The first thousand two hundred and ninety-two chapters lifeline
After listening to Ma Shao's words, Fang Fang nodded and looked at the empty streets further inside the city gate. He was even more convinced that something must have happened to the Windy City! Then he raised his finger and pointed inside the city.
direction.
"Let's go, everyone, be careful and pay attention to your surroundings! This thing is quite strange!"
"yes!"
Everyone received the instructions from Equation.
Then the entire convoy slowly walked into the gate of Windy City, following Fang Fang and Ma Shao who were walking in front.
As soon as they walked into the gate of Fengcheng, everyone felt that this Fengcheng had a familiar feeling! Most of the buildings in Fengcheng were made of yellow soil and bricks. Because the forest area is very small and there is a lack of trees, the whole city looks like
It is like a stone castle, with an exotic desert atmosphere.
Yuan Yue and Xiao Qi poked their heads out of the carriage. They seemed to like the architectural style here. It was very similar to some places in the world they had visited before, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"Why do I suddenly want to eat mutton kebabs when I get here?"
Yuan Yue looked at Xiao Qi and laughed, and after hearing what Yuan Yue said, Xiao Qi also nodded hastily.
"Sister Yue, when you say that, I suddenly want to go back to Haicheng and set up a stall specializing in mutton skewers!"
Xiao Qi's sudden idea even got Yuan Yue's approval.
"Eh?
This is a great idea! Okay, okay, I will sell mutton skewers with you, and we will eat while selling, which not only satisfies ourselves but also benefits everyone!"
The two girls actually studied mutton skewers.
On the other side, Ma Shao, who was walking at the front of the team, frowned more and more as he walked. Why is there not even a single person in this huge city?
Some of the stalls on the roadside were just there, with no time to collect them. What were everyone doing?
The equation was also very strange, but his attention was always on the place where the black smoke was rising into the sky, so he kept moving in that direction.
The convoy was walking, and Ma Shao, who had been wondering why there was no one in the city, suddenly saw an uncle not far ahead who was pulling his cart with all his strength. He had gray hair and must have been very old, but he still tried his best.
He pulled his cart forward.
The figure of the old man looked very awkward in this deserted city.
"Huh?
Uncle Cao, hey, Uncle Cao! Where have all the people in our city gone?
Why is there no one at this busiest time?"
Ma Shao hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward to inquire about the man he called Uncle Cao.
The uncle's ears are obviously not very good. The sound of the convoy with so many people must be very loud, and the city is still so quiet, but the convoy passed behind the uncle without him even looking back. It seems that he has some hearing problems.
!Ma Shao stepped forward and patted Uncle Cao behind him.
"Hey, you scared me!"
The uncle was startled when he saw Ma Shao suddenly appearing in front of him.
Ma Shao also shook his head in embarrassment, waved his hand towards Uncle Cao, and bowed his hands to express his apology.
"I called you very loudly from behind, but you didn't hear me. I'm sorry to scare you!"
Ma Shao spoke as loudly as possible, speaking clearly every word.
Uncle Cao took a closer look and realized he was someone he knew, so he nodded slowly.
It seems that although Uncle Cao has poor hearing, his ability to read lips is still very good. After he saw clearly what Ma Shao said to him, he shook his head helplessly.
"Spoon, didn't you go to Yancheng as an errand?
Why are you back?"
It seems that Uncle Cao and Ma Shao are really familiar with each other.
"Yes, Uncle Cao, I am going to Haicheng as an errand with my new master.
I happened to be passing through Fengcheng. My new owner said something seemed to have happened in Fengcheng. I hurriedly came back to take a look! As soon as I entered the city, I discovered... Where are the people in our city?
Where has everything gone?”
Ma Shao is still the affordable Ma Shao, and he made everything clear without any concealment.
Uncle Cao struggled to understand what Ma Shao said, and looked at the people behind Ma Shao with surprise. His eyes stayed on each person's face for a moment, and then he looked at Ma Shao again.
"Who is your new master?
It’s really amazing, you can tell that something happened in our Fengcheng!”
Uncle Cao sighed with a worried look.
When Fang Fang heard this, he couldn't help but take a step forward and came to the old man.
"Uncle Cao, what happened to our Fengcheng...what happened?
Is...what's wrong with the flint stone?"
He asked directly.
Uncle Cao opened his eyes hard and looked at Equation's lips. When he saw him say the words "fire stone", Uncle Cao's eyes couldn't help but widen.
"It seems...it seems that you are the new owner of the prophet!"
He nodded.
"That's right, there is something wrong with the flint stones that we people in Fengcheng rely on for survival! The mountain in the West Mountain that produces flint stones... is on fire! There are wildfires all over the mountain, and all the flint stones are on fire.
It's burned, and I can't save it..." At this point, Uncle Cao couldn't help but burst into tears.
This Feng City has few resources, and the fire stones can be said to be the lifeblood of the entire city. If all the fire stones are burned out, it will be a nightmare, the biggest nightmare for the people of Feng City! Hearing this, the shock fell silent.
Fang Fang looked at the sad old man and couldn't help but ask.
"Then...did everyone go there to put out the fire?"
Uncle Cao looked at the equation and nodded.
"Yeah, all the capable people went to put out the fire! Even the deaf and old people like me came back to get the trolleys to help carry water and so on! And the old, young, sick and disabled who couldn't help also
We are all watching on the sidelines, with no intention of doing anything else. You must know that if this fire stone is really gone, we...our lifeblood of Fengcheng will be over!"
The more Uncle Cao talked, the more anxious and sad he became. He pulled up his trolley and started walking forward again.
"I won't tell you anymore, I'm leaving first!"
As he spoke, he pulled the car forward.
Ma Shao looked at the scene of Uncle Cao gradually walking away with a sad face, then turned back to look at the equation.
He was at a loss and didn't know what to do. He hoped that Equation could teach him what to do. After all...he had saved the entire Yancheng before.
"Go and help Uncle Cao, let's go together and see what's going on!"
Fang Fang nodded at him, and then pointed in the direction of Uncle Cao in front of him.
"good!"
After hearing what Fang Fang said, Ma Shao immediately ran in the direction of Uncle Cao, took the cart from the uncle, then pulled the cart and walked side by side with Uncle Cao toward the western suburbs.
