Although I couldn't hear Qin Ju's voice, I could still tell from everyone's expressions that they were worried about me.

Therefore, Lu Xinyi forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."

After saying that, she stood up with the help of Qin Ju and looked out the window at the mutant bats that were still attacking them with sonic waves.

Even in the dark, she could clearly see the appearance of these mutant bats.

After the mutation, the bat's ears became much longer, its mouth became sharper, and it grew two sharp fangs. The claws under its wings were like steel knives and looked very sharp.

Taking a deep breath, she gathered her supernatural powers, and with a wave of her hand, a beam of purple lightning struck the Bat King.

Unexpectedly, the Bat King reacted very quickly and actually avoided the purple lightning attack.

But the bat behind it was not so lucky. It was struck to death by the purple lightning on the spot, and its huge body fell to the ground from mid-air with a snap.

The death of this bat made the Bat King extremely angry, and he stared at her angrily with his eyes.

The next moment, it opened its mouth wide and launched a new round of sonic attacks.

Not only that, the dozens of bats behind it also opened their mouths and attacked them at the same time.

Dozens of huge bats opened their mouths wide and roared at them. The scene looked really impactful.

But Lu Xinyi didn't have time to think about these things at the moment. She attacked the mutant bats outside the window again.

Qin Ju and the other three were not idle either, and they threw their special powers at the group of bats.

Purple lightning, fire dragons, metal balls and wind blades crackled and hit the mutant bats.

Soon, more than half of the mutant bats died.

And those that remain are just barely surviving.

Even the Bat King was hit twice by Lu Xinyi's purple lightning. He lay unwillingly on the windowsill, staring at them with his dying breath.

Then a spike of ice pierced through its head.

Bat King's body fell rapidly and hit the concrete floor of the yard with a thud.

Lu Xinyi walked from the defense barrier to the window and looked at the mutant bats lying densely on the ground in the yard downstairs.

She waved her hand and a fire dragon gushed out, swallowing all the living mutant bats.

A raging fire broke out, illuminating the entire yard.

Soon, the air was filled with a burnt smell mixed with a hint of meaty aroma.

"Tsk, you know what, this roasted bat meat tastes quite fragrant." Du Heng couldn't help but say.

Li Wanzhi glanced at him and said unhappily, "Then why don't you go down and cut a plate of meat for me to try?"

"Forget it then." Du Heng waved his hand hastily, "It's not like we don't have anything to eat. Why should I eat these mutant bats?"

The fifth-level fire ability has a flame concentration and purity that is far beyond that of ordinary fire. It quickly burned the pile of mutant bats into a pool of ashes.

The flames died down and darkness fell again.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed early." Lu Xinyi had regained some hearing now, so she said to everyone, "Brother Heng, thank you for your hard work in guarding the first half of the night. I'll take over the second half."

"I'll keep watch for the second half of the night." Qin Ju said immediately.

Lu Xinyi shook her head: "You are tired after driving all day today. Have a good rest tonight so that you can continue driving tomorrow."

Although Du Heng suggested that he and Qin Ju take turns driving and let Qin Ju sit in the back seat, Qin Ju flatly rejected his suggestion and insisted on driving himself.

Du Heng had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.

"It's okay for me to stay up all night." Du Heng patted his strong chest and said confidently, "Don't look at me as being older than you. When it comes to staying up late, I'm not inferior to you youngsters."

As he said that, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Xinyi with a smile, "But, Xinyi, can you give me a tablet? I want to read novels to kill time."

"Are you going to read those romance novels you've read several times?" Li Wanzhi joked, "You may look rough on the outside, but you have a sweet girlish heart."

"You are prejudiced," Du Heng said seriously, "Who says that only girls can read romance novels and rough men can't? Everyone has the right to appreciate or pursue beautiful love."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Wanzhi nodded perfunctorily, not wanting to listen to his long speech.

Just because, this kind of conversation between them was not the first time in the past few months.

Lu Xinyi was also a little surprised when she first discovered that Du Heng actually liked to read romance novels and watch romance dramas.

The truth is, he looks too rough, he is tall and strong, and he does things cleanly and efficiently.

Who would have thought that he not only enjoyed watching it, but also couldn't help crying when he saw touching or heart-wrenching parts.

A rough man crying like a tearful child, this scene is really shocking.

However, this is Du Heng's hobby. Except for Li Wanzhi occasionally teasing him, no one looks at him with tinted glasses because of his hobby.

Not only that, most of the time, Qin Ju, Li Wanzhi and Xia Lianqiao would watch with Du Heng.

So, no one should blame anyone else, we are all the same.

"Here you go." Lu Xinyi took out a tablet from the space and gave it to him, along with a power bank.

"Xinyi is so considerate. She even prepared a power bank for me." Du Heng happily took the tablet, opened it, and found the novel collection folder with familiarity.

Lu Xinyi smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Heng to keep watch tonight."

"Well, it's not hard for us to work together." Du Heng waved his hand indifferently, "You guys can go and have a rest. I will notify you immediately if there is any situation."

Everyone did not disperse, and all slept on the floor in this room to rest.

Silent all night.

The next day.

Bright light came in from the window, of which only the window frame was left, waking up several people in the room.

Lu Xinyi opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling above her head to wake herself up.

After last night's rest, her hearing has now fully recovered and she can clearly hear the light chirping of insects outside.

She got up and said softly to Du Heng, who was sitting by the window reading a novel, "Brother Heng, go and have a rest first. I'll go prepare breakfast for everyone."

Du Heng turned off the tablet, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go to sleep for a while. Don't call me for breakfast. Just call me when you leave."

"it is good."

Lu Xinyi turned and walked out of the room. When she passed by Qin Ju, she saw that he had woken up and was staring at her with his dark brown eyes.

"You can get some more sleep."

Qin Jue got up and followed her, saying, "I'll go with you to prepare breakfast."

"Okay then." Lu Xinyi did not refuse and went to the next room with him.

For breakfast she prepared simple and quick sandwiches.

Two slices of toast spread with salad dressing, sandwiched with fresh green lettuce, and the innermost layer is fried eggs and ham slices that have been fried to golden brown on both sides.

Pair it with a cup of hot milk and a simple yet hearty breakfast is ready.

After having breakfast, they continued on the road to Base M in the warm morning sunshine.
