Chapter 57: Searching
"Let's go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" A familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Li Kai shuddered and quickly raised his head, although his eyes were stinged by tears, he still recognized the person in front of him.
"Captain!" Li Kai hugged An Su's slender body regardless of the injuries on his body, it was real, not an illusion! His heart suddenly settled. "I thought you ......"
"If I get killed easily, I don't deserve to be your captain." Ansu patted him lightly on the back and said in a relaxed tone. But Li Kai knew that just now he was really dead, besieged by a group of crocodiles, and most of them would take off the burden on their bodies to escape, but the captain left him a chance to live.
Ansu is indeed not as relaxed as the tone says. She has several deep holes in her left arm, apparently from crocodile bites, and her abdomen is cut by crocodile scales, and their tails are also powerful weapons. Ansule killed one of them anyway, though, and stabbed the saber strapped to her thigh into the crocodile's soft jaw, killing it.
Today is an extremely thrilling day, first being inexplicably attacked, falling into the water, then swimming, and fighting with crocodiles, Ansu feels physically and mentally tired, although the body's self-repair ability is higher than that of ordinary people, but these serious injuries will still take a certain amount of time.
The two were sore, tired, and hungry, so they had to rest on the edge of the jungle on the shore and wait for a little recovery before looking for them. His body was so tired that he didn't want to move a finger, so Ansu cut some branches and put them on the ground, so he rested against the trunk and closed his eyes. Li Kai also leaned to the side.
Tonight was destined to be an unstable night, with no fire, no food, the noise of the jungle added to the sound of the water, and the pain in the body made it difficult to sleep. It was a long and difficult night.
Li Kai looked at the starry night sky and recalled everything that came to this planet. It's the first time I've felt so lost and hesitant since I embarked on a journey with the captain to find my companions. The fate of the companion who was finally found is uncertain, and his life is in unknown danger.
He exhaled deeply, and the feeling was so unpleasant!
"Sleep, I'll go back tomorrow and take a look." An Su closed his eyes and said lightly.
"Captain, aren't you annoyed? I wish I had killed that sneak attacker. Li Kai gritted his teeth and said.
"There's going to be a chance." Ansu said in a deep voice, "But until then, we need to get back to the best condition." ā
The next day, at dawn, the two set out to walk up the riverbank, and after a day and a night, the flood waters had receded, revealing the submerged jungle. The so-called river bank is just a relatively high place. They walked upstream along the lowlands that had receded from the floodwaters.
After the explosion, a large crater was blasted out of the edge of the lowland, and the trees next to it fell down, which was not difficult to find. The body of the python is no longer there, and it is estimated that it was washed away by the flood. An Su and Li Kai searched around carefully, but found no human body fragments, so they were a little relieved. They didn't find the clue to the mysterious point of light, and the air was even more difficult to find than the sneak attack on the ground. They returned to the place where the shelter had been built, the fire had been extinguished, the water that had been drawn down from the rocks had overflowed the bamboo tubes, and everyone's packages were still there, but the people were no longer there.
The two of them drank some water, then filled the bamboo tubes, cleaned up and left, this place was no longer suitable as a shelter. They plan to look for Simon's trail in the direction of the receding floodwaters. Sun Cheng may have escaped at that time, but he was nowhere to be found, and An Su and Li Kai had to go to find Simon first, at least they knew the direction in which Simon was washed away.
The mysterious point of light flew away into the distance since it attacked Ansule, and the direction it flew was the same direction in which the other three points of light disappeared. It carefully flew around the area enclosed by four stone pillars, gathering information about it. However, it seems that there is a problem with its communication system, and the information cannot be transmitted back. Its communication system was broken. It flew away from the area, then stopped, hovering in mid-air, and began to repair itself as a communications system.
Bang bang - two beams of light suddenly shot out of the jungle, grazed past the point of light, but still concentrated it, it shook in the air a few times, and rushed straight down, and at the same time fired a light cannon, boom - everywhere the light cannon went, all the trees were blown away. The point of light descends relatively close to the ground, searching for something that attacks it.
A steel arm pierced through the dirt and grabbed the point of light in one fell swoop, and the palm of his hand lit up with a hot white light, destroying the point of light. It turns out that this point of light is just a spherical detector, equipped with a miniature light cannon, which can blast open the surface, after all, it is in search of the source stone. It is unusually sensitive to fluctuations in the source force. It may have been injured in a previous thunderstorm, causing some confusion in the system, causing it to bombard and extract samples as soon as it senses fluctuations in the source force.
After destroying all of its systems, the machine's fingers suddenly changed to multiple tools, and it was flexibly disassembled. Although the detector is small, some parts of its body are still useful.
The metal fingers slowly clenched, and a cold mechanical voice sounded: "The transformation is complete." ā
Ansu and Li Kai searched downstream along the lowlands, but after several days, they still found no trace of Simon. Both of them had a heavy heart. This is the end of the lowlands, with rolling jungle in front of it. In the past few days, another torrential rain has wiped out all the traces that were already scarce. They spent several more days searching the low-lying jungle and found nothing.
"What to do? Captain? Li Kai leaned on the wooden stick that opened the way, took a few breaths and said. After so many days, he still didn't get anything at all, which made him very discouraged, and the thought that Simon had been killed would come up from time to time, and more often recently.
Ansu carved an arrow into a tall tree to indicate the direction in which they were heading, and if they were still there, they would definitely come to them.
"Go southeast." Ansu raised his stick and pointed to the southeast, the lowlands were low-lying and often flooded when it rained, and it was rare for wise tribes to live there. Ansu decided to go to the southeast of the temporarily higher ground, perhaps Simon was rescued by the tribe in the jungle, or maybe he was used as their reserve food. Maybe in their opinion, Simon is no different from other animals, maybe he looks more special. Ansu hopes that this is the first case.
An Su and Li Kai walked all the way to the southeast, leaving marks along the way, so that after a few more days, this time another river appeared in front of them, but it was not a temporary river, it could be seen that the river flowed all year round, its banks were covered with dead branches and leaves, the bottom of the water was deposited with black silt, and occasionally some fish could be seen swimming under the water.
