But, they still threw it away.

Liu Ji saw that when they threw things, their eyes were sad and their faces looked determined.

After two days, the whole team had become silent. They even tied leaves to the soles of their shoes, making no sound at all.

There were a few horses in the team, which were snatched with great difficulty, and everyone treated them as treasures.

But...after only walking for half a day, all the horses were slaughtered.

At night, the team was as quiet as the wind...only a slight rustling sound could be heard. There was no reflection or anything that could make the slightest sound.

This kind of execution is simply terrifying.

Li Sisi smiled and said, "When I was reading a book, I saw a phrase called "commands and prohibitions". I thought it was an exaggeration and that no one could do it. In a normal army, if an order is given and half of it is carried out, it's good enough. But you... even God would be impressed."

Liu Ji responded with a smile, "This is all thanks to those political commanders. Without them, this would not be possible."

Sisi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Without you, where would these people come from? We can't make any noise now, so wake up. If you have nothing to do, don't flirt with me. I might not be able to control myself..."

Liu Ji was stunned. When did I hook up with her?

The man subconsciously looked at Zhang Ping'er next to him and saw that the woman's face was full of resentment, but she didn't get angry at anyone. Maybe she was angry at herself.

strangeness...

They're both a little weird.

During the day, these people hid at the foot of the mountain to sleep. There were special people patrolling back and forth, and if they saw anyone making any noise, they would stop them immediately.

Zhang Yan came over quietly with a sentry. "Daozu, we just missed a group of 10,000 barbarians. They seemed to be going to attack Xinjiabao. At the closest point, we were less than 200 steps away from them."

Zhang Yan had an expression of having survived a disaster.

Liu Ji smiled and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "This is all your good work."

Zhang Yan froze, looked down at herself, and smiled blankly. How could she do anything good? It was clear that Daozu was using his prestige to suppress these people and they dared not make a sound.

The rest of the day the team was quieter and weaker.

On the fifth day, all the food was gone...Everyone contributed their last rations and gave them to the elderly and children.

On the sixth day, the team's progress slowed down.

Zhang Yan was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do... Without food, no matter how hard she tried, she just had no strength.

Even the usually lively Li Sisi was sweating as she walked. "You might as well just kill me."

"There won't be much meat left even if I kill you." Liu Ji responded with a smile.

When I said this, Sisi became excited. "If you promise to eat me all, then I will let you eat me."

"You don't plan to have children?"

She was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant...should she feed Liu Ji or give birth to a child for Liu Ji?

On the seventh day, the team was exhausted to the limit and they reached the Daxi River.

But when I looked up...the river was rushing, so how could I see the single-plank bridge?

Zhang Yan led his men up and down the bridge, and came back in despair, saying, "Daozu, the bridge was burned down by the barbarians. They didn't even think about logistics, and completely blocked their retreat."

Volume 147: Incomprehensible

After seven days of hard work, I finally saw the river...

But I found that there was no bridge at all.

The deepest part of the Daxi River is more than ten meters, which is impossible for human beings to pass through.

Liu Ji looked at Zhang Yan and said two words: "Forced crossing!"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Sisi was confused. "How do we force our way across?"

Liu Ji shook his head. He didn't know either, but he knew... they had to cross the river as soon as possible. It was not that he had no other choice, but he couldn't stay in this army forever. He had to learn to let them become independent slowly.

Zhang Ping'er sneered and said, "The water on both sides of the river is fast and turbulent, and the canoe can't get through at all... If we want to wade across, the water in the middle is too deep. How can we force our way across?"

Liu Ji smiled and said, "I believe them!"

"What's the point of believing them? Do you think they can do anything? They are just refugees, beggars! How could they do such a thing?"

Only a short while later, Zhang Yan came back and said, "Daozu, there is a way to cross the river."

Liu Ji did not ask, but just said, "The process is meaningless, let's cross the river now."

Sisi looked confused.

Zhang Ping'er looked horrified.

They soon reached the river and saw piles of thick wood lying next to it.

Zhang Ping'er was stunned. "Is that all you need?"

