Chapter 105: Wolves
When Xiao Buli heard this, he quickly brought the map, Qin Shiyue looked at it for a while, and then used a compass and a strange device to measure the surroundings, then circled the area, and finally pointed to a red dot she drew and said, "It should only be more than a hundred kilometers." ”
Xiao Buli also looked at the colorful map in front of him without blinking, and Qin Shiyue's magic fingers, but unfortunately he really didn't have any literacy in this area, except for when he was forced to hold a ruler and pretend to be a scale when he was studying geography in school, most of his practical applications of maps were concentrated in games.
So at this moment, watching Qin Shiyue control the itinerary of the two of them on a piece of paper throughout the whole process, he had no choice but to pretend to believe it, but fortunately, with the disparity in their current strength, he was not afraid of what kind of tricks this woman would do.
"Go, go, step by step into the trap set for you, pitiful, pathetic." The voice in his head seemed to know what he was thinking, and jumped out at the right time to be verbose, and Xiao Buli chose to ignore it. Continue to think about the situation in front of us: "Then we have to walk for the rest of the year, can you tell me where we are going now?" I'm headless and brainless, and I'm about to be taken to the Chinese border by you. No matter how little geographical knowledge is, Xiao Buli also knows that Inner Mongolia is the outermost part of China's territory.
Qin Shiyue looked at Xiao Buli and smiled, "I thought you wouldn't ask, our current location is the Hangjin Banner of the Yikezhao League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and we entered the Kubuqi Desert if we continued to walk forward, I told you the specific location of the base, I guess you don't understand, don't worry, I won't sell you." Qin Shiyue didn't forget to smile at the end, making Xiao Buli feel as if he was thinking too much.
Well, more than 100 kilometers does not sound far, if you drive, it will only take an hour or two, even if you don't have to walk too hard, two or three days is enough.
"I'm good to have enough gear." As if to satirize Xiao Buli's joke that he didn't need equipment, Qin Shiyue put his backpack on his back as if he was demonstrating, making Xiao Buli cry and laugh.
Xiao Buli looked at the food in the back compartment and couldn't help frowning, what about food and water? Two people have to walk in the desert for several days in any direction, whether food or water is not missing, so be sure to bring as much as possible. Fortunately, the desert in front of me does not seem to be next to the kind of desert where no grass grows, and at a glance, you can always see some traces of plant growth.
If it really doesn't work, you can only hope for a miracle in the desert, hoping to find a water source after a while, but this can be said to be very rare in the desert.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is still a gun in the hand, so it is really impossible to see if you can encounter any prey." As he sang, he stuffed as much food and water as he could into a backpack, and scanned the backpack with a ring, and the backpack filled with food disappeared instantly.
Qin Shiyue, who witnessed this strange scene, suddenly showed a surprised expression, "It turns out that this is where you hide things, but why haven't I seen them use similar skills when I was at the base?" ”
Xiao Buli smiled proudly, "You should know that even if you are a gamer, there are rookies and masters, and top-level equipment can naturally only be played by those expert players." ”
Qin Shiyue rolled her eyes, looking a little unbearable for Xiao Buli's self-proclaimed tone.
"Alright, let's go, there's still a long way to go."
Carrying the rest of the food and water on his back, Xiao Buli walked a few steps, turned around and looked at the off-road vehicle, still a little regretful, for a person like him who is used to being poor, even if it is a rented thing, it really shouldn't be so wasted.
Qin Shiyue didn't seem to feel it at all, in her opinion, it was necessary to abandon unnecessary equipment in action, not to mention an off-road vehicle, even if human life was in her eyes.
Two people carrying equipment on their backs to walk in the Manman yellow sand, if it looks like a particularly beautiful picture from a distance, but for the people walking in it, it can only be regarded as torment, even if it is autumn, but in the desert without shelter, the sun is still **, after walking for a while, Xiao Buli felt unspeakably uncomfortable on his body, as if the dust raised by not taking a step was covered with sweat, forming a thick shell on his body, this shell is not only sticky and uncomfortable, Even Xiao Buli often felt that it might be this shell that made him feel more and more stuffy at the moment, this was still the feeling of the system that had been strengthened by the game, it was conceivable that Qin Shiyue, who was walking in front, should feel even more unbearable than himself at this time.
However, there is at least one thing that is better about walking, that is, compared with driving, there is no longer a feeling of drowsiness, or there is no condition for sleeping.
