Chapter 120, House Arrest
Today’s night didn’t seem to be that difficult, as thousands of people gathered around in front of their respective campfires to keep warm while countless sweet potatoes were thrown in the campfires.
Gradually, the entire campsite wafted up a mesmerizingly sweet scent.
In the night, it was as if countless lights were suddenly lit on this dark wilderness wasteland, the yellow firelight wavered, and many people looked expectantly at the sweet potatoes that were not yet baked in the bonfire.
That sweet potato looked like it had to be as big as a wine bottle, as a result, Chen Wuhui ate three sweet potatoes in one sitting this time, Ren Xiaosu was shocked at the sight, he suddenly felt that Chen Wuhui had come to find him as a master, most likely because he wanted to eat him poor!
Chen Wuxi wiped his mouth and looked at the circle of people around him: Ren Xiaosu, Wang Fugui, Yan Liuyuan, Sister Xiaoyu, and Wang Dalong.
“What are you looking at,” Ren Xiaosu glanced at him.
“Master, don’t you think our team is still lacking something,” said Chen Wuxi.
Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, “Short of what?”
Chen Wuxi’s gaze hovered back and forth between Yan Liuyuan and Sister Xiaoyu, “There’s still a White Dragon Horse missing.”
Yan Liuyuan and Sister Xiaoyu’s entire body was bad at that moment, except that Chen Wuxi also had his own principles, he said, “You don’t need to look at me like that, neither of you are a White Dragon Horse, I won’t recognize them indiscriminately.”
At this moment Wang Fugui and Wang Dalong had a hard time again, could it be that the two of them were really the Eight Preceptors and the Sand Monk?
“…… “Ren Xiaosu was a little despondent in his heart, his team was originally still quite normal, how come Chen Wuxi suddenly changed the picture after he came in.
But let Ren Xiaosu is more surprised, this Chen Wou Enemy crazy to crazy, actually have their own internal logic, but why the other party to recognize themselves as a master ah ……
He did not pay attention to Chen Woubi, but silently calculated the amount of food for everyone, right now the sweet potatoes should still be enough to eat for about two days, and sweet potatoes this thing is to put on a winter may not be bad.
It’s just that carrying it on their backs will be a bit tiring, after all, sweet potatoes are still quite heavy.
Now they are only about 100 kilometers away from the 109 barriers, normal people can walk 40 kilometers a day if calculated according to 8 hours, if the intensity is a little higher can walk 50 kilometers, but it is estimated that Wang Fugui and Wang Dalong, Xiaoyu’s body will be a little bit unable to eat.
Sister Xiaoyu even took a needle and thread to help Yan Liuyuan pick off the newly worn out blisters on the soles of his feet in the afternoon, Yan Liuyuan looked at the side of Sister Xiaoyu’s face very quietly at that time, and suddenly felt that it was really good to have such a sister.
By this time, the blisters on the soles of the refugees’ feet had already rotted away and scabbed over again, and after scabbing over, they rotted again, so escaping was far more than “how many kilometers they could walk in a day”.
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu estimated that they might need at least 3 to 4 days to walk to the 109th barrier, save the sweet potatoes, they don’t even need to go out to look for food again.
Suddenly Ren Xiaosu heard the voice of Jiang Wu speaking not far behind him, “Everyone hold on a little longer, we will soon be able to walk to the 109th ledge, the sweet potatoes we dug in the afternoon everyone must bring them with them, they may be tired from walking, but it’s better than being hungry.”
The students had already passed the stage of homesickness and vulnerability, these hothouse flowers were learning to be strong, someone suddenly asked, “Teacher, can we really walk safely to ledge 109?”
“It will definitely be possible,” said Jiang Wu, “We just need to follow that teenager, and we will definitely be able to.”
At this moment, a student scowled and reminded Jiang Wu to look behind her, and Jiang Wu turned her head just in time to see Ren Xiaosu’s gaze.
With a yelp, she hurriedly turned her face back, and it seemed that the campfire was burning too brightly, so much so that it made her cheeks extraordinarily red.
Jiang Wu lowered her voice and said to the students, “Why didn’t you guys warn me!”
