The straps of my hiking bag dug into my shoulders.
"Oh pain¡¡"
The screams made subconsciously were also blurred by the soreness in the back muscles and feet.
It¡¯s only been two days, and the originally ¡°voluptuous¡± shoulders have become skinny and bones, and the weight of the backpack has become equivalent to pain.
It¡¯s autumn, but my skin feels hot. The sun was shining from above and below, and I could only let my physical strength flow down drop by drop with sweat, diminishing every moment.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? My stomach are already extremely hungry. The biscuits that I ate at the last moment were the only source of calories consumed during the two days of walking.
How can it be so far
As a homebody, he has never walked for such a long period of time, and he can only roughly estimate the distance from the map.
Twenty-three Sel moments - the unit of this world. If used in units that Miyamoto is familiar with, it would be one hundred and fifteen kilometers.
If we were still in our own world, this distance would take less than an hour on the high-speed rail; even if we took the subway and bus and transferred all the way, it would take less than three hours in total.
If you take this world¡¯s ¡°Guidance Bus¡±, about five hours is enough.
But¡¡
¡°Now is an extraordinary period, and it has to be done even if it doesn¡¯t work.
The three-hour drive distance can¡¯t be covered even if you walk on two legs for two days. Civilization is really amazing. Just like the nurturing grace of parents, we only understand its greatness when we lose it.
"You have a hard time too, right?"
He spoke to the side.
The companion was silent, not even bothering to snort.
This partner is six years old and has a broad back and thick limbs. There is also a body of shiny brown fur.
This dwarf horse¡¯s name is ¡°Partner¡±. He was his wife¡¯s former trading partner and accompanied her almost throughout the entire northern part of the Samlian continent.
¡ª¡ªWhat a name it is, it¡¯s too casual.
The first time he heard the name, he complained to his wife, who was not his wife at that time.
Of course, Wang Erxiao¡¯s own name is not very clever either.
In front of his wife, compared to him, Wang Erxiao is just a newcomer. Whenever he watched his wife brushing his friend's fur and feeding him carrots with a smile, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Of course I won¡¯t be jealous¡ªbecause my partner is a mare.
??Three days ago we set out from the heart of this country called "Northumbria" and walked along the road until this morning. Look at the road signs, we should be close to the border here.
?????????????????????????????????????????????: It¡¯s all empty and white wilderness. As the wife of a former traveling businessman said, the bustling scene was completely invisible.
The empty driveway was silent except for the cries of companions and the sound of carriage wheels bouncing in the cracks of the paving stones. The only thing accompanying it was the wind blowing through the fine white crystals.
The luggage on your back seems to be heavier, and your physical strength has almost been exhausted, right?
"well¡ª¡ª"
it hurts. So tired. So hungry.
¡ª¡ªWhich one should I **?
Before he could figure it out, Wang Erxiao had already fallen to the ground.
The sound of his companion¡¯s hooves stopped immediately.
I don¡¯t know how long it has been.
I felt moist heat on my face. His partner was humping him with his mouth.
He raised his head slightly, and just this movement made his cervical spine scream.
I don¡¯t know when, there was already a circle of people around.
At first glance, Wang Erxiao couldn't tell the difference.
No matter men and women, young or old. The faces, tired and dirty from days of walking, looked so similar. The insensitive eyes revealed the same greed.
That greed is directed at the companions and the carriage.
¡°Obviously, compared to my own legs, the carriage is more comfortable, and it is easier to escape from this place as quickly as possible.
He couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't smile because of the severe pain caused by the muscles involved.
Wang Erxiao stood up slowly. This action made the refugees who were already eager to try look hesitant in their eyes-
This is only temporary.
Wang Er thought carefully.
He is only one person. Plus there are only two partners. There were as many as six refugees around him, including adult men whose physique was completely above his.
They rushed up, subdued - or beat to death - themselves, and stole everything - food, clothes, backpacks, and of course, their companions and carriages,It's only a matter of time.
¡°At a time when civilization and order have collapsed, we cannot expect people to still have much kindness.
but¡ª¡ª
"You've got the wrong person."
He said.
Because he didn¡¯t know where the other person came from, he spoke once in common language and once in northern dialect.
Compared with his wife, his words are very poor. But judging from the expressions of the refugees, they probably understood it very well.
Because they clearly show the meaning of "you are the one they are looking for".
As the wife of a traveling businessman, she can speak one-third of the languages ??on this continent and understand the other third. When I traveled to this time, if I hadn't met her who understood the language of Eastern immigrants, I would probably have starved to death soon¡ª¡ª
no solution anymore.
Wang Erxiao moved two steps and lifted the blanket covering the carriage.
"!"
The refugees were in a commotion.
Even strong men looked frightened.
The carriage carried his wife.
Or rather, the salt block that was once his wife.
The glistening white humanoid, although its companion is very steady and careful, after more than two days of turbulence, the humanoid's hands, feet and facial features have peeled off.
What¡¯s even more eye-catching is her bulging belly.
