Chapter 2521 Brand new ashes (two chapters in one)
For the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, the place that impressed him most was the desert.
Previously, he traveled around the desert, but suffered a lot.
After so many days, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw the desert again.
He subconsciously thought of the water bottles in his backpack. Now he only had two water bottles on him. He was going around the desert. Only two water bottles made people feel unsafe.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought for a moment and decided to prepare a few more water bottles before going around the desert.
Fortunately, he had seen some plants with gourds growing on them before, so he could pick them off and turn them into kettles to fill with water.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead made a decision in his mind and immediately started to take action. He quickly walked forward.
The closer we get to the desert, the drier the air becomes. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead can clearly feel that the moisture in the air has decreased a lot.
After walking for more than ten kilometers, the sky became gray and a lot of dust was floating in the air.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead paused for a moment, then he took out a water bottle from his backpack, drank some water, then took out a scarf, covered his mouth and nose, and then continued to move forward.
The desert is getting closer and closer, and sand dunes hundreds of meters high can already be seen in the distance.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, finally arrived at the edge of the desert near noon.
The vast desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and crossing such a desert alone is extremely dangerous.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead chose to go around the desert as before, but now he had to prepare some water bottles.
Looking around, he quickly saw a forest based on his memory.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked toward the woods and came to the outermost edge of the woods. He saw several fruit trees growing wild fruits.
I picked one and stuffed it into my mouth, and the sweet and sour juice burst out in my mouth.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly picked some wild fruits and stuffed them into his backpack, then continued walking into the woods.
A few minutes later, he came to a bush. The bushes were black in color, and gourds grew on the branches. The gourds were also black, but lighter in color.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came here for these gourds. He reached out and picked some gourds, and then made them into kettles.
The whole process is very simple and doesn't take much time.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly made five kettles. Then he tied the kettles with a vine and carried them away.
There was no water source nearby, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead began to circle along the desert.
His stomach growled. Although he was hungry, he didn't stop.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was thinking about waiting until he reached the nearest water source before stopping to rest.
…………
At the edge of the desert, most of the vegetation grows very low due to climate reasons.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked along the edge of the desert and soon saw a place covered with shrubs.
"It's finally here."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead remembered that there was a water source deep in the bush. He walked forward quickly and entered the bush. When he was blocked by some thorns, he immediately waved the weapon in his hand to cut off the thorns.
"Crash..."
As soon as he walked a certain distance forward, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead heard a familiar voice.
When he came to the place where the sound appeared, he saw a clear spring.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead squatted down, reached out to hold up some water, and took a few sips. He was very satisfied with the sweet spring water.
Although it has been such a long time, the water quality of this clear spring has not changed at all, and the water volume is still abundant.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened his backpack, took out his two original water bottles, poured the water out, and then filled it with the sweet spring water in front of him.
The five water hyacinths made not long ago were filled with water one after another.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead now has seven water bottles filled with water, which is a very important guarantee for him to make a detour on the edge of the desert later.
"Gululu..."
After finishing the things at hand, my stomach growled again.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, patted his belly and took out some dry food from his backpack.
Although the taste of these dry foods is pretty good, they are actually a bit greasy after eating them for so long.
If the current conditions are not good, we can only make do with what we have. The food will not improve until we return to our companions.
Of course, compared with the dishes produced in restaurants in the city, it is still far behind.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ate dry food and enjoyed the coolness brought by the occasional breeze blowing on his body.
Time passed and after filling his stomach, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took a short rest and immediately packed up his things and set off again.
Now he has to go to the next location as soon as possible. According to the original itinerary plan, he will only be safe when he reaches the next location and rests at night.
After all, the place we were in now was very desolate, and there were many strange animals wandering around at night. The location where we stayed before was safer than other unfamiliar places, so we had to race against time to reach the predetermined location.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the bushes and walked away quickly.
Next to it is an endless desert, and the wind blowing in the desert blows up a lot of yellow sand.
The yellow sand all over the sky turned the blue sky gray, and also made the clothes of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead very dirty.
Fortunately, he has adapted to this environment, otherwise he might have to stop and rest before continuing on his way.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead followed the route in his memory and finally arrived at his destination just as the sun was about to set.
The plants at the edge of the desert are not lush and there are fewer trees.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead arrived at the place where there were more than a dozen trees growing. The leaves of these trees were gray, and the open branches were like umbrellas, forming a large shade under the trees.
.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had spent the night here when he was going around the desert. When he returned now, he chose to settle in this place because he thought that the probability of encountering danger during the night here would be smaller.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, walked toward a tree in the distance that was more than ten meters high and had gray leaves.
When he came to the bottom of the tree, he unexpectedly found the ashes of a campfire under the tree.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, squatted down, reached out and pinched some ashes and rubbed them with his fingers.
