Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

"Let's take turns to keep watch, otherwise it would be too dangerous for everyone to rest together." No. 3 suggested.

"Yeah, I think so too." No. 14 nodded and looked at No. 1, "What do you think, brother?"

Although No. 14 felt that No. 1 was about the same age as him, No. 1 had a more imposing aura and gave people an invisible sense of oppression, so it was particularly natural for him to call No. "brother".

"Sure," No. 1 said in a clear and pleasant voice. He raised his eyes and looked at No. 3, "How do you want to keep watch?"

"We are new here after all, so we will just follow your arrangements." No. 3 had a gentle attitude and seemed easy to talk to.

No. 1: "Then you two will take the first half of the night, No. 5 and I will take the second half, and No. 14 and No. 7 will take the time between them."

"it is good."

"can."

Everyone agreed.

The night was as dark as ink, gradually covering the earth.

No. 1 gently added a handful of firewood to the bonfire, then slowly leaned against the thick tree trunk, slightly closed his eyes, as if he had entered a peaceful state of rest. At the same time, Xu Meir also quietly leaned against the side of another big tree nearby, seemingly enjoying this moment of peace and tranquility.

Everything was silent all around, except for the blazing flames that occasionally licked the branches, making crisp and loud "crackling" sounds.

No. 4 couldn't help but yawn loudly, and he looked at No. 3 with a slightly tired look, as if he wanted to take a rest.

No. 3 nodded in understanding. Then No. 14 closed his eyes, and soon after, a steady and rhythmic breathing sound was heard.

No. 7 hugged her backpack tightly, and moved quietly to a tree close to Xu Meir with a vigilant look in her eyes. After all, she couldn't completely let go of her guard when she was among such a group of burly, unfamiliar men. Only by getting close to another woman in the team, Xu Meir, could she feel a little relieved.

Her constant anxiety made it difficult for her to fall asleep. The events of the day began to replay in her mind. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to drive these things out of her mind and force herself to fall asleep, but with little success.

Half asleep and half awake, she heard a faint but strange "rustling" sound, and her heart was instantly tightened as if by an invisible hand, beating faster. Instantly, she shuddered and suddenly opened her eyes.

Just less than one meter away from them, a huge green snake suddenly appeared!

The snake was huge, roughly estimated to be as thick as an adult male's thigh. At this moment, it was leisurely moving its scarlet tongue in and out. Its movements seemed slow, but it carried an indescribable deterrent force as it swam slowly towards them.

Seeing this scene, a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead, as if she was shrouded by an invisible fear, and the whole person suddenly became completely awake.

Her face was filled with fear, and she turned her head stiffly, looking anxiously at other people.

At this time, No. 2 and No. 3, who were on night watch, had obviously noticed the sudden dangerous situation before them.

No. 3 sent her a signal with his eyes, indicating that she should keep absolute silence. Then, he reached out his hand very cautiously and grabbed the sharp dagger hanging at his waist, which was flashing with cold light.

The emerald green snake showed no fear or retreat at all because of their actions. There seemed to be a hint of contempt in its dark pupils, and it quickened its pace of movement.

Seeing this, No. 3 took a deep breath and stood up resolutely. At this moment, the snake seemed to feel threatened, immediately raised its head high, stared at No. 3 with its eyes, and crawled straight towards him.

Faced with such a situation, No. 3 rushed forward like a gust of wind, holding a dagger.

There was only a slight "pop" sound, and the dagger pierced into the snake's body accurately!

Suddenly, bright red blood began to flow out from the wound, gradually staining his forearm. Then, he mercilessly pulled out the dagger and stabbed it again with all his strength!

The severely injured snake was in great pain. It twisted its huge body desperately and finally curled up into a ball as if making its last struggle.

No. 3 stabbed the snake a few more times and the snake gradually became motionless.

"Brother, you are so awesome!" No. 14 was stunned when he saw this scene.

"No," No. 3 put away the dagger and said with a smile, "I have only learned a little bit of martial arts. I was just lucky this time."

“You great people are so humble!” No. 14 exclaimed, giving a thumbs up.

No. 3 shook his head helplessly.

No. 14 continued, "You are amazing. With you as our companion, our safety factor has been greatly improved. We are so lucky to have you."

"You can't say that. On the contrary, I think it's great to meet you. There is strength in numbers."

No. 14 blinked and said, "That's right."

After this incident, the people who were originally strangers suddenly became familiar with each other. No. 14 and No. 3 talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very good.

No. 7 huddled beside a big tree and pursed her lips. Her already pale face became even paler. She had been afraid of snakes since she was a child, more afraid of them than anything else.

The fire was still burning, and it seemed to be the only bright spot in the woods. Looking back, it was pitch black.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Xu Meir's gaze, No. 1 asked sideways.

"Nothing." Xu Meir shook her head.

In addition to the smell of soil and burning smoke, she also smelled a faint fragrance, which was almost imperceptible and lingered for a long time.
