178 Chance encounter
Time flies, the night is quite peaceful, Li Ting has been holding on until the second half of the night, then she has sleepiness, lying on the leaves of the giant tree to sleep, during which there are also a few mutant animals passing by Li Ting and their temporary residence under the giant tree, but because it is really dim below, it is not clear to see, and the passing creatures did not find Li Ting and the two, so they are safe.
The sky is bright, the autumn has already turned cool, the morning dew is very heavy, the crystal dew condenses on the hair, eyelashes and clothes of the two, the sun refracts, the dew around the body flashes with colorful light, like a dream, in the bed-sized leaves as a paving, the two are like adults shrinking, into the legendary fantasy fairyland is the same.
Li Ting was directly woken up by freezing, the autumn night was already a little cold, and the small water droplets on her body couldn't stand it even for strong people, not to mention that they also had a serious illness called Guo Dunzi here.
Li Ting shook off the water droplets on her head, and wiped off the small water droplets stained on the small velvet line of her clothes, she still felt cold hands and feet, sat on the leaves and rubbed her hands and feet, and felt a little warmer after a while, so she climbed to the trunk of the tree and whispered to the leaves where Guo Dunzi was: "Brother Dunzi, Brother Dunzi, get up quickly, it's already dawn." ”
Guo Dunzi was sick and slept very deeply, Li Ting called several times in a row, Guo Dunzi woke up faintly, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Well, get up." "I tried to get up with one hand on the leaves, but because my body was extremely weak, I didn't succeed several times.
Li Ting chuckled psychologically, and saw that Guo Dunzi was wrong, in the past, even if Guo Dunzi had a fever, he would not be as weak as now, was it because the cold was too heavy yesterday, which caused him some serious sequelae?
Li Ting was worried, so she hurriedly climbed to the edge of the leaves where Guo Dunzi was, although the leaves were wide, there was only one petiole that supported the weight of the leaves, the two of them were too heavy, and the body of the tree was shaking, and she didn't dare to go too deep.
Guo Dunzi turned his head to look at Li Ting, Li Ting saw that Guo Dunzi's face was miserable and pale, and there was even a trace of black and blue in the white.
"Brother Dunzi, can you still hold on?" Li Ting's heart suddenly became as heavy as pressing a big stone, the old injury had not healed, and a new illness had been added, in this place where there was no village and no store, it really made her a little overwhelmed.
Guo Dunzi thought about it several times without success, and finally helplessly lay on the leaves and did not toss, knowing that he was terminally ill, he looked at Li Ting helplessly and smiled and said: "Li Ting, I guess I can't get out of this giant tree forest, or you can go first, look for the stone gate in the direction of the captain and them, you should be able to catch up with them." "To be a half-dead drag, the dignity of a soldier makes him recognize death.
"I don't!" Li Ting didn't want to think about it, and refused directly: "I won't leave you alone, or let's go back to the small courtyard, now that it's dawn, that obscene thing is estimated to have left, let's go back to the hut, I'm giving you some medicine, it's always good to raise a child, Brother Dunzi, don't be discouraged." ”
Guo Dunzi said weakly: "I can't stand up now, if the two of us go together, we will both die here, if the mutant beasts in the small courtyard don't leave, or if they go and come back, my body can't bear to toss like this, or leave me here, at least you can live." ”
"Don't say it, I don't agree, let's go! Li Ting climbed up the leaves where Guo Dunzi was staying in a few steps, and was about to forcibly pull Guo Dunzi down the tree to go back, because the leaves suddenly increased in weight, Li Ting moved quickly, and the leaves shook violently up and down violently, and Guo Dunzi, who was swaying straight, slid down two or three inches, Guo Dunzi said busily.
"Oh, my eldest sister, Ao! Where are you saving me, you're obviously going to fall to my death! Don't come up, can't I go down and go back to the courtyard with you?"
The leaves shook violently, Li Ting was actually quite scared, at this time Guo Dunzi compromised, Li Ting decisively retreated to the trunk, and said to Guo Dunzi: "Do you want me to throw you a rope and drag you down?"
"No, I'm not that weak. Guo Dunzi smiled bitterly, took out some compressed biscuits and ate them with wine, feeling some strength, so he climbed down the leaves with difficulty, and was pushed down the giant tree by Li Ting little by little.
At this time, it was still early, the sun had just risen above the ground, the leaves and grass were full of dewdrops, with the movements of the two, the water droplets wet the clothes and pants of the two, the autumn wind blew, and it was even more difficult to feel the cold hit the whole body, Li Ting stood under the tree and couldn't help but shiver, Guo Dunzi was even colder, he didn't have a fever now, but the low body temperature was scary, Li Ting helped him to do a good job under the tree, and said worriedly: "Brother Dunzi, your hands are cold, why don't I make a fire first, let's bake the fire, and wait for the body temperature to rise, let's go back?"
