Chapter 81: The Candle Theory
When Wan Zhi and An Xiangtao came back, the scene was that Shi Junzi and Shi Junzi were surrounded by twenty or thirty people, and the two of them were holding a girl and waving their hands and singing crazy songs, and the two men next to them looked at them with resentment, I am afraid that they were the companions of the two women. And the rest of the people sat under the trees bored, or rested. Yu Guo was still sitting there quietly with Guo Ke and Han Xin.
"Alas! Big Brother Wanzhi is back? ”
The man who carried the gold shouted excitedly, Wan Zhi learned that his name was Kuo Jin, and although Kuo Jin was also a newcomer, Wan Zhi admired him very much. Ran nodded and smiled: "Yes, as you said, this fire will last for about two days, and we only have more than two days left, we have to find a way to get over." ”
"By the way, Kuojin, do you know how many people have passed through the road? Who were there in the past? Kuojin shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I know that there are about 30 people in the road, and there were only more than 200 people who crossed the chain bridge at the beginning, and we were attacked by mutants on the way, and I am afraid there are not many survivors." ”
In fact, Kuojin was only guessing, they were also attacked at that time, and the original combination of more than twenty people now has no more than six brothers, plus when he walked along the way, he saw a lot of corpses, and even secretly wrote down the number. Just in this way, there were more than sixty people on their side, and there were only about twenty or thirty people on the small island after the fire.
Wan Zhi nodded, he admired Kuojin's carefulness, and then asked, "Do you know where the oil trees are nearby?" Kuo Jin didn't know what to look for, so he pointed to the left side of the forest and said: "Almost all oil trees are born on the edge of the cliff, and you can see them after walking here for more than ten minutes, but I still want to ask what you are looking for oil trees." ”
Wan Zhi smiled, and then said loudly to everyone: "Brothers and sisters, I have a way to get over as soon as possible, but I hope everyone will cooperate." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Wan Zhi, and Shi Junzi was secretly unhappy, but they still stopped their high-pitched speech.
"Do you really have a solution? Why don't you tell us about it? The people sitting under the tree could not help but ask, they were also in a hurry, if there was a way, they might as well try. Wan Zhi stretched out his hand and pointed to the position pointed by Kuo Jin, and said, "A short walk from here, you can find the oil tree burned by the fire, and we need the oil from the oil tree." ”
Kuo Jin couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he had already roughly guessed the purpose of Wanzhi, but someone didn't understand and scolded: "What are you doing with oil?" Do you still have to add some ingredients to that fire? Several people spoke up, but most remained silent, they didn't quite understand what Wanzhi wanted the oil to do. Wan Zhi didn't care about other people's verbal attacks, and said with a smile: "I just went to investigate, this fire must take two days to go out, and we only have more than two days left before the time of the game, although the fire can be extinguished in two days, but how long will it take for the ash charcoal after the fire is extinguished?" ”
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and one of them asked loudly, "What does that have to do with finding tree oil?" Wan Zhi smiled and said nothing, he glanced at Kuo Jin, Kuo Jin took a step forward slightly, and then smiled at everyone: "The oil tree is like a candle, the tree is like a wax heart, and the tree oil is the wax body, have you ever seen a candle that can burn without a wax heart?" Wax will only burn when it encounters an open flame, and Brother Wanzhi wants to say that we can apply tree oil to our bodies, and we will wrap our bodies to wax our bodies, and then rush all the way through the fire forest after the fire is extinguished. ”
"If we don't do anything to pass, I'm afraid we won't go far and we will die of severe dehydration, and we use tree oil, in order to resist the heat, not to be seriously dehydrated, it can help us isolate most of the heat, even if the oil on our body melts, we will not catch fire, at most it is a little uncomfortable. We have to do this, or wait until the fire is completely extinguished, and the game time is over! You've gone through a lot of hardships to get here! How can you give up because of a little difficulty? Ran Yao pointed ahead and shouted excitedly: "The destination is behind that small island, but it is only an hour away!" Are you willing to see this opportunity missed? ”
After Kuojin finished speaking, everyone bowed their heads and fell silent, they were thinking, thinking about how to choose. Wan Zhi gave a thumbs up to Kuo Jin, Kuo Jin actually saw through his mind at a glance, his persuasive power surprised Wan Zhi, this person has strong observation ability and guiding thinking ability, and he will definitely be a famous person in the future.
"That'...... What should I do? ”
A man sitting under a tree slowly stood up. Wan Zhi nodded at him and smiled: "It's easy to do, we just need to collect enough tree oil, I only have a way, we just need to raise our spirits, and then rush straight through together and run to the finish line!" Wan Zhi's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and everyone stood up excitedly when they heard this, and everyone's face exuded excitement.
