Chapter 1683: Survival in the Wasteland
Stars glide across the sky and finally sink into the western horizon. Darkness shrouded it, but it was not pure, a bright moon appeared in the sky, sprinkling a faint brilliance, illuminating the vision, and the distant scenery was faintly visible, but it was still a charred black earth.
This world is really a wasteland world, and after walking for almost a hundred kilometers, Ning Tao didn't even see a single grass. Everywhere we passed, it was charred black dirt and gravel, without water, and dry as a desert.
"Old send, my mouth is so thirsty, I really can't walk......" Bi Mingzhu sat down on the ground, her sexy lips had lost their pearl color, shriveled, and shelled in some places.
Ning Tao is a man after all, and he can still insist on walking for a while, but he has to consider Bi Mingzhu's situation. He stopped and looked up.
"Lao Xiang, do you think we will die here?" Bi Mingzhu's mood was very low.
"No, don't be cranky, you have to cheer up. Ning Tao said.
Bi Mingzhu's mood was still very low, and she lay down: "Such a chance for a new life...... Hehe...... I'd rather not ...... What kind of opportunity for a new life, this is simply an opportunity to suffer...... We can't live without water, without food......"
That's not going to work.
Ning Tao said: "You hurry up, we have to move on." ”
Bi Mingzhu lay motionless on the ground: "I can't walk...... I'm not leaving, you can go by yourself. ”
Ning Tao decided to stimulate her: "You get up quickly, if you don't get up, I'll tell you a story." ”
Bi Mingzhu still lay still: "You can talk about it if you want to." ”
Ning Tao: "......"
Before, she was worried about his body, for his sake, and didn't let him tell stories, but now she doesn't care, how frustrated is this?
Ning Tao's heart was very anxious and worried, but there was no solution to the problem.
If only there was water.
But in this place, I'm afraid that even if you dig a hundred meters into the ground, you won't be able to dig water.
Ning Tao's gaze suddenly stayed in a southeast direction, and there was a shadow at the end of his vision. He rubbed his eyes, making sure it wasn't a hallucination caused by dehydration, but a real shadow. But from too far away, he couldn't see what the shadow was.
"Mingzhu, look, what is there?" Ning Tao said excitedly: "I think it's a mountain, there must be water in the mountain." ”
As soon as she heard that there was water, Bi Mingzhu climbed up, she stood beside Ning Tao, and looked in the direction that Ning Tao pointed, she also saw the shadow.
"Let's go, let's go there. Ning Tao said.
Bi Mingzhu nodded listlessly and followed Ning Tao, but her steps had no strength.
Ning Tao thought for a moment and said, "Mingzhu, if you don't dislike it, I can get you some water to drink." ”
"Give me the water, give it to me. "Bi Mingzhu can't wait to be authentic.
Ning Tao turned around, and when he turned around again, there was a little more liquid with a little foam in the pit on the metal fragment in his hand.
"This is ......," Bi Mingzhu looked at the liquid in the metal shards with her eyes shining.
"Beer. Ning Tao said.
Bi Mingzhu didn't bother to ask more, and couldn't wait to take the concave piece of metal from Ning Tao's hand, and raised her head to drink the beer in the pit.
She knew what brand of beer it was, but at a time of severe water loss and life and death, where could she care so much.
Drank white beer
Do you still care about drinking draught beer?
"Let's keep walking, I'll hold you. Ning Tao said.
The two of them walked deeper and shallow towards the shadow, leaving two trails of footprints behind them.
"Lao send, are you thirsty, if you are thirsty, I will also get you some beer to drink. Bi Mingzhu regained a trace of her spirit, and she had the strength to speak.
Ning Tao wanted to drink it, but he couldn't help it, he said, "Keep it, if I really can't stand it, you give it to me again." ”
"Well, I'll keep it for you. ”
Another ten kilometers of travel was left behind, and the shadow was getting closer and closer. I couldn't see it clearly from a distance before, but when I got closer, I could see it clearly, it was indeed a mountain. The hills are undulating and stretch to the end of the view. The hillside near the wasteland was bare, still black sand and gravel, not even a single large rock. But the higher you go, the more rocks and walls appear on the hillside.
"There's no water here...... Bi Mingzhu knelt on the ground, the grit pierced her knee, but she couldn't feel the pain anymore. Compared to the thirst for water, this pain is nothing at all.
Ning Tao helped her up, then squatted in front of her, carried her on his back with his backhand, and continued to walk forward.
"Old send, you, what are you doing? You're also very tired, you haven't drunk or eaten, you can let me down. Bi Mingzhu couldn't help it, and she was also worried about Ning Tao's situation, if he also fell to the ground, it would be really over.
Ning Tao didn't put her down, and said as he walked: "There is no on the hillside, it doesn't mean that there is no valley either, we have to go into the valley to have a look." ”
"Then let me down, I'll go by myself, and I'll go into the valley with you." Bi Mingzhu said.
