After two days of rapid travel, Chen Xiao and others have reached the mountainous area of D County from the reservoir on the outskirts of X City, a distance of about 300 miles.

Counting from the night they camped at the reservoir in X City, everyone has spent the third night so far, and if we count from T City, Chen Xiao and the other six people who set off from there have spent eight nights so far.

Through three nights of continuous absorption, the batch of spars obtained from the reservoir in X City was also completely absorbed by everyone in the early morning of this morning, and of course, everyone's strength has also increased significantly.

Among them, Chen Xiao is the most, he alone absorbed one-third of this batch of spars, about one hundred and fifty pieces, followed by Xiao Guo, he also absorbed about seventy pieces, nearly one-sixth of the total amount of spars, and the remaining spars were more or less divided by several other people, more than thirty pieces, less only absorbed more than twenty pieces, which mainly depends on the speed of a person's absorption time.

Chen Xiao also knew that this distribution was very unfair, but for the overall strength of the team and to save time for absorbing spars, he quickly consumed these spars regardless of the amount, of course, there is also a very important consideration, that is, I don't want to attract the attention or attack of others because of these spars, after all, since ancient times, it has been "innocent and guilty"!

In order to prevent the weaker people from being dissatisfied or resentful because of the less spars absorbed, Chen Xiao deliberately assigned more than 20 intermediate spars in this batch of spars to these people, firstly, to appease the dissatisfaction of these people, and secondly, to let the strength of these people catch up with others as soon as possible, so that the combat effectiveness of the entire team can be balanced as much as possible.

After processing the flesh and blood of several mountain wolves and packing their respective luggage and belongings, Chen Xiao and the others continued to climb towards the distant mountains in the morning light, their eyes watching the movements in the mountains and forests from time to time, looking cautious and vigilant.

It seems that after last night's incident, everyone has consciously raised their vigilance, after all, this is between the mountains and mountains, and there are some snakes, insects and beasts before the disaster, so naturally they can't be as lazy and casual as rushing in the plains, presumably they don't need Chen Xiao's special instructions, they will also pay attention to it.

On the plain, everyone only paid attention to other human beings, and Chen Xiao, who had always led the way, was on guard, so during the two days of hurrying, most of the people walking behind were extremely comfortable, and there were not many things for them to consider.

Now that you are in the mountains, you can't continue to rely on others, you must always be vigilant, even if you don't think about others, you have to think about your own safety.

After all, in the mountains, there is no guarantee when there will be poisonous insects and beasts to sneak attack, if you are not careful, you will definitely suffer a big loss, and last night's injury Liu Rui is a lesson, although his injury has been healed for the most part, but it still attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone's caution was naturally not in vain, and a lot of mutated insects and beasts were encountered in the morning, which appeared between the rugged mountain roads and dark trees from time to time, disturbing everyone again and again, but fortunately, the strength of these mutated mountain birds and hares was not very strong, not only did not hurt everyone, but also became the prey of everyone, at most it caused some fright to everyone.

The most difficult thing for everyone is the mutated poisonous snakes in the mountains and forests, these creatures are not only good at camouflage, but also quite good at concealment, and attack quickly, and the venom is also very aggressive, plus the functions of these poisonous snakes have to be strengthened, and the body and senses have also been enhanced to a great extent, so that everyone is unguardable along the way.

Fortunately, there are Chen Xiao and Xiao Guo in the team, both of them are not only very sharp in eyesight and senses, but also very quick to react, basically every time they can remind others of the location of the poisonous snake in time, and sometimes they will make a decisive move, wounding and killing the poisonous snake before it attacks, so that everyone is shocked at the same time, but also feels a little lucky.

Although the physical fitness of the guy is much stronger than before, if he is unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake, the consequences are unimaginable, and if he can't find a way to detoxify, it is likely that there will be casualties.

