In the wilderness 700 kilometers west of City No. 10, members of the parent-teacher meeting were rushing all night.
"So hungry," someone whispered.
"So too." Someone responded in a low voice.
The mountains were filled with shadows, and 381,241 members of the parent-teacher meeting were divided into thousands of columns, and they were dispersed into small groups and slowly moved among the mountains.
In order not to be discovered by satellites, they chose to walk at night and hide in the shade of trees during the day.
They also have E-level standards per capita, but the difficulty of Shu Road in the southwest is unimaginable.
The journey that a Long March is not about walking more than two thousand kilometers on flat ground.
Walking southwest from the Central Plains, you need to pass through countless rivers, valleys, and peaks.
When encountering an impassable landform, you still need to detour a long way to find a suitable place to pass.
The straight line is 2,300 kilometers, but if the rugged terrain is expanded, it is probably more than 7,000 kilometers.
They had just walked more than 600 kilometers and many people's shoes were rotten.
The feet were rotten, too.
This is still a relatively easy road to Central Plains.
Next, they could only walk barefoot on the uneven mountain road, stepping on dead branches and pine needles, but they still couldn't stop after the soles of their feet were rotten.
Some people started to escape, with more than 300 kilometers of mountain roads defeating the faith of many families, 381,241 people turned into 324,109 people.
There will definitely be more people who escape in the future.
The parent meeting expanded too quickly. Some people have not experienced wars and disasters. They just expressed their determination to join the parent meeting after observation.
But the problem is that some determination will be destroyed, and some people's beliefs are not firm.
Sometimes Qingchen would think that in fact, the parent meeting really needed a training to eliminate those who could not get on the battlefield by washing away the sand with great waves.
It’s like putting a steel billet in a stove and burning it red, then knocking away impurities one by one, making it into a steel knife.
Xiaoqi and Luo Wanya and other core members mixed in the crowd. After avoiding the first day of black magic, they quietly returned to the team and led the team silently.
Luo Wanya counted the number of people and frowned.
Xiaoqi said from the side: "We can use the key gate to transport some supplies, so that everyone will not be so difficult. Even if we cannot provide food for more than 500,000 people, it is okay to transport a batch of strong and durable labor protection shoes."
Luo Wanya shook his head: "The boss said in advance that Qingshi has more important things. He cannot provide us with material help, and everything depends on himself. We must follow the planned route and reach the target area within 28 days before we can stop there."
Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment: "This time, the parents asked us to give up the key gate completely. Why is this?"
Luo Wanya shook his head: "I don't know."
Xiaoqi said: "If you use the key gate, at least half of the people can evacuate faster, or even directly cross the Mianchi Bridge on the Chunlei River."
Luo Wanya was happy: "Do you blame the boss?"
Xiaoqi muttered: "Don't exaggerate me. I'm either unable to endure hardship or a little confused. Parents are easy-going people and will not be disobeyed."
Luo Wanya said: "As long as everything is done, he will definitely have his considerations and keep moving forward."
On the way, there were family members who were skillful and skillful to weave straw sandals for everyone, but only those who had worn straw sandals could understand that modern people would feel unbearable pain when wearing straw sandals, and their ankles were worn out, and the straw sandals slowly turned red and dried up black.
The hands of those who weave straw sandals were also worn out, but they still insisted. Someone advised them not to make up, and they would smile and say, "If your hands are rotten, they will not delay moving forward, but if your feet are rotten, they will not be able to continue moving forward."
However, the most difficult thing on the road is not the mountain road, but also hunger.
What does hundreds of thousands of people mean? Even if they are scattered into the mountains, it is difficult to rely on their own abilities to find food.
At the beginning, many people had an optimistic idea that they could go to the mountains and catch wild game and dig wild vegetables. The materials in nature were so rich that they could always find food.
If it really doesn't work, everyone will eat the bark.
