Pure White Core

Chapter 8 Ignite Hope

The sun was setting on the flat wasteland, and some birds croaked and flew over our heads in flocks. Everyone was hungry, but we couldn't find anything to eat.Logically speaking, autumn is the harvest season, but these damn weeds don't bear fruit at all, and even if they do, we may not have the courage to eat them.

Dry mouth is another problem. I have not drank water for nearly five hours, and the fatigue from the long journey has slowed down the speed of the team.On the way here, we only saw two relatively large animals from a distance. We didn’t have time to see whether it was a deer or an antelope. Soon.

I can't help but thank the milky white light group for the suggestion. If it weren't for the 0.5 agility, I would have fallen behind many times. With my light legs and feet, I followed closely in the team and didn't trouble others.Not long after we set off, Liu Fan and Jiang Li still kindly asked me if I was tired, and if I wanted them to memorize it. I shook my head and refused. Afterwards, the long trek made them physically and mentally exhausted, and no one had the leisure to come. Consider me looking fine.

My stamina value is only one-fifth of that of a standard adult. It is logically impossible to follow so many adults whose stamina is within the normal range for a long time, but my legs and feet are very flexible and my body is light. The consumption of walking is inversely compared to carrying ten People with iron swords weighing tens of catties or wearing thick leather armor are much smaller.

I could tell everyone was tired, but no one complained of being tired, no one even suggested going to the bathroom, presumably everyone else was trying to ignore the puffs of pressure in their bladders as I was doing.

Everyone is competing with everyone else, betting that other people will scream before they can't help it, and so do I.

This is a journey that is very likely to lead to death. Even though all of us have "dead" in name, it does not mean that the instinct to survive will be weaker. In fact, it is precisely because we have lost, It is rarer now, and I try harder to survive.

I held my dagger-like round fangs in both hands and walked forward, trying to coordinate my breathing and pace to reduce unnecessary consumption.Xu Dazhi and Jiang Li, who opened the way at the front, have already rotated for four or five waves. Xu Dazhi is in a group with Liu Fan, Jiang Li is in a group with Lan Meng, and then Yao Xiaobo is in a group with Wang Shufen.

Wang Shufen is the middle-aged woman who checked the skeleton before. She is not as wary of us now, and she offered to help open the way.She chose leather armor, and every time she went forward to open the way, she would take off the leather armor and let Jiang Li put it on, and then she would hold Jiang Li's iron sword to cut grass and clear the way with Yao Xiaobo.

If she hadn't told everyone by herself, no one would have guessed that she was only 32 years old. Xu Dazhi began to thank her for her "sister" and she didn't respond. After Xu Dazhi knew her real age, she was sweating with shame and repeatedly gave people apologize.

Wang Shufen didn't mind either, she just smiled and said that she was so mature and popular in the hospital, that the patient who seemed too young was not at ease.

She didn't tell everyone which department she worked in, but I could feel that she was not difficult to get along with. At least she insisted on taking off her leather armor for Jiang Li to wear when she offered to use the iron sword to open the way. I admire her very much.Later, Liu Sujuan, a rural aunt wearing a leather armor, saw that the people in the front team were all working hard, so she walked alone, and she couldn't hold back and asked Lan Meng to borrow an iron sword to open the way. Lan Meng asked her to take off the leather armor and follow her Use an iron sword instead.

Surprisingly, Liu Sujuan, who seems to be honest and honest, disagreed. She first said that she was too old to tolerate the cold, and then said that it was too dangerous to open the road ahead. If something popped out without leather armor, I would not feel at ease. If Lan Meng was stingy and didn't lend her It's a big deal if she borrows someone else's.

I don't know if Liu Sujuan's words hurt the person who was sweating profusely and almost shirtless before opening the way. Xu Dazhi didn't lend her a sword. Yao Xiaobo and Liu Fan ignored her at all. He squeezed back into the middle of the line again, with a hint of joy on his face, obviously happy that he had escaped the hard way and blocked the mouths of others.

Although Wang Shufen didn't like to talk, she drove very hard to open the way, and soon Xu Dazhi and the others began to untie a lot of knots in their hearts. It was also considered helpful for her to take the initiative to let her walk with everyone in our team.

Liu Sujuan was not very fluent in Mandarin at first, and she didn't like to talk. She just always squeezed into the center of the whole team with a simple and honest face, and everyone was her bodyguard.

I walked next to Liu Fan most of the time, if he opened the way ahead, I would follow in the front row; if it was his turn to rest, I would walk with him and Xu Dazhi at the end of the line.

The old man and the two men who were hanging behind like ghosts had already squeezed into the team brazenly. Anyway, they didn't say anything. Xu Dazhi and the others were unhappy and didn't want to talk to them. The two groups pretended not to see each other.The man in the old jacket with the iron sword never mentioned the matter of going to the front to help open the way, and he often scolded the gray-haired old man who was not far away from him. The old man was panting and his acting skills were exaggerated. , as if he was about to die at any moment, and sighed from time to time, "Oh! I'm old! My legs and feet are useless!", "The young people of today... Alas!"

The reason why we have slowed down several times in a row is because everyone is tired, but it is also related to the old man who slowed down and fell behind and shouted for help. I really don't understand why he doesn't talk to us, but always has to do something. The gesture of waiting for us to take the initiative to serve him.

After the old man fell behind, we had no choice but to stop moving forward and retreat. Xu Dazhi wanted to support the old man who claimed to have "broken his leg". ,leave me alone!"

