The night is deep and the world falls into endless darkness.

The stars and moonlight of the past had long been swallowed up by the catastrophe, replaced by endless darkness, as if even time had been frozen in this eternal night.

The fire in the camp flickered weakly, barely dispelling the coldness around, but unable to illuminate the bottomless darkness in the distance.

Li Luo tilted her head slightly and leaned gently on Lu Jingcheng's solid shoulder. Her eyes were fixed on the front and her voice was as gentle as a whisper in the night wind:

"Sometimes I can't help but wonder what the world would be like if this disaster had never disrupted the peace of life."

Her words were filled with nostalgia for the peaceful days of the past, mixed with fantasies about another possible life.

Lu Jingcheng tightened his arms slightly and held her in his arms. His deep voice slowly rang out in the silence:

"Maybe we will live in different cities, and have our own ordinary lives, without any intersection."

He paused slightly, lowered his head, and placed a kiss on Li Luo's hair, his movements were as gentle as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world, "But fate has brought us together. Going through these hardships has made us stronger, and it has also made me cherish you by my side even more."

Li Luo's lips slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, and her already fair cheeks looked even more attractive under the firelight:

"Yes, fortunately, in this cruel doomsday, we met each other and had such a group of companions fighting side by side."

The two of them snuggled up to each other quietly, enjoying this hard-to-find moment of peace.

The night wind blew slowly, bringing a slight chill with it, but it could not cool their hearts that were close to each other.

Suddenly, a few low roars came from a distance, breaking the silence.

The sound seemed to come from the abyss of hell, carrying with it endless eeriness and terror, echoing in the night wind and making people shudder.

Li Luo narrowed her eyes slightly, using her eye-enhancing ability to penetrate the darkness and stared at the direction where the sound came from.

In the distance, beyond the reach of the firelight, she vaguely caught a few blurry shadows moving.

The figures appeared and disappeared, and were too far away for even her special abilities to fully discern their specific forms - whether they were threats or harmless creatures remained unknown.

She said softly, with a hint of alertness in her tone:

"There was movement. I saw a few shadows moving in the distance, but I couldn't make out what they were."

Lu Jingcheng immediately tensed up, his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, his hands quickly clenched the weapon, the blade flashed a cold light under the firelight. He responded in a low voice:

"I'll go take a look, you stay here."

He gently let go of Li Luo's hand, stood up, and walked towards the direction where the sound came from, with firm and decisive steps.

Li Luo nodded, stared at his back firmly, and whispered:

"Be careful."

She immediately stood up, picked up the weapon placed beside her, held it tightly in her hand, and was ready to provide support at any time.

Her sight remained on the darkness in the distance, trying to capture more details through her supernatural powers, but the shadows moved so slowly and blurrily that she still could not feel completely at ease.

The firelight could only illuminate a small area around the camp, while in the distance there was a darkness that swallowed everything.

Lu Jingcheng's figure quickly disappeared into the night and merged into the boundless shadow.

Li Luo stood beside the fire, holding his weapon tightly, listening attentively to the movements around him, while continuing to use his supernatural powers to observe the scene in the distance.

The shadows seemed to be moving slowly, but they did not approach the camp, and their movements were not as rapid as those of zombies or mutant creatures.

She felt a little relieved, but still remained highly alert.

After a while, Lu Jingcheng returned, his brows slightly furrowed but his expression calm. He walked back to the fire and said in a deep voice:

"Just some stray wild animals. They have already run away. They pose no threat."

Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, slowly put down the weapon in his hand, and a relieved smile appeared on his face:

"That's good, but we don't understand the situation here, so we still can't take it lightly."

Lu Jingcheng nodded and became more cautious.

The two of them sat back down by the fire, the night breeze continuing to blow, bringing a hint of coolness.

The camp gradually returned to calm. As the firelight flickered, their eyes met, and there was trust and dependence on each other in their eyes.

In this world shrouded in doomsday, this brief moment of peace is particularly precious.
