Everyone is running for their lives, or in other words, everyone knows that if they run slowly, they will die.
But even though everyone was running with all their strength, even Liu Chang, who was running on the second step of the team, could not completely shake off the "rustling" sound.
Those bugs were very fast, and although their bodies were fat, it did not affect their swiftness in the slightest. Liu Chang was panting heavily while running, but when he looked up, he could still see the swaying branches and leaves above his head and the colorful flowers hidden in the branches and leaves. color.
"Run separately, run separately!" Although Li Qingshui does not have Liu Chang's strength, his strong ability to capture details is enough to make him notice the danger above his head. He shouted while running: "Everyone run separately, surrounded by bugs!" If we live in a huddle, none of us can escape."
"But..." As soon as Liu Chang said that, a giant worm's body hung down from the tree in front of him. Half of the worm's body was hanging from the tree and half of it was suspended in the air. It was hanging down and facing Liu Chang with its sharp mouthparts. And immediately spit out that strange liquid enough to blind people from the terrible mouthparts.
"Fuck!" Seeing this situation, Liu Chang didn't hesitate any more, dodged the venom, turned his head and burrowed into the denser jungle beside him.
Because it is very close to Zhengzhou now, Liu Chang, who got into the forest, is not worried about getting lost. As long as the general direction is correct, it is impossible not to get out. Drilling into the dense forest, he carried the little girl to run, jump, and move in the dense forest, trying to choose bushes that were difficult for giant insects to pass through—those low bushes were not as strong as tall trees. The branches can't bear the huge weight of the insects, and they grow more densely than other plants. It is difficult for the insects to move in it because of their size.
And Liu Chang just walked through the bushes consciously, and gradually got rid of the "millipede" millipede that was faster than him.
Until the rustling sound gradually faded away, Liu Chang did not dare to slow down his escape pace at all. He hugged the little girl all the way, and ran towards the east, which represented Zhengzhou, without slowing down.
From west to east—the 80-kilometer Zhengkai Avenue finally reached the end in his last gasp.
As he ran, the jungle trees around him gradually thinned out, tall trees and fungi all over the ground disappeared, and the flora gradually changed from a tropical rainforest-like three-dimensional plant layer to a single weed and shrub. hybrid. After Liu Chang ran at full speed for another 20 minutes, the already sparse flora became sparse again—he finally plunged out of the jungle and saw the bright world outside.
The scene in front of him was no longer an endless variety of plants, but a highway and a collapsed overpass, and not far to his left was the trace of the end of Zhengkai Avenue.
Walking towards the end of the avenue, standing under the iron sign saying "Zhengzhou people welcome you", Liu Chang looked at the surrounding environment which was no longer green and the man-made traces on the ground in the distance which had not been completely destroyed. There is a feeling like a world away.
On this journey, from "the people of Kaifeng welcome you" to "the people of Zhengzhou welcome you", he has lost count of the hardships and tribulations he has experienced. He only knew that this distance, which used to be only an hour's drive, had now turned into an arduous journey like a long march. More than 20 people along the way almost died, and the living people were already scarred.
Panting in place for two minutes, Liu Chang suppressed the sigh in his heart, and searched for traces of other people around him—and five minutes later, he also found Shen Mingyi who was also looking for other people in the same place on the other side of the road.
"Shen Mingyi." Seeing his lost companion from a distance, Liu Chang hurriedly called.
"You came out!" Standing on the other side of the end of Zhengkai Avenue, Shen Mingyi also showed a look of surprise. Previously, because the two escaped in different directions, they came out in different places, so they didn't meet together as soon as they came out.
"Yeah, I ran out." Seeing Shen Mingyi here, Liu Chang hugged the little girl tightly, and sat down on the ground somewhat dejectedly. "It's not easy, have you seen anyone else?"
"No, I've been out for seven or eight minutes, and I only saw you two coming out." Shen Mingyi lowered his head a little ashamedly while talking, "I'm sorry, but as a soldier, I should protect you to complete the task. I did it for myself, but I ran away first.”
"Hehe, what protection are you talking about? In the situation just now, who can protect other people? Whoever runs slower will die. Can you still think about the issue of 'soldier's honor' in this environment? It seems to be very noble." Liu Chang patted Shen Mingyi on the shoulder, forced a smile and said, "Don't think about such things, it's too brain-intensive, let Li Qingshui do the brain-intensive things Alright, let's look for traces of other people in this area."
"Everyone's escape routes were different before, and it was not easy to find. But if the direction is good, they should all get out of the forest from this area. Let's look carefully and don't get separated from others."
"Okay." Shen Ming nodded, "Then we'll look separately. Every ten minutes, we'll meet up here under 'Welcome to Zhengzhou'. What do you think?"
"Success." Liu Chang also nodded, stood up with the little girl in his arms, and separated from Shen Ming to find his companion.
Ten minutes later, he found Li Qingshui who ran out. Twenty minutes later, Shen Mingyi also brought a soldier over. After finding this soldier, he searched for another forty minutes without encountering any other runners. people who come out.
"Fatty will be fine, right? I've searched for this several times, but I can't find anyone." Going back to the bottom of "Welcome to Zhengzhou", Liu Chang looked at the other three people who were still alive, showing a worried look.
"I don't know, the situation was too chaotic just now, and I don't know what happened behind the team." Li Qingshui shook his head - no one was too busy to take care of the chaotic situation just now, even he couldn't notice other people's attention Condition.
"I was running slowly at the time, and I seemed to hear a few screams from behind, but I don't know if there is that fat man." The soldier who came out last had fear in his eyes, "I didn't dare to look back at the time, so I just kept going. I kept running, I didn't dare to think about anything, and I didn't dare to look back, so..."
When the soldier said this, his voice gradually became low.
"Well, although it doesn't sound very good, to be honest, the possibility of other people dying is very high!" Upon hearing this, Shen Ming sighed, "There are twenty-seven of us, and maybe we are the only ones who die now." Five, and as for the people in the woods... well, I think... I don't think they can get out."
"I definitely can't get out. The remaining part of the road is not far away. It's been an hour now, and it's impossible to get out!" The soldier who finally ran out looked at the dim red mist around him and said: " Let's not wait for them, it's completely dark now, let's find a place to stay first. Although the edge of the big city is not as dangerous as the jungle, it's night after all, and it's still not a place for people to stay."
"Let's go." Shen Mingyi also stepped forward to pull Liu Chang, agreeing with the soldiers.
"Actually, I was thinking..." Liu Chang stood where he was, ignoring Shen Mingyi who pulled him, and was not moved by the soldier's words. He looked at Li Qingshui and said slowly: "Actually, I was thinking, should we Go back and have a look. Although the possibility of Fatty’s death is very high, I’m still not at ease if I don’t look at it.”
"Hehe, I think so too." Hearing what he said, Li Qingshui nodded with a smile.
"Eh? Agreed so easily? Is this different from what I thought?" Hearing that Li Qingshui accepted his proposal without hesitation, Liu Chang showed a look of surprise. You should not do unpleasant things! Because if you think about it a little bit, you will know that my proposal is actually very stupid."
"But there are some things that you don't need to use your brain to think about." Li Qingshui clenched his fist and reached out to Liu Chang's chest, "Do you think I will give up my companion?"
"It's true." Liu Chang also stretched out his fist, and lightly touched the face of Li Qingshui's fist.