Ning Tao said: "It's okay, I'm carrying you, I'm strong." ”
I think that at the beginning, when he competed with hundreds of millions of seeds, he also fled with Bi Mingzhu on his back at the critical moment of life and death, and at that time he gained infinite strength from Bi Mingzhu's body, and he jumped over the trench with her more than ten meters on his back. Now he also hoped for such a miracle, but apart from a few sensations that moved him, he did not gain any infinite power.
Bi Mingzhu didn't struggle anymore, and honestly lay on Ning Tao's back.
Ning Tao walked into the nearest valley with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The ground in the valley was also mud and gravel, and Ning Tao's feet had long been worn out, and it was difficult to take a step, but he was a man, and he had to hold on.
After entering the valley, Bi Mingzhu regained some strength, and under her repeated requests, Ning Tao put her down.
The two of them walked deeper into the valley.
In the hazy moonlight, the valley is not dark, and the slopes and rocks are faintly visible.
The charred black sand and gravel on the ground are also gone, replaced by normal dirt and rocks.
Ning Tao said: "I suspect that this place has experienced war, has been bombed by nuclear weapons and even more terrifying infinity, otherwise the land outside would not have become like that." This is the valley, and the mountain blocked the blast wave, so it was not destroyed. ”
Bi Mingzhu didn't say anything, just listened, she wasn't interested in anything now, she just wanted to drink water.
The two walked forward a little further, and a dry riverbed suddenly came into their sight.
Seeing the riverbed with only rocks and mud and sand left, Bi Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly collapsed: "Lao send, look, there is no water...... We're all going to die here......"
Ning Tao's gaze followed the riverbed, and suddenly stopped in one place
down.
There's a clump of shadows in that place that looks like plants. Although he couldn't see clearly, Ning Tao's mind depicted the shadow of the bush of plants according to the image he saw with his eyes, and he suddenly became excited, pulling Bi Mingzhu and walking there.
"What did you find?" said Bi Mingzhu, puzzled.
Ning Tao said excitedly: "There seems to be a cactus there, let's go take a look." ”
"Cactus?"
Ning Tao said: "A plant in my hometown can grow even in the desert, and its leaves can store water and be eaten. ”
As soon as he heard that there was water to eat, without Ning Tao's urging, Bi Mingzhu's pace sped up a lot.
The two of them quickly walked to the side of the clump of plants, Ning Tao's judgment was correct, this was indeed a cactus. Not only the clump he discovered, but also many more upstream of the riverbed.
Ning Tao broke off a piece, tore open the thick leaf and handed it to Bi Mingzhu: "Eat, be careful of the thorns." ”
"Hmm. Bi Mingzhu was so moved that she was about to cry.
Although she didn't get a marriage certificate or anything with Ning Tao, in her mind, Ning Tao was already the most perfect husband.
Ning Tao also broke off a piece, broke off the thorns, and tore the leaves to eat the mesophyll.
The mesophyll of the cactus is soft and rich in water, which can both preserve the fruit and replenish water.
The two of them ate several leaves in one go, and did not stop until they felt a little stretched.
Bi Mingzhu burped: "Although it is difficult to eat, it is better than starving to death and dying of thirst." I think there's a lot more out there, and it looks like we can stay here for a while. ”
Ning Tao said: "There are cacti here, which means that there is water, even if there is no water on the ground, there is water underground." There should be other plants and even animals elsewhere. Let's take a break, and then we move on, we need to find water and more food. ”
Bi Mingzhu lay down on a large flat rock by the riverbed, looked at the sky, and muttered, "Old send, what kind of world do you say this is?"
Ning Tao also looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and then looked at the golden fragment of the beer, the Chinese characters were very clear in the moonlight, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "I think...... It's like my hometown. ”
"Your hometown?" Bi Mingzhu sat up, looked at Ning Tao, and said with a smile: "How is this possible? Didn't you say that the cosmic world we once dominated was virtual? Since it is a virtual cosmic world, you and my hometown actually don't exist, so how can this be your hometown?"
Ning Tao smiled bitterly: "I don't know either, it's just a feeling." ”
In fact, it is not just the feeling, the blue sky in the daytime, the stars in the sky, and now the moon all give him an extremely familiar feeling. Not to mention, the silver-gold fragment in his hand, the square word was his native language, how could he not be familiar with it?
All kinds of signs led him to the keyword "earth", but ......
The cosmic world he dominates is a virtual cosmic world, so the earth and everything on the earth are virtual, and they are pre-programmed. How, then, could he have been on earth when he came down from a tree after he had been reborn?
I can't figure it out, and the reason is still messy.
"Lao send, if you don't tell a story, if you don't tell a story, I'll sleep. Bi Mingzhu said.
Ning Tao: "......"
This night, Lao Xiang didn't tell a story, and the two hugged each other and slept together.
The aura of God is gone, and there are some stories that I can't tell if I want to.
