21 Life is the primary purpose of existence

The sky is dark, the water is yellow, the rain is transparent one by one, along the glass cover of the helmet, like a plastic earthworm, arching slowly and slowly crawling down, Wu Xiaoqing stretched out his hand to wipe it, trying to widen his eyes, so that the vision is clearer.

It didn't take long for Wu Xiaoqing to see the scene of several people holding the branches of a big tree and shouting for help at him. Wu Xiaoqing didn't try to get close to the past like he had done a few times before, because he knew that he couldn't help the other party by relying on the past, but might bring danger to himself. He just followed the request of the search and rescue team and circled around them twice from a distance.

It wasn't that they were trying to save them, but that the search and rescue team was looking at the actual height of the tree — and then judging the direction in which Wu Xiaoqing was heading, to determine if he was moving in a shallower direction.

After the search and rescue team confirmed the new voyage, they used a green sign in their glasses to remind Wu Xiaoqing to turn, and Wu Xiaoqing complied, but when he left, he couldn't help but look back a few more times. He's starting to get used to it, but he can't ignore it yet.

The latest group of people should be from a tribe, and Wu Xiaoqing saw that they all had similar camouflage stripes painted on their faces. The tribe's luck was terrible, they were already on the verge of escaping - according to the search and rescue team's estimates, they should be able to see land a few dozen kilometers to the northwest.

But they still chose to rest, maybe because of the lack of food, everyone was exhausted, maybe because they saw that the sky had cleared and felt that the disaster had passed—primitive people's understanding of the flood seemed to be that when it rained on their heads, the water would rise, and if it didn't fall, it would fall.

But they didn't know that they were in the middle and lower reaches of the entire flood area, so when the upstream came again, everyone in the tribe instantly became fish and turtles.

Perhaps because of the correct course, next, the things in Wu Xiaoqing's field of vision began to become richer. All sorts of floats, animals struggling to swim in the water, and finally, even birds resting on logs resting on the water's surface.

According to the tips of the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing immediately followed the group of birds, and after two hours of chasing, he finally saw that at the end of his field of vision, in the direction of the water and sky, a whole piece of earth appeared.

Counting the total time, he drove for a total of 18 hours, and the straight-line distance from the Noah was 928 kilometers.

But this does not mean that Wu Xiaoqing's mission is over, if Wu Xiaoqing does not find land, it is the end, and now, it is just a beginning.

According to the tips of the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing chose to go ashore behind a reef, and after tying the motorboat to a rock, Wu Xiaoqing put on his heavy bag and carefully walked onto land.

After driving the boat for 18 hours in a row, Wu Xiaoqing was already tired and almost unbearable, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly, and the unlucky drowned tribe reminded Wu Xiaoqing that in this primitive era, any slackness could lead to the worry of his life.

It should be morning and the sky is clear, and if there is a tribe in the vicinity, it should be the best time for them to go out fishing. Wu Xiaoqing took the telescope and waited patiently for a while, and after making sure that no trace was found, he walked towards the interior of the landing land.

According to the process they had discussed at the previous meeting, Wu Xiaoqing needed to determine whether this place was suitable for landing on land and whether he could feed a boatload of people. If it is not suitable, then it is necessary to establish a base on land, of course, not by Wu Xiaoqing, but through teleportation, some people on the earth will be sent over to work without their own knowledge.

These are nothing, although a person in the wilderness, there may be fierce beasts or something, it is indeed a bit scary, but Wu Xiaoqing is not afraid, on the contrary, there is a little expectation. What Wu Xiaoqing is most worried about now is that if people are found in this vicinity, or some complete tribes, it will be troublesome.

If there are tribes that have escaped here and occupied the territory, then as latecomers, it will be difficult for them to do many things - especially for the earthlings to reform, because the principle of confidentiality is involved, and the search and rescue team will not compromise at all. At the previous meeting, Shen Changwen even put forward an idea - if a few primitive people or small tribes are really discovered, even if they are all killed, it is not impossible to consider.

Compared with one or two thousand people, or even thousands of people in the future, tens of thousands of people live and die, this is indeed nothing. But Wu Xiaoqing still expressed his resolute opposition at the meeting, and in the end, Shen Changwen did not insist on this line of thought, and the compromise was only that if there was really a tribe, then deceive them and let them go to other places and vacate the place for resettlement.

Looking at the terrain here, it should be all mountainous, almost no soil can be seen, the ground is very undulating, Wu Xiaoqing according to the search and rescue team said, first set off towards a commanding height, and then use a telescope to carefully observe the situation on the ground. Wu Xiaoqing spent more than two hours climbing the mountain, and after reaching the top of the mountain and determining the general safety of the surroundings, Wu Xiaoqing's physical strength had been completely exhausted.

He turned his clothes inside out, put the camouflage side on the outside, and nibbled on compressed cookies and chocolates as he pulled out his sleeping bag from his backpack. After eating, Wu Xiaoqing soaked his urine and then fell asleep in the warm sunshine. Before going to bed, he didn't forget to take off his glasses and face them in the direction of the descent — so that the search and rescue team could help him while he slept.

It was the first time to sleep in another world before, and now it is the first time to sleep in the wilderness of another world without protection. When Wu Xiaoqing was sleeping at home, he fantasized about all kinds of adventures in another world every day, but now he is really in the midst of adventures, but all he thinks about is the big bed at home.