Fortunately, Xiao Guo had the experience of hunting in the mountains with his grandfather before, so he also knew the characteristics of poisonous snakes, and probably knew their habits and habitats, which led everyone to avoid many places where poisonous snakes may appear, and sometimes they could see through the camouflage of poisonous snakes in time, otherwise everyone might encounter more poisonous snakes.

Along the way, everyone worked step by step, carefully dealing with the attacks of many poisonous snakes and other animals, fortunately, they did not meet strong creatures, the largest was only a mountain eagle with a wingspan of more than three meters, but after being shot by Xiao Guozhong with two arrows, he fled in a hurry, and the largest poisonous snake encountered was only the thickness of the calf, three or four meters long, and finally was killed by everyone.

If the venomous snake encountered is larger, it must not be so easy to clean up, and then someone is bitten by it, it is also a normal thing, after all, in the mountains and forests, the trees are dense, the terrain is open, it is easy to be taken advantage of by large poisonous snakes, and the possibility of everyone being attacked will increase a lot, you must know that there are a few people who are weaker.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and at more than twelve o'clock at noon, when a group of eleven people crossed a mountain again, they finally saw the trace of the county seat of D County.

I saw that between the mountains more than ten miles ahead, there was a large natural basin surrounded by mountains, and some ruins of buildings at the edge of the basin were also faintly visible.

Seeing that the long-lost building finally appeared in sight, everyone was also excited, and suddenly felt that the hard trek in the morning was worth it, and this place was only a hundred miles away from Chen Xiao's hometown.

After everyone saw the hope, they obviously had passion to get up on the road, and the speed was a little faster, and now there was a clear goal of the county seat of D County to guide, and the road of more than ten miles was naturally not a problem, but in about an hour, Chen Xiao and others appeared on the periphery of the county seat of D County.

Because the county seat of D County is located in a basin and surrounded by mountains, it suffered a lot of damage in this disaster, not only bearing the meteorites falling from the air, but also the meteorites and mudslides that rolled down from the top of the mountain, coupled with the devastation of the earthquake, the county seat can now be said to be completely destroyed.

There are meteorites, craters, and broken walls everywhere, and it is difficult to find even a single intact building, and on the messy ground, except for ruins and ruins, it is difficult to find even a road that can be crossed.

Seeing that this county was so tragically destroyed, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and at the same time their scalps were a little numb, just this place, not to mention how many survivors there are, it is difficult to find even a decent sidewalk, if someone can really survive here, I really don't know how much luck it takes, I'm afraid that there will be green smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.

Chen Xiao and the others observed the appearance of the county seat of D County, and after sighing helplessly, they began to discuss countermeasures with their own opinions, and after some discussion, they finally adopted Chen Xiao's opinion, that is, everyone will continue to move forward along the edge of the mountain.

Because if you rush on the hillside, it is not only good to observe the surrounding terrain and conditions, but also convenient for rapid advancement, although the road on the mountain is not smooth enough, but compared to the road in this county, it is dozens of times better.

In this way, a group of figures finally returned to the winding mountain beam, and Chen Xiao, who walked in front of him, continued to slowly move in the direction of his hometown with everyone, but as the direction of home got closer and closer, his face became more and more indifferent, sometimes he didn't say a word to everyone for an hour, and from time to time he would show listlessness and his eyes were blank, and he looked like he was wandering out of the world.

Other people also knew that Chen Xiao was thinking about his heart now and was very worried about the safety of his family, so everyone was kind and pleasant when they talked to him, and everyone stopped laughing and joking, for fear that it would irritate Chen Xiao.

Even the little fat man and Peng Ling, who have always been talkative, rarely returned to their seriousness, no longer telling some gossip and jokes, but each of them obediently hurried up.

The little fat man knows, don't look at Chen Xiao, who usually pretends to be very mature and calm, and persuades and comforts others, but when facing the misfortune of his relatives, it is difficult to be calm, I am afraid that he is now as difficult to help himself as Li Han was at the beginning!

