The flames shone brightly.

On the sheep intestine path surrounded by greenery, ten figures of nine tall and one short are advancing rapidly in four rows. Due to the long run, fine beads of sweat broke out on their bodies. Beads of crystal clear sweat continue to slide down the surface of the body, glistening in the sunlight.

Suddenly, an obese middle-aged man running at the front raised his right hand and made a rest gesture.

"We're almost at the settlement. Let's take a break. ”

Everyone slowly slowed down and stopped, and each found a comfortable shade to rest.

The people who had been silently walking all the way began to talk.

"Are you alright? Can you still keep up? ”

"I'm fine. But Uncle Allen, are we going to run all the way to Starland? ”

Zheng Ming didn't ask why the caravan was only ten people plus himself? Didn't ask why everyone traveled lightly without seeing supplies? After all, Zheng Ming could receive gifts stored in the space capsule, and there was no reason why they didn't.

However, the silent running along the way made it puzzled, even in ancient times, there were horses and other mounts, and they actually wanted to run to Starland City?

"Haha. Blame me, blame me. I forgot to tell you. All we need to do is go to the nearby settlements and assemble with the caravans from the nearby villages. Someone will come and pick us up. If you really rely on your legs to hurry, when will you be able to get to Starland City? Hehe, don't be too surprised to meet the transportation that picks us up when the time comes. Speaking of which, the man who fell from heaven is really great, and he can actually make that kind of thing. ”

"Transportation?"

Hearing Allen's words, Zheng Ming's eyes flashed, and when he heard this word, the first thing he thought of was cars, trains, and airplanes.

Cars need to be built and trains need to be laid. Zheng Ming roughly estimated the distance between them and the mountains and rivers crossed, and he really couldn't imagine the investment.

Could it be an airplane? Since there is even such a thing as a space capsule, what does the transportation invented by those so-called people who fell from the sky look like?

Thinking of this, a trace of expectation rose in Zheng Ming's heart.

"Transportation is what you use to get on the road. It's about the same as a horse-drawn carriage. But it's far more spectacular than a horse-drawn carriage. ”

Allen's childlike tone made Zheng Ming a little helpless, he looked at his thin arms and legs, and screamed in his heart.

"This damn body~"

Just as the two of them were sitting together and communicating briefly, a human woman stood up and walked like them in the crowd not far away.

The woman is tall, especially the round legs in tight pants are even longer, and she is a little sad. Fine beads of sweat oozed from her bare wheat-colored skin, exuding a healthy and wild beauty in the sun, making people automatically ignore her slightly mean looks.

"Well, this has the effect of restoring physical strength. For you to eat. ”

The woman approached and stretched out her right hand, as if needlessly, and a fruit the size of an apple and a cherry-like fruit lay there quietly.

Zheng Ming looked at her with a little confusion and thought quietly. It wasn't until the other party's color became more and more unnatural that he came back to his senses and accepted her kindness.

"Thank you. It just so happened that I was also a little thirsty. ”

After Zheng Ming turned the fruit, the woman also breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't say anything, maintained her usual arrogant temperament, and simply turned around and left.

Looking at the seductive back of the woman swaying and leaving, Zheng Ming fell into deep thought.

When it was known that it was Zheng Ming, a seemingly young child, who temporarily joined the team, everyone expressed their dissatisfaction to a greater or lesser extent, among which this woman's reaction was the most violent.

"We lost our business, not to travel. It's not our job to take care of children. Don't forget that we still have to get to the settlement within the deadline, do you have to carry him on your way? ”

That's what she said to Alan at the time. It's not so much cynicism as it's pointing at the nose and invective. What made Zheng Ming most uncomfortable was that she seemed to be talking to Alan again, but her eyes were fixed on herself, and the arrogance and disgust in her demeanor were simply obvious on her face.

At that time, Zheng Ming realized that his appearance was not effective on all occasions and for everyone. Even on this occasion, his appearance dragged himself down and made his impression a little unbearable?

Anyone who sees a child with thin arms and legs, slender and beautiful, who can't even tell the difference between male and female, can't associate it with strength and independence. Clearly, they associate weakness, trouble, and pampering.

So when Zheng Ming kept up with the speed they kept mentioning on his own, and even kept up with their progress faster than usual very easily, the contrast between the prediction in his heart and the reality made them more and more shocked.

Zheng Ming won their respect with his own strength. This can be seen from the human woman's initiative to approach and show goodwill. And Zheng Ming's acceptance of the other party's kindness also allowed him to integrate into this small group. At least neither side is keeping the other at bay.

After resting for a while and briefly replenishing water, everyone set off again at the signal of the obese middle-aged man before.

After another period of silence and an efficient but boring march, the group ran out of the sheep intestine path and into the wide, flat road. The surrounding trees and vegetation gradually became scarce, and the height of the grass along the road gradually changed from human height to only ankle height.

"It's here, it's ahead."

As he went, Alan beside him whispered a reminder, and almost at the end of his vision, a pitch-black silhouette came into Zheng Ming's eyes.

"If you work harder, you can have a good rest when you get to the settlement."

The voice of the fat middle-aged man in front of him came again, and everyone rushed to the front one after another.

It is said that Wangshan runs a dead horse. Zheng Ming has never ridden a horse, but today he experienced what it was like to be a horse. When it was exhausted and out of breath, the settlement that had been in sight for a long time was finally fully revealed before its eyes.

It is a square surrounded by a fence made of iron mesh. The square is black as a whole, and the surface looks like an asphalt road. The square is about the size of two football fields, and is crisscrossed by white lines that divide it into patches.

And at the edge of the square stand buildings. Occasionally, people come in and out.

Looking at the airport-like and somewhat plausible places in front of him, Zheng Ming stood stunned on the spot and muttered in a low voice: "This is the airport? ”

"You know the airport? Let's go. Let's go to the rest area and have a look. We were the first to arrive, so we had to wait two days before we left. ”

The deaf and clear-eyed Allen heard Zheng Ming's whispering, he patted Zheng Ming's shoulder, reminded him and took the lead in following the team.
