Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 73 The Difficult Road
Yu Jia seemed to have suddenly returned to normal, nodded and said, "Understood."

She suddenly approached Huang Quan, trying to seal his mouth.

Huang Quan instinctively leaned back, the distance was just right, the lips of the two were only a finger apart, but they would never touch each other.

"Why, am I not good enough?"

"Sorry, I already have someone."

"However, no matter the shelter or settlement, a man can have more than one woman, especially a strong man like you."

Huang Quan still shook his head and said, "If I do this, Yao will be sad."

"Yao, is that her name?"

"Well, it's a long way away."

"Very typical settlement name."

Huang Quan smiled, "Maybe."

"Okay, I see. Don't worry, I won't bother you again."

Yu Jia opened the curtain and left, but Huang Quan sighed in his heart.

He and Yu Jia have a common dream, and the dream has a common ending.Huang Quan grew up in the palace fights since he was a child, and went to the battlefield when he was still a child. There are countless magnificent scenery of the star field and fierce enemies to distract his mind.

But she lived in a small area of ​​the shelter and saw the same scenery for 20 years.The Yellow Spring in her dream may be the spiritual pillar that supports her to this day.

However, it was too late for the two to meet.

But Huang Quan never misses the past.

Its daybreak.

The torrential rain turned into continuous rain, and after a night of accumulation, the rainforest was muddy again.Marching in such a swamp-like place, one can imagine the hardships.

However, Huang Quan still called the team on time and embarked on the journey.

Fei Jian walked beside Huang Quan, with a worried look on his face, and said, "We are running out of food, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to the final assembly point."

"Well, I see, the original plan remains the same, let's move on."

"Do you want me to hunt some prey and come back?"

"No, there's nothing to hunt around right now."

In Huang Quan's perception, large birds and beasts have long since disappeared, and there are no living things in the rainforest. In the infrared vision, there is a dark green everywhere.

And in the field of vision of life, it is also a monotonous gray, occasionally there are a few small spots of light, all of which are small snakes as thick as fingers.It's a miracle they haven't frozen to death.

Days of heavy rain, the temperature dropped below ten degrees.

The cold weather and the muddy ground doubled people's physical exertion, so they naturally ate more.Originally planned to walk for three days, it took five days because of the heavy rain, and the food consumption was much greater than the original plan.

The torrential rain and severe cold have an additional effect, which is to drive or kill all the surrounding birds and animals, making it difficult for them to find food.

Huang Quan felt that the unknown force seemed to be making a fuss over a molehill.If you just want to deal with their team, wouldn't it be better to mobilize a large number of ogres?Why do such a thankless thing?

While thinking, Huang Quan also noticed that there was a faint sense of uneasiness in the team.

Everyone knows the action plan, and the status of the stored food, so everyone knows that with the current food, it can barely support the last destination, but it is not enough to return to the camp.

Fortunately, the more than 20 people are all elites among the elites, and no one has a different voice.

Huang Quan quickened his pace and walked to the front of the team.His steps were firm and steady, neither fast nor slow, just like that step by step, as if he could reach the end of the world.

Seeing Huang Quan like this, the soldiers' hearts gradually settled down, they stopped thinking about it, and followed Huang Quan forward in the rainforest.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the team finally arrived at the second destination.

This is a cliff, with a deep canyon in front of the cliff, and the endless rainforest on the other side of the canyon. The terrain is about [-] meters lower than this side, as if this side was suddenly lifted by some force.

According to the records of the shelter, the canyon used to be a big river, but later the rainforest spread here, the river disappeared and became a canyon, and the fertile land on both sides of the river was also occupied by the rainforest.

When standing on the cliff, the soldiers no longer had the heroic appearance when they first set off, their faces were deeply tired, and some of their eyes were empty and lifeless.Their combat uniforms were loose and dirty, and their hair was muddy and stuck to their faces.

Even Sun Zhan was in a panic. The first thing he did was not to look around, but to clean his mechanical legs.

Long-term high-intensity use caused minor problems with the mechanical legs, causing him to put maintenance and cleaning first, otherwise once the mechanical legs malfunctioned, it would be really bad.

Among the entire team, Huang Quan and the young girl Lu Yuanzhi were in the best condition.

Needless to say, Huang Quan, the girl touched the Stone of Life day and night, and her strength unexpectedly increased by leaps and bounds. Now the overall combat power may no longer be under the sky fire.She grew up in the rainforest again, and her actions are more relaxed and comfortable, with less consumption.Up to now, she is the best one.

Huang Quan stood on the edge of the cliff, his eyes slowly swept across the front.The depths of his pupils are constantly changing colors, scanning the surroundings in different patterns.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "There are no clues to the Holy Land here. Everyone rests. We will head to the third destination early tomorrow morning."

Disappointment and exhaustion spread among the soldiers, Huang Quan frowned and said nothing.

Although he didn't speak, his displeasure was written on his face.In Huang Quan's view, these were not hardships at all, and he hadn't encountered any enemies yet.

The fighters in the Sanctuary were all very strong in combat. Huang Quan was amazed when he saw them fighting the ogre for the first time.However, this long and arduous march exposed the problem that they had been confined to the sanctuary and holy land environment throughout their lives, and their willpower and discipline were far inferior to Huang Quan's dragoon warriors.

The camp was set up, half of the people rested, and the other half went to find food.But until nightfall, most people returned empty-handed.

Yao sneaked into Huang Quan's tent, holding a bowl of cooked porridge with jerky in his hands.She didn't say anything, just handed the porridge to Huang Quan.

"What is this for?"

"give you to eat."

Now the team has begun to implement ration rationing, and this bowl of porridge is a girl's daily ration.

Huang Quan pushed the porridge bowl back, and said softly, "I have something to eat, you need to conserve your strength."

"But I haven't seen you eat for a day!"

Huang Quan smiled and said, "Of course I ate, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be worried."

"What are you eating?" The girl didn't relax.

Huang Quan stretched out his hand, with a handful of leaves in his hand, "This is it."

"How can this be eaten?"

The leaves in the rainforest are astringent and tough, and can be twisted into rope after being boiled. One can imagine how rough the fibers inside are.In addition, the leaves of most tree species here contain more or less toxins, and except for a few animals and insects, rare creatures feed on them.

The same is true for the grass in the rainforest. The long grass leaves sometimes make a cut when you stroke a person.

If you eat too much of this kind of leaves, people will gradually become weak, and then die due to indigestion, accumulation of toxins and other reasons.Even if I eat a few tablets, I often vomit and vomit and get sick for a few days.

Huang Quan actually feeds on leaves, no wonder the girl was shocked.

Huang Quan smiled and said, "I'm not the same as you guys. For me, this food can be eaten as a meal, but it's not very tasty."

"But……"

"We haven't reached the point where we are starving to death, but I have to prepare for the next action. If I can save a little, I will have a better chance of success. But don't worry, I will never treat myself badly."

However, the girl's eyes were full of tears, staring at Huang Quan, she just shook her head and refused to listen.

Huang Quan was helpless, and said: "Of course I want to keep my combat power intact. If I'm fine, everyone will be fine. I'm not a fool who would sacrifice myself for the weak, understand?"

The girl felt a little relieved, and nodded with a vague understanding.

Huang Quan said again: "Okay, now you drink it obediently, don't leave any, or I will be angry."

But the girl insisted on letting Huang Quan take the first sip first, so she hesitated to finish it.She was actually very hungry. After eating a bowl of meat porridge, her complexion immediately improved a lot.

After one night, the team stepped out of the faint morning light and embarked on the journey.
