The male supporting role was captured by the protagonist after his rebirth

The night gradually deepened, darkness enveloped the earth, and a thick fog rose from the wasteland, like a thick veil, wrapping everything and making it difficult to see.

This land was lifeless, so lonely that only snowflakes were quietly falling, and it was quiet and cold.

However, on the leeward side of a rugged rocky mountain, there was a faint glow of fire.

It was a small bonfire, like a firefly flickering in the night sky.

What was surprising was that the bonfire burned so vigorously in this extremely cold weather without any signs of weakening.

The cheerfully dancing flames illuminated the surroundings, dispelling the chill of the night and also illuminating a petite figure.

She sat quietly by the campfire, her hands on her knees, trembling slightly.

It turned out to be a girl in her teens. She was wearing a thin white dress, but she didn't seem to be affected by the cold. Instead, she stared intently at the bonfire in front of her.

The girl's hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering in the wind, exuding a faint fragrance.

Suddenly, a bright light suddenly appeared behind the dark hills in the distance. It was so brilliant that it was difficult to look directly at it, and even half of the night sky was illuminated.

The girl seemed to sense something and looked up. A hint of fear appeared on her young face, but more of it was a hint of excitement.

The flames in the campfire burned brightly, licking the air and emitting warm heat.

The girl reached out her hand and gently touched the flame, feeling its warmth.

Then, the corners of her mouth curved up into an expectant smile.

How interesting! Is this person qualified to be her rival?

……

Far on the other side of the hill, Deng Shentong was leaning on a large recliner beside the fireplace, curled up in his silver-gray fox fur.

He looked very lazy, with his silver hair draped over his body and hanging down from the back of his chair. He almost collapsed to the ground, like a playboy who came to a bonfire party.

The long eyelashes were closed, as if she was asleep.

Some team members returned to the tent to rest, while Bai Chunyu stayed with Deng Shentong to keep watch. He and deputy captain Liao Honglei were responsible for taking turns on shifts at night.

Bai Chunyu held a gun at hand and looked around the camp vigilantly.

His young master had finally gotten a chance to rest, so he had to keep a close eye on him and make sure nothing went wrong.

Suddenly, a slight rustling sound was heard in the night, and Bai Chunyu looked up suddenly.

At this time, he noticed that there seemed to be some unusual movements on the hillside not far away.

He immediately became alert and tightened his grip on the gun.

"It seems like something is approaching, I have to go check it out."

Bai Chunyu glanced at Deng Shentong who was still sleeping soundly. His peaceful sleeping face made people reluctant to disturb him.

He took steps carefully, trying not to make any noise, but the snow under his feet still crunched.

Every step he took made his heart beat faster, as if there were a pair of eyes watching him from behind.

As he walked, dark stones appeared under the snow. These stones had different shapes, some looked like distorted human faces, and some looked like huge claws. They looked particularly ugly and weird in the dark night.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed before his eyes!

The black shadow was as fast as a ghost, leaving only a vague outline.

Bai Chunyu's heart tightened, and he quickly chased after him without hesitation. However, the black shadow was so fast that it disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the howling cold wind blew across the undulating wasteland, like ghosts wailing in the night.

The sound of the wind mixed with strange noises made people feel creepy.

There was deathly silence all around, and Bai Chunyu felt uneasy. He decided to go back and inform Deng Shentong.

When he returned to the camp, he found that Deng Shentong was nowhere to be seen, and only the fox fur coat was left on the recliner.

Bai Chunyu looked around, his heart almost skipped a beat, and cold sweat almost dripped down his forehead.

It was only a few minutes since he left the camp. Where did Deng Shentong go?

Bai Chunyu reached out and touched the fox fur. There was still a trace of body temperature on it, so it seemed that the person had not gone far.

He frowned, took out a flashlight, and began to look for Deng Shentong's trace nearby.

At this time, Liao Honglei's sturdy body squeezed out of a tent. He yawned and greeted Bai Chunyu: "Old Bai, I'm here to take over the shift... Hey? What are you looking for?"

Liao Honglei's eyes fell on the empty recliner, and he was stunned: "Where is the captain?"

