Yang Xianmao was in a very heavy mood, reached out and grabbed the sheet and gently lifted it, and sure enough, he saw Zheng Orion's eyes slightly open, and the person was already dead. Corpse spots have appeared underneath his body. Grabbing his hand and moving it slightly, there was already a corpse freeze. It is enough to prove that the person is dead, and there is no need to even feel his pulse.

Yang Xianmao put the sheet back on and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it." I'll show you the wounds. ”

After showing the injuries to a few of them, he said, "The recovery from the injuries is not bad, you can continue to decoction the medicine according to my way, and the external medicine can be reapplied in the evening." If I have time in the evening, I will come to change the dressing for you, if I am not free, Zhou Orion's injuries are lighter, I can help them apply it, and they will help you apply it. ”

Zhou Lihu agreed, and then asked, "Childe, how is the situation in the town now? Is the scorched earth like a fire still spreading to this side?"

Yang Xianmao felt that it was necessary to let them know the truth so that they could deal with it. Otherwise, by the time the scorched earth spreads to them, it will be too late to think of a countermeasure.

So Yang Xianmao said: "The scorched earth that burned you has advanced a lot, and at the same time, we have found that this kind of scorched earth has also appeared in the upper reaches of the river, and the speed of spreading outward is about the same as that of the downstream. And everywhere these scorched earth went, the fish in the river magically died, but the river itself did not change significantly. However, we didn't enter those areas, so we don't know if it would be dangerous to people if we did. But we think it's better not to try it lightly. ”

Zhou Orion nervously said to Yang Xianmao: "What should we do if this happens? How long will it take for those terrible scorched earth to spread here?"

"According to my calculations, it may only be about half a month, and you must think of how to escape within half a month. But don't worry for the time being, you won't be able to get there for a while, your injuries should improve significantly within ten days, and there should be no problem walking by then. But these days are dangerous periods, and if the wound becomes infected, it can easily cause fatal complications. Therefore it is better for you to lie still these days, not to go out, and not to fight with others. ”

Several people hurriedly agreed. At this time, Yang Xianmao suddenly heard hurried footsteps and panicked talking on the street, he immediately leaned to the crack in the door to look out, and saw that there were many people on the street running downstream, talking nervously while running. After Yang Xianmao heard this, he knew that these people seemed to have discovered that the scorched earth spreading downstream was continuing to expand, and they had advanced a lot of distance to the village, and they were getting closer and closer to the village, and many people went to observe and wonder what to do.

Yang Xianmao told them to recuperate from their injuries, then pushed the door out and locked the door. He also followed these people downstream, wanting to see what would happen next, so that he could take a countermeasure.

He followed the gang out of the village, walked some way, and came to the place where the scorched earth had eroded. There were already a lot of people gathered here, some of them were throwing all kinds of objects in the direction of the scorched earth, some were throwing trees and stones, and some were throwing living creatures such as piglets. No matter what it was thrown over, it quickly turned into a pile of char in the scorched earth area.

The pig that had been thrown over screamed and fell to the ground, and before it could get up and take two steps, it stopped struggling in pain, and in a moment it was burned to a piece of charcoal. Let these people look terrified, and everyone thinks that when the next scorched earth is pressed, they will also become like this.

As we watched the scorched earth move forward, we could see from time to time all sorts of small animals coming out of the woods that had not yet eroded. After spotting the crowd, he ran into the scorched earth in a panic and was quickly burned into char.

From time to time, people come to watch, and from time to time, people run back in a panic to discuss with their families what to do. The whole village was busy, and no one was fighting each other. For there is a danger greater than the enemy, and they are approaching terribly.

Yang Xianmao only looked at it for a moment, and then retreated with the people who were walking back. His heart was heavy, for the rapidly expanding scorched earth area was spreading towards the village as well as the mountaintops. Once they spread to the top of the mountain, and then push up a large area along the top of the mountain, the space left for them will become smaller and smaller.

Yang Xianmao walked forward, looking around, and suddenly he stopped and looked across the river. Some surprises were found that there was no scorched earth in Nanshan.

The first scorched earth to appear was the downstream dark river channel, which expanded outward. And this river in the village of disaster meanders. The mountain range that encloses the south side of the river is Namsan Mountain. Of course, the two ends of Nanshan are connected to the east and west mountain ranges, and there is no obvious boundary, only a river as the boundary. However, the scorched earth that spread from the river continued to spread eastward, but there was little erosion in the direction of Nanshan. Could it be that Nanshan is the last life-saving Noah's Ark?

Yang Xianmao did not think that this hypothesis could be valid, even if this scorched earth would not erode Nanshan. But there are all kinds of terrifying monsters and strange deadly plants on the South Mountain, and escaping into it is the same as being burned to death in scorched earth. It's really hard to say which one died more deservedly.

Yang Xianmao was walking back when suddenly two beggars ran over. He bowed in front of him and said, "Master Zhuo, our helper has an invitation, please go and discuss the matter." ”

Yang Xianmao also wanted to know what everyone's countermeasures were, and at this time, all the people in the disaster avoidance village were in the same boat. You have to cooperate with each other to get out together, and it's very difficult to rely on one of them.

