After distinguishing among the bushes for a long time, Liu Chang finally found the scorched half of the worm's body among the charred branches. The powerful force of the rocket had already blown its hard body into two pieces, and the remaining flames also evaporated and burned. It drained a lot of juice in its body, and also made the already pus-yellow slurry even more viscous.
"The worm looks like it's dead, but I'm not going to confirm whether it's dead or not." Liu Chang stared at the worm corpse hanging on the tree for a long time before saying to everyone: "After all, there is a saying called What's the matter, centipede..."
"Dead but not stiff." Li Qingshui also got up from the ground, and wiped away the nosebleeds from the shock, "Fortunately, the number of shrapnel shot here by the aftermath is small, otherwise I would really have died here."
"You escaped, but he seems to be dying."
A soldier who got up pointed to the wounded man that Li Qingshui was carrying on his back on the ground - that man was seriously injured in the first place, and with the baptism of such a cannonball, he was completely dead now.
Seeing this scene, Liu Chang immediately thought of the little girl who was also seriously injured. In a blink of an eye, he searched on the ground, and he saw the figure of the fat man on the ground.
At this time, the fat man's back was torn apart by the force of the rocket, half of the hair on the back of his head was missing, and he looked seriously injured, and the little girl on his back disappeared.
"Fatty, fat..." Seeing such a scene, Liu Chang hurriedly pushed his lying companion, and asked with concern, "Are you okay, where is Xiaojing? You carried her behind your back before."
"Well." Pushed by Liu Chang, the fat man uttered a scream like a whisper, and slowly lifted his body from the ground, revealing the little girl protected under his not-so-obese body, "She's fine, we It's pressing, but I'm going to die of pain."
The fat man sat up from the ground, leaned back with his hands vigorously, and touched the wound on his back, "I guess I was blown into a concussion, my brain kept buzzing, and my ears were ringing all the time! If the gunner shoots the shell again Shoot closer, I don't know if the monster is dead or not, we must all die."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know the target was so close." Seeing his own rocket go down, all the companions around him were injured by himself, and the soldier who fired the rocket launcher before also showed an embarrassed look.
"It's okay. It's lucky that you were able to blow up that bug with one shot, otherwise we wouldn't be able to deal with it." Shen Mingyi got up from the ground, except for two or three pieces of shrapnel inside his solid body. There are no wounds, and the injuries appear to be minor.
"It's good to be strong!" The fat man stood up from the ground, and patted Shen Mingyi's chest vigorously. "I should have let you fight that bug one-on-one just now, so that we all don't have to get hurt!"
"I'll fight it one-on-one? Hehe, then I must die a miserable death!" Shen Mingyi followed the fat man's words and made a joke with a silly smile.
After everyone experienced this turmoil, they suffered another casualty. But no matter how hurt and painful they were, they didn't dare to waste too much travel time here. After just rectifying on the spot for five minutes, everyone started to move forward again.
Now there are only nine left.
Walking on the jungle road, everyone was seriously injured, and everyone was wondering whether they would be the next to die. Halfway through the journey, most of them were dead or injured. This made them wonder about the future journey. Feeling infinite fear and confusion, everyone began to doubt whether the team could make it to the end.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, it's actually a good thing we met that bug just now!" Li Qingshui led the way in front and cheered up the team behind.
"It's a good thing, a seriously injured person died, and we can speed up our pace." Someone in the team sarcastically said—obviously, people in fear always habitually attack everything around them, as cowardly as a wounded hedgehog and reckless.
"Hehe, I don't mean this." Li Qingshui didn't take the soldier's attitude seriously, and continued to explain: "I mean the smell, don't you feel that after meeting that bug, the bloody smell on our bodies was covered by the bug? Is the strong bitter smell like 'traditional Chinese medicine' covered up?"
"so what?"
"There are many benefits! First of all, covering up the smell of blood can reduce us a lot of danger; secondly, even in this jungle, the big bug looks like a top predator. Top predators are always in the forest. It has a certain deterrent effect, if we are contaminated with its smell..." Li Qingshui said with a smile: "Then the sense of oppression we bring to other animals will be much stronger, which is equivalent to adding an invisible umbrella for us .”
"Is there another theory?" Holding the little girl in his arms, Liu Chang smelled the smell on his cuffs, "I would have known that I had rubbed against that guy just now, and I was so immortal!"
"Fuck, you're making a good joke, it's so cold that my back hurts." Fatty was cooperating with Liu Chang's joke while stroking the wound on his back, hoping to relieve the pressure caused by fear and pain.
Just like that, a group of nine people supported each other, teased and supported each other, and walked all the way until it was dark without encountering any danger again. I don't know if it was good luck, or the worm really had pressure. Anyway, it was getting dark, and the nine of them finally approached the end of their journey—Zhengzhou.
"Everyone, work harder, we're almost there!" Looking up at the sky, Li Qingshui accelerated the pace of the journey again while calculating the distance.
Seeing that the dawn was right in front of them, everyone cheered up their exhausted spirits, and walked quickly through the jungle one by one with the wind blowing under their feet. And half an hour later, the sky was getting darker and darker. As everyone's visibility decreased sharply and their footsteps became faster, Liu Chang felt the danger again.
That familiar "rustling" sound.
He just heard the same "rustling" sound a few hours ago. It was the sound of millipede millipedes walking on the grass and leaves. Liu Chang still remembers it vividly.
"There's another bug, the same kind. This time there's more than one!"
"Fuck me, do you think we are companions?" Hearing Liu Chang's words, some soldiers in the team immediately dropped their guns and rushed all the way to the end of Zheng Kai's avenue—a beast like the one just now If it weren't for everyone's good luck to hit the bug, their team might be wiped out by it. But now several such bugs attacked together, and the end was in sight. Under the pressure of huge temptation and multiple times of fear, everyone lost their fighting spirit in an instant.
All the people - including Liu Chang, Shen Mingyi and Li Qingshui, all ran wildly at this moment, the little girl also nestled in Liu Chang's arms, and was bumped into the dense jungle by him.
And when all these people exerted their strength once, the gap immediately became apparent.
Shen Ming took the lead, running much faster than everyone else, bouncing and bouncing in the jungle, like a clever monkey, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Followed by Liu Chang, his superior physical strength and innate field of vision allowed him to avoid obstacles in the forest ahead of time. Although he was carrying a little girl, his running was not much slower than Shen Mingyi.
And it was Li Qingshui who followed Liu Chang on the third step of escape. As a guy whose physical strength is not as good as those elite soldiers, he runs far ahead of those people. Every step under his feet seems to have been carefully calculated. In the forest full of slippery fungus turf and all kinds of plant roots, it is very difficult to get out of the forest. Every time he steps out, he can step into the gap between the forests. The position where it is easiest to exert force, and although his vision is not wide, he seems to be able to avoid the obstacles in the forest in the first time as if he has installed a sensor, as if this escape route has been practiced countless times by him Same, run naturally.
