Chapter 1355 Say NO to Balancing!
The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Chen An's wife was completely unaware and continued to look at Shi Li, even sighing with regret.
"If it weren't for the end of the world, you two would probably get married, right?"
Xue Wan's expression became more and more ugly as she spoke more and more exaggeratedly. Shi Li quickly spoke up to stop her, "Don't make blind guesses about things that don't exist."
"Okay, okay. In today's world, it's good enough to be alive. A marriage certificate doesn't matter. It's useless." Chen An's wife didn't think much about it and made a few good-natured jokes.
Shi Li quietly wiped away the sweat on her temples and looked at Xue Wan awkwardly, "Wan Wan, Sister Chen was just joking."
"I know." Xue Wan was angry, but if she showed her displeasure to others because of such a thing, it would seem that she had no big picture. She could only clench her fingers and be angry inwardly.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Shi Li couldn't help but secretly glance at Dawn.
He sat beside her, taking care of Yunyun in silence.
When Shi Li looked over, he seemed to have a telepathic connection with her and looked her in the eye.
There was a hint of sadness on his face, as if he was sad that Shi Li denied their relationship.
Seeing this, Li felt guilty and a little embarrassed.
The emotions were complicated and hard to describe. I could only turn my head quickly and pretend to stir the branches to make the bonfire burn more vigorously.
The night in the jungle is destined to be turbulent and full of dangers.
Although Chen An agreed that they would be responsible for keeping watch and let Shi Li and others have a good rest, no one could really let down their guard and fall asleep in such an environment.
Especially at dawn, his mental strength was always on guard against the surroundings, not daring to relax for a moment. The dim campfire set off his handsome face, and the firelight danced gently in his eyes.
The bright moon was hanging high in the sky, but it was blocked by the dense branches and could not shine into the forest at all. The rustling sound was slowly approaching, and the sound was so faint that no one could hear it.
Dawn's mental power sensed the unusual fluctuations, and he stood up with a cold look on his face.
The others, shocked by his sudden alertness, also stood up.
"We can't stay here anymore. There's a group of things approaching." Fuxiao said, picked up Yunyun, and concentrated on sensing it again. "It seems to be ants."
Ant? !
Hearing this word in the apocalypse can really give you goosebumps in a second.
If even ants mutated, it would be a disaster for humans.
No one dared to ask more questions or waste time, and they didn't even dare to pack some unimportant things. They got themselves ready as quickly as possible and set off in a hurry at night.
They walked fast enough so they didn't see anything. About ten minutes later, a large, dense swarm of red ants swept over to the place where they had just rested, like a swarm of wasps, covering everything and even putting out the campfire.
Fuxiao paused, and Shi Li beside him noticed immediately, "What's wrong?"
"Those ants can sense our presence. We need to go faster." Dawn did not directly say the brutal scene he had sensed with his mental power. He only euphemistically asked everyone to speed up.
But traveling through such a dense forest late at night, and having to be constantly alert to the dangers all around, it was impossible to speed up.
The mutated ants chased them straight after them as if they had locators installed on them.
After a while, Shi Li could even hear rustling sounds gradually approaching from behind.
You can't go any further, you will be caught up sooner or later.
After taking a deep breath, Shi Li grabbed Xue Wan and said, "Wan Wan, we have to find a way to stop those ants. We can't hide from them."
Xue Wan pursed her lips and looked towards the dawn with a frown, "How far is it?"
"About five minutes." Dawn also stopped and looked back with deep eyes.
"Find a vacant lot and I'll burn them to death."
Shi Li clenched her fingers and spoke very cruelly. This was the only solution she could think of.
Ants are afraid of fire, so her special ability will definitely be effective against mutated ants, but she doesn't know how many ants there are, so she also has to pay attention to the surrounding environment to avoid getting burned.
Xue Wan understood quickly, glanced at Chen An and the others, and told them to leave first. Facing the mutated ants, they couldn't help if they stayed.
Chen An's face turned pale and he opened his mouth to speak, but was pulled back by the people next to him. Finally, he followed the others and continued walking forward, looking back every few steps.
Only Shi Li, Xue Wan and Fu Xiao stayed.
Taking advantage of this time, they cleared a piece of space around them, placed thick hay and branches on the road, and prepared to roast the ants over a fire.
