Chapter 275: Invisible Pressure
Li Mowu stared for a moment, put the teacup aside casually, and at the same time saw that his expression was not relaxed, thinking that he was thinking of the thrilling change last night, and there was also anxiety in his heart. "It's similar to what you speculated, during the vigil, I gradually found that I couldn't see, and at that time I immediately remembered your words, and suddenly realized that maybe this fog was really poisonous, so I immediately went to look for a gas mask, but I couldn't find it, and I couldn't see it at all."
"Le Jin and I first covered our noses with mud wet towels, which really worked, and then we found a few in one of the tents, and just wanted to bring them, Le Jin was bitten by a snake hiding in the backpack when he couldn't see clearly, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly and immediately pinched the snake's head in the air, but he was still bitten, and his hands immediately turned blue."
"But because of the limited amount of venom injected, Lejin did not kill immediately, and dealt with it simply, and at this time I heard you shouting, mistakenly thinking that you were also attacked, and immediately brought a gas mask to come here first, and found outside the tent, I don't know when, from the cracks in the surrounding buildings, a large number of cockscomb snakes appeared, these snakes all hid in the cracks, that is, they did not come out or go in, and then I saw that all those cracks were red scales, as if they were waiting for something."
"So I immediately came back to bring you a gas mask, and then I went back to take care of Lejin and carry him back, and in the middle of it, I saw a strange scene."
"Countless cockscomb snakes poured out of the cracks, and gradually coiled together, forming a huge snake tide scene, like a mass of mollusks, marching rhythmically, moving extremely fast, like a huge school of fish in the sea.."
"This must be their way of transporting the corpses of the Miao Jiang people, but I still can't figure out how they do it, the snake tide almost feels like a creature with a whole head."
Qiu Yan stared at Li Mowu, and after half a sound, he said slowly. "Then why did they destroy this place like this?"
The corners of Li Mowu's mouth twitched slightly, and a smile seemed to be showing on his muddy cheeks, but the smile seemed to be trying to hide the shock of last night and looked a little jerky and ugly, reflecting his trembling Adam's apple. "They must have known about our existence, but because of the mud on the tent, they couldn't find us, these are beasts after all, and they ended up doing it this way."
Qiu Yan looked at Xiao Li beside her, her delicate face covered in mud, and looked at her eyes carefully, her eyes were clear and bright, as if there was no impurity, which made people feel distressed subconsciously, and said slowly. "I'm sorry.."
Xiao Li shook her head and didn't argue anything, but there was a trace of tenderness in her eyes, and she just said a word. "It's good that you're here."
Qiu Yan's words stopped abruptly, he didn't say anything more, just looked at the woman leaning on his arm in silence, he seemed to look much more relaxed, with a gentle smile on his face, and finally said softly. "Thank you."
Suddenly, Li Mowu interrupted suddenly. "My two ancestors, now is not the time to flirt, we can't stay here any longer, they will definitely come back tonight, we must go, and the farther away from here, the better."
He asked Qiu Yan if he could see clearly? Qiu Yan nodded, and he asked him to collect the food and supplies here immediately, and pack them after ordering them. By noon, see how the two of them are doing, and then decide where to go.
Qiu Yan smiled bitterly, but he also knew that this had to be done, but now he didn't know if the snake was clean, so he rested for a while, and when the sun came out, he began to dig over the ruins of the tent and drag out all the usable ones, and Xiao Li was here to take care of the two of them.
The main thing to collect was food, Qiu Yan found a large number of compressed biscuits, all piled up in a bag, and later luckily found canned food in one of the rucksacks.
When there was a car, Qiu Yan also brought canned food, but because they had to explore the way, the canned food was too heavy and was lightly packed outside the canyon, and since entering the forest, they have eaten light compressed dry food all the way, and their lips were foaming when they ate.
Field canned food is very close to normal food, generally high-protein canned beef, canned tuna or canned glutinous rice and soybeans, these things eat long strength and full, not easy to get hungry, in the Heyue Island field escape training, Qiu Yan's favorite is canned beef.
Qiu Yan hurriedly greeted Li Mowu and asked him if he wanted it, Li Mowu shook his head and said. "Anyway, but we can eat them all right away." Then, he looked at the type of canned food. "Damn, I want to eat braised pork, and my mouth is about to fade out of my mouth when I eat compressed biscuits."
Qiu Yan smiled and shook his head, and continued to search, looking for dry food and others, as well as containers to store fresh water.
When he turned out a backpack, Qiu Yan found that there was a folded photo inside, but it was quite well preserved, and it was embossed with compression film, it was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, his wife was holding a child under the moon and leaning on him, the photo was very dirty, and the clothes were very plain, but he was quite happy from his facial expression.
Qiu Yan was a little emotional, and said in his heart that this person didn't know what was going on, if he died here, what would happen to his wife and children? People who do this line of work, life and death are too common, why bother others. When I thought about it like this, I couldn't help laughing at myself, damn it, if I hadn't come out of Heyue Island, I should have been traveling around the world with Xiao Li now, and I had the face to say that others didn't want to think about me.
Qiu Yan put the photo back to Zhao, and at the same time prayed that the person taking the photo was safe and sound, and thought about it while counting it.
It was already noon when everything was put into the bag, Li Mowu wanted to open the road immediately, but the situation between Lejin and Xijiang was not very good, Xijiang had been confused, basically had not eaten, Li Mowu fed water from his lips, Lejin was conscious but weak, and he couldn't stand up, but the cyan on his hands had faded.
It's very troublesome now, and it's impossible to carry two people on their backs and carry so many things too far away from here.
Le Jin pointed to the temple on the side and said weakly. "Go inside, stay away from the water!"
Qiu Yan then thought about it, the cracks of these stones were full of water, connected to the swamp, no wonder these snakes came out of the cracks.
Now there is no other way but to transport the things inside.
The temple collapsed completely, only a general shape, and he didn't even know where the door was, Qiu Yan casually found a corridor to enter, and found that the space inside it was still quite large. The building was supposed to have two floors, the underground one was badly damaged, but the upper floor still saw the structure of the time, all of which were black stones, not high, but there were many very delicate stone pillars in between. I didn't know what path to get between the two floors, but now what has collapsed has become a steep slope.
Qiu Yan climbed up, entered a basically intact stone room, could see the camp below, and after putting down his things, he and Li Mowu carried Xijiang and Le Jin in, but at this time Le Jin was basically able to walk.
The sun is like a curse, Qiu Yan feels that time is very fast, yesterday's fears and nightmares have not subsided, and when he looks back, it is the sun in the west again, and dusk is coming soon. During the day, there was basically no rest or stop, and Qiu Yan felt an invisible pressure coming when he watched the shadows of the trees become hideous.
Despair, this really has a sense of despair, looking at Xiao Li who was doing everything in the back, there was a faint melancholy between Qiu Yan's eyebrows, and there seemed to be a voice in his head asking, after two nights, can you continue to survive tonight?
