Chapter 15: The Dilemma

"Since you always say that the camp is difficult to maintain and there is no hope of a counterattack, why don't you evacuate? ”

Regarding Mino's question, the old man raised the flask and took a sip, shaking his head helplessly.

"Young man, do you think that we are all stupid people and can't think of this? How is it possible, from the first day of hiding, we tried to escape outside, first from the ground, but every time we went out, we lost our troops, and after burying more than a dozen young soldiers, we tried to escape from the ground. ”

"But that bastard in Memphis actually laid an enchantment with the help of the devil's power, and the enchantment is not very strong, and it is no problem to escape, but it will be marked by the devil's power, and if you can't escape far, you will be caught and killed by the living dead, so you will give up this thought, and hide in this sewer with peace of mind. ”

After saying that, the old man sighed again, and his sigh was full of worry and helplessness about the current situation.

For the old man's sigh, Minow, who has faced the ferocity of the living dead, is also concerned, but what should be said still has to be said.

"Although this sewer is indeed complicated, but there are so many living dead in the town, it should be searched for more than ten days, I heard you always say that there are many women and children in this camp, I'm afraid I can't hold on to it now. ”

Although Mino felt that the strong old man had no reason to deceive him, he still couldn't help but ask his doubts, after all, Mino was also unlucky and afraid during this time, for fear of encountering some conspiracy traps again.

"Young man, I said don't think too much. This old man is also a good person, he can see Mino's thoughts at a glance, and he patted Mino's shoulder twice, and his hand was so strong that Mino's pain was sold, and he said solemnly: "Although our people in Sword Furnace Town are now down, they have not yet reached the point of selling their life-saving benefactors to survive." ”

Fortunately, Mino's kindness to save people was indeed big enough, so although the old man stopped laughing, he didn't get angry at Mino, and it was over after two slaps, and then patiently explained to Mino:

"But I don't blame you, it's true that the difference between before and after is too big, if it weren't for the fact that the living dead are basically brainless when they don't rely on residual memories to disguise, and the bastard in Memphis doesn't know what to do, and he hasn't brought those living dead to chase him underground once after laying down the barrier, we really can't hold on to now, let alone rescue you surviving outsiders to increase our strength." ”

Although there are still many unclear points in these words, Mino also knows that if he repeatedly picks on the thorns, he will only consume all the kindness of saving people, and he will have to rely on these survivors to find a way to survive and escape, so it is not too unwise to make a little affection, so he will not speak again.

Mino stopped talking, the old man had the heart to ask Mino to help treat other patients who were not seriously injured and dying, but seeing Mino's dizziness with a broken leg, he was not too embarrassed to say it, and he couldn't find a new topic for a while, the scene fell a little silent for a while, and the old man got up and wanted to leave after comforting Mino to recover from his injuries.

Before leaving, seeing Mino's somewhat pale face, the old man thought about it, took out his wine jug and threw it at Mino.

"What are you doing here, old man? I'm not fit to drink. ”

Taking the wine jug thrown by the old man with one hand, Mino shook it in his ear, listened to the sound of water inside, and asked quite puzzled.

"Old man, I have lived for so many years, how can I not know this, tell you to drink it! Drink it to heal your wounds, there are still many people in this camp waiting for you to treat." ”

Although the words were harsh, the play and ridicule between the eyebrows could be seen by everyone, and after destroying the bold impression left before, the old man turned around and left, leaving only Mino holding the wine jug with a stunned face.

"Well, the elder doesn't dare to quit. After muttering, Mino unplugged and took a sip, and the expression on his face suddenly became subtle.

Savoring the clear water in his mouth that didn't smell of wine, Mino recalled the old man's painful drinking before, and it was really difficult to hold back the urge to laugh.

After a long while, Mino shook his head with a smile, then raised his head and drank the water in the pot, and shouted: Good wine!

At this time, the old man had not gone far, and when he heard this sentence in his ears, he immediately burst out laughing.

......

It is said that it will take 100 days to break the muscles and bones, but that is completely dependent on its own recovery ability, and it is a little inapplicable to Mino's body.

Mino, who had recovered after sleeping with his head covered, began to use the recovery magic on his injured leg, although because of the low level and not a full-time priest, it really played a big role in the recovery of his injury, plus the help of the expensive ointment, it was only two or three days, and he could walk on the ground.

After going to the ground, Mino finally had the opportunity to see the survivor camp he was in, and finally saw how difficult it was to survive in the mouth of the old man who forgot to ask his name.

Although it is a camp, in fact, there are no basic camp conditions, except for some simple beds made of bloodstained clothes for those little babies, not to mention the quilts in the whole camp, even there is not a single dry grass, and all the people are lying on the ground and sleeping with clothes.

There is only one iron pot for boiling water for cooking, and the only small pot has to feed hundreds of people, and the difficulties can be imagined.

There are many other problems, but the most difficult one is the problem of food.

As the old man said, most of the people in the whole camp were women and children, more than 300 people, except for more than 80 occupations, and there was no use for rushing up to snatch food and send them to death, so all people's rations had to be found in this sewer where no one wanted to go down in the past.

If it weren't for the fact that this sewer was built next to a cave, there were many places where you could risk catching some underground river fish and underground monsters, and the few mushrooms that grew in the sewer would probably not be enough.

But where are these underground creatures easy to catch by a group of people on the ground, everyone has worked hard for a busy day, and it is only enough to eat half full, and there is also the danger of injury, if it weren't for the injuries caused by these underground monsters that would not be accompanied by the abyss breath that makes the injuries unrecoverable, I am afraid that even the only source of food would be cut off.

Seeing this, even though he knew that this would be bad for him, Mino still took out all the food in the storage ring and distributed it.

It's a pity that the storage ring is too small, and this bit of food is just a taste of freshness, except for Mino's some gratitude, it is useless.

From this, we can see the danger of the situation and the difficulty of this situation. (To be continued.) )