Xu Dazhi was too lazy to talk to him, and walked along with him. The white-haired old man was limping, his face was contorted, and he seemed to be enduring great pain with every step.

At that time, the sun had not yet started to set. In order to accommodate Xu Dazhi, who was supporting him, the team's progress was much slower, and two other big men who didn't say a word were also in the team to prevent falling behind. .

The old man put his whole body weight on Xu Dazhi's body, Xu Dazhi was blushing and could only resist, but the old man was injured after all, so he couldn't just leave him in the wilderness, right?

Not long after, the careful Yao Xiaobo noticed that the old man's lame walking posture was not normal, so he kicked the old man from behind. The old man who was injured and "couldn't walk on his own" was startled, let go of Xu Dazhi and ran out like a normal person Far away, the people around were as disgusted as if they had eaten flies. Xu Dazhi was so angry that his face turned blue, and he didn't turn his head back to the front.

"My legs finally rested better...who is so unqualified, kicking people!" The old man was still full of grievances, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.

For the rest of the time, the old man was still sighing and sighing, no one paid any attention to him, only the man in the ragged jacket with yellow teeth swears at him from time to time, looking at the shining iron sword in the man's hand, the old man didn't dare to pay back at all, just continued Pretending to be pitiful, expecting other people to discover their conscience and respect the elderly.

The hills with large gray rocks are approaching, and there are more large and small stones in the wet and soft ground under the feet, and the yellow grass has become sparser, the vision has become wider and wider, and the road has become more and more difficult. Come and go.

"Okay, the grass here is relatively sparse. Let's take a rest here. If anyone needs to go to the bathroom, we will start in 15 minutes!" Xu Dazhi is now faintly the leader of our entire team, and there is no objection to him directing everyone.

In the wilderness, no one dared to speak loudly, so they went to the grass to release water alone, so they were divided into two groups, four women in one group, seven men in one group, women took turns to go to the toilet, and three guards. One; we men will divide into two groups and get it done as soon as possible.

Although I don't really want to squat big, I still force myself to try to solve everything that can be solved, because I don't know if there will be a chance to solve it in the future, and I don't want to wait until it is completely dark to suddenly feel sick to my stomach. Get comfortable, I'm afraid of the dark.

The scene where a group of people took off their shoes and socks tacitly on the grass has an indescribable humor. None of the eleven of us had toilet paper in their pockets. This is definitely an unforgettable fertilization in the desolate wasteland.

Jiang Li held back her smile and gave Lan Meng one of her socks. When Lan Meng went to the wasteland with us, she only wore a hospital gown and her feet were bare. She walked barefoot all the way.The soil on the wasteland is not considered hard, but it is estimated that she has suffered a lot.

I admire that I have never eaten a grain of rice or released water since I was locked in a cage. After walking with them for so long in the wasteland, I finally solved my physical problems. I am so handsome.Fear always allows people to overcome difficulties that they usually dare not even think about.

Under such circumstances, no one could care less about being shy, and went back to gather after hastily solving the problem. The sky was getting darker, and the sun had almost touched the horizon full of weeds in the distance, and the whole wasteland was stained with a thin layer of scarlet. Light.

I didn't feel hungry until I was relieved to discharge the waste, and even the feeling of dry mouth was clearer than before, and the expressions on other people's faces were also very listless.

"Let's go, no matter what, go to the bottom of the hillside first, and then find a way to find water and food. It's best to find a way to start a fire." Xu Dazhi's neat suit at the beginning has long been worn out by the weeds. Covered with dust and dry sticks, it looks like a migrant worker, and the others are also disheveled and not much better.

There is no need to cut grass to open the road again, perhaps because of a little rest, the speed of travel has increased greatly, and everyone is rushing towards the hill that casts a long shadow in the distance.Even the old man who was always yelling and selling miserably before did not hold everyone back.

The little hill in the village is getting closer and closer, and I can already see the big stones standing up and intersecting. I only vaguely saw the blue-gray before, but now I can see many white spots on it. If you look closely, it looks like Paint the pattern with a sealing pen.

"Uncle Xu, can you see the symbols on the stone?" I asked Xu Dazhi next to me.

"I can't see clearly," Xu Dazhi covered his eyes with his hand and looked over, "Do you see symbols on the stone?"

"Hey, there are indeed white circles and stripes, there are people there!" Jiang Li, who was wearing glasses, also saw it, and said happily: "Someone drew those white symbols on the stone, maybe someone is nearby!"

The few flat and long boulders on the hill are scattered together, and they are naturally formed at first glance. They are about five or six meters high, and many white stripes and circles are painted on them, which are irregular. It's a bit of a minority ritual style.

"There is smoke, and there are houses!" Liu Fan shouted excitedly. He is tall and can see more clearly.

"Where is it? Where is it?" I was instantly refreshed!If there is smoke, there is fire, if there is a house, there are people, and then there will be hot food and soft beds...

Liu Fan laughed and stretched out his hands to lift me up. My field of vision widened instantly. There was indeed an oval-shaped small house made of stones at the bottom of the rocks on the hill, and smoke was rising in the dim light.

"I saw it, I saw it, there is smoke!" I screamed very excitedly.

"Let's go, let's go!" Xu Dazhi's round face was full of smiles: "It's getting dark, everyone work harder!"

The night is coming, but the atmosphere of joy pervades the weeds, getting stronger and stronger as we run.
