22, the road ahead (1)

After a day of arduous trekking, the only ones left in the village, more than 300 people, mainly women, children, the old and weak, finally came to a place less than twenty miles away from Hanshan City.

In this Spring Festival, which should be full of festivity, everyone has to carry their bags and brave the cold wind that is enough to blow off the skin and flesh in Beijiang winter, and they dare not stop walking for a night and a day.

"Stone pillars! Give me my son back, I'm almost done. ”

In the group, a woman of about thirty years old first swallowed hard, then tried to hold her breath to make her breath appear calmer, and then spoke.

Along the way, the environment is harsh and the mountain roads are rugged.

Although the folk style of Beijiang has always been known for its mellow and bravery! Even women and the elderly were able to persevere.

Older children can barely hold on under the pull of their parents, but those who are too young can only be carried or carried by their parents.

But this day is still so cold, and I have walked for almost a day and a night, and there is only some cold food in my stomach to satisfy hunger.

Shizhu doesn't know how many villagers he has taken care of the children for him.

Listening to the voice of the woman behind him, Shi Zhu's already very unconscious head took a long time to react, and after Mu Mudi answered, he returned the child in his arms.

The woman thanked her again and again, but Shi Zhu, who had already lost her mind, couldn't react, turned around straightly, and continued to follow the team with only the little consciousness left in her mind.

Mr. Liu Gensheng, who has a good body and bones and does not have too many burdens, has always been at the forefront of the team.

But after he didn't know how many times he turned back, finally, the old man still hurried a few steps and caught up with the village chief at the front: "Ned, I see that everyone is almost unable to stand up, many people have fainted more than once, if it doesn't go on like this, we may not be able to go to Hanjiang City." ”

"I know, but ......" The old village chief also turned his head and looked at the long procession, and found the stone pillar that was walking with his head down and planting crookedly for the first time.

Even the most tenacious stone pillar was already like this, and the old man was a little unbearable in his heart.

It is true that his physical fitness is stronger than ordinary people, but he is now just an old first-order auxiliary battle, and his strength is limited, to be honest, he is now feeling tired that he has not felt for many years, let alone these villagers who are still ordinary people.

The old village chief was naturally very unbearable in his heart, but he could only say depressedly: "But this doesn't even have a car, you can only rely on your feet, if you can get there, it's okay." I'm afraid that if I can't get to Hanjiang City before night and stay in the wilderness for another night, someone will really ......."

And now there are many people in the team, not only are they weak, but there are not a few who are missing limbs and arms after surviving because of this sudden alien attack......

What's more, the minions of the turbidity ghost are neurotoxins...... Even if the village chief could use his status as a priest to slow down the advancement of the toxin for them at this time, but if it continued like this, he was just a first-order priest, and he didn't have the ability to defy the sky......

In previous years, after Chinese New Year's Eve, it was necessary to go door-to-door to visit relatives and friends, and at this time, relatives and friends who did not see each other much because they were separated from the village and Hanjiang City would also cherish this opportunity and move around, and this link of visiting relatives and friends was already an old custom that had been passed down in the entire Longteng Empire since I don't know how long ago.

Of course, there are also those who will take advantage of this time to come out to run and work, pull people, earn some money, and charge more during the New Year, and the bosses will not be angry during the New Year.

But after a whole day, let alone no one walking around, not even a sports car.

This situation is unprecedented. This can also be seen that the previous analysis is likely to be correct: the alien race may really come in, and Hanjiang City may be ......

Going further, if Hanjiang City is safe and sound, it is better to say, if something really happens, then he will jump into the fire pit with the only remaining three hundred people.

But don't go forward, there will definitely be people who can't survive this night, even if they don't lose their sex name directly, but they will inevitably cause high fever due to excessive fatigue and the like, in the wild, the high fever that does not go away can be regarded as a death declaration.

Continue to move forward, the road ahead is unknown, you can stop here, but you can only wait for death.

For a while, as the village head, Lao Ned, who was almost in charge of the life and death of a village, also fell into a dilemma.

"Ned!" A hoarse voice came, alarming the old man in thought.

Old Ned raised his head and looked at the person who came, and although he still had a sad face, he was still respectful, and he was about to exclaim:

"Martial ......"

Li Wu waved his hand, interrupted him, and said: "It can't go on like this, there are not many people who can resist it, otherwise let's do it, you first lead everyone to find an open place and rest for a while." ”

Old Ned was reluctant to refute Li Wu, but he still hesitated and did not agree directly.

Li Wu knew what he was worried about, so he took another step forward, used his body to block between Old Ned and Liu Gensheng, who looked confused, and whispered in Old Ned's ear: "I have investigated, and I have found no aliens nearby. You rest now, I'll go directly to Hanjiang City to see the situation, if there is no problem, I'll be back in half an hour." ”

Old Ned thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with you!" ”

"No!" Li Wu waved his hand and refused.

"You can watch everyone here, but you're just a combat professional, and even if you go with me, it won't help much."

Li Wu told the truth, although there was no problem with his words, but Old Ned always felt that this martial king seemed to dislike himself.

But there was no choice but to nod and agree.

Seeing that he agreed, Li Wu instructed: "You take everyone to rest first, and I will leave after saying a few words to my son, and strive to go early and return early!" ”

Old Ned agreed, and began to tell what Li Wu said.

……

Li Wenhao was also walking with the team, on both sides were Wang Xiaowen and Liu Guwu.

Just now, I don't know what happened. First the gentleman walked to the front of the line with a worried face, and then the father followed.

Li Wenhao was a little worried, but he couldn't say why.

But soon, Dad returned, stood at the side of the procession, and waved at himself.

"Dad......?"

Hesitating, Li Wenhao walked over.

When Li Wenhao walked in front of him, Li Wu suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on his head under Li Wenhao's slightly flustered gaze.

Then, it was actually a little gentle and rubbed.

Then he didn't say much, just took a ring from his hand and put it on Li Wenhao's finger.

When the ring was placed on Li Wenhao's hand, several spikes suddenly burst out from the inside and pierced into the skin of Li Wenhao's finger.

Then, before Li Wenhao could react to the pain, the spikes had already been withdrawn.

After that, the ring shrank a few points under Li Wenhao's gaze, from the circumference of Li Wu's fingers to the appearance of being tightly attached to Li Wenhao's fingers.
