Chapter 339: The Jungle
The most pressing problem in front of us at the moment is not to decipher the problems that we couldn't figure out before, but to think about how to extricate ourselves from the current situation. Novel/
This time, although Chen Wei and I were temporarily sitting on the platform, there was the boiling river in front of us, probably the upstream was sending water, the river water was very turbid, and the flow speed was also very fast.
The platform is also almost level with the water surface, and it is said that when you are sitting, your buttocks are also soaked in the water, not to mention the legs, and the whole thing is soaked in the water.
Behind us was a straight, straight cliff, smooth except for the occasional small shrub that had grown hard in the crevices, and it was almost a fool's dream to climb it.
We rested for about half an hour, the boat in the distance had already completely disappeared from the water, the river was unfathomable, this ship was destined to have no chance to come out again, only to be silent in this rolling Yangtze River, no one knew, forgotten.
Chen Wei looked up at the cliff behind us, and then looked back at the river, as if he was thinking about which side to go and die more slowly.
I didn't bother him, compared to the crazy dream of climbing the cliff, my heart has been more inclined to jump into the river and resign himself to fate.
After two minutes like this, Chen Wei stood up on the platform, reflexively took out two small daggers from his pocket, and began to gesture against the cliff.
The platform is not big, I can't stand firm like Chen Wei, I can only sit and look up at him: "I see, let's still jump into the river, maybe we can float to some gentle place, and then we don't have to go over the mountain, and we don't have to drown." ”
Chen Wei ignored me, his fingers caressed some gaps between the cliffs due to the pressure, and suddenly he suddenly slammed the dagger into the middle of the cliff.
Then he tried to see if the dagger was secure, and when he was sure that it was safe, he jumped on the narrow platform and clasped on the occasional bump on the rock, and stepped on the dagger that had just been set with one foot.
I was frightened for a while, for fear that the dagger would suddenly fall off, and Chen Wei would fall into the river, he was not wearing a life jacket, and it would not be easy for me to catch him if he fell in.
But he was clearly sure that what I feared never happened.
Chen Wei stepped forward and groped the gap of the cliff in the same way as before, and then inserted another dagger into it, compared to jumping from the platform, it was very difficult for him to jump from this dagger to the top of a dagger with such an unsafe borrowing, but Chen Wei's body was like a flower butterfly, and he went up lightly. (.
The lowest of this cliff is about ten meters, and then I saw Chen Wei take out a dagger and go up the cliff in the same way.
To be honest at this time, compared to the shock, he actually climbed up, and what was even more shocking was that he actually carried so many knives with him
During this period, I kept looking at Chen Wei with my head up, and I didn't dare to say a word, for fear of disturbing him and causing him to fall off his mind.
When Chen Wei finally climbed up, my heart was immediately relieved and I gasped fiercely.
Chen Wei glanced at me from above, and after making a gesture of calmness, he turned to look for something.
Soon he lowered a piece of rope from above, and the rope looked very old, some of it looked like it had been removed from an old fishing net, but it was thicker than the net.
Tying the rope to my body, Chen Wei motioned for me to step on the dagger along the way as a point of strength, and then he slowly pulled me up towards the top of the cliff.
With these daggers, it is really a lot easier, and the arms can also rest properly.
The journey was not smooth, but it was much easier than imagined to climb to the top of the cliff.
The first thing after coming up was to untie the rope in advance.,And then keep pumping and rubbing the belly that was almost bald by the rope.。
During this period, the pain in the place where the skin on the stomach and the rope rubbed had eased a little, and only then did he take care of the left and right to look at the surrounding environment.
The overall environment around me is similar to what I guessed before, at the moment we are in a place similar to a small hilltop, but there is no road to the bottom of the mountain, at least there is no around, if you want to go down, one is from the other side of the cliff, or you just go forward, until you find a place where the slope is gentle and you can go down directly without risking.
There are also bushes under the cliff here, there is no meaning for us to go down, sit on the top of the cliff for a while, leaning on Chen Wei's body, the two of us quietly looked at the river surface that has been calm and waveless.
