Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 237
Xia Yongjia's hands trembled, and he really wanted to punch Tao Haiyan's schadenfreude face. Lin Rantong, who was being overwhelmed by his title of "Lingbo Fairy", walked up and said, "Yongjia, be content!" , it would be nice if I didn’t call you a spider spirit.”

"Puchi!" The crowd who had been listening with their ears stunned burst out laughing.

After another day of walking, the strange bird finally did not come back, and people breathed a sigh of relief, and the tens of thousands of disappearing lives, apart from leaving some pain to their relatives and friends, were just a sigh of bad luck for others.

And everyone's minds quickly shifted to new issues.

This is the seventh day of departure. Although there is still a lot of food, it was not enough to support the stubborn rock base when the original calculation was made. Therefore, people can only eat half full for every meal.

The water that everyone drinks is also raw water taken from the riverside. In this way, the young and middle-aged with stronger resistance can still make do, while the elderly and children are getting sick more and more.Especially for the elderly, most of the children are carried by their relatives, and the physical exertion is not much, but those old people have to drag their old bodies on the road like young people.

One after another, old people began to fall down.

These old people are all overstretched and wait until the body can't bear the limit before falling down, so when they fall down, they often can't get up.

There were many military doctors and general doctors in the team, but because of the extreme shortage of medicines, they were helpless in the face of the raging diseases. In just two days, more than [-] elderly people fell down.

When those children couldn't support it anymore, Ye Yicheng's expression became more serious, and he called all the supernatural beings, mutants, and doctors, and held an impromptu meeting.

"The situation is like this, what can you do?" Ye Yicheng asked.

A man in a military uniform in his forties said: "Chief, there is really no good way. The conditions are here, and even the most basic diet cannot be guaranteed. Those old people and children have poor resistance. Once they get sick, the consequences will be unimaginable. Especially It is river water for drinking, which may contain some bacteria, if you drink too much, people with weak resistance will not be able to handle it, but in this case, it is unrealistic not to drink that water."

"Chief, let me say something that shouldn't be said. This situation is beyond anyone's control. If we stop because of this, then when the food runs out, these people will all—" Zhao Guang said.

He was originally a member of Wuji, a confidant of the captain of the Wuji mercenary team, but he didn't have a deep friendship with other people. After the captain died in a mission in the children's playground, he felt that staying in Wuji was boring, so this time Qiao Feifei When everyone said to stay, he took advantage of the trend to stay.

Ye Yicheng already knew about these supernatural beings left behind. Hearing this, he said to Zhao Guang, "You're right, but it's a pity for those children."

Everyone was silent. The chief was right. It was not easy for these children to survive in the last days. It is so sad to die on the road now. They are the future of mankind.But at this time, what can be done.

"How many children are there?" Lin Rantong asked.

Xiao Zhang replied: "According to the statistics in the base before, the number of elderly people is about 20, and the number of children is about 30. The rest are all young and middle-aged. Now the elderly have lost half, and the children have started to get sick one after another. If this is the case, more than half of the children will be lost soon."

Lin Rantong held his son's hand and lowered his head.

30 children will die once they get sick, and there is only a very small amount of medicine in their own space, and it may not be right for the symptoms. Faced with this situation, it is really impossible for human beings to violate it.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Yicheng knew that it was useless to embarrass them, so he couldn't help but sighed: "Well, the raw water we get from now on will be divided into two parts, and the water for the children and the elderly should be boiled. Whether it's soldiers or ordinary people, they all go to collect firewood, so it shouldn't waste much time."

Lin Rantong's heart moved. Isn't there stream water in his own space? It is obviously impossible to take it out for so many people to drink. Some stream water can still be done. I slowly realized the efficacy of this stream water. For ordinary people who have never drank it, even if it is diluted, the effect should be good.

Ye Yicheng's orders were carried out very well. Every time he rested and cooked, those who were idle would go to pick up firewood, and fill the boiled water for the elderly and children. Naturally, Lin Rantong filled each cauldron in advance. All mixed into the stream.

Sure enough, except for a few people with poor resistance, the complexions of the other old people and children gradually improved, the threat of death gradually disappeared, and smiles appeared on the faces of the adults.

Lin Rantong looked at those little children with their black eyes open in the arms of their parents, looking around curiously, couldn't help smiling, and grabbed his son's hand tightly.

This time the dead elderly accounted for the vast majority, there were more than 200 people, plus some adults and children with weak resistance, plus tens of thousands of people who were captured by strange birds, the team of about 180 million people, only [-] people left About ten thousand.

Because of the downsizing of the team and the deliberate saving, the food that originally supported the ten days was added to two days.

But when it came to No.13, two or three days away from the stubborn stone base, the crisis of food shortage still came.

