Personality V: I will save everything

"Are you sure it's this direction? We've been looking for it for a long time." Jose Baden's patience was almost worn out by this Indian girl.

Now everyone was on the uninhabited primitive prairie. The sun was blazing and there was no shade around him. Jose Baden felt like he was about to evaporate.

Although everyone was riding horses and not walking on their own legs, even riding horses was no better than walking on this rugged road.

Jose Baden felt like he was really going to explode. The surroundings were desert, grassland, or jungle, and there was no trace of any living person.

Isn't this Indian girl really playing tricks on them? ! ╰（‵□′）╯

Juke and Norton, who were riding ahead, looked back at Jose Baden, who was burning in place, relatively speechless.

José Badem's rage had taken physical form.

But facing Jose Baden, who was about to explode on the spot, Norton and Juke were thinking of the adjective "pampered".

When Norton was still in the mining area, it was common for him to wave a pickaxe in the open space under the scorching sun, or to enter the freezing mine tunnel wearing only a thin piece of clothing in the ice and snow. things.

The same goes for Qiu Ke. The hard days he had in the circus were much more cruel than they are now.

So these two people who had "suffered hardship" could only think of the word "spoiled" when looking at Jose Baden's current appearance.

But of course, they didn't have the slightest intention to blame Jose Baden. After all, in this case, it was normal to get angry.

They have been traveling in the desert since sunrise, traveling back and forth between grasslands and jungles. Now that the sun is almost setting, they have not even met an Indian, let alone finding Angelina's tribe.

It's normal for Jose Baden to get angry. After all, not everyone has enough patience and good temper. What's more, from the beginning, Jose Baden didn't intend to help Angelina. He would follow her. , completely out of friendship with Qiu Ke and the others.

"Then again, it's going to be dark soon." Norton interrupted, trying to change the topic of Jose Baden.

And Norton was indeed right, the sun was already close to the horizon, and if they couldn't find a suitable place to spend the evening, they would sleep on the grass.

This is no joke. It's fine during the day, but at night it's the home field of the beasts.

If something happens by then, we can't guarantee that we can protect everyone.

First of all, the main combat forces in the team are Juke and Norton.

Natasha is a pregnant woman, Angelina is a girl, and Jose Baden is only capable of protecting himself.

Although the three Will brothers also have considerable fighting ability, they are three children after all, and they have just acquired their abilities not long ago, so they are not particularly good at mastering them.

Needless to say, Kurt Frank's combat effectiveness is approximately zero.

Although Gabriel has the abilities given to him by the owner of the manor, they are mainly for defense and treatment. If something happens, it is not 100% safe.

To sum up, if they encounter a group of wild beasts, such as lions, wolves, bison and other beasts, something unexpected may happen.

Moreover, this is still grassland, which greatly limits Norton's abilities.

Because there is almost nothing around that can make him "collapse".

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Angelina quickly admitted her mistake.

Angelina originally just wanted to take a short detour in the morning to observe the reactions of these people. When she confirmed that these people did not have any purpose and no one was following them, Angelina planned to follow her instructions. I rushed in the direction of the tribe in my memory.

But gradually... I don't know whether it's because it's been too long since I've been on the grassland, or because the ecology here has been completely destroyed by those North Americans. Even Angelina, who is an aborigine, has lost her way.

Angelina originally thought she could return to the Chielo tribe before the sun set and entertain her saviors in the tribe, but she didn't expect that she would now be in danger.

To make matters worse, there was a pregnant mother and several small children among them. If something happened, Angelina felt that she would never forgive herself in her life.

(Angelina doesn’t know what special abilities they have and just treats them as ordinary people.)

"This is not your fault, Angelina, don't blame yourself." Natasha felt that all this was not Angelina's fault. It could be seen from their journey just now that the ecology here has been destroyed by North America. People have destroyed everything, and there is a desert with no grass growing everywhere.

It's normal for Angelina to not be able to remember the road because the "signposts" she once had have been destroyed.

"Are you okay? Natasha." Jack noticed something was wrong with Natasha in his arms.

Jack and Natasha rode the same horse, so Jack could take better care of her. Along the way, Jack held Natasha in his arms so that he could observe her condition at any time.

Just now, Juke noticed that something was wrong with Natasha.

"Are you cold? Natasha."

The surroundings have indeed begun to feel cool, the sun has gradually set, and the surrounding area is almost a desert with no grass growing. Under such circumstances, the temperature drops very quickly.

"Yes." Natasha didn't mean to hide it. She did feel the coldness around her. Since she was pregnant, Natasha has been very sensitive to changes in temperature, so she is the first among them. aware of this situation.

"We need to make a fire." These words were said by Jose Baden. They had to make a fire to keep warm.

Although the sudden drop in temperature is not enough to freeze people to death, it will be very troublesome if any of them get sick.

After all, there was no hospital around to treat him, and they didn't bring any medicine with them.

"I'm here to help." Angelina was the first to jump off the horse and wanted to find some wood to burn around.

Jose Baden glanced at her with his eyes and did not answer the question, because he felt that this is what this Indian girl should do. If it were not for her, he would now be enjoying the North American opera house with other people in the manor. Performing, rather than staging wilderness survival in this inhospitable place.

