Back to the Wilderness

The night is deep and cold, and even the speed of the moonlight seems to be slowed down by freezing.

More than 70 people were crowded together, sitting in the narrow cave with their legs bent. The men and women were separated from each other, leaving a path in the middle that could only allow one foot to walk through.They fell asleep with their backs to each other and their heads leaning against each other. This position was not comfortable, but for this group of fugitives who had been running around all day, being able to close their eyes in peace was already a great blessing.

The watchmen tonight are Xie Cheng, Ye Feisheng, Huangfu Yixiu and Zhou Qiming, almost the strongest force of the two teams.The location of this cave is very close to a water source, which also means great danger, as wild animals will come out to look for food and water at any time.The four people were scattered around the entrance of the cave, their figures hidden in the darkness.No one knows where they are except their companions.

They don't like to walk back and forth like other night watchmen. For them, the silent night is more conducive to hearing the wind and grass.

Despite the harsh environment, the people in the cave slept peacefully under the protection of these powerful four people.

Except Ji Fuyun.

He should be dreaming, a very bad nightmare.He frowned tightly, his face was faintly pale, anxiety, sadness, anger, and worry all ran across his face, and he even clenched his fist unconsciously.

"Teacher!" Ji Fuyun called out in a low voice, his body straightened up as if he had been shocked by an electric shock.

The eyes that opened suddenly could only see a piece of darkness, and all kinds of ups and downs of breathing and snoring sounded in his ears, so clear that Ji Fuyun felt a little unreal.

Gao Yiyang, who was leaning on Ji Fuyun's back, slumped down unconsciously because of Ji Fuyun's sudden movement. Ji Fuyun quickly supported him, preventing him from falling to the ground.After leaning the sleeping Gao Yiyang on his shoulder again, Ji Fuyun gradually regained the ability to think.

Ji Fuyun could feel the cold sweat on his hands wet a piece of Gao Yiyang's coat, he wiped it casually on his trouser legs, the sweat was wiped off, but the coldness persevered into his bones.

His eyes were as dark as the night.

Scenes of the dream kept replaying in his mind. Ji Fuyun knew it was just a dream, but he still couldn't prevent the negative emotions in the dream from breaking through and affecting reality.

Unable to sleep anymore, Ji Fuyun stayed up until dawn with his eyes open.

The sun showed its edge from the east, the rays of light were bright orange, the sky was clear, and there were occasional cumulus clouds, which was a sign of good weather.

Ji Fuyun wanted to go out to get some air, but Gao Yiyang pressed his shoulders, and Old Wang, who didn't sleep well, also pressed his back from behind.

It wasn't until Xie Cheng came to call everyone that Ji Fuyun moved his joints.

"Why so early?" Gao Yiyang was still a little confused, and asked Xie Cheng with his eyes closed.

Xie Cheng patted him on the back, and Gao Yiyang immediately woke up with a jolt.

"Get up, let's start early." Xie Cheng shouted a few more times, and then everyone in the cave woke up.

"It's so early..." They complained habitually, but they had to get up with difficulty. The uncomfortable sleeping position all night made their legs and shoulders numb.

Walking out of the cave, the cold wind blows in front of me, and I don't feel sleepy at all.

Although the weather is good, it cannot prevent the temperature from dropping sharply.Before, they could rely on their physical strength to sleep directly on the grassland, but tonight was probably too much. According to this trend, in a few days, they might no longer be able to bear the low temperature at night.

The itinerary must be expedited!Otherwise, even if it is not starving to death, it will be frozen to death.

They set off without breakfast. In fact, it was also because there was no breakfast. There were only a few large kippers left, which were only enough for Xie Cheng's team to eat three or four meals.The food of Ye Feisheng's team was also not optimistic. He even lit a fire this morning, trying to attract moth birds but failed.Come to think of it, winter has really arrived.

The four people who watched the night last night did not show any signs of fatigue.But Ji Fuyun still threw them the few wild fruits left over from yesterday. Others can skip breakfast, but the four of them kept a high level of vigilance all night, which was a lot of consumption. Although it didn't show up, it doesn't mean it can be ignored past.

"Thank you." Xie Cheng and Zhou Qiming were not polite to him, but Huangfu Yixiu thanked him gratefully.

Ye Feisheng squinted at Ji Fuyun for a while, the corners of his mouth curled up: "What's your name?"

"Ji Fuyun."

"Little Yunduo, thank you for the apple."

Ji Fuyun said blackly, "That's not an apple."

"Oh, never mind, anyway, thanks for the apples."

Ji Fuyun turned around and left, this psychopath said yesterday that he would goug out his eyes, if he can't afford it, he should just hide.

The mountains and forests are rugged, so the team decided to go out of the mountains first, and it is faster to travel on the grassland.

They are used to the sudden changes in temperature and scenery as they often travel in various terrains such as mountains and plains. The people who were shocked by the magnificent and strange scenery at the beginning have long been calm.

However, directions can often be confusing.

Xie Cheng would determine the direction every five or six hours.

Ye Feisheng raised his hands, his narrow eyes filled with a strong smile: "Xie Cheng, you don't need to trouble yourself, just follow us and you won't go in the wrong direction."

Xie Cheng folded his hands, waiting for Ye Feisheng to continue.

But Ye Feisheng had no intention of explaining at all, and also folded his hands, because his proud eyes narrowed slightly, which was a bit charming.

