The river, called the Heishui River, runs through the suburbs of Xijing City, flows through here, and as long as you follow the river to the east, you can reach Xijing City.

The procession marched east along the river, and the hearts of the people turned a thousand times, unable to let go, and they were entwined into thousands of knots.

The bodies of the people were numb, and they did not know how to get tired, and they took every step mechanically.

The darkness before dawn is the thickest and deepest, and this is the time when the demons in the dark night will last revelry.

Nie Tian had already vaguely seen the outlines of the high-rise buildings in the city, and called everyone to stop, rest for a while, and discuss the next step.

At this time, some classmates smelled the rancid smell in the Heishui River, and looked over with the lights, only to see a rotting corpse under a willow tree by the river, because of long-term soaking, the whole body exuded a foul smell, and the skin had already rotted.

The students avoided the rotting corpses and looked forward to find a place to rest, but the smell of rancid smell became stronger and stronger, and they couldn't help but look into the river.

The surface of the river is covered with floating corpses, some on the top of the river, some on the back side, densely packed, layered, and the river has been blocked.

Nie Tian's eyesight was the best, and he could clearly see that some of the dead corpses had bloodshot eyeballs, bulging out, their mouths were wide open, and their faces were full of horror, and they should have suffered great fear and pain before they died.

There were also many corpses with mutilated limbs, as if they had been bitten off by some large creature, which was terrifying.

There seemed to be an unknown creature in the river gnawing at the flesh of the corpse, and the thick stench of the corpse began to slowly emanate, and thousands of white maggots rubbed on the corpse.

The corpse was gnawed by unknown creatures and maggots, and the flesh rotted out holes one after another, revealing white bones.

Some of the dead bodies were bare, puffy, with white bellies, and flocks of crows, with strange red glow in their eyes, and shrill calls, jumping happily on them.

The corpse's belly had been pecked open by a flock of crows, scrambling with each other, tearing out bloody intestines and feasting on their food with impunity, with a little blood and fine scraps of meat remaining at the corners of their mouths.

The waves of water rushed to the dam-like pile of corpses, and the bodies of the corpses swayed slightly one after another, as if these dead people would stand up and walk towards the shore at any moment.

All this seems unusually bleak and terrifying.

Nie Tian shouted to everyone, stop looking, and discuss the next plan.

Everyone was silent, still calming down the shock and fear in their hearts.

Nie Tian first said to everyone: "This place is already like purgatory on earth, and the front is definitely more dangerous, I suggest that the students go in the opposite direction." ”

A Sven boy, emotional, unable to suppress the grief in his heart, was finally released, crying bitterly, shouting: "I want to go back, I want to save my sister, we have depended on each other since childhood, I can't leave her." ”

Many classmates shouted: "We must go back, there are our relatives there, we ignore them and run for our lives alone, are we still human?" ”

Nie Tian understood the feelings of his classmates, why didn't he want to rush back to save his mother? Originally, he could have left first, after all, it would be faster to return to Xijing alone, but in the end, he chose to protect the team members and went all the way here.

When he saw the mountains of corpses piling up in the Heishui River, he felt that he couldn't delay any longer.

Nie Tian finally hardened his head and said to everyone: "I understand your feelings of wanting to go back, but what's the use of going back?" If you go back, you will be sent to death! ”

Most of the students were silent, struggling in their hearts, and a few students shouted excitedly: "Even if I die, I will die with my family." ”

Nie Tian stared at the most emotional Sven boy and said, "Do you think you are a hero like this?" Your sister will be even sadder when she knows you're like this. ”

This classmate imagined his sister's tragic death, but he couldn't do anything about it, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, and instantly had a nervous breakdown, shouting: "Nie Tian, I know what you think, you think we are all a burden, you want to get rid of us!" ”

The little prince, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward and slapped Sven boy's face, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, when did Nie Tian give up on us, even if so many of you betrayed him halfway, he still didn't protect us as always!" ”

When the Sven boy heard this, he squatted on the ground, hugged his head and cried!

Immediately, the sobbing sound in the team turned into a cry.

Nie Tian pulled back the little prince and said frankly: "Actually, what this classmate said is not wrong, I can't hide it, my mother is also in the city, I want to rush back to save her." But my energy alone is really limited, and I can't help every student. ”

Seeing that Nie Tian was in a dilemma now, the little prince suddenly asked a seemingly nonsensical question, "There are three girls around you who are all interested in you. The first of them is beautiful, the second is smart, and the third is rich.

They only have their own merits, not the merits of the other two. You can only choose one now, which one do you choose? ”

Nie Tian felt inexplicable, stunned for a moment, and then the little prince said: "Choose, chest, the big one!" You know what I mean! ”

Nie Tian suddenly realized that many times in the world, there is no right or wrong choice, who can do everything, now let go of your worries, do it with your heart, and don't let yourself hate for life.

Xiao Wang Ye turned to his classmates and asked: "Two bicycles, one has training wheels, the other does not, which one to choose, learn to ride a bicycle the fastest?" ”

Some students immediately understood what the little prince meant.

But there are still many people who don't know what they mean, and casually replied: "Of course there are no training wheels, who hasn't ridden a bicycle when they were young!" ”

The little prince smiled and said: "Nie Tian is our training wheel, if we think about relying on him everywhere, then we will never be able to accomplish what we want to do." ”

The classmates suddenly felt that the image of the little prince had become taller, and Nie Tian also got to know the little prince again.

As the saying goes, the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it over time.

The little prince's sharp eyes swept over everyone, and he said resolutely: "We are all adults, and we must be responsible for our own actions." Whether you decide to go back to the city or leave, life and death are fateful, and you can't complain about others! ”

In the end, only Zhu Zhang, Wu Li, Xiao Wangye, Blindfold Woman, and Sven Boy chose to return to Xijing City.

The little prince said to Nie Tian: "You take the first step, it's too slow for you to be with us!" ……”

At this moment, Nie Tian heard the footsteps of a group of people in the distance, outflanking here, waving his hand in the air, interrupting the words of the little prince.

Hearing this, Nie Tian quickly judged that this was a group of soldiers, and hurriedly ordered the little spider to disappear in the dark.

This small army, which was quick and agile and well-trained, surrounded the students in a short time, and pointed their guns at everyone.

A tall, heavily armed officer walked up to his classmates from the darkness and asked, "Who are you?" It doesn't look like a soldier, why do you wear a military uniform? There are even weapons! ”。

Wu Li stepped forward, gave a military salute, reported the number of the unit, and after introducing herself, she said: "They are freshmen at Nanyang University in Xijing, and they are participating in military training in Zhenguan Mountain......

After briefly explaining the matter, he made a request to the officer, "I would like to see the commander-in-chief of this operation, and there is an emergency report." ”
