Chapter 478: Midnight
The day in the primeval forest is damp and stuffy, and at night, it becomes a little cold, Zhang Can has the energy to protect himself from water droplets, and he doesn't feel that Su Xun, who is on duty at night, can only add some dead branches to the bonfire from time to time.
"Brother, can't you sleep?" Su Xun saw that Zhang Can was just taking a nap, so he got up again and came to accompany him, so he asked lightly, for a long night, he was always a little lonely by the bonfire, but it was not that Su Xun was timid, to people like them, not to mention keeping vigil by the campfire, even if he was asked to go to the pile of dead people and go to sleep with a swagger, he might not be able to sleep.
"Well, there's a bit of a problem, I can't figure it out on my own, and I want to talk to you." Zhang Can did not hide it: "What I want to ask you is, what do you think of your feelings for a person?" "Liu Xiaoqin's matter has always been a lingering shadow in Zhang Can's heart, although he is a manly man, he can afford to put it down, but how can it be said that he can put it down, he can put it down immediately, if it is really like that, others must not say that you have no heart and lungs, and you are impersonal.
Su Xun smiled, "Brother, to be honest, I have never talked about feelings seriously, I have never talked about feelings seriously, it is too strict, so strict that I dare not touch it." Su Xun is a person born in a red family, although in life, some "unruly", but the most is that he does not return home at night with a few friends, chatting and drinking in bars and dance halls, some things at a higher level, Su Xun is very clean, if something like that, once it happens, not to mention his future, it is the old man's pass, he can't get by.
"Zhang Can, I also understand," Su Xun called him by his name, "I don't want to ask about some things about you, but Su Xue is a good girl, and I also know that you will not disappoint her, but you can use it for two, three, or even four." I am in no way in favor of it. When he said these words, Su Xun didn't have a smile on his face, but he really hoped that Zhang Can could be more dedicated and put all his thoughts on Su Xue.
"Big brother, I understand what you mean," Zhang Can nodded, "No matter what the circumstances, Su Xue is in my heart, she is the first." ”
"Okay, you better go sleep for a while," Su Xun threw a few dead branches into the fire without raising his head, "Two big men, this late and midnight romance, others will think it's ...... when they hear it."
Before Su Xun finished speaking, a creepy strange scream sounded, the cry was extremely weird, like a hundred and ten bison, mercilessly slaughtered at the same time, before dying, let out a desperate scream, for a moment, as if the heaven and the earth were all that kind, weird, piercing sound, the cry was endless, as if it came from between heaven and earth, the mountains should be harmonious, so that people could not distinguish the direction of the source of the sound at all.
Su Xun, Zhang Can and a few of them, although their psychological qualities are good, they are still a little frightened by the gloomy cries that are full of gloom in the world, although Xiao Li Xiaoyang and they are asleep, but when they hear the shouts, they are like hearing the military horn, and in less than half a minute, the four of them are standing next to Su Xun together.
Zhang Can immediately used his perspective eye to see through the surroundings, in the black and white color world, within more than 20 meters around, but did not find any skeletons of large animals that could move, because the camp was surrounded by big trees hugged by several people, Zhang Can's perspective eyes could only see through more than 20 meters, and no matter how far away, it was blurred.
Xiao Yang in the scream, slightly closed his eyes, sniffing the air, trying to sniff out the source of the cry from the air, generally speaking, if it can make such an amazing call, if it is an animal, then its smell, will definitely spread far away, Xiao Yang sniffed hard, just to make sure, such an amazing "thing", what is it, whether it is nearby, whether it will pose a threat to them, this is also a skill of Xiao Yang, but it is not as accurate as Zhang Can's perspective eyes.
Su Xun turned on the infrared telescope and looked at it back and forth, but there was no result, if it was a hot-blooded animal, lurking nearby, it would naturally not escape Su Xun's eyes, but the infrared telescope had little effect on cold-blooded animals.
Zhang Can, Su Xun, and Xiao Yang searched with all their might, and the fourth and fifth and Xiao Li quickly prepared to defend against the attack of the big beasts.
The screams rang out for several minutes, and in these few minutes, as if centuries had passed, one by one they were so depressed that they did not dare to make a sound, and when they were about to collapse, like the screams of a bison, they stopped abruptly.
This cry came violently, and it went quickly, and it came out of thin air, and it stopped, and suddenly it was gone, and as soon as the cry went, the forest immediately became a dead silence, and even the cries of mosquitoes, insects, ants, and beasts were gone, and even in the entire forest, there was not even a trace of wind, and the only thing I could hear was my heart, which was beating non-stop.
Zhang Can and the others couldn't help but wonder if they were still on this noisy earth, why did they seem to have arrived in a world without sound.
