Chapter 181: Hejie returns to the Special Administrative Region from the Red Triangle
Hejie had planned to ride a pony before dark and return to the SAR early to pay attention to Mr. Zhao, but an accident happened and the mount turned into a weak woman.
In desperation, he had to make another plan: "Okay! Then ......, let's leave tomorrow morning! ”
Without the Ripper with you, it is dangerous to go on the road at night.
Everyone agreed, leaving a few clansmen to take care of Hejie, and the others went their own way.
Hejie took advantage of his free time to check on the living conditions of the Hetrian tribe. It's much better than I thought it would be, with mountains, water, green forests, and all kinds of animals and crops.
There are even small factories that make tools and weapons.
The tribe had encountered something much more dangerous than today, and had enough experience to deal with it, even if such a chaotic thing happened in the morning, it was not even two or three hours before absolute calm was restored.
Hejie walked around the village, asking about some information, and the accompanying people answered in detail. They knew that the envoy had come on behalf of Mr. Zhao, and that the questions he asked were all of Mr. Zhao's concerns.
Stand by the river again and calmly face the village built on the mountain. From low to high, there are rows of stone houses, and people frolic in front of the door from time to time.
More people are concentrated in some places to work, especially in the large fields south of the village, and I don't know what is planted there, in short, it gives people a very leisurely feeling.
This is the Storm World, at least it is completely different from the Storm World that Hejie understands, and I don't understand why Mr. Zhao would give up such a good environment to go to the barren land of the Special Administrative Region.
Hejie was even thinking about waiting for this mission to be completed, and told Mr. Zhao to see if he could be sent here and bring his family. Come to think of it, no one knows whether Mr. Zhao can agree or not.
As the sun rolls over the mountains and the river begins to cool down, the tranquil world of the Red Triangle prepares for the night.
Torches were lit around the village, and the watchtowers were punctually lit, and they had strict management and division of labor. The patrol consisted of more than a dozen able-bodied men, and there was a reduction in strength tonight, the few who fell into the river and died during the day.
Hejie's final arrangement was to ask Zuo Licheng to help find a bottle to fill the river water, and he was going to bring it back to Mr. Zhao. There is no second ripper at the scene to verify, and in case the explanation is not clear, at least there is a river to "argue" for itself.
There is a faint light in every house, and everyone collects some oil from the trees on weekdays, and gathers a small amount of oil brought from the green zone to spend the night, and the light is a sign of the tenacious expression of their life for the stormmen.
Both the Orange Pie area and the Green Pie area have electricity, but it's too remote to have it yet.
The dinner was very timely, this meal had too many meanings, mainly to see off Yu Tianlei and An Liu, and at the same time, I also hoped that the envoy would go back and say a few kind words, so that Mr. Zhao would have time to come back and see.
Because Hejie had just defected to Mr. Zhao, he didn't know much about his specific arrangements, otherwise he could have told the people here very clearly that there would be a road leading to the green zone in the future.
"Don't go out at night!" Yu Tianlei warned Hejie.
Hejie knew the dangers at night, but the dangers here were completely different from the dangers faced by the Special Zone. At night, the peak of homeless haunts in the SAR is the peak of the haunting, and if you are further away from the residential area, there will be a large number of rippers.
But it was different here, not long after the meal, the howls of wild beasts came from the forest behind the village, and they were in groups.
The clansmen weren't too nervous, but they were much more serious than they had been half an hour before. Although there are people on duty to keep watch, it is always good to be on guard against the countless wild beasts in the forest.
Hejie thought that the howlers were also rippers, so he didn't ask.
Early the next morning, Yu Tianlei, An Liu, and Hejie had crossed the river and appeared on the east bank. They were accompanied by several young men. The journey of five or six hundred kilometers to the Gobi took a long time, and in order to ensure a smooth arrival, Yu Tianlei arranged for several entourages to set off together.
The key problem now is that the Ripper Pony, which could have traveled 300 kilometers a day, now needs to be supported by someone.
On the west bank, the tribesmen waved goodbye, wishing them a smooth journey.
By the time the temperature in the desert began to rise, the group was far away from the Red Triangle. Looking back, the crimson summit was fading away.
It's a long way to go, but it's worth the trek for these people. The drinking water had already been drunk, and the thirsty and uncomfortable entourage almost drank the bottle of river water brought from the Red Triangle, but fortunately was scolded by Yu Tianlei.
It took eight days to arrive at the edge of the southernmost residential area of the SAR. Luckily for them didn't happen what Heger had been fearing, and there were few rippers on the route.
It was almost dark now, and because it was relatively close to the destination, Hejie didn't plan to stop the team, as long as he held on for a few more hours before returning to Mr. Zhao's base camp.
The temperature in the Gobi, where there are no tall plants, rises and falls quickly, and the evening breeze blows much colder than the previous moment.
Hejie, who should have been in a state of excitement, with his professional sensitivity, felt the danger of unspeakable debut at this time. It stands to reason that being so close to a residential area should not be too dangerous.
From the division, it can be said that this place already belongs to the Yufang District controlled by Gui Tianling, and the Ripper has never been within ten kilometers. However, this is not necessarily the case with wanderers.
Right! It's the wanderers, and now is the time for them to start haunting. These mutant storms did not dare to go too far into the Gobi, and the small tribes scattered around the residential areas became the best targets for their sneak attacks.
With the last rays of sunlight not below the distant horizon, the air on the Gobi seemed to condense in an instant.
"Everyone stay vigilant, there is danger nearby!" Hejie reminded everyone.
In fact, including Yu Tianlei, they were all aware of the abnormal aura of this dusk, and the intuition of the storm people was very strong, and they could almost detect danger when they appeared around them.
"What is it?" Anliu asked scaredly.
"Wanderer!" Hejie whispered.
Yu Tianlei, a mutant storm man like a wanderer, had heard that the sect leader had mentioned it in front of Mr. Zhao, and said that there might be such a dangerous species near the Red Triangle.
In Zong Zewei's description, wanderers are terrifying all-meat eaters, who wait for an opportunity in the dark, kill the storm people and then eat them on the spot.
Although An Liu didn't know how powerful the wanderer was, both Mr. He and Yu Bo showed such caution and seriousness, so it was naturally not easy to deal with.
Sure enough, there were low, rapid breaths from the back of the line.
A wanderer glared at his extraordinarily green eyes, and gradually pressed on.
Everyone formed a defensive formation and quickly approached the residential area, where it would be safer. In fact, being targeted by wanderers at such a time has a very small chance of escaping. At least a few of them will be attacked and turned into food.
The situation was even worse than they thought, two pairs of green eyes appeared from the flanks at the same time, when did the Wanderers also form a group?
"What do you want to do?" Hejie yelled.
Yu Tianlei didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Mr. Zhao's territory, and his psychological preparation was completely insufficient.
