Final Chapter: Hope (2)
Even though they were underground, the roar of the ships in the sky echoed through the tunnels like thunder. And when it flew close to the ground, the whole cavern shook, raising puffs of sand and dust.
Everyone gathers in a spacious cavern around a fire to discuss what to do next.
Mo Qingyan walked to the center of the crowd, folded his hands, and said with a serious expression: "Everyone, we can only rely on ourselves now." Just now, a companion checked the situation through the vent, it was indeed a lazy newly developed spaceship, and it was not ruled out that it was equipped with armed machinery. Tell me what's next, shall we?"
Lao Xu raised his hand, got up with a "pout", stood by the fire, and said with a serious face: "Everyone, don't be impatient. The situation outside is not very clear, and we only have daily necessities in our hands, and we have no tools to resist. So, I think it's better not to take risks and just hide in a hole in the ground. 'Cave in the ground' isn't very nice either, we look like primitive people, why don't we change our name?"
Mingshan, who has always been accustomed to listening, nodded and agreed: "That's right, I also don't think it's risky, in case there is something like that huge mecha on that spaceship, once it is discovered, where can we escape?"
Each of them expressed their own opinions, and after a while, a consensus was reached.
Hide in the "base" and wait for the lazy ship to leave.
But at this moment, Fleur, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly stood up, she looked at the flames on the ground, and said coldly: "No, we must go out." ”
As soon as this remark came out, other people immediately talked about it, some felt that "adults talk, children should not interject", and some even accused her of deliberately making trouble. But she did not waver in the slightest, and drew a burning wood from the fire and swept it across their faces.
They were all frightened by her actions, and one of them even jumped up, pointing his fingers and scolding: "The adults are deliberating, you kid find a cool place to stay." And said that you want to go out and die?"
Fu Rui glared at him viciously, waved the torch in his hand, and slammed it in front of him, and said angrily: "My lord, if it weren't for me and Brother Mo insisting, I am afraid that you people would have gone back with the others a long time ago!"
Being retorted by this little girl, the man only felt that he couldn't hold his face, and shouted angrily: "There are no rules! Why go back with the others? We only came here for the sake of Lao Mo's face! You are a little girl, who will take you seriously!"
"It's too much! It's interesting to say this! Bully the little girl!" Lao Xu rushed out angrily and stood in front of Fleur.
Fleur didn't need the protection of others, and on the way to this cave, she had already made up her mind that she was bound to become stronger, and she would no longer hide behind people when danger came.
She bypassed Lao Xu, straightened the blazing torch, and said coldly: "What's wrong with me being a little girl? Do you think you know lazy better, or do I know him better?" Who are you? Do you know what he's going to do when he's in a state of madness? Can any of you answer me?"
Suddenly, everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
Fleur continued, "The others should be back in town, and he should have counted the numbers. And guess what? He found that there were a dozen or so missing! One of them, his sister, me! He must have wondered, where had these people gone? Could it be that they had starved to death in the desert? No, they would have gone back
He must have been told that we were looking for a place to hide!"
"What is the purpose of hiding? He doesn't think much about it, but thinks that this group of people must have been helped by diligence to hide first and then plan a vigorous counterattack! In this way, no matter where we hide, we will not be able to escape his clutches. The ship is just a warning, he's warning us that if we don't get out, he's going to bombard this desert!
"You...... Why do you think so!" the man said angrily.
"I don't have to look at it, judging by what he's doing now, that's what he's doing. Believe it or not, though!"
At this time, Mo Qingyan also stood up, nodded and said, "Fu and I have seen him from afar, although on the outside, he is still him." But both in his demeanor and in his expression, he had completely changed. Fleur has a point, he even dares to deal with the town and diligence, let alone a dozen of us. ”
"Then we didn't go out and die in vain!"
Furao shook her head slightly and said, "You don't need everyone to go out, if you are afraid, you can stay, and those who are not afraid of him can go back with me." We had to pretend that we had lost our way in the desert and eventually gave up looking for a place to hide before returning to the town, so as to reduce his suspicions. Then look for the right time to return to the base. ”
"What if there is no timing?"
"Then wait!wait until it's safe enough before we leave town!" Fleur scolded, "If you don't believe me, then stay here and I'll go back by myself." ”
At this time, Mo Qingyan put one hand on Fu Yuan's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Fu Yuan, I believe in you, I will go back with you." However, this base also needs to be guarded, and it is not possible for everyone to withdraw at the same time. ”
Fu Rui shook her head with a wry smile and sighed, "Brother Mo, thank you for believing in me. It's just that the person who stays here is better than you. ”
Mo Qingyan suddenly frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Why? I can't do anything if I stay here?"
