Back to the Wilderness

Chapter 7 Pathfinder

"Some people here are lucky."

Before Ji Fuyun sat down, he heard Xie Cheng say this.

Xie Cheng lowered his head and cut the thick poplar branches with a dagger, and continued: "Some people were buried in the belly of the beast as soon as they came here, and some people still don't know how terrible the living beast is."

Ji Fuyun silently glanced at Xie Cheng.Some people are not infinitely close to death, so they care so much about things other than life and death.

But is it really luck?The sky was dark, and Ji Fuyun couldn't see Xie Cheng's expression clearly, whether it was sympathy or indifference.

Ji Fuyun made He Zhongqing settle down and let her sleep on his lap, while he stared outside the cave entrance. From the gaps in the vines, he could faintly see the swaying branches outside. From time to time, there were people talking softly in the cave. Wandering up and down.

"Brother Fuyun, I'm so thirsty." He Zhongqing's low voice brought back Ji Fuyun's wandering thoughts.

Ji Fuyun was stunned, he had no water.

A black shadow flew towards him, Ji Fuyun hurriedly reached out to catch it, it was a bamboo tube, the sound of water sloshing was very pleasant in the darkness.

"If you don't dislike me, just drink it." Xie Cheng still lowered his head.

"Thank you." Ji Fuyun handed the bamboo tube to He Zhongqing.

He Zhongqing was not pretentious, and took a sip from the bamboo tube.The difference between men and women does not seem to be so important at this time.Of course, if you even have to worry about this, I'm afraid the water won't be able to drink.The water quality is extremely poor, and it also has a peculiar smell, and even sand remains in your mouth when you drink it.

"You don't want to drink some yourself?" Xie Cheng didn't pick up the bamboo tube Ji Fuyun sent back.

After hearing the words, Ji Fuyun thought about it, and still took a small sip, his lips were already cracked with thirst.

"No filtering?"

"It was simply filtered with cotton cloth." Xie Cheng said.

Limited by the environment, this is already the best way to deal with it.Ji Fuyun was silent, his eyes fell on Xie Cheng's non-stop moving hands.The trunks that are as thick as the forearm of an adult man are cut into a pointed shape, similar to a spear.

This will be their weapon.

Ji Fuyun was so engrossed that he didn't notice that Xu Caicai was staring at him and He Zhongqing viciously in the cave.

"Sister Ding Yun!" Xu Caicai gritted her teeth, and complained to the woman in a blue dress next to her, "Look at that little vixen, she actually drank Brother Xie's special water!"

Ding Yun chuckled, showing some white teeth, "Caicai, that's still a child."

"Where is the child!" Xu Caicai was dissatisfied, and gouged out He Zhongqing's charming little face in disgust, "Look at those fox eyes, they are always crying, thinking that you are sister Lin!"

Ding Yun looked at He Zhongqing, it was pitch black, only vague figures could be seen.I don't know how Xu Caicai saw a pair of fox eyes.

She laughed helplessly, and comforted: "Xie Cheng won't like this type of girl."

"That's true." Xu Caicai was so happy that she finally lay down on the ground with satisfaction and was ready to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Cheng called Ji Fuyun up.

Ji Fuyun who woke up was a little annoyed, he shouldn't have fallen asleep without any vigilance.

Before He Zhongqing woke up, Ji Fuyun left lightly and walked towards Xie Cheng who was handing out crude weapons last night at the entrance of the cave.

Xie Cheng was not surprised by Ji Fuyun's actions, and directly gave him a wooden spear.I don't know if Zhang Shijie told him about Ji Fuyun's joining.

Ji Fuyun glanced at the few people who were exploring the road together, most of them were physically strong, and the thinnest person could be considered to be in good shape in the contemporary society where sub-health prevails.The game player named Qin Hao didn't participate, he was too thin.

Xie Cheng raised his hand, and the crowd quieted down, listening attentively to Xie Cheng's speech.

"Fang Wei, here are some wooden spears, you and Zhao Xueyi are holding them. You don't need to look for food, as long as you protect the people in the cave."

The brawny man who watched the night together last night nodded.

After Xie Cheng instructed Fang Wei, he walked up to Ji Fuyun and his party, his expression became serious: "Danger is certain, but no matter what happens, I hope everyone can stay calm. I already have a general understanding of your abilities, so I Commander, please don’t be disgusted. They are just beasts, there is no need to be afraid.”

Everyone has no objection.They know Xie Cheng's ability better than Ji Fuyun.

"En." Xie Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

They didn't set off immediately, but led by Xie Cheng to collect clean water.

There are several lush poplar trees and banyan trees around the cave, some of which are fresh and tender branches covered with several plastic bags, which contain the water vapor transpired from the leaves overnight, very few, and collected the only ten plastic bags they have, It only collected half of the water in the bamboo tube.But fortunately, the water is clean and non-toxic, and it can save lives at critical moments.

