Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 121
As soon as Xia Yongjia said this, everyone looked at him, waiting for his explanation.

Xia Yongjia didn't rush to explain, but asked, "Have we been heading southeast?"

"Of course, didn't you read the compass and map at the very beginning?" Zhao Guang replied flatly, but stared into Xia Yongjia's eyes, still curious about what he wanted to say.

Xia Yongjia laughed at himself: "That's right, it's the compass, it's the one that lied to us!"

"Yongjia, what's going on?" Everyone had been walking for such a long time, and the forest still seemed to have no end in sight. Lin Rantong had already been secretly suspicious, but she never had a say in the sense of direction.

Xia Yongjia pointed to the front: "Look, what's the difference?"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and there was nothing unusual about the trees with luxuriant branches and leaves.

"Are the varieties different?" Zhu Ming scratched his head and asked.

Zhao Guangbai took a look at him and didn't make a sound, but silently looked at him.

Lei Ting looked at the trees, then at Xia Yongjia, and said, "Brother Xia, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Xia Yongjia nodded: "Look, aren't the leaves here a little more lush?"

Everyone observed carefully again, and the gentle man Lu Zhiwen said: "It seems to be." Then he shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be the case. To be honest, if you don't say it, it's really hard to see. If you say it like this, maybe I'm just thinking about it." effect."

"Brother Xia is right. This side is indeed a little more lush, but it's really hard to find if you don't remind me." Lei Ting said, looking at the trees Xia Yongjia pointed at.

"I understand." Zhao Guang said.

"What do you understand?" Zhu Ming looked at him and asked.

Zhao Guang didn't look at Zhu Ming, but looked directly at Xia Yongjia and said, "This side is more lush. According to natural common sense, this should be the side facing south. If we go all the way to the southeast, the tree should be on our right hand." The direction of the outer side is lush, but now, it is the direction of our left hand side that is thicker, which means—”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Ming was still a little unresponsive for a moment.

Cheng Feng, who belonged to the Wuji mercenary team with Zhao Guang, who had never spoken much, suddenly said, "How did the bear die?"

Xia Yongjia chuckled, and hurriedly said: "Zhao Guang's analysis is good, which shows that we were wrong in thinking that we were going southeast. The direction we have been going is southwest!"

"West, southwest?" Zhu Ming showed shock, pointing to the compass that Xia Yongjia had been playing with in his hand, and said, "But, the compass shows that we are going southeast!"

"That's why I said, the compass deceived us!" Xia Yongjia said affirmatively.

"Brother Xia, your compass—" Lei Ting asked in consideration.

Xia Yongjia's face straightened: "Captain Lei, we have used this compass many times, and it has never been a problem."

"Then what's going on?" Zhu Ming asked impatiently.

Xia Yongjia shook his head: "I don't know what's going on, anyway, what the compass points to now is definitely different from the real direction!"

"Xia Yongjia, are you sure the branches and leaves are more lush here? To be honest, I can't tell." Cheng Feng said.

Xia Yongjia nodded with great certainty: "Yes, although it is in the forest and the sunlight is blocked by tall trees, the trees that we can see don't get much sunlight, so this feature is not very obvious, but don't worry. Forgot, I am a wood-type supernatural user, and I am far more familiar with the characteristics of plants than you. It’s just that because I believed in the compass too much, I ignored the observation.”

Cheng Feng shook his head: "Xia Yongjia, I didn't say this against you, it's just that this is the first time we have cooperated, and we don't know your ability well. It will take a long time to go in the direction you said. What if we still can’t go out, we must know that it’s getting dark now, and we’ve wasted too much time.”

Zhao Guang nodded in agreement.

Lin Rantong and Wei Xiuning naturally trusted Xia Yongjia, and everyone's opinions suddenly became inconsistent.

Seeing that things are at a stalemate here, and then looking at the slightly dark sky, Lei Ting said, "In this case, let's stay here overnight."

"Spend the night? Spend the night in the forest?" Zhu Ming exclaimed.

Lei Ting nodded and said: "That's right, it's getting dark, even if you follow the previous direction, it's impossible to get out before it gets dark, let alone you don't know whether this direction is right or wrong. In this case, how about Staying here overnight, the most important thing is—”

"Wait for the stars to come out!" Lin Rantong, Xia Yongjia, and Zhao Guang said in unison.

Seeing Lei Ting nodded approvingly: "That's right, even if the compass can lie, I don't believe the stars can!" Speaking of this, I thought to myself, why is this mission so difficult?Could it be that the government's requirement to lead the team with third-order supernatural powers is that these situations have long been expected or is it just for insurance?

Lei Ting suppressed these thoughts, looked at the crowd, and suddenly frowned, "Why hasn't Ge Lier come back yet?"

That's right, everyone has been talking for more than ten minutes, so it stands to reason that she should come back no matter what she does.

