Chapter 10: Eruption
As time passed, the temperature on the island was getting warmer and hotter.
The fat man and the thin man also stopped working, and they jumped into the brook beside them, dabbling their bodies in the water, and chatting lazily and idlely, with obscene smiles on their faces from time to time—perhaps they were thinking about how to torture Zhu Xingxing at night.
Duan Mo hid behind the river rock in the distance, not daring to move at all. His mouth was so dry and dizzy that he couldn't get close even though the stream was less than twenty meters away.
Even worse than him was Zhu Xingxing, the two men didn't seem to care about Zhu Xingxing's life or death, and they didn't even let her drink a drop of water from just now to now, letting her be exposed to the sun in the temperature of forty degrees Celsius.
Duan Mo looked at Zhu Xingxing's chapped lips, a little distressed, but he had to be patient.
After a period of observation, Duan Mo seemed to have noticed some abnormalities in these two men. According to common sense, the day is a good time to gather supplies and stock up on food, but these two people actually didn't leave their camp for half a step, so what do they usually eat?
It's just a female corpse, and it can't be eaten for too long, so could it be that they killed more than one person?
Thinking of this, Duan Mo's disgust for them deepened. As a man, he did not dare to go into the woods to look for food, but dared to wave a butcher's knife at his kind, how could such a person survive until now?
Not only that, but Duan Mo also discovered another strange thing.
From just now to now, for most of the day, Duan Mo actually didn't find any other animals next to this stream. Water is the source of life, and where there is water, there will be the most abundant biological populations, but here...... There was no sign of life.
Thinking of this, Duan Mo had a faint foreboding - near this creek, there was very likely that there was some kind of large predator located in the upper layer of the food chain. It claimed the creek for itself, which meant that there were no other creatures around.
Maybe it's a Tyrannosaurus rex, maybe it's a bunch of saber-toothed tigers...... In short, whatever it is, it is very dangerous. If a Tyrannosaurus rex really suddenly appeared, then not only Zhu Xingxing, but even Duan Mo would not be able to escape the fate of being bitten to death.
"But...... If there really were large carnivores, then these two men wouldn't have survived until now, right?" Duan Mo comforted himself, "Besides, even if there were...... It wouldn't be such a coincidence, would it be now?"
In the midst of apprehension and entanglement, Duan Mo survived another two hours. As the sun moves westward, the temperature on the island gradually drops. When the heat cleared, the two men climbed out of the stream, went to the meat hanger, took off the leg, sat down on the ground and began to eat.
This scene made Duan Mo sick again, but the two men looked like they were enjoying themselves, as if they were eating chicken legs.
The reaction was even stronger than Zhu Xingxing, and after Zhu Xingxing saw their perverted behavior, he retched directly. Zhu Xingxing's reaction caused the two to be dissatisfied, and they walked up to Zhu Xingxing, and punched and kicked again, until Zhu Xingxing lay on the ground and could no longer make a sound, and they stopped the violence.
This time, Duan Mo couldn't bear it anymore. His anger had accumulated to the limit, and he wished that the sun had not completely set at this time, and there was still some light around, but Duan Mo couldn't take care of it anymore. He moved his body slightly, lurking into the dense forest around him.
The camp of the two men was not very far from the woods, and twenty meters away from them was a dense and lush bush, and as long as Duan Mo hid inside, he could not be discovered at all.
Duan Mo crawled among the bushes, approaching the two centimeters by centimeter, and then slowly took off the bow and arrow on his back, and put the sharp stone arrow on the bowstring.
After beating Zhu Xingxing, the two men sat back in place, picked up the human leg and chewed it in a big gulp, this was a once-in-a-lifetime shooting opportunity, Duan Mo naturally would not let it go.
He held his breath and pulled the bowstring to the fullest, the direction of the arrow aimed at the thin man of the two.
According to Duan Mo's assumption, the best situation is that after killing the thin man with one arrow, before the fat man can react, he will shoot another arrow and kill both of them. However, Duan Mo also knew that his plan would not be perfectly realized—his archery skills were too poor, and coupled with the shoddy use of bows and arrows, he was afraid that he would not be able to kill him with one blow.
