Chapter 517: Where is the Road?
The scorching sun in the sky breathes heat wantonly,
The sand dunes on the ground are even more stunningly hot,
If you put a raw egg,
It is estimated that it will be cooked in a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the endless sea of sand, a group of soldiers with no end in sight were walking numbly, these soldiers had no formation to speak of, but subconsciously moved forward step by step. Almost all the soldiers threw away the heavy chain mail on their bodies, opened their thin underwear, and licked their chapped mouths from time to time.
But it's no wonder the soldiers,
for they are so thirsty,
Think about it!
What a tragedy it would be to have no water in the desert. The army of the Ironclad Country has been without water to drink for almost three days, and if it can't find a water source to replenish it, this army of 300,000 will be dying of thirst sooner or later. Of course, even if the soldiers die, the generals will be fine, because there is a spell team to open a small stove, and the hundreds of dream builder spell teams that follow the army will make enough clear water to sustain their lives. But the number of Dream Builders is still too small to produce enough clear water to keep the 300,000 army alive, unless this is no longer a place of luck and the power of the spell is not sealed, then the 300,000 army may survive.
Whew, whew!
A breeze blows,
Blowing away the heat,
makes people feel refreshed,
But no one cheered,
Instead, I was nervous.
Without even the need for their superiors to give orders, these scattered soldiers began to gather automatically, and skillfully began to set up improvised temporary stations. As soon as the station was built, the breeze turned into a yellow wind, mixed with the yellow sand, and the whole world turned into an earthy yellow. The soldiers, without the slightest surprise, leaned one by one, began to enter into a dream or began to talk in a low voice. The soldiers were not surprised, because they were used to it, and since they had been out of the valley, they had entered this damn sand, as if there was no end to it, and no matter which way they went, there were only endless sand dunes in front of them, as if they had been spinning in circles.
And this yellow wind and yellow sand in the sky,
It is a storm of terror that must come at a fixed time,
Yes, it's horror,
The yellow sand in the yellow wind is not simple,
It can't be viewed as common sense,
They're more terrifying than sharp knives,
Because many of the soldiers who escaped,
They all died under the yellow sand,
was stripped of the meat,
Only the bones remained.
"Uncle Dog, I don't want to die......" A deep voice sounded.
"I don't want to die either, no one wants to die......," someone next to him responded, but it was two soldiers. The person who spoke before was a teenager, and it could be seen from the small fluff under his nose that he was still a child who had not grown up, and the person who spoke behind him was a middle-aged man, and from his eyes full of vicissitudes, it could be seen that this was a man with a story. A teenager and a middle-aged man were so close together, the boy not only abandoned the chain mail on his body, etc., but even the weapon in his hand had long been lost, and he was just wearing an underwear that could not be seen. It's good to be middle-aged, although the chain mail on his body has also been lost, but he has always held a steel knife tightly in his hand, obviously this is a veteran who knows what is most important.
"Uncle Dog, I miss my mother, I miss the green onion cake she baked, the oil fragrance, the green onion flavor ......" The young man leaned on the middle-aged man, looked up at the earthy yellow sky, and said faintly in his mouth. From the young man's sloppy eyes, it can be seen that the young man is caught in memories, listening to the young man's affectionate words, obviously this is the best memory of the young man's short life.
"Baby, don't think about it too much, talking too much will waste unnecessary water. ”
The middle-aged man sighed in his heart.
"Uncle Dog, what does it matter? Do you think we can still get out?" the boy said disapprovingly, licking his chapped lips. The young man's words silenced the middle-aged, can he go out? Hehe, the desert that can't be seen at a glance, the opportunity to go out is illusory, not to mention that the army is now out of water, how long can people hold out without drinking water?
"Uncle Dog, tell me your story!"
The boy spoke again.
This time, the middle-aged man did not refuse, thought about it, and slowly said, "My family lives in Silver Moon City, it is a beautiful city, if you look at the moon in the sky from Silver Moon City, it will be more round and bigger than other places, so Silver Moon City has a special festival, Silver Moon Festival." On the day of the Silver Moon Festival, the moon in the sky will be brighter and larger, and it is said that it is the time when the Silver Moon Fairy looks at the world, so the people of Silver Moon City will offer gifts on that day and pray for the protection of the Silver Moon Fairy......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, middle-aged people couldn't stop,
has been talking about the goodness of his hometown,
With a smile on his face,
Full of sweetness.
"Uncle Dog, my family lives in Black Iron City, not far from your Silver Moon City. After the middle-aged man stopped talking, the young man followed up and said, "The reason why I came to serve as a soldier is so that my family can reduce a share of the tax, otherwise the family will not be able to open the pot." Actually, my family originally opened a shop, and the bullies in the city took a fancy to it, and they forced it to buy my shop, and the money given was not enough for our family to eat for a year, but who let the family know Lord Cheng Shou! This world really doesn't give us ...... to live."
