Chapter 175: Chapter 173: Hit the Road
"Weapons, ammunition and clothes, I've already brought them, and you'll distribute them later." Luo Yuan turned around and said to Zhou Yicheng.
"Okay!" Zhou Yicheng said neatly: "I'll do it!" β
As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the weapon boxes.
"Wait, how are you wounded?" Luo Yuan hurriedly stopped him.
"It's much better now, most of the wounds have scabbed, as long as it doesn't get wet, it's basically fine!" Zhou Yicheng thought about it and said.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain today!" Luo Yuan shook his head.
"I can only hope that they will make it through!" Zhou Yicheng's expression was gloomy: "Time waits for no one, it would be nice if I could recuperate for a few more days." β
Luo Yuan didn't say anything more, in fact, he had a better way to deal with this kind of injury, the life sucking attached to the horse slasher, although it was not of great use to the battle, but for such an external injury, it was almost immediate, but this was about his secret, and the other party was destined not to be his own person, once he arrived at the military base, he was bound to part ways, which made him hesitate a little.
A good knife, especially one that sharpens iron like clay and has supernatural powers, is enough to arouse greed.
And at that time, the shape of the person changed, he was strong and weak, and he and others had to ask for others, no matter how strong his personal strength was, no matter how scruples he had, he would not be able to help himself.
It's not that he is reluctant to give up a knife, but as a swordsman, the knife has become a part of his body, and every inch and foot of the saber is already well understood. And with the refining of the will day and night, this knife has already become like an arm, as if he has spirituality, once lost, his strength will also fall into a period of low points, which is undoubtedly dangerous in the last days.
Luo Yuan sighed, this can only be said when the situation comes.
Taking advantage of this gap, Luo Yuan went out to look at Lao Huang. Compared with yesterday, it has recovered a lot, the scabs of the wound have begun to fall off, revealing new and tender skin, when Luo Yuan saw it, it was wandering around, obviously walking bare, there was no problem.
When Luo Yuan came back, breakfast had already been prepared, everyone hastily finished breakfast, and when they were just about to leave, a few small figures appeared at the door.
These are three scrawny children, like refugees from Africa in pre-apocalyptic television, their cheeks strangely sunken into two round pits, and their eyes are sunken, like skeletons covered with a layer of skin, the eldest of them is about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger one is only eleven or twelve years old.
Their skin was covered in mud, but it was still visible that they were white, almost transparent. They looked at everyone timidly, with uneasy and helpless expressions!
The youngest of them kept grabbing the placket of a child next to him, trembling all over.
Perhaps because of the light, their eyes were always slightly squinted, and the tears were stimulated to flow down, and two obvious marks were washed out on their faces covered with mud.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Seeing that they were all children, Master Wang hurriedly asked.
"Yes, someone called me here." The tallest one, obviously the most courageous, said strongly, and added another sentence after speaking: "They say you can eat enough here!" β
Luo Yuan already had a general understanding of where these people were, and motioned to Master Wang not to speak, and asked, "Why is it only the three of you, and the others?" β
"They don't want to come, just let us come, or they will starve the three of us to death." The boy plucked up his courage and said, a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Luo Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that those people were running out of food, and driving away these fatherless and motherless people was obviously to save the last bit of food.
"These bastards!" Huang Jiahui scolded in a low voice: "Come here, what's your name?" β
"My name is Deng Wei, thank you, big sister." The boy who spoke before immediately said sweetly, and his little face showed a hint of joy.
"My name is Zhong Chuqiang, thank you big sister."
Chen ...... Chen Jiayi, Xie ...... Thank! A child who had been bowing his head timidly raised his head, glanced at everyone secretly, and then quickly lowered his head.
"Master, go get them something to eat, and we'll eat it on the way!" Luo Yuan knew that Master Wang had always had the habit of eating snacks, and he always put something in his bag, and when he was free, he kept chewing and chewing, and his small mouth never stopped.
"Oh!" Sure enough, Master Wang answered, opened his backpack, took out a few pieces of egg-sized jerky from it, and handed it over: "This meat is very hard, you can only tear it and eat it one by one." β
However, Master Wang's kindness was obviously useless, and several people were already hungry, so they took the jerky and began to gobble it up, and after finding that they couldn't chew it, they simply swallowed it hard, almost choking.
"Alright, no further delay, let's go!" Luo Yuan retracted his gaze, looked at the time, and said, then whistled.
The huge body of the monitor lizard soon appeared in front of everyone, frightening the three children's faces pale, even the tallest Deng Wei trembled, almost unstable on his feet, and the youngest little girl was about to cry, but she tried her best to hold back, just holding the boy named Zhong Chuqiang next to her.
