"Captain, we've been here for an hour and fifty-four minutes, and it's time for us to go."

After a simple lunch, Xiao Jiang stood up and said to the captain.

"I'll take ......a look," the captain looked at the watch on his wrist, and it was true that an hour and fifty-four minutes had passed since he arrived at the oasis bazaar.

"It's almost time, let's go." The captain stood up, and by the way, picked up Xiao An, who was eating well and leaning against the roots of the tree to sleep in the shade, ignoring his unhappy look, and threw him directly into the car.

Xiao Jiang and Lao Ding's movements were very quick, and in less than half a minute, they had already packed up everything and put it in the trunk of the car. In this post-apocalyptic world, no resources are useless, and even if they are not lacking, they will not be wasted.

After getting into the car, the driver was Xiao Jiang, the captain sat in the passenger seat, and Lao Ding and Xiao An sat in the back seat.

After the others sat down, Xiao Jiang suddenly drove the car out of the oasis with his hands and feet, and drove straight in the northwest direction.

Although the outside of the car is billowing yellow sand accompanied by endless heat waves, there is a cool air conditioner in the car, so that the temperature in the car has been kept at about 20 degrees, this kind of treatment is enough to envy the vast majority of human beings in the south of Middle-earth.

After sitting in the car and gradually losing the shadow of the oasis, even Xiao An was already groggy and shrunk into a ball and fell asleep on the seat, Lao Ding asked: "Captain, is there any information about the shelter?" ”

The captain nodded, didn't look back, leaned back in his seat, put his feet in front of the window unruly, and said lightly: "After leaving this oasis, drive all the way to the northwest is the closest shelter from here." ”

Lao Ding frowned, and pulled out a map from behind him, it was a hand-drawn map, about forty percent of which was drawn, but the rest of the part was still blank.

Lao Ding took this map and took out a map before the apocalypse, but the map before the end of the world is not a military map that ordinary people can see, after carefully comparing the two maps, Lao Ding still shook his head, put away all the maps, and said: "Still no, you must get the next shelter, and after determining the information of that shelter, you can confirm the direction of the next step." ”

The captain comforted in an indifferent tone: "Don't be so anxious, take your time, the materials we carry are enough for us to survive in the wild for half a year, enough for us to find the target location." ”

At this time, Xiao Jiang, who was driving, suddenly said: "However, we had better prepare, after about seven o'clock in the evening, we should encounter a battle." ”

"Huh? What fight? Lao Ding asked with a frown.

The captain stretched out his hands and leaned on the back of his head, and said lightly, "When we inquired about the news of the shelter, we heard another news. ”

"What's the news?"

"It's nothing, recently in the direction near that shelter, a goblin tribe has been refreshed, and there may be a goblin sacrifice, and there is already an oasis nearby that has been attacked, but the news hasn't spread yet." The captain squinted his eyes, looking like he was about to sleep, and said.

Lao Ding frowned and said, "Goblin tribe...... How many goblins are in there? How many Goblin Warriors are there? In case there is a Goblin Centurion or a Centurion level, it will be troublesome. ”

The captain said, "I don't know...... But as long as it's not a mutated goblin boss, we'll all be able to handle it. Although there is no need to rush, you can't waste time, and if you take a detour, God knows where you have to go to finish it. We're not familiar with this neighborhood...... Moreover, more time may be wasted in case you encounter a more troublesome monster. ”

Lao Ding nodded and said, "Then...... Just wait for the evening. ”

"That's right...... You should take a rest first, old Ding. Here I am. Xiao Jiang also persuaded.

"It's okay......" Lao Ding was not hypocritical, he said hello to Xiao Jiang, and then fell asleep, and he had to be careful not to press Xiao An.

"If there's something, call it." Lao Ding closed his eyes and said, and then, he was already snoring.

The captain also closed his eyes and said, "If the radar has a response, no matter how small the reaction is, you have to call me." ”

Xiao Jiang drove the car intently, and replied intently: "You guys rest first, don't worry, don't you know my ability yet?" ”

"Well, it's because I believe in your abilities that I ......" the captain muttered, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and after a while, there was a regular snoring sound in his nose, but he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

As a result, there was silence in the carriage again, and three of the four people in the team had already lowered all their guards, fell into a deep sleep, and handed everything over to Xiao Jiang, who was driving.

When a round of red sun gradually sank into the West Mountain, Xiao Jiang stopped the car.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, but it was still very bright, after all, the sun always sets late in midsummer.

And another reason why Xiao Jiang had to stop...... It's a corpse.

No, it's not just the corpse, because near this corpse, there are traces of a fire, and all kinds of messy footprints and so on.

The captain and Lao Ding got out of the car to investigate, and rummaged through the snow-white skeleton that no longer had a trace of flesh on it...... This is the skeleton of the upper body of a human being, and the top of the skeleton is also covered with countless fine tooth marks, as if a group of gluttons have greedily eaten this person without even a trace of flesh left.

Lao Ding looked at the skull and said lightly: "It should be an adult male human, probably a resident of a nearby oasis, but it may also be a ...... of the Vault."

The captain shook his head and said, "The defensive ability of the Vault is not something that ordinary goblin tribes can capture, even if you pick up corpses. And...... This fire, still very new, probably at noon......"

"At the middle of the day, when the sun is at its hottest and the temperature is at its highest? Still walking in the desert without transportation? Why is that? While goblins aren't human, they're creatures and can't be as cold and cold as zombies, skeletons, and the like. In such a hot weather, they should all sleep in the stockade during the day. Lao Ding said with a frown.

The captain carefully looked at the footprints and other traces around him, touched his chin, thought of the information about goblins he had seen in his mind, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Perhaps, there are two possible explanations for these traces......
