Chapter 218: By the Stream

The sky was like a wide gap here, but the sun hung directly overhead, and only half of its shape could be seen from here because it was obscured by the trees.

"It's a lot bigger than our world. Ibaraki looked up and said, and just as he sighed, he seemed to notice something strange about the sun, "Hey, Sakurama, can you come over for a moment?"

Sakuruma, who heard the call, walked over after taking a panoramic view of the forest: "What's wrong?"

"Come here and take a look, is there anything else in this sun?" Ibaraki hooked his hand and motioned for Sakuruma to come to his place, the sun was not visible from her, "Fuji Fujiko, pay attention to the surroundings." ”

"Got it, Brother Zhenyou. ”

Sakuruma walked up the hill and looked up at the sun, as Ibaraki said, there was something in it, but what could exist inside the sun?

"If Miss Samusa says that this world was modeled after the earth, then the sun must be similar to ours, and whatever it is, it will burn up in the center of the sun, which is as hot as 20 million degrees Celsius. Sakuruma frowned, suddenly remembering the phone in her hand, and held it up to the half sun above her head.

Through continuous magnification, a semi-circular silver object gradually appears in view.

"What is this?" Ibaraki wondered, looking at the silver hemisphere on the screen.

"It's the moon. Sakuruma's words shocked the two siblings, and they all raised their heads to look at the sun again.

"Why the moon? Shouldn't the sun and the moon be separated?"

"Every time day and night turn round, the world turns pale, but in the morning it doesn't. If you guess correctly, it is probably because the sun envelops the moon, and the moon's light is weaker than the sun, so the moon has to replace the sun every evening, which means that the sun must slowly fade, and with the help of its afterglow, the moon will reflect about ten minutes of white light. Sakuruma told Ibaraki and the ice room about it while thinking about it.

"It's strange enough that I didn't expect that the day and night in this world would be this way of changing. Ibaraki sighed, and at the same time developed a sense of admiration for Sakuruma, and if others were left to guess, such authoritative words might never be heard again.

"Xiaokai is too slow, I'll go down to find him, Brother Zhenyou, I'll leave it to you above." "The ice room has been remembering the time in his heart since Yang Xiaokai left, and now it has been about ten minutes or so since he came down the slope, and it doesn't take that long to simply fetch water.

The ice chamber slid down the slope and found a stream not far below, which was the river that Yang Xiaokai had discovered just now, but he was not seen by the river.

"Yang Xiaokaiβ€”"

The shouts were not answered, and Ibaraki and Sakuruma above were also a little impatient, and poked their heads out and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't he here?"

"yes, I don't know where I went, I'll go ahead and look for it. The ice room didn't let Sakuruma come down, with her body it was difficult to climb into the forest just now, and now this small slope was twice as steep as before, and she didn't want to waste time here.

"Fujitoko, be careful, shoot when you are in danger, and I will rush over immediately. ”

"Understood. ”

The creek can only be seen about four or five meters of the river bank on the slope, and the view is blocked on both sides by the rest of the mountain, and nothing can be seen.

Sakuruma looked a little worried, and Ibaraki exhaled and comforted, "Don't worry, your brother is very good and won't have an accident." By the way, I heard Brother Xiaokai say that you planned to save us who were attacked by Mei Kai, thank you so much. ”

"My brother almost died that day. ”

"That...... I don't want to do that, but I escaped in the forest all night with Fujiko, and I want to get rid of that thing as soon as possible, and if you are unhappy with me, I will do my best to find a way to compensate me. Ibaraki suddenly sat down, bent deeply, his hands on his thighs, and a pitiful look begging for forgiveness.

"I don't mean to blame you and the ice room, but I almost hurt him, if only I hadn't sympathized with you two at the time. ”

"That sounds weird......"

"Forget it, let what happened pass, then, are you going to let me keep your secret, or do you want to tell Miss Sakisa and the others when I get back?" Sakurama tilted her head and smirked.

"It's better to keep it in your heart. ”

"Oh?"

"Please!"

"How long are you going to kneel like this? They should be ...... soon."

"Phew!"

The sound of the gunfire made the two of them shudder suddenly, and a chill inevitably rose in their hearts.

"Cut, sure enough, something happened. Ibaraki gripped the handle of the gun and put one hand on Sakurama's shoulder, "Sakurama, you stay here, I'll go see what's going on, no matter what's going on over there, don't you come down, do you hear?"

"Is there anything I can do?" Sakurama pleaded worriedly.

Ibaraki looked at the pistol at her waist and said, "If we can escape, you can cover our retreat here." ”

"Well, you must come back safely. ”

Ibaraki gave a thumbs up and slid down the slope, running in the direction of the ice room.

