"Xufeng, there shouldn't be any mistakes in our current direction, right?"
On the endless water, Hu Biao, who was standing next to Xu Feng, who was looking up to determine the current direction of travel, asked nervously.
The main reason is the compass.
It is neither an ultra-low value item nor a portable weapon and equipment.
Therefore, when we traveled through time this time, almost all of the standard compasses that the team had at hand were all deducted by the system.
As a result, Hu Biao could only rely on Xu Feng, an outdoor survival enthusiast with relatively rich experience in wild survival.
Or, veterans such as Qingshan and Xiling relied on some natural reference objects to adjust the angle of the rudder and the direction of travel from time to time.
After Hu Biao's inquiry, he finally determined the current direction according to the position of the Big Dipper above his head.
Xu Feng spoke sharply and comforted Hu Biao:
"I'm talking about Lao Hu! The direction we are going in is absolutely right. Don't worry too much about speed. If you really don't have enough time, we will just find a way when the time comes."
Yes, that's right! At this moment, Hu Biao was a little worried that he didn't have enough time.
When they come here this time, they can only stay in the default world for 15 days at most, no more, no less.
To be more precise, he was worried that after the 15-day deadline for coming this time, everyone was still floating on the water and failed to reach the target mountainous area in northern Guangdong.
This would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?
Not to mention the problem of whether the portal can be seen by the local subordinates; if 19 of them disappeared at once, there would be too much trouble later.
The main reason was that when more than 200 people landed on such a floating island together, they misjudged the speed of drift due to the heavy burden.
To put it more bluntly, this thing moves too slowly, which is a bit annoying.
According to Hu Biao's original estimate, there were only eight days left, which was not enough time for them to drift to the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong.
However, when this kind of drift speed appeared, which seemed to be slightly slower than walking, Hu Biao felt something bad.
Whenever there is wind, they will raise their sails.
When there was no wind, a group of gentlemen took turns paddling, and the speed of progress was not significantly improved.
After a moment of silence, Hu Biao gave a helpless new order:
"Lao Yang! Let everyone stop being idle. All adult men are divided into three shifts. Regardless of whether there is wind or not, they all row the oars. The faster you can, the faster~"
After hearing this, Yang Dongli's shouts began to sound, waking everyone up.
At this time, it was already the third day since everyone set out, and Hu Biao and the others had arrived at the tenth day of the doomsday world.
Based on the analysis of landmarks such as the hills above the water and the buildings along the way, they had just exited the Huadu District below Yangcheng, and there was still a long way to go.
Therefore, the current situation is not very optimistic.
The only thing that made the Zhongzhou team feel relieved was that after drifting a certain distance to the north, the temperature seemed to have dropped by a degree or two.
After arriving in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, it should be much cooler.
I guess it's still a bit hot, but it should be within the acceptance range of the Zhongzhou team's modern long-term players...
One day later, Hu Biao was hiding on a floating island, on a VIP bed that could block the scorching sun above his head, and he was falling asleep.
Suddenly, a warning voice came to my ears: "Old Hu, there's something going on~"
As soon as he heard this, Hu Biao suddenly felt excited all over.
The voice came from the AT. Because of his nimbleness and good spirits, this guy was assigned the job of climbing a tall mast and acting as a lookout.
As a result, several days later, this was the first time AT issued a warning. It must be no small matter.
Then, Hu Biao, barefooted, started galloping on the rickety deck. After several days, this kind of landlubber had become accustomed to this kind of life on the water.
Later, Hu Biao could see several DIY boats in the telescope lens, rowing desperately towards this side.
On each ship, there were seven or eight men, holding many sharp steel bars, bows and arrows and other DIY weapons, as well as a small number of rifles and pistols.
I don’t know what he was shouting, but I thought it was nothing more than a threat from the docked ship.
In fact, Hu Biao and the others had seen other human beings while drifting all the way over the past few days.
During this period, they also encountered mountains or buildings that were above the water, with people waving from them.
However, as they focused on heading north, Hu Biao and others avoided it at a distance.
Maybe after Hu Biao and others settle down in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, they will come back here again to conduct some trade and absorb people, but definitely not now.
However, it was definitely the first time for Hu Biao and the others to encounter armed men who were clearly trying to cause trouble.
After pondering for a while, Hu Biao shouted: "Original Sin, give them a warning. If they don't know better, everyone will open fire together.
Damn it! If I hadn’t been in such a hurry, I would have destroyed all these grandsons’ nests~”
Then, Original Sin's MG42 general-purpose machine gun fired directly.
Then, those grandsons became timid, and Hu Biao even looked a little aggrieved when he saw the eyes of those people under the lens of the telescope.
If you think about it carefully, these people may be approaching you just to get some benefits.
And such a benefit that allows them to leave may not be as valuable as the bullets in the original sin just now. As for...
Another day passed. Hu Biao squatted at the end of the floating island, holding his pants in one hand and grabbing a wooden board with the other. He felt that he must be looking stupid.
But there is no way! As long as a person is alive, eating and excretion are two themes that can never be avoided.
So, after holding it in for a few days, when my stomach couldn't hold it anymore, I could only defecate on the water in an awkward posture commonly used by the indigenous people.
Needless to say, such a process requires a bit of technical content, because as long as the arms are not tightened even slightly, the person will fall.
As for the consequences, yesterday a local friend slipped his hand and fell into the water.
By the time he was pulled up, one calf had been chewed to the bone; mainly there were many mutant fish with sharp teeth that had been following around the floating island, as if waiting for a meal.
And this unlucky guy will have to be on crutches for the rest of his life.
Another very depressing aspect of this method of excretion is that Hu Biao and the others failed to bring toilet paper this time.
When you're on the shore, you can also play with leaves and other things.
Once on the boat, you can only choose between a bucket of water and a wooden stick.
Fortunately, after Hu Biao completed such an unforgettable excretion, traces of ridges appeared in the distance in front of him.
Although it was not their destination in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, it was just some high mountains in the Qingyuan area in the past.
But this at least proves that they have less than half of the remaining journey...
After drifting day and night like this, they finally faintly saw a large range of mountains in the distance at noon on the 15th day, and the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong finally appeared.
The problem is that as the old saying goes, Lookout Mountain is a dead horse, not to mention that they are such a slow and leisurely floating island.
By the time the group found a place to dock and officially landed, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.
Thinking that they were going back soon, Hu Biao and others made arrangements in a hurry.
They threw away all the Garand automatic rifles, 38-guns, medium-sized rifles, bullets, all grenades, and the food they carried.
Five or six people, including Mazi, were also appointed to temporarily take charge of a team of more than 200 people.
Let them not rush to expand, but temporarily station nearby first.
Then Hu Biao and the others used the excuse that they had to work on a big thing and would not be able to come back until a month later.
Even in Kitahara Xiongji's explanation, when they return, the time of the apocalyptic world will freeze, and they will not find that it is completely different after they return.
The problem is, Hu Biao can't believe what the grandson says. He needs to be more careful and make more preparations.
After making arrangements, the group set off in a hurry. After finally finding an uninhabited area, the final time came.
The green portal in the system appeared with just a click of a swipe. Hu Biao and the others did not dare to waste any time and walked in one by one.
This thing is a bit tricky, it only lasts a minute.