In the end, Huangfu Yixiu couldn't stand it anymore, and pointed to a man in his 30s in his team, "His name is Chen Ge, and he has won the Swedish five-day orienteering championship for ten consecutive years."

Only then was Xie Cheng satisfied, and he really didn't waste time on determining the direction.

Five-day orienteering, held every July in Sweden, is by far the largest orienteering competition in the world.Being able to win the championship for ten consecutive years in a competition that gathers all the orienteering masters in the world shows that Chen Ge's identification of direction is not only based on experience and some limited technological products, but more on instinct.

Yes, instinct.Some animals have this instinct, such as pigeons.Tests by relevant experts have proved that very few people also have this instinct. Obviously, Chen Ge belongs to this very few people, and he is still the best among the very few people.

Chen Ge didn't use this name at first, but it was after he discovered his special ability that he changed his name to Ge.

"In the future, I will also name my son Brother." Gao Yiyang mumbled to Lao Wang in a low voice, "From now on, no matter how awesome his boss is, he still has to obediently call him Brother. Hey, Brother Gao, come here... ...Brother Gao, let's go eat...you have a lot of face!"

Old Wang silently turned his head away, unable to look directly at him.

The boundless grassland and the rapid advance of a group of people seem to have no changes in this background.But when the sun sets again, if you look down from a high altitude, you can see that this group of people has advanced a long way.

They can even see the hills that lie ahead of the grassland.

"I'm going to climb the mountain again tomorrow." Everyone sighed helplessly. Although it is a hill, the absolute height is still more than 500 meters.

"Go to sleep well tonight and keep your spirits up."

Ji Fuyun immediately took He Zhongqing with him to find wild vegetables after setting up in the camp, and refused Chen Jia's company.

The two people searched carefully at the junction of the mountains and the grassland, but the expressions on their faces were exactly the same, tranced and absent-minded.

"Zhong Qing, did something happen to you?" Ji Fuyun asked suddenly.

Today's He Zhongqing is very strange, his eyes always fall on Ji Fuyun frequently, and he dare not let the other party leave him too far, this is very similar to He Zhongqing who came to this world at the beginning, lacking a sense of security, relying on Ji Fuyun infinitely.

In fact, since what happened to Zhang Shijie, He Zhongqing seemed to have grown up overnight, and she would not cling to Ji Fuyun all the time, and never cried again.I often take Zhao Lan and Xu Huihui to identify plants during the day, and I am not afraid of going to bed at night, so I sleep with them.Although he still often calls Fuyun brother Fuyun brother, but he is no longer as pitiful and cowardly as before.Ji Fuyun could feel that He Zhongqing was not alienating him, but becoming independent, or learning to be independent.

But today, He Zhongqing returned to the original state.

He Zhongqing raised her head and stared blankly at Ji Fuyun. One moment Ji Fuyun was thinking that Zhong Qing hadn't cried for a long time, but the next second she saw her eyes were red.

"I... dreamed about my father again..."

Ji Fuyun was silent, and stretched out his arms to embrace He Zhongqing.He knew that He Zhongqing would often dream of the scene where the teacher died at the mouth of a saber-toothed tiger, repeatedly tearing open the wound over and over again, which was really cruel for a little girl.

"It's different from previous dreams..." He Zhongqing choked up, "I dreamed that we didn't come to this ghost place, and Dad continued to attend the seminar."

Ji Fuyun's body froze.

He Zhongqing continued: "But the 'Fenghe' No. [-] was still not found. In the dream, it seemed to be snatched by bad guys, and even applied for a patent. Dad was very sad, and he never recovered. He also got...depression, and finally...suicide Already!"

He Zhongqing burst into tears, "I'm so uncomfortable, I saw my father jump off the building right in front of my eyes! I can't do anything! My father's hair is all white and full of blood..."

Ji Fuyun just patted He Zhongqing's back lightly, comforting her who started to speak incoherently.

He lowered his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be empty, but the hand holding He Zhongqing was trembling constantly.

Same!Like a dream!He Zhongqing's dream was exactly the same as his dream last night!

After a long time, Ji Fuyun continued to look for wild vegetables with a slightly calmer He Zhongqing, but until Xie Cheng came to find them, the harvest was still very little.Most of the only wild vegetables are water-deficient, dry and yellow, and the taste is very bad.

This phenomenon is undoubtedly telling everyone that there is an extreme shortage of food. As the temperature gets lower and lower, there are fewer and fewer wild vegetables that can be eaten. It is urgent to find the next safe zone as soon as possible.

Even if a safe zone is found, it is still unclear whether there will be enough food.

"Just get through the winter," Xie Cheng said.

Ji Fuyun nodded helplessly, he could still gnaw on the bark and roots if it was really impossible, and he could get through it.

When returning to the camp, Ji Fuyun accidentally caught Nixie's gaze, and his eyes couldn't help but turn cold.NiQiu's eyes were very calm, without hatred or madness, but Ji Fuyun still felt the pressure.

He wants to kill himself!Such a calm gaze reveals such a terrifying thing, making Ji Fuyun's scalp tingle.Obviously there is no hatred, but it has risen to a life-and-death dispute.It's just like……

Ji Fuyun thought for a long time but didn't come up with what to look like, so he could only ring the alarm in his heart.
