Chapter 14: Departure, First Mission

It was already late when he came back from the exploration team, Yang Chuangrui went to the blacksmith shop to get equipment, the two handsome knives ordered before should only be used as decorations, he thought about it for a long time, and decided to bring it.

He had asked a tailor to make a suit and a backpack, and then the tailor's shop was blocked by the townspeople, and these natives who had never seen the world almost fought over who could get the backpack first.

The outfit he designed became popular in the town later, and although the clothes were not very good-looking, they were very spiritual to wear, which made the two tailors of the tailor's shop miserable.

Because there is no concept of money or personal assets in the town, the tailor will only receive small gifts, and sometimes only a thank you.

After coming back, Yang Chuangrui tried to bring all the equipment, he carried a sniper rifle on his right shoulder, a pistol pinned to his left waist, and two Tang knives, one long and one short, were carried under his waist, and his chest and thighs were full of magazines.

In this way, he still felt unsure, and always felt that he should have to bring more weapons, and now he wanted to take all the blacksmith shops with him on his back.

Thanks to his strong physical fitness now, if he had been asked to carry so many things before, it is estimated that he would not even be able to walk.

When Xiao Shi and the blacksmith brother saw Yang Chuangrui who came out in this dress, their eyes were shining with envy, Yang Chuangrui was sure that his two-fool dress would definitely become a new trend for the exploration team after a while.

After posing for a few sassy bags and bragging in front of the two teenagers, Yang Chuangrui returned to the room and calmly waited for the time to leave.

…………

At about three or four o'clock in the morning, Yang Chuangrui walked out of his small courtyard fully armed and rushed towards the meeting place of the team.

At this time, the town was unusually quiet, and there was not a single sound around, and he had wondered why the team had chosen this time to set off yesterday.

The captain's answer to him made him feel a little heavy, everyone understood that it was very dangerous outside, and most people would never come back from the moment they stepped out of town.

They don't want to disturb the rest of the town, and they don't know what kind of face and attitude to use to say goodbye to their relatives and friends, so they choose to set off in the dead of night.

Arriving at the meeting place, the other members of the team looked at Yang Chuangrui's luxurious equipment and reasonable attire, and then looked at the few rags he was wearing and the lone weapon in his hand, and instantly felt that the whole person was not good.

They would never have imagined that Yang Chuangrui hung all the equipment on his body because of cowardice, and he even studied for a long time how to carry these weapons to look more beautiful.

"Everyone is here, ready to go." The captain commanded succinctly.

The other team members who received the captain's order immediately began to check the materials they were carrying, but there was nothing to check, except for weapons, the resources outside were much more abundant than in the town, and even if they didn't bring food, they couldn't go hungry.

Then the group of five people followed the path through the farmland to the cave at the exit.

Just as they were about to enter the cave, Yang Chuangrui suddenly noticed that the direction of the town seemed to be much brighter in an instant, and he slowly turned his head to look at the town.

A bright fire lit up in the center of the town square, and many residents walked out of their houses one after another.

They bowed their heads slightly towards the entrance of the cave, their left hands resting on their chests, and their right hands holding up fluorescent stones, silently chanting something.

He also saw many sleepy-eyed children, holding the adult's shirt with one hand and the other on his chest, and silently watching the direction the team left.

There was no sound in between, only an ever-increasing point of light in front of him.

Yang Chuangrui was just about to see his mind when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Let's go."

Yang Chuangrui turned around and saw the wind standing behind him, and was slightly stunned and followed the team into the hole.

Without waiting for Yang Chuangrui to speak, Feng calmly replied:

"It's a blessing, a ritual long ago for the people of the tribe to say goodbye to the warriors who went out hunting."

Glancing back in the direction of the town, Wind continued:

"People firmly believe that the light held high by their loved ones can guide those who go out in the direction of returning home, and even if there is only a soul left, they will definitely return to their loved ones."

"We set out with blessings every time, so we have nothing to fear."

Listening to the wind's explanation, Yang Chuangrui's mood was very complicated, "Relatives?" I'll have a chance to see it. He thought to himself.

For the rest of the trip, no one spoke.

After walking out of the cave, Yang Chuangrui finally felt the sunshine that he had not seen for a long time, but he still felt a little uncomfortable, because he didn't have that sense of familiarity at all when he looked at the blue sun rising in the sky.

"The target is southeast, and you can find a place along the river, and our trip this time is about 6 days." The captain spoke.

"Isn't there a map or something? Can I find the correct position with just a few directions and references I provide? Yang Chuangrui was very puzzled in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask.

In order to take care of Yang Chuangrui, who was on a mission for the first time, the captain told him about the situation in the neighborhood while hurrying to the road.

In the captain's explanation, Yang Chuangrui learned that the area around the town within a day's distance will basically not encounter robots, but there may also be other dangers, the north and south are often infested with robbers and robbers, and the west is the territory of those hateful guys.

Then they rushed to the predetermined direction for a whole day, there were no accidents on the way, the meal was still eaten on the road, Yang Chuangrui really couldn't get used to this way of rushing.

Obviously, the food eaten in the town is quite normal, but when you come out, you have to eat that kind of unpalatable jerky, the captain explained that this kind of jerky is specially made, which can quickly replenish the physical strength consumed, and Yang Chuangrui disapprovingly said that food or benefits are more important.

When he rested at night, it was even more outrageous, Yang Chuangrui originally thought that he was living in a tent, who knew that it was a cave in the ground, so he watched several big men dig on the ground and dig out a flat pit, they took some branches and covered it and lay down.

Leaving Yang Chuangrui alone in the wind outside, everyone else looked stupid, and finally knew what the shovel-like thing they were carrying was for.

Yang Chuangrui also knows that the wild is very dangerous, and he must hide himself when he sleeps at night.

So, Yang Chuangrui, who didn't want to dig a hole, wittily put forward the suggestion of a vigil.

After getting unanimous approval, everyone decided that he would keep watch in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, Yang Chuangrui woke up the wind, and he lay down in the pit dug out before the wind.