"This ashes is quite new. Those who rested here before should not have left for more than two days."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead frowned slightly. The place where he was now was very desolate. In addition, this was not a route that the caravan must pass. Logically speaking, there should be no people in this place.
"Forget it, why do I think so much? The top priority now is to clean up this place quickly and have a good rest."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought for a while, then shook his head and put aside some unanswered thoughts.
He put his backpack under the tree and went around to collect burning branches.
The sun in the sky gradually disappeared, and night enveloped the earth.
Many stars appeared in the dark night sky, and the bright moon hung in the sky, pouring silvery moonlight on the earth.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead lit a bonfire. At this moment, he was sitting under the tree with his back against the big tree, holding a kettle in his hand and taking a sip from time to time.
The edge of the desert was so dry that my mouth became dry after a while.
If you don't drink water for a long time, your lips will become dry and cracked.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead put away the kettle, grabbed the weapon beside him with his right hand, and then looked at the low grass in the distance.
"Shashasha..."
There is no wind now, but the grass sways from time to time and makes some noise.
A huge mouse emerged from the grass. When it saw a pair of eyes staring at it, it was frightened. Then it put it back into the grass and ran away quickly.
There was a fire here just now, attracting the mouse's attention. It came to take a look out of curiosity, but now it was scared away by the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, and disappeared without a trace in a few seconds.
"It turned out to be a gerbil."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, saw the rat's appearance, and his vigilance was temporarily lifted.
This kind of rat that lives on the edge of the desert, even if it awakens and becomes a strange beast, it will basically not be that strong.
For the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, no amount of gerbils could pose a threat to him.
As time went by, the night became darker and darker. There was no wind just now, but now the wind picked up.
The whistling wind caused the surrounding vegetation to sway, making a continuous noise.
The noisy sounds in front of him made the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead remember that he had passed by here before.
He added some dry branches to the bonfire in front of him and murmured to himself.
"I hope there won't be a sandstorm, otherwise I won't be able to have a good rest at night."
…………
In the dim living room, a white light suddenly appeared and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Fei's figure appeared out of thin air. He spent a whole day in the spirit world today. Although he didn't feel tired, he still lay down on the sofa as soon as he got home and squinted for a while.
Ten minutes later, Lin Fei stood up from the sofa and reached out to pick up the TV remote control placed on the coffee table.
The TV is turned on and the movie channel appears.
Today Qisehua and Little Sparrow stayed at home and watched movies. Although they planned to watch movies all day at first, in the afternoon, they couldn't stay any longer, so they turned off the TV and went out.
Lin Fei changed the TV channels. After the news channel appeared, the beautiful news host began to broadcast the current hot news.
"According to the latest news received by this station, the wild boar and exotic beast discovered yesterday has been killed by the alien hunter. Next, the relevant departments will send more manpower to guard the places where the alien beasts appear."
Lin Fei watched the news, thought about it in his heart, and said.
"The relocation of these villages has not been completed yet. I hope the next step will be smoother, otherwise the Superpower Management Bureau will have a headache."
The places where wild boars were found reported on TV are located in some villages on the edge of the city.
Not long ago, the relocation plan for these villages was announced, and every villager moved to the resettlement area in an orderly manner.
However, these villages have a large population and it is unrealistic to relocate them all in a short time. It will take some time to complete.
The Supernatural Power Management Bureau sent some investigators to stand guard at the edges of the villages to prevent some strange beasts from breaking into these villages and endangering the safety of the villagers.
However, no matter how tight the defense is, there will still be some loopholes. Fortunately, the wild boar approaching the village was discovered in advance and then eliminated without causing any casualties.
Lin Fei was watching the news on TV when his cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
The moment the crisp ringtone rang, Lin Fei's thoughts were taken back from the TV. He reached out and took out his cell phone from his pocket to check who was calling.
"It's Han Xue. He called me. Does he want me to do anything for him?"
Lin Fei answered the phone and a pleasant voice came from the phone.
"Lin Fei, are you busy?" After finishing the work at hand, Han Xue leaned back on her chair and called Lin Fei with a smile.
"I'm not busy, what can I do for you?" Lin Fei asked.
"You have helped us a lot before. The director and I would like to treat you to a meal." Han Xue explained the purpose of her visit.
"It's easy, no need to be so polite." Lin Fei said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while and decided on the place and time for dinner.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Fei got up and went to the bathroom. He spent a whole day in the spirit world today. Not only did he sweat a little, but his hair was also stained with dust.
He was going to have dinner with Xie Yurong and Han Xue later. Lin Fei thought of taking a shower first and then going.
The bathroom door closed, and the sound of rushing water sounded. Not long after, Lin Fei walked out of the bathroom after taking a quick shower.
It's a hot summer day, and although it's approaching evening, the temperature is still not low.
In a busy neighborhood, Lin Fei walked out of an alley. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and clicked on the map navigation.
"The restaurant Han Xue mentioned should be at the corner in front..."
