The sun had set and the wind was gradually picking up on the grassland. Hua Zhenxing stopped and looked at the surrounding environment: "It's time to rest. We will camp here tonight."
The camp he chose was a relatively sheltered place, and the grass nearby was not high. Hua Zhenxing also specially cleaned up the area. Rozchild also took off his backpack to help, and while working, he asked: "Do you want to get more branches?"
, how many bonfires to light?”
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "If you want to die, just give it a try."
Rothchild: "How can we protect ourselves from wild beasts without lighting a bonfire?"
Hua Zhenxing turned to look at him and said: "If you live in a cave, lighting a fire at the entrance of the cave can keep you warm and strengthen your courage, but lighting a fire on this grassland can ward off wild beasts? Not to mention the wind at night, sparks blowing
If you accidentally go out, you will burn the surrounding area, and we are on the run, so lighting a fire at night is not too conspicuous!"
Rothchild: "Oh, then don't light the fire."
Hua Zhenxing: "When the light shines, all kinds of flying insects will come over. Do you know how many kinds of insects there are here that can suck human blood?"
Rozchild nodded and said: "I understand. There are too many diseases here that are spread by mosquitoes. Have you brought insect repellent spray?"
Hua Zhenxing: "I have ointment. You can apply some ointment later. Let's set up the tent first."
Hua Zhenxing's tent was inserted into the side of the large long backpack. It was rolled up into a two-foot-long barrel shape. It was also prepared for him by Mo Shangtong. I don't know what kind of material the tent frame was made of. It was very light, strong, and elastic.
, even with the strength of Yihua Zhenxing's hand, he could not stop breaking it. The tent cloth was still camouflaged and looked very thin, but most people couldn't cut it with a knife.
It looks like this is a portable travel tent. After it is set up, it can barely accommodate two adults lying side by side. It is quite suitable for a couple, otherwise it will be a bit crowded for sleeping, but it is not insurmountable. Huazhenxing picked it up
Insert the water cup on the other side of the backpack, unscrew the lid and use it as a cup for Rothchild.
The two of them had to walk in the wilderness for three days, and this glass of water was certainly not enough. Fortunately, when they abandoned the car, they also took a large five-liter bucket of mineral water. Rothchild left in a hurry, and his backpack was filled with information and important information.
Except for a temporary pistol, he did not bring any other personal belongings necessary for traveling through the wilderness. He had not expected to take this route in advance.
Hua Zhenxing took out the dry food and handed it over: "Doctor Luo, if it's not convenient to light a fire, it's best not to heat things, otherwise the smell of food will float out and attract some wild animals. Just eat some dry food."
Rozchild tore open the soapy dry food package and took a sip of water. He looked a little surprised and said, "Is this marching rations? It's not as bad as I thought. It tastes pretty good."
Hua Zhenxing: "This is indeed the Dongguo military emergency ration. The first one was not very tasty and has been improved many times. The one you eat is tomato beef and pea flavor."
"What is this round thing? Is it the legendary Dali Pill from the Eastern Kingdom?"
"Well, this is not Dali Pill, it is a Bigu Pill that an elder prepared for me... There is no such word in English, Lanxi, or Banya, so just think of it as a kind of military ration. Dr. Luo knows Dongfang very well.
My country, have you even heard of Dali Pill?"
"I've only heard of it, I've never seen it, and no one from Dongguo I know has seen it."
"I haven't seen it either, and I don't even know if there is such a thing."
When Rozchild said the word "Daliwan", he pronounced it in Chinese. After the two of them finished eating the dry food, it was already dark. The starry sky on the grassland was particularly bright, and the outline of grass, trees and hills in the distance could be seen dimly. Huazhenxing
He stood up and said, "Hurry up and get some sleep first. I'll wake you up in two hours and we'll take turns keeping watch."
Hua Zhenxing took a piece of cloth from the bag as a cushion and sat cross-legged outside the tent. The barrel of the rifle was removed again, but the bayonet was still attached, like a short spear, inserted where he could easily pull it out.
The pistol was also placed beside him. His eyes were slightly closed, his posture was upright and relaxed, and his breathing gradually became inaudible as he adjusted his breathing, as if he was quietly blending into the night.
After about an hour and a half, Rozchild came out. As soon as he moved in the tent, Hua Zhenxing opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, turned around and asked: "It's not time yet, why don't you continue?"
Asleep?"
Rothchild sat down and lit a cigarette: "I'm already awake, I can't sleep."
Hua Zhenxing: "Are there any more cigarettes?"
Rozchild handed over the cigarette case and lighter: "Do you smoke too? This is not a good habit."
Hua Zhenxing: “I don’t smoke it, it’s just useful.”
He took a dozen cigarettes, tore open the rolling paper, took out the tobacco, stood up and spread it in a circle about seven or eight meters away from the tent. Rothchild looked at it curiously, as if this child was full of mystery, and his every move was confusing.
So special, he suddenly sniffed and asked: "What is this smell?"
Hua Zhenxing pointed to the ground next to him: "I lit the incense." There was a palm-sized copper box on the ground. There were many small holes in the lid. The firelight could not be seen from the outside, but there was a curl of aroma wafting out. If he didn't remind him,
, it’s really hard to see under the starlight.
Rothchild: "Is this the incense from the East? It has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. I see that you didn't apply any repellent ointment."
Hua Zhenxing: "This is the incense made by Boss Yang. It should have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but its main function is to calm the nerves. I don't use ointment because mosquitoes don't like to bite me. I've been like this since I was a child." He sipped as he spoke.