At this moment, the rolling turbid river water is unusually quiet except for the rushing water.
In other words, apart from me and Chen Wei, there will be no one around here, no one alive.
I deliberately didn't think about my grandmother's safety, and kept comforting myself, the fat man and Sun Miao took her, Dabai and Xia Xia were also wearing life jackets, and there would definitely be no danger.
Leaning his head on Chen Wei's shoulder, he quietly looked at Jiang Shui without speaking, and I suddenly found that it seemed that it had been a long time since I had been with him so innocently and without being entangled in strange things, so I stayed so pure and quiet.
Clearing my throat, I spoke: "Chen Wei reads;." ”
"Huh?" He made a slightly nasal sound.
"What are you going to do when you arrive in Wuhan?"
Chen Wei was silent for a long time, playing with a withered grass in his hand, and his eyes looked into the distance without focus: "Go and finish what needs to be done, and figure out what you want to know." ”
"What do you want to know?"
Chen Wei shook his head and took my hand: "It's something that you have to know the result." ”
I nodded: "I will always be with you." After thinking about it for a while, he added, "As long as you want." ”
Hearing this, Chen Wei laughed knowingly.
This sound was rare in his smile.
He increased the force of holding my hand and said, "He Mo, what do you think is the significance of human beings coming to this world?" ”
After thinking about it for a while, I responded: "It depends on how you look at this problem, if you zoom in and look at it, I really can't say what the meaning of human life is, but if you look at it smaller, then there are many reasons, children, the elderly, responsibility, family affection, friendship, love, these can all become meanings." ”
When we said the word child, Chen Wei and I both paused with our hands, but neither of us opened their mouths to ask questions about this.
Looking into the distance, Chen Wei spoke: "The premise of these is that you must at least know what you are." ”
What he said was quite strange and incomprehensible.
"What exactly is yourself?? Of course you're human, and you're the cool guy. "I deliberately made a joke that was not salty or light, and wanted to change the atmosphere of the conversation at the moment.
Chen Wei also seemed to realize that the air pressure between the two of us was getting lower and lower at this time, and simply began to be silent.
After a little more like this, he pulled me and began to walk to the side.
After all, staying on top of this mountain all the time is not an option.
The road here is not very easy to walk, there are gravel and trees everywhere, and there are cliffs about a meter wide from time to time.
If it weren't for Chen Wei by his side and a sense of security in his heart, I wouldn't dare to jump over the gap of one meter to death.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, there was a slope leading directly to the bottom.
There aren't many trees above this slope, and it's a natural way downhill.
These mountains are really a miracle of nature.
Sitting on both sides of the Yangtze River endlessly, stretching for so many miles, there are few gaps.
After descending the mountain, we entered a forest, but just a few minutes after entering the woods, we encountered a team of walking corpses in the distance, one on the left and one on the right.
Chen Wei didn't find out too late, but we just dodged the one on the right and collided with the one on the left, so that after narrowly avoiding it, there was no chance to hide in the woods again.
All the weapons on Chen Wei's body were used to climb the cliff before, and the dagger on my body disappeared when I fell into the river.
In this way, the two of us, who don't even have knives in our hands, can only passively avoid the walking corpse.
Otherwise, if it were in the past, these walking corpses Chen Wei would have been able to deal with it himself.
Another thing I found was that these two groups of walking corpses were not walking fast, and none of them were as fast-paced as the ones I had encountered before.
I thought it was lucky for the two of us, and we just didn't meet it, but when we tried our best to avoid the two groups of walking corpses, walking in the jungle, and meeting one or two walking corpses one after another, none of them had that kind of fast walking corpses, I couldn't help but be puzzled.
It seems that after we got on the boat and left that place, including the two days in which we carried goods on the shore, we did not see the walking corpse with a relatively fast movement.
Could it be that there is also some geographical distribution in the world of the walking dead? Walking corpses roaming in different places will also have different attributes???
Shaking his head, he felt ridiculous, how could this be.
