Chapter 114: Burning Flames

The sound of gunfire and the miserable cries of the animals made the animals a little farther away immediately explode the group, no longer wandering, or stabbing diagonally to other places, or turning around and running back, the scene was chaotic, and in only a minute or two, hundreds of corpses and struggling fellow species on the ground were left behind, and disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the fire can already be seen in the distance, and the fire lit here has also burned thousands of meters away, except for the dead trees on the top of the mountain are still burning fiercely, most of the living trees are only burning out of leaves and branches, the surface of the dead leaves on the ground is burned out, and the dark fire is still spreading below, like magma, continuing to burn under the ashes.

It seems that there is no danger, but Dong Ku knows that when the fire comes, these over-burned trees will burn again, and the trees that burn again will burn longer, and then it will be a real long wait, and now all that is done is to avoid instantaneous violent burning, evacuate the surrounding oxygen, and suffocate them to death.

The smoke gradually became heavier, and the temperature was already rising around him, Dong Ku put away the shell gun and ordered: "Put away the gun, take out their respective dagger sharp knives, let's go!" ”

The team members didn't know what to do at this time, but seeing that Dong Ku was so calm, he even calculated that the animals would gather around, and naturally he would not disobey Dong Ku's order, although he didn't know what Lu Dao was doing with a sharp knife, but they put away their guns, took out sharp knives, and ran towards the river behind Dong Ku.

"Let's go downstream!" As he spoke, Dong Ku pulled up a towel to cover his mouth and nose, and ran downstream with the river water that did not reach his feet.

Everyone followed behind without hesitation, jumping into the river one after another, and running downstream with a puff of water mist!

At this time, the gasoline that had not been cleaned up in the upper reaches of the river had already caused the fire to go upwind, burning all the dead grass around the river, and it was spreading to the land and to the hillside.

The fire in the distance grew bigger and bigger, and flames dozens of meters high burst into the sky. The strong convection of cold and heat caused the original wind direction to lose its direction, swirling east and west, and the flames followed the wind everywhere, quickly igniting the surrounding mountains and forests.

The moment the flames arrived, the leaves of those living trees rolled and hula and burned fiercely. The fire is big and there is no wet wood, which is fully proven at this moment.

The beasts and animals that had been running before, under the engulfment of flames of tens of meters in a second, could not turn around, they were engulfed in flames one after another, wailing bitterly, and then there was no sound in a moment.

And their howls could not penetrate the walls of fire, and the crackling sound was drowned out by the whining of the flames as they rolled up, let alone their screams.

Just when Dong Ku and the others ran thousands of meters away, and there were still thousands of meters away from the fire in front of them, Dong Ku in front stood in the thick smoke and stopped, turned around and shouted: "Defend the upstream with good physical strength!" With a roar, he returned to the back of the line with the ronin blood-patterned knife, standing in the knee-deep water, staring upstream.

The team members stopped and were stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly, carrying their respective thick-backed sharp knives, facing upstream, and standing in a column with Dong Ku.

Shui Linglong and a few people with relatively poor physical strength were squeezed behind the human wall, but more than a dozen people still carried sharp knives in their hands, and like Dong Ku and them, they defended upstream.

In the process of defense, rats and snakes swam down from time to time, but fortunately, the river is more than ten meters wide, and the number of these rats is not much, they are just swimming desperately, and they don't pay attention to Dong Ku and others who are standing in the river to measure.

As time passed, the smoke became heavier, and the river began to see rats, snakes, and rabbits and other small animals in the river. Most of the animals that can't do water drown, and those that don't die also float on the surface of the water, becoming rats and snakes. Lifebuoy for water rats.

"Everyone, get ready!"

As a wave of rats rushed over, Dong Ku shouted in the smoke.

Soon, the river was full of all kinds of small animals, and even some tree chickens that could not fly long distances were floating on the water.

These rats were different from the scattered ones before, and they also knew that they let go of Dong Ku and the others, they went down the river, came ashore from time to time, walked around a little, and found that there were still embers and temperature, so they jumped into the water again. For a time, the water surface was churning, and tens of thousands of rat heads and snake heads were crowded, densely occupying the entire river surface, rushing to Dong Ku and others like a tidal wave.

The moment the tide approached, Dong Ku's blood-streaked ronin knife swung up.

In the pop, the rats were cut in half, and the heads of pine snakes, soil balls, and pheasants were cut off from their necks.

At this time, the team members did not need to give any more orders, they waved their sharp knives in their hands to cut the approaching corpses and live rats and snakes, as long as they saw a shadow on the water, they immediately slashed down; In this way, it still can't stop them from climbing up their bodies and making a mess.

As the sharp knives fell one after another, in an instant, patches of corpses floated on the surface of the turbid and dusty river, and headless snakes rolled by themselves, the scene was not intense, but extremely bloody.

After slashing for more than ten minutes in a row, Dong Ku's physical strength was seriously overdrawn, and in the absence of oxygen, even Shui Linglong and the others, who did not exercise much behind them, were out of breath, holding their knees in one hand and waving their dagger knives in the other.

The smoke is getting thicker and thicker at this time, and there are no animals swimming in a large area on the river, even if there is an occasional mouse or a snake, it is also physically exhausted, floating on the water and dying, it is estimated that the long-distance running and swimming exhausted the physical strength, and the escape into the river is also unable to swim.

"Let's go!"

Feeling the temperature getting higher and higher, Dong Ku gasped and roared.

