Among the three, Tang Xin was in the best condition. His backpack was almost bulging. No matter how tired he was, he had no intention of reducing it, because Tang Miao had prepared nothing for him that was impractical. Gu Linfeng’s carry-on backpack had been lost in the previous fight, his coat was stained with blood, and his wrists were also wrapped with bandages; Zhang Dengji was not injured, but his coat was almost incomplete. There was half a jug of water and two sacks of bread left, and the rest were bullets.
"Let me carry it?" Zhang Dengji looked at the sweat on Tang Xin's face and neck and asked authentically.
"Thank you, I'm fine." Tang Xin declined. It's not that he doesn't trust Zhang Dengji. In case he accidentally separates from Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng, the backpack will be his life-saving tool. This way, they were really unlucky. After being forced to separate from the big team by the tiger, he, Zhang Dengji, Gu Linfeng, Chen Yue and five other soldiers ran for a while in a panic and lost their way in the forest. In desperation, they had no choice but to follow the sun. They met some prey on the road, and they killed them and put them in Chen Yue's space.
But when it came time to settle for dinner, trouble began. Both Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng wanted to take care of Tang Xin. Although Tang Xin refused their share of food and water, Chen Yue was dissatisfied. Chen Yue sneered at Tang Xin. Tang Xin is a proud person, how could he allow others to ride on his head, and retort unceremoniously, Chen Yue was so angry that he cried. After finally dawn, Tang Xin proposed to walk in the direction of the lower terrain, but Chen Yue went against him, and left on his own without waiting for Gu Linfeng and Zhang Dengji to express their views. The rest had no choice but to chase.
A group of people hadn't gone far when the mutated wild leopard suddenly appeared and bit off Chen Yue's throat in the blink of an eye. Chen Yue was killed on the spot. The rest quickly activated their abilities to deal with the wild leopard. After the wild leopards were eliminated, only five people remained in the nine-member team. After that, they encountered three mutated birds and pecked two soldiers. After the two soldiers were infected, they turned into zombies and were dealt with by Zhang Dengji. In the end, only Tang Xin, Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng were left.
Tang Xin's equipment was relatively adequate. Although he didn't dare to eat very full, at least he wasn't thirsty, nor was he hungry. Gu Linfeng and Zhang Dengji were even more miserable. They still had a few pancakes on their bodies and hadn't had a sip of water all day. They only picked a few wild fruits and ate a few mouthfuls on the way. They can hunt for food, but they can't eat raw food, and if they want to eat cooked food, they have to delay more time.
Tang Xin knew that only by working together could he go out. He once offered a water bottle to Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng, but neither of them accepted it. Tang Xin didn't force them.
"Let's go outside." Tang Xin thought for a while and made up his mind.
Gu Linfeng immediately objected: "No way. We have been going east, and we can always get out. If we go north now, we may go deeper into the forest."
"Is it because of the smell of gasoline?" Zhang Dengji watched Tang Xin step on a branch and slipped, and he quickly grabbed his arm.
"Yes, there must be someone over there." Tang Xin raised his head to feel the breeze blowing over, and the heat on his body dropped a bit. The potion Tang Sihuang gave him (actually well water) strengthened his sense of smell, so he could smell something that neither Zhang Dengji nor Gu Linfeng could smell.
"Let's go." Zhang Dengji nodded, leading the way, cutting off the blocking branches with the knife in his hand.
Gu Linfeng's eyes darkened, then he smiled and walked a few steps to the front of Zhang Dengji.
"Young Master Zhang, let me lead the way, your queen. I have supernatural powers, and I can respond in time if there is any situation."
Tang Xin was a little confused. He is simply a non-staff member. What does it mean for Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng to protect him like this? He didn't want to owe them a favor. Frowning, he walked a few steps quickly, overtook Gu Linfeng, raised his right hand, and a sharp wind blade flew out, and several thick branches in front of him broke with a few "cracks" and flew one meter away. In front of Tang Xin, there appeared a path that was spacious enough and barrier-free.
Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng stopped walking at the same time, feeling cold in their chests.
Tang Xin turned around as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile, "Why don't you leave?"
After all, he didn't wait for the two to answer, he walked calmly and quickly walked in the direction where the smell of gasoline wafted out.
Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng quickly followed...
Tang Miao scanned with mental power every five minutes, and suddenly caught the movement of human beings. He thought it was an illusion, and tried again to be sure. He pushed Tang Sihuang and made a gesture.
Tang Sihuang opened his eyes, very awake.
Tang Miao walked to the door and stared at the front. The tiger also seemed to be aware of the movement in the distance, and opened its closed eyes.
The rattling of branches was getting closer and closer, and with one hand pushing aside the bushes, Tang Xin's figure suddenly appeared, and Tang Miao was taken aback.
"Tang Miao!" Tang Xin ran over in surprise, and finally let go of the heart she had been carrying all along, "Are you okay? Is Dad with you?"
"Tang Xin. Don't worry, Daddy is with me, he's resting inside." Tang Miao was also relieved to see him, and turned to Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng.
"Ah!" Tang Xin noticed the tiger under the tree at this moment, and took a few steps back in shock, "It?" Then he saw the bandage marks on the tiger.