“Haha,” the students laughed, “Teacher is blushing.”
Ren Xiaosu looked at this scene and suddenly felt that humans should be the most bitter-sweet animals, as long as they were shown a little hope, they would be willing to live.
Not long after, the students on Jiang Wu’s side sang in a low voice, like a schoolyard song.
Ren Xiaosu was a bit mesmerized listening to those songs, he too had wanted to be born in a carefree ledge, enjoying all that comfort.
Of course, I’m afraid that life in the barriers isn’t that comfortable now.
In the distant Qing Clan Consortium’s compound, Luo Lan smelled the sweet potato odor that drifted from afar, and while he ate the combat brigade’s single soldier rations stored in the car, he sighed, “It’s still this group of poor people who know how to live their lives ah ……”
Next to him, Luo Lan’s beloved servant asked, “Boss, do you think your brother will send someone to rescue you?”
“It’s hard to say,” Luo Lan was a bit despondent, “I’m a bit worried about him instead, he was still inside when the realm mountain went wrong, and now Qing Zhen is also uncertain of his life and death.”
Luo Lan’s inner circle muttered in a low voice, “I think Boss Qing will be fine, he’s a person who has always done things with a lot of stability.”
“Steady for what,” Luo Lan sighed, “This time it’s still the same accident, of course, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions belong to natural disasters, force majeure.”
“You say, will Barrier 112 have the same problem as our barrier?” The beloved asked, “After all, the distance between the two sides is about the same, if we can’t carry an earthquake on our side, it’s the same on that side.”
“That’s right,” Luo Lan thought for a moment and said, “I’m afraid that Barrier 112 has collapsed as well, and with the Qing Clan Consortium losing two barriers all of a sudden, I’m afraid that Qing Zhen will have to receive a very harsh punishment within the Consortium.”
“But it’s not our fault,” the heartthrob whispered, “Who else would it have been, and it wouldn’t have collapsed just the same?”
“Qing Zhen has made too many enemies within the consortium,” Luo Lan said, “And he killed so many people from other consortiums a while ago, the consortium is afraid that they will be worried that he will be difficult to control, so they will hang him out to dry for a while. But this is all temporary, because the Qing Clan Consortium still needs Qing Zhen to do things, and other people really don’t do things as well as Qing Zhen does …… or as ruthlessly as he does.”
At this moment Qing Zhen was walking between the mountain roads, his face had been blackened by the black smoke that came out from the impact of the eruption of the volcano, and his persona had long since collapsed beyond repair.
Xu Concealer was on the side with a satellite phone and said, “Boss, the consortium’s bureau wants you to pick up the phone.”
By this time, they had already stepped out of the coverage of the volcanic cloud, and the satellite phone had already regained its use.
“Tell them there’s no time,” Qing Zhen said without a trace of humor.
Xu Concealer was embarrassed for a moment, but relayed the message as it was, and after a few seconds, he looked over at Qing Zhen, “They request that you head to Barrier 111 immediately after you walk out of the Exit Mountain to be investigated, and that you may not give permission to go outside of Barrier 111.Barriers 112 and 113 …… are no longer available ……”
“Tell them I’m aware of that,” Qing Zhen said, full of concern.
Xu Concealment hung up the phone after replying over there, and he said to Qing Zhen, “This is to put you under house arrest, huh?”
“It just so happens that I haven’t been back to 111 Barrier for a long time,” Qing Zhen said, “Call Lu Yuan at 109 Barrier and ask him to send someone to search for Luo Lan.”
Xu Concealer hesitated for a moment and said, “That’s a ledge controlled by the Li Clan, Lu Yuan may not have much say as a ledge manager.”
“The power to send some private troops is always there, 109 Barrier is the closest to 113 Barrier, so if Luo Lan is fine she will definitely run towards Lu Yuan,” Qing Zhen said as he looked back at the gray sky behind him, “You tell him that if he can’t find Luo Lan, he will have to die. ”
Xu Zou suddenly felt that Qing Zhen did not look at all like someone who was about to be placed under house arrest by the consortium for investigation, and that the two brothers, Qing Zhen and Luo Lan, were a little more affectionate than rumored.
