Chapter 37: The Stick

The weird jungle area is larger than expected, Shen Hao maintained a speed of 40 yards and drove for more than eight hours, still no sign of being able to get around the jungle, but from just now, the plants in the direction of the jungle began to change significantly, the blue-gray trees became sparse, mixed with many trees of relatively normal colors, and the spider web-like vampire vines crisscrossing the forest were almost invisible.

The sky gradually darkened, due to the unknown magnetic field, the watch and mobile phone have lost the function of timekeeping, Shen Hao estimated it himself, it should be around 7 o'clock in the evening. The surrounding fog did not abate in the slightest, and the darkness made the already low visibility even more blurry, and it was clear that such road conditions were no longer suitable to continue on.

The Hummer H2 came to a halt in front of a prominent piece of wind-eroded rock. Su Yue looked at the dark bushes not far away with some concern, and asked Shen Hao, "Do you really want to get out of the car and camp?" It's so unclear here, why don't we sleep in the car? ”

"Hehe, we don't have a tent, of course we have to sleep in the car." Shen Hao turned off the engine, took the weapon and pushed the door to get out of the car, "But you can't light a bonfire on the car, we have been nesting in the car for most of the day, we have to come down to move our muscles and bones, and eat some hot food by the way." It's not really dangerous yet, so if you have the conditions to relax, try to relax yourself. It's important to adjust your condition at all times. ”

Su Yue hesitated, but out of blind trust in Shen Hao, he still jumped out of the car. Shen Hao locked the car door and threw the car key to Su Yue.

"I'll go to the woods to chop some firewood, and you'll wait for me by the car, and if anything happens, you will shoot and I'll be back immediately." Shen Hao pulled out a scimitar and carried it on his shoulder, lighting a cigarette for himself as he walked towards the dark jungle.

Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, in such a dark environment, he still had to go to the jungle where he knew it was quite dangerous at a glance to chop wood, and only a daring guy like Shen Hao would dare to try it.

The Barrett X13 gun was too long, and Su Yue didn't take it out when he put it in the car, but just held two Caskal465s with his back to the car and watched around vigilantly. Shen Hao, who was far away, didn't bring a flashlight, so he walked into the darkness of the jungle, and after a while, there was a sound of chopping trees, and suddenly there was a strange cry of an unknown creature, but before Su Yue could react, the strange scream over there stopped abruptly, and the sound of cutting trees continued. After a few more minutes, I saw Shen Hao walking back from the darkness with a large bundle of firewood on his back.

"...... just now" Su Yue obviously saw that Shen Hao's scimitar was still dripping with undried blood, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"It's okay, just a few rats." Shen Hao grinned, threw the firewood on his back to the ground, and then divided a part and carried it to the open space next to the wind erosion rock to build a bonfire. Su Yue took a small cup of gasoline from the gasoline barrel in the car and poured it on the pyre, Shen Hao easily flicked the remaining cigarette butts into the pyre, and the dazzling bonfire ignited.

The branches cut by Shen Hao were not dry, and a large amount of black smoke rose from the flames ignited by gasoline, and after a while, the moisture in the wood dried before they began to burn one after another. Shen Hao gathered the remaining wood around the fire to bake, and each dried piece was added to the fire, and the flames of the bonfire grew bigger and bigger, bringing a touch of warmth to the two of them who had been soaked in the damp fog.

Shen Hao stuck the scimitar on the ground, took out the chicken legs and chicken wings that had been packed at KFC before, and used a thick wire to raise them and put them on the bonfire to grill. The flame licks the surface of the chicken, and a little grease is dripped into the fire to make a "squeak" sound. An enticing fragrance began to waft around, causing Su Yue, who was on the other side of the bonfire, to start swallowing again and again.

Both of them hadn't eaten all day, although with their physique, a little hunger didn't have much effect, but the food was naturally not polite at the moment, and after a while, more than half of the big bag of chicken went into the stomachs of the two.

"Someone is coming......" Shen Hao, who was full of food and drink, leaned on the rock and smoked leisurely, when suddenly his ears moved and said casually.

"Oh." Su Yue accosted noncommittally and continued to nibble on the chicken leg in his hand. Shen Hao said "someone is coming" instead of "something is coming", so she didn't pay attention to it at all. The two of them are here to barbecue their meat with great gusto, and it is not surprising that there are survivors nearby who are attracted by the smell of food.

At this time, the two figures had already entered the range of firelight, Su Yue raised his eyes, and saw that the people who came were two young men wearing taekwondo uniforms, both with short hair, who looked to be about thirty to forty years old. It seems that he should have escaped from the forest, and the Taoist clothes on his body were torn several times, and there were red blood stains oozing out in many places.

When the two saw Su Yue sitting beside the bonfire in a neat police uniform, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they sped up their pace of progress with a burst of rolling and crawling, and shouted for help to Su Yue while running. Shen Hao shrugged his shoulders, it seems that when a disaster occurs, the police can always naturally bring people a sense of security.

