Chapter 14: The End of the Road
In the dream, he returned to the territory that belonged to him. Where witnessed his growth and carried the glory of a generation of kings.
Litian's parents also lived in a small tribe of Chinese refugees. There lives the descendants of survivors of the war of annihilation.
Until the day. A powerful tribe, attacked there. Litian's parents escaped and began a primitive life.
At this time, Litian was already conceived in the mother's body.
The two of them are helpless, and one is pregnant, so you can imagine how difficult the living conditions are. At that time, the environment was much harsher than it is now.
Fortunately, Litian's father is a great man, and he holds up a piece of the sky by himself. After one battle after another, and bloody battles again and again, he finally killed a party's territory and achieved a hegemon.
This is an extremely rich territory.
Litian was born in such an environment, but unfortunately his birth also cost his mother's life at the same time.
The father, who has no thoughts, focuses all his energy on Xiao Litian's body. In order to be able to give Li Tian a little more chance to survive in the future, since the day he was born, he has been cultivated differently.
Litian grew up drinking the milk* water of various beasts since he was a child. These are all captured by his father one by one in the fight again and again, sometimes even mixed with the blood of his father and animals, feeding Xiao Litian.
Therefore, Litian has been extremely strong since he was a child. His father stocked him in a tree when he was hunting, so he learned to climb when he couldn't walk. He was able to dodge the attacks of some small animals and became extremely sensitive.
When he was just three years old, his father took him with him from hunting and let him observe and learn. By the age of five, Litian was able to hunt some small animals alone.
In the days that followed, his father did his best to pass on various skills to Litian, constantly sharpening him. It wasn't until Litian was twelve years old that his father, who had suffered physical and mental devastation, finally couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't afford to get sick.
The sky is falling!
Before dying, his father took Litian's hand and told him a legend.
In a distant place, a group of people lived. There was no pollution, no cold, and no beasts. is a heavenly being.
The people there enjoyed a modern and civilized life, which was much better than the life before the war. This is a hope left to him by his father, a beautiful hope, for him to pursue.
Twelve-year-old Litian has been dreaming of finding that paradise and living in that fairytale world ever since.
As a result, as his father's body stiffened, the cruel reality gave him a blow to the head. A violent bear who has always had a territorial dispute with his father smelled the breath of the death of his fierce enemy and took the opportunity to kill him.
Li Tian, who was only twelve years old, could not resist the attack of an adult violent bear, so he had to flee in the wilderness. Fortunately, Storm Bear was only interested in his old opponent, and he escaped with his life.
The father used his own corpse to protect Litian for the last time.
Litian has a clear understanding of this cruel world.
After that, it was a nightmare. He was only twelve years old. I had to get some leftovers in the cracks of various forces.
Fleeing and starving became the most important things he ever experienced, and they accelerated his growth.
So three years later, Litian officially began to challenge his first territory. A pack of timberwolves became his target, the wolf pack was not numerous, and the wolf king was already old. It is in the stage of alternating between the old and the new, which is suitable for the choice of calendar days.
Things went surprisingly well. After successfully killing the wolf queen, the wolves scattered. Litian finally has a territory of his own, although he is harassed from time to time by the evil neighbor old bison.
Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. The other, more numerous and more ferocious of the wolf king, took in the remnants of the surviving defeated soldiers and made a comeback.
Originally, the last thing in the calendar was this kind of beast with weak speed defense. Unfortunately, the clever wolf king took possession of Litian's water source from the beginning, forcing Litian to go to war head-on. Faced with a numerically superior enemy, after several days of hard fighting, he left behind a corpse and had no choice but to be wounded and left.
At the edge of the forest, he was attacked by a giant python and was wounded again. Fortunately, he succeeded in killing the python and got the python armor.
At this moment, Litian, who was about to regain the territory, met the members of the multi-unit who came out to investigate, and was almost killed as a monster.
Hence this series, the process of going from hostility to contact with the Federation and then to integration.
After the first very unfriendly contact with the Federation, Litian mysteriously vanished. The harmful federal search was also fruitless. In fact, at that time, it was the time for him to regain his territory.
Prepared days, this time is bound to win. Since getting the python armor, Litian's strength has increased greatly, and ordinary wolves no longer pose a threat to him.
