Chapter 0390 The Origin of Myth
The early morning of the eastern day did not bring the rising sun. The entire sky was covered by dark clouds, and the temperature suddenly dropped a bit.
Qin An has never seen such extreme weather. In his impression, if the temperature is very low, the sky is usually blue because there is no temperature and water vapor conditions to form a large number of clouds.
Maybe this has something to do with the end of the world? After all, the world is different from before.
He led 500 people out of the city and headed diagonally to the northwest. The final place they arrived at was the bank of the moat. This was where Green and the others crossed the river. On the opposite side, there was a large tree with a diameter of more than two meters and a height of more than 100 meters. The tree stands.
This tree has extremely luxuriant branches and leaves. Twenty meters upward from the ground, many branches with a diameter of fifty or sixty centimeters are scattered, and there are more branches scattered on the branches.
What's even more amazing is that there are many football-sized mutant pine fruits on these branches, making it look like a man-eating ghost tree in hell.
Yue Zichen was not attracted by the strange big tree, but said with emotion to Qin An: "Boss is so attentive! No wonder you let us bring axes, pickaxes and shovels out of the city! I just wanted to clean the battlefield, so I Forgot about this tree! Do you want to destroy this big tree? Yes! If we don’t destroy it, our moat will not be able to function as it should."
Liu Xia had been following Qin An. When she saw the giant tree, she slightly opened her mouth and said, "Why is this tree so big? Look at its roots, which have already filled this section of the river!"
Qin An smiled and nodded, and then said: "Maybe it's some kind of mutation! I don't know why it can grow so judà, but I know that it just grew up not long ago! In other words, it has not experienced heavy rain. , the trees should still be dry! Now we are facing a snowstorm, and we are in urgent need of firewood to keep warm! I think such a big tree should be enough for us to burn for a while? But I don’t know whether it will be easily ignited after mutating, But I think with the special ability of your flame, you should be able to burn it and then use it for us!"
Liu Xia nodded obediently, glad that his special ability could help.
And Yue Zichen admires Qin An full of it! This little murderer’s mind is really smart!
Qin An held a machete in his hand. He quickly reached the other side of the river without any trouble, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and began to chop down the tree!
Although the tree is judà, the hardness of the wood is not much stronger than that of ordinary trees. With the support of Qin An's arms weighing several kilograms, it didn't take long for the trees to be cut down and then dumped on the ground.
Qin An stepped forward to take a look at the cross-section of the tree, and found that the inside was not much different from ordinary trees, and was also solid. However, on the cut surface, tiny particles could be seen squirming back and forth, as if they were Living in general.
Is this big tree alive?
After Qin An was stunned for a while, he shook his head indifferently, raised his hand and used a machete to cut off a palm-sized piece of wood from the break of the tree trunk, and asked Liu Xia to use his flame ability to ignite it and place it on the ground.
Yue Zichen and others were first shocked by Liu Xia's ability to summon flames, and then were shocked by the burning wood on the ground!
Everyone, including Qin An and Liu Xia, did not expect that this piece of wood was extremely easy to burn, and it burned very slowly. A small piece of wood burned for more than ten minutes and still showed no signs of extinguishing!
At the same time, the heat it emits is also very strong, and a place more than ten meters away can feel a little bit of warmth due to its burning flame.
Qin An was overjoyed after seeing it! Haha, this is simply the best gift the enemy has ever given to the refugees in Ruyan City and West City!
His mood suddenly improved, and Qin An began to order everyone to use the axes and choppers in their hands to cut off all the branches on the big tree one by one.
Five hundred people worked together, and it took half an hour to complete the work, and the cut tree branches had turned into a small mountain!
Qin An was even more happy after seeing it. He shouted to Yue Zichen and the others: "Okay! Let's all come together, divide 300 people, and follow me to carry the trunk of this big tree back to Ruyan City! Another 100 people are looking for it Use tools to carry these tree branches! Another hundred people stay and use the tools in your hands to dig three feet into the ground on the other side and dig out the roots of the big tree! The trunk is so tall, I guess its roots cannot be smaller! Wait. I will send someone to help you soon. You have to be careful about two things. The first is not to get bitten by the piranhas on both sides when dealing with tree roots in the river. These fish have very strong vitality. It’s such a cold day. That's still true! The second is to detach some people to defend in the trenches. I guess the enemy will come back! They can't get thousands of people to die for free and then nothing happens!"
Everyone laughed after hearing this. They found that this little murderer was so approachable and humorous when he was not killing people!
This is a wonderful feeling. In the middle of the night, these people were still soldiers of the Thirteen Forces and had conflicts with Qin An, but now they are doing something together like colleagues with a good relationship.
