Hoarding Goods In Space: Struggling To Survive In A Crisis World.
Chapter 697 Poplar Forest
“Of course, there are snow-covered mountains in some northern provinces, but the difference is more or less, big or small. The twenty-four peaks we will pass this time are called ghost mountains by the ancients thousands of years ago. The reason why they were called the phantom mountain was Because there was a huge red bird on the Twenty-Four Peak, it could make a shrill cry, it could make a shrill cry, and it is said that whoever hears the call of the red bird will die.
Luo Yang clicked his tongue twice, "This Ning Province is truly a blockbuster. Iunderstood it. The smaller the territory, the more dangerous and mysterious it is. Ning Province not only had Demon City, but also Demon Mountain, Ghost Mountain, and ghosts and ghosts. They're all alive."
“How long does it take to get out of Twenty-Four Peak?” Ye Fu was very concerned about this question.
"There are eighteen bends in the mountain road there, it might take four to five hours."
"This little mountain is not small. It might take three or four hours to get out. The weather is not bad today. Let's rush out of the poplar forest at once."
After Ye Fu finished speaking, he put down the bowl, walked to the poplar tree in front of him, lifted his leg and kicked the tree, with a "scream" sound, his trunk was broken, and his legs were broken, Ye Fu took a piece of trunk to see if it was dry Depending on the level of weathering, these trees might die during the high temperatures in the third year of the last days.
Ye Fu kicked a few more trees, the trunk was very fragile, and the branches would break if pinched lightly or the wind blew.
"After entering the Ning Province, except for a few weeds at the intersection, the further you go inside, the more you can't see the living plants. If you don't find it, it hasn't rained much these two days."
"The environment is too harsh, and I don't know if there are any survivors in Ning Province."
"There may still be survivors in the south, and the north and middle are no longer suitable for human survival."
After packing the tents and backpacks, the four of them set off again. The sandy soil in the poplar forest was very soft, and it was difficult for horses to run. As soon as he entered the poplar forest, Ye Fu saw some dead sea buckthorn trees. A gust of wind blew the yellow sand towards everyone. Sweeping towards him, Ye Fu quickly tightened the reins to make his horse turn around. Ten minutes later, the strong wind gradually subsided, his horse paced restlessly in place, and Ye Fu shook the sand off his body.
"Well, bah, bah ... Mouth full of sand, wind blowing in circles, and horses and I almost upside down." Luo Yang showed bitterness, complaining about the evil wind in the poplar forest while spitting sand .
“Makes me scared half to death, I thought a sandstorm was coming.” As soon as Han Feng said this, Luo Yang quickly stopped him from speaking.
"Not having a crow's mouth, you can't talk nonsense in the wild, it's easy to be effective."
Han Feng looked at Luo Yang in disbelief, "Sister Luo, you are extremely superstitious."
Luo Yang raised his right index finger and shook it twice, "No, the tip of science is metaphysics. You don't have to believe in something, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
"When the wind blew just now, it was indeed like a sandstorm. It is a desert, and sandstorms are common. Looks like we'll have to speed things up."
Ye Fu patted the sand from his body, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Rong.
"Look over there." Jiang Rong picked up the tissue and suddenly pointed to the right. Ye Fu took a closer look, only to find a black object visible in the sand. The two drove forward, and they were less than three meters away from an unknown object At that moment, Jiang Rong stopped him.
"That's a corpse."
Ye Fu also saw something was wrong, and the two quickly got down and walked over to the corpse.At this time, Luo Yang and Han Feng were also chasing after him.
"What's going on?"
Ye Fu took out his gloves and put them on, "I found a corpse, I plan to dig it up and look at it."
The two hurriedly got off his horse and came to help.However, after the first body was dug up, everyone realized that everything was not that simple.
“There is still a corpse in the bunker,” Ye Fu said, and dug twice on the left side of the bunker, and saw a pair of black and withered hands open, he said, with a discolored hand strap tied around his wrist.
Half an hour later, all eight bodies were exhumed, including three men and five women, Ye Fu guessed that they were no more than twenty years old by examining their teeth.
There were a few backpacks next to him, Luo Yang and Han Feng checked the contents, in addition to identity cards and student cards, there were also clothes, mobile phones, and wallets ...
"These children are all students of Ning Provincial University. They can't possibly be killed and dump their bodies here on their way to escape, can they?" Han Feng's speculations were not unreasonable, as Ye Fu took a handful of rusty fruit beside him, and the clothes on the eight mummies were all broken. Ye Fu took off their clothes to inspect and found two knife wounds on the belly of the female corpse. Despite being a mummified corpse, the corpse was still elastic and the wounds on its body were clearly visible.
There were also many stab wounds to other corpses, killing eight people, extremely powerful killers or gangs.
"This peeler's knife is curved."
Ye Fu took out a fruit knife, and frowned, "The knife wound on the corpse is not fatal, but there are many knife wounds. I think this dead man lost too much blood and bled to death."
"So they turned into mummies because the blood in their bodies dried up?"
Ye Fu nodded, "That's possible, depending on how dry his body is, the time of his death may be more than ten years. Let's dig another hole and bury the body."
Luo Yang rubbed his chin, "The killer didn't pick up their luggage. If it was a robbery, the clothes on these corpses should have been taken. Could an acquaintance commit a crime, and his killer kills just to vent his anger, not for matter?"
“Why vent your anger?” Han Feng was confused.
Luo Yang shrugged, "I'm not a cop. How do I know the killer's intentions are just conjecture. All right, let's dig a hole and let them rest in peace."
After digging a hole, the four of them stuffed their corpses and luggage into the hole, As for the fruit knife that killed them, Ye Fu destroyed it.
After the grave was finished, Ye Fu sprinkled some heat-resistant plant seeds around him, hoping that after the rain, hope would grow here.
“Come go, it's time we go.” Ye Fu pulled Jiang Rong back.
Han Feng only took two steps, and shouted while taking off his shoes, "Wait for me, my shoes are full of sand, I'll pour them."
"The wind blew the sand onto my clothes, and the back of my neck was covered in fine sand."
Luo Yang tugged at his clothes, trying to shake the sand off his collar, the sand under his feet was too soft, Ye Fu stepped on him, and most of his calves instantly sank, Jiang Rong lifted him up like a carrot .
"Yo yo Chek Nao, you are the wind and I am the sand, lingering and wandering around the world ..." Ye Fu suddenly knocked, and Jiang Rong looked at him blankly.
"Are you singing?"
Ye Fu was a little embarrassed, "Are you surprised by my beautiful singing voice?"
Jiang Rong shook her head solemnly, "That's not right."
