Chapter 17 Lighting a Bonfire

Under the endless darkness of the wilderness, the cold wind blew, leaving only scattered firelights in the distance.

Under the boundless starry sky, Zhao Guangli shivered.

This is the Great Plains.

One of the largest plains in human territory, it seems to have no borders.

There is absolutely no end in sight.

Under the dark night sky, looking into such a distance is a very despairing thing.

Without saying a word, Shen He put Zhao Guangli down and put his silver-white sniper rifle behind his back.

The metal box used to store the firearms had been lost in the previous battle.

Zhao Guangli lowered his right hand and let the cold wind blow by.

"Major Shen He, what should we do now."

Zhao Guangli's voice broke the calm between the two.

Shen He seemed to have just realized what she was doing. There was some sadness and exhaustion between her eyebrows.

The female officer raised her head and looked around.

"It looks like I'm stuck in a quagmire."

"This is a plain of thousands of miles, an uninhabited no man's land."

Shen He's voice sounded in the darkness.

"Without Alliance transportation, there is no way to leave from here."

The wet ground felt muddy when you stepped on it, as if it had just rained here.

"Can we go back the way we came?"

At this moment, Zhao Guangli said in a deep voice and put forward his own suggestions.

Shen He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Guangli: "Actually, do you remember where we came from?"

When Zhao Guangli heard this question, he was about to answer, but got stuck.

"The Great Plains of Ten Thousand Miles is one of the largest plains within the entire Human Alliance. The border connects the two disaster areas [Falled Kingdom] and [Slaughterhouse]. However, there are almost no military forces on the side of the Great Plains of these two areas. Zhao Guangli, who is stationed there, do you know why this is?"

Shen He's voice revealed unstoppable fatigue. She pressed her slender fingers on her brow, and her cold and delicate face turned pale.

Shen He did not wait for Zhao Guangli's answer, but looked at the darkness in the distance and continued talking to himself: "Because the Wanli Plain is a natural huge barrier that isolates those monsters from the outside."

"Unless it is the alliance's standard equipment, any life on the Wanli Plain will be lost here."

Shen He patted the dust on his body and stepped lightly on the ground. His slender legs still looked delicate and attractive.

"Zhao Guangli."

"ah?"

Zhao Guangli was inexplicably called by this powerful female officer, but the voice was not too loud.

Shen He turned around: "Sorry."

"Originally, I wanted you to go to the disaster area with me, but now it seems that it was my problem that caused you to encounter the current situation."

Shen He looked at Zhao Guangli with a serious expression.

Zhao Guangli shook his head: "Major Shen He, this is not your problem, but..."

"my choice."

At this moment, a fierce strong wind blew. On the plain with almost no shelter, Shen He stood upright and frowned.

Twenty minutes later, the boy and the female officer sat behind the huge mound and lit a bonfire.

The temperature difference between day and night in the Wanli Plain is very large. At this moment, at midnight, the temperature in the entire air has dropped to very low.

Even on a summer night like this.

As for the method of igniting this flame, it is also simply a bit surprising.

Shen He personally demonstrated a certain ability of the construction mage, gunpowder diffusion.

He snapped his fingers, and along with a small explosion, the flames burned, making a Bibo sound.

All Zhao Guangli had to do was to add some dry wood to the bonfire.

Zhao Guangli felt the sound of burning flames, and for a moment he didn't know what he wanted to write.

If I hadn't left the Black Iron Castle, with my apprenticeship level, I would have been able to sleep peacefully on a big, soft bed instead of here.

Zhao Guangli pulled on his windbreaker and pushed down his deerstalker hat so that he could stay warmer.

It's just a few.

Through the burning bonfire, the female officer in the other section has remained silent since just now, and she has an expression as if everyone owes her money.

She sat quietly by the bonfire, wrapping her legs, just like that.

Zhao Guangli used his peripheral vision and looked at Shen He very seriously for the first time.

He looks about twenty-five years old, and without the military uniform, he might be even younger.

In her previous life, she looked like a female college student who had just graduated.

That delicate and beautiful face has no emotion at all, but gives people a gentle and special beauty.

It is hard to believe that such a girl is actually a military professional with such powerful combat power.

Shen He stretched out his hand and threw a dry branch into the bonfire.

Zhao Guangli was stunned and quickly stopped: "Major, these are wet branches. It's best not to put them in. It would be better to use these dry branches as much as possible."

Shen He raised his head and looked at Zhao Guangli in confusion, his expression even a little honest at this moment: "Is that so?"

Zhao Guangli nodded.

Shen He turned to look at the burning bonfire.

The bonfire in front of me, on the dark plain, was like a small boat that could capsize at any time.

"Zhao Guangli."

Shen He suddenly said at this moment: "What was the reason why you didn't come that day?"

The change of topic was a bit abrupt, Zhao Guangli thought so, but he didn't mind.

"Major Shen He, have you seen that woman?"

Shen He recalled: "You mean that..."

"Gu Xintong."

Zhao Guangli said calmly: "She attacked me the night before."

"oh."

Shen He's reaction was even duller than Zhao Guangli expected.

"Actually, I've already thought of it."

Shen He buried his head in his knees: "There is nothing new in this world."

"I saw paranoia, pathology, and strength from that girl... It reminded me of those who came today..."

At this point, Shen He's voice stopped.

"People from the Dark Order."

"People like this are most easily influenced by the teachings of the Dark Order."

"Just like thunder and lightning in nature, there is a very small probability that it will become a dark thunder with a terrifying color."

Shen He raised his head slightly.

Zhao Guangli had a complicated look in his eyes, and he sighed.

The Garden Team led by Shen He was completely wiped out in this incident, which seemed to have a great impact on her.

Shen He seemed to attribute all the fundamental problems to himself.

Official professionals who came from outside attacked him and held him back, leading to a tragedy.

Zhao Guangli could tell that this was what Shen He thought.

"Major."

Zhao Guangli felt that he needed to boost Shen He's morale now. After all, the two of them were in the same boat now. If he wanted to leave the Wanli Plain, he could rely not only on himself, but also on the military commander next to him. Strong.

"What are we going to do next? No matter what, we'd better leave this place first and figure out what to do next."

Before the bonfire in the dark night, Zhao Guangli looked at the female officer and said very seriously.
