Zhang Song snorted and picked up the coin to examine it. "Is this what the organizing committee asked us to find?"
Li Han'er: "It seems to be, take it and ask the head of the regiment."
Suddenly, Watanabe's body twitched.
Before he could open his eyes, Zhang Song raised his sword and cut off Watanabe's head.
There is no doubt that Watanabe is already dead. There is a sudden movement at this moment. It must be infected with corpse poison. Zhang Song will naturally not show mercy.
On the winter solstice, they ran a stealth and killed three second-level zombies. It was not easy, but everyone was fine.
"This is indeed a silver coin. The rules of the game say that if you can't find any golden apples, it will be calculated by the number of silver coins."
He took the silver coin in Zhang Song's hand and inspected it carefully. The English abbreviation of the exchange conference was printed on it, as well as the patterns of four islands, and each island had a corresponding English name under it.
"Diana Island, look, we should be here now." Winter Solstice found that this silver coin could also be used as a brief azimuth map, at least from the concealment, it was possible to see the azimuth of the island where they are now and other islands.
"Diana Island is surrounded by three other islands. We can go to Full Moon Island first, and then from Full Moon Island to Rose Island."
Liu Qingbo couldn't help but complain: "Why do these islands have such nice names, is the Yankee psychopath? What about Rose Island, Full Moon Island, Diana Island, in fact, zombies are running all over the place!"
Winter Solstice Yile: "It rhymes!"
Liu Qingbo: "Speak seriously!"
Yoshida looked at them with some envy. Her team was always full of strict and distinct ranks. She was of the lowest status among the four, so she could only obey the captain unconditionally. It was impossible to joke like the Winter Solstice and the others. The atmosphere of harmony, if it is in such a team, even if there are many dangers around, the pressure will not be so great.
"Mr. Watanabe is our head." Yoshida suddenly said.
"This one?" Dongzhi pointed at the person whose body had been separated.
Yoshida nodded and said sadly: "After we went ashore, Mr. Watanabe wanted to enter the forest to look for the golden apple, but he encountered a group of zombies, and the four of us were scattered. I was with Mr. Watanabe, but just now..."
The winter solstice asked casually, "Do you have a good relationship?"
Yoshida said: "Mr. Watanabe is the priest of Ise Jingu. We have only met once and are not familiar with each other. In this exchange meeting, I heard that no one came forward to organize it. It was Mr. Watanabe who found my teacher, teacher. He recommended me again. I heard that one of the requirements for participating in the conference is that each team must have more than four people, so after our team reached four people, Mr. Watanabe applied to the above, and then the government came forward to facilitate this trip. Among the four, in fact, my qualifications are the least, and I only need to obey orders."
Her Chinese is good, but after all, she is not her native language, so she speaks word by word, very slowly.
The Winter Solstice praised: "You speak Chinese fluently."
Yoshida was a little embarrassed: "I studied languages in college, and I took Chinese as an elective. When I was a junior, I entered the shrine by fate and became a priest."
The winter solstice handed over one of the silver coins.
"Without your companion, we might not have found the silver coin so quickly. He bought it with his life. Take it."
Yoshida was stunned and did not respond for a while.
Liu Qingbo pouted and said in his heart to be polite to Little Japan, but he also knew that he would save face for the regiment leader in front of outsiders. Besides, there was a grievance and a debt, and they had a deep feud with Otoyu Jiuyan, and it was impossible to take all of them. The Japanese are all angry, of course, the feeling of disgust is inevitable.
"Are you from Otowa Hatohiko?"
Just when Yoshida stretched out his hand and wanted to take the silver coin, the Winter Solstice suddenly asked.
He deliberately chose to ask at such a point in time, because when people are caught off guard, it is difficult to fake their expressions, unless the other party has the psychological quality of a movie king. This is what Long Shen taught him. tricks.
Yoshida's strength can't be said to be able to defeat a hundred with one, otherwise, she will not be chased by zombies and scream for help. It stands to reason that her psychological quality is not good enough to quickly calm down and lie in half a second.
"Who is the Otowa Hatohiko you're talking about?" Yoshida's face really showed obvious doubts, "Is he the president of the Otowa Consortium?"
The Otowa Consortium is famous in Japan. It is impossible for Yoshida not to have heard the name Otowa Hatohiko, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this Otowa president is a big businessman. At most, a prefix with a deep background will not be associated with him at all. contacted together.
Winter Solstice: "Yes."
Yoshida shook his head: "I don't know."
Winter Solstice looked Yoshida in the eyes, the latter did not dodge.
It seems that the other party is indeed not from Otowa Hatohiko, and it has nothing to do with Fujikawa Aoi.
