Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

The resting place is next to a river. I don’t know if it’s because the temperature has been too high recently, but the flow of the river seems to have slowed down.

The woman took her daughter to the shade of a tree near the back to enjoy the cool air. After letting her daughter sit down to relax, she herself stood up with difficulty, enduring the dizziness, took the bamboo tube in her bag and went to the river to fetch a tube of water and came back: "Drink some water."

The little girl was very sensible. Seeing that her mother was not in good condition, she endured her thirst and said, "Mom, you drink first."

The woman smiled lovingly and said, "It's okay. Drink it first and then go fight."

The little girl then took the bamboo tube and started drinking. After finishing the water, the woman went to the river to fetch some water to drink. Then she walked back to the shade of the tree. As soon as she sat down, the dizziness became even worse. She could hardly control her body and slid to the ground and collapsed.

"Mother! Mother!" The little girl burst into tears out of fear. Hearing her cry, the woman forced herself to wake up, reached out to hold the little girl's hand, and gently squeezed her hand.

The little girl felt her mother's response, and then she stopped crying and sobbed softly: "Mom, please don't be in trouble, don't leave me."

The woman felt sad and powerless. She was really tired and wanted to close her eyes and fall asleep, but she couldn't. She was worried about her daughter: "Mom is fine. I'm just tired. Let me sleep for a while."

"Yeah." The little girl pursed her lips and nodded, then stood quietly by the side.

The commotion here also did not attract any extra attention from other people. Everyone was feeling very powerless right now, and they were exhausted from struggling to survive, so how could they have any extra energy to sympathize and care for others?

During the hottest period, they all lay down under the shade of the trees to rest. Although the ground was hot, it was better than traveling under the scorching sun.

"Brother, do you think that if we keep going like this, we can really find the village that is said to be blessed by God?" said one of the leading men, looking at the other man who was resting with his eyes closed under a tree.

"I don't know either, but according to the remaining people in Dahe Village, it should be in this direction." The man called Big Brother was also unsure.

They were all survivors from the vicinity of the town. They were not among the group of people in the town, nor were they among the group of people in Dahe Village. They could not survive hiding in the village and wanted to find a way out in the town. However, they did not expect that the town was not only more severely affected by the disaster, but also deserted.

Yes, it was empty. There were not many survivors left in the town. Almost all the living people had followed Shi Anan to Guangming Village. The remaining few who were determined to die had already died. So when this group of people arrived in the town, all they saw were charred ruins and human corpses.

They had no choice but to search in several large villages near the town as they remembered, to see if there were any other living people. Unfortunately, along the way, they faced the same scenes as An An and his group had faced in the beginning.

Nine out of ten villages are empty; this is the current situation in the town after the skyfire.

The only big village with a little bit of life still there was the people who stayed in Dahe Village.

Before, in addition to the dozen or so elderly people in Dahe Village who voluntarily stayed behind to wait for death, there were also some villagers who did not want to follow Yang Wenchuan and insisted on staying here.

Now, the dozen or so old men including Mr. Yang have long passed away, leaving only seven or eight young men who are still struggling to survive.

They have been relying on the little food they grew before to survive until now, but as Yang Wenchuan said, the fields have been destroyed by the heavenly fire, and the few grains they grow are not enough to eat, let alone save for seeds.

So after eating this batch of food, they would still face the crisis of food shortage. After all, after spring passed, it would be difficult for them to even dig wild vegetables.

Now they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If they had followed Yang Wenchuan and the others, things would not have turned out like this. At least the village chief would have found a way to keep them alive. But now everyone else in the village had left or died, leaving only a few of them in this village that seemed to be full of death. They felt like they couldn't survive any longer.

This group of people came to find these seven or eight people when they were in despair. Both sides were very happy to see living people. They exchanged the information they knew with each other, and then discussed the idea of ​​looking for Guangming Village.

In fact, they didn't know that the village was called Guangming Village, nor did they know the specific route. The only information they had was the guesses made by the seven or eight people in Dahe Village based on Yang Wenchuan's previous words and their conversations with other villagers at the time.

But no matter what, they would die if they stayed here, so they had to try to find it.

In this way, a group of people set out on the road together. While walking on the road, some scattered people saw them. Although they didn't know where they were going, they were all a group of people who were about to die. It is human nature to stick together for warmth. After seeing their companions, they didn't want to be alone anymore, so they followed them and walked together until now.

Every day many people who couldn’t keep up would fall down in the team, and their team has been reduced from more than a hundred people to a few dozen now.

But no one stopped, and with this belief, the god of luck would eventually favor them.

It was another day of living and walking numbly. No one knew whether this road had an end, or if the end was death. Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, which finally made these people look at each other with a hint of curiosity about living people.

"Mom, what happened ahead?" The little daughter pulled the woman's hand and said, touching her forehead which was burned by the scorching sun.

"Mom doesn't know either. Let's wait and see." The woman was also a little confused. She didn't know what had happened ahead that made these people so excited. After all, even the dead could no longer cause any waves in their hearts.

Seeing that the little girl was being badly exposed to the sun, the woman raised her sleeves to try to block the sun for her while keeping an eye on what was happening ahead.

"Found it! Found it!"

"Is it here? It must be here, right?"

"Look at that tall wall. It must be God's masterpiece. This must be the place blessed by God!"

The leading men shouted excitedly, and their voices gradually spread to the people behind them, who could hear them clearly.

Have we arrived yet? Everyone felt confused and unbelievable.

Those who still had some strength quickened their pace and walked to the front to check the situation. Sure enough, they saw the high wall they had talked about. It was so smooth, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

The person on duty in the watchtower at the moment was Yan Fei. He was wearing a woven straw hat, holding a palm-leaf fan in one hand and chewing a piece of chilled, cool, crispy and sweet watermelon in the other. There was also a small basin of ice next to him. Although it melted a little quickly, at least it made it less difficult for him to be on the watchtower.

Although other work can be suspended appropriately or avoid the hottest period, this guard duty requires people to be present all day long, even in the remote Guangming Village.

Although they couldn't go to the summer house, Shi Anan tried her best to take anti-heat measures for the safety of the security team members, such as setting up a sunshade for them, providing them with ice cubes, and of course they would not be without watermelons.

Just as Yan Fei was happily eating the watermelon, he heard loud shouting coming from not far below.
