Chapter 63: The Never-Ending Night
Even in the era of highly developed science and technology that Mu Bai lived in before.
Nature's natural might is still unpredictable, and the losses in the face of every major disaster are not small.
Not to mention that it is now in a near-primitive state.
Weak human beings, with the situation of tribes, live scattered in the vast plains, and rarely interact with each other.
There is no such thing as organizing and uniting to fight the disaster and provide relief.
If something does happen, it will have to be carried by the affected groups themselves.
What worries Mu Bai even more is that.
She knew some of the reasons for the formation of hot springs.
Not far from the cave where they lived, the hot springs were located.
If there is a volcano hidden here that could erupt at any time, the consequences are unimaginable!
But as long as there is a little way, Mu Bai will strongly advocate the relocation of the new camp.
But at this time, it was not only freezing outside, but also so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
If, for the sake of an uncertain possibility, they rashly leave the cave that can shelter them from the wind and snow and barely live in, they will face more uncontrollable risks outside.
The danger is even greater.
Obviously, Mang and Mu Bai had the same thoughts, and the two tacitly glanced at both sides, but they were silent, and did not explain the matter of the Black Wind Tide to the tribesmen in further detail.
It's not that they deliberately hide it and refuse to say it. It's that there is no way to tell everyone about the possible dangers at this time.
After all, no one has experienced it, and they don't know what kind of disaster will happen.
There is no way to prevent it in advance, and speaking out rashly is not only useless, but may only cause panic among the clansmen.
However, Mu Bai still suggested.
Distribute some of the food and water stored in the cave and ask everyone to bring it with them.
The prevention is that when the disaster really comes, we can't be unprepared.
With food and water, even if you are suddenly separated from your people, you can barely survive a few days without starving or thirst, and maybe wait for rescue.
Mang nodded, and handed over the distribution of food to Oishi.
"Wu, isn't it actually terrifying that the Black Wind Trend is actually terrifying?"
From Mang and Wu's decision, Wu Yuan still sensed an unusual aura.
Looking at Mang's cold face, she finally dared to ask Mu Bai for confirmation.
"None of us have experienced the Black Wind, and the only thing we know is that Mang heard it by chance from the old leader."
Mu Bai sighed.
It's very uncomfortable to feel the pressure in my heart.
Looking at the cat lady who suddenly became very calm, she suddenly had the desire to speak.
What could happen next is too big.
She has grown up to such a big time, why is she not worried?
This is a 'world' that has never been seen before.
"Maybe the wind will be calm, and when the day dawns and everything will be fine, everyone will be safe; But maybe there will be mountains shaking and rocks rolling down, no one can say. ”
"Of course, I hope it's better to just have an unusual wind and just blow for a while."
"But in case of a landslide and a crack, some people are separated from everyone, bring some food and water with you, and you can hold on for a few more days and wait for everyone to save you."
After Mu Bai finished speaking, he looked at Wu Yuan, who was silent, and suddenly felt a little worried.
Wu Yuan just looks tall and big, but he is actually a little younger than her.
If it really frightens people, how can she comfort them?
"Okay, I got it."
After being silent for a while, Wu Yuan raised his head violently, his eyes were very resolute, and he didn't look like he was frightened.
"Don't worry, I'll always be with you." Wu Yuan, who got up and left, suddenly turned his head again, and quickly came back and gave Mu Bai a hug.
After whispering a promise in her ear, he let her go.
With a light smile on his face, he returned to his former liveliness.
"Then I'm going to help now!"
Mu Bai watched in a daze as Wu Yuan turned around and ran to Dashi, watching her help distribute food and comfort the children.
Although she is still innocent and lively, she can still feel the changes, as if she has grown up all of a sudden!
Mu Bai didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The warm embrace was gone, but there seemed to be an echo in my ears, repeating Wu Yuan's words that she would always be with her.
Mu Bai's hanging heart suddenly became steady.
It has always existed in her heart, and the loneliness of being the only one in the world has dissipated a lot.
Isn't it just a black trend, isn't it not here yet?
If you want to die, there are people with you, and she is not alone, what is there to be afraid of!
……
Although Mu Bai has been cheering himself up like this in his heart.
But facing an unknown future and waiting for suffering, this is not an easy task.
And the black tide is fierce.
Since that day, the sky has not been lit again.
With the roar of a fierce wind, the world seemed to have been torn apart.
In the past, when I looked at the wide cave, it was like a flat boat floating on the lonely sea.
I don't know when a storm will hit and there will be no bones.
The tribesmen in the cave were curious about this special weather that they had never seen before.
But as the darkness shrouded day by day, and the wind howling outside, I couldn't sleep at all, and my mood became more and more depressed.
There wasn't much firewood stored in the cave, but it wasn't known when the Black Storm would end.
Mang had to give orders to seal up several fire pits.
In these days when the black wind tide comes, the temperature is getting lower and lower.
Now Mu Bai nests in his own grass nest, and he can see clusters of frost flowers condensed on the grass curtain.
Not to mention the stone walls of the cave, which have long been covered with a layer of smooth ice.
Even if a person is roasting around the fire, he can see a white mist coming out of his mouth when he opens his mouth to speak.
There were several times when Mu Bai woke up groggily in the darkness of day and night.
I'm not sure if I'll wake up next time.
Every day she marked the earth with stones to determine the date.
But more than half a month has passed, the wind is still wailing outside, and the world seems to have fallen into eternal night, and it looks like it will never come in vain.
Many of the cubs in the tribe had forgotten what dawn was like.
Mu Bai often laughed at himself, and the landslides and ground cracks that followed the black wind were completely useless.
This never-ending night alone was on the verge of breaking her.
Even if other good shows are played, there will be no audience to appreciate them.
"Wake up, wake up!"
Mu Bai fell asleep, and she had a dream.
In the dream, it is daytime, and there is the sun.
But it's also bitterly cold.
She dreamed that she failed the college entrance examination, and was first ridiculed by her father and mother's half-siblings.
Then her father and mother told her that she was an adult and had no obligation to raise her, so she should dissolve all relations, and don't mention her daughter to the outside in the future, they can't afford to lose that person!
Mu Bai knew that he was dreaming.
He was very presumptuous, crying like when he was a child.
Begging his mom and dad not to leave him.
Again, to no avail.