Otowa Hatohiko hid his identity deeply, but pushed Fujikawa Aoi and others in front of the stage. Fujikawa seemed to be very capable, but in fact he was nothing more than Otowa's puppet. Although the old man was replaced last time, he was also seriously injured. Body, dying, and spent most of his life, it is estimated that there is no strength to come out to toss for the time being.
"Sorry, I just asked." Dongzhi said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter." Yoshida smiled and took the silver coin in his hand.
Her appearance can only be called delicate, but when she smiles, there is a kind of childish cuteness.
"Mr. Winter..." Yoshida hesitated, but before she could say it, another voice grabbed everyone's attention.
"There are also silver coins here."
Li Han'er bent down and picked up a silver coin not far from Watanabe's corpse. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dead branches and leaves. The silver coin just fell directly into the gap of the dead leaves. If she hadn't been careful, it would have been really difficult. Find.
With such a discovery, everyone followed the direction of the dropped silver coins and found two more coins one after another, all of which were scattered in different positions in the same direction.
Looking in this direction, they walked a few dozen meters and saw a small sack the size of a slap on the ground. It had been broken open, and seven or eight silver coins were scattered around. Judging from the traces, the sack should have been thrown from the sky. down.
Yoshida snorted: "I didn't find this sack before I separated from Mr. Watanabe."
That is to say, this sack was only discovered after Watanabe was singled out. He probably lost his vigilance against the surrounding environment because he picked up these silver coins and was surprised at that time. As a result, the ambushed zombies killed him.
The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, and they become the ultimate beneficiaries on the winter solstice.
Yoshida was very smart, and before the Winter Solstice spoke, he said: "Mr. Winter, Mr. Watanabe is dead, and the other two companions are missing. I can't go to the end alone, and it is useless to hold silver coins. Since you found out Yes, it should be yours."
In fact, even if she didn't say it, it was impossible for Liu Qingbo and the others to leave the silver coins to Yoshida, but she took the initiative to express her position, which undoubtedly added a touch of favor.
Winter Solstice: "What's your plan next?"
Yoshida asked cautiously, "Can I go with you first?"
It is impossible for her to search for the whereabouts of the other two companions by herself alone. As long as they are placed on the list, they will be besieged by zombies within ten minutes.
Winter Solstice: "What about your two companions?"
Yoshida said: "I figured out the forest and waited for them outside. If I could wait, I would persuade them to leave early and quit the game. After all, with the three of us alone, the possibility of customs clearance is almost non-existent, and the other three islands must be more dangerous."
A very wise choice, this girl does not have the kind of hostility that the Japanese had seen before the winter solstice, and her temperament is more peaceful and harmless than Li Han'er. She is indeed not suitable to survive in this environment.
Although the winter solstice is the head of the regiment, it is not a single word. This kind of thing naturally requires the opinions of his companions. Li Haner, who is also a woman, has a better attitude towards Yoshida and agrees to Yoshida's request.
Liu Qingbo also agreed, but what he thought was that instead of leaving this person behind and letting her do things in secret where he couldn't see, he might as well keep her under his nose for easy surveillance.
Since the head and deputy heads have passed, the others will have no opinion.
Watanabe died here, and the corpse would definitely not be able to be brought back for burial. Yoshida was born in a shrine priestess, so he did a simple funeral ceremony for him next to him, and then put a fire and put Watanabe's corpse in the place. Purified in the flames, Yoshida folded his hands together and whispered a prayer.
After doing all this, Dongzhi and others also searched the neighborhood and picked up all the silver coins they could pick up. They now have a total of eleven silver coins, which seems to be quite a lot. It's impossible to predict your own odds.
Yoshida temporarily gained the trust of everyone, but everyone would not completely let go of their vigilance. She was very conscious and took the initiative to walk at the front of the team without waiting for others to speak.
They never encountered any danger on the way.
It is also true that ordinary zombies have basically been wiped out, leaving sporadic second-level zombies and third-level zombies. These zombies already have preliminary intelligence, and third-level zombies are even well versed in cunning hunting habits. There are many forces and strong combat power. After the zombies have learned the previous lessons, they will definitely only ambush in the dark and wait for an opportunity to attack, and will not rush out to die.
But everyone did not relax their vigilance. After walking for most of the afternoon, the sky gradually became gloomy, but seeing that the road ahead was long, and to reach the other side of the forest, there was probably still a considerable distance, so I suggested finding a slightly flat and open place for the winter solstice. Where to spend the night first, then hit the road tomorrow morning.
Everyone brought enough dry food, but dry food is worse than eating hot rice to warm the stomach. Just as Liu Qingbo looked at the compressed biscuits he took out of his bag, he saw the Winter Solstice from his backpack. Take out a small bag of rice, a small pot, and a bottle of pickled dried radish.