"Good! I'll go! ”
"I'll go too!"
Everyone promised, and even the arrogant man just now shouted hello. Wan Zhi nodded happily, then looked at Kuojin and smiled: "Then Brother Kuojin will show us the way?" Kuojin waved his hand politely and smiled: "Brother Wanzhi said that you are my idol, I will go, I will go!" Then he took his five brothers and went forward.
Burning and Shi Junzi looked disappointed, because the "fans" who were still around them just now were called away, but the two had to shrug their shoulders and stand up and walk forward with everyone. Wan Zhi turned to An Xiangtao and said, "Peach, you and Yuguo stay here first, and I'll go back when I go." An nodded obediently to Tao, and snorted.
Wan Zhi shouted softly to Yu Guo: "Brother, rest well, and leave the rest to my brother!" Yu Guo smiled faintly, and then threw a cigar and shot it straight at Wan Zhi, who reached out to take it and turned away with a smile, and fifty or sixty people entered the left side of the forest in a mighty manner.
When the people arrived at the edge of the cliff, they found the oil tree, and everyone broke the tree with stones or iron rods, and then took off their clothes and pants, and the few six or seven women did not expect such a scene to happen, and they couldn't help but be angry and ashamed, and they handed them the empty water bottles they had collected apologetically, and said: "I'm really sorry, because we can't find too many empty bottles, so we can only use this method." Then you only need to soak your clothes one day earlier, and the next day it will naturally dry, but it will be uncomfortable for a day. The women were relieved.
When they returned to their original place, it was already nearly dark, and everyone hung their clothes on the surrounding trees, because the tree oil on the clothes was better resistant to heat after drying, and it could resist it for a while before it began to melt, so the scene now was a group of men wearing various movements in their inner knots, and the women had already shyly started a small fire in the distance.
Burning and Shi Junzi took their "fans" to the small river under the cliff to catch fish, and at the end of the year, a group of obscene men returned to the "base camp" with their achievements.
The smell of grilled fish came from the air, but Wan Zhi looked up and looked into the distance with a worried face, the fire that rose into the sky made him extremely uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't be completely sure of the method of using tree oil in this trip, according to theory, it was possible, but in practice it would always be different. However, he was most worried about who was the arsonist and what was his purpose?
"Hey, Wanzhi, it's time for grilled fish!" Shi Junzi couldn't help shouting when he saw Wanzhi's melancholy back. Wan Zhi touched his dizzy head, then turned around and sat down to pick up a fork and roast the fish by himself. Shi Junzi suddenly stiffened in place, and Wan Zhi ignored him again, but this time it was different, and the woman next to him snorted: "Why don't you invite people to eat?" ”
The atmosphere was joyful on one side and silent on the other. For Burning and Shi Junzi, it is: there are sisters, there is joy, this is life.
Two days and two nights have passed, and everyone has stayed here for two days, since they listened to Wanzhi's advice, everyone seems to have formed a big group, why is it a combination, because they are still scattered, their trust in people has been seriously marked with a question mark, but now, at this moment, they are undoubtedly a big group.
They were walking on the road, and they set out early in the morning, for the past two days, Wan Zhi had been checking the fire, and in the early hours of last night he saw that the fire had almost degenerated, and he guessed that it would be completely extinguished this morning, but there would still be a remaining dark fire. But they had no choice, at this time the game was only more than ten hours away, and it officially ended at 12 o'clock at noon, and they had to set off.
In the past two days, Yuguo's injuries have improved slightly, although he has not fully recovered, but he has also recovered about seventy percent. And Shi Junzi was extremely lacking and no one appreciated his art of grilling fish, so he forced Yu Guo and Han Xin to eat an unknown number of fish, so Han Xin also recovered a lot.
The men were dressed in oil-coated clothes and trousers, which had long since dried and hardened, which made the oil-coated clothes look like a hard piece of paper, and the women were prepared in advance, they were too embarrassed to take off their clothes, so they had to pour the oil on their upper bodies a day earlier, but their clothes became tights, but they showed more beautiful figures.
Everyone's face and head are stained with money, this is still a private sponsorship of Yuguo, they are very uncomfortable, in order to make the money can be firmly attached to the face, can only be dipped in tree oil and pasted on the face, the most Wanzhi only found that it seems to have no effect, but he didn't dare to tell others, and then asked someone to wash his face again with tree oil, in fact, Wan Zhi has been secretly scolded countless times.