Yang Xianmao followed the two beggars to the courtyard of the beggar gang, which was crowded with people. Basically, there are no lying downs, not lazily basking in the sun like before, but talking to each other anxiously, looking quite nervous. Even though they are just beggars, they still value their lives. When their lives are in danger, they also become extremely anxious.

This is not the same as encountering a strong enemy, and when encountering a strong enemy, they may be more of a kind of excitement and nervousness before the battle. And now they are not excited, not even nervous, more horror, horror of death. It's like a prisoner who has been sentenced to death and will soon be put to justice, thinking about how to save his life.

The Qian Gang Leader had already received the reward and was greeted at the door with a few elders. After Yang Xianmao came in, he welcomed Yang Xianmao in, and the guests and hosts sat down, and several elders sat nervously and stared at Yang Xianmao. The Qian Gang Master said, "Please, Brother Zhuo. Now that the disaster is coming, the passage has been blocked, which has caused chaos in the village, and everyone is grabbing food. ”

But then there was a scorched earth that had been burned by a fire, and everywhere it went, there was no grass and no animals or trees spared. Several people have died in this scorched earth, including two of our beggars' disciples. How can we stop it in the face of such a disaster? I also asked Brother Zhuo to help me think of a way. ”

Yang Xianmao looked around and asked, "By the way, what about Qian Shanren?"

"He's already gone. He said that he had to take care of his family first, and he couldn't take care of so much of his illness. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "He is worthy of being a great good person, thinking about others in everything." It is really admirable that he would rather think about the safety of his family first and then take care of his own illness. ”

He looked back at the Qian Gang Master and a few elders and said, "I don't know what you think?"

The Qian Gang Master shook his head awkwardly and said, "We have no way at all, and the waterway has been blocked." Surrounded by a miasma of smoke, there is no way out. We know that Brother Zhuo is very knowledgeable, and you should be able to figure out a way. Please Brother Zhuo do not hesitate to give advice, and everyone will get through the difficulties together. ”

Yang Xianmao lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "So far, through my observations, I have found that according to the speed of the mysterious power that expands outward along the exit and entrance at the east and west, it will only take about half a month to flood all the places in the entire Disaster Avoidance Village. We must find a way out in half a month, and as the gang leader said, the passage has collapsed. ”

"And I can tell you that I found that there is that mysterious power in the river, but it only destroys living things, it has no effect on the water, and all the fish in the water die. So I don't know if I can escape this terrible magical power on the surface, and if I can, I can only hide in the river. But that can only be hidden for a while, not for a lifetime, because of the food problem. And if all the fish in the river are dead, it will be impossible to catch fish and eat. So after a long time, I still have to die. ”

Several elders looked at each other and looked at each other. They all looked at Yang Xianmao nervously and said, "In this way, we have no choice." ”

Yang Xianmao said again: "I noticed one thing, I don't know if you have noticed? That is, this terrible power that has been swallowed up, except for the fact that it is not obvious on the water, has almost no intrusion in Nanshan. Perhaps we will eventually have to retreat to Nanshan to survive. ”

The Qian Gang Leader was taken aback and said, "Nanshan? There are monsters rampant in there, and there is no way to live at all." Entering it is certain to die, which is tantamount to seeking your own death. ”

Yang Xianmao said: "This is a dilemma, either wait for that terrible devouring power to devour us all and turn us into a piece of coke. Either enter the land of smoke and miasma and be poisoned, or enter Nanshan and fight those demons and monsters. I went to Nanshan once, I didn't know how powerful it was, but after entering it, it was really dangerous, but fortunately, God forbid, I finally broke out. ”

"So in my opinion, there is still hope for survival when entering Nanshan. Staying on the other side of the river is a dead end, and so far I can't find a way to fight this terrifying devouring force. So I'm going to wait and see from the river. If there is nowhere to stay in the village on this side of the river, the only way to retreat is to the river. If you can't live on the river, the last way is to retreat to Nanshan, and if the devouring power finally swallows all Nanshan, then you can only stare dryly. ”

The Qian Gang Master nodded and said, "Thank you Gongzi for reminding me, this suggestion is very important, we will prepare immediately and stay on the river." It would be best if I could hold on to the river, and I could find a way to dig a tunnel through the miasma, and maybe find a way to break through. However, the smoke miasma is almost two miles wide, and it will probably take a long time to dig such a tunnel, and we must hold on until that time. ”

"And now Childe said that the devouring power has only been in less than half a month from the beginning to now, and it can sweep through the entire disaster avoidance village. Except for the river and the South Mountain, it is very difficult to dig a hole in the ground in half a month and cross to the other end of the two-mile road. Because there are many rocks on this mountain, in addition to the many rocks on the surface, it will be difficult to dig a tunnel, but there is no way to do it. ”

"But Childe said that it is only half a month, and there is no way to dig such a passage in other places in this half month, and I am afraid it will take more time. At that time, it was only excavated from Nanshan. ”