"How long will it take to reach the stubborn stone, the exact time?" Ye Yicheng asked.

"Chief, if we speed up, we can arrive in two days, but now if people don't eat and their physical strength can't keep up, I'm afraid it will take at least four days." Xiao Zhang replied.

"Two days." Ye Yicheng pondered, then suddenly turned to Lin Rantong and said, "Girl Lin, isn't your space just enough to hold these people's two-day rations?"

"Yes, Uncle Ye." Lin Rantong said.

"Then you go now, go to the stubborn stone to borrow food!" Ye Yicheng said.

"Borrowing food?" Lin Rantong looked at Ye Yicheng.

"That's right. I've thought about it. This is the best way. I know that with your speed, you'll be there in half a day. We'll wait for you here, Lin girl. The lives of more than 100 million people are worthless." Look at your trip to borrow food. It is also my Yaoguang, who has a space ability like you, otherwise, there is no other way to go." Ye Yicheng said.

Lin Rantong suddenly felt a lot of pressure, God is sorry, she is just a woman who wants to make a living in a low-key way, she has no big ambitions, let alone be a hero who saves thousands of people from suffering, how suddenly, 100 Let yourself bear the lives of tens of thousands of people?

But looking at Ye Shouchang's expectant eyes and seeing the living life beyond sight, Lin Rantong pursed his lips and said cautiously: "Uncle Ye, it's okay for me to borrow food, but what's the matter?" By way of borrowing, with such a large batch of food, will they give me such a stranger?"

Ye Yicheng reached into the inner pocket of his jacket, took out a certificate, handed it to Lin Rantong and said, "This is my ID card, you take it." After speaking, he took out another piece of white cloth and put his finger on the dagger without hesitation. With one swipe, blood drops dripped out.

Ye Yicheng didn't even frown, and quickly wrote a few lines on the white cloth with his bloody fingers. After the handwriting was a little dry, he folded it and handed it to Lin Rantong, saying: "Lin girl, the head of the stubborn stone base Wei Yau and I have a good friendship, and he is a generous person, so he will definitely not stand idly by when he sees this. Besides, we have contacted them when we were at the base, and the Rock Base has promised to accept so many of us."

After hearing this, Lin Rantong agreed to come down, glanced at the Ivy League crowd, and said to Tao Haiyang: "Tao Haiyang, you can go with me."

Among these people, only Tao Haiyang's speed could barely keep up.

Unexpectedly, Tao Haiyang hesitated a bit and didn't speak.

Xia Yongjia kicked him: "Tao Haiyang, this is not your style, what are you dawdling about?"

Tao Haijun's face wrinkled into a ball: "I, am I not a little bit timid?"

"What, you are from the Obsidian Base?" Everyone blurted out.

Facing the bright eyes, Tao Haiyang nodded.

"Then you have to go even more. You can't just go with the captain alone, so we don't feel relieved." Ma Zhi said.

No matter how powerful the captain is, he is a woman after all. Besides, there are dangers everywhere, even if he is a man, there is no guarantee that he will be safe. It is much better to have a companion to take care of him.

Tao Haiyang nodded fiercely: "Let's go, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, which one did he sing when he suddenly said such a sentence?
Lin Rantong solemnly entrusted An Ran to Xia Yongjia and the others, and left some food before leaving with Tao Haiyang. Fortunately, Ivy now has several fourth-level masters in charge, who can almost deal with most situations, so Lin Rantong Tong is not too worried.

Seeing Lin Rantong and Lin Rantong disappear at the end of the road, Ye Yicheng said, "Xiao Zhang, bring the trumpet."

Taking the microphone handed over by Xiao Zhang, Ye Yicheng put it to his mouth and said loudly: "Comrades, now we are out of food, I know everyone is worried, here I want to tell you a good news, everyone must know, Lin Ran Miss Tong is a space power user. She has already left to go to the Obstinate Stone Base to borrow food for us. If all goes well, she will be back in less than a day. Everyone hold on a little bit, we will wait here for Miss Lin to come back, We are full, and we will definitely arrive at the Stone Base smoothly!"

The crowd was silent for a few seconds, then they all burst into shouts.Some called Long Live Ye Shouzhang, some called Long Live Ivy Teng, and some directly called Long Live Lin Rantong.

Lin Rantong and Lin Rantong, who had already arrived at the foot of the stubborn stone base, certainly didn't know the most simple shouts to ordinary people.

Lin Rantong raised his head, looked up at the majestic city wall, the four big characters of the stubborn stone base flying like dragons and phoenixes, and couldn't help sighing: "This is the stubborn stone!"

