Perhaps because of the singing, the roars of alien beasts never appeared in this jungle, as if the source of the singing was the master of this restricted area.
After it appears, everything will be silent.
Lei Dui sat there silently, still looking into the distance, where it was pitch black and there was nothing.
Xu Qing looked a little complicated. After a while, his eyes swept across the four directions, and finally landed on the barbarian mace and the broken shield fragments.
The corpse of the barbarian, like all the corpses here, became dust when the fog of the song left, as if it had never existed in the world.
And scavengers often don't have any relatives, so maybe not many people care about their disappearance.
Even if there is, it will eventually be forgotten in the passage of time, until a few years later, no one knows, no one remembers.
Xu Qing suddenly thought of what the teacher in the slum, who was a good teacher to him, said something to their group of children before Feng Zhu died of illness.
"It's a pain to have someone you can't forget in your heart, and it's a kind of happiness to be remembered in your heart."
At that time, Xu Qing didn't understand this sentence very well, but now he looked at Lei Dui and somewhat understood the meaning of this sentence, so he didn't bother, but silently walked to the place where the corpse of the barbarian used to be, took out the Dagger, dug up in the ground.
Although he didn't communicate deeply with the savage ghost, it was a few days to be precise, and he didn't say a few words, but the other party taught him his jungle experience, and they walked out of the life and death wolf tribulation together. , blocking the black blood.
So Xu Qing felt that he should do something.
Just like when he left the city and cremated the corpses in the city, he dug the soil hard on the ground and gradually dug a hole.
Bury the barbarian mace and shield fragments.
During this process, Xu Qing was very serious and didn't notice the Thunder Team behind him. I don't know when he had withdrawn his gaze towards the jungle and was looking at him.
In his expression, there was a strangeness that he once looked at Xu Qing for the first time in the ruins of the city. After seeing Xu Qing buried the savage weapon, he seemed to want to make a tombstone, and the Thunder team spoke softly.
"Scavengers, don't need tombstones."
"Dust returns to dust, dirt returns to dirt. This is the life of a scavenger. During his lifetime, he struggled in the world.
Having said that, Thunder Team's breath became weaker and weaker. The serious injuries, the accumulation of heterogeneity, and the overdraft of his mind made him unable to support him. The world slowly became a lake, and he closed his eyes and passed out.
Xu Qing approached, took out some conkers from his pocket, and stuffed them into Lei Dui's mouth.
He didn't know if it was useful, but he thought that since this thing is necessary for making Baidan, it still has the effect of alleviating heterogeneity.
After doing this, he carried Thunder Team on his back and tied it tightly with his clothes. Then he took a deep breath and galloped through the jungle in the dark night.
When passing by the place where Captain Blood Shadow turned into dust, Xu Qing saw a leather bag, picked it up and opened it, there was no medicine pill in it, only some sundries.
So put it away and walk away.
When Lei Dui's consciousness recovered weakly, it was already half an hour later.
He imitated the lake and felt that he was being carried by a thin body, undulating with its beating, slowly opened his eyes, and saw the profile of the young man in front of him.
He was silent.
Xu Qing also noticed Lei Dui's awakening and spoke in a low voice.
"Is it better? You can continue to sleep. In a few more hours, we should be able to get out of the restricted area before dawn."
Lei Dui didn't speak, and his weak body couldn't hide his old age. He tried to look up at the dark sky, and the lake was slowly blurred in front of him. When his consciousness was about to fall into a coma again, he murmured.
"Child, do you know why I asked to take you away twice in the ruined city?"
Xu Qing's figure didn't stop and shook his head.
"Then do you remember the scene when we met?" Lei Dui's voice was weak.
"Remember." Xu Qing's body moved, jumped up a big tree, raised his right hand to the side and grabbed it, grabbed the alienized lizard that was hiding there, and hurriedly rushed, and threw it to the ground ahead.
