Chapter 84 The Long Journey (Part 7)
Chen Nuo and the others survived the most dangerous time with a meal of raw venison. Although the originally six or seven hundred refugee team is still alive, no more than five hundred people. Looking back on the trekking that was almost like a walking corpse these days, Chen Nuo wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth.
"Buried the ones who were thrust to death... Forget it, just throw it away like this! Clean up the things you can use. The smell of blood is too strong and it may attract the wolf." However, Chen Nuo looked at the refugees with green eyes. It was estimated that the fewer wolves might not be enough for these refugees to eat.
The strong smell of blood was enough to attract some predators, but when the first coyote came from a distance following the smell of blood, only the simply buried corpses and scattered blood were left on the ground.
However, these coyotes quickly dug out the shallow buried corpses with their claws, and the gathering of scavengers launched a feast in the wilderness. Chen Nuo, who had left all this, and a fierce picnic could not help everyone who had already reached their limits to recover their health in an instant.
The reason for burying the corpses shallowly is actually that they hope that these corpses can delay those predators for a longer period of time so that the weakest people can run a longer distance. Yes, Chen Nuo and the others just use the bodies of refugees who have been killed as bait, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Because they were too weak, they could be so weak that they could kill the group of wild deer, which might be the cause of the accident. Chen Nuo and the others left in a hurry, and they didn't even take away some deer bones. They just took some of the hurried and shallow refugees who were sure to be able to die of choke and left.
A group of people like wild dogs ran a long way out of breath before daring to stop. It was really awkward for Chen Nuo and the others. But even if they were in awkward, they did not leave their injured brothers. That's right! Many of those refugees died, but none of them were injured.
Not only did there be many foods during this period, even if the food was not enough, these wounded people still had some food. So the best among the group was the wounded, and they even looked a little fat. Of course, the white ones would definitely not be white. Even if the wounded people had clean water when cleaning the wound, their faces would be as gray at other times.
Chen Nuo, who was lying on the grass, tried hard to look at the sky above his head with his eyes open. He felt that he seemed to be back when he was weak and weak. At that time, he was also hungry for many days after a meal. He competed with those adults for a bite, and could not even rob it.
The stomach and intestines in the body quickly squirmed and quickly reduced the adult belly, which was bulging like a pregnancy, and a large amount of nutrients were absorbed and transformed by the stomach and intestines. In a short period of time, Chen Nuo's pale face turned a little blush. In fact, not only Chen Nuo, but others' faces also recovered quickly. If it weren't for the large amount of dust on their faces, they would probably be able to see each other.
From this point of view, it can be seen that orphans who have mastered certain extraordinary abilities have recovered faster than those refugees. When those refugees are still feeling uncomfortable while covering their stomachs, even trying to endure physical discomfort and do not want to spit out food. Most of the orphans, Chen Nuo and others, have recovered, at least Chen Nuo's own bulging belly has been flat.
With the completion of digestion, a large amount of blood returned to the brain with sufficient nutrition, and Chen Nuo's rigid brain finally began to have an IQ online.
"Mad! These days are really dangerous!" Chen Nuo knew very well, thanks to the fact that they had not encountered any too fierce beasts in the past few days, otherwise, with their previous state, it might not be possible that the entire army would be wiped out, but it is probably very likely that the damage was severe.
"Brother Rong, how are you doing?" After the IQ was launched, Chen Nuo slowly sat up, and the stars flashed above his head.
"No need to look at it! Basically, they are all OK, but their bones are a little weak! Deer blood is said to be very nourishing, and it may be able to get some energy." Chen Rong said weakly while lying on the ground.
"Do you think we can get through this time?" Chen Nuo sat next to Shen Rong. He asked not now but behind.
"Yes!" Chen Rong didn't say much. His body recovery speed was not as fast as Chen Nuo. It would be good if he could hum a few times.
Looking at Chen Rong who continued to lie down, Chen Nuo slowly pulled out his knife, and a faint fluorescence reflected from the blade under the starlight. He carefully used a whetstone to take care of the blade. In this quiet night, Chen Nuo's movement was probably the only movement.
When the morning light shone on the ground again, the refugees who had been lying on their stomachs all night finally began to recover and slowly climbed up from the ground. However, some people were still lying on the ground forever. They had some gray faces with traces of being bitten by poisonous snakes, while others had no scars at all
However, no one cares about those who survived. For everyone, sadness and numbness have completely dried up their tears, and even Eldroud doesn't have much thought at the moment. The only thing they hope now is to live and reach Hurta.
In the morning light, a group of living refugees, like zombies, slowly embarked on the journey. They knew where the end was, but they looked at the wilderness that was almost impossible to see in the distance but didn't know how long it would take to go.
The group slowly moved towards the distance goal, and the impact of a meal of raw venison was still there. At least the refugees walked a few more kilometers on this day.
At the same time, God seemed to have begun to favor them. After a difficult day, they saw a stream in the evening, a stream flowing towards the distance.
This is even happier for everyone who has not had fresh water for three days than meeting a herd of bison, because the stream does not rush towards the river, but winds towards the bushes not far away.
After walking along the stream for several kilometers, a lake that was not very large but at least a few acres wide came into their eyes.
"Have you heard of this lake before?" The clear lake water made Chen Nuo and the others see one, but they did not blindly approach the lake, but pulled Eld Road, which was still stained with water on their faces.
"No! Actually, I'm not sure where we are now?" The subtext of Eldro's words is that they seem to be lost. The general direction may be the right one, but they are definitely not going to the official road from Senta to Hurta.
"..." Chen Nuo stared at Eldro, he didn't expect that he would hear the worst news from the other party. For them, what they feared the most was the lost.
After staring at Eldro, he almost scared the other party to death, Chen Nuo finally sighed helplessly. When Chen Nuo turned his head, Chen Rong put down the telescope in his hand.
"Did you see something?" Chen Nuo asked after calming down his mood.
"There should be drinkable fish and water in this lake. And if I guess correctly, it should be a meteorite lake formed by a meteorite falling. The island in the middle of the lake is actually a fragment of the meteorite." Chen Rong put down the telescope in his hand and said.
"Is the meteorite? Will it be similar to the ore of the Dog Kowloon?" Chen Nuo thought about the ore in the Dog Kowloon mine, and the armor on his body was forged by that ore.
"It's possible! I can see metal reflections, but even for us it's useless. What we lack now is not ore!" Chen Rong said with a sigh.
"What do you think if we cultivate here for the time being?" Chen Nuo suddenly said loudly, not only asking for questions but also making a decision.
"Not bad! As long as the camp is built, this is a good place to cultivate. As long as we don't encounter too powerful monsters, we can fully nourish our bodies and then go to Hurta." Chen Rong agreed with Chen Nuo's suggestion, because if we continue to move like this, even those of them can't guarantee whether they will starve to death on the road later.
For Chen Nuo and the others, this is actually the best way at the moment, because when dragging these refugees forward, it is estimated that everyone will die on the road. The refugee team has been greatly reduced. The total number of people was nearly six or seven hundred, but now it is estimated that they are only five hundred.
So when Chen Nuo and the others really decided to stop and build camps in the bushes and forests around the lake, the refugees had no objection. Because they were basically tired and couldn't walk anymore. After coming to this place with water and fish, many refugees jumped into the water to catch fish, and then directly ate the caught fish.
Hundreds of people leaned under the trees in scattered manner, only Chen Nuo and the others were working hard to cut down the trees and repair the camp. They wanted to drive the refugees, but unfortunately most of the refugees had not recovered. They were already weak during the day, let alone at night.