……

The mobile phone is vibrating, this is the contact information that the search and rescue team made an appointment with Wu Xiaoqing.

Because the distance is too far away and there is no way to pinpoint the location, the search and rescue team will not use teleportation unless absolutely necessary. Wu Xiaoqing ordered a walkie-talkie online, but it was still in the express delivery, so the only way to communicate for the time being was Wu Xiaoqing's mobile phone - although in this world, the mobile phone could not receive a signal at all, but the search and rescue team could still contact it after determining the general direction.

You can't send a specific message, but as long as you can vibrate to prompt Wu Xiaoqing, the rest can be seen through that pair of glasses.

I just woke up, my eyes haven't adjusted to my surroundings, and now it's night again. Wu Xiaoqing could only touch his glasses according to his memory, and then saw the subtitles of the search and rescue team: "Sober up first, there may be a situation around." ”

Wu Xiaoqing poured some water out of the kettle, washed his face, and then looked around, there was indeed a situation.

Standing on the top of Wu Xiaoqing's mountain, it can be easily seen that under his nose is a valley surrounded by three mountains, this valley is also the base location that the search and rescue team originally planned, and the terrain here has been sent to Shen Changwen for planning, but now, Wu Xiaoqing sees that there is fire in that valley.

Wu Xiaoqing picked up the binoculars, looked at it roughly, and frowned. His worst fears seemed to have happened—the fire was a bonfire, surrounded by several people.

"Wu Xiaoqing, check your gun and ammunition." The subtitles of the search and rescue team reminded him.

"Big brother," Wu Xiaoqing didn't face the search and rescue team so simply for the first time, and said with some hesitation, "There's no need, I'm in the mountains, and it's night, they definitely didn't see me, if they saw it during the day, they would have seen it earlier." ”

"Do you want to waste 5 minutes of inspection, or do you want to waste the next 50 years of your life?" The subtitles for the search and rescue team are cold and effective.

Wu Xiaoqing complied, he used the gun, for a person of his age, the attraction of the gun cannot be exaggerated, Wu Xiaoqing slept with the gun in his arms for the past two days. He'd tried to fire a few shots on the boat, and he probably knew how to use it, and he had learned the basics of aiming posture, but it was more of a game than training, and he never thought he'd ever use it ever before.

When he was replenishing the magazine, Wu Xiaoqing heard a hoarse howl in that direction, and although it was nearly two kilometers away, the sound was still heard clearly. After hearing this, Wu Xiaoqing's hands couldn't help but tremble, as if someone was already standing beside him with a big stick, ready to knock open his skull at any time.

Once the howl began, it continued one after the other, one after the other. Wu Xiaoqing didn't know what was going on there, the nervousness made him quickly speed up the movements in his hands, but the faster he made, the more mistakes he made, several times he held the bullet in the palm of his hand, and when he was ready to pinch it and load it, he subconsciously used a lot of force, and the result was that the bullet always slipped to the ground.

If Wu Xiaoqing was really on the battlefield, such a performance would have made him die a hundred times, but he was lucky that he had time now.

When Wu Xiaoqing picked up the telescope again, the miserable howl had gradually weakened, in the camera, Wu Xiaoqing saw the face of the howling person, painted with the pattern he had seen during the day, around him, surrounded by several people with smiles on their faces, one of them was holding a stone axe in his hand, Wu Xiaoqing saw that the axe was aimed at the thigh of the howling person, and chopped it down fiercely.

Wu Xiaoqing immediately realized what they were doing, he went to look at the few pieces of meat on the skewers on the bonfire, and after seeing it clearly, his whole stomach suddenly began to twitch.

The "prey" that was caught as meat was not only the howling man, but behind the man, there were several, all of them tied together with ropes like water and weeds, and they were watching their companions alive, but they did not dare to make a sound, and there was no movement at all.

Wu Xiaoqing felt that the blood on his body was boiling all of a sudden, and he even wanted to rush to those people immediately, shoot them at each of them, and solve them all. But he couldn't help but be afraid, although he had a gun in his hand, and the other party was just a few primitive people who were thin and weak, and couldn't nourish them, but seeing their expressions when they ate meat, Wu Xiaoqing felt scared from the bottom of his bones.

"You're too nervous, cannibalism is a common occurrence in disasters," the search and rescue team's captions seem to be talking about an unrelated topic, "They have their problems." ”

Wu Xiaoqing unconsciously picked at the stones on the ground with his two hands, and he didn't stop this action until his fingers were worn out, but there was a shareholder in his body that was drilling all over his body, and he didn't seem to be able to stop, he stopped his hand, and his teeth began to bite his lip fiercely again.

Wu Xiaoqing remembered those people, remembered the patterns on their faces, remembered the situation when they turned around and left when they asked for help from him, and it was precisely because of his memory that he couldn't control his anger like this.

"Survival is the primary purpose of life," the search and rescue team added, "even in the history of the earth, such a thing." ”

At this time, Wu Xiaoqing had already made a decision, he turned on the safety of the gun, and stood up suddenly, and the subtitles were interrupted at this time, probably knowing that Wu Xiaoqing's state at the moment could not be persuaded.

They all knew what was going to happen next, and they all acquiesced in what happened, and the subtitle just said at the end: "It's okay, just take it as a secret." ”
