Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259 The Enemy’s Abnormal Behavior

General Horton’s expression stiffened slightly, his decision at this moment would impact the situation greatly. Accepting Gu Fan’s suggestion would hurt his pride but rejecting it meant parting ways with Gu Fan, which was even worse.

"What’s going on, the staircase isn’t enough, is it?" Gu Fan sighed inwardly. The issue of face really was a big problem, so he made a pleading gesture, "General Horton, I beg you to reconsider my suggestion. I know I am young and inexperienced, and you must have considered this more thoroughly. If you decide to continue forward, then fine, we will follow you. If you decide to camp here, then we will comply exactly."

General Horton gave a slight smile, realizing how things stood, "Alright, this time we’ll follow your suggestion to set up camp. I’ve thought it over, and worrying about vampires catching up isn’t a solution. We can’t keep going without stopping; we’d get too exhausted to handle any emergencies."

Some people echoed in agreement, "Right, if the vampires are going to chase us, they will catch up sooner or later. We might as well rest up and conserve our energy."

And so it was decided: everyone got off and one by one set up tents and the defense system.

Seeing everyone busy setting up the temporary camp, Su Hui walked up to Gu Fan and showed admiration, even saying, "You really did give General Horton face, saying things like if General Horton decides to continue on, you would follow him and such, all just nonsense, right?"

Gu Fan showed a helpless expression, "There’s no way around it, I had to say it or General Horton wouldn’t step down."

"Well, now let’s consider what to do if things turn out as we expect," Su Hui became anxious, cautiously looking around, but all was still calm.

Gu Fan nodded, his expression somewhat tense, "What I’m more worried about now is that the vampires won’t pursue us."

Night had fallen completely, the primeval forest was completely engulfed in darkness, everyone had set up their tents and entered into sleep.

However, for safety’s sake, the night watch was tripled, and many surveillance cameras were installed. In short, several lines of defense were established.

Gu Fan volunteered to watch over this night. He kept pacing back and forth in the camp, inspecting everything over and over, also occasionally checking the time.

"It’s already two o’clock in the morning, and they still haven’t come." Gu Fan was puzzled, there was definitely a problem. The vampires’ pursuit speed shouldn’t be this slow.

Lin Xi woke up in the middle of the night, worried about Gu Fan, so she came over to keep him company. Seeing Gu Fan’s worried look, she comforted him with a smile, "Look at how worried you are. What are you afraid of? With Destiny Stone Body Guard, no one can do anything to you."

"We can’t say that, I still have to take responsibility for everyone. It’s best to get more people out safely." Gu Fan was just Gu Fan, and this sense of responsibility was what Lin Xi admired.

Gu Fan then asked another question, "Lin Xi, can I ask you a question? If you were a vampire, why wouldn’t you pursue us?"

Lin Xi extended four fingers, "There are four possibilities, no? First, the vampires themselves encountered trouble and didn’t have the capability to pursue us; second, they don’t want to pursue us, afraid of offending someone; third, they disdain to pursue; fourth, they are afraid to pursue."

"Let’s dismiss the third possibility directly. I am from Organization X. I definitely wouldn’t allow a group to wreak havoc on my territory," Gu Fan thought it through carefully and then dismissed the first possibility too, according to what Harvin said, the regular army of ten thousand had been defeated by many many vampires, at least more than five thousand.

Gu Fan had fought vampire warriors and found them much stronger than regular vampires. With a force of over five thousand, who could compete? So it was unlikely that vampires couldn’t pursue Gu Fan and his group because they were tied up by troubles, the first possibility was ruled out.

As for the second possibility, the vampires might be afraid to pursue because they feared offending someone. But why then had they lain an ambush at the simple sluice gate to attack Gu Fan and his team?

"Wait a minute!" Gu Fan glanced at Harvin’s tent, then his expression became solemn, "Lin Xi, actually there’s a fifth possibility."

Lin Xi quickly understood Gu Fan’s implication, "You mean Harvin and his group are actually from Organization X? Previously at the simple sluice gate, the vampire attack allowed Harvin and his group the chance to join our team."

"That’s a possibility, but it’s a slim one," Gu Fan lowered his head to think, still considering the second possibility. If vampires were afraid to pursue because they were afraid to offend someone, then who might this person be?

Lin Xi said, "Actually, at the simple sluice gate, we fought the vampires, I believe our characteristics were already reported back to Organization X."

"You mean, Organization X most likely already knows we have come, so they’re not pursuing us because they don’t want a direct conflict with us," Gu Fan’s brow furrowed deeply, he re-evaluated the possibilities together, he needed to assess the most likely possibility to help him analyze the current situation. In any case, they couldn’t afford to proceed blindly.

It was late at night, and Gu Fan was very tired as he hadn’t slept for a long time. If not for Lin Xi by his side, he probably wouldn’t have been able to keep his eyes open.

Gu Fan and Lin Xi kept chatting until around four in the morning. By this time, if the vampires hadn’t attacked yet, they probably wouldn’t.

In an inconspicuous corner, Su Hui had intended to see how Gu Fan was doing but found Lin Xi was already with him.

"That’s good, it saves me a lot of time," Su Hui thought this but looked slightly sad, she smiled faintly, preparing to go back to continue sleeping, but as she turned around, she happened to see Zhuo Hang.

Zhuo Hang looked at her accusingly, "If you only know how to silently protect, you’ll spend your life hiding in the shadows."

"I don’t know what you mean?" Su Hui showed a disinterested demeanor, then walked straight past Zhuo Hang, hearing him faintly say, "You can pretend not to care, but you can’t fool yourself."

"So what?" Su Hui turned around, her eyes full of disdain as she looked at Zhuo Hang, "I know my identity now, I’m clear about what I should do."

"If you’re clear, why can’t you let go, why not look for what belongs to you?" Zhuo Hang’s gaze was as hopeful as if he were declaring his feelings.

But Su Hui gave a bitter smile, "Maybe my heart is already dead."

Hearing this, Zhuo Hang seemed disappointed, "It’s not that your heart has died, but the only one who can make your heart come alive again isn’t by your side, so you choose to seal your heart off. Are you really willing to spend a lifetime waiting for something that will never come?"