Angelina felt the unkind look in Jose Baden's eyes, but Angelina didn't think it was anything. On the contrary, she felt that this man should not like her.

Because Angelina knew that the man named Norton Campbell who saved her could have thrown her into the desert after buying her and left her to fend for herself, but now they are willing to work together to help her find her. The way back to the tribe.

In other words, Angelina is already very grateful for being able to survive. Even if they abandon her and leave now, Angelina won't feel anything wrong, because as a few strangers, they do There are enough.

If it were herself, Angelina would not even think that she would spend a lot of money to save someone who had nothing to do with her in the first place.

Thinking of this, Angelina picked up some dry branches and silently prayed to the ancestors of the tribe in her heart, praying to bless these kind-hearted people so that they can leave here safely.

"What is this?" "Pessimism" among the three Will brothers held a strange thing in his hand.

Angelina looked back, immediately rushed forward, reached out and knocked the thing out of "Pessimism"'s hand. Just now, the child actually wanted to stuff it into his mouth? ? ! !

"Ah!" Angelina's sudden attack made Pessimistic scream out in fright, and she quickly ran to Norton.

"What's going on?" The noise happening here also attracted the attention of others.

Norton quickly asked the frightened Pessimistic, asking him what happened.

"I don't know, she suddenly stretched out her hand and hit me." (Children's traditional skill of telling lies with their eyes open.)

"Angelina, what happened?" Natasha didn't think Angelina would really reach out and hit someone. After all, Angelina, as a local aborigine, is much more familiar with some unknown things than they are. .

Angelina was very touched by Natasha's trust in her. At the same time, she also wanted to warn everyone here not to mess with plants that she was not familiar with.

"This thing is poisonous!" Angelina pointed at the plant that she had just knocked out of Pessimism's hand.

It was an ordinary-looking plant with many small dark purple fruits on it, which looked a bit like blueberries. No wonder "Pessimism" just picked its fruits without any scruples.

"American Trade Route?!" Kurt Frank, who didn't speak much along the way, recognized it.

Ah, please don't get me wrong. In fact, Kurt Frank was not that well-informed. He just remembered this plant once appearing in the adventure novels and travel notes he often liked to read.

At the same time, he not only recognized this plant, he also clearly remembered that this plant was poisonous, especially its fruits.

"Is this thing poisonous?!" After hearing Kurt Frank's explanation, Norton couldn't help but feel frightened. He was so "pessimistic" that he almost ate it.

"Poisonous!" Kurt Frank remembered it very clearly. For this adventure in North America, he read all the adventure travel notes and novels related to North America.

This plant is mentioned more than once, and a lot of space is spent describing how common this plant is, how easy it is for people to eat it by mistake, and how toxic it is.

Phytoweed poisoning can cause severe vomiting or dry choking, a burning sensation from the mouth to the stomach, abdominal convulsions, diarrhea, and even death from heart paralysis.

What just happened could not help but scare everyone, and at the same time, it also made everyone clearly aware that there were many dangers lurking in this primitive continent.

Especially "Pessimistic", he was so frightened that he burst into tears in Norton's arms. He just had a brush with death.

Norton's mood was also very complicated. He didn't know whether he should be grateful that Angelina had just saved "Pessimism", or whether he should blame "Pessimism" for not putting anything in his mouth.

...............

After what happened just now, everyone also increased their vigilance.

Finally, before the sun set, everyone gathered enough wood and built a fire in the open space.

"Eat something. I brought some dried meat and bread." I don't know if it was because of what happened just now, but everyone was sitting around the fire, and the atmosphere was a little heavy. Natasha decided to liven things up a bit.

Everyone sat around the fire and ate the food Natasha had brought, but everyone still looked at the burning fire and no one spoke. What happened just now really left a heavy mark on everyone's hearts. shadow.

But everyone's reaction was normal. Even Angelina, a native Indian, was shocked just now. Angelina chewed the food in her mouth mechanically, and she began to think about what she should do tomorrow.

She couldn't tell the direction at all now. The only thing she still remembered was that her tribe was in the west, and the rest... Angelina wasn't too sure either.

Less than ten years have passed, and everything around her has changed so fast. All the trees that Angelina used as a reference have been cut down by the North Americans. .

Now they can only move towards one place reluctantly.

Angelina was gradually thinking about the worst. She was thinking about what she should do if she couldn't find her way back to the tribe. What should I do if I fall in this uninhabited desert with these people?

Angelina's thoughts got worse and worse, so much so that Jose Bardem, who was sitting next to her, noticed her mood.

"Here, drink some water." Jose Baden handed her his water bottle.

After the incident just now, Jose Baden's attitude towards Angelina has softened a lot, and now it can be said that he took the initiative to show his kindness to her.

"Thank you." Angelina took the kettle from Jose Baden, which was equivalent to accepting his overtures.

Seeing that the relationship between the two was no longer so stiff, Norton and Jack also breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Juke noticed something.

"What are you writing?" Since everyone was sitting around the fire, Kurt Frank has been writing and drawing in the autobiography book he carried with him.

"I want to record what just happened." Kurt Frank replied without raising his head.

Although Kurt Frank acted very calm just now, he was actually very frightened. He vowed that he would spend as much space as possible to write about the incident in his autobiography and warn all those who come to the North. People in the Americas should be careful about the damn American trade routes!
