Chapter 51: Food and Corpses
In the small wilderness, a strange car was moving, the wheels were spinning extremely fast, and a large area of yellow sand was raised behind the car. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The model of this car looks like a bus, but the body is equipped with thick iron plates, both the wheels and the doors are tightly protected, and the windows are welded with iron bars, if you have to describe it, it is a mobile prison or fortress.
That's right, this is the bus driven by Yueying and her party, or a heavy-duty RV is more suitable.
Although the terrain of the Sassanid Kingdom is desert, the paved roads are quite solid and have not been damaged by the war, and with the map, you can still find the route and direction of travel. It's just that if someone else is behind this car, they will probably be stuffed with a mouthful of sand while scolding.
But people driving this car now don't need to worry about this, because there are almost no people on this stretch of road.
The only living creatures that could be seen were a few weak monsters.
"It's the first time I've seen more monsters than people, are you sure you didn't go the wrong way?" Lin Mingfeng, who had nothing to do, complained.
"It's the boss who pointed the way, if you have a problem, do you want to find the boss?" the wrench wiped his face, and his hands were full of dust.
Even though the windows were closed, the sand everywhere was always pervasive, and it only took a few hours for everyone to understand this.
"No wonder Akuma has prepared a veil for us...... It's not pretty, though. At this time, Sheila put on a set of red veils of the Sassanid kingdom and covered half of her face tightly, only in this way could she avoid the trouble of dust. Fiai and Alice on the side were the same, relying on this light thing to breathe clean air.
Women can do this, but men can't, after all, it is too inappropriate for men to wear veils, let alone a guy with strong self-esteem like Lin Mingfeng. As for wrenches, he has always regarded himself as a gentleman, and naturally he will not use women's things.
Then, under the bad taste of several people, Tsukizakura was forced to put on this set of women's things.
So Tsukizakura looked exactly like a girl - even though she was a girl.
?
More than ten minutes later, Sheila gave an order, and the wrench stopped the car.
Even if the energy is consumed, you only need to rest for a while, so that the power magic guide can be recharged and can be used again, which can be said to be a perpetual motion machine in the actual sense. The instructions left by Akuma also mentioned that the car's one-time reserve energy was enough for 8 hours of non-stop driving, and so far, the car has only been driving for about 5 hours.
However, Sheila is a cautious person, and she always leaves room for everything.
One is that the only person who can drive this heavy RV is a wrench, and Fiai may be able to be the second-in-command, but her driving style is too wild, and Sheila estimates that Fiai will take a carload of people into a ditch after driving. As a result, prolonged fatigue driving is not advisable.
The second is to take precautions, God knows what is in front of the road, maybe there will be car bandits and road rage waiting in front, and if the power is not enough to run away, it will be equivalent to catching blind. It may be possible to fight head-on, but they did not come to Sasanid to fight the bandits, but to send the rescuers out of the Sassanid Kingdom, and now this car is the only guarantee that can quickly send the Dull Academician and others out of Sasanian safely, in case they are damaged on the way to the battle, they are putting the cart before the horse.
However, it is not that they will completely escape the battle, after all, they will have to return the same way after finding Academician Yu Dut, and if there is still a group of robbers waiting at that time, it will be even more unsafe.
So for the above reasons, Sheila already had a good idea, and now she takes a break every 4 hours or so to adjust her condition. And during this break -- there's a lot to do.
After the car stopped, Lin Mingfeng got into the small kitchen of the car and started cooking. At first, he asked Lin Mingfeng to cook, but in fact, he refused, he hurriedly said why let him cook as a big man, first of all, this is not in line with his setting. But Sheila said lightly, "Liori said that you are very good at cooking" - so Lin Mingfeng could only obey.
However, Lin Mingfeng is indeed the only one who is suitable for cooking, Fei Ai and Wrench are both restaurant parties, and they cook their own noodles at most; although Sheila can, as the principal, she has a lot of things to do; although Alice can do it, but now she has a more important position; as for Yueying, a thirteen-year-old child, no one dares to let him cook.
Although Tsukizakura is very confident in grilling meat, there is not so much meat among the ingredients prepared by Akuma for him to grill and eat.
Moreover, there are not many types of ingredients prepared by Akuma, after all, there are only a few things that can be stored for a long time, and the taste will definitely not be too good, and it is impossible to make delicious meals without certain cooking skills by relying on these ingredients.
And Lin Mingfeng did not disappoint everyone, and after a while, the aroma of food filled the carriage, and although Yueying was not hungry, she also moved her appetite.
There were no tables in the car, so everyone sat down on simple beds and began to eat dinner.
