Chapter 342: Fleeing on a Rainy Night
People like Peter, Cornell, Charlie and others are not unalert, but they are too tired during the day, and the raindrops fall evenly on the tent, increasing the effect of hypnosis, and at four or five o'clock in the morning, it is the time to sleep deeply.
Li Qingyun roared out at this voice, which immediately scared these people awake, opened the tent and took a look, and immediately hurriedly tore open the sleeping bag and put clothes on his body.
The two hounds whispered uneasily and circled around the tent door. Li Qingyun instantly put the things in the tent into a small space, leaving only a backpack. When the portable tent is collected, it is also a little time-consuming, and by the time everyone puts the tent in their backpacks, the water is already up to their knees.
"What should we do now, where should we take refuge?" Charlie yelled at Li Qingyun anxiously.
In the dark of the night, there were only sporadic lights, but in the icy rain, there was only a limit to what could be seen.
"If you want to continue the adventure, cross the creek. If you want to return, you can go up the mountain road from the time you came. Li Qingyun replied succinctly.
"Of course, it's an expedition, and if you don't reach your goal, you won't look back. Mr. Guide, you lead the way in front. Charlie shouted.
The people who are exploring the way are all cannon fodder characters, Li Qingyun sneered, but without the slightest hesitation, with two big dogs, holding the lamp, he ran towards the stream.
In fact, he remembered the shallowest area, but now there was water everywhere, and the stream that could have kept his shoes from getting wet had risen to his waist, and which was deeper and which was shallower meant little to him. As for whether it makes sense to the few gringos behind him, that is not within his consideration.
"Keep up, hurry up. Hurry across the river and wait for the water to rise to your neck, just wait for the water to wash away. Li Qingyun said, already walking into the cold and biting stream.
This temperature is not a matter for him, but he screams in his mouth, telling everyone that he is not lightly frozen.
The people behind didn't say anything comforting, because their screams and teeth chattering were louder than Li Qingyun's.
The terrain in this area is relatively flat, and the current is not too fast. But Li Qingyun spent it alone. I didn't use any tools, and it was a little strained. When he carried the two big dogs to the opposite bank without danger, the seven foreigners held hands and crossed the river in the standard way of exploration. Walking slowly and hard. From time to time, I was scratched by the branches of the trees that washed in the water. was hit by a section of rotten wood, and small injuries continued.
Li Qingyun shone the light with a lamp and saw that the most snow was floating on the water. Confirming his suspicions, it seems that the snow in the upper mountains has been washed away by this unseasonal rain.
"Oh God, I'm freezing to death...... Whoever has the wine, take it out, fuck, I have it in my backpack, it's just that my body is frozen and I can't take it off......"
"Peter, pull Professor Andrew up, oh my God, get him up, he's all on the shore, why did he fall into the water again......"
When the group reached the shore, they were even more busy, and the professor, who was in his forties, was the last to come ashore, and somehow, with a weak leg, fell into the river, and was almost swept away by the current. At the critical moment, Peter jumped into the river and dragged Professor Andrew up, both of them soaking wet, and they were dragged ashore and poured wine into their mouths.
Li Qingyun stood under the tree farther away, drinking the old wine slowly, watching coldly, without any intention of interfering. This group of daring gringos dared to threaten themselves with the safety of their families and force themselves to be their guides, and from the beginning of their work, the end was doomed.
It's too close to the town, and if they die, the Onion Association will definitely not give up, and will send someone to investigate the truth of the death, and when the time comes, they will show a little clue, and they will be in big trouble in this life. So, for safety, they must be led deep into the mountains.
After being flustered for a while, he couldn't wake Professor Andrew up, which made Charlie anxious and looked at Cornell as if asking for help. Cornell whispered something to Charlie, and then squatted down beside Andrew, reached out and pressed it on his chest, and there was a faint light.
Li Qingyun's eyes shrank, and he instantly scanned the expressions and reactions of the people around him, including Charlie and Coulomb, but they didn't see this faint light, just stared at Andrew's face.
Soon, Professor Andrew woke up, coughed loudly a few times, and spat out a mouthful of phlegm, not choking on water. When he woke up, he was still very weak, but he looked at everyone in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Cornell seemed to be very tired, gasping for breath, and said with a little annoyance: "Damn, he wasn't flooded, he seemed to be sick, and it was too hard to wake him up." ”
As he spoke, he touched Andrew's head with his hand to confirm his guess: "If you don't believe it, your head is hot, and you may get sick at night." In this case, just take antipyretics, why let me do it?"
"Well, I'll remember you for that, this is not the place to talk. Hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain and give Andrew medicine. Peter, you and Mr. Guide are exploring the way ahead, Cullen, you carry Professor Andrew on your back, and we are following behind. ”
Li Qingyun drank a little wine, his body was not too cold, and he deliberately controlled the blood flow rate in his body, which would soon warm up his body, and if he wanted to, he would be able to sweat in an instant.