As expected, after nearly two-thirds of the wolves were killed by Litian, the wolf king withdrew from the territory with the remnants of his army. It wasn't until they cooperated with the old bison that the wolves were completely wiped out.
Since then, Li has truly become a hegemon. Until this operation, the rule of the realm was rock-solid.
And before leaving, Litian came to his father's former territory and killed the original violent bear, which can be regarded as avenging his father.
The success of this revenge shows from the side that before Litian left, his strength had surpassed that of his former father. Now that his strength has increased greatly this time, Litian has more confidence in the future
After a night's rest, everyone regained their strength. Sit around and discuss your next steps over breakfast.
Li Tian first said: "It is impossible to complete the mission now, but it is hopeless to return to the base." There are only two ways to return to the base, one is through the forest and the other is back along the snowy mountains. Obviously, both of these paths are dead-end. I advocate continuing to try to complete this mission and proceed according to the predetermined plan. ”
"I'm against it." Before Litian could finish speaking, Jack gave his opinion.
"It's ridiculous to say that the task is accomplished now. Now the losses are heavy, and there is only one way to return to the base. Even if we can't return on our own, we should stay where we are and wait for help.
If the base finds out that we have not completed the mission as scheduled, it will definitely come to search and rescue us. ”
Li Tian sighed in his heart, this is simply an idiot's idea. The mission cannot be completed, these people have no meaning to the Federation. Did Jack think that he was the grandson of the Commander of District 31, so the Federation would use huge reserves and manpower to come to the rescue?
Even if the Federation did come to their rescue. Didn't he know that this operation took three years to prepare, and just the use of helicopters was a problem.
The reserve is located deep in the forest, where helicopters cannot take off at all and can only be transported underground. The propellers can be disassembled, what to do with the bulky fuselage? In that narrow passage, the light transport fuselage is not complete without a few months.
Will these few people be able to hold out here for a few months? It's safer, but it's only in the forest. Only Litian knows that in today's world, there is no so-called security at all.
Litian can survive in such conditions, but what about the others? Can they? And even if they could, how would the rescue team find them? If you fly high, the two sides can't find each other at all, and the consequences of flying low can be imagined, and the experience of these people is a lesson from the past.
The most critical point. Without the existence of a figure like Litian, the Federation would not even have the courage to leave the base. Otherwise, this mission should have been carried out a long time ago, how could it have waited until now.
And for completing the task, Litian has his own ideas. Although it seems that the task cannot be completed at all in the current situation, there is a glimmer of hope.
First of all, you can go to the communication station to reconnoiter and see what kind of materials are needed to restore communications. Then follow the routes you have laid out earlier, which are much safer than here.
There are communication equipment at each mission point on the route, and as long as you collect them all the way, you may be able to collect them all. It is not impossible to turn around and return to the communication station to complete the task.
At the very least, such a decision is much more practical than the impossibility glimmer of hope here. Everyone's chances of survival are also much greater.
Li Tian told everyone what he thought in his heart. Everyone agreed, only Jack was still insisting on his own opinion, but unfortunately the decision of this operation was in the hands of Litian, and he had no choice but to obey.
So, Li Tian commanded everyone and marched to the communication station again. There were no more wounded in the team, and although they were confused about the future, the spirit of the whole team had recovered a lot.
After this test of life and death, the surviving people have made obvious progress, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. The solemn aura displayed in everyone's body cannot be said to be the same as before departure.
Sure enough, it was as Litian said. In just three days, these people were attacked by no less than a dozen times, and even some powerful beasts that were driven out of the forest launched a deadly attack on Li Tian and the others, almost causing casualties.
Fortunately, Litian and others have improved greatly, and there have been no major problems in a short period of time.
On the fourth day, the danger finally came, and the two black panthers stared at Litian and the others.
The two black panthers are obviously not yet adults, and they may have just left their parents and came out to break into the world on their own. Newly born animals like them can only find some food on the outskirts of the forest.
However, they pose a great threat to the squad. Litian is the most troublesome for such creatures because they are faster than Litian.
The Black Panther also apparently sensed the strength of Litian. From time to time, let one of them lure Litian, and the other wait for an opportunity to move. This tactic was a huge annoyance for the days, especially their movement speed, which even Stephen couldn't lock onto.
From time to time, these two panthers can be found behind large trees, in the grass, or on branches. followed the crowd, stirring everyone's mind unsettled and deeply annoying.