With a bang, as the lizard fell, a large number of vines on the ground twisted and hurried to wrap it around. In the struggle of the lizard, it was pierced by the leather armor and devoured the flesh.
Xu Qing took this opportunity to jump up, avoiding the danger and continuing to go away.
At this moment, Lei Dui's weak muttering came from behind, his voice was weak, and if it wasn't very close, it would be extremely hard to hear.
"I saw your figure cremating the corpse. You, who was beside the flame at that time, were illuminated by the firelight and seemed to be fused with the fire, which made me seem to see... a ray of warmth in this cruel world."
Xu Qing paused and fell silent, and Lei team behind him fell into a coma again.
After a few breaths, Xu Qing silently raised his feet and continued to gallop in the jungle, shuttling through the trees and leaving quickly.
Time passed, and soon an hour passed.
Xu Qing avoided danger, and the figure was getting closer and closer to the edge of the jungle.
At this moment, the sky was at its darkest, and the gloomy cold from the restricted area at night invaded the surroundings. Fortunately, Xu Qing had been moving rapidly, and the heat generated by his body's instinct slightly resisted the cold.
It's just... As he moved forward, the gloom became more and more intense. After a stick of incense, Xu Qing stopped and looked at the front with a gloomy expression.
In front of him, a thick fog appeared in the jungle.
This fog was extremely thick and spread out in the distance, but unlike the blood fog Xu Qing had seen before, it didn't seem to have a strong sense of oppression.
As far as the eyes can see, the place shrouded in fog is like a lake, and it is impossible to see everything around.
Especially at the moment, the dark night made the fog cover more intense. Xu Qing wanted to avoid it, but he ran for a long time, but the fog was still coming.
He knew what it was.
Cross and Luan Ya said when they just walked into the restricted area, there is a kind of danger in the restricted area called mist.
If enveloped by this fog, people will lose their way inside and eventually get lost.
And once the fog is formed, it often takes a long time to disperse naturally.
Xu Qing felt that although he could endure until the fog dissipated, the heterogeneity in his body would not skyrocket, but the weak Thunder Team could not.
This forced Xu Qing to step back, trying to avoid the fog with a wider range.
But... the fog is too big, no matter how fast he is, he still falls into a situation where the front, back, left and right are foggy, there is nowhere to hide, and he is submerged in the fog.
But soon, the fog that submerged Xu Qing's place gradually became thinner, and finally revealed Xu Qing's surprised figure again.
He lowered his head and looked at his feet.
There is no shadow in the dark night, but Xu Qing can feel the mist around him, which is rapidly pouring into the soles of his feet.
It was as if the invisible shadow formed a vortex that devoured the surroundings.
The speed of this swallowing was not fast, and it didn't take long for it to seem full and no longer absorbed, causing the mist to drown Xu Qing's figure again.
But... As the swallowing of the shadow ended, a force of feedback poured into Xu Qing's body, gathering his eyes, and as far as he could see, the dense fog turned transparent.
Or can not be described by looking, but perception!
The fog is still there, and it is obviously extremely dense, but in his perception it is only a little bit like the lake, far from the point where it stops the eyes and makes people lose.
This made Xu Qing breathe a little faster, and looked down at the invisible shadow under his feet.
"You, what the hell..." Xu Qing whispered.
After a long while, he raised his head and sensed the surroundings, and Silent Shao leaned his body to move immediately, his speed unabated, like a ghost in the thick fog, galloping past.
Not long after, Xu Qing, who was speeding in the dense fog, saw a living person.
That's two scavengers.
Xu Qing vaguely remembered that they had seen them in the camp. The two of them were holding hands with each other at the moment, and they were slowly exploring and moving forward like blind men in the thick fog.
But in Xu Qing's perception, they were actually walking in circles. Obviously, they had already noticed this. The sweat on their foreheads and heavy breathing showed their tension and despair for the future.
Glancing at the two of them, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, and was about to leave in a flash.