"Yeah, how about it, Zhang Yang, these four big characters are much better than Yaoguang's, and it's exciting to look at. When I first went to Yaoguang, I didn't find it. I almost put my face on the wall door." Tao Haiyang said happily, as if he forgot what he said earlier about being close to his hometown.

"Go in." Lin Rantong said, every minute and every second is precious now, more than 100 million people are waiting for her.

The gate of the stubborn stone base was actually closed, Lin Rantong turned his head and asked, "Tao Haiyang, does the stubborn stone usually not open the gate?"

Tao Haiyang shook his head: "No, it's so inconvenient for people to come in and out." As he spoke, he stepped forward and slammed on the door.

The door opened a crack, revealing a head, looked at Lin Rantong and the two, couldn't hide the surprise on his face, thought to himself that this couple looks so good, I've never seen them in the door for so long, Said: "Going to the city?"

Seeing this strange face, Tao Haiyang seemed relieved, and said with a smile, "Yes, brother, we are going into the city, why is the gate of the base closed?"

The man opened his eyes wide and asked, "You, you also come from somewhere else?"

"You can see this?" Tao Haiyang wondered.

The man seemed to be quite talkative, and Tao Haiyang and Lin Rantong were so pleasing to the eye, they talked a lot: "No, a few days ago, two groups of people came, and it is said that they escaped from Yaoguang. We The gate of this base was not closed before, but since the dark not long ago, the leaders closed the gate for fear of any unexpected situation, and very few people in the base went out, so you ask , I knew you were from outside.

Lin Rantong didn't know what expression to make, and felt sorry for the first two groups of the proud sons of Yaoguang Base, who were all treated as refugees.

"Then big brother, let's go in." Lin Rantong saw that the man was talking eloquently, so he hurriedly said.

The man took out something like a pen and said: "Don't worry, test it first." He scanned Lin Rantong and Lin Rantong and found nothing abnormal before saying: "Okay, you can come in."

Lin Rantong and Lin Rantong finally entered the stubborn stone, and without looking further, Lin Rantong said: "Tao Haiyang, since you are a stubborn stone, you should know where the government office building is. Hurry up and lead us there."

Tao Haiyang nodded and said, "Let's go."

The layout of the stubborn stone is less elegant and free and easy than Yaoguang, but it is much more generous and heavy. Lin Rantong personally prefers this style, not for anything else, mainly because the roads here are all straight through, and the buildings are also four-four. Fang Fang, there are not so many streets and alleys that make her dizzy when she walks in.

There were not many people on the street, and Tao Haiyang ran quickly with Lin Rantong.

"Tao Haiyang, turn the corner, be careful—" before Lin Rantong finished speaking, he saw Tao Haiyang brake suddenly in front of him, and then heard a girl's voice: "Ouch!"

Before Lin Rantong knew how to react, Tao Haiyang grabbed her hand suddenly and ran away in a hurry.

A girl's exasperated voice came from behind: "Who is so unqualified, run away after bumping into someone, don't let Miss Ben catch you!"

After finishing speaking, the girl was startled again: "No, why did that feel so familiar just now?"

The girl shook her head, thinking to herself that she was overthinking, and walked forward feeling unlucky.

Tao Haiyang ran for a long distance before stopping, and patted his chest in shock: "Oh, I was scared to death, thankfully I ran fast."

Lin Rantong looked at him with a half-smile: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"What's going on, that kind of little girl is unreasonable. If she gets entangled endlessly, it's better to run away." Tao Haiyang said.

Seeing Tao Haiyang pretending to be stupid, Lin Rantong curled his lips: "Do you know each other?"

Tao Haiyang swayed and almost fell down. He pointed at Lin Rantong with one hand and said, "You, how do you know?"

Lin Rantong said indifferently: "A fool can see it. I don't know how you can escape so quickly after seeing a beautiful woman?"

Tao Haiyang smiled awkwardly and said, "Rantong, do you still want to finish the mission early and go back?"

"nonsense."

"Then don't ask any more questions. Anyway, it's far away from that aunt. If you get entangled by her, you won't be able to leave. Look, the government office building is over there." Tao Haiyang said while pointing to the front left road.

The two walked two steps forward.

"Stop!" A young man said sullenly.

Tao Haiyang stretched out his hand to pat the man and said, "Xiao Wu, don't be so serious, you don't know me anymore?"

Xiao Wu took a closer look, and suddenly his eyes widened: "You, you are Tao—"

"Haha, even if you have a conscience, you still remember me, stop talking nonsense, and take us in quickly, we have something urgent." Tao Haiyang said.

Xiao Wu said in embarrassment: "Young Master Tao, the leader has ordered you not to let anyone in casually."

Tao Haiyang raised his eyebrows: "Hey, why haven't I heard of this rule before?"

