Chapter 219: Rest

Under the fog, the only things that can feel the flow of time are the time on the watch on the wrist and the time on the phone.

After searching a ring of low woods near the concrete floor, the group of five who had left the group returned to the middle of the fire, where they had camped, where they rested.

There was a lot of stuff roasted on the fire, but there was no meat.

There is nothing in this damn forest except plants that are plants, and there is nothing to be seen except plants.

Young people's yearning for meat is sometimes an obsession, waiting for the fear that has not come, and finally after numbness and abandonment, the group of five sits lazily around the fire and grills things listlessly.

"I really want to eat meat. ”

One of the young men, who had roasted the rhizomes of white plants in his hands, spoke.

"I have ...... in me Can't you eat ......?"

A weak retort came out of the mouth of another young man.

Even if it's a joke, the use of this soft and elongated voice, combined with the surrounding environment, still makes others feel goosebumps all over their bodies.

After a few seconds of silence:

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"That's my arm!"

"Are you crazy, what a bite!"

I don't know if it's because the two young people who are starting to mess up their brains are playing with each other like crazy after a joke.

The noise woke up Liu Ming and two young people who were blind, silently nibbling on "roasted crispy melon".

All collected "food" has been tested for no toxicity and can be eaten.

But in an unfamiliar environment, everyone lost contact with other people, and the cautious Liu Ming still asked the team members to put everything on the fire and roast it before eating.

In the long-standing food culture of Huaguo, there is nothing that cannot be eaten, as long as it is boiled, grilled, and fried, a fragrant and delicious meal will appear.

None of the five were now proficient in cooking and did not have the right utensils for cooking, so they chose the most direct cooking method, which was grilled.

It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's not very toxic, grilled and roasted, sprinkled with spices, and dipped in sauce, it's a food that can be eaten.

As for what it tastes like, it may only be known to those who eat it.

However, judging from the expressions of the young men next to Liu Ming who couldn't lift their spirits, these things they baked were obviously a little unsatisfactory.

Glancing at the two funny teammates who were struggling to break the dullness, Liu Ming raised his hand to give the two teammates around him who were about to rust on the shoulders of each shoulder, and after waking them up, he got up and walked to the other side of the fire, and walked to the side of the camp after "grabbing" a roasted half-yellow and half-white plant rhizome from the hands of the noisy teammates.

That's where the well is.

Liu Ming wants to come back with some water.

From the discovery of the concrete floor, to the establishment of a makeshift camp, to patrol the surroundings to collect items, to rest and bake food next to the backfire pile, from the table, it has been five or six hours.

Counting the time they left the group, plus the time for them to run around until they got lost, there should be at least ten hours before and after.

After such a long time, there was still no movement around, which made Liu Ming a little discouraged.

Danger, there may be.

But what Liu Ming is worried about now is not the danger that has not always appeared.

He worries if his people have been abandoned.

For more than ten hours, the captain must have already noticed that a few of them were missing, but why has there been no movement nearby?

Liu Ming thought about this question.

The answer is nothing more than several.

First, the captain was in danger, and then in the chaos, he didn't care about arranging personnel to look for them.

Second, the captain and the others were not in danger, but the thick fog and strange woods made it impossible for them to find the traces left by the separated people in a short time.

But why not use flares?

Liu Ming complained a little in his heart.

The firelight penetrates the fog very strongly, as long as the flare is used, maybe the five of them can see, and then there is a target to move forward, which is much better than being trapped here, waiting for rescue.

There is also the fact that they are abandoned because of the mission.

This thought just flashed through Liu Ming's heart like the wind.

He didn't dare to think about it.

Don't dare to admit or deny that Liu Ming's entanglement lies.

A few of his own people ran away in a mess when the whole village had high hopes, and if the captain thought from the perspective of all the villagers and other teammates, it was conceivable to temporarily abandon them.

But Liu Ming is afraid that this kind of result will occur, he is a human being, a young man who still has too many ideals and ambitions to achieve, and has lofty goals.

For the captain he has always admired since he was a child, even if it is reasonable, Liu Ming does not want a few of his people to be given up by the captain.

It was a kind of speculation that could make people collapse, Liu Ming didn't dare to think deeply, he was looking forward to another possibility.

Judging from the past situation and the temperament of the captain, the captain will not abandon them.

But there is a case for everything, what Liu Ming is afraid of at this moment is what if, what if the captain also encounters danger and can't take care of it?

What if the others didn't plan to waste time looking for them slowly, and the captain couldn't hold back for a while and had to give up on them?

Also, what if the captain also got lost while looking for them and went in a direction that was getting farther and farther away from them?

Liu Ming didn't dare to think about it.

Liu Ming didn't dare to say it.

As the temporary team leader selected from the five people, he needs to shoulder the heavy responsibility of bringing several of them out of the predicament, and he can't give up first when he encounters a little difficulty.

Therefore, when the fights of his partners woke up Liu Ming, he planned to give up these disheartening and unsubstantiated speculations, he needed to cheer up, and then learn from the appearance of the captain and actively lead his teammates out of the predicament.

Even if the captain really can't come to look for them for various reasons, he, Liu Ming, will take the initiative to take the burden of bringing the team members out of the predicament.

The cold well water flowed through his face, and when he rubbed it, a lot of it entered between his lips and tongue, and the slightly sweet coolness penetrated from the tip of his tongue, face, neck, and all the way to the whole body, making Liu Ming's heart calm when he was irritable again.

Turned around and came to the fire, put down a bucket full of well water, Liu Ming beckoned several other teammates to come and wash their faces, sober up, and then discuss how to go on the "road" behind.

The power of the collective is powerful, and decision-makers should not be arbitrary, but need to listen to everyone's suggestions, which Liu Ming learned a long time ago.

He now needs to bring everyone together and reinvigorate themselves to face the difficult situation in front of him.
