Back to the Wilderness

"How could it rise so much? It's unbelievably fast!!" It was hard for everyone to accept, it was too contrary to the laws of nature.

Xie Cheng was also surprised and said, "This may be the reason why Luo Zongqiang and the others left."

Everyone couldn't help being silent, and they were helpless. There are too many unscientific things in this world, and they are refreshing their worldview time and time again.

"Let's get started." Xie Cheng said, no matter what, he had to find a way to survive.

Next, they did not go fishing immediately, but opened up salt fields according to Xie Cheng's instructions.In the past, they used fire to extract salt. Although the salt extracted was very small, it was enough for a period of time.Now they have to think about going to the next safe zone, and stockpiling sea salt needs to be put on the agenda.

It is not difficult to open up salt fields, the beach is very soft, and a few people just use bone spears to shovel it. The difficulty is to divert water.Sea people either divert water when the tide is high, or pump water directly, but they don't have this condition. They have a very poor concept of the world's time now. They can't tell the lunar month, and it is difficult to grasp the high tide time. Seawater is moved manually.

Xie Cheng and Zhou Qiming went back to the forest behind while others were digging the salt fields, cut down a few trees, hollowed out the trunks, made crude handleless buckets, and transported seawater into the salt fields entirely by manpower.In order to extract sea salt as quickly as possible, the salt pans are made larger and covered with a thin layer of seawater, the faster the evaporation.But fortunately, the task is not heavy. They have successfully transported more than one ton of seawater. One ton of seawater can extract about 35 kilograms of sea salt, which is enough for them to use for a long time.

Let the sea water evaporate here, Xie Cheng and others found a reef out of the sea to fish again. This time they did not stop until the sunset, and the harvest was very rich, ranging from fish to crabs and shrimps. Eat and drink, and stock up on food for the coming winter.

"It's a sad day!" Lao Wang couldn't help sighing as he cleaned up the corpse of the strange fish.

Gao Yiyang grinned, "Master, you look like a street scavenger!"

"Whoever picks up trash by the side of the road won't be bitten off by a strange fish!" Old Wang gave him a white look.

Gao Yiyang curled his lips. After finishing his own fish, he strode over to Lao Wang to help him clean up a wide-band fish with a row of sharp black thorns on its back, "It is everyone's responsibility to care for the lonely and widowed elderly."

Ji Fuyun seemed a little tired after skewering the whole bone spear fish, he straightened up and stood on the beach, the waves hit his ankles, the sea breeze blew his hair into a mess, he looked into the distance, His eyes were a little blurred, "What will be on the other side of the sea?"

"There is a group of Smurfs." Old Wang replied without raising his head.

"Can the Smurfs bring us back to the original world?" Ji Fuyun's voice reached everyone's ears along with the sea breeze, making them stiffen their backs.

"Want to go back?" Xie Cheng glanced at him sideways.

"Think." Ji Fuyun nodded, can you not think about it, there is still a lot of mess waiting for him to clean up, he wants to rectify the teacher's name, find out the whereabouts of "Fenghe" No. [-]...too many things need him to solve .

After a while, Ji Fuyun said hesitantly, "Chen Jia told me about the way to leave this world."

When Xie Cheng heard this, his expression moved slightly.

Ji Fuyun turned his head, while Chen Jia and Lingbi tried their best to pass the tree vines through the fish's gills and tie up the prawn's feet. They knew their awkward position in this team, and they were desperately trying to prove their usefulness.

Chen Jia felt the eyes of Ji Fuyun and Xie Cheng, paused, and then walked over unnaturally, "What's the matter?"

"Yeah." Ji Fuyun said, "Did Hellfire tell you the way you said to leave this world that night?"

Chen Jia nodded. He only told Ji Fuyun to one person before, because he was afraid that Luo Zongqiang would blame him. Now that he has followed Xie Cheng, he can say it openly, "As soon as we met him, he said he could take us away. , Later, Boss Luo gave him a lot of benefits, so he revealed a little clue."

Chen Jia's expression became serious. In his opinion, Hellfire's method is no different from ascending to the sky.

Ji Fuyun pointed to the sea with no border in front of him: "Cross this sea and leave this continent."

Xie Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "And then? What's on the other side of the sea, another continental plate? Is it possible that a group of elves can really send us back?"

"Even if there are elves, we won't be able to see them." Old Wang was dejected, and when he talked about going back, he lost energy and continued to smile, "This is the sea. You can't swim, and there are no boats. There are still many people in the sea." Weird monster..."

"Hellfire said before jumping off the cliff that there is no way to leave." Xie Cheng said, his tone seemed a little mocking, "As for that Qin Hao in the team, he doesn't know how to leave here, but he knows how to clear the game. The world becomes the hegemon."

