Chapter 317: The Spiral of Frustration
At this time, Qin Ling had been out with people for several hours, and they didn't know how far they had gone in the dark, only that everything around them illuminated by a flashlight seemed to be different from the previous environment.
Base S is their territory, and it stands to reason that they should be extremely familiar with this place.
But now every place is so unfamiliar, there are no buildings as a reference, and the plants have grown like crazy.
The once rich city turned into another desolate appearance in one night, as if it had been abandoned for decades.
"Boss, we've come so far that we won't be able to find our way back if we go any further."
"Stop talking nonsense, like now you can find your way back."
Qin Ling only brought a few brothers with strength attributes this time, after all, it was freezing outside, and the strength attribute abilities were better strengthened, and they would be more resistant to frost.
But what they didn't expect was that the darkness outside and the change of environment made them lose their way in the dark after walking for several hours.
"It would be nice if the fifth child was here at this time......"
Spiritual attribute abilities can rely on perception to find the direction to go back, but unfortunately, this time, several people except for Qin Ling are all strength attribute abilities.
Although everyone resists freezing, after all, it has been out for a few hours, and if you continue to hang around outside like this, even your iron body will be frozen into ice.
Qin Ling's good-looking face was also grim, and it was indeed difficult to distinguish the way back by relying only on the glimmer of the flashlight.
The ID watch doesn't have a signal at all, and even if you ask for help, you can't contact anyone else right now.
Just when a few people were confused and helpless in the darkness, almost at a loss, a golden light lit up in the distant direction.
That was the color of the protective ring at the end of the Tang Dynasty.
This light was more like a lamp that led a few people in Qinling home at this time, so that these men who were going around in circles in the darkness suddenly found the direction to go back and put their hearts back in their stomachs.
It was not easy to freeze outside for a few hours, and after seeing the protective ring light up, several people ran faster than the other, and rushed back towards the protective ring.
At this time, Tang Mo, who was warm and nesting in the tent, teasing the sheep and the slender ones, did not expect that his act of giving light to the people in the protection circle would inadvertently pull several people in Qinling back from the hands of death.
"Little Peach, have you noticed that today's protective circle is much quieter than last night?"
The light rose, and everyone's faces appeared more clearly in front of Tang Mo's eyes.
Everyone sat there quietly doing their own thing, not even anyone talking loudly.
Compared to last night's panic, everyone today is obviously much more well-behaved.
This made Tang Mo a little uncomfortable.
"It's not like the end of the day, you said yesterday that the tickets they paid were only from last night, and now they have timed out, and they haven't been careful one by one, for fear that you will remember this stubble and kick them out. It's snowy and dark, and if you go out, you can live for a few hours. ”
Tang Mo heard Xiao Tao say this, and only then did he remember what he said yesterday.
I'm really witty, I didn't expect my sudden inspiration yesterday to have such a good effect.
Now it's pitch black, and I don't know what the situation is outside, so Tang Mo naturally won't really drive them out and send them to death right now.
Just when Tang Mo was enjoying the rare silence here, Qin Ling and others had already rushed in from outside.
"How's it going, what's going on outside?"
Tang Mo got up and reached out to take off Qin Ling's frozen and somewhat stiff coat, and put on a new soft and warm coat for him.
Then he held Qin Ling's cold hand with his hand and helped him warm his hands.
Qin Ling had been freezing outside for a while, and at this time, he changed into a warm coat on his body, and a beautiful woman warmed his hands, and most of it was warm at once.
"Outside, it's not very optimistic."
Qin Ling thought about the outside environment they had seen in the past few hours, the Hell Age was indeed a more terrifying existence than the end of the world.
"We've walked a long way, and we haven't seen a single beast."
There wasn't even a single strange beast, this was Qin Ling's biggest discovery this time.
"Isn't it because it's refrigerated?"
Although Qinling is within the range of the S base, now those fortifications have long disappeared, and there are so many people gathered here, it is impossible that there is not a single strange beast around.
The body structure of the alien beasts is not the same as that of humans, and the cold is not fatal to them, but the hunger is.
"It's not." Qin Ling shook his head.
He looked carefully for a long time, not only did he not see any strange beasts, but there was not even a trace of it.
Not even a hint of the beast's breath was felt by him.
It was as if all the beasts that had been eating humans had disappeared overnight.
Tang Mo was silent.
In these circumstances, not being able to see alien beasts is not a good thing for humans.
This means that they have lost their most important source of food.
In such weather, even soilless cultivation has become a luxury, and if there are no other alien beasts that can provide enough meat, then the survival of human beings is really in jeopardy.
"Don't think about it yet, let's have some soup."
Tang Mo pulled Qin Ling to sit down, and Xiao Tao over there handed over the soup that Tang Mo had already boiled.
Including the few people who had just gone out with Qin Ling, everyone had a bowl of hot soup in their hands, and when they could drink a bowl of hot soup at this time, their tears of emotion were about to fall.
For the rest of the day, everyone sat in the protective circle, looking up at the protective circle that glowed with golden light, not knowing what they were thinking.
I guess I'm thinking about their fate tomorrow, but I don't know what the world will be like tomorrow, so what do I think?
Everyone just felt that they were so small that they didn't even have the strength to fight back against fate.
Fortunately, now the end of the Tang Dynasty has brought a little light to their world, otherwise most of them may collapse.
Emotions are something that is contagious, Tang Mo leaned on Qin Ling's shoulder, looking at everyone's numb faces.
Everyone's emotions don't seem to be sad, after so many joys and sorrows and partings of life and death, everyone has long been desensitized to the emotion of sadness.
And beneath their numb faces, there are only hollows.
It is a kind of self-exile after powerlessness, throwing oneself into the torrent of hell and letting fate arrange an ending for itself.
Tang Mo hated this feeling of being in a whirlpool of frustration, like being in a pool of stagnant water.
In Tang Mo's opinion, aren't they still alive?
As long as we are alive, there is hope, and being alive represents infinite possibilities.
If you even give up on yourself, isn't that throwing your still panting self into the crack and burying it in the soil in advance?
