Oh wow! After her killing spree, she became the villain's dark moonlight!

"We're surrounded by desolation. Where do we begin? The compass is unusable!"

As soon as Sheng Yan got off the helicopter, she hurriedly looked for her way.

However, they discovered that the compass was completely unusable here.

Ye Xingshu walked to an open space, used a knife to dig through the grassy soil, revealing the top of a round pipe made of some unknown material.

"what is this?"

Yan Feng asked curiously.

Ye Xingshu said, "It's similar to a interference stake."

Needless to say.

There are many of these things buried underground in the entire Ninth District.

Want to dig?

It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven.

"That's ridiculous!" Sheng Yan said angrily, putting away the compass. "We can only rely on primitive methods to determine direction now."

Sheng Yan was not one of those sheltered young ladies who knew nothing about farming and were weak in the knees.

Every year, the Sheng family sends its members to the military for training. They are exposed to more knowledge about jungle survival than ordinary people, but they don't have much practical experience.

“We came from the east,” Sheng Yan immediately walked towards the sun. It was a little past nine in the morning, and the sun was still rising in the east, so there was no need to deliberately try to tell.

Seeing this, Yan Feng humbly asked Sheng Yan for some knowledge.

Ye Xingshu walked behind, cautiously observing her surroundings.

“If we go straight in this direction, we’ll definitely run into them,” Sheng Yan said, turning back. “Young Master Ye, do you think it would be easier if we took a detour?”

Ye Xingshu glanced at the topographic map of District Nine in her hand: "Don't rely too much on maps provided by others."

Sheng Yan immediately understood: "I get it."

You can trust what others provide, but you can't believe everything they say.

Who knows if this person is malicious and trying to play a trick on them?

Perhaps, right now, surveillance cameras flying above District Nine are watching their every move.

Yan Feng tensed up upon hearing Ye Xingshu's words.

“You’ve thought of taking a detour, and so have they,” Ye Xingshu said slowly. “Be prepared to get into a fight.”

Sheng Yan tensed up. "I've been training a lot lately, Young Master Ye. I should be able to protect myself."

She would be more confident if she were outside.

But this is a desert area they are unfamiliar with.

“You have more time than Sheng Nanqiao,” Ye Xingshu said.

However, Sheng Nanqiao has the protagonist's halo, and everything favors her first. Even if she comes from behind, she can still catch up with those who work hard.

The comparison is infuriating.

Sheng Yan lowered her head in shame: "Even so, I am still not as good as her."

“You don’t have Si Du, Gu Hancheng, or any other supporters,” Ye Xingshu squatted down, got some dirt on her, and said, “So there’s no need to feel ashamed.”

Sheng Yan stared at Ye Xingshu and suddenly felt that something was different.

Before, I would never have dared to get so close to Ye Xingshu, who could explode at any moment. Now, it's much easier to get close to Ye Xingshu!

"What?" Ye Xingshu turned to look at her.

“Young Master Ye, I can be your supporter!” Sheng Yan suddenly said.

Ye Xingshu: "No need."

“I know I lack a lot compared to Sheng Nanqiao, and I may not be able to beat her, but I want to give it a try.” Sheng Yan said frankly, “When Young Master Ye takes over the Ye family in the future, I want to represent the Sheng family to support Young Master Ye.”

It is perfectly normal for families to depend on each other.

Otherwise, why would these scions of prominent families learn social skills from a very young age?

Develop your network of contacts from a young age to prepare for the future.

Ye Xingshu glanced at her and said, "I don't have the ability to help you become the head of the Sheng family."

He patted the mud off his hands and turned to look in a different direction.

“Young Master Ye has that kind of ability,” Sheng Yan had confidence in Ye Xingshu: “I will study hard… until I am worthy of Ye Xingshu’s support.”

If someone offers you help, you must have the means to deserve it, not just the protection she promised from the beginning.

This is something she has come to realize during this period.

Ye Xingshu looked at her again: "It's better to rely on yourself than on others, understand?"

"I understand!" Sheng Yan saw hope in Ye Xingshu's words!

This is different from the response he received while in the military.

“Come on,” Ye Xingshu said, pointing to the soil she had just sculpted, “feel the soil, and smell it.”

The two of them picked up some soil, just like she had done, and smelled it.

"Yan Feng, you speak first." Ye Xingshu didn't let Sheng Yan speak.

Yan Feng said uncertainly, "It seems to have a slight rusty smell, mixed with withered grass and other odors."

That's all he can smell.

Ye Xingshu looked at Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan immediately said, "Besides the smell of withered grass and rust, there is also the smell of animals, probably urine or something. The soil feels a bit damp, but you can't feel it if you don't have a good feel for it."

Ye Xingshu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Yan Feng carefully sensed it again.

Indeed, as Sheng Yan said, there was a slight dampness.

"That's not the smell of rust, it's the smell of corrosion," Ye Xingshu said calmly. "Remember this smell, it might save your lives in a critical moment."

The two secretly made a mental note of it.

Ye Xingshu's ears twitched as she heard a faint sound, and she led them in one direction.

Sheng Yan hesitated for a long time before humbly asking, "Young Master Ye, is there something wrong with the taste?"

"Have you heard of swamps?"

"There's a swamp ahead!" Sheng Yan immediately realized, and felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about where they had been heading.

If it weren't for Ye Xingshu's reminder, they wouldn't have been able to get through on their own.

Thinking of something, Sheng Yan pulled out the topographic map, "It clearly shows low hills on this!"

