The golden sun shines down.
Between the emerald green grass, an earth-yellow driveway twists and turns and spreads into the distance.
Three black carriages drove slowly into the distance on the driveway.
Garen sat in the carriage and quietly looked out the window.
On the high mountain in the distance on the left, there stands a continuous gray fortress, which is surrounded by jagged-top walls, and some walls have been knocked out. There was no sound.
Several black giant bats hovered over the fortress, and a black bat just flew up from inside the fortress.
There was a smell of burning fire and something in the air.
Garen took out his pocket watch and checked the time: 3:24.
"Take a break, we've already driven all morning." He said lightly.
The sound was not loud, but just enough to be heard by the other two carriages.
He was sitting in the carriage in the middle, and Roland was sitting opposite him.
In the carriage in front sat Angel and the Wild Hunting Group. Behind is Lala and some food and drink that need to be pulled away.
The three carriages stopped at the same time. The three mutated dark horses stopped naturally without anyone directing them.
Gallon pulled the carriage and got out of the carriage. He raised his eyes and looked around.
Surrounded by emerald green lawns, two rows of welcome flower beds were built on the side of the road, with small red and yellow flowers blooming in them, which were very bright. The little flowers swayed slightly in the breeze.
He looked into the distance along the lawn, and the emerald green grass stretched all the way to the fort on the top of the mountain in the distance, with a few withered yellow weeping willows occasionally interspersed in the large green area in the middle.
Garen looked up at the fortress, frowning slightly.
"This is a private fortress near Titan City. We haven't left the jurisdiction of Titan City yet." Leylan stepped down from the carriage behind Gallon with a low voice. "It will take at least a day to get out of the jurisdiction, at our speed."
"It seems that the fortress has also been captured." Garen guessed.
"Sure, there are scavenging bats hovering in the sky. This kind of bat comes out during the day and rests at night. Unlike ordinary bats, they only eat rotting corpses." Lei Lan replied lightly, "Scavenging bats will only appear when there is no Dangerous places, the character is very timid, whether it is a monster or a human being, it is an object to avoid.”
She took out a small notebook and began to record in detail without knowing what to do, only hearing the rustling sound of the portable pen tip on the paper.
Garen nodded, indicating that he understood.
"How much food and water do we have left?"
"I'll ask Lala to come out. It's best to ask her." Lei Lan frowned and walked directly to the third carriage.
She quickly got into the third carriage, but she didn't hear the voice of reprimanding Lala.
"Brother, come and take a look. Lala seems to be a little sick." Leilan's voice came from the carriage.
Garen glanced at the Wild Hunt group who had just got off the carriage, and waved his hands to signal them to rest. He strode to the third carriage and stepped on it through the open hatch.
The compartment was a bit cold and damp, and there were various sundry barrels piled up in the dark car, and the yellow wooden barrels were wrapped in iron sheets in a cross shape. Lala leaned against the side of a wooden barrel, her face was flushed, and she was out of breath.
"Cough cough cough cough" Lala coughed vigorously, she could faintly hear the sound of phlegm in her throat, she covered her chest with her hands, as if she couldn't breathe. Sitting on the ground weak.
She was wearing only a summer gray and white dress and no stockings.
Garen scanned Lala's whole body, squatted down, and gently grabbed the fabric on the right shoulder of the dress, and gently twirled a little black spot on it.
"I feel out of breath." Lala said with difficulty. Seeing Garen was like seeing a savior, and his eyes shone brightly.
Garen sighed, and gently pressed Lala's chest with his right hand.
"Brother!" Leilan's dissatisfied voice came from the side, and she blocked Gallon's hand. "It's just a servant. If you die, you will die, but be careful to infect you too."
Garen glanced at her, and Leilan's pale yellow eyes flashed with jealousy and dissatisfaction. She slightly avoided her gaze, but stared at Lala viciously.
"She has a sudden asthma attack. I didn't think about it carefully. She has lived in an unventilated environment for a long time, and there are many bacteria and other microorganisms multiplying. She is just an ordinary person, and it is not bad to be able to survive until now. "
"Let her die, we don't have any medicine for asthma." Lei Lan's eyes flickered. "Let me manage these supplies for you."
"You go out now." Garen said flatly. "obedient."
Reluctantly, Lei Lan gave Lala a hard look, and then got up and got out of the carriage.
In a short while, his fingers quickly tapped on Lala's lungs.
"I don't know the specific treatment method, so I can only relieve your condition temporarily. And it doesn't necessarily mean asthma." He looked at Lala, who was getting more and more relaxed with the finger wheel, and said in a low voice.
Garen didn't focus on anything else, and after quickly relieving the problem of poor blood flow in his lungs, he finally slammed the palm slightly to aggravate it.
