Chapter 66: Chapter 66 The Wheel of Fate

“Zhi Qi, should we start a fire?”

Wen Shi’s voice reached Fang Xiaocao’s ears.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao was startled.

Looking up, she saw that the campsite was already set up.

On a not-so-large clearing, two simple tents were placed side by side, and around the campsite, a string of small bells for alerts hung.

The two simple tents could barely accommodate six girls, and although it was a bit crowded, they at least provided shelter against the wind and rain, better than sleeping in the open air.

Now, the only thing the campsite was missing was a campfire for cooking.

They did have food supplies in their backpacks.

Wen Shi’s suggestion was quite timely.

But Fang Xiaocao’s heart suddenly tightened.

It’s coming!

The moment of encountering the Scar-faced Monster had arrived.

In the original timeline, it was supposed to be her who made this suggestion, but now, after suddenly fainting and deliberately avoiding the issue, she wanted to see if it would diverge from the encounter with the Scar-faced Monster.

After all, besides ingredients, their backpacks contained items like bread, compressed biscuits, and ham, which meant they could still eat without making a fire.

However…

Clearly, the inertia of fate was powerful.

You can try to change your own future, but you can’t influence the turn of fate’s wheel.

The things that are about to happen will still occur, even if you don’t do them; fate will naturally arrange for someone else to do them.

It was like the elderly couple in the Axi incident; even though Fang Xiaocao had exposed Axi, she still couldn’t stop the turn of fate’s wheel and change the couple’s tragic death. @@novelbin@@

Although Axi died prematurely.

It seems that in the next five years, those victims who would have been killed by Axi might not have to die.

But who could guarantee…

That they would indeed survive?

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaocao sighed.

Fang Xiaocao stood up and walked toward that area.

“It would be dangerous to split up rashly.”

“Let’s not go collect firewood then,” said Fang Xiaocao.

She wasn’t sure she could defeat the Scar-faced Monster.

If it was possible to avoid the encounter, then it was best to do so.

“We still need to collect the firewood!”

“It’s not safe without a campfire at night,” Zhi Qi said sternly.

Fang Xiaocao knew Zhi Qi was right.

Would avoiding collecting firewood really prevent the encounter with the Scar-faced Monster?

In that timeline, the people from that organization had perfectly replicated their entire team, except for her and Yun Luoshu’s doubles.

Moreover, her and Yun Luoshu’s clothes had been changed; it was clear that someone had worn their clothes and left the team.

Could those two who left have been their doubles?

Clearly, they had premeditated plans to look for an opportunity to replace one or more people from their group, or even the entire team, at random.

So, even if they didn’t go collect firewood, those from that organization might still come for a night raid, taking control of their entire group, or killing them.

And without a campfire, wild animals prowling the forest at night might pose a greater danger than the Scar-faced Monster.

“Okay then, Luoshu and I will go,” Fang Xiaocao said with a smile, having thought it through.

“No, you’re too weak,” Zhi Qi replied gravely, hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words.

“Yeah, Xiaocao,”

“You need to rest properly,”

“Luoshu and I will go collect it instead,” Wen Shi said, looking at Fang Xiaocao with concern.

Hearing Wen Shi’s words, Fang Xiaocao felt helpless.

There was no way to refute, absolutely no way.

Fang Xiaocao blinked her eyes, then a thought suddenly struck her.

“How could I forget about her!”

Fang Xiaocao mused as she looked at Wan Xiaozhou.

The organization had also replicated Wan Xiaozhou.

This meant Wan Xiaozhou wasn’t with them.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The mysterious and unpredictable Wan Xiaozhou could perhaps become a central force against the mysterious organization.

“Why not let Xiaozhou and Luoshu go?” Fang Xiaocao suggested with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wan Xiaozhou glanced at Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao responded with a smile.

“Xiaozhou shouldn’t refuse, right?”

Fang Xiaocao asked with a smile.

“Sure!”

Wan Xiaozhou raised an eyebrow and nodded.

“Then I’ll leave it to Xiaozhou.”

Fang Xiaocao said, smiling.

Wan Xiaozhou nodded and walked toward the forest.

“I could have…”

Watching the retreating figures of Wan Xiaozhou and Yun Luoshu, Wen Shi pouted and grumbled discontentedly.

“You couldn’t!”

Fang Xiaocao tapped Wen Shi’s forehead and laughed.

“Hmph!”

Wen Shi huffed indignantly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao smiled.

Fang Xiaocao knew that Wen Shi just wanted to do something within his power.

Looking into the depths of the forest, Fang Xiaocao reached into the pocket of her jacket and gripped the switchblade tight.

Fang Xiaocao wanted to see the strength of Wan Xiaozhou.

Even if Wan Xiaozhou and Yun Luoshu were captured by Scar-faced Monster, they wouldn’t be in danger right away.

So Fang Xiaocao wasn’t planning to go into the woods to help.

Fang Xiaocao entered a simple tent, lay down in the sleeping bag, and began to recover her energy while waiting for Wan Xiaozhou and Yun Luoshu to return.

…

Elsewhere!

Yu Tianqi, pulling Yu Ling along, was running frantically through the mountain forest.

The expressions of the siblings were full of fear.

They occasionally looked back, afraid something might suddenly catch up with them.

“Brother, I can’t run anymore…”

Yu Ling said, gasping for breath.

“Big brother will carry you!”

Yu Tianqi said sternly.

He was also exhausted, but he dared not stop.

Just moments ago, they had seen Xiaochen…

The Xiaochen who was already dead.

Xiaochen had actually come looking for them!

In the night-shrouded forest, witnessing the return of the departed was nothing short of terrifying!

Xiaochen appeared lifelike, but his expression was very strange.

He kept recounting what had happened to him after separating from the siblings.

This scared the wits out of Yu Ling.

Yu Tianqi’s heart was also trembling.

Although Yu Tianqi didn’t believe in ghosts,

he couldn’t give himself a rational explanation to soothe his rapidly beating heart.

He couldn’t explain Xiaochen’s return, either.

While Xiaochen wasn’t too close, Yu Tianqi grabbed Yu Ling and ran.

Xiaochen chased after them like a specter.

With Yu Tianqi’s martial arts-trained hearing, he couldn’t even detect Xiaochen’s footsteps.

This made Yu Tianqi even more terrified.

“Tianqi brother, Lingling sister, what are you running for?”

A gloomy voice sounded from behind them.

As the siblings turned their heads, they saw Xiaochen had somehow appeared behind them, smiling at them ominously.

To the siblings, that smile seemed incredibly eerie and terrifying!

Without a moment’s thought, Yu Tianqi picked up Yu Ling and ran as fast as he could.

“Tianqi brother, wait for me~”

Xiaochen’s shadowy figure said, laughing softly.

“Chen Xi, are you human or a ghost!”

Yu Ling screamed, lying on Yu Tianqi’s back.

“Me?”

“Of course, I’m human~”

Xiaochen replied, all smiles.

Hearing the sound close to her ear, Yu Ling turned her head and saw Xiaochen’s pale face right before her eyes.

He was shockingly close!

“Ah~”

Yu Ling let out a piercing scream.
