Chapter 120: The Camp

Led by Mina, the scouts walked around the jungle with no road under their feet, and they began to enter the forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It is full of dense vegetation, and the ground has been occupied by mantle plants and other low plants that accompany the larches.

All at once it darkened, and the trees seemed to block out the light.

Everyone suddenly felt cold, and gusts of southwest wind began to blow.

"It's almost there." Mina was afraid that her teammates would be in a hurry, so she explained out loud.

The scouts were on their horses, unaffected by the mantle plants, but the oncoming twigs were uncomfortable, too many.

Scarface stepped forward to replace Mina, and he began to clear the way in front.

He kept swinging his great sword in his hand, cutting off the branches on the left and right sides to open the way forward, and at the same time he also asked Mina behind him for confirmation.

"Are you sure there's a person living here? The plants here tell me that this place doesn't look like it's inhabited. ā€

"Captain, trust me." Mina replied affirmatively, "Just up front, there used to be a surviving human settlement there, where I lived for a while. ā€

Scarface wasn't saying anything, and since his teammates said there was, there should be.

After walking for more than 10 minutes, they walked through this dense jungle, and the surrounding trees began to thin out, and the vegetation gradually became low.

Scarface felt the ground rise slightly, and with the help of the trees in the forest, he realized that they were crossing a small hill. This small hill is not high, at best a dozen meters, but the vegetation on it blocks the hills.

Scarface urged his horse to the top of the hill and looked at the other end of the hill.

This side of the hill is different, with patches of square farmland stretching endlessly.

They came to a farm again, and stood on a small hill with a faint view of the buildings in the distance.

"There!" Mina rushed up to her, pointing to the complex and saying, "This is Iva Farm, what I call a place to stay, and it's a good place to camp." ā€

"I've lived there for a while, so I know a little bit about it. It was still inhabited by humans at the time I left. ā€

Scarface roughly estimated the distance from Eva's farm.

"It's almost 2 miles, and I think it's time for us to pick up speed." Scarface said in a slightly relaxed tone, "Before it gets dark, we'll be able to settle down there and maybe have a steaming soup." ā€

"So what are we waiting for?!" Naomi tugged at the reins of her horse and said, "Hurry up, I can't wait for a hot meal." ā€

At some point, the sky turned white, and soon there were sparse snowflakes, and the snowfall of the cold winter moon finally arrived.

"What the hell! It's cold! Fleshshield Steven shoved the scarf around his neck into his neck and followed suit, agreeing with Naomi's remarks.

The scouts took their black hoods and wraps their coats tightly around them, and began to speed towards Iva Farm.

The land on this farm was also deserted, there were no roads around, and they went directly over the farmland vegetation farm.

When they got closer, Scarface stopped the group.

"It looks like it's been abandoned for a long time, so we still have to be careful." He began to arrange reconnaissance missions. "Sergeant Hamilton, you and Corporal Naomi, and Steven, scout the buildings in the left half of the farm. Me, Sergeant Mina, and Corporal Harrow, we'll scout the right half of the building to see if there are any of our enemies here. ā€

"If there's no opinion, then let's get started." Scarface commanded.

"Wait! What if our enemies are found? Sergeant Hamilton raised his objections.

"What could our enemy have but the undead gnolls of the Scourge? Just kill it. Naomi said unhappily.

"If there are a lot of them, then we will go back to where we are and discuss a combat opportunity. Instead, assemble in the largest house. Scarface thought for a moment and said.

"Alright then, let's do it." Hamilton nodded and continued, "However, I don't think there would be so many people if it was purely reconnaissance, just me and Corporal Naomi. ā€

"The two of us are good at this."

Scarface turned to look at Naomi.

"Frozen to death! Let's hurry up! Naomi rolled over and dismounted, standing on the ground and stomping her feet.

The snowflakes in the sky are starting to get bigger, and it looks like this snow is going to fall for a while.

Hamilton and Naomi split up outside the farm, and one person began to scout in one direction, and soon they disappeared into the complex.

Outside, Scarface and the others also got off their horses and began to wait here for their news.

In less than a quarter of an hour, both returned, and Scarface greeted them.

"There were traces of the lives of many people in the past, but now they are all gone, and there is no one in it." Hamilton first introduced his own reconnaissance.