"Isn't there a lot of things going on during this time? The base has received many people from Yaoguang. How to arrange them is still a big problem. The chief brings a group of ministers to meetings every day, saying that no one else is allowed to come in. Ah, I'm not saying you're an idler, I mean, it's—" Xiao Wu groaned for a long time but couldn't find a reason to hide it.

Tao Haiyang narrowed his big eyes: "Idlers waiting? Xiao Wu, it's been a long time since I saw you. You're itchy, have you told the truth? No, what's the truth? Am I an idler?"

Lin Rantong couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Young Master Tao, don't embarrass me." Xiao Wu pleaded.

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. I haven't been back for so long. Naturally, something important will happen when I come back. Is the chief in there?" Tao Haiyang said.

"The chief is here, but—"

Tao Haiyang's face darkened: "Why, I'm still not allowed to go in, then I can go, my father is also inside, if he knows you didn't let me in, and I go again, then—"

Xiao Wu bowed his head when he heard this, and said to the people beside him: "Xiao Ma, please stay here and watch out for the idlers to come in. I'll take Tao Shao and the others in."

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he led Tao Haiyang and the two reluctantly inside.

"Little Ma, who were the two just now? Why did they look so familiar with Wu Tou?" one person asked.

Xiao Ma squinted his eyes and said: "You didn't know when you first came here, but that man is a well-known young master in the base, he likes to play with cats and dogs, and run amok."

"Ah, then why did Wu Tou bring them in?" Another person asked.

Xiao Ma shook his head: "Why don't you go in? You don't know that the young master has been missing for several months, and the hair of the man above him has turned gray. He finally came back alive and kicked. If we don't let him in and run away Well, who can afford it."

Everyone nodded, and one of them said: "That's right, we can't take this responsibility, tsk tsk, but the chick behind him is really beautiful, a little bit more beautiful than the most beautiful beauties in our base, that young master really has it!" Yanfu, that chick is only eighteen or nineteen years old, if it takes another two years, wouldn't she become a fairy."

Xiao Ma patted him on the head: "Don't flirt, you boy. I think that flamboyant young man has taken care of it, so he brought his little daughter-in-law to see his in-laws."

"Oh, it's true that people are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away. I heard that the young man is just an ordinary speed mutant, not as good as us, or that he will be reincarnated." The person who passed Tao Haiyang said.

Xiao Ma glared at him: "You said that too, don't know if the trouble comes from your mouth, well, everyone, don't surround yourself, stand your guard, there have been so many things recently, don't let idle people wait to fish in troubled waters mixed in."

A group of people stood upright, but their hearts were filled with sourness.

Xiao Wu led Tao Haiyang and the others into a room and said, "Young Master Tao, you wait here for a while, the chief and the others are in a meeting."

Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to go out, Tao Haiyang hurriedly said: "Don't go, that's not a good time, where is the meeting, hurry up and take us there!"

Xiao Wu's face completely collapsed: "Young Master Tao, please be considerate of me, it's already against the rules for me to let you in, I have to wait until the chief's meeting is over, you don't have to rush your daughter-in-law Show it to your in-laws."

"What did he say?" Lin Rantong was stunned gorgeously.

After Tao Haiyang heard those words, he felt as if he had drunk ice soda in June, and the corners of his mouth could not help but grin on his cheeks: "Don't listen to that kid's nonsense. Xiao Wu, we have important things to do here this time. Find the chief."

Seeing that Xiao Wu still had a bitter face, Tao Haiyang simply pulled Lin Rantong to stand up: "Go, let's go by ourselves if he doesn't lead the way, anyway, I know where the meeting room is!"

There is a long oval conference table in the large conference room, and the table is full of people. In the middle, Wei You, the top leader of the Rock Base, sits. On his left, all the ministries of the Stone The leader, sitting on the right hand side are the outsiders from Yaoguang.

"Okay, the situation is like this, what do you think?" Wei You asked, looking around at the crowd.

"Young Master Tao, you can't go in, alas."

Everyone in the conference room frowned, what's going on?

The door of the conference room was pushed open suddenly, and Tao Haiyang rushed in with Lin Rantong.

Many people in the conference room stood up suddenly.

"Xiao Tao?"

"Captain Lin?"

All kinds of voices came, and the originally solemn meeting room suddenly became a vegetable market.

Before everyone could react from the chaotic state, a man in his 50s pulled out his belt neatly, held his pants in one hand, and rushed over with the belt in the other: "Nie Zi, you still have the face to come back! "

"Hey, hey, don't slap your face, don't slap your face!" Tao Haiyang held his head and ran around.

The originally chaotic crowd suddenly fell silent, staring at this scene dumbfounded, for a moment, everyone forgot to speak.