"When did you put the rice in, why didn't I find it?" Liu Qingbo's face was full of disbelief.
Winter Solstice: "Just before you go abroad, didn't I ask you if you want to bring rice?"
Liu Qingbo's mouth twitched: "Didn't I say no!"
Winter Solstice innocently said: "But I want to eat it, don't you want to?"
Liu Qingbo: …
He couldn't say what he didn't want to say, he was just too lazy to take it.
In order to save water resources, there is no need to wash the rice. In the winter solstice, I directly added some water and set the pot on the fire. When the sky darkened completely, the aroma of the rice wafted out of the pot, accompanied by the burning wood of the firewood. Incense, even Yoshida Noriko couldn't help swallowing.
White rice and pickled dried radish are the simplest and most common food on the outside, but on this deserted island far from the land, there are only zombies and no game, but it is a rare delicacy. Delicious, I saw the fragrant and soft rice at the moment, and suddenly woke up the sleeping Chinese stomach. Even if the rice is only enough for everyone to eat, it may not be enough to eat, but it is enough to comfort the stomach after a long journey.
Yoshida didn't expect to get a small bowl too. When she was holding the rice, she was so moved that she was about to cry. She repeatedly said thank you to the winter solstice. The winter solstice thought her reaction was too exaggerated. It's not just this bowl of rice, but the death of his companions, and his own future is uncertain.
A small jar of dried pickled radishes is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the bottom is about to be seen. On the winter solstice, a small jar of pickled cucumbers was taken out of the bag.
"Come on, if you don't have enough food, there's more here."
Crowd:
Everyone carried a backpack, but everyone brought some daily necessities. Water is of course essential, but it is said that the organizer has put a lot of fresh water tanks on each island, as long as they walk out of the forest , you don't have to worry about the lack of fresh water, but in addition to the daily drinking water, sleeping bags and dry food must be added to the backpack.
But who would have thought that the head of the regiment was so capable, the backpack looked small, and it was actually stuffed with so many things.
Compared to other people's fuss, Liu Qingbo was already numb. After all, the winter solstice was to chase after someone who had no support and a warm baby, so what's weird about bringing a jar of pickled dried radish.
Liu Qingbo couldn't help his forehead: "To be honest, besides these, what else did you bring?"
During the winter solstice, take out a bag of dried noodles. "This is our food for tomorrow."
Liu Qingbo: Did you really bring it? !
Liu Si couldn't help laughing: "Do you just eat noodles in clear soup?"
The winter solstice grinned: "I brought salt, as well as dehydrated vegetable packs and dehydrated egg drop soup packs."
Yang Shouyi couldn't help but cast a respectful look towards the Winter Solstice.
Look at the head of the regiment, even everyone's eating habits have been taken into account. If it was me back then, can I really think about all these details? Yang Shouyi felt that he might not be able to, so he was even more convinced of the Winter Solstice.
Li Han'er was a little more reserved and didn't speak, but she did have a great change in her mind about the Winter Solstice. From the beginning, she felt that he was not worthy of being Long Shen's disciple. Now, although she doesn't say it, she obeys the Winter Solstice and never questioned it again. She may still not like this person very much, but she cannot deny his ability.
Winter Solstice didn't notice Li Han'er's subtle mood, but even if he did, he wouldn't pay too much attention.
"There are still more than ten days in the future. According to my estimation, this forest covers almost half of the island. If we want to cross over, it will take at least a day or two. During this time, we will definitely use up what we have. Drinking water, so when the time comes out of the forest, there will be two groups of people, one group will look for fresh water tanks, and the other group will look for the speedboat to leave here."
This arrangement is very comprehensive, and everyone nodded.
Liu Qingbo said: "I don't think there will be any golden apples on this island. It's better to leave early. It's annoying to face this group of zombies all day."
Winter Solstice nodded in agreement: "The silver coin we picked up just now, the sack was broken, it should have been dropped by the organizer directly, they should have never landed on this island, even if there are golden apples here, at most it is like silver coins. Airdrop, whether we can find it depends on our lives, we can’t spend all our time on this island, we go straight to the next island when we go out all the way.”
In this place, the ordinary dried pickled radish and dried cucumbers have become a rare delicacy. Everyone ate all the rice, and the bonfire conveyed the warmth, which is quite warm and lazy. Tonight's round At the winter solstice, Liu Qingbo was in charge of the second half of the night. Everyone took out their sleeping bags and slept in a circle around the bonfire, trying not to be too far apart to avoid accidents.
