"What?!"
This is true, but as for the story, I'll have to let Buzhidongfang tell it in detail.
As soon as he led his troops over, the group of people started to make a fuss about separating.
Anyway, even if Lizhi returned to his hometown to farm, he would rather not go through such a dangerous situation with them. Then he felt a little reluctant to see the group of people leave, so he gave each of them a few taels of silver.
It was just their travel expenses back home and compensation for having stayed here for so many years, but after they left, they would have very little money left.
There was plenty of food, but who would have thought that after just a few nights there, we would discover a hurricane.
Fortunately there is a sand dune.
The sand dunes behind them offered some protection, so they spent the night there.
But who would have thought that the sand dunes collapsed and a hurricane hit, so several of them were buried so deep that they couldn't even be dug out.
And this was just the beginning of the exploration. Seeing this situation, some people were so scared that they immediately turned back.
He didn't even take money or food. Considering that they had been walking for a whole day, although they were very close to the exit, going back like this would undoubtedly be suicide.
So no one knows whether the group that turned back is dead or alive.
"You're a little bit lucky, aren't you..."
Zhao Xin chuckled.
This is really bad luck.
Then he continued speaking.
What happened next was that most of the people had already left, and only a few dozen people were able to follow him.
With the rations, these people could survive for a while, and the next day they discovered crows circling in the sky.
And there was indeed a person in our camp who was almost dying due to lack of water and drought.
They had no choice but to abandon this man here to attract crows.
In fact, they then grabbed a handful to fill their stomachs.
After two or three rounds of this, it was indeed very effective. However, the man who was already dying was also tortured to death by them.
However, this effect, coupled with the fact that the rations would eventually run out, was gone one day.
But this person had to walk anyway, and he didn't find any useful resources on the road, only weeds.
There is no water and no food.
In the end, all I could do was use the shovel in my hand to dig the soil and absorb the water from it to drink.
And without food, this is a big problem.
There is no way.
When the food was gone, everyone became like devils, plotting against their teammates, such as killing people secretly. This kind of situation often happened when distributing food in the morning.
Someone actually spread this kind of news on him.
However, he was outmaneuvered, and no one dared to touch Buzhi Dongfang anymore.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Those who died were usually killed in secret or because they were not skilled enough.
And what else can they do? The man has died and they can't just not eat the food, so they decided to do whatever they can to get the food.
In the end, a few people were so hungry that they even pounced on Buzhi Dongfang, but they were stopped by Buzhi Dongfang and chopped to death.
He couldn't bear to eat his teammate's corpse. It wasn't so much that he couldn't bear to eat it, but rather that he felt nauseous after eating it.
So he took Lu Zhong to hunt some rabbits for food. Although they were not full, they could still move forward.
Most of the things I brought with me were basically useless after I arrived in the desert, so I threw them away and only took a few things with me before going deeper into the desert.
At this time, there were only a few people following him. After going through so many days of trials, there were only five people following him.
The army was reduced from several hundred people to five.
Including the half that were killed, there are only five left!
Although the six of them were naturally starving, they were able to eat the corpses of their teammates, so they felt a little better.
Occasionally, you would come across a camel that had died recently and you could share the food with it.
The days passed leisurely, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw a high tower oasis in front of me. There was even a water source on top of it. It looked like heaven at first glance!
They walked for a long time, but found that it was just a mirage.
And above it is a prosperous scene, I don’t know which direction the scene is reflected from.
Then we walked further and discovered many breathtaking ancient monuments.
However, they are all buried deep in the desert and are worth exploring.
Of course, I was wary of my previous experience of almost being buried, so I didn't plan to go and see it.
Then walk a little further and you will find the oasis in front.
After entering the oasis, they were very enthusiastic, and the falcon above their heads was also very enthusiastic.
They did not pounce on people to eat them, so they were able to enter this place smoothly and eat and drink for free.
They just treated themselves as distinguished guests and ate and drank for free. The remaining people were not in the mood to leave, so they stayed there.
Naturally, one of them was exhausted, so he brought another companion to settle here.
I don’t know why Dongfang didn’t refuse.
So he led the remaining three people back.
However, on the way back, we encountered strong winds again, and the sand was so strong that people couldn't open their eyes.
Fortunately, they were able to get out completely with the compass, but due to hunger there for several days, some people chose to die.
It's sad, lamentable and a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it. This was that person's choice, and there's no regret after he dies.
"So what about the rest of us?"
"They were in the inn in the city and couldn't move anymore. They bought this horse from a local resident."
"Well... then, call them all back. I'm hosting a banquet for you now. Besides, you've successfully returned with news of the Black Wasteland. Based on the conditions I offer you, you can now receive ten chests of gold and silver!"
Then he glanced at Xiao Chenzi next to him.
"Read the contract."
Xiao Chenzi took the paper given by Zhao Xin and opened it, only to find that it was a contract, and that he would be paid as long as he could successfully get out of the Black Wasteland.
"The reward is five boxes of gold and silver, thirty pieces of cloth, a fierce horse from another country as tribute, and two imperial swords."
This reward sounds really generous. The gold, silver, and the sword of the Fiery Horse are enough to show the emperor's sincerity.
So this was not a small amount of money, and the emperor did have a favor for him, so he just smiled and tried to refuse it.
"No, Your Majesty. Considering your previous kindness to me, I cannot accept this. Just one box will do. Besides, all the brothers in it died in the Black Wasteland..."
Looking at his expression again, I couldn't tell whether it was despair or a sigh.
Only in life-or-death situations can one see a person's true character.
He had already experienced this life-and-death moment, and had seen how these people's eyes, like hungry wolves, harmed those who were not well-trained.
"Why are you making such excuses?"
