Chapter 257 The situation has changed
The closer he gets to Lishi Town, the less Boss Li dares to let down his guard.
The victims following his team are gathering more and more, like maggots attached to their bones that cannot be shaken off.
"This is not right. Didn't the government open warehouses to release grain? Why are there so many victims outside the city?"
A layer of gloom enveloped everyone's minds.
When they were still about two miles away from Shizhen, the team could no longer move forward.
The middle of the main road and the two sides are all densely packed with disaster victims.
They either sat under the dead tree, or just lay there, their chests rising and falling weakly, telling everyone that they were alive and had not yet expired.
But Gu Nanxi noticed that three or four victims who looked like normal people were deliberately approaching the lying person.
The people around obviously knew what these three or four people wanted to do, but they just silently moved away from the lying man. Some people's throats rolled up and down a few times, and their eyes were full of struggle.
Boss Li looked at the endless victims and couldn't help but shudder.
We can go no further!
Moving forward, even four hundred fully armed soldiers cannot guarantee the general's safety!
The victims were so hungry that they had no strength, but their gray eyes suddenly lit up when they saw the supplies in Gu Nanxi’s motorcade!
“Be on full alert!”
Following Boss Li's order, all the soldiers put on their armors, put on their helmets, and drew out the long swords at their waists!
Old man Geng also raised the flag of General Zhenglu, whom he had been guarding, high!
This is a warning of force and a deterrent of the imperial court’s majesty!
Boss Li’s neck had veins bulging, he held a knife in both hands, and with fierce eyes and gestures, the victims who gathered around shouted loudly: "General Zhenglu is here, anyone who dares to cross this line will be killed without mercy!"< br>
Boss Li's long knife drew a long and deep line on the ground. This long line seemed to have cut a knife on the necks of the victims, preventing them from taking another step forward.
Boss Li winked at Alchuan and others, who spontaneously formed a protective circle with a tacit understanding, surrounding Gu Nanxi and the supplies.
The tall and muscular figure instantly blocked the greedy sight of the victims.
The station chosen by Mr. Li is far away from the victims and backed by a bare mountain. The other side of the mountain is very steep and difficult to climb up.
This night, the team did not open the fire to cook. Instead, they gnawed on the cold shriveled rice, melted it with saliva, and then swallowed it with difficulty.
Boss Li arranged for four teams to take turns inspecting.
Boss Li was slightly relieved when he saw that although the victims had been staring at him, they had not made any move.
"Master, I made a miscalculation this time!" Boss Li came to Gu Nanxi's carriage dejectedly.
If I had not been selfish and wanted to rush to the border as soon as possible, and if I had followed Escort Dong's advice and bypassed the two counties in Henan and Zhonghe, the team would not have been trapped in the middle of the disaster victims and found themselves in a dilemma!
Now, if you insist on breaking through, you don’t know whether the victims will rush forward impulsively, and secondly, you don’t know whether Lishi Town will open the city gate in time.
If you arrive at the city, there are flood victims in front of you, but the city gate behind you does not open, it will be a dead end!
But if they go back the same way at this time, not to mention the time consuming, they are afraid that the victims will see their cowardice and become malicious!
Boss Li clenched his fists with both hands and punched himself in the head! Why can't you change this impulsive habit? !
Gu Nanxi opened the curtain and was wearing shorts uniform, which made her look very heroic.
The moonlight is bright, but ghosts are rampant on the earth. Gu Nanxi had already seen several people being dragged away by other victims, including some who were dying and some who looked like big-headed dolls.
There were also many female victims who were pinned down and looked numb.
Human ethics are not worth mentioning in the face of life and death.
And this scene also fell into the eyes of everyone in the team. The atmosphere of the entire team was no longer as vibrant and full of hope as before.
The unspeakable heaviness, the desolation of life and death, and the powerlessness to deal with the current situation are all like shackles, locking everyone's necks, tightening them tighter and tighter.
Gu Nanxi took a deep breath. As the core of the team, she had to hold on!
"I don't blame you for this. None of us thought that the disaster in the two counties would be so serious."
Boss Li smiled bitterly. The ability to collect information before going out is also an important aspect to test whether a general is qualified. !
This is the first time for Gu Nanxi to lead troops on an expedition, but not for herself!
Seeing that her words did not comfort Boss Li, Gu Nanxi tilted her head and asked him a question: "Do you think the world we live in is round or square?"
Gu Nanxi’s question was abrupt and strange, and it quickly attracted the attention of others
Boss Li touched the back of his head, his eyes were confused, and he said uncertainly: "They say the sky is round and the earth is round, so the sky should be round and the earth should be square."
Gu Nanxi shook her head mysteriously, It wasn't until everyone's appetite was whetted that he said: "The sky and the earth are round."
Boss Li was greatly shocked. If anyone else had said this, he would definitely spit on her, but The person who said this was Gu Nanxi!
It’s Gu Nanxi, the god who descended to earth!
Boss Li blinked, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Gu Nanxi thought for a while, after watching the documentary, she saw it with her own eyes, so she nodded heavily.
Actually, Gu Nanxi wanted to tell Boss Li and the others through this matter that the sky has four seasons and the world is round. These are objective facts and are not changed by human will.
So there is absolutely no need for Boss Li to feel regretful because of the facts that have happened.
Boss Li was in a trance. What did he hear?
Shatter your worldview!
Gu Nanxi: "Boss Li, do you understand what I want to say? If you don't understand, I can explain it again."
Everyone is so good at thinking, they should be able to understand what they mean. ?
Boss Li nodded reflexively, and when he came to his senses, he realized that Gu Nanxi had already returned to the carriage.
Boss Li scratched his head, alas, he didn’t understand what his master meant.
Boss Li grabbed Alechuan who was passing by: "What did the master mean just now?"
Relying on the reading comprehension skills he developed in the academy, Alchuan tried to analyze Gu Nanxi's deep meaning: "Let us learn to be smooth like heaven and earth?"
Boss Li frowned, he felt that the master definitely did not mean this. !
So Boss Li came to Old Man Geng step by step and humbly asked for advice.
Old Geng gave him a roll of his eyes: "Mrs. Hou, I want you to go away! As the commander-in-chief, you don't think of a solution to the current predicament, and you are still feeling sorry for yourself! If you don't go away, who will? "
"Master wouldn't do this!" Boss Li touched his nose guiltily and went to check again before going to sleep peacefully.
