The morning glow rises, crystal dew condenses on the branches of green plants in the fields, and the chirping of birds and animals fills the endless forest sea.
It was a morning when everything was coming back to life. Everything in the world seemed to be full of life, but Tong Zhan was calmly burying five corpses in the forest, and even carefully spread the deodorant in the freezer along the pit.
.
On the roadside, the truck was already in flames.
Jiang Xin, Kaka, and Dr. Pang looked at the flames on the truck blankly, with an inexplicable negative emotion surging in their hearts.
For intellectuals living in a civilized society, it is really difficult for them to accept the rules of the deserted area, and they are constantly questioning Tong Zhan's decision-making in their hearts.
Compared with the three of them, Zhang Yunxi and Wei Wu were not too upset because one of them had already had such an experience, while the other was working at the grassroots level and was used to it.
kind of thing, so the mental acceptance ability should be slightly stronger.
However, these two people were also a little uncomfortable. They just felt that Bing Ge and others had surrendered and handed over the stolen money, but Tong Zhan's merciless attack was a bit too sudden and cold-blooded.
As for Zhu Qizhen, in his systematic thinking, there are only distinctions between good and evil, distance and danger, and danger levels, so he has no dissatisfaction with Tong Zhan's actions. After a systematic analysis, he felt that what the other party did was right.
of.
Everyone calmed down for a while, and the experienced Dr. Pang took the lead to calm down: "The boy did the right thing. He has been to the wilderness area, has experience, and has better judgment than us when encountering things! Since we chose him as the captain, we should listen
his!"
Jiang Xin nodded slowly and agreed with Dr. Pang's statement.
While several people were talking, Tong Zhan came back. He glanced at Kaka, reached out and took out a bottle of water from his bag, and handed it over.
Kaka came back to his senses and looked at him with a pale face.
"Are you afraid that I'll poison you?" Tong Zhan asked expressionlessly.
Kaka took the water, unscrewed the bottle cap and replied: "Thank you... I can adjust it myself!"
One sentence is enough to explain Kaka's state of mind. If this group of people can be recognized by the seminary in the professional field, then there is no character with low IQ. Although Kaka was a little unable to accept Tong Zhan's change, at this moment he also knew that he
What you do is right.
People always have to go through a process of acceptance and adaptation.
Tong Zhan patted Kaka on the shoulder, turned to look at everyone and said, "Let's go!"
"Walking?" Wei Wu asked.
"Yes, these smugglers are gone, and the news will spread soon." Tong Zhan nodded and responded: "Near the entrance to the deserted area, their peers are active, so we must try to avoid contact with these people!
Let’s walk first, grab the equipment Jiang Xin bought, and then look for a supply camp to rest.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhu Qizhen nodded.
"Let's go!" Tong Zhan greeted everyone.
…
The long journey has officially begun.
Tong Zhan led everyone to wander among the hidden woods, heading southwest with the help of the paper map he brought with him.
On the road.
Zhang Yunxi may have been affected by the incident involving Bing Ge and others. He has been walking at the front of the team, silent, and seemed a bit too quiet.
Tong Zhan observed him for a while, then took the initiative to come over and ask, "Are you still thinking about the snakehead?"
Zhang Yunxi turned to look at him and grinned: "A little bit."
Tong Zhan was wearing a sun protection cloak and while exploring the path with a wooden stick, he said softly: "Zhang Yunxi, do you understand your situation now?"
Zhang Yunxi was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"
"The changes in your body are a dilemma for you, but for others, they may be a walking fortune." Tong Zhan turned to look at him and said very calmly: "The Liu family's matter, Xu Taiyin's matter,
It will definitely happen again! If your attitude is just to live one day at a time and take it one step at a time, then you may not be able to get out of the wilderness."
Zhang Yunxi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
"For homeless people like you and me, we have to rely on ourselves when we encounter difficulties!!" Tong Zhan said succinctly: "You only have one life, do you want to use it to gamble on the humanity of criminals?! To put it simply
Tell me, you and I are not qualified to be indecisive! For example, Kaka and Jiang Xin were captured by the smugglers. Their families have money, so they can still pay the ransom! Dr. Pang himself also has capital, and Wei Wu also has a wife.
Even Zhu Qizhen has the value of being sold for parts! But what do you and me have? Nothing! If you are going to die, just bury it here, and everything will be zero!"
Zhang Yunxi nodded unconsciously when he heard this.
"I'm not saying this to let you use your body's changes to do evil!" Tong Zhan said softly: "I just want to tell you that no one can help people like us! It's better to have the initiative in your own hands!"
"Thank you." Zhang Yunxi is not a fool. He can understand what Tong Zhan means and knows that the other party is doing his best.
"After passing the forest in front, the network signal and communication signal basically disappeared." Tong Zhan frowned and said: "Our team can only rely on the local area network set up by Jiang Xin!! Be careful with everything!"
"Understood!" Zhang Yunxi was told by Tong Zhan, and his emotions were released: "How long will it take to get to Mangshan Mountain!"
"Under normal circumstances, we can get there in two days." Tong Zhan replied: "But something happened now. We have to walk for about two days. We first go to the supply camp near Mangshan 065 area, rest there for a while, and then enter the mountain!
It takes about five days in total.”
"ok!"
After the two chatted, Tong Zhan continued to lead the way.
On the way to the supply camp, everyone traveled during the day and set up tents in the forest to rest late at night.
