Chapter 56: "God's Gift"

I don't know how long I slept, but I was suddenly awakened by a cold drop of water, and it was dark all around, and a large amount of rain was falling. The canopy of the tree I was in was already very dense, but it still couldn't stop the sudden rainstorm, and my clothes quickly became soaked. I felt a burst of ecstasy in my heart, this was God's "extra gift" to me! This timely rain diluted my whereabouts, not to mention, but also washed away the smell of rotting leaves and blood on my body, although those smells have already caused my sense of smell fatigue, but it is always uncomfortable to wear it, I can't always be so "different", and I want to restore the appearance of a "normal person" as soon as possible!

I quickly unhooked the hook and quietly hung down from the tree. I'm going to make the most of this gift from God and clean myself up thoroughly, so that as long as the smell is gone, my movement will be much easier. In tropical rainforests, there are usually showers, and it may not take a few minutes to stop, so I have to hurry up and clean my stains, but I can't find a water source.

I found a place where the two trees were at the junction of the two trees, where the rain was strong, and I stepped out of a clearing with my boots, quickly stripped off my clothes, and put my weapon within arm's reach just in case.

Sure enough, the rainstorm only stopped after about ten minutes, and I made full use of this short period of more than ten minutes to clean myself thoroughly, and now I am secretly glad that I made a quick decision and slid down the tree in time, cleaned up the stains and blood on my body, and let myself have no worries.

I just defined this sudden heavy rain as a "gift from God", but now it seems that it is still more accurate, perhaps his old man could not bear to see his children wander away from a foreign country and suffer too much, so he rewarded this "rain of elimination" for about ten minutes in time. Therefore, I am very grateful for this God's rain and dew, which kept me away from danger and brought me back to the "human" level.

It's half past four in the afternoon, and I've slept for more than four hours. Due to the dense forest, the twilight clouds are low, and the surroundings are already very dark, and I would have wanted to climb to the trees immediately to continue resting, avoiding the peak of some fierce beasts foraging, but now I am so hungry that I can't sleep in the trees.

I used the original foraging method again, walked around the neighborhood, and saw that the palm-sized fungus and mushrooms immediately filled my mouth and chewed it was really sweet and delicious, and I even unexpectedly picked a sea bowl-like lion's mane mushroom, I was not willing to eat it, wrapped it in a large leaf, and tied it to my body with thin vines. I also looked for some dead branches with fungus and mushrooms, and tied them up with green vines, which I can't eat now, but I keep them for supper in the evening or for breakfast tomorrow, these things grow very quickly, and can grow very large in one night, and if there are any special circumstances, I can live on these things, and I guess there will be no problem for a week. I'm going to spend the night on this tree tonight, I don't want to risk being eaten by a beast anymore, and last night I took a great risk and was forced to walk through the forest. Now it's different, the danger is far away from me, and it seems that I can enjoy the "moonlight dinner" tonight with peace of mind, but I don't know if the merciful God will continue to "favor" me.

Nature is generous, and as long as you put your mind to it, survival is not a problem. For now, as long as I want, I can catch some live creatures to serve as my own delicacy and improve my food, just now when picking fungus and mushrooms, there are many small snakes more than one meter long wrapped around the green vines, enjoying the coolness after the rainstorm. I can easily catch them alive, put them on sticks, and then build a fire and dry my clothes while enjoying the barbecue.

But if I had done that, I would have been kicked in the head by a donkey to do the stupidest thing in the world, and it was a miracle that I was still alive until now! If I had done that, I guess even God would have glanced at him with disgust, and he would have regretted that he had just given the "gift of rain and dew", for in his opinion, an arrogant man is not worthy of mercy! Now the air has become very fresh after the washing of this rainstorm, and the aroma of barbecue can waft out seven or eight kilometers away, and it is estimated that in less than half an hour, this place will become a "feast" for giant beasts, and I am the initiator of this "feast", as for whether I will become their "comfort cookies", it depends on God's will.

After more than half an hour of searching, I tied all the dead branches with fungus and mushrooms I had collected with a green vine and tied them around my waist with a hook rope, and I was going to take them back to my temporary "home".

Now that it's getting dark, I can't stay down there any longer, this time is the golden time for beasts to forage, and I don't want to learn from those street youths, who are good at flaunting the value of their existence with fierce fighting.

I followed the hook and rope back to the tree nearly fifteen meters high, where my soft bed was. I tied the dead branches with fungus and mushrooms to a fork next to me with green vines, and in such a warm and humid environment, I guess my problem of supper and tomorrow's breakfast is basically solved. In order to sleep more comfortably at night, I cut off a few small branches with leaves, reinforced them on top of the soft bed, and tied them with hooks and ropes, of course, I still tied the ropes into joints in case of emergencies.