Bell!
Suddenly a gong sounded,
This was followed by a shout.
"Send water! Send water! One person and a half pot of water, don't be strong, don't squeeze ......"
"Send water! Send water! One person and a half pot of water, don't be strong, don't squeeze ......"
"Send water! Send water! One person and a half pot of water, don't be strong, don't squeeze ......"
......
Boom! The whole camp blew up,
The soldiers are crazy.
The soldiers, who were originally thirsty and unable to walk, revived one by one with full blood in an instant, crowded towards the place where the gong was struck, and many of the frail were even squeezed to the ground, and a miserable stampede was about to be staged. Rows of bright spears were revealed, which made the originally restless soldiers suddenly calm down, and began to line up one by one as requested. When the soldiers lined up and walked to the front, they found that there was a pool made of mud on the sand, and the water was placed in the pool, which had already become a little muddy, but no one disliked it, and they all stared at the pool with their eyes. At the edge of the pool, in addition to the soldiers with spears to prevent looting, there were more than a dozen people each holding a water scoop and filling the kettle of each soldier who came forward.
These pools and clear water are naturally the masterpieces of the spell team, and in order to get these thousands of pools, the hundreds of dream builders of the spell team directly consumed all the yuan power. But there is no way, if the soldiers do not replenish a little water, then the army of 300,000 can only die of thirst.
"Get up, get up, it's time to go!"
"Get up, get up, it's time to go!"
"Get up, get up, it's time to go!"
......
In the midst of shouting and shouting,
One by one, the soldiers rubbed their eyes and stood up,
The yellow wind stopped at some point.
The soldiers who had long been accustomed to it were not surprised, because the yellow wind and yellow sand would still come. Some people began to dismantle the makeshift camp, others began to gnaw on dry food, but the water that was distributed yesterday would not have been willing to drink if it had not been choked on dry food. The teenager and middle-aged man who talked yesterday were naturally among them, and after hastily eating some dry food, the teenager and middle-aged man followed the army and began to set off, as for where the target is, but no one knows, even the dream builders of the Iron Cloak Sect don't know, but if they don't leave, will they not be able to wait for death?
The scorching sun in the sky is still spitting hot air wantonly,
The sand dunes on the ground are even more stunningly hot,
It's as if it were yesterday.
"Uncle Dog, can we go out?"
The boy asked again.
"Yes, we have water now!" the middle-aged man replied in the affirmative this time, patting the kettle on his waist and said. Obviously, the water gave the middle-aged a lot of courage, so that the self-confidence of this battle-hardened elite soldier returned, and crawled out of the sea of corpses again and again, and the middle-aged understood a simple truth, that is, the desire to survive can be turned into strength. Even though the last time he was middle-aged and hit seven arrows, the doctor had already determined that he would not survive the next day, but he still relied on his tenacious will to survive and came back from the ghost gate.
"Well, I'll definitely go out, I want to see my mother. ”
The teenager was infected.
There are many soldiers who have the same idea as the teenager, and the water supply has just been replenished, so that the soldiers are no longer so desperate, and one by one, the will to survive has been stimulated. This time, without the generals shouting, the soldiers automatically quickened their pace, wanting to get out of this damn desert sooner, and leave this place that makes people have nightmares just thinking about it.
・・・・・・
An hour later, the sun has been scorching,
The sand has been piping hot,
Hope did not come.
"Uncle Dog, can we go out?"
The boy asked again.
"Yes, surely!" the middle-aged man remained firm in his tone.
・・・・・・
After two hours, the sun did not change,
The sand hasn't changed,
The water in the kettle is reduced,
Even if you save it,
You have to drink it too.
"Uncle Dog, can we go out?"
The boy asked again.
"Yes, surely!" the middle-aged man's tone was still firm.
・・・・・・
Three hours later, the scorching sun in the sky did not mean to extinguish at all, and the rolling heat waves hit from time to time, even if the soldiers saved the water in the kettle, many people's kettles had bottomed out at this time. But nothing has changed, the desert is still the same desert, and the sand dunes as far as the eye can see, as if there is no end to it.
"Uncle Dog, can we go out?"
The boy asked again.
"Can ......" The middle-aged man's voice was a little muffled.
"Uncle Dog, where is the road?" the young man raised his confused eyes, as if asking middle-aged, as if asking himself, or asking God. No matter who the boy asked, there was no answer, only the scorching sun and the desert...... (To be continued.) )
