Chapter 0366: Evacuation Squad

The wind wailed in the desolate wilderness, and a dozen gray-black dots were slowly moving forward. They are almost at one with the gray environment, and if you don't look closely, you can ignore them.

Lorraine was in this small group, and was walking with the captain on foot. Unlike the fugitive migrations of the past, there are so many extraordinary details about this trek.

First of all, everyone has a full load of food and drink in their backpacks. This is the foundation that supports the continuous progress of the team. Secondly, although several people in the team are not familiar with each other, they can help each other, support each other, and even encourage each other.

The leader of the team was also a young man, about 20 years old. Lorraine didn't know what the other party's name was, but she listened to the story of Harmony Village and the Black Forest all the way.

The thrilling plot makes everyone in the team forget the pain of the long journey. Because every sentence is simple and unpretentious, close to the lives of the poor. Everyone listened carefully, and the more they listened, the more fascinated and empathetic they became.

The captain said that he had gone to the Black Forest out of desperation, but the human settlements did not take in such a useless waste as him, so he had to go to the Voodoo Swamp to work for his life.

After seeing the swamp that devoured countless living beings, he felt that one day he too would become the mud of the swamp.

"The swamp is a terrible place, and it is difficult for people who live there to live for half a year. A lot of people go crazy even on the day they arrive. I don't even want to think about how I got through it, it was horrible.

There was a day Victor. His Excellency Hugo came, and he saved us and the whole village. I was being punished with hard labor for stealing the goods of the profiteer Rubio, but I was still stupid and happy. Thinking about it now, it was stupid at the time.

I followed His Excellency Hugo out of the voodoo swamp, but I could not get into the carriage, and I had to go hungry on two legs. At that time, it was miserable, and many people gave up halfway, or couldn't afford to die. Now there is food and drink, and we are all safe. ”

The young captain was quite optimistic, and he told everyone to rest for five minutes every hour to eat some food and water. Everyone is happy to take a break. But there is no story to listen to when you rest, everyone eats and drinks, but urges them to go on the road.

The captain happily pulled out the jar of stamina potion and took a sip, then yelled, 'This damn thing is really strong'. The team members also took a sip and learned to scold. After scolding, his whole body was warm, but he was more relaxed.

Lorraine carried a backpack that did not match his thin body, and shouted urgically: "Captain, continue." When you got to the iron pit, did you really see the elven ruins? ”

The young captain smiled but didn't continue the story. He took a map out of his backpack, spread it out, put a compass, and determined the direction of travel before hitting the road again.

Lorraine was very curious, and then asked, "Captain, what did you just see?" ”

"There are no roads in the wilderness, and we are not familiar with geography, so we must have maps." The captain replied with a smile, "Your Excellency Hugo has long trained the militia to read maps. I'm stupid, and I don't know how to use it after months of studying. ”

Maps are a real surprise to the illiterate at the bottom of society, and the rookies in the team find it even more magical to learn that they can determine their location with a map.

For the sake of the map, Zhou Qingfeng had a headache to death. Mapping is time-consuming and laborious work that requires specialized knowledge and a lot of mapping. He had nothing but to open his eyes to the vast sky and earth.

Ciric is the 'Master of Modi' and scurries around the Northlands. Zhou Qingfeng once devoured his divine soul, and although he spit it out again, he still absorbed a lot of information, and also used it to understand the geographical environment of the Northland.

After arriving in Cold Wind City, Zhou Qingfeng found that even the caravans that traveled south and north were very lacking in geographical knowledge. Mastering a certain unobstructed trade route is like mastering a gold mine, a secret that will not be easily told to outsiders.

Some caravans will also launch extremely bloody vendettas between each other, just to grasp the geographical information rights of a certain area and prevent outsiders from entering their territory.

Zhou Qingfeng formed a transport team, relying on being strong enough and good at dancing with long sleeves, and spent nearly a month only roughly outlining the road to the Black Forest north of Cold Wind City, and made the corresponding map by Shumei Sophia.

The crude map doesn't even have latitude and longitude lines, just general mountains, rivers, roads, and other major landmarks. The captain must strictly follow the landmarks on the map to move forward, otherwise it is easy to lose direction.

But having a map is not the same as not having one. If you know where you are, you will know how far you are from your destination, and you will be able to arrange your time reasonably without panic.

"Don't worry, Lord Hugo expected that we would have to evacuate from Coldwind City one day. I've walked this evacuation route beforehand, and with the map here, I'll promise to take you to your destination. ”

The captain continued to tell the story of the Black Forest, and the rookies listened even more attentively. The fatigue of the journey is all forgotten, only the heart is hot. But just a few hundred meters away from them, Fils led a dozen of his subordinates to rush out of the thick fog, scanning the wilderness with indifferent eyes.

"How can these damn sluts run so fast?" Fils has a fierce and frosty face, he can not be afraid of cold wind and fatigue, but he can't catch up with his target. The horse he was riding was so tired that he didn't want to run any longer.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and in the gray environment, the eyesight of the human eye is greatly reduced. Fils failed to see the target that was gradually moving away a few hundred meters, but fell into a new difficulty - he lost his bearings.

The problem that Zhou Qingfeng tried his best to overcome now falls on Fils's head. Even when it was only a dozen kilometers away from Cold Wind City, the deputy city lord became overwhelmed.

Direction, direction!

As soon as it gets dark, there is no indication from the sun, moon and stars, and the road is the most important landmark. But the ranks of the displaced people just left the road. Without preparation, even a local guide can easily get lost in the cold winds of the Northland.

The terrain in the wilderness is so similar that it can be difficult to determine where you are from a blank field of vision. Fils looked around and saw only hillsides, meadows, and woods. He snapped his horsewhip, angry but helpless.

Old Banker followed Fils, his brow furrowed as well. He did point out the path of escape for the outcasts, but the thick fog that looms in the wilderness is the biggest obstacle. When the team got out of the dense fog, it was impossible to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

"Lord Bank, can you still perform the 'Positioning Technique'?" Fils asked, turning his head.

Old Banker shook his head, "I didn't expect to face a chase today, and the 'biopositioning technique' prepared was used up. Fils, give up. Victor. Hugo prepared in advance. We don't necessarily catch him if we rush to catch him. ”

This assertion was like a basin of cold water poured down, and Fils also felt discouraged. He had to admit that his opponent's plan was almost perfect, and he calculated his every move.

In his dim consciousness, Fils felt that a group of untouchables could travel long distances in the wilderness, which was a very terrible thing. But he couldn't tell what was terrible.

In short, this thing is very scary, and some kind of ability that will change the landscape of the battlefield has emerged.
