Chapter 24: Conflict and ......

readx; The conflict lasted for a split second, and Winter's resoluteness quickly brought it to an end. By www.biquge.info time Blair and Mountain recovered from their shock and grief on the cliff and realized what seemed to be happening on the other side, Winter had put the conflict to rest.

"Anyway, let's put down the negativity first, there is still a way to go."

"Yes, since the first year I joined the security team, I have seen life and death, this is ...... Tut. ”

The two big men said plain words, deliberately hiding the sadness in their hearts, but a strong sense of solemnity spread between the two.

“……”

“……”

"Anyway, let's think about how to get over first, the rope has fallen, and the blasted stones are on the other side, and it is obviously unrealistic to pull a new zipline from this side."

The mountain sighed and looked up at the abyss seven or eight people wide between the other side and this side, and what had happened a moment ago was still vivid, like a terrifying story echoing in his ears.

"What's more, in a short period of time...... I don't think I'm afraid to go from the heights. ”

"Hmm......" Blair nodded mechanically, his eyes glazed over, "I think...... Mountain, you talk like this, very similar to Team Leader Garcia......"

“……”

“……”

Then the two men fell silent again.

"That's enough."

In the end, it was Shan's determination that was higher, and he shook his head violently, putting all these inappropriate thoughts and emotions out of his mind, and then patted Blair on the shoulder,

"If you insist on saying that, I wouldn't mind punching you twice in the face."

"Hoo ......"

Blair exhaled violently, rubbing his face vigorously to get himself out of his abnormal state as quickly as possible.

"I understand."

"Something seems to be happening on the other side."

The mountain suddenly looked at the other side, and the voice on the other side gradually became louder.

Blair followed the mountain's gaze and saw the scene of the black man Bobby knocking Victor unconscious.

"What kind of commotion seems to have happened?"

Mountain frowned,

"When is it still a mental riot...... Feed! Opposite! What happened?! ”

Shan suddenly raised his voice and shouted in that direction.

"Nothing! It's been solved. ”

Then there was a friendly voice from Winter.

"The stone cliffs here are no longer here! Or why don't you both swim from the river below? The goods are also on our side. ”

So Blair and Mountain looked at each other, nodded, and headed downstream.

It took an hour to walk up the cliff, but it took less than half an hour to walk back. Of course, there is a reason why there is no need to transport goods, but the biggest reason is that the sudden fall of Mr. Sean and Garcia and Raymond makes them feel anxious, and when they walk, they all breathe a sigh of relief, let go of their steps and almost run.

After swimming past the flooded camp of the Source River, the two men saw Mr. Winter descend the slope with a caravan of men. Promoted from being a member of the same rank as the caravan to the new leader of the caravan, Winter is still pulling the trailer with the others. Blair and Mountain saw Winter to the left of the lever of the first car, and on the right hand was the big dark-skinned man whose name Blair remembered was Poppy.

The four trailers were quickly towed from the slope to a gentle clearing. So the group of people who converged once again embarked on the unfinished journey.

"I remember your name was Winter?"

Mountain looked contemplatively at Mr. Winter.

"It's Winter Kaos, just call me Winter."

Winter wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed.

"Mr. Sean had full authority to assign me to act as the leader of the caravan in case of emergency, so now I am the temporary leader of the caravan."

"Hmmm......"

Mountain nodded,

"It's worthy of being an old man, thinking really far-reaching."

"Let's follow you, we are also laymen in this kind of thing."

Blair stepped forward and patted Winter on the shoulder, swapping Winter out of the back of the trailer's lever.

"I'll pull the trailer, and you lead the way."

"Yes, okay."

Wen nodded and let go of his grip on the lever.

So Blair pulled up the car lightly. The big black man felt that his hands were empty all of a sudden.

"Uh...... Man, what do I do then? ”

Bobby gripped the air and looked up at the big guy who had gathered the lever above his head.

"Wow...... Such a light car, you can go out too, I'll be alone. ”

“……”

The caravan pulled the cart and moved unhurriedly on the slope. I have to say that Winter's knowledge is still a lot worse than Sean's, but it is more than enough to deal with normal walking.

After surveying the terrain and road signs, finding the right route, and avoiding possible dangers, the caravan walked peacefully for half a day under the leadership of Winter. I found a camp, rested for a while, and then continued walking.

Another half day, a second camp.

It is a natural three-way place covered by three stone walls, and it looks like a notched cloth pocket, with the mouth of the pocket coming from it, and the two different paths being the broken part of the bottom of the pocket, leading to an unknown place.

"Pocket Camp."

Winter stopped himself and said to the people behind him,

"After this camp, we will only have a day to go from the town of Yingxi, and the road will be much easier than before. Let's rest, let's cook something and sleep here tonight. ”

Everyone responded to the sound, put down the trailer one after another, and began to camp. The former shed of the pocket camp against the stone wall was not destroyed by passing ground spiders like the spider camp, but stayed on the ground. So the caravan camped a lot less work, and the tent was randomly tinkered with, and the reinforcement was rested.

The pot was quickly set up, and the aroma of food soon lingered throughout the camp.

The group sat on the ground, talking to each other, just like in the previous camp. It's just that there are three fewer people in the team, and no one is happy, so there are no jokes that make fun of the atmosphere and laughter that enlivens the atmosphere.