The weather in this world is very similar to late spring in the subtropical monsoon climate zone, with cool mornings and evenings and warm middays.

At this time, the sun has just emerged, and the red light renders this strange world like a dream.Xie Cheng glanced at the direction where the sun was rising, and then walked in the opposite direction.

After turning over several gentle hills, Xie Cheng and the others came to a savannah. The green carpet stretched all the way, as if reaching the end of the sky. Occasionally, small palm forests were sparsely dotted, and the low bushes were low-key. growing in the corner of the grassland.As far as the eye can see, the sky is high and the earth is wide.The cleanliness and purity between the sky and the earth give people a heroic sense of measuring the distance between the sky and the earth.

——If, this is a trip.

There are no dense forests to hide in the grasslands. Animals tend to grow in size in order to survive, often two or three meters high, which is extremely dangerous for Xie Cheng and the others.

But the grassland also has the benefits of the grassland, with a wide and clear view. They can find the traces of wild beasts in a long distance, so they can respond calmly, and will not cause a tragic situation of being surrounded by wild beasts and being caught off guard.

Xie Cheng looked ahead, and said lightly: "We can see a forest when we pass through this grassland, and then we can reach the safe zone through the forest."

"Cross this prairie?" A middle-aged man exclaimed in disbelief, "Oh my God, how is this possible? How many beasts will we encounter here? Let alone a few of us, even dozens of people! Hundreds Personal! It is impossible to travel through the past!"

Xie Cheng looked calm and said, "It's not as difficult as you imagined."

The middle-aged man stared at Xie Cheng suspiciously with a look of disbelief.

Xie Cheng smiled nonchalantly, and asked, "Have you ever played a game or fought a boss?"

The middle-aged man didn't know what Xie Cheng meant by asking this question, but he still nodded. He was good at playing games when he was young.

"Big bosses have their own territories, which are distinct from other bosses. Moreover, after being destroyed, they will be refreshed after a while." Xie Cheng squinted at the middle-aged man, "I mean, do you understand?"

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed a few times, and his body shook suddenly, "You mean...you mean..."

Xie Cheng nodded.

"We will not encounter groups of large beasts. We have enough time to clear the obstacles to the safe zone, and then lead the people in the cave to the safe zone before the beasts come back."

Ji Fuyun's heart also set off a huge wave. Xie Cheng's words were really unthinkable, but after thinking about it, this was originally a game world, and it was only normal that it fit the game settings.

As if feeling the thoughts in everyone's minds, Xie Cheng explained: "Don't get caught up in the horns. Rather than saying that this is the game world, it is better to say that the game is set according to this world. You think this is unscientific, yes To accommodate the game settings, but in fact the game is imitating the rules of this world, here, any unscientific things have their reason. So, don’t take it lightly.”

What Xie Cheng said made people even more puzzled.On the one hand, he emphasized that this is the game world, and beasts have their limitations.On the other hand, it emphasizes the reality and cruelty of this world, which makes people frightened.

Ji Fuyun lowered his head thoughtfully.Suddenly blessed to the heart, exclaimed: "This world is giving us a chance!"

From dinosaurs and saber-toothed tigers at the beginning to black bears later, despite the extreme danger, Ji Fuyun escaped.Looking at the search for a safe zone this time, it sounds difficult and almost impossible to complete.But if it is as Xie Cheng said, there is still hope for them.This world confines beasts, thus giving fragile humans a chance of survival.

Xie Cheng turned his head to look at Ji Fuyun, admiring him, "That's it. It's like this world has its own thoughts, treats us as toys, and sees us struggling in it. If we simply die, it would be too boring gone."

They are not playing the game, but the "game" is playing them.

"No..." The middle-aged man groaned and almost went limp.Everything he heard broke his previous worldview, and he didn't even know how to deal with all this absurdity, with such a strong sense of powerlessness.

"How did you come to this conclusion?" The questioner was a man in his 30s, with a stern, calm complexion and an extremely outstanding temperament.Ji Fuyun took a closer look and labeled this person as a powerful one.

Xie Cheng chuckled and said something very irresponsible: "Guess."

The man who asked the question was not annoyed, but fell silent, as if he was thinking about the truth of what Xie Cheng said.

"No matter what the truth is, we have to try to see it." Xie Cheng raised his voice, "I believe everyone knows how to choose between hiding and waiting for death."

Ji Fuyun nodded and agreed, "We don't need to guess what this world is. If what Xie Cheng said is true, then it is our luck and we should be thankful. If not, we have nothing to lose, we have already come here, rather than being like a Headless flies, it is better to choose a direction and go all the way."

The unsmiling 30-year-old man flicked the wooden spear in his hand, held the tail of the spear with his right hand, and pointed forward while holding the wooden spear steadily: "Beasts, come and kill one by one, come in a group, and kill as many as you can."
