Chapter 35, second update: Why do we have to hurry again?
I've only slept for more than five hours and I'm still very sleepy.
Xinxue heard Lu Erya's voice coming from the radio, tirelessly telling everyone to wake up and it was time to set off.
She groaned twice, covered her face with the quilt, and hugged Ashu tightly.
Unconsciously, she said coquettishly, "I'm so sleepy, I don't want to get up... Why do we have to hurry up again..."
New snow is usually very strong and her emotions come very calmly.
Whenever he shows this little temper, Ah Shu finds it particularly cute.
She immediately got up, stretched her arms to reach the radio console, and said jokingly, "Then you go to sleep first. I'll talk to Lu Erya and promise her that there will be absolutely no snakes today, okay?"
Xinxue used her little brain to think for a moment, then pulled Ah Shu back.
She rubbed her eyes and said softly, "Forget it... Just hurry on your way. She doesn't know it's you, so no matter how much you promise, it's useless..."
"Come here, let me hug you for a while." Xinxue opened her arms towards Ah Shu, who immediately forgot about looking for Lu Erya and came over happily.
When getting off the car to wash and eat, Xinxue secretly observed.
I found that almost everyone had thick dark circles under their eyes, and their hands moved very slowly, as if they were half awake but half unconscious.
It seems that the python has left a deep impression on everyone. When we return to the base, we will have nothing to say.
The team travelled at full speed today without stopping to rest.
Except for Xinxue and Ashu, everyone else wanted to leave this territory as soon as possible.
Moreover, the road is not easy to drive on, and the driver has to drive himself most of the time, so Lu Cai’s special ability cannot be used.
Xinxue quietly chatted with Ah Shu, and said in a worried tone, "If we leave the territory today, we won't be able to go back to the gym tonight."
She hadn't been back for a long time and was particularly curious about what her home had become. If she passed by this time but couldn't see it with her own eyes, she would definitely be disappointed.
I don’t know how to adjust it.
Ah Shu thought about it for a while and came up with a solution.
When the convoy stopped to rest and fetch water by a stream, she sneaked out.
As time was running out, Ah Shu did not transform into a snake and just ran on the road using his legs.
He listened attentively, looked in all directions, and sniffed the air constantly. He found an evolved species not far away.
And what a coincidence, it was the little snake that was walking with Xinxue when she was about to leave the gymnasium, but was trapped on the road by the heavy rain.
Its evolutionary direction did not allow it to grow larger, but it developed wisdom. It was now clinging to a dead tree trunk, pretending to be half a branch.
Seeing Ah Shu's familiar yet unfamiliar face, the little snake was terrified.
But then it felt a little happy. As long as King Ashu was not dead, the ownership of this territory would not change.
No one knows what the temperament of the next king of the territory will be. As long as Ah Shu is still alive, everyone can live their lives as usual.
It was surprised and happy, and its eyes kept looking down.
I have no idea why the snake tail behind King Ashu disappeared after he went out for a while.
Moreover, it was particularly worried about what would happen if King Ashu suddenly got the urge to transform his own snake tail into two thin human legs.
The little snake was so frightened by its own imagination that it curled up into a ball and subconsciously wanted to escape.
But its movement trajectory and escape intention could not escape the eyes of the Python King.
The little snake had only run two steps when it felt its body losing control and was quickly lifted up by its seven-inch body.
It was so frightened that it immediately turned into a soft noodle, drooping its body.
"Don't pretend to be dead, do me a favor." Ah Shu mercilessly shook twice the little snake whose eyes were about to turn into mosquito coil eyes.
Seeing it blinking slowly and still breathing, he said directly, "Go to the stadium and find the sika deer family. Have them block the road so that the cars are forced to stop.
Xinxue and I want to go back to the stadium tonight, but if we keep going at full speed, we'll be too far away, and it won't be worth it to rush back at night."
After thinking about the distance to the gymnasium, Ah Shu felt that he was making things difficult for the little snake.
She pinched the little snake in front of her eyes and stared into its little eyes. "Forget it, no need to go to the gym. I'll give this task to you. Can you stop the convoy? Nod your head if you can."
Although Ah Shu posed a difficult problem to the snake, he never mentioned any reward.
Because this is her territory, her people should do anything for her.
Not only are they ungrateful, but they also want rewards, which is simply a fantasy.
Although he felt a little dizzy, the little snake understood what Ah Shu said.
It mustered its strength, shook its neck up and down, and agreed to it.