I lay on the "tree bed" and let my whole body relax, and then I had time to think about something: from Captain Ji Yunkai and Professor Qi who jumped out of the car to avoid pursuit, to now at six o'clock in the evening, it has been fifteen hours, they should be out of danger, right? I wonder if Comrade Long Zhan has received them? I don't know if the toxins on Captain Ji's wrist should be cleaned up? I know that thinking about these are useless nonsense now, and I can't help much, my side is still a mess, and it is still unknown when and whether I can get out of trouble, and now I am worried about them, just talking to pass the free time.

I don't know what's going on at home now? It's been more than 50 hours since I came out, and the mobile phone card has been thrown into a pond on the side of the road by me, and the phone can't get through, will Sister Shan think that something happened to me? Have you called the police? I once offended the "triad", and she would definitely think that I had been kidnapped by them, and maybe she would have called the police. And Xiao Ya's pestering guy, is she also looking for me all over the world? Will she pester her aunt to "hunt" me all over the city? Maybe she has already got in touch with Sister Shan, and the two women are discussing countermeasures, maybe the two of them will report to the police together. Principal Wang of the driving school was nothing, he must have used the spare key to drive the car "special car" away.

If I get lucky enough to go back this time, and I want to live a peaceful life of peddling cheap skills to make a living, it is estimated that it will be very difficult, depending on what Captain Ji Yunkai means, if he doesn't get me back to the special operations team, he will definitely have trouble sleeping. Besides, I'm used to the days of wiping blood from the knife, so I suddenly have a sense of loss, go back, go back, under the touch of the palm of the god of fate, the personal tricks seem insignificant.

Although I had just rested for more than four hours, it was far from dispelling the fatigue that had accumulated in me, and now that my mind was relaxed, they came to my door in due time.

Just now, under God's "extra favor", I have washed away the odor on my body, let myself have more protection in terms of safety, and by the way fill my empty stomach, and above me there is still the dead branch with fungus and mushrooms - I can use it as a supper or breakfast, and now I have repaired my own small bed, I can accept the touch of nature more comfortably, my spirit is empty, pillow "moonlight dinner" big dream, slowly into the arms of Zhou Gong.

In my sleep, a strange sensation suddenly spread throughout my body, and my years of iron-blooded life gave me the instinct to perceive danger: there is danger. I immediately put on the infrared glasses on top of my head, and a pair of sharp eyes quickly scanned downward. Sure enough, under the tree, there were at least three large four-legged animals, dark red under the infrared lenses, who were anxiously circling in circles below, and one had already climbed into the middle of the tree, at most three meters away from me. Without further ado, I quickly pulled out the miniature pistol on my left calf, fired eight shots at the animal's red head, and shot all the bullets inside. Sure enough, the red beast roared and rolled down the tree.

They must have been drawn by the smell of blood from my washing, and there were as many as four of them at once, and I am now secretly glad that I had made the wise decision to choose a tree as a habitat instead of digging a pit to bury myself, otherwise I would have been eaten by them.

Now dealing with this beast is different from the previous one, the previous one is only horizontal attack on me, the speed is amazing, I only have one chance to shoot, I can only fire three shots at most, if I miss the vital point, it is difficult to make other moves, I will be thrown to the ground and torn to pieces. And now, this one, close to me, with its head facing me, was lying on the trunk of a tree, not to mention the speed of its attack, so all eight of my bullets in an instant hit its vital point - its head, and even if it did not kill it, it was inevitable to be mercilessly disfigured.

As the huge beast roared down, startling the three animals that were circling below, none of them stretched out their "hand of friendship" to catch it to prevent it from breaking, and they all dodged, allowing the attacking activist to slap firmly on the ground. Of course, it can't be broken by falling, there is a thick layer of rotten leaves underneath, and the fatal thing is that it has eight bullets in the head, and I don't know if the two eyes have survived.

When the beast fell, I quickly untied the hook and searched the other trees to prevent other animals from coming at me from the other trees, and although it was very unlikely, I could not be unguarded!

The leopard's fur is a natural protective color, and when it is ambushed in the woods, the spots on its body are mixed with the shade and leaves, and it is difficult to spot it, and once it is found, it is too late. But don't be afraid now, I'm looking at them with infrared glasses, which has little to do with the protective color, as long as it's still hot, I can spot it. The leopard is quite terrifying, an adult leopard weighs about fifty or sixty kilograms, and is extremely powerful, and can drag prey twice its own weight to a tree, and hang it on a branch to prevent other carnivores and scavengers from stealing food.

Now the three leopards watching the battle were shocked by my "feat" of shooting down the leopard pioneer in an instant, and they did not dare to act rashly, but could only vent the anger in their hearts with fierce eyes, thinking about a good way to avenge their "cousin".

I was so anxious that I did not know whether the sound of the gunfire and the roar of the beast had alarmed the enemy, but I must be prepared for the worst: the enemy had discovered it, and was approaching it quickly. But now that it was dark all around, it was impossible for me to "drift" on the tree with a hook and rope as I did during the day, and it was even more unrealistic to go down the tree to fight the three visible animals. But I can't sit still, can I? I don't know if the following three animals are in a strong mood to avenge their "cousin", whether they will move their troops? Anyway, I'm stuck firmly in this big tree.