At first, everyone was a little depressed because of Bing Ge's incident, but the deeper they went, the more they adapted to the environment here.
What is a deserted area?
It was really a deserted place, surrounded by large woods, meadows, and dilapidated and cracked roads. Looking up, you could see no human activity at all.
The night before arriving at the supply camp, Zhang Yunxi and Tong Zhan went out alone to pick up a shipment. It was the "materials" Jiang Xin purchased at the adventurer camp. It included six sets of human defense light armor and a small amount of cl-20 explosives.
, three sets of arm armor, as well as a large number of photon beam cannon chargers, improved barrels and other "killing weapons"!
These restricted weapons are difficult to buy in the area, but they can be purchased at the adventurer camp, but the delivery location must be in a deserted area.
Zhang Yunxi and Tong Zhan were afraid of being watched, so they deliberately walked a long way and walked for three hours to arrive at the pick-up location. After picking up the goods, they asked Jiang Xin to pay the balance at a place with a communication signal.
The adventurer camp has a reputation level, so this kind of transaction through the platform generally rarely involves cheating on the spot, because the equivalent currency is mortgaged in the platform, and you can't rob anyone just by robbing someone.
, the most they can do is remove a kidney or something to make a small fortune, but Zhang Yunxi and Tong Zhan are both good at running away, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to keep up with them.
Early the next morning, the two returned to the camping site with their equipment. After giving everyone new equipment, they rushed to the first supply camp together.
This camp is privately owned, but it has a business license issued by the joint management and control department, and the name of the camp is also very interesting, it is called Tongfu Inn Supply Camp.
…
At around nine o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived outside the supply camp at Tongfu Inn.
Before arriving, Jiang Xin, Zhang Yunxi and others thought that this place must be at least similar to a commercial hotel, and at the very least it must be a hotel-level reception venue! After all, this is a place where the control unit has issued a business license. Why?
It has to look like something! But who would have known that when you look at it on site, it looks like a refugee camp.
At the end of a cracked road, there is a courtyard surrounded by iron fences. Inside, there are two rows of bungalows and a three-story building!
There are very simple car gas stations, mechanical repair cabins, and dirty square guest rooms in the courtyard.
The toilet is open-air, and the stench can be smelled ten meters away from the gate. The plaque at the entrance of the courtyard is made of a steel plate welded with the words "Tongfu Inn Supply Camp" crookedly written on it.
"This is a government-run enterprise?!" Wei Wu said in disbelief: "This is too primitive!"
"Bullshit government-run enterprise! If there are people above you can do it." Tong Zhan replied calmly: "Let's make do with it and buy some supplies! If there are too many people inside after a while, we will withdraw. If there are few people, we can take a rest!"
Dr. Pang, wearing a straw hat, asked in a low voice: "We don't have a formal identity here, will we be investigated?"
"If we check, everyone here has problems!" Tong Zhan replied with a smile: "Anyone who dares to open a store like this must have taken care of it."
"That'll do!"
"Let's go!" Tong Zhan led everyone into the dilapidated compound.
The lowest-level AI robot whose paint was washed away by the rain at the door politely shouted: "Welcome to Tongfu Inn!"
"Hey, you're quite polite!" Wei Wu muttered with a smile.
Everyone walked towards the third floor, where two people wearing dirty blue work clothes ran out, smiled and greeted everyone: "Hey, welcome, how many are there?! Stay overnight or have a meal?"
"Seven!"
"You don't have a car, right? Come on, come inside!" A middle-aged man on the left, lame and covered in oil, greeted everyone.
A group of seven people walked into the three-story building. As soon as they entered the lobby, they saw four tables of guests inside.
Tong Zhan frowned unconsciously and whispered to the middle-aged man: "Is there a place on the second floor?"
"No, they are being renovated! Can you sit by the window?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile: "It's cooler and more ventilated downstairs!"
"Okay!" Tong Zhan nodded.
After the words fell, a group of seven people sat near the window on the right.
"Ouch, I'm starving to death!" Wei Wu wiped the sweat from his head, turned around and asked, "What can you do here?"
"There is a menu on the wall, you can take a look at it!" The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Xiao Hong, come here and serve some herbal tea to these guests!"
After Tong Zhan sat down, he looked up to the front left. There were eight people sitting there, both men and women. The one sitting at the head was a dwarf less than 1.5 meters tall. He had short dreadlocks and looked very strange.
Fashion.
Wei Wu also raised his head and glanced at the crowd, and whispered: "There are a lot of people here!"
The dwarf turned around and glanced at Zhang Yunxi with a smile, then poured the cup of tea on the ground in a very poor manner.
The water stain just hit Jiang Xin's right leg. She frowned and glanced at the person behind her, but didn't say a word.
"Little sister, what are you doing here?! To make quick money?" the dwarf asked obscenely: "Do you want my brother to take care of your business?"
"Did you eat shit? You have such a bad mouth!" Zhang Yunxi turned around and cursed.
"hehe!"
The dwarf smiled, turned around and said nothing.
Just then, a greasy man at the window on the left raised his head and shouted: "Little Earth Dragon!! I don't like you!"
"Damn, that doesn't bother you either!" the dwarf replied.
"Haha, it's almost the same!" The greasy-looking strong man stood up and shouted with his hands behind his back: "Let's go out and chat?"
"What's there to talk about?" The dwarf refused directly: "It's just one piece of money, and you still have to pay 800 per person?!"