If they had any scruples about what they had just screamed, this silence like time standing still was the fear that made people want to go crazy. Many people do not feel terrible in the face of death, but they have a natural fear of the unknown, and people's fear is originally out of the unknown.
After a long time, Su Xun took a long breath and said astringently: "It's okay, everyone go back to sleep," it is strange to say, Su Xun's words were finished, and the ears of several people were immediately filled with all kinds of sounds, the shallow chanting of crickets, the howl of hungry wolves to the moon, and even the breeze blowing through the treetops, that kind of thin chirping, is also endless. It makes people feel like they're back in the world all of a sudden.
After such a fuss, where are a few people still sleepy, the alert is lifted, it does not mean that there is no danger in this primeval forest, a few people simply took advantage of the firelight, found some dry branches and dead leaves nearby, made the bonfire prosperous, sat down around the fire.
Xiao Yang carefully checked it again, and the medicine rope he laid down was not until he was sure that the ants would not get in, and he put the medicine bag hanging on the branch and pierced a few more small holes to make the medicine smell bigger.
The large beasts that are active at night have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the fourth child distributed a copy of the dry food in the bag, and everyone distributed a copy of it, and it was better to eat something and drink some boiling water for a long night, than to be bored over there in vain.
Just after eating the dry food given by the old four, when the boiling water didn't have time to drink a sip, a very smelly smell suddenly floated over, the smell, like a rotting corpse, and with an indescribable fishy smell, the smell is extremely strange, a few more sips, the whole person is dizzy, upset and chest tightness, almost want to vomit.
Zhang Can and Su Xun endured the nausea, observed the surrounding dozens of meters, and found no abnormality, they couldn't help but be puzzled, where did this smell come from?
Xiao Yang smelled this smell, immediately took out a few small pills from his backpack, divided a few of them, and took them with warm water, after a while, a few people felt a little more comfortable, dizziness and swelling were gone, and they didn't want to vomit, but the smell was getting stronger and stronger, and it only made people feel that they had fallen into a pit full of maggots and carrion, Xiao Yang gave the gas masks to everyone, but still couldn't alleviate the smell.
Through the mask, Zhang Can asked Xiao Yang angrily: "Brother Xiao Yang, what kind of flavor is this, so powerful!" ”
Xiao Yang took some medicinal powder from his backpack and sprinkled it heavily around the fire, then beckoned a few brothers, leaned closer to the fire first, and then replied to Zhang Can: "Brother Zhang, this may be a miasma, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be fatal,"
The so-called 'miasma' is a kind of poisonous gas produced by the hot and humid air in the tropical or subtropical mountain forests, as well as the corpses of poisonous snakes and insects, and the fallen leaves. The main reason is that there is no one to effectively dispose of the dead carcasses of animals, and the tropical temperatures are too high, which creates favorable conditions for the generation of miasma.
"However, I don't understand, miasma usually appears when the temperature is high at noon," Xiao Yang said with some confusion: "How could this miasma suddenly appear in the middle of the night?" ”
The others were silent, if the earth-shattering roar before them was a fear of the unknown, then the inexplicable smell should be a deep awe of nature.
Seeing that several other people were silent, Xiao Yang deliberately made a joke: "The famous physician Zhang Jiebin's "Jingyue Quanshu" in the late Ming Dynasty said a way to avoid miasma, he said, 'The division and brigade go deep into the miasma, and all of them are infected. The only battalion was safe and sound, and when asked why, everyone took the cigarette, and it was spread all over the place. Now in the southwest, there is no distinction between the old and the young, and there is no time to interrogate',"
"That is to say, in the future, my brothers will have to smoke, and smoking can prevent the epidemic of miasma, hehe, science is not scientific, let's not comment, everyone knows it. It's just that the next time I hid in the toilet and smoked, I had to yell at my wife with confidence: 'The toilet is full of miasma, isn't this a miasma?' ’”
On the one hand, Zhang Can admired Xiao Yang's broad knowledge of medicine, and on the other hand, he thought that if it was the same as what he said; hid in her toilet and smoked, and was about to be discovered by Su Xue, and she told her confidently: "The toilet is full of miasma, isn't this a miasma?" When she said this, what would Su Xue's expression be?
Will you unceremoniously give yourself a quit smoking order, or speak softly, list one hundred or two hundred harms of smoking on a piece of paper, and let yourself quit smoking by reading it every day, thinking of this Zhang Can couldn t help laughing, why are you so embarrassed, you never smoke, but if you have the chance, you must try, look at Su Xue s expression.
About a few other people had similar thoughts, so everyone laughed lowly.
It was only the first day I entered the primeval forest, and I encountered such a strange thing, and it seems that tonight is not destined to be safe.
