Ye An

In the early morning, when the rooster crows, everything wakes up.

The fiery red sun disc leaps from the east, and the morning light is brilliant, illuminating the blue sky.

Ancheng woke up from a deep sleep, and the street that had been silent all night soon became lively.

The gong was sounded in front of the market, and after ten gongs, the closed gate opened to both sides.Businessmen who had been waiting for a long time flocked in, and the well-shaped street soon became bustling with people.

The patrol team passed through the city, handed over to the night watch team, and after exchanging wooden tokens, they climbed up the city wall one after another.

The plants growing in the east of the city became more and more luxuriant, and a large number of fruits matured, exuding a sweet smell.Many foreign caravans have been waiting for a long time to load and transport this batch of fruits.

The sky was bright, and there were more and more pedestrians on the road, shoulder to shoulder.

On both sides of the wide street, locust trees spread their branches and leaves, bringing a coolness to passers-by under the trees.

Just after halfway through the morning, the temperature has risen sharply. Just standing in the sun for a few minutes will make you sweat profusely.If you run for a few steps, you may be out of breath if you are of average physique.

A heat wave swept across the delta, and neither the mutant beasts on land nor the schools of fish in the water could move under such high temperatures.Most of them will hide and wait for the temperature to drop before going out to hunt.

The roar of the engine sounded outside the city, and more than 100 modified cars gathered outside the city, lined up in a long queue, ready to go.

It takes a lot of courage to travel under such a high temperature. It is difficult to find a second batch of caravans except for the hard-working caravans.

Ye An became a special case.

Before he set off, he made careful arrangements to ensure that everything in the city would run smoothly while he was away.Even if there is an unexpected situation, it can be resolved in the shortest time.

Each of the team members who travel with him is well paid.There are many people who are still regretful because they were not named.

In addition, Ye An also summoned craftsmen in the city, and asked the caravan to help modify the traveling vehicles.The modified vehicle has a built-in special device. After it is turned on, the cool breeze is gentle, and it is no longer like a stuffy tank. The body is afraid of heat and will not suffer from heat stroke.

Such a modified car makes businessmen jealous, but after learning about the energy consumed every day, most people back off.

"So many crystals are used?"

Even Zhao Weng, knowing the amount of crystals consumed, would not be able to spend like this for many years.

To be honest, apart from Ye An, who is rich and powerful, looking at the entire wasteland, counting each faction one by one, there is no second one.

Xiao Yun may be able to, but he doesn't have to.

City Lord Xiao, who was like ice, threw a few pieces of ice at will, which was enough to dispel the heat in his subordinates.

The convoy carried a large amount of supplies, more than half of which were necessary medicines, which were prepared by Ling Lan herself.The second is a well-made weapon, which is very convenient to carry on the body.

On the contrary, food occupies only a very small part.

In hot weather, wheat cakes and jerky are difficult to preserve, and they will go bad in a few days.If a special method is used to evaporate the water, the storage time can indeed be extended, but the taste will be extremely poor.Its hardness is no different from gnawing a stone.

Let alone if there are no conditions, since there are conditions, Ye An will certainly not wrong himself.

Herds are reduced in the dry season, but not absent.Walking along the river, there will always be sporadic encounters.With the skill of the team members, there is no need to worry about not being able to catch the prey.

In addition, through communicating with the old man in Haicheng, Ye An is well aware of the risks at sea.The team members went out with him, and there was no guarantee that they would not get injured or get sick. Lily of the valley's targeted medicines were the most important thing, more important than anything else.

There is no food on the boat to catch fish, and Xiao Yun freezes when the fresh water is exhausted. Once sick or other conditions occur, there is no special medicine to survive, and the only way to survive is to wait for death.

It's not that Ye An never thought of inviting Lily of the Valley to go with him. After comprehensive consideration, he dismissed the idea.

After he left, there was no leader in Ancheng, and Linglan was needed to help sit in the town.

The old people are experienced and good at dealing with various forces, but they are not mutants.In a world where strength is the rule, the existence of mutants is a deterrent.

Lily of the Valley's plant ability is very powerful, and its combat effectiveness is not weak. Coupled with the identity of a pharmacist, it is enough to deter all forces, so that they dare not act rashly while Ye An is away, and can guarantee the safety of the delta to the greatest extent.

Lily of the Valley had no objection to Ye An's decision.As the original follower, she knew Ye An better than Uncle Qiang and Uncle Wang.Without saying anything, she could guess Ye An's intentions for such an arrangement.

"I will do my best to guard this city and wait for your safe return."

With Lily Lan's guarantee, Ye An let go of the last sliver of worry, quickly recruited people, and set off before the agreed date.

The convoy stopped outside the city, and the engine roared, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

The islanders knew that Ye An was going on a long journey, so they rushed out of the city to see him off, regardless of the hot weather.

Merchants were mixed among the islanders, looking at the long queue of convoys and seeing Ye An surrounded by the sound of farewell, they were very clearly aware of the significance of this Lord Ye to Ancheng.

The city is named after him because he exists.

No matter who dares to covet even a single cent of this place, they will be beaten to death.

Ye An waved to the crowd through the sunroof of the car, the sunlight fell on him like a layer of golden light.

The hot wind swept past, black hair flew in the wind, sweat soaked from the forehead and slid across the cheeks, the sincere smile did not diminish at all, and the black eyes reflected the figures of everyone, becoming more and more radiant.

The convoy left the island, and everyone saw each other off along the way.

Ruge, Mumian and others drove the wooden boat and carried the old people down the river until they reached a shallow stream and the boat could not continue, so they stopped one after another, waved at the convoy from the bow, and watched them go away.

Ye An looked at the people behind him through the car window until the figure of the other party disappeared completely, then he retracted his gaze and ordered the convoy to speed up.

"Yes, my lord!"

Racheva rolled down the car window, stretched out an arm, and waved the prepared pennant.

The rear car received the order and began to convey it one by one.

The modified car speeds up at the same time, galloping in the sweltering heat.

The wheels rolled over the dry river, and a large area of ​​yellow sand was splashed on both sides. The sand was mixed with a lot of grass clippings, which originated from the withered aquatic plants in the dry season.

Where the convoy passed by, the roar attracted the attention of the mutant beast.

Mutant beasts appeared from their hiding places one after another, looked at them from a distance, and watched the convoy leave.

On the sixth day of departure, the convoy entered the wilderness.

Unlike the delta, which is rich in water and grass, it is still surrounded by large rivers in the dry season. In the dry season, the wasteland is scorched with gold and rocks, the river is cut off, and there are dead trees and grass everywhere.

The hot wind blows, and the yellow sand is flying all over the sky.

Along the dry ponds and rivers, there are a large number of dead bones of animals.Mosquitoes flew over it, making a buzzing sound.They may be the only population that is not troubled by drought, but lives more and more nourishingly.

"My lord, there is no water around here." The team members who explored the road came back and informed Ye An of the situation ahead.

"To the east." Ye An caught the flying bird and knew that there was an undried mud pond a few kilometers ahead, where a large number of mutant beasts gathered.

The purpose of the convoy searching for water is not to drink, but to hunt.

During the dry season, a large number of mutant beasts will gather near the water source. Hunters like lions only need to guard a pond, and a steady stream of prey will come to their door.

Caravans must do the same to obtain fresh meat.

The order was conveyed, the vehicles that explored the road returned to the team, the driver of the vehicle in front stepped on the accelerator, and the team continued to move forward, driving to the pond discovered by the birds amidst the roar.
