Chapter 8: Beauty and the Beast

Wind and sand ruthlessly ravaged the earth, in the face of the majesty of nature, the strength of any individual is small, although the orcs are powerful, but after encountering the sandstorm, they still seem so helpless. At this time, the orc and Gria were walking in the sandstorm with difficulty, no, strictly speaking, the orc walked alone in the sandstorm, and Gria's whole person was almost completely held in his arms, and then wrapped tightly in the broken cloak.

Gria knew by this time that orcs could not understand her own language, so she did not try to speak to him again, but just hugged his strong body tightly and buried her head deep in his chest. Although he is so ugly that he can't even be considered human, in the post-apocalyptic world, leaning on his chest is like a fishing boat returning to the harbor, so safe.

Suddenly, the orc's eyes lit up, and he saw a small house looming in front of him, and he hurriedly quickened his pace and ran forward, and before long, he was standing in front of the house. It is a house made of mud, which is common on the edge of the desert of the Middle East, where there is a perennial drought and lack of rainfall. It's just that this door is a little shorter, and it took him a lot of effort to get in, the house is not very big, only about 20 square meters, and the height of two meters makes him have to bend over all the time inside.

The orc's excellent night vision allowed him to see everything around him even in the darkest of environments, and the interior of the house was very simple, and the furnishings inside showed that the original owner was not particularly wealthy. A makeshift cooktop, a bed, a makeshift cabinet and a couple of jars, and then there was nothing. The orc was so tired from bending over that he found an empty place to sit down, while Gria, who couldn't see anything, could only snuggle up to him like a helpless lamb.

Perhaps sensing Grea's fear, the orc pulled through the cabinet in the corner, broke it into a pile of wood, then pulled a blanket over the bed, lit it, and soon a campfire was raised.

The appearance of the firelight finally quieted Grea, and she, who had been hiding in the arms of the orc and shivering slightly, gently left his embrace and looked around curiously. Suddenly, she screamed "ah", and the whole person retracted into the arms of the half-orc again, hugging him tightly, which was the tiger's waist that could not be hugged with both hands, and the fierce fear made her tremble.

Following her gaze just now, the orc turned his eyes and saw that there was a corpse lying on the bed, and he didn't pay attention to the blanket covering the corpse just now, just now he pulled the blanket over and lit it on fire, and now the corpse was completely exposed. The whole body of the corpse had been air-dried, like a dried corpse, and the dark muscles without a trace of moisture were shriveled and attached to the body, like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin. What scared Gria was the appearance of the corpse, the two eyeballs were strangely bulging out of the eye sockets, the eyeballs lacking moisture were a strange white color, and the eyeballs were completely invisible, the corpse's mouth was wide open, its teeth were mutilated, and its face was a little hideous, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot when he died.

The orc raised his body slightly, and threw the body of the dried corpse out the door, and when he was done, he gently patted Gria in his arms, indicating that there was no danger.

Gria looked up cautiously, peeked in the direction of the bed with her eyes slightly open, and when she found that the body was gone, she looked around and made sure that there was nothing to scare her, and she became active in an instant.

The orc was silent, took out an unknown beast from a small bag behind him, dealt with it, and put it on the fire and began to grill. Perhaps feeling that it was too boring to talk to herself alone, Gria trotted over to the orc, took his hand, and asked in a playful voice, "What's your name?" ”

The half-orc looked at Gria suspiciously, and finally came back to his senses after a while, he hesitated, and slowly said, "Li ...... House...... Qi. He didn't know why he called it that way, but when he wanted to say it, it popped into his mind, as if he should have called it.

"Stand ...... Fish...... Qi? Grea imitated Li Yuqi's voice and repeated it suspiciously.

"Li Yuqi." Li Yuqi corrected it word by word, and when he said his name for the second time, he was obviously much more fluent.

"Li Yuqi?" Finally knowing his name, Grea smiled happily, her mood was obviously much better, the shadow of her mother's tragic death during the day was instantly diluted a lot, she began to happily tell Li Yuqi about her past, and after the apocalypse, she and her mother lived alone, regardless of whether Li Yuqi could understand her words or not. She is so lonely, her mother has just died, and she is insecure, Li Yuqi is her only support, the only person she can trust unconditionally.

After the meat was roasted, the two of them ate a little each, and then they snuggled up to each other and fell asleep.

The next morning, when a giant foot stepped the burnt bonfire into the mud, the mountain turned back to Vincent and said, "My lord, it seems that they have been walking for some time, and we are a step too late. ”

Vincent casually looked at the environment inside the house and said softly, "It's okay, let them run, you can find them in 3 days at most." ”

Ye Feiruo on the side asked like a curious baby: "Adult, why can you catch them in three days?" By the way, why them? Isn't it a person? ”

Vincent glanced at her, he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, Dashan smiled when he heard it, this feeling, just like when he was still following the gunpowder, he always followed the gunpowder and asked questions, and at that time he was not less affected by the white eyes of the scorpion. Since he was his subordinate, it was naturally necessary for him to take her well, so he said: "First of all, you look at the traces on the ground, there are two large, one small and one large, obviously two people have stayed, and the bones on the ground are divided into two piles, which are obviously eaten by two people. As for why the adults said that they would catch up in three days, it was very simple, that half-orc didn't have much food with him, and we were chasing so tightly now, and there was nothing to eat nearby, so he didn't have that time to hunt at all. The food that he used to eat alone will now be divided between two people, and soon he will be physically exhausted, and it will not be difficult for us to catch up with him at that time. ”

Ye Feiruo pouted at Dashan, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, she was really speechless to herself as a captain, did she look so stupid? Do you have to explain it? How could he not see something that his stupid brain could see? She just wanted Vincent to say a few more words to her.