Tang Miao said: "Don't be nervous, it is not aggressive now."
It smells so good... Gu Linfeng patted his stomach indiscriminately, and saw Ye Lin and the others in the car, all holding bowls.
"Dad is resting inside? Could it be that he was injured?" Tang Xin's face changed slightly. He was already hungry and tired, but he couldn't take care of it now.
When this matter was mentioned, Tang Miao felt annoyed: "Daddy was accidentally injured by a bullet."
"What? Got a gunshot wound? I'll go see Dad first." Tang Xin quickly climbed into the car.
Ye Lin and the others were surprised and delighted to see Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng, and hurriedly gave up their seats to them: "Young Master Zhang, Young Master Gu, it's great to see you, come in quickly. Uh..." He glanced at the pot with only one mouthful of soup left , a little embarrassing.
"How could Mr. Tang be injured?" Zhang Dengji still looked upright, looking around Liu Dong, Xu Yi and Zhao Jiaqiang indifferently.
Liu Dong quickly explained: "Before the tiger attacked, the situation was chaotic. Mr. Tang was accidentally injured by a stray bullet."
"Daddy, bring out some meat, vermicelli and flour, and I'll make something for Tang Xin."
Tang Sihuang took out the cooking stove gas tank and ingredients, and Tang Miao got out of the car one by one. Ye Lin and Xu Yi helped build a simple stove. Tang Miao quickly roasted the shredded pork, added water, and added vermicelli. After a while, a strong fragrance wafted out. Tang Miao was frying noodle cakes on another stove.
Although Liu Dong and the others were full, they couldn't help looking over there. They hadn't eaten meat before. But this meat is obviously owned by the Tang family, and they have no right to say anything.
Tang Xin chatted with Tang Sihuang for a few words, and immediately guessed that Tang Sihuang was injured while saving him, and felt very guilty, but there is no need to say thank you between father and son, just be more filial in the future.
"Dinner is ready." Tang Miao stuck her head in and shouted.
"Here we come," Tang Xin was attracted by the scent, got out of the car quickly, and handed a bowl to Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Gu, my brother's craftsmanship is very good, you are lucky."
Both Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng saw Tang Miao's three bowls and chopsticks on the stove, but they were not invited, and they couldn't be too self-conscious, so they took the bowls to thank them.
While eating, Zhang Dengji asked Liu Dong a few questions. The two sides communicated for a while, and roughly figured out what happened to each other.
Zhang Dengji said: "The task must be done. We will start after we finish eating. Liu Dong, stay and protect Mr. Tang."
"Yes." With two superiors, Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng, Liu Dong and the others had more confidence.
After eating in a hurry and resting for less than half an hour, Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng left with Ye Lin, Zhao Jiaqiang and Xu Yi and a rabbit as bait. They borrowed a few clothes and bottles of water from Tang Sihuang, and deducted them from their salary when they returned to the base.
Both Tang Xin and Tang Miao were non-staff personnel, and they were very tired these days, so they didn't go with them and stayed with Tang Sihuang.
When Tang Xin came back, Tang Miao was really relieved, so she could take care of her own affairs, and asked Tang Sihuang to take some firewood from the space and set up a pot to boil water. Because gasoline was spilled on the ground, Liu Dong dug a hole in the ground with a shovel to help him set up the fire. Tang Miao asked Tang Xin to make a simple bathroom with sheets.
Tang Sihuang looked at the fluttering sheets through the window, and smiled inexplicably.
After taking a hot bath and changing into clean clothes, Tang Miao hummed comfortably. After he finished washing, it was Tang Xin's turn. Liu Dong watched, the corners of his mouth twitching enviously. He also wants to take a bath, but the problem is that he has no clothes to change.
Zhang Dengji didn't go far either, he took people hunting nearby, went back and forth several times, and brought back a lot of prey. Because they came here for hunting, they have plenty of bullets. After Chen Yue's death, the space also collapsed, and everything in the space appeared out of thin air. They only picked up bullets, and they couldn't bring other materials with them, so they had to give up unfortunately.
On the last trip, Zhang Dengji and others rushed back before dark. Tang Xin was pouring water to wash Tang Miao's hands. Zhang Dengji and the others were very tired, so they sat and rested on the spot.
Seeing that Tang Miao fried three pancakes and started to cook soup, Gu Linfeng asked in wonder, "Is this enough for so many of us?"
Tang Miao looked at him with a half-smile: "Young Master Gu, I'm a non-staff member."
Gu Linfeng blushed, extremely embarrassed. They are right, they are a family, why should they cook for you? He coughed in disguise, telling Liu Dong and Ye Lin to prepare quickly.
Tang Xin laughed secretly. He had noticed that Zhang Dengji and Gu Linfeng were sitting there, and deliberately didn't point it out.
Tang Miao took the soup to the car to accompany Tang Sihuang to eat. Tang Sihuang still couldn't use his right hand, so Tang Miao held the cake for him.
Tang Sihuang took a bite of the soft pancake, and suddenly said, "Miao, boil some more water, I want to take a bath too."
"Ahem..." Tang Miao almost spit out the heat from her mouth.