However, the reality is that the huge number of people is a disaster for any ecological environment.
They will find that if you get one point of the game you catch, you can get one bite at most, or even one hundred people can get one bite.
At most one percent of the plants on the road are edible.
The people in front of the team can still eat the bark, but the people behind them can't even eat the bark.
Finally, everyone started eating insects, but the sequelae was vomiting and diarrhea, and many people even had fever and became sick.
If you enter the mountains alone, have a strong body, and have experience in survival in the wilderness, then it should be no problem to survive.
But if you go in with hundreds of thousands of people, it will be very difficult for everyone.
Rugged mountain roads, hunger, and disease, they live like modern people.
During the day, everyone stayed in the shade of trees to rest. Sometimes there would be sobbing sounds in the crowd, first one crying alone, then a group of people cried together.
I woke up and cried, and fell asleep when I was tired.
I don’t know when this kind of day will end.
Luo Wanya leaned against the tree and silently watched the sunlight pouring from the gap in the tree canopy on his face: "Xiaoqi, what did you do before?"
"Unemployed vagrant," Xiaoqi said with a smile, chewing the grass leaves beside him: "Every day, you just jump around, worry-free."
"I was a gangster before I traveled through time and did everything. When I was smuggling to Japan, I hid in the cabin of Snake Head. When it was time to start eating, Snake Head opened the warehouse and poured a pot of white porridge directly on the ground. Then all the smuggling people went to grab it together," Luo Wanya recalled: "For the sake of that little porridge, everyone had to pick up the white porridge from the ground with their bloody hands and eat it."
Luo Wanya: "The days were so hard that time. I swear in the warehouse that when I made a fuss, I would kill the snake head first, but then before I could make a fuss, the snake head was stabbed to death..."
Luo Wanya: "However, the suffering that was at that time was meaningless. Although the suffering now was more painful than that time, I felt it was meaningful."
"If you are hungry, eat some grass, don't be nagging here," Xiaoqi couldn't laugh or cry.
Luo Wanya: "...will we starve to death on the road?"
However, at this moment, the family members in charge of the investigation in front suddenly ran back: "Lao Luo!Lao Luo!"
Luo Wanyateng stood up and said, "What's wrong?! Is there any enemy situation?"
"Ah, no, there's someone waiting for us in front!" said the family member: "And, he said he's been waiting for us for several months!"
Luo Wanya and Xiaoqi looked at each other and were a little confused.
Did you meet a charlatan? I knew a few months ago that the team at the parent-teacher meeting would be forced to evacuate and pass by here?!
Even they themselves couldn't think of it, who could have thought of it in advance?
"Where is the person?" Xiao Qi asked.
"It's been controlled," said the family, "It seems like an ordinary person. Several of us pressed him to the ground, but he said he wanted to see Luo Wanya."
"Hmm?" Luo Wanya frowned. This is not a trap.
He walked quickly, walked about three kilometers and saw a middle-aged man being pressed to the ground by several family members.
The other party didn't struggle, just waited quietly.
"Who are you?" Luo Wanya squatted beside him and said.
The middle-aged man looked up: "Shadow Force, No. E1333."
"Nonsense," Luo Wanya sneered: "I know all the people in the Shadow Force, and I have never seen you."
If it were people from the Shadow Force, then the other party had already come to Qingchen to worship the pier. How could there be any missing?
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am not a shadow force of this generation, but from the previous generation."
Luo Wanya and Xiaoqi were stupid. What generation, the previous generation, isn’t the shadow troops the only generation?
"Wait," Luo Wanya suddenly remembered something: "You are the old man?"
"That's right," said the middle-aged man with a smile.
Everyone was shocked. Qingshi actually had two shadow troops!
The previous generation of shadow troops gradually faded out of everyone's vision as Qingxun became the head of the family. Many people thought they were broken up and organized into various troops, but that was only part of them.
The old man still kept a small group of people who were most loyal and hid out of everyone's sight.