Chen Xiao didn't know what his mood was now, anyway, it was extremely messy, looking at his hometown that was getting closer and closer, and some memories from the past were also surging, he could be described as having mixed feelings in his heart now......

There are worries about loved ones, prayers for friends, memories of childhood friends, and longing for what their hometown will look like......

I haven't been home for more than two years, and I haven't caught up with this sudden disaster, and I don't know what my hometown has become? Does the big willow tree in front of the door still exist? I don't know if the creek at the entrance of the village has dried up? and Li Goudan who always fought with him in the next village, I don't know if he is still alive......

Chen Xiao now not only has deep worries and sorrows in his heart, but also some homesickness after not returning home for a long time, anyway, he is in a trance all the way today, if it weren't for the road under his feet, he must not even want to raise his head!

When it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone smoothly entered the territory of F County, and just as everyone continued to march towards the Panlong Ridge in Chen Xiaokou's mouth, a figure suddenly appeared on the rugged mountain road in front of them, and it was only two or three hundred meters away from everyone.

Looking at this suddenly appeared figure, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, this place was only about thirty miles away from Chen Xiao's hometown, could it be that there was something wrong with it!

According to Chen Xiao's description, as long as you pass the Panlong Ridge in front, you will arrive at Chen Xiao's hometown Panlong Town! Don't have any more surprises! Otherwise, you won't be able to get to his house before dark......

After the figure in the distance walked forward for dozens of meters, he also saw Chen Xiao and others in front of him, and couldn't help but hesitate to stop.

But after the figure immediately glanced at the back of his body, he involuntarily trembled, and at the same time he made up his mind.

Although the figure was still a little panicked, he still stubbornly walked towards Chen Xiao and the others, as if there was a man-eating beast chasing him behind him, and he looked like he had no choice but to do so.

Chen Xiao and the others watched the figure walk step by step towards their location, although their faces were surprised, but when they saw that the other party was just single-handed, they didn't particularly care, and then saw that they and the others were in the necessary place on the mountain road, and then they were relieved and waited silently.

"Who are you and why do you look panicked? It can't be that you have done something unseemly! As soon as Guo Zirong saw the figure walk seven or eight meters in front of everyone and stopped, he scolded coldly.

I saw that the figure in front of me was short, less than 1.7 meters tall, but it was extremely round, which belonged to the typical horizontal development.

Although his figure is also fat, he is still a little stretched compared to the little fat man, but he is relatively fat compared to a person of the same size, in fact, it is only one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, this figure is wearing a yellow half-sleeved T-shirt, gray-brown cropped pants, and is looking at everyone vigilantly at this time, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.

"Don't get me wrong, my name is Zhang Erdan, I am from Panlong Town, because there are villains who have bullied me, so I fled in a hurry, and I also ask a few big brothers and sisters to make it convenient, don't embarrass the little brother!" When the figure heard Xiao Guo's scolding, he couldn't help but panic, and after bowing to Xiao Guo helplessly, he pleaded with a slight trembling tone.

"Oh, you're from Panlong Town? I don't know if you know our brother Xiao, what's the situation there now? As soon as the little fat man heard the figure's reply, he suddenly became interested, and after pointing to Chen Xiao who was pondering beside him with his right hand, he asked lukewarmly.

"Brother Xiao? You are...... Chen Xiao? Are you really Chen Xiao? That Chen Xiao in Chen Zhuang? Chen Xiao...... Brother Xiao, is it really you? It's been a few years, do you still know me? I'm the second egg in Jinqiao Village! We used to catch fish together! ”

After the short and fat figure followed the gesture of the little fat man and glanced at Chen Xiao, his brain suddenly became blank like a lightning strike, and when he reacted, he looked at it carefully for a long time before he shouted suspiciously, looking incoherent.

"What? Two eggs? The second egg in Jinqiao Village? Is it really you? You're alive! ”

Chen Xiao had been thinking about his thoughts, but after seeing that there was just a figure coming over on the other side, he didn't pay much attention to it, but handed it over to Xiao Guo and them to deal with......
