Chapter 274: Returning Home
The Niki thanked me for "lifting the curse" for them, and brought us some of their own food, and to be honest, I didn't know what it was made of until the end, but it felt like a simple bread made from the rhizomes of some kind of plant mixed with some wheat flour......
But it tastes pretty good, and of course, it may have something to do with the fact that I haven't eaten fresh whole grains for a long time.
Early the next morning, Moon Ling and I followed Nicotine and ten other Niki people on a raft through the hills to the beach.
Moon Ling and I are now fully armed, wearing body armor and helmets, each armed with cold weapons and firearms for melee combat, I am a nail gun, and Moon is a Type 92 pistol brought from their Ocean Park stronghold.
Each of those Niki people carried a bamboo basket full of tree spears, and I handed over the tactical folding knife that Duan Xiaoxiao had carried before to Nicotine.
Nicotine probably thought that I was still worried about the safety of the raft, and showed me in the shallow sea in advance how to ride the raft, and it was so skillful that it felt as if they were one with the raft, but the only tool they had to control the raft was a large flat oar made of wood......
Without further ado, since the raft was safe, Yue Ling and I quickly got on the raft.
Nicotine told me to sit in the middle with the Luna Spirit, and the other Niki surrounded us so that they could protect us even if a strong wave hit and the Luna Spirit and I were off balance.
Soon the raft began to move towards the depths of the sea.
I don't know how these Niki people know where to go, but it feels like they have satellite navigation in their bodies, and after nearly an hour of drifting all the way to the sea, I actually saw the outline of our island again.
Along with our small island, there was another island, the same miniature island we had been to where we had encountered Komodo Super Dragons for the first time.
I hurriedly pointed out the direction to Nicotine and told him not to stumble on the miniature island, although I also had the heart to go to the miniature island to see what was going on, but I am afraid I don't have the time to do it now.
Nicotine nodded in understanding.
I told Nicotine and ten of his other tribesmen to tell me that when we arrived on the island, everything would be at my command, and that they would all follow me at first, until we had confirmed that the island was safe before we could begin a formal search.
I looked at the outline of the island from afar, and thought to myself, it's been almost a month, and the situation on the island should have stabilized, right?
As far as I know, the mad animals kill each other, and according to this logic, there should be very few animals left on the island. As for the Salvation Army people, they are either evacuated or die on the island, let alone worry.
The only thing I have to hope now is that Dawn will survive this great riot, and he is so clever and good at running, it cannot be said that this is completely impossible.
And then there are Liu Yong and Niu Zhuang, although I don't like these two guys very much, but they are also my old classmates, and we are also born and died together, if they can live, I am naturally very happy. And my intuition is very strong, these two people's lives don't seem to be ordinary, maybe they really want to live!
Gradually getting closer to the island......
I saw that Moon Spirit's eyes were getting wider and wider.
I cautiously asked her, "How's it going?"
Yue Ling's brows twisted into a pimple, and she also glanced at me: "Xiao Chen...... There was ......"
"Feelings?"
"Hmm......" Yue Ling nodded, "There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity...... It's like...... I felt the same way when I saw you!"
"That's right!" I encouraged her, "When you get to the island later, try to find out how you used to feel!"
Moon Ling nodded.
Nicotine visibly thought our conversation was a little weird, and frowned at me and Moon Ling.
I told Nicotine not to be distracted, although the wind and waves have come all the way, but when we come to the shore, we must be refreshed, if the raft is turned over in this place, Moon Spirit and I can still swim to the shore, but we will definitely not be able to spare the strength to save the other Nikkies.
But I didn't have to worry about the Nicky's skill in sailing on a raft, and the closer I got to shore, the more I could feel the speed of the raft, which I didn't seem to be much slower than a cruise ship...... It's no wonder it only took us an hour to get here.
It's closer......
And I was amazed to find myself feeling like home.
I rub.
Judging by the position of the sun, we are now near the northernmost point of the island, where the Niki settlements on the island were located.
I can now clearly see the situation on the beach on the shore, everything is calm, there are no animal carcasses.
But it's probably something to do with the fact that when I left the island, I set off a forest fire off the west coast and brought the animals there......
It seems that the forest fire has not yet spread to the whole island, at least the forest at the northern end of the island that we see is still intact, presumably thanks to the violent winds and rains that day.
Docked......
I took Moon Spirit's hand and stepped onto the beach......
The other Niki carried the raft and hid it in a bush.
"Moon Spirit, do you remember something?" I asked, looking at Moon Spirit hopefully.
Yue Ling's eyebrows were tightly locked, and she looked like she was thinking carefully......
She began to rub her temples again, and I knew that she was a sign of a headache, so I hurriedly hugged her gently and said, "Don't worry, think slowly, even if you can't remember, it doesn't matter." ”
Moon Ling turned her head to look at me, then smiled.
Forehead......
It's the standard girlish smile, and I think I still prefer her weird "moon spirit" smile before.
Nicotine hid the raft and walked over to me, and Nicotine glanced around the situation ahead and said, "I don't think it's as dangerous as you say." ”
There was a hint of suspicion in this guy's tone, and I frowned and looked at him and said, "This is only the northern tip of the island, and the real riots are in the west and south." ”
"So where do we start?" asked Nicotine.
I've thought about this for a long time, if Chenxi is really alive, then he will definitely go to our previous hiding places, such as the three Blue Bird Company bases including Xiaolou and our Xiaoshishan camp, secondly, he may also be in Niu Zhuang's camp and Duan Long's camp, and secondly, the southeast corner of the island where a lot of gasoline, diesel and heavy trucks were put before.
If you still don't...... Then I'll probably go into the underground building on the edge of the Grand Canyon to see what is going on.
I began to sketch out the locations of these places in my head, and soon came up with the most time-saving route.
Heading from north to south, we'll first reach the Niki settlement, then the Ox Strong's camp, then the small building, the farm, and the third base of the Blue Bird Company, which was later occupied by the "pirates".
Further south we will reach the Grand Canyon, which is filled with water, and then we will be back to our Little Rock Mountain camp.
A little further southwest will lead to Duan Long's camp.
Soon I was leading the group towards the Niki settlement.
Fifteen minutes later, we were already standing on the "ruins" of the Niki settlement, and I saw that the corpses of the Niki who had been "buried" by the dawn had been completely reduced to piles of white bones, and I told Nicotine that they were the bodies of their companions.
Then Nicotine and the other Niki said a few words, and then they leaned side by side towards the place where the bones were, put their hands on the sky and fell on their knees, and began to sing a strange and ethereal song.
However, as their singing sounded, the moon spirit actually began to hum as well......
And her singing voice sounds familiar to me......
