They didn't really run all night.
After discovering that the zombie beast behind him was attracted by the python, Xiang En asked a few people to stop and rest in place and stopped walking around.
Xiang En asked Ma Ji and the two of them to take action to clean up the zombie beasts chasing behind them, and then stayed where they were to rest. It was best to stay safely until tomorrow morning.
After sitting back-to-back with Andrea, Xiang En had time to think, or rather... think wildly.
I thought they were going to run like this all night, but Xiang En was already mentally prepared in advance. He never thought that the goddess of luck would still be on their side.
However, he raised his head and glanced at the red moon above his head, and couldn't help but think, is this really lucky
According to the original plan, he and Andrea should go on a non-dangerous adventure. After obtaining a large amount of life-saving skills and money, he would buy a piece of land from a small lord and recruit a few more capable and capable people. The maid who can fight spends the rest of her life.
Forget it, Xiang En doesn't think about it anymore. It's useless to think about these things anymore. Anyway, they can't go back to the life they once had.
The red moon will make zombie beasts and ghouls go berserk. He memorized this piece of information.
Andrea, who was holding each other's backs with Xiang En, was also in a state of random thoughts.
Introverted and autistic people tend to think more than optimistic and cheerful people. After becoming a semi-autistic person, Andrea found that she liked to be in a daze more and more, and she was also obsessed with the feeling of alcohol numbing the brain, and the pleasant feeling of OOXX, which could make her forget everything in an instant .
However, since she left the village, she has never been free from tension, except for the time in the small town.
It was always either fight or flight.
As she approached Uncle Wright's ranch, Andrea was still somewhat hopeful, hoping that she could see someone familiar still alive.
But all she saw were monsters, terrifying and twisted monsters, monsters that could scare a child to the point of losing all ability to speak at a glance.
Maybe Xiang Enhui couldn't see clearly, but she saw it clearly, that was... breathing!
Trembling, constant trembling.
The two of them were back to back, and Xiang En was the quickest to notice Andrea's strangeness. The continuous trembling was transmitted to him through the backs of each other.
The temperature was not too cold now. They had just run for so long and their bodies were steaming, so the shivering was not due to cold, but could only be due to fear.
To be honest, it's rare for Andrea to still have such a mentality after switching from the comfortable environment of the academy to the terrifying world full of dangers.
Xiang En wanted to comfort her, so he turned around and hugged Andrea, pressed her forehead lightly with his cheek, and said softly: "Do you like the feeling of a hug?"
Falling into her reassuring arms, Andrea relaxed and let her weight rest on Xiang En.
Don't think about those things to reduce stress. Even if you think about it, it will be difficult to achieve it in the current environment.
Knowing that she couldn't reduce the pressure, Andrea couldn't help but think about the monster she just saw and the Uncle Wright she was once familiar with. She only responded softly to Xiang En's question, seeming a little absent-minded.
"Um."
It's good if you can answer the call, it means you are not holding your emotions in your heart, and you are not overly sad.
Xiang En rubbed Andrea's forehead and continued: "Where I used to live, hugs were not commonly used to express feelings, but I really like the feeling of hugs, which are warm, reassuring, and relaxing."
Andrea didn't reply to this statement, but just rubbed his head and continued to lie half-ly in a daze.
A tense environment, always a tense environment.
For a long time, the two of them did not trigger a new conversation. Firstly, they didn't know what to say, and secondly, they thought they would be able to recover by staying like this.
"When I was a kid, my dad often took me to Uncle Wright's ranch. I loved lying on the backs of those sheep, just like lying on the clouds and floating, carefree. I didn't have to think about etiquette lessons, remember the insignia of the nobility, let alone Learn how to be a lady..."
After a while, Andrea still couldn't suppress her emotions. She used memories to ease the lost feelings.
In her eloquent dictation, Xiang En learned some things about Andrea's childhood, which she rarely mentioned.
Maybe it was the last time Andrea asked about her family affairs and was told that she was an orphan that made her worry
Being willing to vent your emotions in front of him is a sign of advanced trust and heartfelt communication. Xiang En is very happy that Andrea can say this and not feel bored.
According to Andrea's description, Uncle Wright was a very cheerful and easy-going man who loved children, but he was not married.
She runs a ranch and often fishes in the small lake behind her. The fish she catches will be made into fish soup for them to taste in the evening.
Andrea experienced many fun things in the pasture, riding various animals, trying to steal eggs from the chicken coop, and amusing the sheep with harvested grass.
Just listening to her description made Xiang En envious.
But she may not be able to experience this now. All the workers in the pasture have turned into monsters, the bleating sheep are missing, and all familiar things are dilapidated. She can't even spend the night there.
"I miss home..."
Finally, Andrea's memory ends with these words.
Xiang En stretched out a hand and handed the water bag around his waist to her, whose voice was a little hoarse.
Taking the water bag, Andrea took a mouthful of sweet dew into her mouth, then twisted around and handed the water bag to Xiang En's mouth.
Xiang En also took a sip, but did not swallow it immediately. He also held it in his mouth and swallowed it little by little to relieve the dry heat in his throat.
I also want to drink water...
Ma Ji, who had been "forgotten", pressed the stopper of the water bag into his mouth again, glanced at the boss Xiang En who was not far away, and could only pull up a few grasses from the ground and stuff them into his mouth to chew, chewing them with the same bitter taste as his mood. Grass juice to quench your thirst.
Marki's younger brother was not a hypocritical person. He also pulled grass from the ground and put it in his mouth to chew.
They don't know the concept of viruses, so they naturally don't care whether the grass is contaminated by the black rainwater.
Besides, they had come here this way before, and they didn't think anything was wrong if they continued to do so.
The blood moon retreats and the sun rises in the east.
The four of them sat there all night and then started on the road again.
People died over and over again. Even though they had delicious bread as their running food, Ma Ji and Ma Ji couldn't hold back and asked Xiang En the question they wanted to ask the most.
"Boss Xiang En... Um, we, hehe. Where are we going?" Duncan, who was dark-skinned and slightly short, was pushed out.
Xiang En stared at that extremely flattering face for a moment, and then glanced at Ma Ji.
The original five people encountered accidents one after another, and now only two are left.
Pulling a cart and carrying goods all the way, they didn't even know their destination, so they could walk for so long without complaining just because of the bread. In the end, it was a tragedy.
"It's a lord's territory on the border of Fiore Province. At the current speed, if nothing happens, we won't have to leave in twelve days."
Xiang En looked at Andrea and obtained the latter's authorization before he explained where they were going to Marky and the two.
