The fat man didn't care about this kick, and lay down directly on his moisture-proof mat, and suddenly said: "Oops, the sonic attack makes me drowsy, haha!" ”

And Xu Qiang, who was about to pounce, was also amused by this sentence, and laughed with the fat man, and at the same time as his arrogance rose again, his sleepiness also rose infinitely. After adding enough firewood to burn overnight, go straight into the sleeping bag and sleep.

In ancient times, fire is a powerful weapon that can make all evils retreat, with it, there will be basically no beasts dare to approach here at night, the ancient ancestors invented drilling wood for fire, flint for fire, dispelling the dark cold night, ending the history of human wool and drinking blood, and the process of development and evolution is gradually accelerating. The Suiren clan, who invented artificial fire, has been honored as the Suihuang by many ancestors and tribes, and its status can be seen.

What's more, there is also our big-eared Luo Fatzi, as well as Xu Qiang, who has been a scout, has a lot of experience in survival in the wild, and they will be very vigilant in an unfamiliar environment.

Sleep until dawn.

In the faint light of the day, only a faint flame remained of the bonfire that had been burning all night, swaying under the blowing of the morning breeze, and the two people who had rested all night woke up one after another, nested in their sleeping bags and rested for another three or five minutes, and their spirits gradually rose. There was a chill in the air, which did not prevent the two of them from quickly getting up and packing their bags and putting them in the off-road pickup truck.

Just when the two were discussing going to the stream yesterday to wash up and have breakfast, the sharp-eyed Xu Qiang suddenly discovered something that made him feel terrifying, he had always been calm and calm, and he had survived the things that hit his confidence and almost broke him down, and he trembled when he spoke at the moment. After taking a deep breath, he tried to calm down so that he did not appear so panicked, and then stretched out his right hand and said to the fat man:

"Fat, fat, look, what's going on?"

"What's wrong, Brother Qiang?"

The fat man who was sitting on a stone with a red pepper and rubbing the corners of his mouth back and forth was in a good mood and humming a song. After hearing Xu Qiang's words, he didn't feel anything wrong, stood up and looked at Xu Qiang's fingers, the scene in front of him made his pupils shrink, the peppers in his hands fell to the ground, his mouth trembled, and he stammered and asked:

"Strong, strong, strong, brother, what's wrong with this? It wasn't like that yesterday! Xu Qiang shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either, and his eyes once again turned to the suffocating earth under the mountain.

What unfolded in front of the two of them was a scorched earth, a real scorched earth, without any living flowers, trees, and animals. The earth was scorched by the mountain fire to form cracks one by one, cracked open, as if the deep wrinkles on the old man's face after the wind and frost, the old appearance made people cry and impressive. Large sections of blackened and broken trees lay on the ground, with no branches and leaves, only the low, bare trunks, which could not be seen, and endless ashes covered the vast expanse of land below the mountain, covering everything and extending into the distance, with no end in sight.

Under the ashes, there are the remains of various animals, and the larger ones can be guessed by the outline of some kind of animal, such as an elephant like a hill, a saber-toothed tiger with four long fangs in the mouth of the skull, and an animal lying on the stone at the foot of the nearby mountain, with its round head and long beak and black claws growing from its limbs, which may be a huge bear; And the smaller ones, it is estimated that they have become ashes, and they can no longer see their original appearance.

The water in the rivers and lakes had evaporated, leaving only deep ravines and cracked silt, and the big fish that were struggling in the mud and were charred.

Everything can only be described as a disaster, this is a fire that destroys the world, but it comes silently. Looking at the messy ground, the two people standing on the mountain were speechless for a long time, feeling like a world apart, I don't know if this really happened after going to bed last night, or if everything that happened before going to bed last night was an illusion. It's as if there are invisible hands behind him, unknowingly causing all this.

Xu Qiang suddenly turned around and looked at the cave they had entered last night, the cave was still there, but it was just a small shallow mountain nest, one meter wide and no more than two meters deep, and at a glance they could see the dusty stone wall behind them. The passage they had seen yesterday, the colorful and mysterious cave had disappeared as if it had never existed, and the statue of the old gentleman preaching had long since disappeared.

All this is like a dream, Xu Qiang and the two of them have been in a dream since they passed through the circle of fire, they are deep in it, and they will never wake up.

"Hey, ah, it hurts, it's not a dream, otherwise it wouldn't hurt so much."

Xu Qiang looked speechlessly at the fat man Luo who was grinning at the moment, his hand had just been removed from his thigh, which had not had a few taels of meat.

"Don't pinch, it's true, everything that happened before going to bed last night is true, and it's definitely a terrifying existence that we can't understand about all this."

Xu Qiang cast his gaze on a brighter sky in the distance, which should be the east, thoughtfully.

And Luo Fatzi was nervous, afraid of this unexplainable thing, and habitually put the chili pepper in his hand into his mouth and took a bite, the thick spicy taste filled the entire nasal cavity, and the long-lost hot and spicy feeling in his mouth was like a fire, which made him feel better.

The smell of chili peppers reached Xu Qiang's nose, which surprised him, and he reached out and snatched the half of the chili pepper from the fat man's hand.

"What's wrong, Brother Qiang?"

Looking at the half of the chili pepper in his hand, and the golden seeds wrapped in the chili skin, he said to the fat man with a smile:

"If you want to be able to breathe chili peppers in this world in the future, then don't eat it anymore, these seeds mean more chili peppers."

"yes, I didn't think that we could grow more peppers, I have to endure and eat them when they are grown. I still have three more on me, come, Brother Qiang, these should be saved with the half in your hand, and when we settle down, we will find a suitable opportunity to plant them. Haha, it's exciting to think about it, we will be hunters and farmers in the future! ”

Looking at the fat man who had opened his mind, Xu Qiang laughed, and he was also full of confidence in the next arrangement.

"Fatty, I'm going to arrange the next plan like this, you see if it's suitable, if it's not suitable, we'll discuss it again."

"Good!"

The fat man looked at Xu Qiang, looking attentive, curious about his next words.

"If what we saw last night is true, then our current location is probably in the Funiu Mountains on the border of Nanyang and Luoyang, considering that there will be a big drop in the earth's environmental temperature in the future, then it is our better choice to go to the warmer south."
