Chapter 45 The Peaceful Lot
"It should be this way. You didn't go the wrong way again, right Siheng?"
Luo Yi sat aside and looked at Lu Siheng who was frowning at the map. She felt something bad in her heart.
After leaving Area B, Lu Siheng suddenly proposed that she would lead the team, and Luo Yi handed over this important task to her without much thought.
I thought that with the map's guidance and Lu Siheng's own direction identification, there should be no problem.
As a result... I got lost.
"Sister, can we still get to Area C?" Lu Di said without hope.
"Don't make any noise, I'm looking at the map."
Lu Siheng concentrated on it. According to the information on the map, they were still two or three kilometers away from Area C. As long as they could distinguish the direction in the forest, they could reach Area C.
"Hey, stop looking now. It will be dark by the time you find the direction. Let the boss come quickly."
"Let's go, I finally became a tour guide, and you say this to me? Believe it or not, I will throw it into the forest for you?"
Under Lu Siheng's threat, Lu Di had no choice but to shut up.
Seeing this, Luo Yi stood up and patted Lu Di on the shoulder.
"It's rare for your sister to be at the helm. We must fully support her. There is still some time before evening, so let's wait patiently."
………
Three hours later.
Finally, Lu Siheng gave up the idea of looking for a direction. She led everyone around the jungle for a long time, but could not find a way out. Fortunately, Luo Yi took action and successfully took everyone out.
"Boss, am I not suitable to be a navigator?" Lu Siheng squatted on the ground in despair and began to doubt his life.
"No, everyone has their own strengths. Your machine builder is quite powerful. Don't be discouraged." Luo Yi comforted him.
At night, the four of them walked in the dark and arrived at the boundary line of Area C. Not far away, they could see a house in the mountains, surrounded by large areas of farmland, and there were even people dozing on chairs.
The most ordinary life like this suddenly made everyone vigilant. The situation in Area C is still unclear. The reason why there is such a peaceful and tranquil phenomenon is either an illusion or the ruler here is too powerful.
"Hey, you young people, if you don't go home to sleep, why are you still blocking the way?"
The old man's sudden voice made the four of them immediately alert. Luo Yi's hand had already been put on the gun. If the old man made any move, he would be killed immediately by Luo Yi's gun.
Seeing that they were motionless and silent, the old man continued to speak: "Are you leaving or not? If not, please move out of the way. I want to go home."
After hearing this, everyone moved out of the way to let the old man go home. Before leaving, the old man was still singing happily on the road, feeling very comfortable.
After the old man walked away, the four of them looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to say.
"Um, boss, are we in the wrong place?" Lu Di asked.
"Hmm... it should be right, I walked based on the map." Luo Yi showed the map to everyone and pointed to their current location with his finger.
Everyone was silent for a while, and then walked carefully into the village. There were some weak lights inside, and it was not difficult to see that someone was lighting candles in their house.
It is hard to imagine that in this century there are still people in villages who use candles. This kind of lighting tool that was used many years ago has been eliminated for a long time.
There were some subtle voices in the village, which sounded like they were talking about this year's harvest. Due to the weather, this year's grain harvest was even better than before.
"The Lord of the Land has really appeared! Next year, we will put out tributes!"
"No, we are going to put out more than last year and pray for a better harvest."
The two old men discussed the tributes, and at the front of the village, there was an earth temple, which worshiped this year's latest harvest of millet and some fresh fruits.
It is not difficult to see that the villagers in this village have great faith in the earth god.
"I didn't expect that in this apocalyptic world, there would be such a well-protected earth temple."
Tan Kui couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Area C had not been attacked and destroyed on a large scale by Taotie, otherwise the villagers would not be able to live here leisurely.
Looking at the Earth Temple in front of them, everyone also bowed to him for good luck, praying for more food in the end of the world so that they could survive until the end.
After the worship, everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of being blessed, and Luo Yi looked at the Earth Temple in front of her, and she always felt as if these eyes were staring at her.
I wanted to walk in and take a closer look, but I was blocked by an old figure behind me.
"Stop! How dare you disrespect the Land Master!"
The old man picked up his crutch and walked towards Luo Yi and others step by step.
"Old man, you misunderstood. We came from out of town and accidentally entered the village. We wanted to find out the way to Area C."
After hearing Luo Yi's explanation, the old man observed the four of them carefully. After seeing that the four of them looked a little embarrassed, he felt relieved.
"So that's it. You have to go forward in Area C. There is a shortcut in our village. You can walk through the mountain road over there." The old man pointed to the mountain over there with his cane.
"So that's it, can we stay here all night? Because there is really nowhere to go around." Luo Yi requested.
"Well... okay, you can sleep next to the Earth Temple. There is a shelter from the wind there, but remember, please don't come to the Earth Temple."
After saying that, the old man left tremblingly.
Everyone came to the big shed on the other side. It was full of dust and extremely dark. It was completely different from the Earth Temple just now.
Everyone had no choice but to find a clean place outside and prepare to sleep.
Late at night, there was a collision sound from somewhere. Luo Yi suddenly opened his eyes, put his hand on the pistol, and looked around cautiously.
I saw a figure passing by the Earth Temple, neither fast nor slow, and the sound just now did not stop him.
"Who?"
Luo Yi stood up and quietly approached the area around the Tutu Temple.
Soon, the sound of breaking things came from the Tutu Temple. The sound was very loud, but the villagers outside seemed to be deaf and could not hear the sound.
Luo Yi climbed directly through the window and saw a tall figure hitting the ground with a hammer, but every attack would cause him to hit the wall behind him.
"Why can't I destroy you? Why? I have become a person with abilities, why are you still unwilling to disappear?!" the man roared angrily.
Then came another blow and another, but the result remained the same every time. The man's back was hit with a large amount of blood, but he had no intention of stopping.
With a bang, the man was knocked out again. If he hit the wall again, the man might die here.
Seeing this, Luo Yi pulled the man aside the moment he flew out. Due to the effect of inertia, both of them hit the pillar next to them, but fortunately the impact was not big.
"Are you crazy? Why did you destroy the Earth Temple?" Luo Yi asked breathlessly.
"It has nothing to do with you, get out of the way!"
The man still wanted to continue, but he saw the door slowly opening, and a figure appeared at the door, his eyes particularly bright in the dark night.
