Chapter 22: Escape!
"Let's go! It's only a few kilometers away from your final destination, and from here, you go north, and you'll be able to find the lake river again in two days!"
Sivir did not give him an impassioned cheer for the novice as Chen Xi expected, but directly asked Chen Xi to leave the team.
"Why?"
"It's not your fight!"
Chen Xi was a little annoyed in his puzzlement, if it wasn't his own battle, what was he in the team?
"Why! We've been coming all the way from Berguin for so long, and the Sandstorm and the Milos Swarm haven't been able to help us, why do you want to send me away if it's not my war!"
Chen Xi's loud shout attracted many eyes.
"It's not your war! Our mercenary group has a deep hatred for the Shakhar, but you don't!"
Xavier said lightly, so that Chen Xi's anger hit the cotton.
"Oh, why not, Cologne died at their hands, and my life was saved by Cologne!"
In order to refute Sivir's statement that there is no hatred, Chen Xi moved out Cologne, who was not very close to him, and Chen Xi did not lie, Cologne, the life-saving benefactor, did die at the hands of Shakar, this is the information that Chen Xi got from Lien in Berguen.
"Don't you understand? All of us here can risk our lives! This war, no one here, including me, may be able to survive! Yes, you have killed the Milos worm, but what are you going to do in the immediate battle, or do you hide behind me? On the other side are people! Living people! Although each of them has blood on their hands! Although you hate them to the core! But you can guarantee that you will be the first to fight with your sword?"
"In this battle, there is no way that no one will protect you! Your participation in the war can only add a new burden to us! Let more of us be killed by mistakes!"
Xavier's explosive roar made Chen Xi's whole body stunned, he never thought that he was so insignificant in the team, and even could only be reduced to a drag on the team.
"I ......"
"It's time for you to go! Follow us, you can't reach the Giant God Peak! From here, find another tributary of the Lake River, according to your previous plan, find the Giant God Peak, and come back alive! When the time comes, I'll ask you for a drink!"
With that, Sivir no longer gave Chen Xi a chance to argue, and turned to leave.
"You guys, who is going to fill Chen Xi with water!"
"Me!"
Kunta, who was ridiculing Chen Xi's wife, walked up, filled Chen Xi's kettle with a mercenary's kettle that was a little bigger than Chen Xi, and stuffed two long strips of jerky into Chen Xi's arms before he could react.
"The regiment commander is like this, she is also for your own good, you have not killed anyone, you really can't help in this battle, but will put yourself in danger!"
Patting Chen Xi on the shoulder, Quinta continued.
"Actually, we admire you a lot, dare to cross the entire desert by yourself and go back, if this is left alone, I won't dare anyway! In fact, you are about to face even more danger! No matter how fierce this battle is, we are all eighty percent sure that we will win, and more than half of the brothers will be able to survive, but if we cross the desert alone, the chance of survival is less than one percent!"
Kunta patted Chen Xi's face, woke him up, and stuffed two pieces of cotton fabric into the backpack behind Chen Xi.
"The desert is dangerous, I know you have something to do with the Sun Cult, don't come back if you can......! In fact, the head of the regiment also thought so, but she had a good face and didn't say anything! Okay, be careful on the road!"
Until this time, Chen Xi actually had a friendship with this person who had known him for less than half a month, and the tip of his nose was a little sour.
Quinta turned and left slowly, but he didn't take two steps, and turned his head again, and when Chen Xi thought he was still doing something serious, he howled out in his throat.
"Have a nice trip, Mrs. Commander!
"Hahaha!"
Looking at Kunta, who was knocked to the ground by a stone, such a funny look did make Chen Xi laugh, but the sourness on the tip of his nose was even more serious!
Chen Xi turned around and walked slowly along another sand dune pit towards the north.
"Don't die, boy!"
Chen Xi paused, this is the second person to shout this sentence to himself, both of them are stubborn people!
"Got it!"
Without looking back, Chen Xi held back the wetness in his eyes, and waved his hand back, this farewell is goodbye! He will return to the earth, maybe in another ten years, he will forget the experience of these few months like a dream, how can there be any chance to come back and drink together!
In the middle of the desert, sand dunes follow sand dunes, they are under one sand dune, they are under another sand dune, experiencing the same scorching sun, going to different worlds!
There was no time to be sentimental, Du Xin only prayed for two hours, wondering if the battle in the distance had already begun, he had to worry about his fate!
Under the scorching sun, despite having a headscarf, Chen Xi was still in a trance, I don't know why, after leaving the team, the sun seemed to put the sunshine of a team on himself, and he seemed to be even hotter.
Squinting his eyes and leaning forward, Chen Xi used the most effective trick in the desert to make the most of the experience he had learned.
Soon, the scorching sun at noon was over, and the sun had slowly turned to the west, Chen Xi pulled the stopper of the kettle, took two sips of water, and left the kettle behind.
This time, Chen Xi walked along the sand dune slope in the east, although the angle of the sand dunes did not bring him shade, but he felt as if he had been comforted and became a little more relaxed!
The sun set quickly, and alone, Chen Xi didn't dare to make a fire, so he could only find a slope bottom where he could avoid the cold wind as much as possible, dug a shallow sand pit with his hands, spread it with two clothes he didn't wear, lay down on it, and then covered his body with the cotton cloth given by Kunta, and tucked the fabric tightly at his side.
Before going to bed, Chen Xi took two sips of water again and stuffed a piece of jerky into his mouth, hoping that this would bring some precious heat to himself on a cold night.
The stars slowly rose, and under the moonlight, Chen Xi fell asleep deeply, and then his muscles were unconsciously struggling.
In the distance, in a place that Chen Xi couldn't see or hear, a battle was about to take place, following Shakar from afar, the mercenary's excellent qualities did not reveal themselves, until night fell, this desert long-standing robber arrogant did not set up too many guards, after the dark crossbow eliminated the two patrols, Sivir led the team to slowly approach, the oil bottle in his hand was tightly held, and the fire was flashing......