Huang Jiahui noticed this scene, walked over and comforted with a smile: "Don't be afraid, this is what we raised!" β
"It'...... Does it really not eat people? Deng Wei stammered, his face pale.
"Hmph, monitor lizards have always been very well-behaved, they never eat people, and we will sit on its back later!" Wang Shishi couldn't stand up when he saw that they were scared, and said dissatisfiedly.
"Back...... On the back? Deng Wei said tremblingly, and he was about to cry: "That...... Can I not sit down? β
"Of course not, unless you can run faster than a monitor lizard!" Master Wang pursed his lips, the child is timid.
These people have been living in a dark supermarket all the time, even the lowest-level mutant creatures can rarely be seen, how have they seen such a scene, they only feel as if they have entered hell, but their fright is obviously not over, and when Chen Xianfeng comes back from the outside, they experience another panic.
It wasn't until Huo Dong dragged him on the back of the monitor lizard that he saw that most of the people around him looked as usual, so he relieved his breath a little.
For them, today's scene may remain in their memories forever until death comes.
β¦β¦
The team finally set off, and there were more than 20 people sitting on the monitor lizard's back at once, which seemed a little crowded, and it would slide down if he was not careful, plus Lao Huang was still a little weak, so Luo Yuan just let the monitor lizard move forward on foot along the way.
The sky was cloudy, like a pot of thick ink!
After walking for less than an hour, the sky began to rain, everyone had already been mentally prepared, and did not stop, continue to move forward, as gradually leaving the urban area of Jiaping, the road became more and more difficult to walk, and the road surface in many places had already been close to disappearing, becoming a part of the forest.
When it was close to noon, Luo Yuan walked onto the highway again, and the road was slightly easier to walk. During this time, another wave of fleeing flying creatures flew by, which not only brought panic, but also increased the sense of urgency in everyone's hearts.
At this time, the lunch was no longer in charge, and everyone hurried to the road, but it had only been gone for less than an hour, and the team had to stop.
The road ahead is broken.
The highway collapsed, the length of which was hundreds of meters, and if you continued to move forward, the road ahead was still intermittent, and the road was cut into more than a dozen sections. As for the farther places, it is not clear at all because of the line of sight, but the situation is obviously not too good.
Luo Yuan stood at the collapse site, scratched his head a little irritably, threw out a trail of water, and said loudly: "Go to the fortifications in front of you to rest and leave after eating!" β
β¦β¦β¦
It's raining non-stop outside, and it seems to be getting bigger and bigger!
The inside of the fortifications was full of water, and the wooden plank beds inside were all damp with different Cheng dΓΉ, and after looking for a lot, Huo Dong finally found a mop with a wooden handle that was almost rotten in the corner, and then lit a fire.
Luo Yuan went out in the middle, and when he came back, he had already dragged two low-level mutant beasts in his hands, and several women simply dealt with them and threw them into the bottom of the pot.
The beating flames kept ****, and the three children tried to squeeze around the fire, but they were still shivering from the cold, but they were always strong and muffled.
Huang Jiahui touched their foreheads and found that it was surprisingly hot. Their bodies are very weak, not even as good as ordinary people, and they are drenched in a somewhat clammy and cold rain, so it is strange that they do not have a fever.
Huang Jiahui gestured to Luo Yuan, and Luo Yuan nodded.
She got up from the package, carefully took out a food brick, thought about it, cut a fifth, and put it in the stone pot. With their table yesterday, a third will obviously affect the continuation of the journey.
After a while, a strong aroma wafted out again, and several soldiers were shocked, and their eyes couldn't help but be attracted. Although Zhou Yicheng and a few other soldiers thought that the thing was strange, they wisely didn't say anything.
Luo Yuan studied the map for a while, and could only sigh helplessly, there is no better road than the highway, and others, such as the national highway, I am afraid that it is already almost the same as the dense forest! The strong corrosive ability of the roots of mutated plants has already cracked and decomposed the cement.
After lunch, the three children were obviously much more energetic than before, and even the fever had subsided a little, and even because of eating bricks, they seemed a little excited.
Seeing that everyone was in good condition, Luo Yuan didn't dare to delay and let the team set off again.
The collapse site is six or seven meters above the ground, and below it is a dense bush, and from above you can see huge patches of concrete and rusty steel bars, as well as broken bushes, and it is clear that the collapse here has not been long.
This is not good news!
This shows that if it is not a natural cause, then it is possible that the cause of the collapse of the guide zhì is not far away.
He glanced down, hesitated, and jumped straight down.
Along the way, he had already been prepared to face danger, not to mention, was there a way out at this time?
Either you enter or you die!
