Chapter 1: Rainy Night
"Huh?" When Anchen opened his eyes again, his consciousness returned to his body, but he felt a cold to the bone. Lying on the ground weakly, there was an inexplicable feeling of pressure in his chest. The limbs are weak, and there is no strength to move even the slightest finger.
The sky was raining, and he could feel the rain pounding on him, cold droplets of water running across his cheeks. The tip of his nose smelled the smell of water and dirt mixed together, and half of his face was buried in the wet ground. Very poor body, low muscle strength, more than half of the body dysfunction, a large amount of blood loss from a wound in the waist, several minor fractures, mental fluctuations recently, and a very painful headache. I struggled to keep my eyes slightly open, my vision a little blurry on a rainy night, but I could barely tell that I was in a wood, well, it should be the edge. The surroundings are full of low shrubs, only a small tree that is more than a person tall, but there is a large forest in the distance, and there is no sign of dangerous biological activity for the time being.
It seems that I have encountered something that is not very understandable, Anchen lay motionless. Anchen was originally a native of the Earth Z country. Born as an orphan, he is cold, has low emotional intelligence, and has no friends to speak of when he lives alone since he was a child. After graduating from college, I couldn't find a job because of my poor sociability, and even if I found it, I didn't stay long, and I would quit or be fired in a few months. It wasn't until later that he was introduced to a killer by chance, well, a third-rate killer.
Halfway through the monk, I really couldn't adapt to it at the beginning. But although you shouldn't underestimate the killer profession, don't underestimate this profession either. Not everyone is so well-trained and extraordinary. Most of the time, skill isn't that important. What's more, although Anchen is relatively thin and small, he is still very good in terms of function, whether it is the degree of coordination or the ability of nervous reactions. After some training, plus some planning and tools, and an organization to help get through the relationship between the upper and lower levels and do the finishing work of post-processing, it is still very handy when assassinating some not very big targets.
It's a pity that Anchen was anxious and took an unsure order too early. Killers are not businessmen. A businessman can do whatever it takes to get 300 percent interest. But the killer will only strike if he is 100% sure. Because of this, Anchen did not escape the fate of being found in the end, and the organization treated him as an outcast for its own safety, and the police rushed into Anchen's room with a search warrant. On the day of the trial, he didn't even bring a lawyer, it didn't make sense anyway. For the sake of safety, even if the police don't catch important evidence, the organization will definitely let him be convicted of all the crimes. Of course, he was convicted of murder and the bullet ended up in his eyebrow.
It was pitch black in front of him, his body was unconscious, who knows, he actually crossed over when he opened his eyes once. It's really not something that people can easily understand, but Anchen still calmly accepted this situation, after all, it's better than dead.
"Uh-huh." An Chen gritted his teeth and propped up his upper body, and the wound on his waist was in severe pain, and he had to be bandaged quickly, otherwise his second death would not be far away if he lost too much blood. Lowering his head An Chen was stunned for a moment, he was wearing a rag shirt, and the wound on his waist was about ten centimeters, of course, this was not the point, An Chen found that there were two small bulges on his chest, and through the neckline, he could also see the white and tender skin inside and the shallow groove of the first scale. Raising his hand, the palm was small, the fingers were slender, and the creamy skin was still stained with dirty muddy water.
An Chen frowned, the female body. It's not that there is any discrimination, the problem is that Anchen, as a man, is not familiar with his current body at all. Looking up at the barren surroundings, the chances of survival were a little smaller.
Forget it, An Chen sighed secretly and found the corner of his clothes that was barely a little cleaner. Endure the pain on your body, tear them into strips of cloth, and then tie up the short strips of cloth to make a longer "bandage". It's dirty, it's a little dirty, and it's barely used, which can delay bleeding somewhat, and I just hope that it won't get infected. Laboriously tie the "bandage".
"Ho!" Holding on to the trees beside him, Anchen stood up a little unsteadily. The rain is still falling, and the body temperature is continuing to drop.
Standing in place, he oh no, now it's her, gasped. Now analyze the situation, the wound on the waist is a knife wound, which is artificially man-made due to the exclusion of natural causes. There were minor abrasions on the wrist area and marks of a fall on the knee. She must have had a few falls at that time. Emotionally unstable, because I should have seen something that was difficult to accept. Wearing rags, it is obvious that he is not a wealthy family, and the age of the body is probably between 16 and 19 years old. When I woke up, I was lying down, so she must have been running from her back.
An Chen looked back at a highland cliff behind her, about 4 meters high, and the angle to the ground was about 50 degrees, with her injured physical state, it was impossible to choose this terrain to climb, so she fell from above.
The blood on the ground is reddish-brown, the red blood cells have not been completely destroyed, the temperature around is about 25 degrees Celsius, because of the barrier of the highland cliffs, there is only a relatively weak direct sunlight during the day, and it is now raining at night It is difficult to guess the specific time, but she will not stay here for more than twenty-four hours.
