Chapter Ninety-One: Deep Mountains
When Bai Xiaoran woke up, she subconsciously covered her eyes, the sun was shining directly on her face, and the sound of waves was in her ears.
She struggled to her feet, and found herself on a rocky beach, with the sea in front of her and the rolling mountains behind her. Her right leg was aching, but she didn't care, and her mind was like a movie, subconsciously going over the last thing she remembered.
In the pouring rain, she was picked up by him, and after running wildly for a distance, she suddenly stepped into the air, and the two of them fell from the slippery deck into the sea, and the dull crash of the container came from behind...... The freighter that burst into flames was like a half-headstone, and soon it was erected on the surface of the ocean, and the scene of the explosion in the bilge was like the end of the world. Thinking of her cousin, who was still in the cabin, she had almost lost all her thinking skills, and was dragged by him to float in the waves, away from the cargo ship.
At this moment, Chen Mo was lying beside him, his eyes were closed, and his face was like death. Bai Xiaoran pushed him and shouted in a dumb voice: "Brother Chen Mo, Brother Chen Mo!" ”
Chen Mo snorted and slowly woke up.
Bai Xiaoran calmed down a little and wanted to help him up, but his right leg hurt so much that he broke out when he exerted his strength, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Chen Mo looked around, and his gaze finally fixed on the girl's lap. The whole right calf is swollen very high, and there are rusty steel bars stuck in the belly of the leg, and the little finger is thick, and it is deeply trapped in the flesh, and I don't know if it was swept out by the explosion last night.
The scene of the fire clouds still makes Chen Mo's heart palpitate, and the surrounding sea is full of dense debris into the water. He could only turn his back in the direction of the sunken ship, and while digging the dog, he protected Bai Xiaoran in his arms, but he didn't expect that the other party was still injured.
The lightning-illuminated outline of the coastline saved two people's lives. This is the farthest distance that Chen Mo has swum so big, fortunately, Bai Xiaoran has learned to swim, if she is a landlubber, maybe the ending will be different now.
When he was pressed to the wound, Bai Xiaoran's whole body trembled, and tears swirled in the frame of his eyes. Chen Mo stared at the yellow spots of rust on the head of the steel bar, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "I have to pull it out, can you hold it?" ”
"Brother Chen Mo, I'm not afraid." Bai Xiaoran gritted his teeth and replied, closing his eyes and not daring to look again.
The clothes on her body had been half-dried by the sun, and her white little hands were wrinkled by the seawater, and her complexion was extremely haggard. Chen Mo touched her head with pity, gently held the steel bar, and jerked it out.
The angle at which the steel bar pierced should have not hurt the bone, but it was longer than Chen Mo had imagined. After completely extracting the leg muscles, a stream of black blood gushed out. Bai Xiaoran's eyes widened, his body suddenly straightened, and he fainted.
Chen Mo tore the hem of her clothes, tied her wounds tightly to stop the bleeding, and her eyebrows were full of melancholy.
Chen Mo rummaged through the bottom of his pocket and didn't find anything, even the anti-poison finger sleeve and Luo Li's ring were lost in the process of struggling for his life after falling into the sea. Thinking of the plot of the adventure novel, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, what kind of fish hook, match, dagger, why is there not even a hair around Lao Tzu?
The sea is blue, and the ferocity of last night is no longer there. Chen Mo couldn't tell where the wreck was, thinking of Zhuo Yitian's big proud eyes and Tie Niu's smiling appearance, he didn't believe that the two lives were so simply gone.
Just as words like "weakness" and "resignation" would never appear in Zhuo Yitian, Chen Mo felt that she would definitely do something when the freighter sank, even if it was only her last breath.
Chen Mo never believed in gods and Buddhas, but believed in her.