Winter sat in front of the stove, shaking the power pole to heat the boiler, and the squeaky shaking sound was a little harsh in the dreary atmosphere.

"Let's all tell some jokes, just sitting like this is not in a good mood for everyone."

I don't know who in the crowd said that.

"What can you say? Saying that Poppy's skin is as black as the dirt of water? Two or three things about the big wave nurse in Yingxi Town and seven men? …… You see, even if I say that, how would everyone react? ”

Another sentence, but this sentence comes from the comic star between everyone on weekdays, the mouth of a bastard boy whose strength is not outstanding.

"Maybe you can talk about how funny the old man's heroic appearance when he fell off the cliff, and how unworthy of the name of the two people who fell into the abyss of the security team."

With a cold voice, everyone turned their heads to look, but saw Victor with a cold face. The man with the national character face had a mocking smile on his lips,

"At this time, there is no one who can still think of joking and livening up the atmosphere. What did Mr. Sean do to us when he was alive, and can he still joke at this time? ”

"Victor! Don't get me wrong! I'm not kidding! ”

The little man who had just spoken suddenly jumped up, his face furious.

"How the did I misunderstand! A group of bitches, you can continue to rush calmly at this time! Isn't it ashamed! ”

"If you don't hurry, do you just sit on the rock cliff and wait!? Or do you split up and dig three feet into the ground at the bottom of the cliff to find the old man and their corpse!? ”

"Of course we'll have to go down and find the body! If you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die! What if they don't die, old man! What if they're still alive! You know you're going to kill them! ”

"Victor!"

Winter stopped what he was doing,

"Do You Know ......"

"Shut up! You bastard with a mother and no mother! ”

“…… Bobby, tell him to be quiet and listen to me. ”

So the big black man kicked it again, kicking Victor to the ground. Victor coughed violently.

"Ahem, ahem, you ...... Wolf's heart and dog's lungs ......"

"Alas...... Victor, let me ask you, what is the first rule of the slope trader? ”

"Listen to the leader's instructions at all times and in all places! Hehe, don't think about it, I admit that you are the team leader! ”

"Wrong, no matter when and where, you must not stop moving."

"Phew, excuses!"

"Hehe, you don't know how many people your decisions would kill if I really were like you. Stop downstream to find the old man and the two little ones? Then I ask you, what should I do if the source river is suddenly diverted again? What should I do if the others get lost again? What should I do if I suddenly encounter a mutant attack? Have you thought about questions like that? ”

"Hehe, excuses, all excuses! How is it possible for the source river to be diverted again in a short period of time? How can someone get lost again with a little more people scoring points per team? Mutants have nothing to fucking do as a whole to attack us? I just don't want to do it! **The birds and beasts are not as good as the East ......"

"Boom-"

Another kick, and Poppy kicked Victor in the stomach again.

"Bobby! Forget it, I can't understand it with a brainless person like him...... Save your strength for a while and stand guard and patrol. ”

"Hmm."

The black man replied and stopped.

"Alas......"

There was a soft sigh from the boiler, and Winter shook the pole again.

The water in the pot slowly boiled. The smell of the food escapes.

"Eat, rest after eating, and continue on your way tomorrow."

Winter said this, and began to hand out dishes and food.

On the side of the crowd, Blair and the mountain sat opposite each other,

"Are you going to dinner?"

Hill asked Blair.

"Let's go when they're done, and we'll be quiet for a while."

Blair said.

"Hmm."

Mountain nodded.

"Actually, Victor is right, we should probably look under the cliff."

"Oh? Looking for what? Corpses? ”

The mountain does not change color.

“…… Or maybe it's a living person? ”

Blair frowned.

"Can you swim for an hour?"

The mountain continues to speak very blandly.

"Can't ......"

Blair shook his head.

"So it's too low." Shan smiled bitterly, "That guy would not think of people like us who thought of it?" If you really go down to find it, it is absolutely impossible to gain anything substantial. ”

“…… At least for psychological comfort. ”

“…… The only thing that can be tried is psychological comfort, isn't it? ”

“……”

“……”

The two of them fell silent, and simply looked in the direction of the boiler together, watching the people in the caravan eat fish porridge in a dull atmosphere.

Blair's ears suddenly moved slightly.

"Mountain, did you hear anything?"

"Nope."

"Yes, I just heard something...... There is still a present. ”

Blair frowned sideways into his ears.

"You're hallucinating, aren't you...... Why didn't I ...... Wait, I want to hear something. ”

"In ......"

"Over there."

The two looked at each other and nodded silently.

"It's like the sound of something moving. There's something like dragging the ground. ”

"I feel that way, too."

“…… Variants? ”

Blair's brow furrowed even tighter.

"I don't know, it may be a person from Yingxi Town who went out, after all, this place is also close to Yingxi Town...... Anyway, cheer everyone up, there's something coming over. ”

"Cheer up! Something came from the fork in the road on our left! ”

The mountain then raised his voice and shouted in the direction of the caravan.

So everyone's eyes "brushed" to the fork in the mountain.

The fork in the road is pitch black.

Oh, no, there is light coming from within.

It is the light of the flashlight.

"What's that place over there?"

Poppy turned her head and whispered to Winter, who was staring at the light in a daze.

"The impression is of a small village called Smail...... But it's long since it was abandoned......"

"Mr. Sean?!"

Suddenly, I don't know who screamed like that.
