by the window looking out, the dark and dreary world outside was as white as day in their eyes.

It was less than seven o'clock when everyone woke up.

The rain outside the window had stopped.

Those who had guns began to check them.

Yesterday had been treacherous, but they had all insisted on not using their guns, so they still had plenty of ammunition.

After a night's rest, they were not in better shape, but rather a number of them had caught cold because of the sudden drop in temperature due to that heavy rain last night.

While Daoist Master Jia was fine because his robes were thick enough, the rest of the team showed signs of catching a chill.

Even the air was cool and the exposed skin stirred up goose bumps.

Gu Ning pulled her zip up to the top, her tracksuit was thick enough to withstand the chill.

Putting her gun behind her back, Gu Ning walked to the window and looked down, the zombies that had gathered there last night had disappeared.

Gu Ning took out the food from his backpack and shared a little with each of them. After eating, he went straight outside without greeting the other teams.

The white shirt man looked at the white wolf and saw that he had nothing to say, so he didn't say anything either.

When they reached the first floor, the ropes were still hanging outside, so it seemed that those people had really escaped.

Gu Ning and the others climbed down the ropes.

It had rained heavily all night and the ground was wet with a layer of water.

They all followed Gu Ning's lead and walked forward.

As they walked, Zhang Xiaobai's footsteps stopped and he looked at Gu Ning's back and gathered the courage to shout, "Aren't we going to look for Third Brother?" They were now heading in the direction they had parked.

Gu Ning stopped but didn't turn back as she asked, "Where to look?"

Zhang Xiaobai was speechless.

Gu Ning continued, "If Third Brother is still alive, he will come back for us. I'll wait until half past four, if he hasn't come by half past four today ... then we'll go back to the gathering place."

She had thought about it all night, and this was her final decision. She simply didn't have the certainty now that she could break into the pedestrian side and still get out in one piece, not to mention that she couldn't even be sure of San's location, and even if what White Wolf said was true, Eleven Square was so big, who knew which corner they were hiding in? And there was a big chance that they would try their best to break in and end up not even being able to find San and the others, and instead they would get themselves into it.

So she would wait in the car until 4:30 when San and the others hadn't appeared, and then she would assume they were dead.

There was no way around the fact that many people died every day in this world.

Gu Ning said this in her mind, then continued to walk in the direction where the car was parked.

"Let's go." Zhang Yang said to Zhang Xiaobai.

Zhang Xiaobai's shoulders slumped, even if Gu Ning hadn't said anything, he knew that even if they had Xiang Xu as their radar, it would still be a difficult task to find Third Brother and the others. Several other soldiers all patted his shoulder, as if to comfort each other. Then they all dragged their heavy steps after Gu Ning as they walked forward.

Although Gu Ning had convinced herself, her heart was still a little heavy.

No one spoke along the way.

The silence of solving a small wave of zombies and successfully obtaining two coloured crystal cores did not cheer up the team either.

Continuing on, they soon saw the two military trucks still quietly parked there.

Xiang Xu suddenly stopped in his tracks, pulled Gu Ning's shirt and looked at the military trucks in front of him and said, "There's someone inside."

The team tensed up all of a sudden.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Gu Ning.

"How many people are inside?" Gu Ning asked.

Xiang Xu paused for a moment, then said, "There are more than ten."

Gu Ning and the soldiers looked at each other and nodded once, before they quickly changed their bearings and approached quickly with their guns, finding the best place to shoot, before gesturing to Gu Ning that they were ready.

Gu Ning glanced at Daoist Master Jia, who was stunned for a moment and cleared his throat as he was about to shout.

The carriage door, which had been closed tightly, suddenly made a creaking sound of a door shaft turning - and then was pushed open at once.

There was a series of tugging on the handle, and all the soldiers raised their guns at once to aim at the door, firing at the slightest hint of something wrong.

But when the door opened, the soldiers froze, as did the people in the carriage.

Zhang Xiaobai rubbed his eyes incredulously before exclaiming in surprise, "Company Commander?!"

Everyone, including Gu Ning, felt astonished at this point, the person who had pushed the carriage door open and stood in the carriage was none other than the one they had been looking for, Third Brother!

Sango obviously didn't expect to see Gu Ning and the others as soon as she pushed the door open, and after freezing for a moment, she said loudly, "Gu Ning! Where have you guys been all night?!" Then he shouted to the carriage, "Get up, you all, Gu Ning and the others are still alive! They're back!"

