end of ten days.

Holding an old aluminum pot, the two kept walking through the city.

Qi Xia never imagined that a city without lights would be darker than the wilderness.

After only ten minutes of walking, the sky became as silent as ink.

The rustling sounds of insects all around echoed each other, disturbing Qi Xia.

"Lingo, are you still there?" Qi Xia asked.

"I'm still here." Ringo replied, "Go slowly, and be careful not to fall."

"It can't be any slower." Qi Xia looked at the sky, "I can barely see the road now, we have to get to the convenience store as soon as possible, you grab my clothes."

Ling Po nodded, reached out and grabbed Qi Xia's clothes.

Relying on memory, the two walked for about 10 minutes before finally arriving at the square they had arrived at before.

Fortunately, the field of vision here is open, and the outline can be seen clearly.

Entering the square and walking eastward, the two saw a store with lights on.

That should be the location of the convenience store.

"There's a fire..." Lin Po was a little puzzled, "How did they find the source of the fire?"

After she finished speaking, she realized that there was a female shop assistant in the store. When everyone met her, she was lighting a fire and cooking. It is estimated that the source of the fire was borrowed from her.

The two walked towards the fire in the darkness, and finally came to the door of the convenience store.

What surprised the two of them was that there was a tauren standing in the restaurant opposite the convenience store, but it had disappeared at this moment.

"Officer Li, Lawyer Zhang, are you there?" Lin Po asked tentatively, "Xiao Ran, Doctor Zhao?"

There was obviously movement in the house, but no one answered.

"what happened?"

Lin Po just wanted to go in and have a look, but was stopped by Qi Xia.

"Stay back, I'll go first." He whispered to Ringo.

Accompanied by the rustling sound of insects, the two entered the shop.

But when Qi Xia just stepped into the gate, a wooden plank flew towards his face.

Fortunately, Qi Xia was prepared, and immediately dodged backwards, narrowly dodging the fatal blow.

"Ah...!" Lin Po exclaimed, and quickly supported Qi Xia, "Are you alright?"

Only then did they see clearly that the person holding the board in the room was none other than Dr. Zhao, with Xiao Ran following behind him.

Doctor Zhao looked at Qi Xia, then at Lin Po, and then forced a smile, and said, "Ah! So it's you two... I thought who it was..."

Qi Xia looked at the two of them carefully, with a slightly puzzled expression on their faces.

Dr. Zhao was naked in a white coat, without even shoes. He wrapped the white coat around his body like a windbreaker, and his expression was very unnatural.

Behind him, Xiao Ran's hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and his makeup was gone.

The two cuddled together like a young couple who had been robbed.

Qi Xia understood the situation in front of him, but he didn't know why it happened.

"Qi, Qi Xia, don't misunderstand..." Dr. Zhao said with a smile on his face, "Xiao Ran said that she seems to be injured, and I'm helping her check."

"What are you explaining to him?!" Xiao Ran poked Dr. Zhao with his elbow, "Humbling, are you still a man?"

Qi Xia shook his head: "I don't want to take care of your business, where are Police Officer Li and Lawyer Zhang?"

"Ah..." Dr. Zhao showed an embarrassed smile again, "The two of them went out during the day to check the surrounding situation, and they haven't come back yet."

"What?" Qi Xia frowned, "Haven't you come back yet?"

It was completely dark now, and Officer Li said that he would investigate the surrounding area, so it was unlikely that the two of them would stay outside.

I haven't come back now, is it dead?

Or...these two are lying?

Qi Xia walked into the room slowly, and looked around the situation.

Although the ground was still very messy, there seemed to be no fresh blood, let alone signs of fighting.

A weak bonfire was lit in the house, and Han Yimo's body was placed not far away, making the atmosphere both ambiguous and strange.

Qi Xia looked back at the guilty two, and asked slowly: "Aren't you a team? Both of them didn't come back after dark, so instead of worrying, you are here to play leisurely?"

"It...it's useless to worry about it." Dr. Zhao said, "It's so dark, we can't go out to look for it, we can only wait for dawn..."

"Can you control it?!" Xiao Ran yelled angrily, "When will it be your turn to worry about the people in our team?"

Qi Xia didn't answer, walked to the staff lounge, and gently opened the door.

Inside the house, the female shop assistant was squatting in the corner, facing the wall, muttering something to herself.

It seems that she has been here without moving.

Qi Xia closed the door and looked back at Dr. Zhao. After all, Dr. Zhao can still communicate.

"Is the Tao still here? "Qi Xia asked.

"This..." Doctor Zhao's expression was obviously a little defensive, "Qi Xia, what are you guys doing here?"

"I'm here to borrow the Tao." "Qi Xia said, "I want to borrow the "Tao" that I put here during the day, and return it double afterwards. "

"Borrow" way? "Doctor Zhao thought for a moment, then looked at Qi Xia's even messier clothes with a few traces of blood on them, "Where is your own "Tao"?"What about the punk and whore? "

"They have names." Ringo said suddenly, "Don't call them that."

"Oh..." Doctor Zhao nodded perfunctorily.

"What kind of memorial archway to set up..." Xiao Ran wrapped his clothes and walked up, "The two of them couldn't have participated in a game and then died, right?"

Qi Xia's complexion was heavy, and she nodded slightly: "Almost."

"Ha!" Xiao Ran laughed angrily, and said jokingly, "Didn't you promise to collect [-] "Taos" and leave here?Now that you have killed your teammates, come to borrow our "Tao" again? "

After hearing this, Qi Xia raised his eyelids, looked at the woman, and said calmly: "Although the situation is true, I advise you to stop in moderation."

Doctor Zhao hurried up to smooth things over: "Forget it, let's talk about it..."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Qi Xia: "It's not that we don't want to lend it to you, but that Officer Li took the "Tao" away..."

"Take it away?" Qi Xia paused.

"That's right." Dr. Zhao pointed to the restaurant opposite the door and said, "After you left, the two of them went there to participate in the game and seemed to win. Then they went to other places."

Qi Xia followed Dr. Zhao's fingers, and soon found something suspicious: "What does it mean to "seem" to win?You are so close that you don't even know if they won or not? "

"This..." Dr. Zhao frowned and laughed a few times, "Originally Xiao Ran didn't let them take the "Tao" out, but Officer Li insisted on going to see...they had different ideas and had an argument. There is no way to ask, so let them go.After all, who wants to be with them in this kind of death..."

"Let...they go?"

Qi Xia's eyes widened instantly after hearing this, and he grabbed Dr. Zhao's collar with great strength.

"Ouch?"

Xiao Ran was taken aback after seeing it, and rushed towards Qi Xia: "What are you doing?!"

Qi Xia turned sideways, then stretched out his foot and tripped, Xiao Ran immediately fell to the ground, and fell a real "dog eats shit" on the filthy ground.

Qi Xia took a deep breath, and said viciously to Dr. Zhao: "For the sake of Police Officer Li, I was polite to you, but you guys actually parted ways?!"
