Chapter 170: The Thorn Net Removed
I felt so weak that I couldn't even run away.
A dozen soldiers quickly bent down, carried them on their backs, and shouted to the survivors huddled in the corner.
"If you don't want to die, hurry up and follow me..." and they ran out without looking back, because a fierce gun battle had just taken place here.
There might be other dangers nearby. If they stayed here, people nearby would come to search soon.
The tired crowd would certainly not be able to withstand a second gunfight, so Xiang Yu always carried his backpack on his back so that he could escape at any time.
Seeing the team leader running out with his head down, Xiang Yu stood up and chased after him. The survivor who was huddled in the corner was stunned for a moment.
But they still had to stand up quickly and run along with the soldiers, only then could they survive.
After returning to the trail back to the shelter, everyone now had a sense of direction, and there were still two days of driving left.
If I take a car, I can get back in two days, but now it will probably take me a week to walk.
After running on the trail for almost an hour, the team leader asked everyone to stop and rest.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening. They found a hill sheltered from the wind and sat down. After relaxing, everyone felt like they had survived a disaster.
There were yellow desert hills all around, not a single tree, and no firewood to start a fire.
Everyone huddled together to keep warm.
Xiang Yu grabbed a handful of yellow sand and held it in his hand. Fine sand mixed with volcanic ash slipped through his fingers.
Although the daytime temperature is over 30 degrees, the night temperature is close to zero degrees.
Everyone was shivering with cold. Xiang Yu opened his backpack halfway, took out a three-in-one windbreaker from it, and put it on.
Also take out the fleece-lined combat pants and put them on.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Xiang Yu's actions, and for a moment they felt the surroundings became even colder.
Seeing how everyone was cowering, the team leader sent two people to find some firewood nearby to keep them warm.
They are on missions outside all year round and have been through much harsher environments. This temperature is just a small matter for them.
It looks like they will rest here tonight. Xiang Yu took down the tent from under the backpack and pitched it not far from the others.
Soon the two soldiers found the firewood and ignited it with flint. Then everyone gathered around the yellow bonfire.
Put your arms and legs close to the fire to keep warm.
He took off the sleeping bag under the backpack, put it into the tent, and fell asleep.
When Xiang Yu woke up at three o'clock in the morning, he opened the tent. At this time, everyone around the campfire had already fallen asleep, and more than a dozen soldiers took turns to keep watch.
There was also some firewood piled next to the campfire, and a soldier was adding more firewood.
Xiang Yu then fell down and continued to sleep.
After waking up in the morning, we had our meals in the tent, including steamed meat buns, soy milk, shrimp dumplings, and steamed soft and glutinous tiger skin chicken feet.
I also had half a bowl of vegetarian noodles, which made me feel very full because I would probably be consuming it throughout the whole day.
The people around the campfire were also eating at this time. A dozen soldiers also built another campfire with an iron pot on it.
There was only half of the water in the pot, and white smoke was coming out of it, indicating that the water was boiling.
The team leader tore open a bag of noodles, put all the noodles in, covered the pot and simmered it. When it was about to be served, he tore open two packets of compressed biscuits and put them in.
The noodles and compressed biscuits are mixed together, and the seasoning is simple salt.
"Brothers, you have been cold all night. Hurry up and bring a bowl and eat something hot to warm your body. We need to continue our journey later."
While they were eating, Xiang Yu packed up the tent and sleeping bag. There was actually nothing in her backpack.
The weight on my back comes entirely from the tent and sleeping bag.
While sitting aside waiting, Xiang Yu took out the thermos cup and quietly made himself a pot of tea to drink while on his journey.
Everyone woke up very early in the morning. After all, they didn't sleep well the whole night. Their hands and feet were cold, and a gust of wind could wake them up.
Yan Xiuying's condition now seems to be much better than the previous two days.
He will eat on his own initiative and no longer shows signs of self-harm.
Perhaps it was because of the gunfight last night that those who suffered psychological trauma have recovered a lot.
After all, nothing is more important than your own life.
At this time, the team has entered the territory of City B, and the thorn net that previously blocked the border has been removed.
If you walk fast, you can cross the entire city B and return to the shelter in city A in three days.
[City B Welcomes You], a huge billboard stood on the side of the road, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the words on it.
City B and City A are not far from each other, and they all looked relieved when they thought that they would be able to go back soon.
At this time, the events in City B had not spread yet, and many ordinary people did not have access to deeper information, so they naturally did not know that City B had rebelled.
But these dozen or so soldiers obviously heard something about it.
After entering the territory of City B, they, like Xiang Yu, became alert at all times.