Yoshida herself brought a sleeping bag, but she didn't feel sleepy at all after she lay down. Looking at the figure sitting by the bonfire on the Winter Solstice, she bit her lip and struggled for a moment, and finally got up.
The Winter Solstice immediately noticed it and looked back at her. Yoshida was afraid of waking up others, so he gestured to indicate whether he could sit down beside him, and the Winter Solstice nodded.
"Fuyu-kun, I have hesitated for a long time, and I think I should tell you." Yoshida whispered, "This time with me, in addition to the head of the regiment, Mr. Watanabe, there are also two onmyoji. Friends of Nakai, and Tomomi Eguchi."
When I heard the last name, the Winter Solstice couldn't help but be taken aback.
Because he remembered the four members of the Japanese team, one female and three males, and the other three were definitely male, but the name Eguchi Tomomi, no matter how you heard it, sounded like a girl's name.
But then he remembered another incident.
He Yu once told him that Aoi, Fujikawa Aoi, was a common name for women, and was ridiculed before he became famous, but after he established his position in the Japanese spiritual world, this ridicule turned into flattery and even fanaticism. In order to please him, the elements worshipped him and changed their name to a female name.
Thinking of this, Dongzhi blurted out, "Is that Eguchi Tomomi a disciple of Fujikawa Aoi?"
Yoshida was also a little surprised: "You know?"
Winter Solstice smiled bitterly: "As soon as you said the name, I guessed it. The Japanese team's list was the last to be reported. We didn't know it when we set off. Later, when I saw that it was not Fujikawa, I didn't pay much attention."
Yoshida nodded: "So it is, I am not familiar with Eguchi Tomomi. I heard that his original name was Eguchi Takashi, but he changed his female name later. It can be seen that he admires Mr. Fujikawa. And when I was with them, I also I heard Eguchi say that Mr. Fujikawa was seriously injured because of the dragon, and you are Long Shen's disciple, so he wants to seek revenge for you, and he wants to take revenge."
She had a worried look on her face: "Mr. Watanabe said before that he should focus on the overall situation and not let him mess up. Now that Mr. Watanabe is dead, no one suppresses him, and we are all separated again. If he is still wandering on the island, say It may not be good for you, you have to be careful."
In fact, even if Yoshida didn't say these things, the winter solstice might not have anything to do with it. First, they were numerous and powerful, and they were not afraid of a mere Jiangkou. Second, when the winter solstice came, he didn't think Jiangkou could be so powerful. Otherwise, he would have become the regiment commander. Yoshida could tell him that he must have struggled for a long time.
Winter Solstice said sincerely: "Thank you, I know you must be under a lot of pressure for telling me this."
Yoshida smiled bitterly: "Actually, I also hesitated for a long time. If I say it, I will undoubtedly become a betrayal, but you are so good to me, and you have not left me. If I don't say it, I am afraid that my conscience will always be condemned."
Winter Solstice said: "I won't tell you what you told me, and you don't need to tell others. When you leave the forest, you can leave here by speedboat and go back to your hometown."
Yoshida summoned his courage: "Then, can I go to China to find you in the future?"
Winter Solstice blinked: "If you come to visit and exchange with the group, I will definitely entertain you."
This is not the answer Yoshida wanted. She heard the politeness in the other party's tone and felt a little disappointed, but she still nodded with a smile: "Okay, our shrine will have a quota for foreign exchange visits every year. After I go back, I will Just apply to my teacher, he loves me very much and will definitely agree."
Winter Solstice said: "Then you just come back empty-handed and won't be punished?"
Yoshida sighed in a low voice: "No way, there are only four of us, and the number of people is small. Now Mr. Watanabe has passed away, and the remaining three people can't complete the task anyway. In fact, it's fine, I didn't want to go. Harmful, if Eguchi is still there, he must be trying to get revenge on you now."
Winter Solstice: "It doesn't matter, since he's worried, even if it's not this time, there will be another time sooner or later."
Yoshida opened his mouth and was about to say something, but found that the winter solstice was getting closer and closer, and the distance between the two had exceeded the boundaries of ordinary friends.
"Dong, Mr. Dong?" She stammered, she could even feel that the lips of the winter solstice were only a few feet away from her cheek, as if she was about to kiss at any time.
"Don't move." She heard the winter solstice whisper, "Don't look back. Not far behind you, there seems to be an invisible zombie."
Yoshida didn't look back, but her hair stood on end, and her body froze all of a sudden.
The author has something to say: Winter·Doraemon·Zhi is here.
Liu Qingbo: I still remember the fear of being dominated by a warm baby under the Huai River that day...
Winter Solstice: Are you moved
Liu Qingbo: (face expressionless) I dare not move.