Su Yue reluctantly put down the food in his hand, got up and led the two survivors to sit by the campfire, and pushed all the remaining chicken in front of them. The two of them were also hungry, ignoring the black mud on their hands, grabbing the food and devouring it. A slightly younger man next to him began to tell the story of the two while eating.

It turned out that these two people were both coaches of the Tianyong Taekwondo Gym in Jianghai City, and the older one next to him, who was also the owner of the gym, Park Sung-hwan, was a Chinese-Korean mixed-race who had participated in many international competitions and was a powerful black belt master.

As soon as he heard this name, Shen Hao, who was half-lying on one side, was happy, and interjected and teased: "I said, stick, do you have a brother named Park Chengxing?" There is also a person named Park Jung-hwan? ”

"Bastard, what are you talking about!" As if he had been stepped on by his tail, the young coach stood up all of a sudden, rushed to Shen Hao and wanted to pull him by the collar, but Park Sung-hwan, who was still sitting on the side, also glared angrily. Shen Hao spread his hands with a lazy expression, looking like he was letting you do what he wanted, and there was some provocation in his eyes.

The young man's hand was halfway out, and a crisp bolt of a gun froze his movements on the way. Su Yue on the side had already pulled out Caskal465 at some point, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at his head. A pistol with such a domineering shape as Caskal465, it is estimated that the two have never seen it, and they can't help but be a little stunned, but the 13mm large-caliber barrel makes it impossible to doubt its lethality.

"The instructor is just joking with you......" Su Yue glanced at Shen Hao with some sarcasm, put away the pistol, and motioned for the young man to come back and sit down, "Go on, don't pay too much attention to him." ”

"Instructor?" The young man returned to his seat angrily, while Park Sung-hwan on the side looked at Shen Hao with surprise. Shen Hao was dressed in civilian clothes, and at first both of them regarded him as a victim rescued by this female police officer, but they didn't expect Su Yue to call him an instructor, could it be that he was also a policeman, or a soldier from the army.

Su Yue coughed lightly, drawing the attention of the two of them back, and then motioned for the young man to continue to tell his story. The young man hesitated, but continued.

At the time of the disaster, there were not many people staying in the gym, except for a few instructors, there were only a dozen students who participated in the morning exercises. A sudden strange fog enveloped the entire gym, and the personnel inside didn't care about it at the beginning of their training, but then the gate was suddenly knocked open by a terrifying-looking monster, this monster was slightly taller than normal humans, and it was covered in black animal hair. They had a hideous head that looked like a ghost head and an ape's head, and its mouth was full of fangs and sharp like daggers. They have slender limbs and sharp fingertips, covered with tiny barbs.

The monsters saw the living human beings, and suddenly their eyes flashed fiercely, waving a pair of sharp claws and pounced on them, and there was chaos in the gym, although they were all people who practiced martial arts, but they were suddenly attacked by such a terrifying monster with their bare hands, and almost everyone was confused, and suddenly several people were poisoned one after another, and they were torn by the strange ape and pierced their stomachs, and the strange ape was so generous with the bloody internal organs and ate it.

Park Sung-hwan and several coaches in order to cover the retreat of the students, have been using the materials in the hall so they can use to entangle with the strange ape, during which people have been sacrificed one after another, until all the students have successfully escaped from the gym, Park Sung-hwan led people to retreat. But after leaving the gym, they found themselves in a strange jungle, and then the strange ape chased and killed again, they couldn't think about it much, they could only bury their heads and run wildly, in this fog with extremely low visibility, they chased and fled, and the rest of the people all ran away, and Park Chenghuan took the young coach named Wang Peng next to him to run in the jungle for a whole day before escaping to the edge of the jungle. In exhaustion, he suddenly smelled the aroma of barbecue, and only then did he find the location of Shen Hao and the others.

Shen Hao has been noncommittal about the words of the two, but Su Yue listened very seriously, perhaps out of the duty of the police, Su Yue accepted the two to join, appeased them, and found them water and medicine. And the two also seemed much more relaxed after seeing the policeman with a firearm.

After eating and drinking, Shen Hao got up and went to the car to take two blankets and threw them to Park Chenghuan and the others, and then pulled Su Yue into the car to sleep.

Su Yue looked through the car window at the two people sitting in front of the fire treating each other's wounds, and asked Shen Hao in a low voice, "You seem to hate them very much?" ”

"Because the sticks are very dishonest." Shen Hao lay comfortably on the back seat, pursed his lips and said, "Although they are of the same nationality, they are much more hypocritical than CX people, the one surnamed Pu said that he was so great and selfless, but unfortunately his eyes kept fluttering, hey, I don't believe he would be that kind of person." ”

"What do you mean......" Su Yue also frowned when she heard this.

"I mean, we'd better keep an eye on them, they follow as they want, and we're not obligated to take care of their safety." Shen Hao yawned and curled up his body in his seat, as if looking for a more comfortable position. "Go to sleep, maybe you have to wake up again, squint for a while if you can, and take care of your spirit to act better."

Su Yue shook her head, moved the position in the front row, and slept with her clothes.