Wow!
Lala suddenly leaned forward, spit out a mouthful of black phlegm.
The black phlegm was about to fall on Garen, but he flicked it with his fingers, shooting out a gust of wind, ejected from the carriage, and landed on the grass in the distance.
Garen stood up, his heart sank slightly.
"At this time, in this environment, once you are sick, it is difficult to find medicines for treatment. Now you can only take some anti-inflammatory drugs and cough medicines. Everything is up to you."
Lara nodded. "It's okay, I'll get better soon." She smiled at Garen, expressing that there was no need to worry.
Garen frowned. "I found cockroach excrement on your clothes. You'd better not stay here anymore. Get another carriage."
Lala nodded, she also realized the reason.
Garen shook his head and got out of the carriage, just in time to meet Leilan with a gloomy face.
"What's wrong?"
"You shouldn't have promised her to come with you," Leilan said in a low voice. "That guy is a burden, she doesn't care about anything, and now she's sick, and can't even do trivial things! What use do we need her?"
"You're a bit extreme, Leilan." Garen frowned. "Her relatives died in the last war, and now she has no family and can only follow us."
"So what?" Lei Lan looked at the carriage with jealousy. "Brother, don't you want to fuck that bitch? Don't you just want to look better and have better skin!? Do you still want to enjoy it in this environment? If it's a peaceful time, I can give you as much as you want. You catch it! But it's different now!"
Looking at the expression on her face, Garen knew that she was becoming more and more jealous of Lala. She herself was disfigured, but she was extremely jealous of other women with good looks.
"I once promised her to serve me, in exchange for enough security. Now I have not fulfilled the promise." He whispered, "Okay, Leilan, I know you are in a bad mood, but don't blame others! "
Lei Lan didn't say much, but became more and more gloomy, turned and left without saying a word.
Garen rubbed his temples with a headache.
Looking at the sun above his head, the golden sunlight is bright but not very warm.
Compared with Lala, Leilan is indeed much more important, and she is still teaching herself the basics of various research deduction machines. Now I have to rely on her. So it's not good for Garen to annoy her too much.
But this kind of distorted world view and values may indeed cause a lot of trouble to the team.
On the side of the Wild Hunt, Angel came over with a puzzled look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"Lara is ill, most likely acute asthma." Gallon replied helplessly, "She is the only ordinary person among us, her physical fitness is not very good, and she was injured before. It is not bad to be sick now."
"Then what should we do?" Angel also frowned. She also had a pretty good impression of Lala, a dedicated maid. "I still have some Tavier tokens here, you should give her some relief."
"Fine."
Garen brought the medicine to Lala, and after taking it, she did feel relieved in a short while. This drug is mainly antitussive.
Garen didn't think much about it. Busyly let the petrified white dragon in front lead the way, followed by the two-headed lizard dragon carrying two petrified monitor lizards, and the Fukasawa giant crocodile and resonance eagle were guarded far away on both sides. They brought a large number of beetles to drive away the powerful monsters that might appear around them, but only put some low-level guys in to practice for Angel and others.
The potential points are constantly increasing, but the speed is very slow, far less than that of the Titan City period.
I didn't meet any powerful characters in the wild.
Then they marched forward for more than a day, until they reached the edge of the jurisdiction of Iron Tank City. They only encountered Type 1 monsters, and very few Type 2 monsters. There was no need to expel them at all, Garen simply let his subordinates ignore them and let them in directly.
His potential points at this time have also accumulated to an unprecedented 125 points. I have been saving since Titan City.
He was going to save more points at once and focus on the evolution of the black-striped white tiger.
*******************
The faint morning white light came in through the cracks in the curtains.
Garen slowly woke up from his sleep. He rubbed the back of his neck, which was a little sore. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lei Lan, who was lying on the opposite side, sleeping soundly on his side.
It was quiet outside, and occasionally the snorting of mutated horses could be heard.
Sitting upright on the cushion, Garen pulled off the quilt on his body and put on his leather boots. He took off a piece of wood from the wall of the carriage on the right side of the two people, put it down, and put two wooden sticks under it, and it became a simple table.
Picking up the dried vegetables and beef that he didn't finish eating last night, Garen took two large glasses of water from the water bottle on the table, and threw the dried vegetables and meat into it.
Then he held a cup with both hands, his palms were slightly red like ruby.
After more than a minute, the scent of dried meat and vegetables suddenly rose in the spacious compartment.
"Brother?" Lei Lan woke up from his sleep, and looked at Garen in a daze. Across the table, she suddenly saw two large cups on the table.
White water vapor floated from the mouth of the cup, and there was a faint fragrance inside.