In fact, this kind of thing is normal. There are no juédui interest groups in the apocalypse, only selfish people.
In order to survive and live well, people do not need to stick to the so-called loyal beliefs. For most people, the right way is to have breasts and be a mother!
After receiving Qin An's order, everyone began to act separately.
Qin An and three hundred people carried the giant tree happily towards the west side of Ruyan City. They finally had wood for heating, and now they no longer had to worry about people freezing to death!
Qin An walked with a smile on his face at the bottom of the fracture interface where he finally lifted the big tree. Although he was smaller and even though he was very tired at this time, the strength of lifting the tree with his hands above his head was still comparable to that of twenty or thirty ordinary people. The power of people!
Liu Xia was happy because of Qin An's smile, but she didn't dare to get too close to Qin An. She could only look at Qin An's back in front of her five or six meters away. The feeling of joy made Liu Xia smile endlessly.
Qin An shouted in confusion and asked Liu Xia why he was laughing, but Liu Xia just laughed and did not answer.
The atmosphere suddenly became full of warmth, as if they had lit countless bonfires around them.
In the west of Ruyan City, many people have gathered in the open space near the temporary city main office building, and more people are coming from all directions.
People's clothes were frozen and it was freezing cold, but they had no choice because the conditions were so difficult.
That night, everyone was exhausted.
After experiencing the heavy rain at night, the riots in the middle of the night, the heavy snow that collapsed the house in the second half of the night, and the cold at this time, all kinds of hardships made most people lose the courage and courage to continue to survive. Standing on the cold snow, he was like a walking corpse that had lost its soul.
However, what surprised them was that just when they were ready to face reality and accept the call of death, someone suddenly came to organize them to move in the same direction.
Some poor people who still hope to live a good life will ask what they are going to do.
One of the organizers, a bearded man in his thirties, said: "The soul boy of the apocalypse wants to save the people from fire and water! Don't ask so many questions. If you don't want to freeze to death, just leave quickly! Let's all run, and rub our hands while running!" "
He almost yelled this sentence, and everyone around him could hear it. Most people didn't have many thoughts in their hearts, and the bone-chilling cold made people's hearts numb.
The bearded man saw an old man lying in the collapsed tent. He stepped forward and pulled the old man out. He touched his nose and found that he was still alive. Then he said, "Whose old man is this? Do you have any children?" ?Is there anyone in charge?"
I asked several times, but no one answered.
The bearded man frowned, then pulled a young man next to him and said to him: "Take this old man with you! The soul boy of the end of the world will save all living beings! He said that no more people can freeze to death! Don't worry, in a while There’s a big bowl of hot porridge to drink!”
When the young man heard that there was hot porridge, he hurriedly carried the old man on his back, and then nodded and bowed to the bearded man in thanks.
Can't you let someone freeze to death?
This kind of words is familiar yet strange!
Before the end of the world, you would often hear and see in TV reports that disasters such as earthquakes, floods or fires would occur in a certain area, and the government would say so.
But in the end of the world, who will care about the life and death of others?
After people were stunned for a while, their hearts gradually became brighter. Could it be that the apocalyptic soul boy who had been rumored all night really came to save people from the sea of suffering?
Everyone's movements became more flexible, supporting each other, and began to gather towards the temporary office building for the city lord built by Wang Han.
Yin Hanchao was very busy at this time. According to Qin An's instructions, he sent people to find many large pots and prepared some rice and grains to prepare porridge.
When many large pots were collected, Yin Hanchao ordered the snow on the ground to be cleared.
If there is a way to ignite firewood later, Yin Hanchao plans to use the snow to cook porridge!
Although it is close to the sea, ordinary humans have not evolved to the point where they can drink sea water.
People usually rely on those salt fish to obtain fresh water. However, this fresh water resource is limited and can barely supply people for drinking. It is unrealistic to use large quantities of water to cook porridge.
While doing these things, Yin Hanchao also found some young and physically fit young men to collect and sort out the shanty building materials that had been crushed by the heavy snow. He has already begun to think about the reconstruction of the city. It must be said that the fat man Yin Hanchao is really a talented person.
Everyone was busy for a long time. When the legendary apocalyptic soul boy led people to carry a super judà tree, everyone was shocked.
Finally, some believers of the Doomsday Soul Boy began to cry and kneel down to worship. Among them, a frail man with a broken eye shouted loudly: "God bless us! The Doomsday Soul Boy collected a strange tree and burned it to solve our problem." These mortals suffer from the severe cold! This is really a great kindness, and it is a myth that can be compiled into books and passed down to future generations of believers!"
