Chapter 119: The Back Mountain of the Town
Lu Ming, who was in front, asked worriedly, "Are we really not going to help Aze? He seems to be having a hard time climbing."
Gu Chao grabbed her outstretched hand and pulled her up with a force. Then he said calmly, "If you help him now, he will never have the chance to grow. At this moment, he is not qualified to be protected by anyone. The best way to teach someone to swim is to drive him into the water."
It seems to make some sense.
Lu Ming seemed to be lost in thought.
Seeing that she seemed convinced, Gu Chao glanced at the little ghost behind him, who happened to be looking over too.
Their eyes met.
Gu Chaowei raised the corners of his lips, and Aze did not hide his angry expression.
mock up.
Lu Ming, who was standing next to him, spoke again, wanting to look back. "But, he's still young, we'll talk to him later..."
Gu Chao quickly squeezed her hand and tilted his head to signal Xiaoyue who was climbing alone next to him, "She is only eleven."
Lu Ming was speechless and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Well, there is no harm without comparison.
Lu Ming finally stopped caring about others and concentrated on climbing himself. After all, there were many trees on this mountain, so it would not be easy to roll down.
On the contrary, they have to pay more attention to things in the front, such as whether there are mutant animals or plants, poisonous spiders or snakes?
Gu Chao finally enjoyed the rare time together as he wished.
However, after a while, after Gu Chao pulled her onto a large rock, she suddenly let go of his hand as if she had realized something and said seriously, "You're right. If we don't experience these hardships ourselves, we will never be able to make progress. From now on, you don't have to help me anymore. I want to work hard on my own!"
After saying that, he spotted a spot, took a deep breath, jumped up a few times, and rushed to the front, trying to catch up with Lin Cong and Li Hangyuan.
Gu Chao behind him: "..."
unwise.
He finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
He sighed silently and jumped up with the little girl.
---------------------
After climbing for five or six hours, we finally reached the top of the mountain. Everyone was a little out of breath, but the weakest person present was only at level three, so they were just a little tired.
It was already afternoon when they came in, and now that it was getting dark, they stopped to set up camp and rest.
They chose a relatively flat place, Luming took out the tent and sleeping bags, and everyone set them up. They sat around the fire and watched Luming cook noodles.
Although they had agreed to provide their own food and lodging before they came out, they were not stingy people and had been through thick and thin together for so long, so Lu Ming naturally included the portions for Qin Ye and Su Luo. Not knowing their tastes, he cooked a three-fresh dish with corn, carrots, cabbage, bone soup dumplings and luncheon meat, and seasoned it. The aroma wafted far away.
But since there were outsiders around, she did not reveal her secret. She deliberately added dehydrated vegetables as the ingredients and ordinary mineral water as the water. It was just an ordinary pot of noodles.
But it is also delicious for the hungry people.
Qin Ye and Su Luo had always been eating dry food or instant food packets. This was the first time they had tasted Lu Ming's cooking. They fell in love with it after the first bite and praised it repeatedly.
Of course, cool sister Su Luo still didn't say anything extra, but she ate no slower than Qin Ye.
After eating, two people were left to keep watch as usual, while the others took the time to rest.
However, they did not forget that they had gone into the woods to avoid the tide of zombies. Although they were indeed resting, none of them slept too soundly. In the middle of the night, when the wind blew and the leaves rustled, some people would wake up and wait quietly for a while. Only when there was no other movement would they go back to sleep.
So, after an uneasy night, everyone had some dark circles under their eyes.
After daybreak, they began to descend the mountain.
Going down the mountain is much more dangerous than going up. The trees on this side are sparser, there are fewer footholds, and the angle is steeper. A novice like Aze who doesn't often climb mountains rolled several times before walking far.
Lu Ming helped him up and healed some of his external injuries. Then he took out some climbing ropes, tied Xiaoyue to himself, and tied Aze and Gu Chao together before continuing down the mountain.
Forced to be tied together, one big and one small: "..."
It took another day to climb over the second mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, I could vaguely see some tall and short houses below the mountain.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were almost at their destination.
In the evening, they followed the vines and swung across a pond that emitted a strange and foul smell, and walked into a woods behind the town.
We came across several grave mounds along the way. Judging from the words on the tombstones and the weeds in front of the tombs, they should have been there before the end of the world.
Walking to a tree stump left after felling, Gu Chao squatted down and gently rubbed the still wet cross-section with his thumb. "There are still people in the town. Everyone, put away your weapons first."
If this was a small base, seeing so many armed people appearing in the mountain behind their homes might cause unnecessary misunderstandings. However, they did not want to cause trouble and just wanted to pass through.
"Don't move!"
Aze suddenly heard Xiaoyue's call and stopped subconsciously.
He frowned and asked, "What for?"
Xiaoyue came over with a branch, pushed him away, and then poked it into the grass. There was a "clang" sound, and a trap with a cold glow quickly clamped down, cutting the branch into two pieces.
Aze broke out in a cold sweat on his back. If he had just stepped on it, his legs would have been broken.
Wasn't it a bit too much when he called her a little mute last time?
I didn't expect that she didn't care...
He pursed his lips and was about to say thank you awkwardly, but when he raised his head, he saw Xiaoyue slightly raised her chin and gave him a look that said "Watch your way, idiot!" Then she turned and left, leaving only the back of her noble and cold head.
Humph! This annoying little mute!
Aze was immediately furious. He snorted coldly, quickened his pace and walked forward.
Lu Ming was quietly paying attention to the interaction between the two people behind him, secretly laughing at how cute the two little guys were. However, he tripped out of joy and fell face first to the ground.
Fortunately, she reacted very quickly, took a step forward, steadied her body, and then noticed the thing that tripped her.
"What's this?"
She squatted down, brushed away the surface dirt, touched something particularly hard, and talked to herself.
Gu Chao silently withdrew his hand that was about to support her, and when he heard her words, he squatted beside her.
"It should be the bones of some kind of beast."
The animal trap just now should be a trap set by the townspeople.
However, can the meat of mutant beasts be eaten?
He asked Lu Ming this.
"It depends on the species. For example, mutant pigs are edible."
But this place was discovered so early, these residents are really amazing.
After walking forward for a while, Gu Chao suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.
Someone.
