When the sun has not yet appeared from behind the distant mountains, the entire camp has slowly become active. They must take advantage of this time to prepare for departure.
Because the time that allows humans to move forward safely is only half a day, all time must be captured to avoid wasting it.
The apocalypse has been going on for a long time, so now the survivors are beginning to become familiar with their current living conditions, and they clean up very quickly after waking up.
When the weak sun appeared in the sky again, the entire camp was ready to set off, but they did not set off immediately.
Instead, under the leadership of Locas/Ge Zhao, they knelt down in the direction of the sun and thanked the sun god for still spreading his light and shining on this suffering world.
Although Suo Jian was dissatisfied with this ritual, and even vaguely disliked the so-called Sun God, after all, it was that being who had caused all this suffering.
But he knew that this ritual was necessary. Although it would waste precious daytime, it could soothe the frightened hearts of the refugees.
After the brief ceremony, the team of refugees set off, just like they had done for the past dozen days, along the river to find a suitable place to build a city.
The team of refugees could only travel for half a day, so although twenty-four disappeared in a day, the distance they could move forward was limited.
This is because when noon passes, the refugee team has to stop and use the remaining half of the day to build a camp with certain defense capabilities.
This will of course greatly reduce one's efficiency, but it is a very necessary behavior in the apocalypse. Only in this way can one survive the terrifying night.
Sometimes the walking time is less than half a day, because according to the inspection of the sentinels, there is no suitable rest area ahead, so they can only rest in advance.
Of course, there are also situations where walking can take longer, that is, there is a village ahead that is not shrouded in weirdness, which can be used as a residential area for the team.
If you stay in a village or town, although you need to build fortifications, using the original facilities in the village and town can greatly improve the efficiency of construction and spend more time on the road.
The reason why Ge Zhaodu suffered a tragic failure that time was because he had to rush to the towns ahead for repairs in order to save time for the journey.
As a result, when they arrived, they discovered that the village and town had been shrouded in strangeness. At that time, it was too late, and the refugee team had to rely on crude fortifications to sleep in the wilderness.
Today's luck is relatively good, because there is a deserted village ahead, which allows the team to travel a little longer, and nothing changed after arriving at the deserted village.
Of course, the absence of mutations does not mean that there are no monsters. The area of the deserted village is actually not small. If you search carefully, you will still find a few, but this number is nothing to the team of refugees.
Deserted villages are basically caused after major disasters. The original residents either died in the disaster or became refugees from other places.
In addition to the facilities, the advantage of the deserted village is that the catastrophe happened too suddenly, and some resources may not be taken away in time, but now they can be provided to Suo Jian and the others as supplies.
Resources not only refer to food, clothing and weapons, fuel is also a very important resource, even more important than weapons.
Using fuel to make a fire for cooking is second to none. After all, many things in the apocalyptic era can be improvised, and the refugee team often eats cold food to save fuel.
Because in this era, the most important use of fuel is not for cooking, but to light up the dark and terrifying night.
Only the light ignited by the faint fire can, to a certain extent, dispel the terrible impact of the darkness of the cataclysm on the living.
"But everyone, please be careful. Don't be like a miser who is reluctant to use fuel to make cooked food. Sometimes you have to use it."
"Everyone looks at this column. It represents the current overall hope value of the team. Once this hope value is too low, self-destructive behavior will occur."
"Now, overall, the team's expectations are a bit low, so we have to mention him. So how do we mention it?"
"Do you still remember the sun prayer just now? Although walking time is wasted and you have to get up earlier, it can increase the team's hope value. This is a way to improve."
"The second step is to use fuel to make a fire to cook, so that our poor refugees can have a bowl of hot meals, which can also increase their hope."
These words left many viewers speechless. Only then did many people experience what the end of the world is. The end of the world is an era when eating a bowl of hot rice becomes a luxury.
The game can fast forward time, but Ge Zhaodu does not do so now. Instead, he watches the team of refugees at a normal game speed.
They had just used fuel to eat cooked food, and no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone was smiling happily, at least on the surface.
Then everyone sat down around the fire and started talking about something. This was something the audience was accustomed to and didn't even bother to do, but it was the only entertainment the residents of this world had.
There are several bonfires in the camp, and the bonfires are also formed into a circle, and the children representing the future are in the safest center of the circle.
The group of children played a blindfolded game of catch in this small space, letting out carefree laughter from time to time.
The laughter seemed to have infected the adults around him, and a sincere smile appeared on his tired and numb face due to the shadow of the doomsday for many days.
Ge Zhaodu didn't say anything, nor did he disturb this peaceful scene. He just quietly adjusted his position and photographed this peaceful and beautiful image.
However, the happy time is always short-lived, and they need to go to sleep immediately, because there is still a long walk waiting for them tomorrow.
In the post-apocalyptic era of cataclysm, it is obviously impossible to rest like in the past, otherwise you would probably not know when you would be killed.
Nowadays, they are centered around a bonfire, just like this, people are crowded and lying on the weeds, covered with some simple and shabby clothes.
Not everyone is asleep, there are still people patrolling around with torches to prevent any danger from appearing in the dark, and the probability of this is not small.
As for what those who fall asleep have to do, unless the whistle of Luokas/Ge Zhao blows, don't care about what happens.
Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep at all, and various sounds will come from within a few minutes, so this group of refugees needs to be as still as a mountain.
Of course, you have to get up immediately when the whistle blows, because it means that a terrible monster has broken through the outer defenses and broke in, and now you have to get up immediately and prepare to fight.