He hadn't planned to take the gang to the hunters' camp, and to take the group of gringos around the forest in the dark rain.
On the hillside in the distance, there were a few whimpering sounds of wolves or wild dogs, which were not very real in the rain, but even more eerie and disturbing.
"Damn stupid guide, will you lead the way, where will there be shelter from the rain? When you find it, all of us may get frostbite. "Cornell just gave out a light to heal people, and he seemed to be so tired that he had only walked so far, he could no longer hold his breath, and he was so tired that he hunched his waist and complained and cursed loudly.
Li Qingyun didn't eat his set, and immediately shot back: "Don't accept you to lead the way? If you don't know the way, don't scold and scold, hurry at night, Lao Tzu didn't take you to the bottom of the cliff, you can pray secretly." ”
Cornell was furious and rushed forward to beat Li Qingyun, but was stopped by Peter. Peter and Li Qingyun explored the road side by side in front, and had the deepest experience, although there were lights, but in the dark rainy night, almost nothing could be seen clearly, let alone find a place to shelter from the rain, and they couldn't even find a flat place to support a tent.
Charlie's strong body couldn't bear it, and said tremblingly: "Don't make any noise...... This one...... Dear Mr. Guide, please take us to a level place, where we need to camp at once to keep warm, and if we go on like this, we will all be doomed. ”
"Hear it, it's like a human saying, and you will say 'please'. Li Qingyun cursed unrelentingly, like an ordinary rough mountain man, nagging about his strength, saying that if it was another guide, he would never dare to rush at night.
"Woohoo woo!" the gold and copper coins suddenly screamed sharply, the signature cry of spotting danger.
Beneath the dim huge front, there were more than a dozen pairs of green eyes, which also made a threatening "whine" sound.
"Damn it, it's a beast, pull out your shotgun......"
"The grass and the shotguns are all in the backpack, and I didn't take them out just now...... It's too cold in your hand......"
"Shine a lamp on them and shake their eyes, so that the beasts will be afraid, at least not suddenly attack us......"
Li Qingyun's sawing shotgun was taken out of the bag behind his back in an instant, and it was just a matter of his arm. He knew that there were stray wild dogs on the outskirts of the mountains, and it was even more dangerous to encounter them than to encounter coyotes. I encountered it once in the summer when I entered the mountain, and this time I encountered it as soon as I entered the mountain, and there may be more than one wild dog pack in the vicinity.
"Wang! Wang!" Dozens of meters away, under the mountain rocks, there were stiff and fierce wild dog barks, their barks were different from those of domestic dogs, and they had become wild and wild.
Li Qingyun held the gun, thinking about whether to shoot or not, and how to be the most cost-effective for himself. These seven or eight wild dogs, even if they pounced, would definitely not be able to hurt themselves. However, gold and copper coins instinctively bite them, and even if they are two enemies, they will be injured. However, the foreign experts behind him will be injured at least two or three, and then they will have to return to the rabies vaccine...... Of course, they may also have rabies vaccine shots in their backpacks.
"Shoot, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry, they're going to pounce...... someone urged Li Qingyun to shoot in horror.
Now this group of people can't be allowed to return, so Li Qingyun shot instantly. The loud gunfire frightened the wild dogs into breaking up, and they soon fled into the dark jungle and disappeared.
In the air, in addition to the faint smell of sulfur, there was also a hint of blood. There were too many wild dogs, and Li Qingyun struck twice at the dark empty place, but he didn't expect to hit. However, they were not injured, and when they reached the place where the wild dogs took shelter from the rain, there were no dead dogs left except for a pool of blood.
It's a huge rock with a large piece vacated in the middle and sheltered from the rain underneath. At this time, Charlie had no other choice, so he went under the rock with the others, sat in the dry place where the wild dogs had laid, rubbed his hands, and poured high wine into his mouth.
"Peter, you and Culomb go find some branches and come back to light the fire, if we don't dry our wet clothes, we'll all get sick, and like Professor Andrew, we don't even have the strength to walk. "Charlie Tong guò has learned the lesson of the past two days, and he has not dared to enslave Li Qingyun too much, so he has crossed a mountain, and without a guide, they dare not guarantee that they can find a route to the place where the meteorite fell.
Peter seemed to be doing the job, and there was no room for rebuttal, and the big man Culomb was not very happy, and Cornell ordered him to go, and he reluctantly followed.
Professor Andrew took the antipyretic medicine, still dazed, and kept complaining: "Damn the weather forecast, not accurate, not at all, doesn't it mean that the next ten days will be sunny? It will rain heavily the next day after entering the mountain......
It was almost dawn that Peter and Coulomb found some not too wet branches and leaves at the edge of the dense forest, collected them, sprinkled some white and yellowish powder on them, and set them on fire with flint and steel. It's just that it's too damp, black smoke is billowing out, and the chaotic wind rolls into people's noses and eyes, choking everyone to cough. (To be continued......)