"How do you prove it?" Luo Wanya asked.
"No need to prove that I am not here to harm you," said the middle-aged man with a smile. "Four months ago, my department received an order to secretly transport supplies along the southwest mountain range. Since then, we have been waiting here."
"Ah?" Luo Wanya was stunned for a while: "Let him go, what are the supplies you are talking about?"
The middle-aged man twisted his wrist and neck, and said with a smile: "You'll know when you go with me."
While speaking, the middle-aged man led Luo Wanya and others to continue walking forward. After walking about a kilometer, he saw rows of boxes covered with dark green rainproof canvas in the hidden valley ahead.
Luo Wanya rushed up and opened the box, but saw boxes of vitamins, antibiotics, camouflage tin cloth, and only a small part of them were protein bars and compressed biscuits.
These foods, but they are spread to more than 300,000 people, are still a drop in the bucket, and are not enough to be stuck between the teeth.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't show a disappointed expression so quickly. It was already very urgent when we received the order. It would be difficult to find these materials quietly in four months and then transport them in quietly. Without mechanized equipment, it would be difficult to carry them here with manpower."
A family member muttered in a low voice: "Since you can know in advance, at least you can send more food..."
The middle-aged man continued, "The old man also said that these things are enough for you to hold your life. If there are people who can't stand it, just give him some food. The hardship and fatigue are something that your team must experience, but you don't have to die here because of this meaningless disease and bombing. Sibu is used to avoid searching for you in the airship, so as not to be bombarded."
Luo Wanya hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work, it's already very good, thank you very much!"
He was telling the truth. Someone suddenly gave supplies in this wilderness. This surprise was even more happy than usual to win a five million lottery. This is something that can save you!
Hunger can be withstood, but illness cannot be withheld.
However, Luo Wanya was a little confused. Is that old man too powerful? Why could the other party predict all this four months in advance?
This ability is like a god who is foresighted.
Previously, Qingchen also said his guess that the other party didn't even go out on Ginkgo Mountain, but it seemed that he had known what he would experience after being taken to A02 base by Shen Dai Yunhe.
That ability to predict the future is like... the God-like perspective of the drama master.
Too awesome.
The middle-aged man looked at Luo Wanya's puzzled look and said with a smile: "You don't have to look at me like this, and I don't know how the old man did it."
"When the old man knows that we will be forced to the Long March, he can prepare camouflage tinbu for the corresponding number of people, why didn't he warn of danger in advance?" Luo Wanya asked: "For example, black magic, the invasion of the Roosevelt Kingdom, and the betrayal of Li's family?"
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head: "How can I know this? We just obeyed the orders... But the old man said that if the ending of life is acceptable, then don't try to change it anymore, because you don't know if it will become better or worse, destiny is uncontrollable."
"I haven't asked yet, what do you call me?" Xiaoqi asked.
"Don't be so polite to use honorifics, just call me E1333," said the middle-aged man with a smile. "We have no names since the day we joined the shadow army. We do not marry, have children, do not have official positions, and do not have military ranks."
The members of the parent-teacher meeting were stunned. These people were the real shadows. They voluntarily gave up everything and were willing to become an inconspicuous brick in this era and the foundation of the Qing family building.
E1333 said: "Okay, you can receive supplies and we will evacuate. There should be many people in your team who are sick. Hurry up and send the medicine and look forward to the day of reunion in the southwest."
After saying that, hundreds of shadow troops in turf suddenly stood up in the mountains and fields. They had been here for four months and were finally able to retreat.
Luo Wanya watched the shadow troops jumping away in the forest and suddenly said, "There seems that there are many things we don't know in this world. However, the old man specially sent a unit to guard here, afraid that we will die... Does this mean that we will be quite important one day in the future."
At this time, Fang was finally responsible for the rear guard of the palace and ran over: "No, Li's floating airship is here to search for us!"