"Lao Liao, he's gone. I just saw a dark shadow and I chased him and found that he was no longer here."

Bai Chunyu turned around and said solemnly.

"What? How could this happen?" Liao Honglei's sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

The fire made crackling sounds, which seemed a bit out of place in the silent night.

The two looked at each other, and both had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"I'll accompany you to look around. Maybe the captain is just out on patrol." Liao Honglei suggested.

Bai Chunyu nodded, and the two of them went to wake up a team member to take over, and then took high-intensity flashlights and started searching around the camp.

The cold wind blew the tent, making a rustling sound.

"There are footprints here!" Bai Chunyu suddenly pointed at the ground and exclaimed.

Liao Honglei quickly looked in the direction of the footprints, and saw that the footprints extended to a forest in the distance.

"Let's go and take a look." Liao Honglei frowned and took the lead towards the woods.

The trees in this forest have been frozen to death in the extreme cold for a long time. The treetops are covered with snow. From time to time, the branches make a sound of being unable to bear the weight, and then fall to the ground with a snap.

Although it was sheltered from the wind, it was dark and the woods were filled with thick fog, making the vision blurry.

The footprints began to fade as they reached the woods, then gradually disappeared.

The two walked carefully, and the sound of branches breaking came to their ears from time to time, making their nerves even more tense.

Bai Chunyu held the weapon tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

In such a harsh environment, any negligence may lead to fatal consequences.

Suddenly, an extremely shrill scream came from the front!

That cry is definitely not a sound that a human can make!

Liao Honglei and Bai Chunyu immediately stopped and looked at each other.

The scream echoed in the quiet woods, making people shudder, and both of them turned pale.

"There seems to be something going on ahead, let's be careful."

Liao Honglei said softly, he took out his fine steel boxing gloves and put them on, then led the way and motioned Bai Chunyu to follow.

They slowly approached the source of the sound, being extremely cautious with every step, for fear of making any noise and causing unnecessary trouble.

After passing through the thick fog, they were stunned by the scene before them - they saw a mutant rat as huge as a hill lying on the ground, its body twisted into a strange posture, its eyes wide open, as if it was suffering great pain.

Its fur is an eerie grey color that blends in with its surroundings, making it difficult to detect.

There was not a single wound on the mutant rat's body, and steam was coming out of its mouth and nose. It seemed that it had just been killed by something.

Liao Honglei and Bai Chunyu looked at each other and saw fear and confusion in each other's eyes.

This mutant rat was huge in size and looked to have a strength of more than 7000 points, but it was killed instantly not far from them!

Liao Honglei took a deep breath and approached the mutant rat's corpse cautiously, trying to find some clues.

He carefully observed the body of the mutant rat, trying to find the cause of death, but found nothing.

"Could it be that a more powerful mutant creature passed by here and killed it?" Liao Honglei guessed.

Bai Chunyu frowned: "It is also possible that some mysterious existence has taken action... In short, this place is becoming more and more dangerous."

Liao Honglei nodded in agreement and continued to observe the snow around the mutant rat's corpse with a flashlight.

Suddenly, a slight sound was heard, as if something was approaching.

Bai Chunyu looked back nervously, but found only a thick fog floating around.

Maybe I heard it wrong, Bai Chunyu thought.

However, at this moment, a cold hand suddenly rested on his shoulder from behind.

Bai Chunyu was startled and his hair stood on end. Without time to think, he suddenly leaped forward and turned around to throw a punch.

However, the punch suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He widened his eyes and looked at the handsome face that was less than an inch away from his fist: "Captain? Why is it you!"

The person who came was Deng Shentong. He tilted his head, with an innocent look and a hint of laxity: "What are you doing here?"

Liao Honglei heard Bai Chunyu's cry and ran over quickly, "What's wrong?"

Then, he saw Deng Shentong standing in front of him unharmed, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh! Captain, you are here after all. It took us a long time to find you..."

Bai Chunyu retracted his fist in disappointment. If that punch had hit that perfect face, not to mention Deng Shentong, he would have regretted it so much that he would have slapped himself a few times.

Why is this guy walking without making any sound?
