Chapter 390 Myth Origin
The morning of the East Sun did not bring the morning sun. The entire sky was covered by dark clouds, and the temperature suddenly dropped a little.
Qin An had never seen such extreme weather before. In his impression, if the temperature was very low, the sky would generally be azure, because there was no temperature and water vapor conditions that formed a large amount of clouds.
This might have something to do with the apocalypse, right? After all, this world was different from before.
They brought 500 people out of the city and headed towards the northwest. Finally, they arrived at the bank of the moat. This was where Green and the others crossed the river. On the opposite side, there was a large tree over two meters in diameter and over a hundred meters in height.
The branches and leaves of this tree were extremely luxuriant. Twenty meters up from the ground, many branches with a diameter of fifty to sixty centimeters were scattered, and there were even more branches scattered on the branches.
What was even more amazing was that there were many football-sized mutated pine fruits on these branches, making it look like a ghost tree in hell.
Yue Zichen was not attracted by the strange tree, but said to Qin An with great emotion, "Boss is really meticulous!" No wonder you let us leave the city with axes, picks and shovels! I just wanted to clean up the battlefield, but I forgot about this tree! Are you trying to destroy this tree? Yes! If we don't destroy it, our moat won't be able to do its job. "
Liu Xia followed Qin An all the time. When she saw the giant tree, she opened her mouth slightly and said, "Why is this tree so big? Look at its roots, it has already filled up this section of the river!"
Qin An smiled and nodded, then said, "Maybe it's some kind of mutation!" I don't know why it's so big, but I know it grew not long ago! In other words, it had never experienced heavy rain, and the trees should still be dry! Now that we are facing a snowstorm, we urgently need firewood to keep warm! I think such a big tree should be enough for us to burn for a while, right? "I just don't know if it will ignite easily after mutation, but I think with your special flame ability, you should be able to burn it and use it for us!"
Liu Xia nodded obediently. She was very happy that her special ability could help.
Yue Zichen was filled with admiration for Qin An! This Little Killer God's mind is really very clever!
Qin An held a machete in his hand. He quickly arrived on the other side of the river. Without any hesitation, he grasped the hilt of the saber with both hands and began to cut down trees!
Although the big trees were huge, the hardness of the wood was not much stronger than that of ordinary trees. Under the support of Qin An's arms, it didn't take much time for the trees to be cut down and then fell to the ground.
Qin An stepped forward to look at the cross-sectional cut of the tree and found that it was not too different from ordinary trees. It was also solid. However, on the section, he could see tiny particles wriggling back and forth, as if they were alive.
This big tree is alive?
Qin An was stunned for a moment before shaking his head indifferently. He raised his hand and used a machete to cut off a piece of wood the size of a palm in the trunk fracture, allowing Liu Xia to ignite it with flame power and put it on the ground.
Yue Zichen and the others were first shocked by Liu Xia's ability to summon flames, and then they were shocked by the burning wood on the ground!
Everyone, including Qin An and Liu Xia, did not expect that this piece of wood would burn very easily. Moreover, it burned very slowly. A small piece of wood burned for more than ten minutes, yet they could not see the momentum to extinguish it!
At the same time, the heat it emitted was also very strong. A dozen meters away, it could feel a little warmth from the flames it burned.
Qin An was overjoyed after seeing this! Haha, this is simply the best gift the enemy has given to the refugees in the western city of Ruyan City!
Qin An's mood suddenly became better. He began to instruct everyone to use the axe and knife in their hands to cut off all the branches on the tree one by one.
Five hundred people attacked together, and it took half an hour to complete the work. And the branches of the trees that were cut had actually been cut into a small hill!
Qin An was even happier when he saw this. He shouted at Yue Zichen and the others, "Alright!" Everyone, split up three hundred people and follow me to carry this tree back to Smoke City! Another hundred people found tools to carry these tree branches! The other hundred will stay behind and use the tools in your hands to dig three feet on the other side of the river to dig out the roots of the tree! The tree trunk is so tall, I guess its roots can't be small anymore! I'll send someone to help you later. There are two things you have to be careful about. First, when dealing with the roots of the trees in the river, don't get bitten by the piranhas on both sides. These fish are very vigorous. They are still so active in such a cold day! The second is to send some people to defend the trench. I estimate that the enemy will come back! It's impossible for them to send thousands of people over for free and then die without a follow-up! "
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. They discovered that this little god of slaughter was actually so approachable and humorous when he didn't kill anyone!
This was a wonderful feeling. In the first half of the night, these people belonged to the soldiers of the thirteen forces. They had clashed with Qin An, but now, they were doing something together like colleagues with good relations.
