Chapter 241: Crisis

But after walking a few steps, the fat man suddenly fell to the ground.

He scolded and got up and kicked the snow under his feet: "Damn, where did the big stone come from, dare to trip the fat master......"

As a result, the fat man kicked a corpse out of the snow with one kick.

The fat man's kick was so strong that he kicked the corpse away.

We hurried after the corpse and took a closer look.

After some identification by several people, we found that the body belonged to the public family.

It seems that some of the public family died here.

Over the course of the day, we came across more than a dozen corpses.

Most of these corpses belong to the Nanyang Li family, and a small number belong to the public family.

And they were not injured, they were obviously dying of cold and starvation.

According to the frequency of the distribution of corpses, I don't know how many dead souls are waiting for us ahead.

It was getting darker, the wind was blowing even harder, and it was still snowing, and the temperature dropped sharply.

We immediately found a snow nest and squatted in, covered the canvas bags in our bags over the snow nest, and snuggled together to keep warm.

It was a long night, and I barely slept, and my mind was full of corpses that had died of cold and starvation.

It was easy to stay up until dawn, and when the heavy snow and wind finally stopped, we immediately packed our bags and continued on our way.

Fortunately, the further you went, the fewer and fewer corpses there were, until they finally disappeared completely.

It should be that the weak are all dead, and the remaining strong can cope with this harsh environment.

After walking all the way to about four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiaoxiao, who was walking at the back of the line, suddenly squatted down with a very painful expression.

I immediately nervously walked up and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoxiao took out a portable oxygen tank and took two sips of oxygen, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a lack of oxygen." Let's move on. ”

I saw that Xiaoxiao's face was sallow, and I couldn't help but worry: "Are you sure it's okay?"

Xiaoxiao said, "It's okay, keep walking." ”

With that, Li Xiaoxiao stood up and continued to move forward.

As a result, Li Xiaoxiao had just taken three or four steps, but she popped and fell to the ground again.

"Xiaoxiao!" I was shocked, and hurriedly pounced on Li Xiaoxiao and picked her up.

My hand inadvertently touched her brow and I noticed that her brow was very hot.

"Oops!" my heart was overcast: "Why do you have a fever at this time?" ”

If you have a fever in this harsh environment, you will lose your life.

"Fatty, Zhang Dashao, go to the front to find a snow nest, let's camp and rest. Li Xiaoxiao had a fever. ”

As I spoke, I took off my padded jacket and wrapped it around Li Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Dashao and the fat man immediately nodded and rushed forward: "Let's go find a snow nest, set up a tent and make a fire, and we will come to meet you later." ”

As soon as the two of them took a step, the monkey suddenly pounced on him, hugged the fat man's legs, and prevented him from leaving.

The monkey pointed at the fat man, and then at Li Xiaoxiao in my arms, and then it ran forward.

The monkey wanted the fat man to take care of Li Xiaoxiao with me, and he and Zhang Dashao went to find a place to rest.

The fat man patted Zhang Da Shao on the shoulder: "Dude, you and the monkey should go." That monkey has spirituality, and it is easier to find a safe place to rest. ”

Zhang Dashao nodded immediately, chased after the monkey, and disappeared from our sight not long after.

The fat man and I took turns to chase Li Xiaoxiao forward.

After running not far, Li Xiaoxiao talked nonsense in a daze: "Dad, I'm Li Yifan's woman, you can't kill him......"

"Dad, please...... Don't go against him......"

"If you dare to touch a single hair of his hair, my daughter will die in front of you today......"

The fat man looked at me and smiled bitterly: "This girl is quite affectionate and righteous." It's not going to end well for you kid. ”

Yes, things are getting more and more out of my control, and it's not easy to end.

I hurriedly comforted Li Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, you have a high fever, we will be in a safe place soon, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Li Xiaoxiao opened her eyes with difficulty, and when she saw me, she smiled weakly: "It's good to see you when you open your eyes." ”

"Close your eyes and rest. I reprimanded, "If you don't say anything if you know you have a high fever, do you want to die?"

She didn't speak, just shrunk her little head into my arms, closed her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

After about ten kilometers of travel, we found Zhang Dashao.

At this time, Zhang Dashao was standing next to a big pit and beckoning to us.

When I got closer, I found that the big pit was very large, about 20 meters deep and more than 200 meters in radius.

On the walls of the pit on all sides of the pit, there are many water holes, which are caves eroded by water, and it seems that this big pit used to be a lake, but for some reason, the lake has dried up.

We found a hole two meters in diameter and drilled into it.

Zhang Dashao blocked the entrance to the cave with canvas, blocking the wind and snow.

The fat man was busy boiling water with the simple gas stove and kettle he carried with him.

The temperature inside the cave slowly rose, and we all let out a long sigh of relief.

This moment is the most enjoyable moment in the past three days.

After the water boiled, I immediately fed Li Xiaoxiao some to drink, and the rest of the water wiped her forehead.

Not long after drinking water, Li Xiaoxiao was sweating all over, and she also fell asleep steadily.

The hot sweat would take away some of the temperature of her body, and her high fever finally subsided somewhat.

I finally let go of my hanging heart.

I still only hugged Li Xiaoxiao, worried that if I put her on the ground, she would catch a cold again.

"Zhang Dashao, fat man, monkey, you guys rest first, I'll keep vigil. ”

Zhang Dashao waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll keep vigil." You rest first. In case of an enemy attack, you are the main force, and it is not possible to rest well. ”

Zhang Dashao told the truth, and I didn't be polite to him, hugging Li Xiaoxiao and closing his eyes.

I was so tired that I fell asleep shortly after closing my eyes.

I slept like this for an unknown amount of time, and I suddenly felt the ground tremble.

I woke up violently and hurriedly looked around.

The gas stove had gone out, and the cave was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

I hurriedly shouted, "Zhang Dashao, what was the movement just now." ”

But what answered me was a deathly movement.

At this point, the ground trembled again.

The fat man also screamed anxiously: "Oops, it can't be an earthquake." ”

I hurriedly said to the fat man: "Fat man, you come over to guard Li Xiaoxiao, I'll go out to see the situation." ”

The fat man stumbled to me in the dark, and I handed Li Xiaoxiao to him, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

When I rushed to the entrance of the cave, I found that Zhang Dashao and the monkey were gone, and the tent blocking the entrance of the cave was also lifted and discarded in a messy corner.

I poked my head out of the cave and shouted outside, "Zhang Dashao, monkey, where are you?"
