The temperature in autumn is not like that in summer. The scorching high temperature makes me feel like a piece of barbecue. Before I even take a few steps, the sweat on my body is already pouring out uncontrollably.
Tianlei's dark face looked as if it had been polished, making it shine.
While wiping his sweat, he muttered: "Let's take a rest."
Tianlei Niutou looked at the young Taoist priests behind him: "We don't have many manpower. If someone suffers from heatstroke, it will be troublesome."
I looked down and saw that we had been walking for nearly two hours.
Looking around, there was only the sound of the wind blowing the wheat waves, and there was not even a single person, let alone any village.
I turned around and looked at Zhang Lin: "Old man, how far is it?"
He raised his hand and pointed forward: "We'll be there soon."
To be honest, I didn't see anything, but at his age there was no need to lie to me.
When a group of ten of us reached the intersection, Zhang Lin suddenly stopped and said, "This is it."
I looked at the yellow earth under my feet and couldn't help but wonder: "Where is this?"
He pointed to various forks in the road: "Actually, we're not even a village. There are several families in each direction."
I continued tentatively: "You mean, we are going to different places?"
"right!"
"So, how far are these villages from each other?"
Zhang Lin thought for a while: "The closer one is Erli, and the farthest one is Xiawazi, which is probably an hour's journey away."
His affirmation instantly made me feel dizzy.
We don't have many people to begin with. If we are spread out like this, it will be difficult to save anyone who is in danger.
I can risk my life, but I can't ask others to do the same.
Thinking of this, I immediately gave a suggestion: "Which place has the most people?"
"To the east, that place is called Sawstone."
Listening to the name, it does not look like a village.
I held the pergola with one hand and said softly: "Gather everyone on the sawstone, otherwise we will be too scattered and I will not be able to ensure everyone's safety."
"good."
Zhang Lin was very happy and turned around to leave.
I immediately stopped him and said, "Can't you just make a phone call?"
Zhang Lin wiped the oily sweat on his face with his shoulder: "I didn't pull the phone line, the contact was all through the soles of my feet."
To be honest, for such an old man to walk dozens of miles under the scorching sun, even those with a little bit of sympathy would feel unbearable.
"Don't let you struggle alone. Zhang Lin just waved his hands in all directions: "If you don't live here for more than ten years, you won't understand this path. Just wait here for me."
He looked up at the sun and said, "I'll almost be back before three in the afternoon."
He walked hurriedly under the bright sun. Since we can't help him, let's take a good rest and fight the battle that belongs to us.
I found a slightly flat place and took off my backpack.
"Sleep if you want, lie down if you want." I found a thicker tree to lean against, "I guess I won't have time to sleep tonight."
As soon as these words came out, there were complaints all around.
The movement was not loud, but it still reached my ears clearly.
Just as the thunder was about to strike, I immediately held him down: "Except for you and me, of the remaining eight people, only two are from Chen Liugong, right?"
"Yeah." Tianlei looked away and said angrily: "The rest are all just recruited! Damn it! You are a bastard!"
I smiled and patted his arm: "Have you forgotten what we said in the first place?"
When I asked this question, Tianlei was obviously hesitant.
I leaned close to him and whispered: "Survival of the fittest, just leave if you can't stand it."
"This is a Taoist temple, not a garbage dump."
Having said this, it was already clear that Tianlei would not continue to dwell on this matter.
He turned around and looked at the group of little Taoist priests who were musing: "There are just a group of people who can't stand hunger, and you take them out to work? Isn't it a bit ridiculous?"
"Don't worry, today is just physical work."
Tianlei lowered his voice: "Tell me the truth. Do you have any judgment?"
"Most likely, it's a zombie."
"stiff……"
His voice suddenly rose, and I quickly covered his mouth: "***, keep your voice down! What's wrong with the zombies? It's not like the Lord of Hell is here."
"No, you, you lead such a group of people to kill zombies, have you had enough of your own life?"
I waved my hand gently: "I have a plan, so you are right to listen to me."
