Chapter 99: The Fog
It was already dusk.
"We're not going to hurry, we're going to spend the night here, we're going to collect some firewood, and we'll gather back here later. Zhang Yang said.
"I'm going to deal with a couple of rabbits. Harry said.
"Let's go together. The four of you go to collect some firewood, and Brother Zhang Yang will sit here to rest. "Eryu arranged it very organized.
Zhang Yang smiled, this Er Yu should be in their school is a class leader or something, and he belongs to a managerial talent.
In the outdoor evening, it is a very happy thing to barbecue the rabbit, and the fragrance reaches everyone's nose.
The evening breeze is blowing, and the moonlight scatters the memories all over the ground.
Harry sang a song that Zhang Yang had never heard before.
With the exotic tone and the melody of the song, Zhang Yang couldn't help but think that life is actually a process, with joy, accidents, surprises and touches, as well as danger, helplessness, melancholy and the unknown.
He stood up and distributed the fruit he had picked in the woods to the people.
"It's a good life!" said Eryu.
"It's good to be alive! and it's the most real!" said Harry.
It was a harmonious evening. Under the campfire, there was no sleep all night.
……
The chirping of birds in the forest signals the arrival of a new day.
Zhang Yang had already discovered that today's fog was a bit big, he thought that if he waited, the fog would disperse, but he didn't think that until noon, not only did it not disperse, but it became thicker, and it could still be seen within three meters, but now it is only faintly visible.
Standing in the fog, looking around, the white expanse, he unconsciously felt a sense of isolation in his heart.
To Zhang Yang's surprise, the door of all wonders was also temporarily invalid.
By the afternoon, the fog had not lifted.
"I once saw on the news that in some primeval forests, once the fog accumulated, it didn't go away for months. Eryu said uneasily.
"I've seen the news too, but it's also in a specific area, and as long as you cross this area, you'll be fine. Harry added.
"What to do?" asked Kerry nervously.
They focused all their eyes on Zhang Yang.
"It's very simple, let's go!" Zhang Yang said with a smile. Although his spatial crossing of the Gate of Wisdom was temporarily ineffective, the exercises and sensing abilities of the Dan Dao Realm were not affected in any way.
He also sensed that as long as he walked 80 kilometers, the fog would disappear.
"Which direction should we go?" asked Harry.
"In that direction!" Zhang Yang pointed in the direction of the woods.
"I propose that in order to prevent separation, each of us must follow the person in front of us, and I will lead the team in the first line, and you will decide how to arrange it later. Zhang Yang said.
"I'm last, Harry is second, everyone else is in the middle, so be it!"
"I have no opinion. Harry said.
"I don't have an opinion either!"
“……”
Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Zhang Yang said, let's go, and took the lead towards the woods. Despite the thick fog, he relied on his senses to make his way through the woods without any danger.
Eighty kilometers, according to the normal walking, at least about 15 hours, not including the time to rest and find something to eat.
Therefore, along the way, Zhang Yang always maintained a very stable walking speed.
He didn't feel anything, but the people who followed him were visibly extremely tired. After all, it's not a smooth road, but a thorny one.
"Let's take a break!" Zhang Yang stopped, and the people behind him also stopped, and everyone sat together.
"We were so far apart that I felt as if I was walking alone on this mountain. Radcliffe, who walked in the middle, said.
"There are seven of us, according to the distance of one meter from each person, it is seven meters apart, and in normal times, it is not a distance at all, but under this dense fog, the distance of one meter is also blurred, let alone seven meters. Zhang Yang explained.
"Brother Zhang Yang, how long do you think it will take for us to get out of this foggy area?" Er Yu asked.
"We're about 30 kilometres out now, and according to my estimates, it's going to be at least 50 kilometres away from this foggy area. Zhang Yang thought for a while and said.
"So far!" everyone exclaimed.
"That's just my estimate, probably not that far away. But each of us must be prepared for this. Zhang Yang knew that at this time, he should pay attention to proportion, not exaggerate, or say that it was okay, at least let everyone accept it.
That's right, so we can be prepared. Harry said.
"It's just that the road conditions are too bad. Carey said.
"It's called a road, it's not a road at all, is it?" complained Radcliffe.
"I understand everyone's feelings, it's only 50 kilometers, just like we used to climb outdoors. Zhang Yang said in a relaxed tone.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were finished, everyone's faces were obviously not so ugly.
"I used to climb more than 100 kilometers of mountain roads with a few classmates, and this distance is really nothing. Eryu said with a smile.
"yes! It's really nothing!" Radcliffe was visibly infected.
"Then let's continue to go!" Zhang Yang said immediately.
Everyone continued to walk, and to everyone's delight, the next road surface appeared to be smooth, as if a road had been artificially paved. However, Zhang Yang felt abnormal.
Because, he can see that these seemingly smooth roads should be formed by the long-term activities of some large animals, just like a road, a road will only be formed when people walk more.
So, all the way through, he sensed any changes ahead.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a "whoosh" sound to pierce this quiet world, and Zhang Yang sensed that twenty-eight wolves were rushing in his direction.