Yan Feng felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. "Xing Shu, you're right. We shouldn't have believed what others provided."

"How do you know I'm not lying to you? What if I did it on purpose?" Ye Xingshu said.

"How could that be? You're our friend." Yan Feng didn't believe Ye Xingshu would lie.

Ye Xingshu turned around and gave a cold smile: "I was just lying to you."

Two people: "..."

Don't do that, they're scared.

Ye Xingshu slowly widened her smile, sending a chill down the spines of the two men.

"Experience it for yourself!"

Before the two could react, Ye Xingshu pushed them out.

He staggered and fell down the grassy slope.

When the two got up, they found that half of their feet were buried, and the ground beneath their feet felt soft and they were sinking further.

"Young Master Ye!" Sheng Yan stared wide-eyed at Ye Xing Shu on the grassy slope, completely bewildered.

Yan Feng was even more deeply affected than Sheng Yan, and fell into the trap even faster.

He looked up at the smiling Ye Xingshu in disbelief, "Xingshu, this is..."

“I told you not to trust people so easily,” Ye Xingshu said with a smile as she squatted down, watching them struggle. “Yan Feng is one thing, but how come you trusted Sheng Yan so readily?”

Sheng Yan: "..."

She never expected Ye Xingshu to pull this stunt.

Aren't they allied teams?

"Find your own way to climb up," Ye Xingshu said, putting two fingers to her lips and whistling.

Behind the two, a dense swarm of insects quickly crawled out!

"what!"

Sheng Yan turned pale with fright and climbed up with all her might.

Yan Feng also tried to crawl forward. Fortunately, they were not stuck too deep. Before the insects could crawl up, the two grabbed each other's hands and pulled themselves out of the mud. They crawled to Ye Xingshu's side in a sorry state and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Young Master Ye...you, you're going to kill us," Sheng Yan was about to cry.

"Is that all you've got?" Ye Xingshu showed no remorse for scaring him so much, and instead became even more aggressive. "Be careful, I might make a move at any time."

The two of them froze simultaneously!

Next, as they walked, Ye Xingshu beat them until their faces were contorted.

Ye Xingshu was really ruthless; she deliberately hit the places that hurt the most.

They didn't need anyone else to deal with them; Ye Xingshu had already killed them.

The two were no match for Ye Xingshu and could only endure it with tears in their eyes.

Before I knew it, it was evening.

The nights in the desolate areas are especially dark and dangerous.

Especially since Ye Xingshu is watching them from behind, his attacks will either involve choking them or dislocating their arms and legs and then putting them back on.

Yan Feng fared even worse, constantly being attacked in vital areas. By the end of the day, he was traumatized by Ye Xingshu.

"Why aren't you asleep?" Ye Xingshu sat in front of the fire, the flames distorting her beautiful face.

Both of them, their bodies straining with pain and exhaustion, forced their eyelids open and shook their heads vigorously.

Who would dare to sleep there?

They'd be attacked even while walking; they'd probably be sleeping forever once they closed their eyes.

Ye Xingshu wouldn't show mercy just because they were in cahoots; she really went all out.

Ye Xingshu stood up with a smile.

The two reacted instinctively, startled, "Where are you going?"

"Release the water."

Two people: "..."

*

Ye Xingshu sat by the fire for a while, but still didn't return.

"Could something have happened to Xing Shu?" Yan Feng asked worriedly.

"...Should we go take a look?" Sheng Yan hesitated.

What if Ye Xingshu has set a trap for them ahead?

Yan Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go take a look."

Sheng Yan forced herself to get up.

Suddenly, she stiffened up: "Yan Feng, can you feel it? It seems like there are many eyes watching us from the shadows."

Yan Feng felt a chill run down his spine and swallowed hard, saying, "It looks like a wild beast..."

Several large snakes, gleaming with a cold light, rushed towards them from several directions.

The two were so frightened that their hair stood on end!

"Fuck!"

"run!"

The two of them ran away.

Ye Xingshu stood in the shadows, grinning with a sinister and eerie smile!

"Keep playing around," Ye Xingshu said, turning around and running back the way she came.

With her swift movements, she met the figure who had come out alone in front of her in less than half an hour. "Hancheng, we really are on the same wavelength."

Taking advantage of the darkness, Gu Hancheng temporarily broke away from Sheng Nanqiao's group, wanting to find Ye Xingshu alone.

"Xing Shu, I never intended to take your life from the very beginning..."

"Stop talking nonsense," Ye Xingshu kicked Ling Han, sending him flying several meters back. "Kong Qingyou is using a drone to monitor my movements up there?"

She walked towards Gu Hancheng while talking and laughing.

Through the darkness of night, Gu Hancheng looked at Ye Xingshu's smile again, and it became exceptionally chilling.

Gu Hancheng didn't know how Ye Xingshu guessed it, but he didn't admit it. "You brought Nan Qiao in under this pretext, what are you ultimately trying to do? Take her life?"

"You came at the call, wasn't it also to use this as an excuse to pin me down here and kill me, so you could explain it to the Ye family?"

Not only did they get their revenge, but they also had an easy excuse to use.

If someone dies in a wilderness, the responsibility naturally falls on wild animals and the environment.

"Since you knew there was something watching from above, didn't you ever consider that there might be something else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xingshu paused in her steps. A circle of drones surrounded her head, their flashing red dots all aimed at her.

Gu Hancheng looked at Ye Xingshu with complicated emotions. He clenched his fists, forcing himself to step back, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "For the sake of our years of friendship, Xingshu, I will leave you with a whole corpse."
