Although Hou Xiaotao didn't say anything, his burning gaze still made Su Ning feel a little uneasy.

She coughed lightly and said, "Everyone go back and check if there is anything unusual in your room. Everyone is exhausted tonight, so go to bed early."

It’s true, this experience tonight really makes me feel physically and mentally exhausted.

But after returning to the tent, Su Ning couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking of the sticky hand she touched, Su Ning couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.

She took a flashlight and searched the tent carefully, but did not find any snake. However, the psychological trauma left by the previous incident was very deep.

Finally, Su Ning lay on the bed and forced herself to sleep.

She tossed and turned on the hardwood bed for nearly an hour but couldn't fall asleep. Instead, her eyes were as big as bells.

Su Ning sighed softly and simply got up from the bed.

Since I can’t sleep anyway, I might as well go out and exercise to burn off some energy.

She opened the tent and walked out, preparing to find an open space to practice her physical fitness.

Just as she walked into the open space, she saw two blurry figures fighting each other in the darkness.

"Who?!" The people on the opposite side became more alert. The moment Su Ning discovered them, the two figures walked towards Su Ning almost one after the other. Before she could react, they reached out to grab her wrist.

There was no way Su Ning would let them catch her like this. She just punched out and started fighting with the two men at the same time.

"Leader?" After a round of fighting, Qin Lie recognized the person as Su Ning. He took Su Ning's punch headlong, took a step back, and shouted in a low voice.

Another person also spoke up at this moment, "Ningning, oh, I thought it was someone else, why didn't you say anything?"

In fact, when Brother Dao mentioned who they were just now, Su Ning already knew who they were, but of course she had to participate in something like a kung fu exchange.

Fortunately, she had not been idle all the time, so she did not lose too badly when fighting with Qin Lie just now.

With the help of a little moonlight, Su Ning looked at Qin Lie and Dao Ge, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"So many snakes have only appeared tonight. We are worried that they will come back again, so we decided to stay here for one night," Qin Lie explained.

Originally, it seemed that Meng Jiang and Hou Xiaotao were on duty tonight, but the two of them were not brave enough.

The two were terrified when they saw so many snakes rushing towards them. Seeing their listless appearance, Qin Lie was also worried that if he let them continue to guard, something might happen tonight, so he simply let the two of them rest first.

He was planning to keep watch alone, but after a while, Brother Dao also came out.

The two hit it off immediately, and since the night was long and they were quite bored, they started practicing.

Unexpectedly, Su Ning also came over at this time.

Brother Dao finally remembered that Su Ning was a girl, and few girls were not afraid of snakes. He took Su Ning's face into consideration and just asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid of snakes?"

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Su Ning to reply, he shook his head to deny the answer.

"I shouldn't be afraid. If I were afraid of snakes, I wouldn't have finished the snake soup in just two or three gulps."

He saw that when a few young girls in Building 9 were drinking the snake soup, they were really scared and terrified, and in the end they forced themselves to drink it as if it were medicine.

She doesn't look like Su Ning at all. She was really happy just now.

Su Ning: “…”

Brother Dao had already finished speaking, so how else could she respond?

She sighed quietly, "It's not that I'm afraid of snakes, I'm just wondering why so many snakes suddenly appeared."

Although this mountain is very large, the appearance of so many and densely packed snakes at the same time is really creepy.

"Perhaps, they did not appear suddenly?" Qin Lie said.

Su Ning and Dao Ge turned their heads at the same time and looked at Qin Lie.

Meeting their gazes, Qin Lie explained again, "Have you forgotten? Grandma Yang said before that there will be a very strong earthquake in Yucheng. Generally speaking, animals are more sensitive than humans. Could it be that they sensed something in advance, so they ran here to take refuge?"

This explanation can be said to be very reasonable.

Su Ning also thought of the abnormal behavior of the small animals before the earthquake in her previous life.

For example, rats, which used to hide in the gutter and were hated by everyone, are now running around the streets like crazy, and birds are also showing all kinds of abnormal behaviors.

Oh, right, mice!

Speaking of rats, Su Ning's temples jumped again, "So, we won't experience another rat plague, right?"

If that were the case, Su Ning felt that she really couldn't bear it.

Brother Dao and Qin Lie also fell silent at the same time.

They had only been lucky enough to defeat the snakes they had encountered today.

If the same number of rat plagues occurred again, the scene would be enough to make one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Rats are not like snakes. They move faster, and it will only be more troublesome to catch them.

However, since there is a snake plague now, a rat plague may also occur.

Qin Lie sighed, "I'll go back and think about what kind of trap to set."

If rats really appeared, they would not be caught off guard like they were tonight.

Seeing him leave with a frown and a look of deep resentment on his face, Su Ning inexplicably felt as if she had given Qin Lie a very difficult problem.

She didn't understand either. At first they just wanted to hide here for a while when the earthquake occurred. Why now it seemed that they would have bigger problems living here?

For a moment, Su Ning even doubted her life.

Seeing Su Ning also frowning and looking like she was lost in thought, Brother Dao couldn't help but find it funny.

He walked over, raised his hand and patted Su Ning's shoulder gently, "Ning Ning, don't think too much. It's getting late. You should go back and have a good rest. I'll take care of it here. I'll let you know if anything happens."

"Okay." Su Ning didn't bother to be polite with Brother Dao. Seeing how energetic he looked, he definitely wasn't sleepy at the moment.

Su Ning felt relieved to leave the camp to Brother Dao.

Besides, at this time she felt that she had more important things to do.

After returning to the tent, Su Ning closed the tent tightly. She calculated the time and it was still early in the morning, so she went straight into the space.

Su Ning was in a hurry before and stockpiled a lot of miscellaneous things, but she didn't remember whether she stockpiled rat poison.

After searching in the space for a long time, Su Ning actually found a lot of powerful rat poison.

Relying on her wealth, she stockpiled supplies in large doses. If she sprinkled the rat poison around the camp, it was expected that a large number of rats would be poisoned to death.

Now, Qin Lie doesn't have to worry about how to make a trap to catch mice.

Ha, she is really smart.