"I didn't expect you to be a fierce and evil-looking guy to make a good dish!" The wrench took a big bite of rice, and praised Lin Mingfeng's craftsmanship.
Lin Mingfeng had a dark face and didn't speak.
"But it's really delicious, I thought I'd be going to eat instant noodles all the time after I got here. Fiai bit her chopsticks and enjoyed herself.
Alice walked to the window and peeked out.
Her action made everyone stop, because the orange doll has a reconnaissance function, and Alice is now in charge of the observation post, and if she makes a move, there must be an accident.
Sheila hurriedly asked, "Is there an enemy?"
"Monsters, five. "Looking in the direction Alice was pointing, it was indeed a monster, but it was small, like a dog, but it looked strange, and they stood on the distant hills and watched this side, for it was almost evening, and their eyes were beginning to glow green.
"Oh...... It's a hyena, don't worry, we continue to eat. The wrench was the first to recognize what kind of monster it was, and immediately relaxed.
"Hyena?" Tsukizakura asked, "Why is it okay?"
"That thing is a monster that specializes in eating carrion, and although it can also hunt, but there is a civil war going on here, and there is no shortage of corpses, and they will not attack us with food all over the ground. "The only virtue of these nuisances is their patience, and they often follow the person who is dying, and eat when the person dies, so many people don't want to see hyenas, thinking that they will bring death or something." ā
"Seeing that you are so familiar, have you met it before?" Lin Mingfeng asked casually as he pulled his chopsticks.
"Hey, wasn't I a big soldier before, I lost a battle and was followed for a few days, I was scared at first, but then I got used to it. The wrench's seemingly relaxed words made everyone's mood suddenly a little heavy, and the people present were not very stupid, and they knew what the wrench's words were hiding.
Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little unnatural, the wrench immediately started a round: "Okay, it's all over at that time, I'm alive and kicking now, let's eat first, eat!"
Tsukizakura suddenly said, "No, we don't have any people who are going to die, how can they appear nearby?"
"Hyena ...... Not looking at us?" Fiai came to this conclusion.
Sheila immediately put the bowl down and ordered eagerly: "Quick, find it!"
Five minutes later, in a nearby bush, Lin Mingfeng found what everyone was looking for.
It was a little boy about the same age as Tsukizakura, lying on his back face up, skinny and skinny, with withered, cracked lips indicating that he was starving to death. Because of their small stature, neither Wrench nor Alice found out that there was a person hiding here.
There is no clue as to why a little boy died in a bush, there are so many causes of death in the civil war, maybe the food was snatched, maybe the food was eaten and there was nowhere to replenish it, or because the child was a burden and abandoned, and so on.
"No more. After the examination, Alice shook her head, "The pupils have dilated, and I can't save them." ā
Sheila covered her mouth, it was very uncomfortable to watch a living person die in front of her, not to mention that it was a child who died. Even though Sheila is a very rational person, she is still a soft-hearted woman, otherwise she would not have ordered the search just now.
"Bury him, after all, he has met him, let him be buried in peace. Sheila looked at the hyena in the distance and said, "At least give him a whole corpse." ā
Lin Mingfeng nodded, turned around and went back to the car to get tools, while Fei Ai squatted beside the little boy and sorted out his appearance.
"In the next life, I will be reborn into a good family. She buttoned up the boy's clothes and wiped his face clean, "May the goddess watch over you." ā
Yue Ying didn't say a word, took the shovel thrown by Lin Mingfeng, and began to dig a pit with Wrench and the others.
It's all sand here, and it's not difficult to dig up, just to prevent the hyenas from digging out the corpses, they need to dig deeper, and the three men dig very seriously, and even the wrench doesn't mean to be lazy.
Soon, a cemetery about three meters deep took shape, and the burial ceremony was also very simple, Lin Mingfeng and a wrench put the little boy's body into the cemetery, and everyone prayed a little before starting to bury it.
"Don't be depressed, it's a civil war, and there will be a lot of things like that. When I went back, I saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so the wrench looked like a person who came over and persuaded him: "That's all we can do, let's hurry up and find the one named Yu Dut, and it is more practical to take a few of them back to complete the task!"
"The wrench is right, forget it this time, and the next time we encounter it, we can only turn a blind eye. Sheila, as the principal, had to stand up and speak: "Hurry up and finish eating, and then walk a little more." ā
Tsukizakura nodded and looked in the direction of the hyena again, there was nothing left there, neither green eyes nor monsters.
Maybe it's looking for a new corpse.
Sorry for missing a meal.
Yueying said in her heart.
