Chapter 1: Escape from the Desolation!

Next Chapter

In the endless barren land, the green grass and green trees that could be seen everywhere in the previous life are hard to find, leaving only dead branches with an inexplicable smell of decay and clumps of low dark red plants. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The ground was cracked, like the wrinkles on a human face. However, it is not an artificial crack, but a dry crack due to sun exposure. The land of thousands of miles glowed with rust, like a piece of iron that had been gradually rusted by the air, scorched and weak.

The blazing sun emits a huge amount of heat, baking the earth and revealing its noble presence. At this time, the sun is no longer a holy object that brings light to all things, but more like a monster that destroys the world.

The strong wind blowing from nowhere did not bring the slightest coolness to this world, but the strong wind was wrapped in a huge heat wave and raged wildly in this barren land. It is like a hungry beast, frantically searching for everything that has the breath of life on the earth, finding them, and destroying them.

The only spectacular sight is the stone forest, where a few feet of tall stones emerge from the cracks in the earth like tender grass in early spring, and stand tall. It is covered with traces of time, and I don't know how many years it has existed, and sometimes the stones will be blown away by the cold wind and turned into a pile of rubble, scattered on this boundless barren land.

It's a barren world where almost no life survives.

At this moment, a dark shadow swayed on the horizon and moved slowly.

He was small, his face was yellow, his lips were parched and cracked from severe dehydration, but his eyes were tired and determined, and he walked with a slow, heavy stride wrapped in a tattered coat.

It's hard to imagine that there are still humans in such a hostile environment.

In his previous life, Gao Wu was reluctant to involve his family because of cancer, so he secretly ran away from home. After a period of torture, he finally died. But he didn't expect that after his death, he came to another world, in short, he was reborn.

He had awakened in the scorching sun, and the scorching heat of the sun had shone on him and almost set him on fire and burned him into a piece of charcoal.

This is obviously not his body, although the body is not highly recognizable, but judging by Gao Wu, the age of this body is definitely no more than twelve years old.

Logically speaking, going from twenty-three to twelve, from death to resurrection seems to be a good thing. But although Gao Wu has been resurrected, his current situation is not very good. He was in a barren place, and from a high place, he could see the same scenery from a distance.

The only life he saw so far was the dwarf shrubs in the cracks in the ground and the crevices of the boulders, which struggled to survive in this harsh environment like him. Other than that, Gao Wu has not found any life.

But these dwarf plants gave Gao Wu hope to live, and no water could exist directly under the scorching sun, even a river would evaporate in a short time.

Although the plant is small, but the water fixing ability is very strong, the leaves store a trace amount of water, the leaves are non-toxic, but bitter, almost the same as Coptis chinensis, but in order to survive, Gao Wu had to collect the leaves of these plants to eat, with the leaves of these plants barely maintained Gao Wu's life.

If it were a normal person in such an environment, it might not take long for him to have a nervous breakdown and die, but Gao Wu was different.

The torture of cancer in his previous life not only exercised Gao Wu's spiritual will and made him stronger, but also cultivated Gao Wu's strong desire to survive, making him cherish life more and not giving up his hope of survival in such a harsh environment. After all, only those who have truly lost will cherish it more.

It's been three days since he's been here, and he's almost reached his physical limit. At first, he was in a hurry during the day, but the scorching sun would cause him to lose a lot of water and accelerate his body's collapse.

So Gao Wu changed his plan, finding a crack in the back sun during the day, or finding a cave, where he could rest and save his physical strength. And when dusk is close to night, I will hurry again, and I will walk all night. Find a place to hide again as the sun comes to the rising sun.

Fortunately, even at night, there was a faint starlight in this barren place, so that he could not see the way. He didn't know where the closest way out of this barren land was, so he had to find a way to keep going. He believed that he would be able to escape from this desolate land.

The original owner of this body didn't know what his identity was, and although Gao Wu occupied this body, he didn't get any memories of this body, so he didn't know anything about this world. He wondered why the original owner of this body was in this barren land, whether he had come here of his own free will, or had he been forcibly left here, or whether he had lived in this barren land himself?

Wang Yu didn't know anything about the original owner, and the only thing that could prove his identity was a cyan jade pendant worn with a red rope and hung around his neck, and there was nothing else.

He made the worst guess, someone wanted the original owner of this body to die, so he threw him here. This had to make him guess that no normal person would run to this barren land and go so far.

If Gao Wu's speculation is true, then there is more than one crisis for him.

