First frontal confrontation

"Are you saying... can you constantly monitor the external environment and allow us to see it in our thinking world?"

Shen Jiayi nodded and said, "Yes, I also understand what your purpose is." As she waved her hand, she withdrew her thought space and they returned to reality.

Seeing that she didn't want to delve deeper into the topic, Tom had no choice but to get things done first. As for the issue on the campsite side, Tom believes that Pozi and Uncle Wei can stabilize the campsite. At present, most of the people in the camp are recovering from injuries, and apart from tightening their defenses, it is really impossible to send people out to search for him. And if Tom couldn't handle it, they would only be even more uncertain if they came over, and Pozi definitely understood that.

Moreover, he also carried a metal phone strip assigned to him by Lin Meiqi. As long as Lin Meiqi uses remote spiritual communication to call him, he can explain the situation here to her. It's just a one-sided call. If Lin Meiqi doesn't call, he can't send her a message.

Night soon fell, and Tom lit the campfire, boiled a pot of hot water on it, and sprinkled two handfuls of coffee powder. Although he was curious about why Shen Jiayi wanted to be alone with him, she couldn't ask herself without saying it.

At this moment, Shen Jiayi seemed to be closing her eyes, but after seeing the wonder of her thinking world, he believed that Shen Jiayi must have a window monitoring him, and he was even more difficult to do anything. I can only stare straight at the campfire, thinking of another thing in my heart.

Lin Meiqi's giant armor has two problems, one is the hassle of fighting barehanded. He proposed a plan to transform the shoulder armor into a fist holster, which to some extent alleviated the problem; The other is a person wearing armor, which makes it inconvenient to observe the surrounding situation. If it's a cat and dog of the same height, it's okay. When encountering those low insects and mice, we can only rely on the lower part of the person to remind us. That way, the weapon in the upper part of the body will not be so easy to hit.

But what if we join Shen Jiayi's surveillance system?

Pull the upper and lower drivers into a thinking space and simulate the surrounding environment inside, so that they can

Tom shook his head and entered the world of thought, losing control over their bodies and the outside world, which was unrealistic. So this road... won't work.

He could only sigh and take a sip of coffee.

Time passed by until after 9 pm when Tom added new firewood and suggested that Shen Jiayi go back to the metal room to rest. At that moment, Shen Jiayi opened her eyes and stared at him with watery eyes, showing a special affection she had never seen before.

"Aren't you curious why I want you to spend the night with me outside?"

Having learned a lesson from the last time at the coffee shop, Tom stopped being fooled by Shen Jiayi's "fake" and ambiguous behavior. He cleared his throat and answered with a straight eye, "I think you must have a reason. Since you don't say it, it's not easy for me to ask."

"Hmph." Shen Jiayi snorted lightly and didn't continue the topic. Instead, she walked towards the metal small room that Tom had prepared for her. When she arrived at the door, she suddenly turned back and smiled at him.

Shen Jiayi herself is a beautiful embryo, with a delicate face, long black hair, and the mole under her left eye corner, which highlights her stunning beauty. It's just that I'm usually cold as ice, able to speak and act calmly without showing any mercy, which gives people a cold feeling even from a distance.

But at this moment, the original iceberg beauty looked back and smiled with the flickering flames, making Thompson feel the air around him solidify. The end of humanity's shrinking, the cannibalistic ants, the huge and agile cats and dogs, all these hardships seemed to disappear in the face of her smile.

With this smile, Tom felt no threat at all. His chest was filled with passion, and his arms were filled with surging strength. At this moment, he felt that in order to protect this beautiful smile, he could fight a mutated tiger barehanded.

The iron door closed, and Tom was stunned for several seconds before he regained his senses.

Of course, the feeling of looking down on the world just now was only a fleeting sensation. He had not yet been blinded by this beauty, truly thinking that he was invincible in the world.

Tom remembers Ouyang Haotian once commented on Shen Jiayi like that: "The mole at the corner of the eye is called a tear mole. Women with tear moles have rich emotions, are also very sensitive, and are prone to feeling sad and longing for others. Shen Jiayi was destined to be a crying ghost, with a weak and passionate personality. Now that she has become this Frost Ao Girl, it is enough to show that their Shen family is a very cruel and cold-blooded family. That is why such a beautiful woman who has attracted the love and care of all men has become the appearance of this cold-blooded witch today."

At that time, Tom did not believe in this set of beliefs, thinking that aspects and constellations were just superstitions. At least Shen Jiayi's mentality seems very good to him, but she is serious and strict in her work. Many people only see her strict side, but do not understand the meaning behind the end of the world.

Now it seems that if the coldness fades away, Shen Jiayi is indeed a beauty that people cannot help but pity.

She mentioned that she bears the burden of survival for 100000 people on her shoulders, and her words often have a tired expression. Perhaps this is precisely why she is unwilling to contact the shelter and return to it.

Thinking of this, Tom sighed, everyone has the freedom to choose their own life. After the micro disaster occurred, he deeply experienced the difficulty of struggling to survive and the pressure of carrying the survival of others. Every decision is afraid of causing others to pay the price of their lives.