He pursed his lips and squeezed his lips together, feeling as if he had tasted something particularly bitter.
Old Yang has a homemade drink that is very bitter and very cold. After drinking it, he has to move his whole body to make him sweat. Old Yang has been letting him drink this kind of drink since he was a child. It is said that it can avoid mosquito bites.
Old Man Yang didn't lie to him about this. Huazhenxing has rarely been bitten by mosquitoes. When he is with a group of people, mosquitoes and fleas will go to others. There are often various epidemics in Fesoport, many of which are caused by mosquitoes.
It is spread by bites, and Hua Zhenxing is always lucky enough to avoid it.
He also asked Old Man Yang why mosquitoes wouldn't bite him after drinking a drink. Old Man Yang joked: "That's because your sweat is sour and your blood is smelly, and mosquitoes don't like it."
Of course Hua Zhenxing knew that Old Man Yang was talking nonsense, but he never felt that he had a sour smell. On the contrary, for a local like Shier, the smell of sweat was really touching. It seems that the effect of the drink is indeed good, but it is too
It’s so painful that it makes me want to curse!
Fortunately, after the age of twelve, Hua Zhenxing rarely drank anymore. He only drank one drink every few months at most, and the effect was always maintained. But every time before going to the wilderness, Old Man Yang would specially let him drink one drink.
Before going out for the first time, without Old Man Yang reminding him, he found it and drank a large drink.
It was difficult to explain these things to Dr. Luo in just a few words, and Luo Child looked at him with even more curiosity, and suddenly asked: "Hua, have you killed anyone before?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Why do you ask this?"
Rothchild: "The four people in that jeep died so tragically that it makes people not want to take a second look at the first glance. But if you look carefully, although their faces are very bad, they are not too obvious.
Stress reaction. I am a doctor and know that some reactions cannot be controlled by humans."
Hua Zhenxing: "You should know something about my experience. I was picked from the dead. Growing up in Port Feso, I saw too many dead people, and there were all kinds of ways to die."
Rothchild: "It's different. You killed those people today with your own hands."
Hua Zhenxing: "Has Dr. Luo ever killed anyone?"
Rozchild quickly shook his head: "No! I am a doctor. I have never killed anyone, only saved people."
Hua Zhenxing: "You didn't have any obvious reaction."
Rothchild: "I have seen many scenes like this. It is very common when I am a doctor in Port Feso. But you are different. You moved too fast when you fired before getting in the car. That is a kind of subconscious muscle memory.
, I can see it.”
Hua Zhenxing: "We have known each other for so long, when did you realize that I had killed someone before?"
Rothchild: "It's today. I couldn't see it or think of it before. You are different from many people here. You are a lovable child, so I am very surprised."
Hua Zhenxing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It's just that he couldn't tell. Old Yang had warned him since he was a child not to become violent because of killing people, let alone develop a cruel mind. A person's temperament can sometimes tell a lot.
Question. He was silent for a while before speaking: "I encountered a very unexpected thing today. I suddenly remembered the lightning on the grassland. Have you seen lightning?"
Rothchild was confused and said: "Of course I have seen it. Does this have anything to do with what happened today?"
The accident Hua Zhenxing was talking about was the "Mission System of Huanxiangguo" that suddenly appeared in his consciousness. Rozchild obviously misunderstood and thought it was a pursuit. Hua Zhenxing couldn't explain too much, so he just said
A story about going to the grassland to see lightning——
After Hua Zhenxing became wise, he had many doubts. For example, why is Feso Port so chaotic? Obviously, as long as we work hard and stop hurting each other, everyone's life and the world will become better. But many people here just idle around and play games.
Killing and killing are not doing your job properly.
Of course he asked Old Man Yang for advice, and the old man took him to the grassland, not to see lions or wolves, but to see lightning.
Old Man Yang pointed to the bright lightning in the distance and said: "Everything in the world, whether you are willing to accept it or not, is a fact when it appears. Don't question its existence anymore, because it already exists. You can only
Try to understand how this happened.
People in the desert in the northern part of the Black Waste Continent may have never seen lightning in their lives. When they come here and suddenly see lightning, they will be surprised how such a thing can exist in the world? This is impossible! But as long as it is something that has already appeared,
Nothing is impossible.
Ancient people didn't understand lightning and thought it was the anger of the gods, but it doesn't matter. As long as they know that lightning can kill people, they should not go to places where they are prone to being struck by lightning on rainy days. When looking at the world, always start from phenomena to rules, and understand the rules.
Later, we can also grasp phenomena, for example, modern people can already use electricity..."
Old Man Yang's words are not an answer at all, but are a bit pretentious. At a high level, they are just a methodological education, but they are very effective for Hua Zhenxing. In Hua Zhenxing's growth experience, he has witnessed countless dangerous and strange things, and it seems that they are all
What shouldn't have happened happened.
There is nothing in this world that cannot be explained, but you cannot explain it. If you think it is unscientific, it only proves that your scientific level is not enough! For example, Hua Zhenxing encountered a strange "system" today. Of course he did not tell Luo
Regarding Childe's "system", he just told the story of watching lightning.
Rozchild asked with some confusion: "What does this have to do with you killing someone?"
Hua Zhenxing changed his tone: "It was that time we went to see Lightning. On the way back, we met a group of poachers. They drove a car like yours, with a cargo compartment full of ivory, and turned behind a hill.
Come over, meet us face to face, and without saying anything, just shoot..."