Thinking of this, Lei Ting's face darkened, and he hurriedly said to Lin Rantong: "Miss Lin, can I go and see Ge Li'er?" Lin Rantong was the only woman among the crowd, and Ge Li'er was obviously there just now for the convenience of others. good to go.

Lin Rantong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and have a look." Then he immediately turned and went to the direction Ge Lier left.

Ge Lier leaned against a tree, motionless, and a look of embarrassment flashed across Lin Rantong's face immediately.

"Miss Ge, what's the matter with you? Everyone is waiting for you. Captain Lei is very worried." Lin Rantong looked at Ge Lier's strange expression and asked.

Ge Li'er glanced at Lin Rantong, and she no longer felt a bit superior as before, but became hesitant: "I, I—"

Seeing Lin Rantong looking at her in puzzlement, thinking that he couldn't stay here forever, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "It's infected."

Except for Lin Rantong, I am afraid that the second person would not be able to understand what she meant, but Lin Rantong understood that the feeling was a good thing for this girl, and it stained her pants.

Seeing Lin Rantong sweeping her trousers, Ge Lier's face became even more embarrassed: "I padded it, but I don't know why it's so much this time..." At the end of the sentence, it was already inaudible.

Lin Rantong smiled reassuringly, saving Ge Lier from embarrassment.

It's really not easy for women. When the end of the world comes, they will suffer more than men, both psychologically and physically.Those men, when they regard women as playthings and accessories, have they ever thought that women are not just women, but also mothers, mothers who undertake the task of human reproduction!
For some reason, Lin Rantong felt emotional.She lowered her head and rummaged through the bag she was carrying, and took out a pair of pants.The trousers were tightly rolled into a bundle, so they didn't take up any space at all, only about a palm long.

After Lin Rantong’s space was not working well, it was a lot more inconvenient to carry things, but she was careful, and every time she went on a mission, she would bring the items she had the opportunity to use, so everything in the bag was made to occupy as much space as possible minimum.

Lin Rantong squeezed the hem of his trousers and shook them neatly, and the whole pair of trousers stretched out. It was a pair of pure black sweatpants.It's spring now, and it won't be too cold to wear alone.

Lin Rantong stretched out his hand and handed the trousers to Ge Lier.

Ge Lier looked at Lin Rantong, then at the trousers, reached out to take them, and said quickly, "Thank you."

Lin Rantong smiled slightly: "Do you have that?" She was referring to the sanitary napkin, but she didn't say it outright because she was afraid of Ge Lier's embarrassment.

Ge Lier nodded: "Yes." When she looked at Lin Rantong again, her eyes became much gentler.

Lin Rantong turned her back, Ge Lier quickly took off the black trousers she was wearing, and put on the trousers that Lin Rantong handed over.

Lin Rantong is 160 tall. She likes looser pants. The size of her trousers is 165, but Ge Lier's is 175. After wearing them, her slender and white ankles are exposed.She bent down and pulled the trouser legs down, then rolled up her trousers and put them in the backpack, and the two walked back together.

"Miss Lin, thank you." Ge Lier said, her tone a bit unnatural, it's no wonder, as a second-level high-level fire-element supernatural power user, she is still a beautiful girl, and she is the focus every time she appears , coupled with her outstanding strength, she has won the reputation of "Queen of Flame".

Usually she is cold and proud, except for the captain, she doesn't pretend to thank anyone, this is the first time, and she is following a girl whom she has always been resistant to before.

In fact, as early as Lin Rantong took her hand across the sea of ​​flowers, she understood where her inexplicable resistance all along came from.

It was the captain. The captain looked at Lin Rantong with admiration the first time she saw her. Although she knew that the captain was not the kind of man and woman who paid attention to Miss Lin because of her love. It was all because of Miss Lin's strength, but she was the most unconvinced at that time This is also true. Before meeting Miss Lin, she always thought that she was the best among girls, a supernatural being who would never lose to any man.

Naturally, seeing the captain give Miss Lin such a high look, the arrogance and disobedience in his heart were ignited.

Lin Rantong didn't know that Ge Lier had thought so much for such a short period of time, and when she heard her thank you, she said with a smile: "Miss Ge, don't be so polite, there are only two of us in the team, and it's natural for us to take care of each other. .”

Ge Lier said seriously: "Miss Lin, I think you should call me Sister Ge, I am much older than you."

Just looking at the appearance, Ge Li'er is at least eight or nine years older than Lin Rantong, so it's no wonder she said so.

Lin Rantong smiled, with dimples showing, she looked very cute: "You know, you shouldn't judge people by their appearance. My son can already make soy sauce."

　The author has something to say: I recommend An An's Woda's "Yongzheng Cultivation Plan", and those who like clear clothes can go and have a look.In addition, there have been a lot of panacea comments on book reviews recently, which makes Liu Jiong very enlightened.