Tom takes the lead in everything he does. Apart from being an action oriented person himself, he also has a deep desire to take risks on his own rather than let others face risks due to his own decisions. This is not because he has a good heart, but because he doesn't want to be involved in cause and effect with others in his heart.

Looking at the flames, Tom felt that perhaps he should find an opportunity to send Shen Jiayi to the Weilang New Area. Since she wants to find someone to live with, as someone who has received her favor, it is her duty to help her fulfill this wish.

That night, he thought a lot and unconsciously leaned against the tin house, dozing off. However, after not sleeping for long, he would immediately wake up, stand up, walk around to check the situation, communicate with the beetle wood, and then continue to doze off.

After a while, Tom suddenly woke up because he noticed someone approaching. Opening his eyes, he saw Shen Jiayi. I saw her face full of tenderness, making him think he was dreaming for a while.

"I can't sleep anymore, put out the fire." Shen Jiayi spoke softly, "The guests have finally arrived."

Tom immediately jumped up, went straight over to scatter the firewood, and stomped it out with his foot, while asking in confusion, "What guest?"

"Come on!" Shen Jiayi handed her hand to Tom, who grabbed it and entered her world of thought.

As soon as he entered, he saw a high angle window in front of him, only seeing a bunch of cockroaches and mice passing under the tree, scattered and running around.

"This is..."

"It should be the creatures that ambushed the Pozi team that day. Although they arrived so late for some reason, they have indeed arrived. I estimate that this should be just an advance force, with even greater threats ahead, and perhaps even the drivers behind them will soon appear. Tom... this camp... is not safe anymore."

"But... where can we go... and how do you know they're coming? What's the point of view?"

"The camera hanging on the tree trunk when I flew down on a wooden bike in the afternoon is a kind of supernatural ability. With this' thing ', I can monitor the surroundings. Of course, this idea is attached to the medium' camera 'made of crystal fragments, and I can only connect 5 at a time. Judging from their appearance, it seems that the camp's location has not been locked yet. You must immediately notify the camp personnel to extinguish the campfire in the room to avoid being detected."

Tom kept scratching his head and said, "Lin Meiqi gave me the 'call' card for remote spiritual communication, but she could only call me voluntarily. I couldn't initiate communication with her. Bozi should have told her about my departure, but she hasn't contacted me yet... really..."

Shen Jiayi sneered and said, "This is very simple, give me the call card." She then cut through her spiritual connection and returned to reality. She reached out to take the call metal card that Tom handed over and entered her mind space with him once again.

Tom didn't know how she made it, but suddenly a ripple appeared, and then Lin Meiqi appeared in Shen Jiayi's clean, tidy, and decorated office.

Prior to this, Tom was pressed down by Shen Jiayi on a spacious and luxurious leather sofa, while she herself, dressed in a black suit short skirt, sat diagonally on the spacious armrest near Tom, appearing very intimate. As soon as Lin Meiqi came in and saw it, she was furious on the spot.

"Hammer... you... you really got involved with this old lady... and even let her touch the call sign I made specifically for you, which made me so angry about you..."

Tom was immediately embarrassed. He was about to stand up, but Shen Jiayi pushed him back onto the sofa. She stood up and walked over, saying, "This is the thinking space I just created last night. How about it? Is it big enough?"

Lin Meiqi looked around disdainfully and snorted coldly, with a hint of reluctance on her face. "Hmph, the self righteous decorative style, but... I have to admit... you are stronger than me in terms of the rationality of spatial simulation, which can be attributed to your stronger realistic simulation calculation speed than me."

As soon as the two of them engaged in a secret battle in four-dimensional space, they completed a round with one side admitting defeat. However, Tom, who triggered the confrontation, had not yet understood. So he saw that the two of them were still in a state of tension just now, and Lin Meiqi was furious. The next moment, Shen Jiayi said, "Immediately put the camp in a hidden state," which made Lin Meiqi's face change greatly. Then she nodded solemnly and said, "I understand," cutting off her spiritual connection.

Tom blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, "Why did she go offline?"

Shen Jiayi smiled and said, "She already understands what I mean, but I regret rejecting her interview based solely on my first impression. It seems that she does have the qualification to live in a different way from other ordinary people. I have to apologize to her seriously when I go back."

What is this with?

Tom was completely confused, and just now he was at a loss. Why did this lawless Lin Meiqi immediately give up? Shen Jiayi actually said she wanted to apologize, why did they reconcile so quickly?

Based on his inference of Lin Meiqi's personality, if he rashly let Shen Jiayi touch the call sign she made for him this time, it would definitely cause a big uproar. He was already struggling with how to persuade Lin Meiqi to understand that this was a matter of urgency and authority, and not to worry about details. Quickly, he asked Poppa and Uncle Wei to extinguish the campfire at the campsite, and everyone entered a state of lurking.

How could it be done in the next moment?

Shen Jiayi snorted and said, "The next round of competition has just begun. Of course, we need to solve the problem at hand first. Tom..."

"Hmm?"

"Those bugs are looking for people, we also need to hide."