"It's not about what you can do here, it's what you can do back in town. He's already captured Mia, right, you're probably the next target. And you can't leave, as the only doctor in town, you have a very big role. ”
"Effect?"
"That's right, as I said earlier, lazy he'll think we're hiding and preparing to rebel. So, we have to do it!"
The person who turned out to be against her gasped and said in a panic, "We're not...... It's just hiding here...... Still...... I'm going to resist!"
Everyone turned their heads to look at him at the same time, with a hint of disgust in their eyes. Fleur stood in front of him and said coldly, "Do you want to hide here for the rest of your life? What's more, is that limited material enough for you to use for a lifetime?"
The man was speechless at the cross-examination, and sat back on the ground silently, without saying more.
Immediately afterwards, Fu Yuan turned to look at Lao Xu again and said, "Brother Xu, you are the only cargo channel in the town, you must return to the town." ”
Lao Xu instantly understood what she meant, nodded and responded: "I understand, you want me to secretly bring some goods on the way to deliver the goods!"
"That's right, with the current volume of supplies, we won't last long. ”
"Okay, I'll go back to town with you, and your supplies will be on me in the future
!" Lao Xu patted his chest and said.
And Jiang Man on the side felt a little sad after learning that Lao Xu was going back. She came to Lao Xu's side and whispered: "Shanshan, why did you agree so quickly, and you didn't think about me!"
Lao Xu looked at him with a frightened look on his face, and replied: "Manman, I am thinking about you! Do you think, if I don't do it myself, what will you eat and drink in the future? I must take this responsibility, otherwise it will be troublesome to be lazy and send someone else." ”
Jiang Man pursed his lips and snorted unhappily: "I just want you to be by my side." ”
Their actions were all in Fleur's eyes, and she knew very well that it would be very difficult for them to say goodbye for a while. But considering the supply problem of the "rebel army", only Lao Xu alone can solve it.
Fleur walked up to them and said helplessly, "Sister Jiang Man, I'm sorry. ”
"It's fine. If you can't avoid it, don't hide it, and face it bravely, which is also a good choice. ”
For a moment, Fleur's heart seemed to be full of energy. Jiang Man is too right, if they blindly hide, they will only usher in the result of "food starvation". But if they choose to resist, under the nose of laziness, quietly grow and sprout, it will be a different result.
Although sooner or later, they will not be able to hide from facing laziness, but then they will be ready for everything. Maybe that day will be a long time away, but it may be tomorrow.
"Sister Jiang Man, I have a proposal. Fleur said weakly, "Why don't you stay too?" ”
"I'll stay too?" Jiang Man exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right, Sister Jiang Man, I think if you stay here, this so-called base will enter the state as soon as possible. ”
"Oh, are you assigning me a job?" Jiang Man looked displeased.
"I ...... That's not what it means...... I was thinking, with you, I can arrange everything......"
Jiang Mantie's face was so blue that Fu Fei didn't dare to look at her directly. But after a while, I saw Jiang Man's brows loosen and said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm kidding you. It's okay, I'll listen to you, I'll stay here and wait for you to come back next time, everything will be sorted out here. ”
After nightfall, Fu Hui, Lao Xu, and the four of them formed a small team, and after the lazy spaceship was far away, they sneaked up to the ground.
In order not to reveal the location of the base, they all blindfolded themselves with long cloths, and then walked aimlessly hand in hand.
I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how far I walked, but just as Hibiscus was taking the next step, a gust of wind suddenly hit the air. They removed the long cloth one after another, only to see a huge spaceship right above them, and a glaring lamppost hit their group.
Immediately afterward, the ship landed on the sand, and with the sound of machinery, a gate opened on the side of the ship, and a walkway stretched down. A man slowly walked out of it, his face was extremely ugly, but his eyes were full of worry.
The man hurried to the group and opened his big embrace. They were all dumbfounded, because the man in front of them was dressed in diligent clothes and adorned with diligence, but he didn't look like him.
"Everyone's all right!" he said anxiously.
"Diligence, you won?!" exclaimed Lao Xu.
"yes! I'm here to pick you up!"
Just as everyone was crowding up, Fleur was unmoved, she stared at him coldly, and said in a deep voice, "You're not." ”