This beach is very different from what you see on TV, there is no sand and there are no edible things like crab shells. The huge physical exertion made Chen Mo feel hungry, and it became more and more unbearable. The coastline was very straight, he walked for a while, stood on the high ground and looked, and found that he couldn't find anything other than the rolling mountains, and it seemed that only himself and Bai Xiaoran were left in this world.
The process of surviving on the ship is nothing more than fighting with people, and now the opponent has been replaced by the sky. Just how to solve the stomach problem was tricky enough, and what made Chen Mo even more headache was that Bai Xiaoran's injury was very likely to worsen.
Returning to the little girl, he touched the other party's pocket, and the only thing he got was a piece of paper that had been blistered and shrunk into a ball. In the warm sunlight, he casually spread out the paper and found that it appeared to be a map of the cabin's topography, with a few blurry small print next to it.
"Bai Xiaoran, come on."
Chen Mo was stunned, looking at the girl's pale cheeks, his eyes becoming strange little by little.
An hour passed, and Bai Xiaoran opened his eyes. Chen Mo was carrying her behind him, climbing up the steep slope of the mountainside, where the shady forest was overgrown with thatch and thorns, as well as a canopy of unnamed plants. In March, the mountains are extremely hot, the humus layer is steaming with a muddy smell, and the distant birdsong makes the dense forest seem even more lonely and far-reaching.
Chen Mo walked very slowly, holding a green bamboo that was obviously just broken in his hand, and kept tapping and beating in the grass.
"Brother Chen Mo, are you going to tell fortunes?" Bai Xiaoran smiled weakly and asked in his ear.
"I dare to be poor when I wake up, I don't pretend to be blind. Don't you understand the truth of scaring the snake, bamboo is the ancestor of the snake, one thing is one thing, and the snake has to slip as soon as it smells of bamboo. Chen Mo deliberately made her happy, and posed and said, "The old man has a snake beating stick in his hand, so Xiao Shitai doesn't have to worry about being bitten." ”
Bai Xiaoran really "poofed", thinking of Zhuo Yitian, but he was stunned and shed tears.
Chen Mo felt the water drops falling on the back of his neck, and his face turned slightly pale.
After a long time, Bai Xiaoran snorted and forced himself to calm down, "Brother Chen Mo, where are we going?" ”
"Behind is the sea, and there will be people going forward. There is no other way but to climb the mountain. Chen Mo replied.
"Are you tired, I'll come down and walk by myself." Bai Xiaoran was a little distressed when he heard him panting heavily.
Chen Mo shook his head, his feet did not stop, "You are all a one-legged mouse, how can you walk by yourself." I'm not tired, I'm just a little fucking hungry......"
Bai Xiaoran helped him wipe the sweat off his face and muttered, "Brother Chen Mo, I'm really useless, I can't do anything well, it will only drag you down." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if that steel bar is stuck in my leg, I might have peed my pants." Chen Mo said.
This time, Bai Xiaoran couldn't laugh again.
She watched Chen Mo be shot several times with her own eyes, and the latter had not fallen until now, which was undoubtedly beyond her comprehension, and could even be called a miracle. At this moment, the only hope she had was for a miracle to survive, and that he could finally walk out of the mountain unharmed, even if it was just one person.
Chen Mo was willing to rest after crossing the first mountain range, and really relied on the bamboo ancestor to hit two snakes in the grass, one of which was the thickness of a cup.
Chen Mo took off Bai Xiaoran's hairpin, sharpened the iron pieces on the stone, peeled the snakeskin, and cut the meat into small pieces. Bai Xiaoran's face was as pale as earth just by looking at it, and where was he willing to eat raw snake meat, seeing Chen Mo's eyes glaring, he had to open his small mouth. However, as soon as the cold and fishy piece of meat was stuffed between her teeth, she vomited and cried breathlessly, "Brother Chen Mo is a savage!" I don't eat it, I don't eat it when I die! ”
The wound on Bai Xiaoran's leg is extremely deep, and once it starts to become inflamed, I am afraid that it will not even be able to survive for a few days. Chen Mo only hoped that she could eat more now and lay a foundation, but he couldn't help but be angry when he saw this, picked her up like a kitten with one hand, and slapped her twice on the buttocks, "I'll see if you spit out another one?!" ”
When he was a child, he often used this trick to deal with Chen Jing, and at this moment, the repetition of the old trick is a great wish. Bai Xiaoran only heard two crisp sounds, so frightened that he couldn't even blink his eyes, and finally reacted, Xiaoxiao's pretty face was so red as if he was about to drip blood, and he had no other thoughts except to obey.
