Chapter 187: Not Sleeping
There are many zombie animals in this forest. Basically, there are zombie animals every few dozen meters.
While dealing with these zombie animals, Lin Fan kept scanning the surroundings, and what he observed the most was the trees.
Because all the animals running on the ground have undergone corpse transformation, there is a very small chance of encountering animals that are still alive.
In this way, he has a smaller chance of collecting mutagenic factors.
But the situation is different in trees.
The probability of normal living animals appearing in trees is obviously much higher than on the ground.
Therefore, there is a higher chance of finding alive mutated animals in trees.
Maybe it's because this place is still on the outskirts of the forest. Even though there are a lot of zombie animals here, there are very few animals moving in the trees.
From just now to now, Lin Fan has discovered no more than a dozen in total.
There are no evolved animals among these dozen, so naturally there are no mutagenic factors.
The three of them continued to move deeper into the forest, and after a few hours, they slowed down.
"Brother Lin Fan, it will be dark in a while. Should we go out tonight or stay here?" Murong Shan raised her head and glanced at the sky. At this time, the sun was already hanging on the horizon, and only the afterglow of the setting sun shone over her.
"If you don't go out, just stay inside." Lin Fan quickly answered.
"Are we setting up a tent on the ground?" Murong Shan asked.
When they came in from the outside, they had already prepared tents and brought a total of two tents, one for Murong Xue and Murong Shan, and one for Lin Fan alone.
It would be inconvenient if the three of them slept together.
Lin Fan was nothing like a grown man, but Murong Xue and Murong Shan were still girls, so it was better to sleep separately.
"Not on the ground."
Lin Fan shook his head and said: "The forest is not as good as the mountains. If we are on the mountains, we can also go to caves or something. But if we set up tents on the ground in the forest, if we are killed by a group of corpses at night, If they surround us, we will be in great danger, and we may not have time to retreat and fight out."
As he spoke, Lin Fan raised his head and said, "Tonight, let's just stay in the tree, and the three of us will take turns. Rest, while the two sleep, one looks at the surrounding situation to prevent animals in the tree from coming."
"Will you fall if you rest in the tree?" Murong Shan's eyes widened.
"Find a good place to lean on. If you don't move around, you won't fall." Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Then shall we go up now?" Murong Shan asked.
"Wait a little longer, wait until it gets completely dark before going up. Now you can continue walking forward." Lin Fan said.
The three of them continued to walk forward for a certain distance, killing many zombie animals along the way.
When it got completely dark, Lin Fan pointed to the big tree not far ahead and said, "We will rest on that tree tonight."
That tree did not exist alone, but was close to another tree. Together, there is an intersection between the trunks of the two trees, which not only makes it easier for them to find a trunk to rest against, but also makes it easier to cover them and help them hide.
Murong Xue and Murong Shan had no different opinions on the place Lin Fan chose, and the three of them walked towards the tree.
Roar!
Two zombie animals suddenly sprang out from behind the tree trunk. When the roar spread, they rushed towards Lin Fan and the others.
Lin Fan's eyes narrowed and he was the first to lock eyes on the heads of the two zombie animals. He quickly waved his halberd in his hand and the two heads flew away, spilling blood all over the floor.
"Brother Lin Fan, you react so quickly!" Murong Shan praised.
"Not bad." Lin Fan smiled slightly.
After getting rid of the two zombie animals, Lin Fan and the others climbed up the tree without any further delay.
Murong Xue and Murong Shan were both powerful evolvers. For them, climbing trees was not a problem for them, and they quickly climbed onto the tree trunk.
"Sister, just rest here!" Murong Shan said.
"Yeah." Murong Xue nodded.
There are many intersections between trunks and branches at this location, so there is no problem in bearing them.
"You guys rest, I'll keep an eye on you first, and I'll wake you up when I feel sleepy." Lin Fan put his backpack aside and looked at Murong Xue and Murong Shan.
Murong Xue looked at Lin Fan and said, "Do you want to watch alone all night without informing us?"
After hearing what Murong Xue said, Murong Shan also reacted and said quickly: "That's right, Brother Lin Fan, you You must think so, right?"
Lin Fan did indeed think so, but he would definitely not admit it at this time. He smiled and shook his head and said, "How is that possible? The environment we are in now is very dangerous. If we don't keep a good mental state at all times, You might not be able to handle it when the time comes."
He said this, but Lin Fan still had no intention of waking up Murong Xue and Murong Shan.
Maybe the ring brought him some benefits and made him feel in a very good state of mind, even if he didn't sleep for two consecutive nights.
Of course, this is to let Murong Xue and Murong Xun get used to the environment here first. After they get used to it, if they still need to take turns watching, they still have to ask Murong Xue and Murong Shan to help.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to support it alone, and safety is the main prerequisite for everything.
"Okay, then Xiaoshan and I will rest first. After three hours, you call me and I will let you rest. I will call Xiaoshan after another three hours." Murong Xue said.
"No problem." Lin Fan nodded.
Seeing Lin Fan nodding, Murong Xue and Murong Xian felt relieved. Then the two sisters didn't waste any more time and began to rest against the tree.
After working hard all day, the two sisters' physical strength was almost exhausted. Although they were leaning against the tree, they fell asleep quickly.
Lin Fan looked at them and quickly looked away. Murong Xue and Murong Shan were in a good position. As long as they didn't move too much while sleeping, they would not fall under the tree.
The night in the forest is not very quiet, especially on the ground below, there are always traces of corpse-turned-animal movements.
These zombie animals roared from time to time. Fortunately, the roar was not too loud, so it would not wake up Murong Xue and Murong Shan.
That night, both Murong Xue and Murong Shan slept soundly, but Lin Fan did not wake them up.
When the two sisters woke up from their sleep, they found that it was already daylight.
"Are you awake? Did you sleep well?" Lin Fan immediately looked at them and asked with a smile.
"Brother Lin Fan! You didn't call us!" Murong Shan came out of her hazy state and asked Lin Fan with a pouted mouth.
"I'm in good spirits. I'm not drowsy, so I didn't wake you up." Lin Fan said.
"You haven't closed your eyes all night?" Murong Xue asked.
"No, I really didn't fall asleep." Lin Fan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Let's eat something first and then continue our journey."
