When the operating cabin was violently dismantled and he saw the blood inside, Jiang Hui was shocked.
She had thought of many possibilities, but she had never thought of this one. Unlike the person next to her whose legs went weak and she howled subconsciously, her first reaction was to be stunned and feel it was unreal.
Going back to more than an hour ago, Jiang Hui smelled a sour odor at the base, but couldn't find it anywhere.
She didn't dare stay in the tent for fear of being suffocated to death, nor did she dare stand outside in the wilderness. It was pitch black and a wild beast might suddenly appear from behind and carry her away silently.
It's a situation where you can neither advance nor retreat.
The sour smell in the air became stronger and stronger. Even in such an open environment, one could still feel the concentration of the smell increasing and spreading.
Jiang Hui felt uneasy instinctively, as if she sensed something disturbing was happening nearby, and she felt a thin layer of cold sweat covering her back.
When will the school staff come to rescue her? If Jiang Hui regretted not following them shamelessly just now, she regretted it now - because this was completely different from what the other party had agreed.
And even if the school couldn't find her, the instructor couldn't have forgotten to check on her. This place was actually very close to the terminal, and we should have arrived by now.
She endured the unpleasant smell and returned to the relatively bright temporary tent, where she rummaged through the contents of her bag.
This bag is relatively primitive, and still retains some things that are somewhat inconsistent with the current technological age, such as bedding, heavy metal kettles that can only be used for decoration, raincoats and other things that take up half of the bag's space. However, these things are actually of no use to them on the journey, and are more like some kind of historical decorations.
The remaining half of the space was filled with things they could actually use, such as the temporary tent that had been dismantled, compressed food packs, medical packs, a small bag with miscellaneous tools, and a bundle of long ropes. Jiang Hui pulled at it and found it was quite elastic and hard, but she couldn't find what she was looking for.
Jiang Hui really felt that the package was set up very unreasonably. Didn't the school think that they might get lost? Why weren't there searchlights and flares
The school was confident that it could monitor every corner. But judging from her current situation, it didn't seem like the school could monitor every detail... After all, it had been dark for so long and she had been left in the wilderness for so long. If she was taken away by a wild animal under unknown circumstances, then Beskar Intermediate College would probably not be able to continue operating.
Jiang Hui felt that the current situation was very unusual, but he didn't dare to act rashly and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, this day didn't seem to make her wait for long—
The sour smell in the air did not dissipate, but the restless atmosphere in the air just now dissipated a lot. The creepy sense of crisis that Jiang Hui instinctively felt also dissipated a lot, just very suddenly, making people a little confused.
What on earth happened without any beginning or end
Rustle-
The sound was not loud. At first it seemed small and fragmented, as if something was crawling on the ground and moving constantly.
Then Jiang Hui, who was waiting, became highly alert instantly, because this was the first time that an abnormal sound was heard, including the sour smell that came from nowhere and some natural sounds from the wilderness.
The only creatures that can produce such strange noises are conscious and active creatures.
—Something was approaching her.
This is the primary signal that Jiang Hui interpreted.
She instinctively held her breath, concentrated her attention, and carefully released a few strands of her mental energy to explore the surroundings in an orderly manner, holding the sharp side of the trekking pole in her hand.
No one noticed that in the pitch-black night, Jiang Hui's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of faint light, which flashed by and was extremely conspicuous in the night.
It was getting closer—heading in her direction.
Jiang Hui held the serrated edge of his trekking pole tightly and raised it slightly, preparing to hit the newcomer, but heard someone's voice: "...Help..."
“…save…us…”
Jiang Hui: ? She heard it right, this was a human voice, and the figure seemed to be a human as well.
But she didn't relax immediately.
Because her nose was not broken, she could clearly smell the strong sour smell coming from this dark thing that she didn't know whether it was a human, and it was the same source as the sour smell she had smelled all night. Especially if it came directly from the scene of the incident...
The other party murmured and shouted twice, "Help!"
Jiang Hui, who was sure it was a human, observed it and finally couldn't help but pull its messy hair. But when she touched it, her hand felt a little wet, with a frightening cold and slippery feeling, which made her subconsciously retract her hand.
Then he asked the other party to hold it tightly. However, the place where the skin touched was obviously warm, with the temperature of a living person, and he could even clearly feel a little pulse beating.
"You..." Jiang Hui tentatively shook her hand, and found that the other party was holding it tighter and tighter. She said helplessly: "Classmate, why don't you let go of my hand first. You have to tell me how you want me to help you, and I can't do anything if you hold me like this."
The other party seemed to relax after hearing this, and she quickly tried to free her hand. Unexpectedly, her ankle was grabbed by the other party's other hand.
Jiang Hui: …
Now she was sure that it was not a deceptive humanoid monster or a scam.
There is no monster that is so stupid as to intentionally deceive people, and there is no scam that starts like this.
Considering that one of his hands and one of his legs were "blocked", Jiang Hui simply stepped back a little, then half-knelt down and directly pulled apart the other person's tangled hair.
A completely unfamiliar face, but obviously human, and most importantly, the other person was wearing their school's training uniform.
Seeing the light, Duofang half-opened her eyes "weakly" and stared at Jiang Hui, which made her say a little unnaturally: "Classmate, are you also a new student in this training? What happened to you? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Of course, there were some things she couldn't really help with, after all, she was helpless now.
“Help… Teach…” The second half of the other party’s speech seemed a little vague. Jiang Hui had to listen to it word by word, but it was still a little vague and unclear. In addition, the other party’s breath was getting weaker and weaker, and it seemed that he was about to faint.
Jiang Hui had no choice but to frown and ask again, "What's wrong with you?" She raised her voice deliberately, fearing that the other party would not be able to answer clearly.
“Eat...quickly..." Never mind, I'd better wait until I have enough strength before I eat. I'm starving.