"Aren't there any wild fruits?" Bai Xiaoran swallowed a few pieces of snake meat with regurgitation, and looked at Chen Mo with tears in his eyes.
Chen Mo sneered and swallowed the snake gall bladder that was peeled out, "And the watermelon, do you want to eat it?" ”
That night, the two camped on the side of the mountain stream, and Chen Mo picked some banana leaves, half cushioned and half covered, and helped Bai Xiaoran find a place to sleep. When the little girl was snorting, Chen Mo looked at her increasingly swollen calf, thought for a moment, felt for the hair card iron piece, and cut an extremely deep wound on his wrist.
The Ares robot's cellular repair was the only thing he could count on, but there was no blood coming out of the wound when it opened. He was stunned, and made another stroke, but there was still no blood.
Chen Mo didn't know the severity of the gunshot wound this time, in fact, the endless repair work of the Ares robot had already reached a white-hot level, and even the mutant devourers all participated in cleaning up the necrotic cells in his body. Comprehensive defense is the highest command issued by the nano platform at this stage, and the blood vessels have been blocked at the same time as Chen Mo cuts the flesh and skin, and the two robots have invariably ignored the host's ontological will.
Chen Mo was dumbfounded.
originally planned to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor and copy Luo Li's method, but he didn't expect that even blood would come out. The ring has been lost, how can I save Bai Xiaoran now?
In the middle of the night, Chen Mo was awakened by a slight noise, and by the sparse moonlight in the forest, he saw Bai Xiaoran standing up with difficulty.
"What are you up for? Are you hungry? Chen Mo asked. He touched the wild eggs in the afternoon, which were relatively easier for the little girl to accept than snake meat, but it was really not very hungry.
"I ...... I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. Bai Xiaoran's tone was a little strange.
Chen Mo was inexplicable, thought for a while, and then understood, "Do you want to go to the toilet?" I'll help you. ”
Bai Xiaoran has never been so ashamed, the water in the mountain stream is very clean, she drank a lot, and when she woke up at this time, she wanted to solve the problem quietly, but she knew that she was discovered by the other party as soon as she made a move.
"Brother Chen Mo, you go farther, farther away!" Bai Xiaoran stood behind the grass and refused to squat down, just afraid that the slightest movement would be heard by the other party, it would be really shameless.
Chen Mo took another dozen steps as he spoke, and suddenly cast his gaze into the depths of the dense forest.
It was dark and dark, as if there was no bottomless space, and nothing could be seen. But in the [***] perception that had just awakened, Chen Mo had clearly captured a behemoth. It was three meters long from head to tail, and the entire body outline was also crimson, jumping with the brilliant flame of the wild surname's life, and its blue eyes were looking in this direction.
The mountains around the mine have no plantains, and there are no vines that snake like pythons. Chen Mo knew that he was far away from Yancheng, maybe far away from the motherland, but he was not mentally prepared to encounter such a huge beast in the mountains.
The injury was only under control, and the massive blood flow caused the whole body to run out of oil. He relied on the strength of his will to carry Bai Xiaoran here on his back. When he has no way to go, he finds his own way, which is his habitual way of survival, and now the innate threat sense between species has made him find that he is facing a real bloodthirsty overlord.
With a soft sound of "sand", the layer of fallen leaves was moved, and Chen Mo looked in another direction.
A second head has just been drilled there.