In addition to leaving this uninhabited and barren land, he also has to find a way to deal with the crisis hidden in the shadows, which is undoubtedly a huge problem for him who has no foundation in the world for the first time.

As for the idea of living in this barren land in the first place, it only flashed in Gao Wu's mind, there were no conditions for human survival here, and it was impossible to live for a long time.

However, Gao Wu's main task now is to escape from this barren land, otherwise even if he has the support of the leaves of dwarf plants, he will not be able to escape the clutches of death in the end due to the lack of nutrition.

Stopping slightly, Gao Wu looked around, then showed a look of disappointment in his eyes, raised his steps and continued walking.

Gao Wu had almost no strength left after a night's journey last night, but now he had not found a place where he could hide, so he could only continue walking until he found a place for him to hide or until he died.

The sun was getting more and more violent, and Gao Wu stopped and hid under a boulder, ready to rest for a while.

But he couldn't stay here for long, the time was about seven o'clock in his previous life, and the sun hadn't reached the back of the boulder yet, but if he waited another hour or two, the sun would turn to the backside.

So it's not possible to stay here for a long time, but it's okay to take a short break.

After about ten minutes, Gao Wu also ate a lot of the leaves he had stored, and replenished his strength a little. Although these leaves leave the plant, the water-fixing ability becomes very poor, and the water disappears within a few hours, but it can also add a little food and nutrients to Gao Wu's frantic wriggling stomach.

Stepping on the road again, Gao Wu's luck was good this time, and after walking for less than half an hour, he found a cave that could completely block out the gradually scorching sun. And there are a few dwarf plants in the cave, just enough to replenish the water he has lost.

Greedily plucked half of the leaves of the dwarf plant and stuffed it into his mouth, although his mouth was full of bitterness, he was reluctant to waste a little.

Leaving half of it to supplement his journey at night, Gao Wu leaned against the rock wall and fell into a deep sleep, he had to replenish his strength as soon as possible to cope with the arduous journey of the night.

After another five days like this, Gao Wu was pleasantly surprised to find that the sun's rays seemed to have weakened, and the best proof was that the dwarf plants on the ground had become more numerous, which proved that he had gradually left the barren land and gradually approached the edge.

Despite this, he still retains a plan to rest during the day and travel at night. Although the sunlight has weakened, it is only relatively speaking, the sun's rays are still a big problem, and choosing the most energy-saving method can give him more possibilities to get out of here.

As he continued to move forward, Gao Wu found that the power of the sun was gradually weakening, and there were too many dwarf plants for him to eat, and he guessed that he was about to leave this barren land.

Another night, Gao Wu walked on the rough road, believing that it would not be long before he could escape the barren land.

"Da! Da ..."

Suddenly, a heavy footstep came into his ears, which made Gao Wu, who was hurrying, jump in his heart.

This is a living creature! Unlike the dwarf plants that sustain him, this is a real living creature! And the appearance of a living creature means that his judgment is not wrong, and he is only a thin line away from success!

Although he was 90% sure that it was indeed a living creature, he wanted to see it for real. So he slowly calmed down the excitement in his heart, and Gao Wu carefully stood on tiptoe and touched in the direction where the voice came from.

He couldn't be careless, he couldn't tell whether the creature was a man or a beast, good or evil, just by the sound of footsteps.

What if it's not a human, but a ferocious beast? He knows his current situation very well, a wild wolf can tear him to pieces.

Also, if it's a human being, is it a good person or a bad person? If you meet a bad person, you might not even know how you died.

So, caution is a must.

Bending down and standing on tiptoe, Gao Wu was like a wild cat. The soles of the feet rubbing against the ground make only a subtle sound, almost inaudible. In this way, Gao Wu slowly approached step by step.

The closer he got to the sound, the clearer it became, and the clicking sound kept coming into Gao Wude's ears, lifting his spirits.

There was not only the sound of clattering footsteps, but also the faint sound of chewing and churning of branches and leaves, as if some kind of creature was devouring dwarf plants on the ground.

However, after hearing these voices, Gao Wu's hanging heart relaxed slightly. Vegetarian creatures are generally relatively gentle, at least not too aggressive, so that even if their own snooping is discovered, there will not be much danger.

Gao Wu came to the back of a boulder and carefully leaned against the cool surface of the boulder. Slowly moving his steps, he came to the corner of the edge of the boulder, and slowly showed his eyes to look at the place where the voice came from.

It was a huge black shadow, vaguely more than two meters high, giving a strong sense of pressure, and was lowering its head to gnaw on the dwarf plants on the ground.
