Chapter 20: Crisis

The weather was so hot that my clothes were soaked with sweat and my throat was smoking.

The black-haired bear took out the kettle pinned to his waist and drank it greedily. He drank very seriously, did not waste a drop, and after barely quenching his thirst, he stopped.

At this time, he realized that Zhao Lei, who was sitting next to him, was in good spirits, and he didn't look like he had walked all morning under the sun.

"Brother, you deserve to be a master of martial arts, this hot day, the spirit is still so good. Brother, I can't do it, take one step and take three breaths. ”

"What Brother Black Bear said, I'm here to fight a little hardship, and if I'm used to it, it's a hard life.

Brother, you are not used to it, you are so burly, and you consume a lot, so it will be good to get used to it after a while. ”

The black bear remembered that he had a relatively nourishing life before, but he couldn't survive for a while now, so he left his hometown to beg for a living, but he didn't suffer like now.

He walked on this road every day, thinking about giving up every moment, if it weren't for the fact that Pingyang City was still running in front of him, he would have given up a long time ago.

After a brain supplement by the black bear, he really thought that he had never suffered before, so he was like this, and Zhao Lei successfully fooled this matter.

But the black-haired bear didn't want to think about it, the vast majority of his team were people who had suffered hardships, why didn't they look like Zhao Lei, the black-haired bear just thought that Zhao Lei was strong in martial arts and didn't take it seriously.

Zhao Lei will not reveal this treasure on his chest, thanks to this chalcedony along the way, he can be much more comfortable, not only cool and relieve the heat, but also in good spirits.

Along the way, Zhao Lei only felt that his body was getting better and better, and the cool air released by this chalcedony was getting more and more, if it wasn't for the black bear wanting to stop, he could continue walking.

Seeing the black-haired bear drinking so happily, Zhao Lei felt a little thirsty, but he took out his kettle, took two sips, and was reluctant to put it back.

There is not much water in the kettle, and he will use it on the next road, before he touches a clean water source, Zhao Lei doesn't want to drink that kind of muddy and dirty water like these homeless people.

The water in this kettle is all Zhao Lei, the precipitated water, and then boiled and poured in.

This is what Zhao Lei's father told him since he was a child, raw water in the wild cannot be drunk directly, it is easy to get sick, be careful when you go out, and it will be fine.

Zhao Lei They were in this shady place, lying down at noon, until it was not too hot and unbearable, and then they continued to set off.

The further you go, the more desolate the road becomes, and along the way, not even the wild dogs can be touched, I am afraid that they have already entered the stomachs of these nomads.

This is different from what Zhao Lei imagined, I thought that the closer to the city should be, the more vibrant.

Zhao Lei thought that he was afraid that these people who were affected by the disaster were the same as him, they all just wanted to go to a stable place, a nearby place, and thought that it might be better to have a strong government, so more and more people flocked to Pingyang City.

But the reality seems to be the opposite, and the road is unusually desolate.

Everything that could be eaten and what could not be eaten was swept by the homeless people who had passed before, and the surroundings were cleaner than those gnawed by dogs.

As the county seat of Pingyang got closer and closer, the mood of the black bear became worse and worse.

Originally, they were the only ones on the road, but now more people came from all directions, all from other places, and they merged together like a stream of water.

There are too many displaced people along the way, and they are densely packed with human heads.

Because of the increase in numbers, they were divided into different groups, and there were always strong teams with a large number of people bullying those weak teams, and there were already four or five conflicts in this short period of time.

Two died on the spot, and more than a dozen were injured.

The two who died on the spot, Zhao Lei just glanced at them, and the two bodies disappeared, leaving only a pile of blood stains at the scene.

Zhao Lei can imagine that as time goes on, the less food there is, the more frequent the conflicts, and it cannot be ruled out that it may cause riots.

Zhao Lei was originally walking in the middle of the team, he squeezed forward desperately, and then came to the side of the black-haired bear and said to him:

"Brother Black Bear, it's not okay to be crowded in a pile of people like this, but whenever something happens, you can't run, this is putting your life in the hands of others.

If you meet another person with a bad mind, and you rise up, won't we be wasted!

When the time comes, let alone going to Pingyang City to eat and drink spicy food, whether you can press your head on your neck is one thing. ”

"Brother, what do you say?"

The black-haired bear looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was also anxious.

Now there are too many people, and I am mixed with this group of homeless people, even if I go to Pingyang City, the people in the city will not let them in for safety.

If he can't enter Pingyang City, then his cousin's relationship will be impossible.

Zhao Lei looked around, leaned over to the black-haired bear, ignored the smell of sweat emanating from his body, and then glanced at him backwards and didn't say anything.

He only left the black-haired bear a look, and the black-haired bear naturally understood what Zhao Lei meant, but now he still couldn't make up his mind.

These people under his hands are all the capital of the black-haired bear, and if he wants to give up for a while, he will take a few powerful younger brothers under his hands to survive, no less than a broken arm to survive.

Because in the eyes of the black bear, only the more people there are, the more he can mix in Pingyang City, and only then can his distant cousin pay more attention.

Besides, the person who put forward this idea is still Zhao Lei, the black-haired bear understands that he has a few catties and a few taels, although he has two hands of kung fu, but he thinks that he is definitely not Zhao Lei's opponent.

If his subordinates are abandoned by himself, then there will always be a crack between him and his subordinates, even those who are not abandoned by the black bear, they will inevitably have the sad thought of the rabbit dying and the fox.

Besides, as far as he and his subordinates are concerned, it is not for Zhao Lei to handle it casually.

Although the black bear knows that the best way now is to pick out the strongest men from his younger brother and the team, and then reduce the team, waiting for the opportunity to mix in the outermost layer of the big team.

It is best if you can get to Pingyang County safely, and if you can't, you can escape as quickly as possible.

But now the black bear just can't make up his mind, and time is slowly delayed.

Zhao Lei has already revealed his meaning to the black-haired bear, and it is up to him what to do behind the black-haired bear.

If he was still so indecisive, then Zhao Lei would not accompany him here to wait for death, but now it is time for him to think about the way back.
