War Lord

The bonfire was burning, illuminating the boundless night. The wind at night was soft and cold, gently blowing through the flames, causing them to twist the void body like a dancing girl, and fly out little sparks, flashing the most dazzling light, and then quickly extinguished.

The green leather car had left Silver Tree City and stopped outside an abandoned farm about 50 kilometers from the town. They will spend the night here and continue on their way the next morning.

The car parked next to the farm, and a few people in Ji'an cleared a clearing. Because solid fuel cannot be used, the original bonfire was lit. The grass on the farm has long since died, but there are still a few shrubs that barely survive. The cruel living environment of the new era has caused plant genes to change as the environment changes. Like these few dwarf trees, their height is less than two meters, but the canopy is surprisingly large. From a distance, it looks like a giant umbrella.

If you dig into the soil, you will see the roots of the tree go deep into the ground about ten meters. That way, it can prevent the roots of the old trees from being directly exposed to the violent sunlight because they are located in the shallow soil. The roots of the trees deep underground can not only hide from the sun, but also absorb the few water of the earth, struggling to survive.

Ji'an dug up the soil under the shrubs and intercepted some of these roots. The deeper it is buried, the roots of such trees not only contain water, but are also full of starch. After being peeled, it is boiled in an iron pan until it becomes pulpy, and it can be eaten like old potatoes. It's just that the taste of this tree root is bitter and has a certain amount of radiation. But regardless of zero and others, they don't care about such little things.

Ling silently observed Ji An and their movements. Although it was a good thing to find food, they were never greedy. The truncated tree roots are only about one-third of the original number. As spring passes and autumn comes, the dwarf tree has time to grow new roots without dying. It is ironic to say that in the old days when resources were abundant, people only knew how to invade nature. On the contrary, the resources are now scarce, and they know how to regenerate and regenerate.

There is a large pot on the bonfire. After the roots of the tree are boiled into thin mud, everyone is allocated a bowl of portion.

Zero and Leah sat in the corner of the crowd, and Teddy brought two bowls of tree mud to them. The young driver's gaze fell on the waistless revolver, and Tedezzaza's mouth said, "Hey, brother. Can you let me see the gun?"

Taking the tree mud, zero backhand drew the pistol, and handed it to Teddy's hand.

Feeling the heaviness of the big piece of metal in his hand, Teddy was secretly speechless. The large-caliber muzzle that was different from an ordinary revolver silently told about the power of this pistol. Teddy knew that its recoil must also be huge. He looked at Zero and couldn't believe that such a weak person could actually use such a weapon.

But thinking about the gesture of picking up Ji An in one hand, Teddy was relieved.

"Are you a supernatural person?" Teddy returned the pistol to Zero.

Zero did not answer. In his character, not disagreeing is the default. It's a pity that Teddy met Zero not long ago, and he only thought the man had a weird temper. But it doesn't matter if it is weird. Teddy and Ji'an can both feel Zero's goodwill after finding food and medicine in the convenience store in the evening. It shows that this strange traveler intends to integrate into their team, no matter what Zero's starting point is, being able to join a fighter like him will only benefit the journey to Remute.

"Eat more. Plants like dwarf umbrella trees are rare. Tomorrow we will bring more roots to spare, but it will be enough for us to have another meal. Later, I am afraid we will have to eat some dry food. Water is also a problem, I hope we can find supplies along the way. But I think God will bless us, right?" Teddy blinked and said, then left.

Zero put his bowl of tree mud in front of Leah.

Even at night, Leah never put down her hat on her head. She said softly in her hat: "I can't eat so much."

"Eat," said Petty Command, and then said in a softer tone: "Eat more, it's good for your disease."

"how about you?"

Zero took out a piece of chocolate from his jacket pocket. It was found in a convenience store. He left a piece for himself, and left the rest to Ji An to deal with. Zero gently uncovered the outer packaging of the chocolate. This dark chocolate, which should have been exuding fragrance, is now covered with a layer of gray bacteria. Sweep the gray fungus away with petty fingers, then put it in your mouth and chew slowly.

Foods that have been severely expired naturally don't taste good. They don't have the sweetness and bitterness that chocolate should have. Zero was like biting a piece of wood, but he still bit the thing with his teeth, and finally swallowed it. In fact, all the food that Ling gave to Ji An passed the retention period, but no one would take it seriously. For people in the old age, no one cares about the taste of food unless those nobles and wealthy gentry.

Although the food has expired and spoiled, people are not expensive enough to digest them and convert them into energy for the body. As for the deterioration or even the toxic substances, even if they cannot be excreted from the body, they will be suppressed. Until one day, human physique can no longer contain more toxic substances, they will collectively erupt.

For Zero, there is no concern in this regard. The food disappears after entering his stomach bag, and the extracted energy will be allocated to him for a longer period of time through careful distribution. As for harmful substances, they are excreted with sweat during exercise, so there is no theory of accumulation of toxins.

Just watching Ling would rather eat expired food on his own, and would not move it. It was not delicious, but at least the fresh tree mud. Leah's heart trembled slightly, she did not speak any more, picked up the mud and ate it. She ate so carefully tonight that when Teddy came to retrieve the rice bowl, she found that there was no residue in it.

In the middle of the night, the temperature dropped and people went back to sleep in the carriages. Leah is no exception. He bought a blanket from Teddy for two dollars, and now it is wrapped around Leah.

Zero didn't sleep, sitting in front of the bonfire whose flames were almost extinguished. He was on the vigil, together with Ji An, and even another white man named Paen.

"A cigarette?"

After the three of them sat in silence for half an hour, UU read www.uukanshu. com black man took out a cigarette and handed it to zero.

Ling Jing took it, lit it directly on the flame, and took a deep breath. The smell of low-quality tobacco penetrated into Zero's lungs, and after a cycle, he was sprayed out of his nose again. The mouth was full of bitterness, but the corner of Zero's mouth pulled out a smile.

"Although it is not a good product, I can draw one every day, I think it is God's favor."

Ji An and Byrne also smoked. The black man closed his eyes and swallowed the clouds, looking quite enjoyable.

"I agree with this point." Zero replied, he will never say much. Short, but accurate.

The black man opened his eyes, looked at Zero and said, "That girl, is she sick?"

The flames of the bonfire suddenly dropped, and Ling's breath suddenly collapsed like a steel cable. He looked at Ji An, his eyes became cold and merciless again.

"Hey hey, don't be nervous, I just ask casually." Ji An waved his hand again and again: "In these days, no one in the wilderness has any sickness except for the noble lords."

The words of the black made Zero's tight body gradually relaxed. Ji An breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "So, you want to see a doctor in Remut?"

"That's right." Zero replied succinctly, but in an instant, the newly relaxed muscles collapsed tightly. On the skin, a slight tingling sensation came.

Feeling the change in the atmosphere, Ji An's face changed, and he just wanted to explain, but was covered by Zero.

"Don't make a sound, wake everyone up. Something is approaching." Zero's ears twitched lightly, and an inaudible voice came into his ears with the wind from far away.

Zero stood up, flew up, kicked nearby sand and sprinkled it on the bonfire, extinguishing the flame.

After all this was done, in the moonlight, on the other end of the highway, several shaky figures appeared.