No one responded.

I saw several people go into the water, carry the wood one by one, and build a single-log bridge. When the river is turbulent, one person can't carry it, so two or three people will do it.

They used people as piles and built a bridge.

Liu Ji didn't say anything, and took Li Sisi and stepped up first.

"The Heaven is dead, and the Dao Ancestor is born!"

"The Heaven is dead, and the Dao Ancestor is born!"

"The Heaven is dead, and the Dao Ancestor is born!"

The people who were desperately carrying the wooden bridge were shouting loudly. Liu Ji took a look and saw...an old man with white hair and beard and a young boy who was still childish.

Zhang Yan said nearby, "These people...are all political commanders."

Liu Ji nodded and passed quickly.

Not long after, a team of thousands of people...all arrived.

But...what about the rest of the people? What about those who were used as stakes?

When Liu Ji looked towards the river, he saw that the floating bridges were breaking one after another, carrying them downstream. With this flow rate and this depth, they were most likely dead.

Zhang Yan, who was always calm, couldn't help but feel jealous and said, "Daozu, they volunteered, no one forced them."

Liu Ji nodded and said, "Recruit a few more political commanders to fill their positions."

"They knew they were going to die before they went down, so they had already found it."

Liu Ji had no expression on his face.

Li Sisi was extremely shocked, and Zhang Ping'er felt even worse. She was shaking and shaking all the time. She had never seen or imagined such a scene before.

Liu Ji said, "From now on, the political commander will have to pay a sum of money every month."

Ok?

Everyone looked over, confused.

"This money is used to subsidize the elderly and children. It is not a tax, but an honor. It is enough for each person to pay for a meal."

"Yes!" Zhang Yan trembled all over.

The two women also looked surprised. They looked at each other, but didn't realize the deeper meaning behind this. Looking at Zhang Yan's expression...it seemed like she knew the meaning.

A procession of thousands of people lined up along the river to hold funerals for several political commanders.

"The Heaven is dead, and the Dao Ancestor is born!"

"The Heaven is dead, and the Dao Ancestor is born!"

"The Heaven is dead, and the Dao Ancestor is born!"

This sentence is not only an expectation, but also a final cry. God is dead and doesn't care about them anymore...but they will rely on themselves!

The sad atmosphere infected everyone.

They have completely run out of food, and the worst-case scenario has been hungry for five whole days. If they don't get more supplies, they will most likely starve to death on the road.

Just at this time, someone shouted, "There are wild fruits here! There are wild fruits here!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw bright red fruits hanging on the withered tree trunks.

They've arrived at the place...

Liu Ji did not lie to them, there were indeed wild fruits here.

Zhang Yan quickly shouted, "Leave some, leave some! Don't eat it all."

Liu Ji stretched out his hand to block it. "No, eat them all! Don't leave any."

Zhang Yan was stunned...a little confused, but she still faithfully carried out the order.

This is just the periphery, there are more fruits inside...

The innermost part is where Liu Ji found a good base for them. It is close to the Daxi River in the south, a mountain in the back, and a rugged mountain in the north. Only the front can be entered, and there is a large wild fruit forest here...

This place is absolutely amazing.

A team of thousands of people flew into the forest like birds and picked fruits quickly.

After a while, Liu Ji received a system prompt.

[Clearing the wasteland, mission failed.]

[New mission: Sowing, 0/1000]

The task of clearing the wasteland was to collect wild fruits. The requirement was not much, only one thousand. Compared with the fruits all over the mountain, this amount was too little. But why was there nothing left? Because they had eaten all of them.

The system released a new task and gave another 20,000 points.

So...kill two birds with one stone.

Everyone else was looking for wild fruits in the mountains and forests, even the lazy Li Sisi went, but... Zhang Ping'er didn't. Compared to hunger, she suffered a greater mental blow.

She found Zhang Yan from the crowd and asked, "Why were you not angry but happy when you heard that Liu Ji wanted to collect money?"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned and left.

Zhang Ping'er forcibly pulled her back and said firmly, "You must tell me!"