Therefore, as long as he could kill someone first, Duan Mo would be satisfied.
"Bastard, let me die......" Duan Mo gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice while letting go of his fingers.
The stone arrow carried Duan Mo's full of anger, and shot out with a sound of breaking through the air, accurately hitting the thin man's chest.
Blood splattered immediately, and the thin man's eyes were full of confusion, he never dreamed that there would be such a thing as a bow and arrow on this desert island.
The fat man opposite him was splashed with blood, and he was also shocked, and he was stunned for a while.
However, the lethality of the stone arrow is too weak, and if it hits a vital part such as the throat, it may be able to kill with one blow, but if it only hits the chest, it can't make the thin man die immediately. So Duan Mo didn't hesitate to shoot another arrow - this time, his accuracy was finally better.
A second stone arrow stabbed the thin man in the face, through his mouth, and out of his ear. As soon as these two arrows came out, even if the thin man did not die, he had already lost the ability to fight. I saw him standing stupidly in place, blood gushing out of the wound, his mouth screaming in pain, and the half-eaten human leg in his hand fell to the ground.
After Duan Mo shot two arrows, the fat man finally came to his senses, and he rolled on the spot and hid directly behind the thin man, without any regard for his companions.
The thin man was in unbearable pain, waving his limbs with teeth and claws, and his eyes were full of desire to survive. But the fat man didn't care at all, he saw that the thin man couldn't survive, so he actually took off the stone axe on his waist and smashed the axe directly on the back of his companion's head.
Duan Mo's two arrows may not be deadly enough, but the fat man's axe ended the thin man's life firmly. I saw that his waving limbs slowly stopped, and his eyes gradually lost their brightness.
Duan Mo never expected that this fat man would be so ruthless.
The fat man held the corpse of his companion in front of him, and his two little eyes kept looking around. Duan Mo's long-term patience paid off - at this time, the sun was sinking in the west, and the light in the dense forest was already very dim, and the fat man couldn't see Duan Mo's location at all.
But he still guessed Duan Mo's hiding place based on the direction from which the two arrows came. I saw him shouting at the dense forest, "Friend, who are you, why do you want to kill me?"
Duan Mo lay on the spot, not daring to move at all. Although the fat man does not know his exact location at the moment, he will definitely be spotted as long as he moves.
However, now that the fat man is hiding behind the corpse, Duan Mo can't shoot him again at all - not to mention that this fat man has rough skin and thick flesh, even if he is shot, it is impossible to die on the spot, if he is fierce before he dies and pulls Zhu Xingxing as a substitute for the dead ghost, then Duan Mo will regret his death.
The two sides reached a stalemate, and the fat man's eyes rolled slightly, and he quickly guessed the other party's intentions.
"Friend, are you here to find this woman?" the fat man pointed at Zhu Xingxing with the stone axe in his hand.
Duan Mo didn't answer, which further verified the fat man's conjecture. He then shouted: "I don't know what your relationship is with this woman, if you want to save her, take her away! Everyone is human, it is not easy to survive on this island, don't kill each other!"
These words were reasonable, if Duan Mo hadn't seen the poor female corpse with his own eyes, he might have really believed him.
Not only that, but after the fat man said this, he immediately made the opposite move - he quickly threw down the corpse of his companion, and then picked up Zhu Xingxing on the ground and blocked it in front of him.
"Bastard!" Duan Mo scolded, and what he feared most really happened.
At this point, Duan Mo's bow and arrow would definitely not be able to be used anymore.
Zhu Xingxing's body is small, and he can't block all the fat man's body, but even so, it makes Duan Mo quite jealous - Duan Mo's archery skills are too poor, and it is already a great luck that the two arrows just now can be shot, and now it is impossible to avoid Zhu Xingxing and accurately hit this dead fat man. Cut these two beasts who abused women and ate their own kind with a thousand knives.