Carrying sharp knives, everyone staggered behind Dong Ku and walked towards the deep water downstream.

At this time, their admiration for Dong Ku was beyond words. Let's not talk about shooting those big animals before, let's just say that these rats and snakes in front of you, once they find something to climb on the water, whether you are alive or dead, they all rush to get closer, trying to find a foothold in the water to survive. As a result, even if rats and snakes don't care about attacking people, they will be crushed in the water and eventually drowned. Besides, who will guarantee that they will not attack?

Everyone gasped, and although the walking speed was not fast, it didn't take twenty minutes to reach a position where the water was slow and deep enough. The water here is about 1.45 meters deep, and everyone can retract their heads into the water by squatting a little bit without worrying about the water washing people away.

At this time, the two sides of the river bank had burned again, and the fire, aided by the wind, burned to the place where Dong Ku had lit in advance, and set the trees that had been burned again and burned fiercely.

The rise of the flames caused the temperature around to rise sharply, and even the river was no longer cold, although it was not yet hot, but it was close to body temperature.

"Blanket over your head and nose against the water!!"

Dong Ku shouted as he soaked the blanket from his backpack in the water.

The team members had difficulty breathing, but they could still hear the order, and they all followed suit, soaking the military blanket over their heads, so that their noses, which were covered by towels, were close to the water.

It was only then that everyone realized that the nose close to the water made the originally suffocated breathing smooth, and the lungs were comfortable, and the brain was awake at the same time.

They were all surprised, and they didn't know why, but they didn't need to give any more orders, they all pressed their noses against the flowing river, and their slow breath was considered fresh air at this time.

They didn't know that the oxygen in the water would be released in the churning of the river, and although it was very little, it was still possible to keep it from being hypoxic.

In the surrounding area, because of the fierce burning, the oxygen has been evacuated, and even if it is not burned to death by the fire, it will suffocate due to lack of oxygen. This has been confirmed in later generations, this kind of fire is different from the grassland, the burning time is short, as long as it is ignited, it is a few days and nights, after all, the trees are thicker than the grass. In this way, the oxygen required for combustion will make the flames almost anaerobic around them, and the people and animals in them will not necessarily be burned to death, but most of them will die due to lack of oxygen.

The temperature continued to rise, and Dong Ku and the others who were soaked in the water already felt that the water temperature was rising. Covering your head without delay, you can see a small area, and from time to time there will be dead fish floating on the surface of the water, which are obviously due to the high temperature in the water, lack of oxygen or scalding.

At this time, in addition to breathing difficulties, the saddest thing is that the temperature is too high and dizziness, even in the water, you can feel the water temperature of the upper body is slightly hot, if it is not cool enough below the calf, everyone will really think that this is a bathhouse, although most of them have never entered the bathhouse.

At this time, there were no animal carcasses in the water, except for floating fish, and the burned branches of the trees by the river went down the river, but there was no reason for the people hiding in the water to enjoy the sauna to be hit or anything, so it was quite safe.

Shui Linglong leaned close to Dong Ku, she was dizzy, and her body was shaky. The severe lack of oxygen made her almost unable to stand, and her nose was immersed in water from time to time. As a result, the already thin oxygen could not continue to enter the lungs, making her hypoxia even worse.

Dong Ku felt close to his delicate body, he didn't have time to experience the fragrance, he observed everyone from time to time, so as to avoid someone fainting and drowning again.

As soon as Shui Linglong's state appeared, he noticed it, he took a deep breath, lifted the military blanket and yelled: "Everyone stay awake!" It's safe to survive these hours!! After roaring, he smoothed the military blanket he was holding in his hand, covered it with Shui Linglong, supported a space under it with one hand, and supported Shui Linglong's head with the other hand, so that her nose was level on the water.

The thug Shui Linglong felt Dong Ku's movements, and her consciousness gradually cleared up as the oxygen continued to enter her lungs. However, she did not hold the military blanket by herself, but let go of her hand, slowly hugged Dong Ku's waist, and her body pressed against it, leaning comfortably in Dong Ku's arms, and her face was tightly attached to Dong Ku's cheek.

Dong Kuzhi said that she might be close to a coma at this time, so he didn't dare to push her away, letting the two soft balls squeeze on his chest, and he freed his hands in the accelerated beating of his heart, and propped up the general blanket higher, so that the two of them could breathe more oxygen under the blanket.

The team members were all slightly better, although they were also groggy, but they all maintained their positions, holding military blankets, with their backs to the river, breathing hard and slowly. Hearing Dong Ku's shout, everyone was conscious, and the general blanket was lifted higher, leaving only a gap in front of him, and he breathed hard.

In the more than an hour they were suffering, the surrounding fire reached the peak of burning, and the same was true of the entire black fish bubble, and the temperature was so hot that even the rocks were burned. The soil cracked, and even the living roots of the trees became accelerants in the constant heat.

In the distance of the isolation zone, the Japanese wing commanders who led the arson were also shocked at this time, they didn't expect the fire to be so fierce, but fortunately, the previous isolation zone was wide enough, even if it flew between the trees, it was difficult for the flames tens of meters long to cross the isolation zone of more than 300 meters. However, they were still doubly careful, and the soldiers and puppet soldiers who had withdrawn were now shirtless, constantly carrying water from the bottom of the distant ditch to the top of the hill, splashing it on the edge of the barrier, so as not to burn the forest that they already regarded as the property of Japan.

At this time, if there is a helicopter overlooking it, the black fish bubble is a big stove, and the whole thing is red......
