The sun had set, and the wind was gradually picking up on the grassland, Hua Zhenxing stopped and looked at the surrounding environment: "It's time to rest, we'll camp here tonight." ”

The camp he chose was a relatively sheltered place, and the grass nearby was not high, and Hua Zhenxing also deliberately cleaned it up. Rochard also unloaded his backpack to help, and asked as he worked, "Would you like to get more branches and light a few campfires?" ”

Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "If you want to die, try it." ”

Rochard: "How can you keep out wild beasts without lighting a campfire?" ”

Hua Zhenxing turned his head to look at him and said, "If you live in a cave, you can still keep warm and strengthen your courage by lighting a fire at the entrance of the cave, but lighting a fire on this grassland can prevent wild beasts?" Not to mention that there is wind at night, if the sparks blow out, they will burn the surroundings if they are not careful, and we are on the run, so lighting a fire at night is simply not too eye-catching! ”

Rochard: "Oh, then don't light the fire." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "With the bright light, all kinds of flying insects will come over, do you know how many kinds of insects here will suck human blood?" ”

Rochard nodded and said, "I understand, there are too many diseases here that are transmitted by mosquitoes, do you bring insect repellent spray?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I have ointment, you can apply some later, let's set up a tent first." ”

Hua Zhenxing's tent was inserted on the side of the long strip-shaped backpack, rolled up to form a two-foot-long barrel, which was also prepared for him by Mo Shangtong. I don't know what the material of the tent is, it is very light and strong, with elasticity, even with Hua Zhenxing's hand strength is constantly broken, the tent cloth is still camouflage, it looks very thin, but ordinary people can't cut it with a knife.

It looks like a portable travel tent that barely fits two adults side by side, which would be perfect for a couple, otherwise sleeping would be a bit cramped, but it's not insurmountable. Hua Zhenxing picked up the water cup inserted on the other side of the backpack, unscrewed the lid and gave it to Rochard as a cup.

The two of them had to walk on the wasteland for three days, and this glass of water was certainly not enough, but fortunately, when they abandoned the car, they also took a large barrel of mineral water filled with five liters. Rochad walked in a hurry, his backpack full of materials and important personal belongings, and he had not taken anything else necessary to walk through the wilderness except for a temporary pistol, and he had not expected to take this road beforehand.

Hua Zhenxing took out the dry food and handed it over: "Doctor Luo, it's inconvenient to make a fire, it's best not to heat things, otherwise the smell of food wafts out and I don't know what beasts will be attracted, just eat some dry food." ”

Rochardt tore open the soapy dry food package and took a bite of water, looking a little surprised: "Is this a marching ration?" It's not as unpalatable as I thought, and the taste is pretty good. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "This is indeed the military emergency ration of the Eastern Kingdom, the earliest one is not very tasty, it has been improved many times, and the one you eat is tomato beef and pea flavor." ”

"What is this round, the legendary Mighty Pill of the Eastern Kingdom?"

"Well, this isn't a strong pill, it's a Bigu pill prepared for me by an elder...... Yin, Lanxi, and Panya don't have this word, so you should think it's also a kind of marching dry food. Dr. Luo knows Dongguo very well, and he has even heard of Mighty Pills? ”

"I've only heard of it, I've never seen it, and I haven't seen anyone in the East who knows me."

"I haven't seen it, and I don't even know if there's anything like it."

Rochard said that the word "strong pill" was pronounced directly in Chinese. After the two of them finished eating the dry food, it was already dark, the starry sky on the grassland was particularly bright, and the outlines of the grass trees and hills in the distance could be seen dimly. Hua Zhenxing got up and said, "You hurry up and sleep for a while, I will wake you up in two hours, and we will take turns to keep vigil." ”

Hua Zhenxing took a piece of cloth from his baggage as a cushion and sat cross-legged outside the tent. The barrel of the rifle was removed again, but the bayonet was still attached like a short spear, stuck in the place where it could be pulled out at the side, and the pistol was placed beside him. His eyes were slightly closed, his posture was upright and relaxed, and he adjusted his breathing to gradually become inaudible, as if quietly blending into the night.

After about an hour and a half, Rogrid walked out. As soon as he moved in the tent, Hua Zhenxing opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, turned his head and asked, "It's not time yet, why don't you continue to sleep?" ”

Rochard sat down and lit a cigarette and said, "I'm already awake and a little sleepy." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Is there still smoke?" ”

Rochard handed over the cigarette case and lighter: "Do you smoke too?" That's not a good habit. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I don't smoke, it's just a little useful." ”

He took a dozen cigarettes, tore open the roll of paper and took out the tobacco, got up and scattered it seven or eight meters around the tent. Rochard looked at it curiously, as if this child was full of maze, and his every move was so special, and suddenly sniffed and said, "What kind of smell is this?" ”

Hua Zhenxing pointed to the ground next to him: "The incense I lit." There was a palm-sized copper box on the ground, and there were many small holes in the lid, so that the fire could not be seen from the outside, but there was a curling fragrance wafting out, and if he didn't warn him, it would not be easy to see under the starlight.

Roshand: "Is this the incense of the Eastern Kingdom?" It has a mosquito repellent effect, I don't see you have applied insect repellent ointment. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "This is the incense processed by Boss Yang, which should have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but the main effect is to calm the nerves." I don't apply ointment because mosquitoes don't like to bite me, and that's how I was a kid. He pursed his lips as he spoke, his lips curled together, and it felt like he had tasted something particularly bitter.