Everyone is silent. No matter what Hellfire said is true, no matter whether Qin Hao's customs clearance method is related to the exit method or not, it is an existence that is out of reach for them. Even survival is a problem, let alone becoming the overlord?You know, they have never encountered truly terrifying things, such as carnivorous dinosaurs, carnivorous plants, and the most difficult to guard against poisonous insects, frog snakes... It is also lucky to be alive until now.

Even the bitter sea breeze could not move the frozen and stiff atmosphere at this moment.

"Be prepared that you won't be able to go back." Xie Cheng's words were almost indifferent, and the corners of his open clothes fluttered, making a crisp sound.

On the way back, the atmosphere was not very upbeat.However, when they returned to the safe zone, another unexpected incident forced them to advance their migration plan.

The water in the lake in the safe zone has also risen!

The most intuitive manifestation is that the vegetable field cultivated by Ji Fuyun was built by the lake for the convenience of watering. It was originally one meter away from the waterline, but now there is a row of chili rhizomes soaked in the water.

At this speed, it would take less than ten days to flood the cave.

Xie Cheng walked around the lake with an ugly face. After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision: "Leave here in three days."

There was an uproar in the safe zone, and many people began to feel anxious and fearful. Leaving the safe zone meant that there were endless beasts, but staying here was undoubtedly a dead end. People who had been at ease for a few days once again felt the gloomy future, and the atmosphere of despair suddenly Surrounding this group of fragile humans, some even couldn't help crying.

Tired, too tired to live here!

"Then where are we going? Is there a direction?" Gao Yiyang asked.

Xie Cheng looked towards the place where the setting sun was setting, and said, "Volcano."

Volcano is a word that Ding Yun heard with high frequency when Luo Zongqiang was talking with Hellfire. Xie Cheng asked Chen Jia and Lingbi to verify it. They still couldn't hide it completely, and they often heard Liu Jun and the others discuss what to do after arriving at the volcano.

Ding Yun listened to Xie Cheng's arrangement quietly, not in shock like other women, she knew this day would come early in the morning.

"Sister Ding Yun..." Xu Caicai approached her cautiously.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Caicai was embarrassed, she wanted to talk to Ding Yun all the time, but she couldn't find a chance or a topic, "I thought you left with Luo Zongqiang and the others and left me alone, but I was so happy to see you back later... "

"Yes, I don't care about you anymore." Ding Yun interrupted Xu Caicai coldly, ignoring her astonished eyes and continued: "I said a long time ago that I can't control you, I can't even control myself! Xu Caicai, you are mature Come on, no matter how careful you are here, you will die at any time, you have no one to rely on, you have to rely on yourself!"

Ding Yun suddenly stretched out her hand. Xu Caicai looked down and couldn't help but let out a low cry. Those slender and beautiful hands were extremely swollen at the moment, especially the nails. The bloodshot flesh looks terrible.

"In order to meet Xie Cheng's request, I practiced day and night to pinch the branches with my nails at the correct angle. Do you know how much I suffered? Do you know how scared I was when I followed Luo Zongqiang? What will happen to me as a comfort woman!" Ding Yun couldn't help getting emotional, and raised her voice, she was just an ordinary woman, and she would be afraid, "Why do you ask me to endure the pain and take care of you!"

Xu Caicai stared at Ding Yun blankly, speechless.

After a while, the heaving of Ding Yun's chest calmed down. She was agitated just now, and she had endured too much pressure and had nowhere to vent, "Remember the secret code Xie Cheng said, no one wants to believe that a person who always makes mistakes The distress signal left by someone, let alone take the risk to save her."

After speaking, Ding Yun turned and left resolutely, she really didn't have any extra energy to care about others.

Everyone here has their own pain and troubles, and now Ji Fuyun is also facing something that upsets him.

He will leave the safe zone in three days, but his vegetables are at least half a month away from ripening.

Once giving up these dishes, it means that the vegetables may be completely extinct in this world. Not to mention that this is a big loss, Ji Fuyun can't bear to give up the last bit of hard work left by the teacher.

But he has nothing to do with these, let alone three days, maybe tomorrow the lake will submerge several rows of vegetables.

The one who understands him best is He Zhongqing, "Brother Fuyun, what should I do with these dishes?"

Ji Fuyun shook his head, "I'll think of a way."

"Oh." He Zhongqing replied, seeing Ji Fuyun frowning, she frowned immediately.

Xie Cheng passed by the two of them, stopped in his tracks, and said softly, "Make up your mind to choose."

In fact, what they decided to leave the safe zone lost was not only Ji Fuyun's vegetables, but also the flowing rock in the cave. They saw it when the volcano erupted, and they could estimate the distance of the volcano, which is far away from here.When Xie Cheng was about to leave, he had already given up these things.

"I know." Ji Fuyun said, but his expression was still gloomy.
