Zhou Daqian, who had just settled his wife and daughter down to rest, was leaning against a barren tree-like plant when he heard the sound of fighting outside the oasis island. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly climbed up along the edge of the sand dune with Chen Maocai, who was on guard duty. When they reached the top, they looked ahead with the help of the moonlight, and they were instantly scared out of their wits.
In the rolling desert under the moonlight, Chu Yunsheng and the little boy were dragging a densely packed long line behind them. It was so dark that they couldn't see clearly what it was, but judging from the chaotic scene and the intensity of the fighting, the densely packed things were definitely not weaker than the pig-headed monsters they encountered last night.
The dangerous new world had already destroyed their fantasies before they entered. It was still better in the extreme north, and they didn't encounter any scary things, but they were inexplicably sent to the desert, and then they saw the bloody scene of the pig-headed monsters roasting human beings. They were still in a state of shock, and they felt that their future was starting to become uncertain.
Zhou Daqian had personally saved the little boy and Chu Yunsheng, and he also saw the two of them being judged dead by the medical team. He also experienced the two of them being resurrected, so he knew better than anyone else that the little boy and Chu Yunsheng were not ordinary people. If there was still a trace of doubt and uncertainty before, the pig-headed monsters and the fierce scene in front of them were enough to explain it.
They were masters, like the legendary martial arts masters!
He winked at Chen Maocai, retreated from the sand dune, and said in a low voice, "Maocai, quickly organize everyone to be vigilant, and be ready to escape at any time!"
Chen Maocai was also frightened by those fierce black monsters, and his face was pale, "Escape? Brother Zhou, where are we going? "
Yes, where could they escape to? The 187th camp should still be in the Northernmost Snow Land, and they were all stragglers. If there were no accidents, being alone in this extremely dangerous and strange world was equal to death.
Zhou Daqian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, got rid of these discouraging thoughts, and began to think seriously. Although Chu Yunsheng and the little boy were indeed very powerful, he did not know anything about this level of things, and he was not sure how powerful these two people were. If they lost and were eaten by those monsters, the rest of them would not be able to fight back at all. There were just too many of those strange things.
He looked at the unfamiliar starry sky above his head. The professional astronomy knowledge from his previous training was completely useless at this moment. He lowered his head weakly, bit his lips, and suppressed the panic in his heart. He held a ball of sand tightly in his hand, and felt sad as if he hated himself for being so weak.
In a world where the strong preyed on the weak, the weak humans seemed to be trampled under the feet of the entire New World. They were once the hegemon of Earth and the king of all creatures at the top of the food chain, but now, they were so lowly that even a 'pig' in the desert could be roasted as food.
This was the disadvantage of a race, the misfortune of the whole race. Just like weak ants would be trampled or eaten by all the tall animals, in the end, they could only rely on crazy reproduction to ensure the continuation of the race. This was the situation of human beings now. Zhou Daqian was just one of the ordinary people, and his sense of powerlessness came from the despair of the whole race.
The sound of fighting on the other side of the sand dune was getting farther and farther away. Chen Maocai carefully poked his head out to take a look, and then came back and said, "Brother Zhou, they seem to have led those monsters away."
Zhou Daqian took a deep breath and expelled the powerlessness from his face again. He knew that he couldn't collapse. Although in front of those monsters in the new world, he was almost negligible, in the eyes of his daughter and wife, he was a father and a husband, a mountain that they relied on and relied on. If he collapsed, what would happen to his daughter and wife who were even weaker?
No matter when, he tried hard to tell himself that he couldn't show that kind of powerlessness and decadence in front of his wife and daughter. Only by pretending to be confident at all times could they have less fear and hope. He was a father, but also a husband. He had the responsibility to protect the two most important women in his life from all the storms and the pressure of survival.
Zhou Daqian gratefully looked at the shadows of the two people on the other side of the sand dune, and immediately sent Chen Maocai back to tell everyone not to sleep. Although those monsters were led away, who could guarantee that they wouldn't come back?
In his heart, he was still uneasy. He felt that it was very likely that Chu Yunsheng and the little boy would not come back alive.
Chen Maocai returned after a while, and when he came back again, he brought a few young and strong men as the frontline. In order to prevent all of them from being caught in one fell swoop, they needed to have a few more people. Even if only one person survived to sound the alarm, it would be able to fight for a glimmer of hope for the family in the distant oasis to escape.
The fighting outside did not last for too long. Zhou Daqian rubbed his eyes. He seemed to see a strange rune appearing in the place where the monsters were concentrated. It was flashing with a dark light, mysterious like a pictogram carved on the wall of a historical site.
Then a cloud of black mist continuously emerged from the pattern, shrouding the dense group of monsters that were still fighting fiercely. Under the moonlight, the mist twisted like a devil from hell, baring its fangs and claws, swallowing all living things in one bite …
One second, two seconds, three seconds …
The noisy desert suddenly became extremely quiet. At this time, the desert at night was empty and silent. It was frighteningly quiet.
Taking the binoculars from Chen Maocai, Zhou Daqian only saw two human bodies in his sight. One was Chu Yunsheng, and the other was the little boy, Xiao Ba. They were lying on the sand in the desert.
As for the other strange black things, they had all disappeared, making one's scalp tingle as if they had seen a ghost.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Daqian gritted his teeth and said, "Maocai, you climb over with me!"
The two looked at each other, swam over the top of the sand dune, and carefully approached the place where the two bodies were lying.
After a while, Chen Maocai gestured behind him, and the other strong men popped their heads out and ran over with their waists bent. They picked up the two "corpses" and hurried back to the oasis island.
"Are they dead?"
"I don't know."
"They're out of breath. I don't think they're going to make it."
"Old Jiang, Old Jiang, come over and see if you can still save them."
"I'm afraid they can't, their bodies are all stiff!"
…
"Brother Xiao Ba is dead, uncle Chu Chu is also dead, dad, what should we do?"
"If uncle Chu Chu didn't go so far away, would he still be alive?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, uncle Chu Chu, can you wake up?"
…
…
At this moment, the sky was still clear and bright, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered with dark clouds, and death was approaching these unprepared people step by step.