"I'm in charge of this side too, there were still people here some time ago." "But they all seem to have moved away, and they left in a hurry, and a lot of things were pulled down and left in the house." ā€

Scarface groaned for a while, but decided to move in first and see before making a decision.

"Then let's go, let's go first and find a place to settle down before making plans."

The scouts pulled their horses and walked into the farm in the face of the increasing wind and snow.

Under Naomi's guidance, they made their way to the largest house in the city.

Scarface walked into the building first, a house that was supposed to be very luxurious before. Its interior is very wide, almost 100 square meters. On the wall directly opposite the entrance, there is also a large landscape painting that has not yet had time to be removed, and on the wall next to the painting, there is also a medium-sized fireplace. A lot of things that were originally hanging were taken away.

Inside the building, a lot of the things that were easy to carry had been taken away, leaving behind some tables, chairs, and other pieces of furniture that were not easy to carry.

The house was fairly clean, with clear traces of human life left here, and Scarface saw a leftover pumpkin, as well as some tattered plates and quilts.

On the left hand side of the door, there was a staircase leading to the second floor, and Scarface turned to look at Naomi.

"Don't worry! I've seen it above! A small living room, a bedroom and a big bed in the bedroom! Naomi said with a grin, "If the captain doesn't mind, he can sleep in that room at night, and sleep on that big bed, it will definitely be very comfortable." There is also a fireplace in that room. ā€

"Clean up here, we'll rest here at night." Scarface ignores Naomi's playfulness and arranges the task. "Sergeant Mina, while we're resting, set up warning traps around our house. Sgt. Hamilton, you and Corporal Naomi go around, around the farm, to see if there are any other creatures left. ā€

"Steven, Harrow. We went to the other rooms to find some tools to use, and by the way, some firewood for heating at night. ā€

"Alright, let's move! Pack up early, we'll have a good rest, it's time to rest after a busy day! Scarface clapped his hands and beckoned to everyone.

"Oops~ After riding a horse for a day, my back hurts! And go out on patrol! Investigation! Naomi pouted, disgruntled.

Mina smiled and walked up to her and said, "Why don't we change?" You're here to clean up? I'm going to patrol and scout outside? ā€

"Don't change!" Naomi said firmly, "I'd rather be out on patrol!" I don't clean either! ā€

"Then you don't want to go? Sergeant Hamilton has gone. Mina looked at her with a smile, "You're just like my sister, she's as big as you, and she always likes to be coquettish in front of me." ā€

"Oh?" Naomi rolled her eyes sly and said, "Then let's sleep together, can you tell me the story of your sister?" ā€

"Good, good!" Mina smiled and arranged her scarf. "Let's go, the vice-captains are gone."

"Let's go! I can't go back! Naomi walked out of the room, turning her head as she spoke.

"Well, it won't!" Mina affirmed.

Looking at Naomi walking away, Mina turned to Scarface and said, "She's our sister, isn't she?" Although she is very naughty, she has a good heart, and sometimes she offends you unintentionally. ā€

"In my heart, that's what I thought, too." Scarface left the room with Harrow, "So, you don't have to worry, I'm going to be mad at her for making fun of me, I have a brother who is her age, but he's gone." ā€

"So, we should cherish the people and comrades-in-arms around us, shouldn't we?" Mina said to herself.

※※※

Thousands of miles away, the garrison of Gadar's Fifth Army also began to fall bustling snowflakes.

Locke stood outside the Legion headquarters, watching the falling snowflakes.

It was the first snow he had ever seen.

He stretched out his hand, and the blue gloves were covered with snowflakes of different forms, and Locke's fingers were glued to the snowflakes, and there was an indelible haze in his heart.

Seeing that in a few days, he would take the Fifth Legion and start leaving the Tirisfal Glade in the name of field training, but he didn't expect it to snow!

Isn't that what keeps me going to the Silver Pine Forest?

When Locke was worried, Bridget behind him was like a child, grabbing the snow sitting on the ground and playing.

From time to time, she gathered a snowball with both hands, threw it into the air, and quickly drew her sword, splitting the falling snowball into several pieces with one sword.

Then he smirked, and the guards around him were a little creepy.

The posture of the female man playing with the snowball is really different from that of ordinary girls, shouldn't the girl gather a snowball and smash people to play? How could it be cut with a sword.

Locke looked back at the smirking Bridget and couldn't help but feel a little itchy as he bent down and grabbed a handful of snow and held it in his hand.