"Quick, everyone is in a circle!" Zhang Yang yelled, he was not afraid, but it did not mean that he was not worried about his teammates.
With visibility so low, it's hard for him to keep everyone safe.
"Wolves, wolves!" Harry stammered visibly, and the others were even more bloodless.
"Zhang Yang, what should I do?" Er Yu was also shocked, and even omitted the word "brother".
"Don't be nervous, I still have one piece that I haven't used, but it can be a bit loud, you can close your eyes or cover your ears. Zhang Yang hurriedly said.
At this time, he found a stone wall, his heart moved, and he said loudly: "Everyone lean to the left, and when you see a stone wall, you can't stop and don't move." ”
The whining sound stopped a few meters from Zhang Yang.
The wolf is known for its ferocity, but it never attacks its enemies easily, and the wolf knows how to get the most out of the least cost. This is Zhang Yang's understanding of wolves.
Perhaps it was because they found that Zhang Yang and they did not have any offensive weapons around them, and with a whining sound, the wolves quickly surrounded Zhang Yang and them in a fan-shaped way.
At the moment when they jumped up, the air flow of Zhang Yang Dan Dao Realm shot towards the wolves. As the dying howls of the wolves stopped, the space was also instantly quiet.
"Are they all dead?" said Harry's voice.
"This is my finale work of this competition, it's okay, it's gone!" Zhang Yang looked pity.
"Brother Zhang Yang, your work is really good! Eryu sighed.
The other four didn't speak, but they were visibly grateful.
"I thought my work was very good, but today I learned that, according to your Huaguo, I am a frog at the bottom of a well. Weasley said with emotion.
Everyone nodded approvingly.
"There's only 20 kilometers left, so let's take a break or keep walking?" Zhang Yang said.
"It's only twenty kilometers?" asked Harry in surprise. He turned to the others and said, "That's it, let's hurry, shall we?"
"Yes, we're on our way!" added Eryu.
Before leaving, Zhang Yang carried one of his wolves in his hand, preparing to brush wolf meat in a pot on the road.
Along the way, Zhang Yang found that the concentration of the fog had significantly lightened, and the visibility had increased from about one meter to about five meters, and further on, the visibility had reached about seven meters. That is to say, it is certain that after walking the remaining ten kilometers, you can completely get out of this foggy area.
The discovery got everyone excited.
When they were only about eight kilometers away from the target, they noticed a river in front of them. According to visual measurements, Zhangyang is about 500 meters wide.
"I don't know if this river is deep, can we go around it?" Er Yu said to himself.
"The river should be about five meters deep at its deepest point and about two meters at its shallowest level. Zhang Yang turned his head left and right and said, "This is an interspersed river, there should be no way to bypass it on the other side, we can only swim over." ”
"I can swim over, how are you?" asked Eryu.
"Me too!" said Harry. Several others also said it was not a problem.
"Wait. Zhang Yang saw that everyone was taking off their coats and preparing to go into the water, so he stopped and said. He sensed an anomaly underneath the water.
"Questions?" asked Harry nervously.
"I'm not sure, I think it's safe to try if it's dangerous. ”
"How do you try?" asked Harry. Everyone's eyes also fell on Zhang Yang.
"There's this. Zhang Yang raised the wolf in his hand, and then asked, "Does anyone have a knife?"
"I have. Eryu said, pulling out a dagger from his equipment bag.
"Eryu, where did you get the dagger?" asked Harry curiously. Several others were also skeptical. From the moment the first division came in, everything on my body was left outside. Not to mention a dagger, even if it is an iron bar, there is no more.
"Let's take a look at my dagger material before I speak. Eryu said emphatically.
"Isn't it made of iron?" Harry clearly didn't understand what Eryu meant.
"Eryu's dagger is made of tent racks. Zhang Yang said with a smile. He reached out and took the dagger.
"Really?" asked Harry as he turned to Eryu.
"Of course it is. Eryu replied. But I thought in my heart, Zhang Yang hasn't looked at my dagger yet, how do you know that it is made from a tent shelf?
Zhang Yang cut out more than 20 small pieces of wolf meat in three or two times, and then, he went into the woods and found more than 20 wide leaves, this kind of leaves he understands, the ability to float in the water is very strong, even if a two-pound stone is placed on it, it will not sink into the water.
He then wrapped the wolf meat in the leaves, and after wrapping it, he threw the wrapped wolf meat at different points on the river.
What makes everyone feel rare is that Zhang Yang threw out these wrapped wolf meats, and the moment they fell on the water, they all spread out just right, just like spreading them out with his hands and gently placing them on the water.
This scene fell in Er Yu's eyes, and he felt more and more that he couldn't see through Zhang Yang. "This is a mysterious person". He evaluated Zhang Yang like this in his heart. Thinking of the purpose of his participation in the competition this time, he felt even more that he must make Zhang Yang a friend.
At this time, there was movement on the otherwise calm water.