After walking like this for a while, Xiao Buli felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little dull, and he really wanted something to distract himself from the dust shell. Then he brought up the question that he had not received an answer to.
"By the way, what are you going to do when all this is over?" Xiao Buli took a few steps and picked up Qin Shiyue, who was walking in front, at this time, Qin Shiyue's face was not good-looking, although she was equipped with sunglasses and a scarf to block the sun and wind and sand, but this did not seem to reduce the heat of the sun, Qin Shiyue's hot cheeks were red.
"After that? Do what? Qin Shiyue heard his question, and repeated it to herself, but her face showed a blank look, her goal had always been Zulong's goal, and she had never thought about what she should do. And when all this happened, she didn't have the time or energy to think about anything more, all her actions seemed to be just for self-preservation, and now, she let hatred take over her heart. But beyond that, what other dreams does she have to fulfill? yes, what should I do when I'm done with all this?
Qin Shiyue suddenly found that her life seemed to be a little ironic.
However, when she thought of what the old man said to her in her dream, Qin Shiyue's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of stability, if what he said was true, then she didn't seem to need to think about it. Thinking of this, Qin Shiyue opened her mouth and said, "Believe me, you will have an answer to this question soon." ”
Xiao Buli felt that Qin Shiyue's answer was a little inexplicable, but anyway, it was small talk, so he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, but the psychological voice ran out at the right time: "What's the matter, I'll just say that she has an ulterior purpose, you just step into her trap step by step, pitiful, pathetic." ”
The sun finally sank below the horizon after raging for a few hours, and the night with the crisp cold air finally came, Xiao Buli felt that the stuffy and sticky feeling on his body finally slowly dissipated, if the night was so comfortable, he didn't mind marching at night, but Qin Shiyue seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and sat down heavily under a leeward sand dune.
"Then let's camp here tonight." Seeing her state, Xiao Buli naturally didn't want to move on. Qin Shiyue nodded heavily when she heard this, as if every movement of her body had made her pay a huge amount of strength.
Xiao Buli took out the simple tent in her backpack and propped it up, and rowed some hay nearby, because it was not very far from the grassland, so this dry weed could often be seen, Zhan Shao walked out of a distance, rowed a lot of piles, and picked up some dry branches, hoping to make the fire burn longer.
The temperature difference between day and night in the grassland is very large, and the night is very cold, although it is only in early autumn, but the temperature is already extremely low, if you don't make a fire, ordinary people really can't stand it, of course, Xiao Buli actually doesn't matter, with the effect of Yimu Xuanyang Sutra, he will not feel cold at all. The fire crackled, although it was not cold, Xiao Buli still sat around, and he may have a natural yearning for light and warmth.
The two of them drank a few sips of water, and ate some simple food with water, which was not delicious, but with something in their stomachs, Qin Shiyue's mental state seemed to be much better.
The unobstructed sky was endless, dotted with stars, and it looked like a jade plate sprinkled with pearls, making the two mortals under the sky feel so small. Accustomed to seeing the gray night of the city, the sight in front of them surprised both of them. No one spoke, silently lying on the ground next to the fire and looking up at the night of the sky, on one side the night was as cold as water, on the other side was the fire as hot, it was really ice and fire. Except for the occasional crackling sound of the fire, it was so quiet that people didn't know if they had fallen asleep.
I haven't had such a quiet and peaceful feeling for a long time, Xiao Buli's heart is also rare and very calm, and suddenly I found that my previous so-called pursuit seemed to be a little too utilitarian, in fact, even if there is no superpower, such a life of walking around is not bad, why has he never enjoyed these before, he seems to be a race, a race against time, a race against money, and a race against life.
Whew! A terrible howl sounded in the distance, interrupting the life that Xiao Buli was feeling. Qin Shiyue slammed the spirit, quickly pulled out the pistol, sat up from the ground, and looked around vigilantly.
In the night, some black shadows moved slowly over the sand dunes in the distance.
"I think I know why I didn't hike around like this before." Xiao Buli looked at the wolves in the distance and said to himself, "For people who don't have the strength, this kind of travel is also a very risky behavior, and once there is danger, can you still maintain this leisurely feeling." The thoughts that were still echoing in Xiao Buli's mind just now suddenly ran out of his mind with the appearance of the wolves.
"What did you say?" Qin Shiyue didn't hear his words clearly and asked.
"It's nothing, we need to be careful, it looks like a wolf." And it's a hungry wolf.
