The First Order

Chapter 114: Psychological Balance (Chapter Seven)

Thousands of people are walking forward, most of them are hungry, but especially in this early winter, people who do not eat will feel the weather is particularly cold.

Wild vegetables are wilting this season, and even shepherd's purse is dying.

The fleeing crowd walked while searching for food, plants, bark, roots...

At first, the barriers still had their own restraint, but they were so hungry that there was no face or dignity in this part.

On the contrary, Ren Xiaosu did not have any psychological pressure at all, and they ate all these things all day and night.

It is bitter to eat wild vegetables raw, and the mouth becomes astringent after eating. Some people vomit after eating, and can't stand this food at all.

However, some people are even more unlucky. They don't know what they ate and lie down on the road with foam.

No one will care about those who fell on the road, everyone just passed by indifferently, and then moved on, just like a group of walking dead.

Only Ren Xiaosu would stop when he passed by. He watched the man say to Yan Liuyuan: "This is the symptom of eating Pulsatilla, which is what we often say of wild celery or poison ginseng. This thing has very long leaves like celery. Ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting, cold hands and feet, and paralysis of the limbs. Serious death can result."

Jiang Wubian, who silently followed behind, wrote down this sentence, and then warned the students not to pick the plant whose leaves are like celery leaves. As a result, the students were at a loss: what does the celery leaves look like?

These students live on barriers on weekdays. Naturally, their parents help them prepare food, clothing and accommodation. Who cares what the celery leaves look like?

After these thousands of refugees passed by, they traversed the road as if they were crossing by locusts. At this time, Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw a buggy in front. Wasn't that the vehicle that Luo Lan was riding?Why did you stop here alone?

Everyone walked over and saw that the beam of the off-road vehicle was broken, so that it could not be repaired at all.

The dirt road in this wilderness is bumpy. Although the off-road vehicle is powerful, it can't stand it.

I am afraid that Luo Lan did not expect that he would encounter such a bad thing, and eventually had to abandon the car.

A group of refugees opened their doors frantically to find out if there was anything to eat in the car, but they were disappointed that the car was so clean that even the leather covers of the seats were removed...

Not only that, but also some parts that were easy to carry were removed. Ren Xiaosu estimated that the removed parts were used as spare parts to prevent other vehicles from malfunctioning, but this car was completely abandoned.

Ren Xiaosu said that Luo Lan was going all the way to the 109 barrier?It stands to reason that Luo Lan may have reached the 109 barrier now.

Many refugees today are discussing whether they can still enter barriers. Some people say that 109 barriers do not allow them to enter?They are legal residents in the barriers!

Although the divisions of various barriers are now fierce, basically all the consortia in actual control have the final say, but nominally all barriers are united fronts.

Some people said that they might not be able to enter. The 113 barriers they were in were under the management of the Qing's consortium, but the 109 barriers they are going to go to are managed by the Li's consortium. They said they wouldn't let you in.

Ren Xiaosu thought that big consortium figures such as Luo Lan usually don't have to think about whether they can enter the barriers. After all, Li's have to give Qing's face.

But others may really be hanging.

They continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for Ren Xiaosu to see another troop-carrying truck parked alone on the road...

Is this another broken one?Everyone took a closer look, it turned out to be a flat tire!

Isn't there any spare tire, Ren Xiaosu is curious.

When the troop transport truck passed by Ren Xiaosu, he saw that the inside was full of soldiers, obviously overloaded a lot.

If this car continues to break down a few more, Ren Xiaosu estimates that Luo Lan may have difficulty reaching the 109 barrier...

However, everyone was very happy to see these damaged vehicles. When Luo Lan and others drove past and drove past, the refugees were thinking about why everyone is walking, but you can drive.

Well now, everyone is more psychologically balanced.

That night, everyone rested by the troop transport truck. At this time, they could not be called "camping". It was simply a crowd of people squeezing on the wilderness and sleeping.

The ground is very cold, and lying on the ground will feel the cold air infiltrating the body.

Many people want to raise a bonfire, but the problem is that they do not bring anything to take the fire!

Ren Xiaosu set up Yan Liuyuan after they had settled and went to collect firewood. The weather was getting colder and colder. The firewood had to be burned all night long, otherwise everyone would get cold and fever easily the next morning.

Although Wang Fugui has medicine there, who would be ill if he is idle?

This season, dry wood is quite easy to find. When Ren Xiaosu came back with a large pile of dry wood, he happened to see Jiang Wuzheng lying on the ground and drilling for fire.

The female teacher organized the students to collect a lot of firewood together, and then planned to rub the wooden stick with her hand and ignited...

Ren Xiaosu shook his head secretly. At first glance, this female teacher saw that the fine skin and tender meat did not do much work. Normal people want to use their hands to drill wood and fire. I am afraid that the palms of the hands will not work.

Jiang Wu knelt on the ground and stubbornly continued to drill into the woods, and a boy said, "Teacher, let me come?"

Jiang Wu shook his head: "You are students, do not have to do this kind of hard work, go to rest."

She gave Ren Xiaosu a subconscious look, wanting to see how Ren Xiaosu got out of the wood, she was also good to learn.

As a result, she saw Ren Xiaosu bring out a box of matches...

Why does this person have any preparations? Jiang Wujian said, everyone clearly escaped, but she always felt that Ren Xiaosu's team was much easier than others!

When Ren Xiaosu's first bonfire rose, the night of the entire camp seemed to be warmer, and the cold moonlight seemed to have a hint of temperature.

Of course, the entire camp is not only Ren Xiaosu who raised a bonfire. In fact, some smokers also brought matches, but several women went to those smokers to borrow fire, but they were all asked very much. How long has it been since he escaped, who would betray himself because of a fire?

Jiang Wu hesitated for a long time and suddenly walked towards Ren Xiaosu. Xiaoyu sisters and others were originally chatting, and then stopped and looked at her after seeing Jiang Wu coming.

"Can you..." Jiang Wutu said with discretion, "Can you let me borrow the fire, I can exchange some of our dry wood for you."

"Yes," Xiaoyu sister said with a smile: "You don't need to dry us, we have enough."

"Thank you," Jiang Wu was a little excited: "Thank you so much!"

She ran back to her side with some dry wood and came to use Ren Xiaosu to light their bonfire. The students next to them looked at each other expectantly, like a group of chicks waiting to feed.