Actually, this kind of thing was very normal. There were no absolute interest groups in the apocalypse. There were only selfish people.
In order to survive, in order to live well, there is no need for people to stick to the so-called faith of loyalty. For most people, having milk is the right way!
After receiving Qin An's orders, everyone began to split up.
Qin An and three hundred people carried the giant tree happily in the direction of the western city of Smoke City. Finally, there was wood to keep warm. Now, they were no longer afraid that people would freeze to death!
Qin An walked at the bottom of the fracture interface with a smile on his face. Although he was small, and although he was very tired, his hands gathered the strength of the tree above his head, but it was still comparable to the strength of twenty to thirty ordinary people!
Liu Xia was happy because of Qin An's smile, but she did not dare to get too close to Qin An. She could only look at Qin An's back five to six meters away from Qin An. Her little butt twisted and twisted as she walked. It was simply filled with joy, causing Liu Xia to smile endlessly.
Qin An asked Liu Xia what she was laughing at, but Liu Xia just smiled and did not answer.
The atmosphere instantly became warm, as if they had already lit countless bonfires beside them.
In the west of Smoke City, there were already many people gathered in the open space near the temporary city lord's office building, and even more people poured in from all directions.
People's clothes were frozen and they wore icy cold clothes that pierced the bones, but they had no choice, because the conditions were so difficult.
This night, everyone's heartforce was haggard.
After experiencing the heavy rain at night, the riots at night, the heavy snow that crushed the houses in the second half of the night, and the current cold, most people lost the desire and courage to continue living. They stood on the cold snow like walking corpses without souls.
However, what surprised them was that just as they were about to face the reality and accept the summons of death, someone suddenly came to organize them to move in the same direction.
Some of the poor people who still hoped to survive would ask what they were going to do.
One of the organizers, a man in his thirties with a beard, said, "Lord Doomsday Spirit Child wants to save the people and water! Don't ask so many questions. If you don't want to freeze to death, hurry up and run! Run and rub your hands as you run!"
He almost roared out these words. Everyone in the surroundings could hear them. Most of them did not have much thought in their hearts. The bone-chilling coldness made their hearts numb.
The bearded man saw an old man lying in a collapsed tent. He walked 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? Does anyone care?"
After asking several times, no one answered.
The bearded man frowned. Then, he pulled a young man over and said to him, "Take this old man with you! Lord Doomsday Spirit Child will save all life! He said that no one can freeze to death! Don't worry, there will be a big bowl of hot porridge to drink later!"
When the young man heard that there was hot porridge, he hurriedly carried the old man on his back, and then nodded and bowed in gratitude to the bearded man.
You can't let a person freeze to death?
These words were familiar and unfamiliar!
Before the apocalypse, it seemed to be common to hear on television that disasters such as earthquakes, floods or fires often occurred in a certain area, as the government said.
But in the apocalypse, who would care about the lives of others?
After being stunned for a while, the hearts of the crowd slowly lifted. Could it be that the apocalyptic spirit child that had been passed down all night was really here to save the people from the Sea of Misery?
Everyone's movements became more flexible as they supported each other and began to gather towards the temporary office building Wang Han had built.
At this time, Yin Hanchao was very busy. According to Qin An's instructions, he sent people to find a lot of big pots and mixed some rice and grains to prepare porridge.
After many large pots were collected, Yin Hanchao ordered to start cleaning up the snow on the ground.
If there was a way to ignite the firewood later, Yin Hanchao planned to use this snow to cook porridge!
Even though they were close to the sea, ordinary humans had not evolved to the point where they could drink seawater.
Normally, people relied on salt fish to get fresh water. However, this kind of fresh water was limited and could barely be used for drinking. It was very unrealistic to bring large quantities of boiled water to cook porridge.
While doing this, Yin Hanchao also gathered some young and sturdy young men to collect and tidy up the building materials of the shanty houses that had been crushed by the heavy snow. He had already started to think about the reconstruction of the city. It had to be said that Yin Hanchao was really a talented person.
Everyone was busy for a long time. When the legendary apocalyptic spirit child brought people over and brought over a huge tree, everyone was stunned.
Finally, some disciples of the apocalyptic spirit children began to cry and kneel on the ground to pay their respects. One of them, a weak man with broken eyes, shouted loudly, "God bless us! The apocalyptic spirit children gathered a strange tree and burned it to solve the bitter cold suffering of us mortals! This is truly great kindness! It is a fairy tale that can be compiled into books and passed down to the followers of future generations!"