Guo Dunzi nodded, his cold teeth trembled, and his lips were purple and purple.
Li Ting moved quickly, and soon a bonfire slowly rose, because there were also water droplets on the hay that were relatively wet, and there was heavy black smoke on the bonfire, Li Ting couldn't care so much, so she hurriedly helped Guo Dunzi to sit by the bonfire and roast the fire, and took out a small stainless steel pot to collect dew and boil water on the bonfire.
Gradually, the moisture of the dry grass and branches evaporated, the fire burned more vigorously, the black smoke was much less, and the body temperature of Guo Dunzi and Li Ting also rose a lot, just waiting for the water in the pot to boil, and they could set off after giving Guo Dunzi the medicine.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of plucking leaves and stepping on dry grass in the distance, Li Ting pulled out her pistol alertly for a moment, pulled Guo Dunzi to hide behind a bush, her heart was pounding with fright, could it be that their movement was too big, what mutated creatures were attracted?
This is not easy to do, Guo Dunzi can only be regarded as a half-disabled person at this time, and Li Ting is a character who is not proficient in weapons and has useless abilities, if he encounters any powerful mutant beasts at this time, the two of them will be properly eaten and pulled out.
The sound got closer to the original, and the target was directly pointed at the bonfire where Li Ting and them were, Li Ting and Guo Dunzi didn't dare to breathe, squatting in the back of the look nervous, and quickly made a noise to push aside the grass, and walked out carefully, it turned out to be a group of young people wearing tattered clothes, thin cheeks, and dirty like beggars.
Li Ting squatted behind the grass, and saw a group of people through the cracks in the grass, and her pounding heart relaxed a lot, but there was still some nervousness, looking at the appearance of this group of people, it must be the people who didn't escape from S City when they came here, I don't know if my mother is here?
When Guo Dunzi saw that it was a group of people, he was immediately very happy, and he was about to go out to connect with these people, and by the way, he would listen to some news.
Who knew that Li Ting grabbed Guo Dunzi, still squatting behind the grass and shouting at the group: "Don't come here! Before the words fell, Li Ting stretched the pistol out of the grass for the newcomers to see clearly.
Li Ting's words were sudden, and a pistol really stretched out and aimed at them, where did these people dare to approach, they took a few steps back for a while, and crowded into a pile with the people behind them, and the scene was a little chaotic.
Seeing this, Guo Dunzi asked puzzledly: "Li Ting, what are you doing?" Guo Dunzi's face was much better because of the relationship between the wine and the flame, and his head was not so dull and uncomfortable. No matter before or after the end of the world, he has always been that glorious soldier, with the responsibility of protecting his family and defending the country, and the refugees are also within his protection.
"Be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship and see if they are the bad guys. Li Ting doesn't think that the people who survive in the giant tree forest have no special abilities, for such people, the best way is to suppress them from the beginning, so that even if they have the ability, they will not dare to act rashly, so that she and Guo Dunzi can live more strongly.
Guo Dunzi can't, now that Li Ting is the main force, he naturally has to respect Li Ting's opinion, but deep down he feels that this is a bit too cautious.
The refugees were only confused for a short while, and a big man who seemed to be the leader walked out, with a sideways look that was not scary, especially his expression as gentle as possible, but it made people feel like there was some conspiracy, anyway, when a normal person saw him, he would definitely not think of a good person, he made sure that Li Ting would not shoot without saying a word, and cautiously walked to the front of the team, and said: " Misunderstandings are misunderstandings, we are refugees living near here, and we came here to see the bonfire and thought that there were idle refugees here, ready to come to rescue one or two, and there was no other meaning. ”
"According to what you mean, we still have to thank you?" Say, why don't you hurry up and escape, and instead look around here for refugees?" Li Ting stared at them through the cracks in the grass without blinking, beware of any small movements from them, fortunately, because the two of them had guns, even if they had bad ideas, they would be a little jealous: "And who are you? Why do I look at you a little familiar?" The appearance of the big man is very distinctive, if she had seen it before, Li Ting would not be able to remember it for no reason? But this man looked familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"My name is Fan Zhongting, and all of my men are following here, you see that we don't have any powerful weapons, and you have pistols, can you still be afraid that our group of refugees will not succeed? ”
Fan Zhongting had a kind smile on his face, and he couldn't wait to directly cut off the arms of the two people holding guns on the other side, not to mention that when people were unlucky, they would even stuff their teeth with cold water, and it was unlucky enough to eat human flesh yesterday when they were discovered by the army, and today they took the brothers out to find something to make a tooth sacrifice, ready to catch an unlucky ghost and eat a big meal of meat directly in the wild, but he didn't expect that the first group of prey he encountered when he went out would bring a guy, and the person with such a heavy sense of defense really made him a little nowhere to start.