It was obvious that for whatever reason, she was in a situation where she was being hunted and killed, and she would not be out of pursuit for more than twenty-four hours. And judging by the fact that she is alone. Either she went out alone, or the people around her should have died. Anchen prefers the latter, because only in this way can this weak woman run so far in case of injury, and someone should be helping her stall for time. She ran here, not paying attention to her feet, and then slid down the ground and landed in the bushes.
It's not scientific, An Chen frowned. Heavy bleeding in the waist and abdomen, coupled with the mental state of urgent instability, the heart beats faster, the blood flow is faster, and the bleeding is greater. Slipped from high ground, suffered multiple abrasions on his body, several minor fractures, and finally fell into a coma for several hours. Theoretically, I should have died a long time ago, how did I survive with such a body? Can you still stand up? Anchen raised his eyebrows and looked at his pale right hand, I took back what I said just now, so that I can survive, and it is not the same as playing to get out of this place.
Anchen continued to think about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and gave up climbing the high ground to get out of the jungle, but turned around and limped into the depths of the jungle. It is indeed possible to encounter wild beasts in the forest, and it is true that you can find people faster by climbing the high ground and returning the same way, but if you are in a state of being hunted down. Now I should only be fleeing temporarily, if I climb the high ground I will risk being caught, and if I am unlucky, it will be no different from death. In such a situation, people are far more dangerous than animals. In addition, he is penniless, and if he finds a crowd, it depends on whether he can meet good people with good luck, otherwise he can only wait to die, starve to death, or die of illness.
If you go deeper into the jungle, firstly, you can get rid of the pursuit more completely, and secondly, because the forest has a greater chance of finding food, and now that you are hungry, the necessity of food is indispensable.
"Tick, tick." The rain was not heavy, and the leaves made a ticking sound while hitting the branches. Wet all over, Anchen covered his waist and walked into the forest tiredly.
The ground was very wet, and I walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, and from time to time I had to stop and hold on to the trunk of the tree to catch my breath. It was completely dark, and there was no lighting tool, so I could only try to move forward by the faint light of the moon and stars. She found that there was more to this forest than just a forest, she had already encountered many swamps. It's a swampy jungle, and if you're not careful, you really won't even have corpses left.
It's been four hours since I came out of the bottom of the highlands, and it should be late at night, around twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, if this hellish place clocks in the same way as Earth.
During this time, Anchen found a fruit that grew in low bushes, similar to apples but not on trees. When he was extremely hungry, An Chen didn't care whether it was poisonous or not, and ate four of them fiercely to satisfy his hunger, although it was a little sour, it was not poisonous. On the way, I drank some rain to quench my thirst, and found a mutated half-meter-wide python on the surface of the swamp, with a total length of about twenty meters, but it seemed to have just eaten a full meal, so it was not interested in Anchen. There were also several huge blood-sucking insects lying on the side of the road on the carcass of an unknown animal sucking blood, and if they were not alarmed, they should not be too dangerous.
Now she is very tired and needs enough sleep, but unfortunately there is no warm, dry and comfortable environment nearby. Anchen walked forward a few dozen meters, and I don't know if it was a joke from God, there was a huge tree in front of him, and there was a spacious tree hole in the trunk. It's a bit small to say it's spacious, but it's huge.
Anchen pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly, obviously, this is a beast cave, a bear cave? Even more dangerous animal caves. The danger is absolute, but the body must have enough rest now, try your luck and see if the guy is not at home first. If it's not there, then borrow it for one night, and if it's here, we'll turn around and leave, and don't disturb its rest.
Thinking, step by step. The entrance to the cave is four meters high and three meters wide, and the interior is even more "spacious". The cave was dry, and the ground was covered with leaves of unknown plants, soft and withered without moisture. There is enough light transmission, and the moonlight shines in just through the entrance of the cave, illuminating everything in the cave beautifully. There are no creatures in the cave, which is good, and it means that Anchen may be able to rest here for the night. Go to the corner of the cave and lean against the inner wall. Anchen checked the condition, and the wound on his waist was already showing signs of inflammation due to the rain and dirty bandages. I moved my body uncomfortably, and then I didn't care, and it's useless to care now.
It is important now to maintain a stable mental state and not let the situation continue to deteriorate. Lie down, grab the leaves of unknown plants that have withered around you, cover yourself, and smear yourself with muddy water on various scent spots. Then I dug up some dry dirt on the ground and spread it on the blades of grass.
If you have to spend the night here, such rudimentary precautions are the last thing you can do. Even if the owner of this cave returns, he probably won't find out about her existence instantly. Covering up the smell on his body and hiding himself is all Anchen can do now, and this is the only way to go.
After a night of escape and high tension, Anchen was already unbearable and fell asleep.