"Huh?!" The soldiers who were still asleep all woke up and got up from the ground to run to the door to see Gu Ning and the others outside looking at them with a ghostly expression on their faces.

They all jumped out of the car one by one and excitedly ran over and shouted, "Where have you been! You scared the hell out of us! We thought you had been dragged back to the nest by the zombies to use as food reserves!"

It was only at this time that Gu Ning slowed down and looked at the happy soldiers in dismay, unable to understand what was going on now.

Zhang Xiaobai said with red eyes, "I was going to ask where you guys had run off to? Luo Long you just shouted that one sentence and never heard another word, we shouted the walkie-talkie out of battery without waiting for you guys to speak again, then we heard gunshots and searched for them, only found Wu Qiang's body, and searched around for half a day but couldn't find you guys. We almost got screwed last night, almost ate human flesh, and almost became someone's reserve food!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing for now. Gu Ning, let me show you my supernatural powers!" Third Brother interrupted Zhang Xiaobai very impatiently and said excitedly, eager to show off his supernatural abilities to Gu Ning.

Then three earth spikes appeared out of thin air in front of him, lined up and suspended in front of his chest.

Gu Ning couldn't help but light up in front of his eyes and said in surprise, "You succeeded, Third Brother?!" Zhang Xiaobai and the others all flocked over, looking at the three earth spikes with envy and amazement.

Third Brother he laughed twice in triumph before being rudely pushed aside.

"And me! And me!" Zhong Xu, who had always been very old and calm, could not hide the excitement on his face after pushing Third Brother aside and excitedly said to Gu Ning, "Gu Ning, let me show you my supernatural powers!" Then he flipped his palm and a football-sized ball of water appeared in his hand, "I'm a water supernatural power! I've tasted this water, it's drinkable! We'll never run out of water again!"

"All right, all right! It's my turn, it's my turn!" Luo Long reached out and pushed Zhong Xu aside, held his hand out to Gu Ning and said, "Gu Ning, try cutting my hand with a knife!"

Gu Ning froze for a moment, and the next second he heard Zhong Xu say, "Let me do it!" And then he raised the knife in his hand and slashed down towards Luo Long's arm!

Everyone in the squad Gu Ning had led was stunned, Huang Mengyao even shrieked in shock, but Gu Ning just watched quietly, only to see the knife land heavily on Luo Long's arm, there was no bloody scene of their imagined arm being cut off, with a clanging sound, the knife chopped on the arm but made a sound of chopping on metal.

Zhang Xiaobai shouted out excitedly, "Golden bell shade!"

Luo Long was instantly left with a black line.

"It's Golden Ability." Gu Ning smiled and said, "Third Brother is Earth, and Zhong Xu is Water. I didn't expect you guys to succeed with three supernaturals." According to the odds Xiang Xu had said, the odds of them succeeding in this one could be considered very high.

"Alright, you guys have had enough of showing off, shut up for now." Sango said.

He immediately made Zhong Xu and the others burst into a fit of sarcasm, the person who was showing off the most was clearly yourself.

"What about you guys, Gu Ning? How many of you have succeeded?" Third Brother asked.

Zhong Xu, Luo Long and the others immediately gathered their gazes over, all looking at Gu Ning somewhat nervously.

Gu Ning shrugged and said, "We haven't started yet. Prepare to return to the gathering place before we do."

A new situation could arise at any time last night, and if she fainted for several hours like she did last time, it would be the end if anything happened. So to be on the safe side she decided to start swallowing the crystal cores after she got to the gathering place.

Sango and the others were disappointed for a moment. Then they called out again, "Go, go, go, go back to the car first! Hurry back to the gathering place!" After saying this, they greeted and headed back.

Gu Ning was surrounded by the stars as she walked towards the car, joking and laughing with the soldiers along the way, when suddenly, her gaze inadvertently swept over the carriage, then the smile on her face abruptly froze on her face, and her footsteps stopped.

"Gu Ning, what's wrong?" They were all a little surprised to see Gu Ning suddenly stop.

Third Brother glanced back, then followed Gu Ning's gaze towards the carriage and said, "Those people were the ones we met yesterday at Eleven Square, they said they knew you, so we took them all out by the way ..." Third Brother did not finish his words as he noticed that Gu Ning's expression was out of place.

The smile frozen on Gu Ning's face slowly faded, and her gaze was cold as she looked at the people inside the carriage, her face was cold.

She pulled up a cold smile, more than knowing each other?
