After sending Chen Xing away, the road to the depths of the wasteland became bumpy again.
Although there are enough sunflowers planted in Huaiyu to serve as road signs, the roads and wilderness that have long been traced can still be accessed only by the shaky and flying chainsaws of road vehicles.
The huge plain in the center. When Huaiyu left, he took a shortcut and took the underground river before rejoining Zhou Qian a month later.
But when he and the others got into the car, it had been a month and a half since they set off again, but they could still see two or three huge sunflowers in front of them. There are many mutated creatures and plants in the middle, some are easy to talk to, and some will sneak attacks at night - after all, not all creatures are friendly.
Even Zhou Qian was injured twice. One of the wounds was on his chest. If it were deeper, his bones might be exposed.
Fortunately, there are big and small cubs, as well as Ketaro's flower balls with different functions, and the tree cocoon.
Although neither of them can explain why there is this, as long as it takes root in the soil, its healing ability is still very strong, not inferior to the medical cabin at all.
This made Zhou Qian more and more frustrated, feeling that they had greater hope of successfully rescuing Lin Xuefeng.
Now that he has come down from the sunflower tree, he has found the right direction, but...
There is no way to get through the front.
There is a calm but deep and wide river, so wide that even Huaiyu's superpower cannot spread the entire vine at the same time to carry their heavy car.
——Most of the ravines, gentle slopes, rivers, and various landforms we encountered before came here in a hurry.
But, this piece in front of me really doesn’t work.
The nearest sunflower landmark is on the opposite side, and with the length of the river, if we go around it like we did when we encountered the ravine before, we may not be able to get around it even if we drive for another month or two.
The two stood still.
Zhou Qian turned to Huai Yu and asked, "How did you get here in the first place?"
Huaiyu pointed to the ground: "There is an underground river."
She also had an impression of this section of the waterway.
The river outside is wide and slow, and the same is true for the underground river. She had to carefully stand on the mossy stone wall and walk forward with her feet half-floating on the bottom of the river, while raising her head to prevent water from pouring in again.
On this stretch of road, Huaiyu walked for more than four hours. When she saw the sliver of sky above her head, she almost crawled ashore. Then she only had time to create a vine house, and her hands and feet were already shaking uncontrollably. .
But there was no one to rely on at that time, and even though she was so tired that she wanted to pass out, she finally managed to make a fire for herself, trembling.
Before that, she thought she could find another way by driving on land.
But now it seems that unless a special engineering team comes here to build the bridge, it will be impossible to drive across it.
But there is also good news, that is, this section of the Anhe River is only three sunflowers away from Lin Xuefeng.
Zhou Qian pondered for a moment and then made a decision: "Take me and we will walk over."
Huaiyu didn't want to take it with him.
Without the strong and tight barrier of the garrison's vehicles, the danger for Zhou Qian walking deep in the wilderness was too great.
Putting aside the previous minor attacks that only resulted in superficial injuries, the two most serious ones started when he got out of the car. Although it was useless to get in the car once he was exposed, as long as he tried his best to avoid it, he could still survive. Be at peace with each other. But if he wanted to follow Huaiyu deeper, Huaiyu couldn't guarantee whether there would be something in the water attacking him, among other things.
So she could only explain: "Brother Zhou Qian, wait for me here."
Seeing her calm expression, Zhou Qian wanted to refuse - he actually could no longer accept separation from Huai Yu.
Especially watching her suffer alone in the wilderness, but she couldn't do anything.
But in the end, he just nodded and touched Huaiyu's hair: "Xiaoyu, you know, I will never refuse your wish."
Then he took a step back, turned around and said, "I'll prepare something for you."
Huaiyu looked at his broad back and felt his nose was stuffed at the moment. At that moment, she really wanted to forget about Lin Xuefeng, but they had already come here.
I have gone through such a difficult road ahead and taken all 99 steps. I am really unwilling to not take this last step.
She paused and then went to the edge of the jungle to find a big tree.
Then, the superpower——urge——
The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, and the branches above his head were overwhelming for an instant, and then dropped diagonally downwards, covering the eye-catching car tightly, and then slipping out of the ample space inside.
As long as Zhou Qian leaves this area as little as possible, the surrounding mutated creatures will not easily attack without discovering that the big tree has not mutated.
……
"This bag is waterproof. You can pack a set of close-fitting clothes in it. Don't bring toiletries. There is no need - there is a bottle of lard ointment that you remember to apply to avoid getting chapped."
"There are 10 packets of nutrient solution, which is highly concentrated for military use. One packet a day can ensure the amount of exercise - it's very hard to drink, but you can't throw it away."
"A bag of melon seeds - every time you pass a sunflower, you have to plant another one next to it, and I will see it."
"Two thermal blankets - you know how to use them? I guess you don't want to take off your clothes and go into the water, but we don't have a wetsuit. So, when you get out of the water, you need to take off your clothes and wrap them up as soon as possible. , then drink the hot water from the thermos cup and wait until it warms up before wearing new ones.”
"Toilet paper, scroll saw, medicine, knife, flashlight, waterproof helmet and headlamp..."
The items are detailed and numerous, and everything is necessary for survival. The waterproof backpack that was exchanged for high scores in District 6 is filled to the brim. So when Huaiyu returned to the underground river again, the overly bulging backpack almost failed to squeeze through the cracks in the ground.
However, she finally passed.
But compared to the last time, there was no panic in her heart this time.
Climbing up slowly from the river, the headlamp above my head illuminates everything around me, the moss, stones, water and everything in my backpack. She methodically shivered and quickly followed Zhou Qian's instructions. She first took off her clothes, and then wrapped the thermal blanket around her whole body. After she drank all the hot water in the thermos cup and her body gradually regained its temperature, Finally, put on a set of clean, new and warm clothes.
As for the wet clothes, I took out a set of plastic bags and dried them after climbing up and spending the night in the forest.
At this moment, she had reached the third to last sunflower landmark, where she spawned a second eye-catching sign side by side.
In order to ensure safety, Zhou Qian could only read the road signs once a day as soon as possible, but with this, at least the two of them were concerned. (End of chapter)
