Chapter 109: Back to the City
The sky had dawned, and a round of red sun crept out of the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At first, everyone was still running desperately, but soon, the old problem reappeared, they actually returned to the original point, and no matter how they ran, they couldn't run out of this area.
"Holy shit, what the fuck is going on?" Tang Xiaojun shouted a little angrily.
Although the others did not speak, they were also very anxious in their hearts, and they couldn't walk out, and there were countless fire ants chasing behind them, so they could only cover their heads and circle around this forest, if they continued like this, they would always have the moment when their physical strength was exhausted.
Even now, there are already several people who are tired, and I'm afraid they won't last long.
Just when those people were a little desperate, the sun finally hit the earth, and the original gloomy atmosphere in the forest was suddenly swept away, and even the air became much fresher.
The scene before everyone's eyes has also changed dramatically.
I saw that the tall trees began to shrink rapidly, and soon turned into dead trees, and the green grass on the ground soon turned gray, as if it had lost all its nutrients.
At this time, everyone was shocked to see that under those dead leaves, there were many white bones, including human ones, and the bones of more beasts, densely packed, I don't know how many.
"The fire ants are gone!"
Everyone hurriedly turned around to check, and saw that those fire ants really retreated, they were all relieved, most of them sat on the ground with their butts, gasping for breath, and some even lay down directly on the ground, they were too tired to care about the image at all.
Tang Xiaojun was also tired, and along the way, he was still carrying the injured Feng Zhengzheng on his back, but his physique was also much stronger than ordinary people, and he was finally not paralyzed.
"Xiaojun, we plan to go and join the big team first, and then return to Ironstone City immediately."
"Okay, it's all up to you." Tang Xiaojun has no opinion.
Guo Daming nodded and didn't say anything, but he was still a little depressed in his heart, he never thought that several people would die in this operation, these people were the elites of his team, and it was a pity that they died so inexplicably.
The group quickly set off anew, this time they didn't get lost, they finally got out of this large woodland, and everyone's mood improved.
After half a day of hurrying, everyone joined the rest of the hunting team, but the speed was much slower than when Guo Daming and the others came.
Tang Xiaojun looked at it and counted it, Guo Daming's team had about thirty people, most of them were young and middle-aged, well-trained, and they all had that kind of extremely strong and sharp weapons in their hands, which seemed to be very strong in combat.
However, Tang Xiaojun and the others were not welcomed by everyone, and their attitude was quite cold, but this is not difficult to understand, after all, it was because of them that caused several casualties in their hunting team.
After a night's rest, the group continued on their way, passing through several forests and over a hill, and finally could see the outline of Ironstone City in the distance when it was almost dark.
When everyone got closer, a gate suddenly opened on the wall, and an off-road vehicle drove out slowly, Tang Xiaojun saw Guo Daming smile, and knew that it should be fine.
"Dad, why did you come back?"
Before the off-road vehicle stopped, a girl jumped out of the passenger seat, with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a peach blossom, and hurriedly ran over.
Guo Daming smiled and hugged his daughter, feeling much better.
"Hey, Tongtong, where's mine?"
As soon as Song Jianye saw her, his eyes never left, and he waited next to Guo Daming, at this time, seeing that the two of them were finally separated, he immediately opened his arms and asked her for a hug with a smile.
"Oops~ stinks to death, stinks to death, Song Jianye, you fell into the dung pit, why is it so stinky?"
The girl looked disgusted, pinched her nose and dodged.
"Huh~ Dad, who are they? Why haven't I seen it, did you bring it back? ”
The girl was very curious, and when she saw a few strangers in the team, she immediately asked Guo Daming.
"Hello, my name is Tang Xiaojun."
Tang Xiaojun also had a good impression of this cute girl, and when he heard him talk about himself, he walked over quite imposingly, stretched out his right hand, and made a gesture of shaking hands.
"Hello." The girl said hello to Tang Xiaojun, but she didn't mean to shake hands, but hid behind Guo Daming, only revealing half of her face.
"Xiaojun, this is my daughter, Guo Tong." Guo Daming took the initiative to introduce Tang Xiaojun, and then turned around and shouted to everyone: "Okay, everyone go to the city!" Tomorrow we will meet at the old place. ”
The rest of the group dispersed in a hurry, and walked into the city in twos and threes, and in a short time they were finished.
"Xiaojun, you go with me to see the city lord first, you don't have to worry, he is a very good person."
After Guo Daming finished speaking, he didn't wait for Tang Xiaojun to reply, took his daughter's hand, and walked forward.
Tang Xiaojun glanced back at the other people, and said in a low voice: "Wait and be careful, if there is no problem, we will find a way to stay." ”
Hou Dawei and the others nodded and agreed, as for Bai Manlu, not only did she not object, but she was the first to walk towards Iron and Stone City, still holding the peeling knife from Guo Daming in her hand.
"Hey~ you wait."
Tang Xiaojun had no choice but to chase after him quickly.
As soon as he walked into Ironstone City, Tang Xiaojun felt that this name was wrong, it should be called Ironstone Cottage, most of the houses in it were built of wood, uneven height, and looked a little chaotic.
The roads are all dirt, but there are no cement roads, but there are really a lot of people, from time to time someone walks by them, they will say hello to Guo Daming, some just nod, some will chat with him, in short, one thing is certain, Guo Daming's status in Iron and Stone City is definitely not low.
However, this is also a good thing for Tang Xiaojun and them, and although this Iron and Stone City looks dilapidated, he feels down-to-earth in his heart.
Tang Xiaojun turned his head again and signaled to Hou Dawei and the others, and had already decided in his heart that if there was no accident, he would stay here.
After walking for about a few hundred meters, everyone finally arrived at their destination, an ordinary big wooden house, just a little taller than the ones they had just seen, and the only thing that caught the eye was a sign hanging above the door, on which a few big words were properly written: 'City Lord's Office'.
"Uncle Guo, you're back."
Before Guo Daming, Tang Xiaojun and the others entered the house, they saw a bright-eyed girl coming out, dressed plainly, but her behavior was quite capable.
"Hehe, Zhong Ling, hello, is your dad here?"
Guo Daming politely greeted Shen Zhongling, and asked her father directly, Shen Jiacheng, who is also the city lord of Iron and Stone City.
"Uncle Guo, I'm sorry, my dad is in the forging area and hasn't come out for a few days. But if you have anything to do, just tell me and I'll do it for you. ”
"Hehe, okay then." Guo Daming turned half of his body and beckoned: "Xiaojun, this is Shen Zhongling, the daughter of the city lord of Shen, if the city lord is not there, she will be in charge." ”
"Zhong Ling, these are the survivors I met while hunting, his name is Tang Xiaojun."
"Hello." Shen Zhongling looked at Tang Xiaojun with a smile and stretched out his right hand generously.
Tang Xiaojun also shook hands with her with a smile, and said bluntly: "Hello, we are all survivors from Dongjiang City, and we hope to join Iron and Stone City. ”
"Dongjiang City?"
Shen Zhongling thought that he had misheard, and looked at Tang Xiaojun with some doubts.
Tang Xiaojun also knew that she might not believe it, so he had to tell the matter again as it was, and then asked again, hoping to join Ironstone City.
Shen Zhongling turned his head to look at Guo Daming, and when he saw him nodding, he agreed with a smile, and warmly invited Tang Xiaojun and the others to have dinner together.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a beard suddenly walked in at the door, Tang Xiaojun was surprised, but unexpectedly, Guo Daming and Shen Zhongling hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
Looking at this situation, Tang Xiaojun couldn't understand that this person was the city lord of Iron and Stone City.
