The group that was getting closer and closer to Xu Xuening and the others was struggling to advance in the snow. They were not in as good a condition as Xu Xuening at the moment.
The wind was growing stronger and stronger. The thirty-two people were all connected, supporting each other as they moved forward. They walked with difficulty, step by step, in the waist-deep snow, following the person in front of them. They had no extra thoughts to distinguish which direction to go. If the leader fell into the ditch, the others following behind would fall in too.
Because of the decrease in the number of people, the team leader has become increasingly uneasy.
He looked at the thirty people behind him, his anxiety almost making him want to puff out the remaining heat in his lungs. If this continued, would he still be able to get the things from the tree?
When he thought of the dead, he couldn't help cursing.
A bunch of trash!
He thought of those who died in the mountains. Of the 117 people who followed him out, only 32 were left.
"Sure enough, I shouldn't have brought those people here. They are all a bunch of trash." He decided that next time he would look for people who are experienced or have served in the military.
Among those walking in the team, most of those who survived were experienced hunters or veterans. Only a few of them had enough brains and nimble feet. After following them out, they hid quickly when they encountered danger.
"After we go back, anyone who wants to enlist will have to go through this forest."
The captain thought about this feasible plan.
The end of the world is coming quickly. Compared with the changes in the weather, the changes in people's hearts are so fast that people can't even guess it.
Or maybe human hearts have never changed, and they have simply released the beast lurking in the abyss.
The captain spat and looked towards the distance. There, the tall mountain was his target. As long as he got that thing, he would no longer be a small captain after he returned.
He would definitely be promoted to the position of squadron leader or battalion leader. Thinking of this, he finally felt relieved. If he could just endure the wind and snow for a while, he would soon be able to achieve wealth and glory.
Seeing the captain's expression change from dark to bright, a man hiding in the corner couldn't help but shudder. Everyone he'd come out with had died here. His neighbors, his friends, all eaten by the monsters in the forest. He'd always gravitated towards the captain, thinking that was the safest place. But when he saw his friend thrown out by the captain to attract the monsters, he no longer dared to go near him.
He was afraid of death, afraid of dying in this forest.
All the way, he was regretting why he followed here.
He was timid and knew that the money was not easy to earn, but he didn't know that it was money that cost him his life.
The man curled up in the corner was so frightened that he could hardly hold back his fear and burst out. He bit his hand hard, fearing that he would make a sound and attract the monster.
Snow?
Yes, it’s snowing now, and those monsters seem to be hibernating.
They need to hurry up, find that thing, and get out of here.
If the captain hadn't held them at gunpoint, everyone would have turned back. Human life was becoming less and less valuable at this time, and now, they missed their previous lives immensely.
"keep going."
The captain watched the people in the team rest for a while, and without waiting for them to recover, he urged everyone to continue down the mountain.
"We must hurry there while those monsters haven't woken up yet. From there, we can cross the mountain and go directly back to Huacheng." Looking at the pale faces of the people in the team, perhaps their pale faces were caused by the cold, but the captain knew that these people could no longer hold on.
He had to boost their morale. Three-quarters of the people had died before they even picked the fruit, and he still had to rely on these people to get back.
"Do you want to die here? When the snow stops, if those monsters chase us, I will not stop anyone who wants to die." The captain looked at their slow pace and roared.
He quickly suppressed his anger, fearing that the roar might wake up the monster that didn't hibernate, and it would chase them, and they would really die here.
After hearing the captain's words, the thirty-one people also became frightened and took big steps towards the mountains.
They could not die in these mountains, nor could they return empty-handed. Otherwise, if they returned empty-handed, they would either be forced to become the lowest class of people or become slaves.
In that case, it will be even more difficult to turn things around.
Opportunity, this is an opportunity.
What awaited them ahead was wealth and glory, while turning back would lead to death and lowliness. They had no choice but to keep moving forward.
The sound of the wind blew past their ears, and leaves were blown over with it.
It was supposed to be early autumn, a time for sightseeing and enjoying the scenery, with the mountains covered in red and yellow, but we encountered this strange heavy snowfall.
Everything, everything, was frozen. Like an ice age, everything seemed to be frozen in an instant. Looking at the weather, the team leader knew that he and his teammate couldn't hold out for much longer. They had to find a place to hide, away from the snow and wind. Otherwise, if they continued, they would die outside.
Of course you have to go there, but you have to be alive to do so.
Thinking of this, the captain ordered, "Find a cave to hide."
When they heard him say this, everyone became excited. Although they were trembling because of the cold wind outside, they were full of strength at this moment.