He does not have overflowing sympathy, lives in this cruel world, saves people without purpose, and in exchange for his own backlash, he has seen too many examples in the slums.
But for those whose vision is covered, their hearing will be extremely sharp at this time, so the footsteps of Xu Qing when they leave are still detected by them.
The expressions of the two immediately showed nervousness. They couldn't tell whether the sound was a human or a beast, so one of them roared and showed ferocity, as if to deter them.
The other shouted for help, and even in order to show his sincerity, he took out the white pill and spirit coins from the leather bag, and promised to send them out in his words, just for a chance of survival.
Xu Qing stopped for a while, looked back at the Bai Dan in the man's hand, and felt the weakness of the Lei team behind him.
So after thinking about it, he rummaged through the leather bag and found a candle that was lit, so that there was a fire in the place, but the fire was weak, and the fog suppressed it, and it was slowly darkening.
Taking advantage of the firelight, Xu Qing stepped back some distance, looked at the two not far away, and spoke slowly.
"Go straight for seven steps on the right, then ten steps on the left..."
As Xu Qing's voice came in, the two scavengers trembled, with ecstasy on their faces, and immediately followed Xu Qing's instructions while breathing quickly.
Soon, in Xu Qing's successive orders, they circled left and right, avoiding the danger, and the fog in front of them gradually thinned as they approached the place where the candle was located.
When they walked into the range of the candle that was about to be extinguished, they were illuminated by the fire, like a blind man regaining the light, and instantly fell beside the candle, feeling excited and boiling intensely.
As for Xu Qing, he was hiding in the dark on the edge at the moment. Even if the firelight shone slightly, his figure was still Mohu. He looked at the excited appearance of the two in front of him with a blank expression, and opened his mouth.
"Give me Bai Dan."
One of them trembled, and without any hesitation after the disaster, he immediately threw the leather bag containing the spirit coins and Bai Dan to Xu Qing, and thanked him repeatedly.
The other was just about to take the medicine pill from his body, but his excitement subsided after his eyes swept over Xu Qing's figure.
Because Xu Qing was in the dark place, the mist was thin and thin, so in the eyes of this person, Xu Qing's face could not be seen clearly, only the thin body and a comatose person behind him.
So there was a gleam in his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth with a sincere look.
"Little brother, I have eaten all the white pills on me, but don't worry, when the fog clears, or if you have a way to take me out, I will definitely repay you."
After speaking, his eyes flashed slightly, looking at where Xu Qing was, a little eager to try.
The companion next to him was also annoyed at the moment, feeling that he seemed to have given too fast before.
Xu Qing took a deep look at the scavenger who didn't show Bai Dan, and said nothing.
With just a wave of the right hand, the wind blew, and the candle flame went out in an instant, and the surroundings fell into darkness and fog again.
When the exclamation came from the mouth just now, Xu Qing approached and tore off the leather bag from his body, and then the calm voice echoed around.
"Fairy Wood"
"No, just stay inside."
"Wait, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I'll give you Bai Dan, I..."
The man was in a hurry and wanted to grab something, but his body was stopped by the trees under his feet and fell directly.
When he got up, his call became more anxious, and a strong sense of regret permeated his body and mind.
"Little brother, listen to my explanation, I..."
Xu Qing ignored the call of the other party and walked towards the other person who gave him Bai Dan.
The man's expression was horrified now, and he fell back into the fog full of panic. Without him noticing it, Xu Qing passed by him and opened his mouth.
"Follow my footsteps."
After speaking, Xu Qing did not look back and continued to move forward. After hearing Xu Qing's words, the man was short of breath and immediately followed. He was grateful for the speed at which he was paid just now.
Especially when he heard the anxious wailing behind him quickly transformed into a frantic swearing that failed to call for help, the despair in his tone made his heart tremble, and he had a stronger sense of awe for the owner of the footsteps in front of him.

I woke up late... It's too hot today, I want to go to the jungle in the restricted area for a while...