Seeing that his teammates were still staying by the stream, A Shu took the opportunity to return to the team and quietly made an OK gesture to Xinxue.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Erya sighed lightly and said with a bitter smile: "Everyone seems to have rested enough, so let's continue on our journey.
These past two days have been really hard, but there’s nothing we can do about it. This is the difficulty of this mission.
To survive, for the First Squad, all this hard work is worth it."
The more miserable life is, the more relatable these inspiring words become.
"For the first team!" the team members responded.
But Ah Shu just stood there as if nothing had happened.
Lu Erya understood that she had only been there for a short time and did not feel a sense of belonging to the First Team.
But yesterday's incident with the Python King had disturbed her mind, and she was eager to hear a few nice words from Ah Shu, a highly combative man.
To give courage to my group.
Her gaze was so intense that Xinxue felt embarrassed.
She felt Xinxue bump her with her arm, signaling her to stop pretending to be mute.
Ah Shu then curled his lips and forced a nonchalant smile: "Yeah, for the money."
This sentence was indeed not very pleasant to hear, but it made Lu Erya feel relieved.
The most frightening thing is that the strong are fearless.
If we have goals and weaknesses, then when faced with common interests, we can be like grasshoppers on the same rope.
She no longer worried that Ashu would abandon his team and run away with Xinxue when he encountered danger.
After all, if his team was defeated and wiped out here, all the wages Ah Shu earned for this mission would be wasted.
She also couldn't easily return to Hope Base and continue her life.
Lu Erya lowered her head, her long hair hanging down, and she smiled gloomily: "Okay, to make money."
Next, the convoy continued to move forward in an orderly manner.
But I don’t know if it’s because of disrepair or if the evolved species living here are all destroyers.
In short, the road conditions ahead are getting worse and worse.
Sometimes there are several huge potholes that are impossible to ignore and so bumpy that people worry about tire blowouts, and sometimes there is a huge half-dead tree root lying across the middle of the road.
The convoy had to stop every once in a while to deal with emergencies.
After several times, Lu Cai noticed something unusual.
She touched the thick tree trunk that several people had lifted together and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Captain Lu, the broken part of this tree trunk is still wet. It feels like it was broken not long ago."
"I hope it wasn't done by the Python King last night..." Her guess made Lu Erya shudder.
They thought they were driving to escape from the snake's mouth, but the final outcome was that they were driving towards the snake's lair?
After a moment's deliberation, Lu Erya issued a command: "Slow down the pathfinder. We should drive slowly and observe the situation ahead. If we see something wrong, run away immediately."
Ah Shu herself didn't want the convoy to move too fast, so Lu Erya asked her to go downstairs to move things.
She didn't use her full strength, pretending that her arm was not seriously sprained and she could only use one hand, trying her best to fish.
In front of the convoy were more than a dozen evolved species of different races.
The little snake received Ah Shu's order and called them together.
Some were responsible for digging a few pits in the ground, some were responsible for knocking down innocent trees, some were responsible for carrying huge rocks, and some were even very careless and directly dragged the prey onto the road and gnawed it slowly...
At this time, the pathfinder vehicle at the front of the vehicle suddenly braked and stopped the vehicle.
The driver took photos to record this rare scene.
While turning on the radio, he lowered the volume, trying not to attract the leopard's attention.
"Captain! There's a leopard eating a rabbit up ahead. It's covered in blood. Should we take a detour or wait for it to go away?"
Lu Erya took a look at the topographic map and found that there was no way to take a detour.
She was doubting her life as she replied, "There's no way around it, let's retreat first. This leopard is so unrefined, eating in the street. What if it attracts other carnivores..."
Ever since Xiaoshe took the order, the convoy encountered emergencies every few kilometers, and had to stop and go, and hadn't driven very far.
That night, the convoy was already dizzy and they stopped only forty or fifty kilometers away from the stadium to rest on the spot.
A Shu gave a thumbs up to the evolved species in his territory.
I silently decided that when I come back to be the king again, I would consider being nicer to everyone.
I still decided not to set up a tent tonight and sleep in the car.
When the moonlight was shining brightly, the convoy became silent.
Fatigue all day long made almost everyone fall into a deep sleep quickly, and even snoring could be heard.
A Shu picked up Xinxue by the waist and gave her a gentle kiss on the face.
He looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Xue, let's go home."
In fact, Xinxue was also a little sleepy, but it was not easy to come back. It would be a real regret if I didn’t go back to take a look.
She yawned softly, put her arms around Ah Shu's neck, and let her hold her like a princess.
The voice was soft and sticky: "Okay, go home."