Old man Yang has a homemade drink, which is particularly bitter and cold, and after drinking, he has to move his whole body to make him sweat. Since he was a child, Old Man Yang has asked him to drink this kind of thing, which is said to avoid mosquito bites.

Old man Yang didn't lie to him about this, Hua Zhenxing has rarely been bitten by mosquitoes, and when he is with a group of people, mosquitoes and fleas will go to others. There are often various epidemics in the port of Africa, many of which are spread through mosquito bites, and Hua Zhen Hong has always been lucky enough to avoid them.

He also asked Old Man Yang, why can drinking a drink keep mosquitoes from biting? Old man Yang joked: "That's because your sweat is sour, your blood is stinky, and mosquitoes don't like it." ”

Of course, Hua Zhenxing knew that Old Man Yang was talking nonsense, and he never felt that he had a sour smell on his body. On the contrary, it is the locals like the Shire, who sweat and it is really touching. It seems that the effect of the drink is indeed good, but it is so bitter, so bitter that it makes people want to burst into foul mouth!

Fortunately, after the age of twelve, Hua Zhenxing drank less and more, at most he only drank that cup for a few months, and the effect could always be maintained, but every time before going to the wilderness, Old Man Yang would deliberately let him drink a cup. Before going out this time, without being reminded by Old Man Yang, he found out and drank a big cup by himself.

It was difficult to explain these things to Dr. Luo in a few words, and Rochard's eyes became even more curious when he looked at him, and suddenly asked again: "Hua, have you ever killed someone before?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Why do you ask this?" ”

Rochard: "The four people in that jeep died so miserably that people didn't want to look at the second look after the first look, but you looked closely, and although their faces were very bad, they didn't have a very obvious stress reaction. I'm a doctor and I know that some reactions can't be controlled. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "You should know a little bit about my experience, I was picked up from the pile of the dead." Growing up in Fenso, I saw too many dead people, and there were all kinds of ways to die. ”

Roshand: "It's different, you killed those people with your own hands today. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Has Dr. Luo ever killed someone?" ”

Rogrid hurriedly shook his head: "No! I'm a doctor, I haven't killed anyone, I've only saved people. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "You didn't react too obviously. ”

Rohard: "I've seen a lot of these scenes, working as a doctor in Port Feso, it's very common. But you're different, you shoot too fast before you get in the car, it's a kind of subconscious muscle memory, I can see it. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "We've known each other for so long, when did you see that I had killed people before?" ”

Rochard: "Even today, I couldn't see it or think of it before. You're not like a lot of people here, you're just a likable kid, so I'm surprised. ”

Hua Zhenxing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he couldn't see it, Old Man Yang had warned him since he was a child, don't get angry because of killing, let alone develop a murderous heart, a person's temperament is sometimes very revealing. He was silent for a while before he spoke: "I encountered a very unexpected thing today, and suddenly remembered the lightning on the grassland, have you ever seen lightning?" ”

Rochard was confused and said, "Of course I've seen it, does this have anything to do with today's events?" ”

Hua Zhenxing's accident refers to the "Huanxiangguo mission system" that suddenly appeared in consciousness. And Rochard obviously misunderstood, thinking that he was being chased and killed. Hua Zhenxing couldn't explain too much, so he told a story about going to the grassland to see lightning-

Hua Zhenxing has a lot of doubts after being sensible, such as why is the port of Africa so chaotic? Obviously, as long as we work hard and stop hurting each other, everyone's life and the world will be better. But many people here are just idle, and they don't do their jobs.

Of course, he consulted Old Man Yang, and the old man took him to the grassland, not to see the lions or the wolves, but to see the lightning.

Old man Yang pointed to the lightning in the distance and said, "Things in the world, whether you want to accept it or not, are facts when they appear. Don't question its existence anymore, because it's already there, and you just have to try to figure out how it happened.

The people in the northern desert of the Black Wilderness Continent may have never seen lightning in their entire lives. When they come here and suddenly they see lightning, they wonder how there is such a thing in the world. It's impossible! But as long as it is something that has already appeared, there is no impossibility.

The ancients didn't understand lightning and thought it was the gods who were angry, but it didn't matter, as long as they knew that lightning could kill people, and on rainy days, they should not go to places that were easily struck by lightning. Observing the world always starts with the phenomenon and then to the rules, and after understanding the rules, you can also grasp the phenomenon, for example, modern people already know how to use electricity......"

Old man Yang's words are not an answer at all, but they are a bit tricky, and it is only a methodological education, but it is very effective for Hua Zhenxing. In Hua Zhenxing's growth experience, he has witnessed countless sinister and strange things, which seem to be something that should not have happened, but it happened.

There is nothing in this world that cannot be explained, but you can't explain it, and if you think it's not scientific, it only proves that your scientific level is not enough! For example, Hua Zhenxing encountered a strange "system" today. Of course, he didn't tell Rogrid about the "system", but only told the story of watching lightning.

Rochard asked a little puzzled: "What does this have to do with the fact that you have killed someone?" ”

Hua Zhenxing's tone changed: "It was that time when I went to see lightning, and on the way back, we met a group of poachers. They drove a car like yours, with a cargo bed full of ivory, and they turned a corner from behind a hill and met us head-on, and without saying a word, they just opened fire......"
