Jiang Ran took several photos of this beautiful scenery himself.
Of course, his more direct feeling about the sunset was that as the sun went down, the temperature dropped.
The surroundings began to turn chilly.
"Alright, that's about enough, let's hurry back to camp, we still haven't prepared dinner yet!"
Everyone had pretty much finished taking photos and admiring the view.
Fatty suggested they could leave now, not waiting until it was completely dark when it would beco inconvenient.
The group was ready to leave when suddenly, there was a fluttering sound behind them.
Everyone turned around and saw a flock of small black birds flying across the distant sky, probably wanting to return to their nests before complete darkness fell, just like them.
Jiang Ran's group returned to camp around 6:30 PM.
It wasn't completely dark yet.
As they approached the camp, they caught a whiff of a fragrant aroma.
When they reached the camp.
They discovered that Zhong Hui had already prepared dinner.
Fatty let out a "Wow" and praised Zhong Hui several tis in a row.
Saying things like: "If I were a woman, I'd definitely want to marry you."
It wasn't just Fatty.
Even the short guy, the freckled girl, and several others were praising Zhong Hui.
Because they had all assud they would need to cook when they returned, never expecting soone had already prepared it for them.
Facing everyone's complints, Zhong Hui only managed to force a faint smile.
"Hey, Wang Haoran and that Liu Sha still haven't returned?"
Jiang Weixin walked around the camp and discovered those two actually hadn't co back yet.
Wang Qin, perhaps traumatized by the white-masked man with the axe.
She said nervously: "Could it be they also encountered that white-masked man with the axe? And then..."
Jiang Weixin chuckled dismissively and told Wang Qin not to spread panic here.
"Hey, Brother Jiang, the food is ready now, should we wait for Wang Haoran and the others to return?"
Fatty had already washed the bowls.
Jiang Weixin sneered coldly: "Hmph, he thinks pretty highly of himself, having so many people wait for just the two of them."
"Don't worry about them, let's eat first. It's not like there won't be food when they return anyway."
"I'll send him a ssage now telling him to co back for dinner."
And so, these people didn't wait for Wang Haoran and the other one, and started eating.
Jiang Ran ate relatively quickly.
Mainly because there were too many mosquitoes and insects.
After finishing his al, he took so mosquito repellent spray and sprayed it around the camp periter.
At this mont, Wang Qingzhao sohow produced a bag of snake repellent powder from sowhere.
She asked Jiang Ran to sprinkle it in a circle around the camp periter.
Jiang Ran looked at this bag of snake repellent powder, which was covered in Japanese text and was a product from Cherry Blossom Country.
"In wilderness like this, there are too many snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It wouldn't be good if soone got bitten by a snake, especially a venomous one."
Wang Qingzhao said with a faint smile.
It had to be said, Wang Qingzhao was very thorough in her considerations.
She had prepared everything.
So Jiang Ran took this unopened bag of snake repellent powder and began sprinkling it.
The snake repellent powder was yellow.
By the ti Jiang Ran finished sprinkling and returned, after washing his hands.
The others had mostly finished eating too.
Fatty had also finished eating by this ti, picking his teeth with a toothpick in his right hand while pulling out his phone with his left hand to check the ti, exclaiming in surprise:
"Damn, it's already 7:09 PM! Could those two have really gone missing?!"
Yes, at this ti, Wang Haoran and the other person still hadn't returned.
Jiang Weixin took out his phone and checked the ssage he had previously sent to Wang Haoran, which Wang Haoran hadn't replied to.
He then took out his phone and called Wang Haoran's number.
But on the other end, it kept ringing with no answer.
"Can't get through, you all try too."
Others who had Wang Haoran's number also took out their phones and called Wang Haoran.
But the results were all the sa - no answer.
By now, the sky had turned dusky.
The originally deep and secluded mountain forest during dayti now appeared even more sinister when looking into the distance.
Who knew what might be waiting for them within the mountain forest.
"Maybe we should send people out to look for them? In case sothing happened."
The group waited at the camp for a while longer, but they still didn't return.
Fatty stood up and proposed.
The short guy was the first to stand up in agreent: "I also think we should go out and search. After all, we all ca out together, it would be too heartless to just abandon them like this."
Wang Qingzhao also expressed agreent.
anwhile, Jiang Weixin stared at the pitch-black surroundings without modern lighting.
He said: "I won't stop you if you want to go look for him. How about this - Wang Qin and I will stay behind to guard the camp."
"After all, in case they return, soone should be here to inform you."
Everyone could tell Jiang Weixin clearly didn't want to go searching.
However, what he said made sense too.
The camp indeed needed people to stay behind.
And so, everyone began dividing into teams, preparing to search for traces of those two people.
Fatty, the short guy, and his fiancée the ordinary girl ford one team.
Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao ford another team.
Zhong Hui and the freckled girl ford the third team.
Before setting out, all three teams equipped themselves with gear for nightti movent.
Additionally, Wang Qingzhao filled small bags with snake repellent powder and distributed them to everyone, telling them to hang it on their persons.
And so.
The three teams began searching in a fan-shaped pattern in the direction that Wang Haoran and Liu Sha had taken when they left during the day.
Only Jiang Weixin and Wang Qin remained in the camp.
The two sat in the central area of the camp.
Between them was a very bright outdoor camping light.
Illuminating their faces clearly.
After Jiang Ran and the others left, the lively camp instantly fell silent.
Wang Qin involuntarily pressed herself tightly against Jiang Weixin.
Her arms tightly hugging his right arm.
Jiang Weixin told Wang Qin not to hug so tightly, but Wang Qin refused to let go.
Jiang Weixin sneered coldly: "You couldn't possibly still be shaken up from being scared by that masked man during the day?"
Wang Qin shot him a reproachful glance, a glance that was absolutely seductive.
"Of course I am! Under normal circumstances, being scared is just being scared, but at that mont, when you and I were almost reaching the peak, and suddenly that person appeared..."
"By the way, this thing of yours, it wasn't scared into not working properly, was it?"
Wang Qin grabbed hold of sothing.
Jiang Weixin grinned mischievously: "Why don't you test it and find out?"
"This, this isn't really appropriate, is it? What if they co back at this mont, it would be awkward."
"Don't worry, they won't be back for a long ti."
"Co on, let's go to my tent."
Jiang Weixin's tent was very expensive, spacious, and extrely sturdy.
It was fully capable of climbing mountains several thousand ters high.
After the two entered the tent, they zipped up the tent flap.
Like dry wood eting fierce fire, they ignited instantly.
And while the two were getting extrely heated.
They were completely unaware that a figure was gradually approaching their tent.
That figure wore a red and black checkered shirt.
On his face was a white mask.
In his right hand was a sharp axe, gleaming coldly.
The white-masked man stepped carefully, gradually approaching Jiang Weixin's expensive tent.
When he got close, he suddenly ripped open the tent zipper with a tearing sound.
Then, raising the axe, he chopped down inside.
