Chapter 74: The heart is panicking
We waited until twelve o'clock in the evening, and still did not see the shadow of the black snake, and then set off again and headed home.
Although I didn't encounter anything on the road, I always felt that something was wrong, and I could feel that the emotions of the black face were also a little uneasy.
Considering the existence of the black snake, perhaps because our nerves were too nervous, and the time was indeed late, we did not stop the reconnaissance, but continued to hurry.
When they returned to the station, everyone had not rested, and they stood on the city wall waiting for us one by one, and when they saw our figure, they almost screamed with excitement.
This time, the people didn't blame me, because they knew that I was scouting the terrain and routes, and I didn't dare to say anything about the black snake.
But my forced smile was still seen through by everyone.
"Did something happen?" Ling Han asked.
It's not that everyone doesn't want to ask, it's just that I don't know when it started, Ling Han seems to be second only to me in terms of seniority, so everyone waits for Ling Han to ask first every time, and every time Ling Han asks a question, it seems that everyone wants to ask.
"I didn't want to hide it from you, I just didn't know how to say it. I said with a wry smile.
"If there is really a difficulty, we will have to face it sooner or later, you tell us earlier, we can also be mentally prepared in advance, this reason is enough, right?" Qiu Xue said.
I looked at the expectant eyes of the crowd, so I had to sit down in front of the campfire and tell the story of today's experience as it was.
Originally, the Black Forest was portrayed by me as a little strange, but after I told me about today's experience, everyone became even more afraid of the Black Forest.
When I described the size of the black snake, even though I was only telling the truth, everyone was still shocked.
When I said that it was difficult for me to hit the black snake's eyes, and then an arrow shot into the black snake's mouth temporarily stopped the black snake's pursuit, and everyone pinched a cold sweat for me.
When I said I took the opportunity to break the arrow and set a trap, the women huddled together, holding each other's arms, looking more nervous than I had been.
When I said that the black snake was injured on the back and the monster was dispatched, I almost led the black snake towards the monster, even John and Paul were a little moved, and several women silently wiped their tears.
"I didn't go into such detail if I knew I wouldn't have said it all, but if it did, what would you do?" I said, looking at the crowd.
"If that's what you say, we probably can't kill that big black snake. John said.
"If you remove it, what I say is the truth, I am not exaggerating. I said.
"Actually, it's not impossible, the black snake was definitely injured by your trap, so it stopped chasing you. Paul said.
"I'm not going, I'm not going there to die, it's terrible. Xia He said.
"We didn't say we were going to go now, we just discussed what to do. Xia Yun hugged Xia He and said.
"Which do you think is better to deal with, the black snake or the savage?" Liu Yue said.
"I won't hide it from you now, it's not easy to deal with both sides, the wild men are all nearly two meters tall, and they are all as strong as oxen. I said.
When I said this, everyone fell into deep thought, originally our idea was very simple, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will run.
But now, if we really can't beat those wild people, it will be very dangerous for us to run, because we can only go north, and if we cross the river to the east, we will be monster territory.
If you go south, you go back to the sea, where there is nothing but mountain cliffs.
But if you want to go north, you have to go through the Black Forest, and according to our observations, these animals can cross rivers, which means that even if we cross the Black Forest from the other side of the river, we will encounter black snakes.
"Really, let's go back to the east?" Seeing that everyone had been silent, I asked tentatively.
"No, monsters are more terrifying. Rumeng said.
"The main thing is that those monsters are endless, and we simply can't deal with them. Liu Yue said.
"Yes, here we know at least the number and specifics of the enemy. Ling Han said.
"If those wild men really want to deal with us, we will be the same everywhere. Qiu Xue said.
It was really a word that woke up the dreamer, and everyone turned their eyes to Qiuxue at the same time.
"Qiu Xue is right, monsters can't cross the river to come here, but the animals here can go over there, presumably those wild people are the same, plus they now have the sinister villain of Ma Gongzi in command. I said.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, fight with them. John said angrily.
"If we try to find a way, we will definitely not be able to fight hard. Paul said.
"I think we'd better train and protect ourselves if the wildlings do come. Jones said.
"Yes, as long as we strengthen our defenses, we won't be so easy to attack here. Luna said.
"What do you mean?" I said, looking at the crowd.
After a moment's deliberation, the group finally agreed with Luna and Jones.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" the crowd asked.
Then I remembered to ask, I was already hungry. I said with a smile.
When the girls heard me say this, they complained to themselves and quickly got up to prepare food for me and Blackface.
Blackface was really tired today, and when he came back, he slept soundly on the floor until I put the food in front of him.
"Don't keep vigil tonight, leave it to us. The crowd said.
"Well, it's really physically and mentally exhausting today, so it's hard work for you. I stood up and said.
Nightmares continued, the wild man and the black snake united, our wall was quickly breached, watching everyone fall in a pool of blood one by one, and then looking at Ma Gongzi with a smile on his face in the distance, I wanted to tear him apart.
"I'll kill you," I woke up in a roar.
The black face looked at me with a frightened expression, and the light from outside the house fell on my shoulder, and it turned out that it was already dawn.
"No, I have to take the initiative, I can't be so passive anymore, it's too torturous. I walked out of the house talking to myself.
The first thing I want to do is get everyone together.
"Have you thought of a solution?" the group asked.
"There's no perfect solution for the time being, but we can improve our surroundings and make our position a little bit more favorable. I said.
"You say, we'll do it with you. The crowd said.
"First of all, the field of vision, now the outside of the wall is full of trees, if the enemy really comes, the woods can not hide their traces, we first cut down all the trees in front of the wall, and the wood obtained can just be used to make spike barricades. I said.
"But our axe," said John.
"It's okay, everyone takes turns resting, and the tools are used in turns. I said.
"Then let's get started, shall we?" Ling Han asked.
"What about you?" asked Qiuxue.
"I don't have to rest. I said, picked up an axe, and walked towards the woods.
There was actually a small open space outside the wall, but it was only the size of a basketball court, which was very bad for us to observe the enemy.
Clearing the trees in front of me would reveal our location, but I can't think of any other way to get the best of both worlds.
finally thought of some ways to deal with the situation in front of them, and everyone naturally spared no effort, several women took turns to fight, and the trees in front of them fell one by one.
Those who didn't cut down the trees didn't rest, they were all renovating the spiked barricades, but fortunately, although the trees were dense in front of the wall, the trunks were not very thick.
We had cleared out a basketball court the size of a basketball court in the morning, and I stood on the fence and looked at it, and my vision was still somewhat affected.
Arrows of my size can pierce through the bodies of animals, and while it may have something to do with the water or the fruit, the savages are almost twice my size.
I believe that the strength of those wildlings is definitely not ordinary, and if the wildlings can use bows and arrows, or even simply throw stones, we may not be safe in the base.
"Keep chopping and fan forward to make the view a little bigger. I shouted as I stood on the fence.
After shouting, I jumped off the fence and joined the tree cutting again.
Before the sun went down, we finally cleared out a piece of land, but we didn't stop, and after eating something, we continued to build the spiked barricades, which I had made a few sharpened pieces of wood to be crossed into a crossbar.