It was nearly evening, and there was still an hour left in the estimated time to get back, barely enough to get back to the camp, but only if everything went well and no one was hurt.

"This taste...... Could it be?" Ibaraki had just slid down the slope when he smelled a strange scent of flowers, and his brain fluctuated, almost touching it, "Yuche?"

"Ibaraki, are you okay?" Seeing that Ibaraki, who had just slid down, suddenly stopped, Sakuruma's heart suddenly sank.

"It's okay, don't come down! Don't!" Ibaraki strode forward, covering his mouth and nose with his clothes.

Bypassing the protruding mountain, at the mouth of a dim cave, Yang Xiaokai was pressing hard against the body of the ice room, as if trying to throw the gun in her hand out.

"Brother Xiaokai! stop!" Ibaraki aimed at Yang Xiaokai and slowly approached the past, "What's wrong with you?!"

"Ibaraki! The ice room is controlled by Yuche, find a way to stun her!" Yang Xiaokai raised his head and looked at Ibaraki, there was a bullet hole in his left arm, and the bullet had pierced there, but fortunately, it didn't hurt the bones, and the bullet didn't stay inside.

As soon as Ibaraki heard this, she immediately put away her gun and helped Yang Xiaokai restrain the ice room, her strength was so strong that she almost broke free from the control of the two people, and Ibaraki, who didn't want to hurt the ice room, had to tie her up with her own belt when Yang Xiaokai controlled her hands.

"Hold on to her legs, we'll get her out of here. Ibaraki lifted the upper body of the ice room, instructed Yang Xiaokai to lock her legs with his arms, and when he was done, he quickly retreated back to the way he came.

It took a lot of effort for the two to drag the ice room back from the mouth of the cave to the stream, and when the three of them returned, Sakuruma immediately aimed behind them, but saw nothing chasing them.

"Wow-"

Yang Xiaokai took a handful of water and poured it on the face of the ice room, and she suddenly came to her senses, sitting on the ground and panting.

"It's so uncomfortable......"

"Fujitoko, are you better?" Ibaraki undid the belt on the ice room's wrist, her struggle had left a large dark red bruise on her skin, and if she hadn't made it in time, something more serious might have happened.

"Brother Zhenyou, what happened to me just now?"

"The two of us inhaled Yucher's pollen, and you were trying to kill me. Yang Xiaokai checked the gunshot wound on his arm, it was not very serious, and it was fine with a simple bandage after disinfection.

Bingwu almost cried, biting his lip and saying, "I'm sorry...... I couldn't control myself just now, as if my body and brain weren't mine, and then I couldn't remember anything. ”

"Let's go up first, it looks like there are a lot of Yuche in the second layer of the forest, they are extremely dense, you should be more careful in the future. ”

Back on the slope, Sakurama looked at Yang Xiaokai's wound distressed for the first time, although he kept saying that he was fine, but the sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead had betrayed him, it was impossible for someone to be shot and say that it didn't hurt, he just didn't want Sakurama to be sad.

"That hole is where Yuche is hiding. Yang Xiaokai was very firm in his thoughts, since he was controlled by You Che's pollen, the more he went there, the deeper his spirit sank, "If you go inside, you will definitely get pollen, but fortunately, I was shot in the arm by the ice room." ”

"If this place is covered in yucher flowers, will the water in the river still be drinkable?" asked the ice room suddenly.

It's a good question, and no one can prove it now, so Yang Xiaokai refilled the remaining two-thirds of the kettle with water to replenish the water resources, and if there was a problem with the water, they would have to endure not drinking until they found the next clean water source.

"There's some wind here, the pollen should drift in this direction, let's just go to the river upwind and get some more water, this creek is full of flowing living water, there will definitely be no problem over there." Sakurama said, looking at the stream ahead.

"Is there still time?"

"Forty-five minutes left until night, and if you go back, it will probably be night. Ibaraki looked at the twilight overhead, and his face couldn't help but feel a little frightened, he didn't want to experience the fear of being in the dark forest again.

"Most of the people in this forest are herbivores and Yuche, so cover your mouth and nose and you'll be fine. "Sakurama has done a thorough investigation here, and it doesn't look like there are signs of carnivorous animals in the surrounding area, and it's safer than the forest below, so as long as you take precautions against Yuche, you can walk freely here.

After modifying the route, the four of them began to march towards the stream at the upwind outlet, and at this time the sky gradually darkened, and it seemed that the heaven and earth were about to usher in another extremely white moment.
