Li Yu told Aila the result of the friendly communication with Aila in the stronghold.

During the intervals between speaking, Li Yu would look up from time to time.

The large screen on the ceiling showed that the noble young man and his entourage were all standing there, not even moving much, let alone looking for the rifle that had been thrown away.

After listening, Ella concluded: "Then shall we set off tonight, or wait until tomorrow morning?"

Li Yu: "Let's get up tomorrow morning and have a good rest tonight. To be honest, I'm quite tired now."

After a whole day of danger and running around, when the situation settled down, fatigue surged up like a tide, making him feel like his eyelids were starting to fight.

Ella: "Are you a little sleepy? But now you can actually control your heartbeat and blood pressure to dispel drowsiness. In the future, after injecting more nanomachines and doing some optimization, you can also directly control hormone secretion, so you can be awake for two or three days without any problem.

.”

Li Yu waved his hand: "No, let me rest. I just want to lie down now."

After saying that, he took off his coat and robe, leaving only his underwear on, and flopped down on the bed.

Ella pulled the backpack open from the inside: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet, you can't sleep!"

Li Yu had already closed his eyes: "My body temperature has begun to drop, and I will fall asleep within three seconds."

"Wait a minute!" Ella yelled, "There will be people traveling with me starting tomorrow, so I can't talk to you directly, so I just found a headset... did you hear me?"

Li Yu's eyes were closed and he remained motionless, with only his chest rising and falling slightly with his slow breathing.

He has already fallen asleep.

"I have found the earphones, but I have to try to see if the nanomachines in your body can power them..." After finding that the boy was unresponsive, Ella could only sigh, "Okay, okay, you go to sleep first.

Let’s wait until you wake up.”

The room was quiet for a while.

Suddenly, Ella's voice sounded again. But now her tone was a little different from before, and she became much colder:

"There's no need to be so anxious. I'll tell him tomorrow morning and it will be the same."

————

Outside the stronghold, only a few dozen meters apart, the six people had no room to sleep at this time.

The aristocratic young man Yiai stood there with his head lowered, staring intently at the endlessly dancing bonfire.

The captain of the guard next to him suddenly asked: "Your Highness, should we pick up the gun?"

Yiai raised his head and shook his head quickly: "No, no! What if the mage notices me?"

Captain of the Guard: "But if you don't even have a gun by your side, we won't be able to protect you if a wild beast comes."

Yiai thought for a while, but still shook his head: "There is a bonfire here, and wild beasts will not approach rashly. I can't bear the risk of angering that mage."

"Oh... okay." The captain of the guard sighed and said no more.

As a person who has served in the Yazd family for most of his life, John, the captain of the guard, thinks that he has seen all kinds of faces among the nobles. Some of them are arrogant, some are cruel, and ruthless people are even more common. However,

The young master in front of him acted even more worried.

Nobles should not be cowardly, let alone place their hopes on others.

The captain of the guard, John, looked at Iaie again. Seeing his hesitant and cautious look, he could only hide the worry in his eyes.

The next morning, when Li Yu woke up, he was in a daze for a while.

There is no danger to life, no restriction on personal freedom, lying leisurely on a soft bed, and the air seems to be filled with a fresh smell - how long has it been since you enjoyed a morning like this?

About a hundred years.

Li Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the girl in the sofa backpack said, "Are you awake?"

Li Yu was still lying down and said, "Yes, I'm already awake. Let's set off in a while."

"Try the headphones before you go. There are already headphones here, the kind with tiny built-in ear canals, but we need to test whether the nanomachines in your body can power the headphones."

"Does this still need to be tested?"

"Electronic devices that have been idle for several years may malfunction unexpectedly, and of course they need to be tested."

"I understand." Li Yu agreed and sat up. His expression remained unchanged, but a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

I don’t know why, although Ella’s voice hasn’t changed, her tone seems much cooler than before. Is it an illusion? Or is there some change in this girl’s mood?

Li Yu walked to the sofa, sat down, and took the headphones from Ella. At that moment, he observed the girl's expression.

Ella's face was expressionless.

The so-called earphones are about the same size as the tip of a ballpoint pen. If you accidentally drop them on the ground, you will definitely not find them. Fortunately, these two small things are slightly sticky and will not slip off easily.

Li Yu put the two earphones into his ears, stuck them in place, and then heard a slight buzzing sound.

He tried to control the nanomachines floating near his ears,

The girl zipped up and shut herself inside the backpack. Her whisper-like voice sounded directly in his ears:

"Can you hear it?"

Li Yu: "You can hear it."

Ella: "Okay, pack your things and go. If there is anything I need to inform you in the future, I will tell you through the headphones. This schoolbag is not soundproof, so the volume I speak to you will be very low to avoid being heard.

People discovered.”

Li Yu nodded subconsciously: "Okay."

Then he stood up and took a moment to pack his things. Small details such as Ella's change in tone were temporarily put aside in his mind.

He carefully counted all his current assets.

A pistol, five magazines of bullets, two tactical daggers, elastic cords, multifunctional knives and other scattered things were all taken out from the weapon box at the stronghold.

In addition, there were also 28 silver coins in total that he had looted from the convoy. But he was not very clear about the purchasing power of these silver coins, and needed to go to the settlement to try them.

In addition, there were some practical items such as compressed dry food, lighters, bandages, and disinfectants, which he stuffed into his backpack. Fortunately, the capacity of this backpack was quite considerable. Even after half of Ella's body was packed, it could still be filled.

Of course, he had all the pistols, daggers, and bullets tied to his body, otherwise the backpack would not be able to hold it.

After checking twice and packing everything, Li Yu put on his bag and walked out the door.

As soon as he went out, he saw Yiai and five guards waiting not far away.

They walked some distance and found the off-road vehicle on the edge of the ruined city.

Li Yu got on the bus and sat in the last row of seats - the reason for this choice was simple, so that he would not leave his back to anyone, and he could see every move of others at any time.

Yiai sat down next to him and asked: "Master Master, do you mind if I sit here?"

Li Yu looked at him and suddenly understood why this noble young man wanted to sit next to him.

Because in this way, he is closest to him and can be touched by reaching out. If the situation changes, such as the guards suddenly taking action, then Li Yu can immediately kidnap Yi Ai and use him as a hostage.

This is so sincere.

Li Yu smiled and said: "Of course I don't mind. Please sit down, sir."

The off-road vehicle started to move towards the rising sun.
