"Yes, this is just the beginning." Lao Zhang was silent for a moment, and repeated in a heavy tone. A trace of haze flashed in his eyes, as if he had a premonition that the road ahead would still be full of unknowns and hardships.

When everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces gradually faded, and the atmosphere became solemn again. They sat in a corner of the safe house. They had just experienced a life-and-death struggle, and they should have been immersed in the joy of victory, but at this moment, everyone's heart was filled with anxiety and worry.

"What should we do next?" a team member asked in a low voice, with a hint of confusion and helplessness in his voice.

Lao Zhang sighed, he stood up, walked to the middle of the crowd, and looked at everyone with a firm gaze: "We can't let this victory go to our heads. The disaster has just begun. We must always remain vigilant and be prepared for the next round of attacks."

Everyone nodded. Lao Zhang's words were like a shot in the arm, which cheered them up again. They began to discuss the next plan and assign tasks to ensure that everyone could play their role.

After some discussion, everyone decided to take turns patrolling to ensure the safety of the shelter. Lao Zhang arranged the patrol shifts and told everyone to stay alert and not miss any suspicious signs.

After everything was arranged, everyone finally relaxed. They sat together and started chatting, sharing each other's stories and experiences. In the tense atmosphere, these relaxing topics were like a warm current, warming everyone's heart.

"Do you know? I used to be a chef, and I was best at making braised pork." A team member said with a smile, his eyes flashing with memories.

"Really? Then after this disaster is over, you have to show us your skills." Another team member joked, with a long-lost smile on his face.

Everyone agreed, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. They talked about their hometowns, relatives, and dreams, as if at this moment, all the pain and hardship were forgotten.

However, in this relaxed atmosphere, there was one person who seemed a little out of place. He sat in a corner with a stiff expression and empty eyes, as if he was immersed in his own world. Everyone noticed his abnormality and cast concerned glances at him.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" A team member walked up to him and asked softly.

The man raised his head, glanced at everyone, and shook his head: "It's okay, I just... miss home."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel sympathy and pity. They knew that in this disaster, everyone had lost too much, home, relatives, friends... these things that were once within reach have now become out of reach.

"Don't think too much, we will definitely get through this difficult time." Lao Zhang walked up to the man, patted him on the shoulder, his tone firm and powerful.

The man nodded, and although there was still a hint of confusion and uncertainty in his eyes, at least he was no longer so stiff and empty.

As night fell, everyone returned to their beds to rest. The patrol members picked up their weapons, walked out of the safe house, and began patrolling the shelter.

At first, everything was peaceful. The patrol members shuttled through the night, and their footsteps echoed in the silent night sky, as if announcing their existence and courage to the ghosts in the dark.

However, as time went on, patrolling in the second half of the night became extremely difficult. The night became darker and darker, as if even the air had become heavier. The patrol members began to feel extremely sleepy, and their eyelids felt like they were filled with lead and could not be opened.

"What's going on? Why am I so sleepy?" A team member said to his companions, trying hard to stay awake.

"Yeah, I think so too. Could it be that we were too tired from fighting yesterday?" The companion rubbed his eyes, with a hint of doubt and worry in his tone.

The two supported each other and continued patrolling in the night. However, their steps became heavier and heavier, as if every step was like stepping on cotton. Their eyes also became blurry, as if they would fall asleep at any time.

"No, we can't go on like this. If we continue like this, if ghosts attack, we'll be finished." A team member suddenly woke up and shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the sleepiness.

"Yes, we can't sleep. We must stay vigilant." His companion also woke up. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to continue patrolling.

However, sleepiness came over them like a tide, and they could not resist it. Their eyelids began to droop, and their bodies began to shake. At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the night sky, like a ghost, making people shudder.

"Here they come!" a team member shouted in a low voice. Although his voice was low, his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Everyone woke up in shock, picked up their weapons and pointed them in the direction of the sound. However, nothing could be seen in the darkness, only the strange sound echoed, as if mocking their powerlessness and fragility.

"Everyone, don't panic. Stay calm." Lao Zhang's voice rang out in the night, his tone was calm and firm. He quickly organized everyone and began to search for the source of the sound.

After searching for a while, they finally found a ghost hiding in the dark. It was hiding in a corner of the shelter, staring at them with its green eyes, as if waiting for something.

"Prepare for battle!" Lao Zhang ordered in a low voice. Although his voice was low, his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Everyone raised their weapons and aimed at the goblin. Their eyes flashed with determination, as if they were announcing their determination and courage to the goblin. However, at this moment, a team member suddenly fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

"What's going on?" Old Zhang was horrified, and he quickly ran to the man and tried to wake him up. However, no matter how he shouted or shook him, the man did not respond.

"Oh no, this is an illusion of ghosts!" Lao Zhang suddenly realized something and quickly reminded everyone.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this. They knew that illusion was a special ability of ghosts, which could make people fall into a deep sleep and unable to extricate themselves. Once they fell into a deep sleep, it was equivalent to handing their lives over to the ghosts.

"Everyone, be careful, don't be fooled by the ghost's gaze!" Lao Zhang shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the night, as if conveying a warning and strength to everyone.

Everyone nodded, they held their weapons tightly, staring at the ghost with a firm gaze. They knew that at this moment, they had no way out. Only by defeating the ghost could they save their lives and dignity.

At this moment, the ghost suddenly launched an attack. It turned into a black shadow and rushed towards everyone. Its speed was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, and it appeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

"Fire!" Lao Zhang shouted loudly. His voice was like thunder, echoing in the night sky.