"Spit!"
"Spit!"
¡¡
The refugees showed unlucky expressions and walked past the carriage one by one. Stay away from it.
Wang Erxiao watched them off.
The refugees are afraid that they will become like their wives. They want to live.
However, Wang Erxiao didn¡¯t know whether he wanted to become like this or whether he wanted to live.
If it¡¯s the former, then he should stay in the home that has been salted, weathered, and collapsed, with his wife and children who have turned into salt blocks, until he becomes part of this crystal white world.
If it was the latter, then he should mount his companions and escape day and night. The crystal-white salt blocks are not his wife and children. They have probably found eternal sleep beside the goddess Edes.
Because he didn¡¯t know what he was thinking, he carefully put the salt block that his wife had turned into on the carriage, and then drove the otaku¡¯s body toward the south.
It¡¯s the same as before time travel!
"This kind of half-hearted life I didn't expect that when it comes to the end, it will still be half-hearted."
It¡¯s almost reaching its limit.
¡°¡Aliya¡¡±
There was a hollow sound in the throat.
Is this the limit
¡That¡¯s fine.
Wang Erxiao pulled out his Swiss Army Knife and started cutting his partner's harness.
"Golive?"
He stopped.
The noisy sound attracted his attention.
Ahead of the road, the refugees who had just bypassed the carriage were running back one after another, unable to hide the panic on their faces.
And the things chasing them soon revealed their true colors.
"Warcraft!"
Wang Erxiao felt chills stand on end.
No matter how many times you travel through time, you will still panic when you encounter this kind of thing.
What¡¯s more, this is a rare guy.
It¡¯s almost as big as a human being, and its body is as thick as a bucket and is divided into three sections. The head has long whip-like tentacles and shocking pincer-like jaws. The shimmering cyan shell is like armor, with sharp spikes extending from it.
If you put an ant on the earth under a microscope, it would probably look like this, right?
"This is! Heavy armored ant?!"
Originally, the ants were ordinary mushroom-eating ants. Because they grew near the veins of Qiyao Stone and ate mushrooms that gathered the power of the earth for many years, they actually grew so big.
"!"
The armored ants made a blood-curdling cry and chased the refugees.
"Um?"
Wang Erxiao discovered something was wrong.
Because they often swallow jadeite, armored ants move very quickly. However, this one's movements were very uncoordinated - as if one or two legs were broken
However, even so, it moves faster than a refugee child.
"Run away!"
Among the refugees, the man with a ferocious face seemed to have made up his mind.While shouting, he turned around and waved the long staff in his hand towards the terrifying monster.
remarkably brave.
However, there is no order.
! !
The sound of the long staff hitting the giant ant was unexpectedly loud.
The blue-gray hard armor was undamaged, but after the stick slipped away, it hit the jaw. What looked like a huge scythe was shattered into pieces.
Could it be¡ª¡ª
Is it also salted?
The armored ants screamed loudly. The sound was like fingernails scratching on frosted glass, making people want to cover their ears and roll on the ground.
Then, it stood upright on its hind legs, its abdomen under the blue-gray armor suddenly tilted forward, its soft white abdomen suddenly contracted, and it sprayed out light yellow mist.
"!"
This time, it was the ferocious-looking man¡¯s turn to let out a silent scream. He dropped his staff, covered his face with his hands, and retreated. The exposed skin quickly turned red, as if blood was oozing out.
The armored ant danced its tentacles, as if to show off its victory, and then pounced on it.
"dad!"
The boy among the refugees shouted. The woman among the refugees didn't hold on, and was pulled several steps by him.
However, it¡¯s too late.
The ferocious-looking man was knocked down in the blink of an eye. The armored ant opened its jaws, which were incomplete but still capable of killing people, and suddenly clamped down on the man's neck.
"dad!"
Refugee boys and girls screamed together. The woman bit her lower lip, but she firmly grabbed the two children and pulled them this way.
¡ª¡ª!
The blue-white light flashed across, leaving purple scars on everyone's retinas, and penetrated the side of the armored ant's head.
The blue-gray carapace shattered like tissue paper, but no bodily fluids spilled out. The armored ants were all blown away.
Only then did an indescribable sharp sound sound.
However, it is indeed an insect-like monster with tenacious vitality. After rolling on the ground several times, the giant ant, which had lost most of its head, still moved its jointed limbs in an attempt to stand up.
¡ª¡ª!
The second shot, the third shot.
In the blink of an eye, the originally formidable armored ants were torn to pieces.
This is¡ª¡ª
Wang Erxiao turned his eyes over there somewhat numbly.
What a strange team.
A nun. A strong man. A monk. There is also a young man.
It was the strong man who had just shot and saved the man among the refugees.
The monk wearing a dark robe stepped forward and began to examine the man¡¯s injuries caused by formic acid burns.
¡ª¡ªBy the way, the one who made the man rolling on the ground in pain pass out with just one kick and calmed down to accept the examination was the nun with the brown eyes that shone like red obsidian in the sun. .
