Volume 1: The Eve of Doom Chapter 39 A Narrow Encounter
Wei Yilin was lying on the river beach, blowing the cool mountain breeze, listening to the murmuring water, looking at the stars in the sky, he felt that his anxiety for days was slowly being smoothed out, and a wave of broadness slowly surged into his heart. The sky is so vast, the earth is so vast, the sky is so quiet, and the earth is so quiet.
Between heaven and earth, walking through the raging fire, walking through the cold water, walking through the dinosaurs, walking through the strong monitor lizard, the vicissitudes of the sea, the world has changed, the sea has become land, the land has become the sea, the present has become history, and the future has become the present. Thousands of years later, I wonder how the species will look at this past? Will they marvel at the silent fall of a glorious species, and look at dinosaurs as humans do today, or do they look at Goth's birds as humans do?
When our ancestors and Australopithecus were separated for the first time, do you think the Australopithecus would also think that these guys are unbelievable and unhealthy? Song Jasmine's remarks suddenly appeared in Wei Yilin's mind, which really startled him, maybe tonight's environment is too suitable for thinking about philosophy.
When people look at historical figures, they often make the mistake of blaming their predecessors with the known consequences, but this is obviously immoral, because, no matter who they are, it is impossible to see the future, even the most familiar with history, they can only predict the general course of history, if today, is really the eve of evolution, then this tide will be irreversible, and the development of vaccines will be in vain. But who can be sure that today is the eve of evolution? And how can you prove it? Or, is there any other way to prove this kind of thing besides history?
Wei Yilin gritted his teeth, got up, walked a few steps, knelt down on a gravel by the river, and started a long journey again, this rope was too strong, until the eastern sky spit out the white of the fish's belly, and a gap appeared in the rope, but this was enough to make Wei Yilin excited for a while.
Finally, before Wei Yilin almost collapsed to the ground, the rope broke, his hands slammed out along the inertia, and his body immediately lost his balance, Wei Yilin landed on his shoulders again, lying on the ground, the warm morning sun caressed his face, he let out a long breath, the feeling of freedom, it was so good.
After about five minutes, Wei Yilin finally relieved himself, stood up with his hands on the ground, he first checked the wounds on his body, there were a lot of bruises, but fortunately, it was not deep, he patted a few more pockets, Anzi and others searched his body very thoroughly, leaving him nothing except clothes.
Before moving, Wei Yilin first recalled in his mind what happened before he fainted, after they left the base, they kept going east, and when they were escorted on the road, he paid attention to his surroundings and found that the river was behind him on the left, that is, they were escorted to the southeast, and they traveled for about an hour, and then they reached the cliff above, and they also heard the sound of thin flowing water.
The sound of flowing water may come from a tributary of the Jingnan River, that is to say, follow this tributary downstream, you can find the Jingnan River, and go upstream along the Jingnan River to return to the Haoshan base.
To survive in the forest, two things are indispensable, one is a compass, and the other is a dagger. The latter is impossible to find, but the former is possible, Wei Yilin remembered the watch on Su Pingjin's wrist, and it was still on his hand - he had to go back to the bottom of the cliff and find it.
There are a lot of dead branches in the woods, but most of them break off and are no longer usable. After looking for a while, Wei Yilin found a branch about one meter long with a forked tip, which still had moisture on it, and it was relatively strong when touched.
The mountain peak has disappeared, this is a good sign, Wei Yilin did not encounter many obstacles, and returned to the place where Su Pingjin was, Wei Yilin knelt beside him, the colorful sunlight illuminated Su Pingjin's body, his face, hands, and legs There were wounds of different shapes, and suddenly, in the black shadows of Su Pingjin's body, several black shadows came out, and they ran under the stones not far away, and disappeared.
"Brother, don't blame me."
Wei Yilin took off the cheap electronic watch on Su Pingjin's right wrist, stuffed it into his pocket, and then reached out and took off Su Pingjin's two blouses, put them on his feet one left and one right, and knotted the two sleeves and pulled them tightly, forming a pair of simple "shoes".
A watch with hands is a good tool for identifying directions, placing it on the ground, pointing the hour hand at the sun, and then dividing the angle between the hour hand and 12 o'clock into two parts, which is the north-south line. And Su Pingjin's electronic flashlight just happened to have a pointer, and the current time is 7:56. This river flows in the northwest direction, that is, if you follow it, you can return to the Jingnan River.
In the subtropical woods, following the river is always the most labor-saving and time-saving way. But this road also seems too time-saving! Wei Yilin had just walked a few steps when two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, one of them was wearing a red jacket and jeans covered with holes. This frightened Wei Yilin a lot, he ran into the woods with his legs, and then shrank and hid behind the bushes. Yasuko didn't notice him, and the two men walked in front of them together.
"......Huh" Wei Yilin just breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was shocked by the next scene, it turned out that these two people were just a small army, about seven or eight meters behind them, followed by four people, these four people were not much different from Anzi, and they were also killed by Mattga's red, purple and purple clothes, and there was also a cynical look on his face.
But behind these four people, there are several people with completely different temperaments, although these people are not tall, but they are very strong, the tendons and flesh on their bodies are like a small mountain, they are wearing camouflage uniforms, and their faces are even painted with dark green camouflage uniforms, they are surrounded by two people, one of whom Wei Yilin is very familiar, it is the big eyebrows Kanzha who had been photographed in Xiyi Hospital that day!
Behind these men, there were six older men, dressed in camouflage clothes and black cloth shoes, who worked in pairs, carrying a large black wooden box, and a thick wooden strip nailed to the opening of the box, sealing the opening. With the exception of the six men, the rest were carrying folding assault rifles.
Kanza suddenly said in a language that Wei Yilin didn't understand: "Stop! The procession stopped.
Wei Yilin was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe—could it be that they found something? In Wei Yilin's anxious gaze, Kanza crouched down, as if studying something on the ground. Wei Yilin hurriedly tried his best to look into the distance, he didn't know if he didn't see it, he was startled when he saw it, it turned out that what Kanza was looking at was not anything, it was the footprints he left behind! The soil by the river is moist and thick, and every step of the foot will leave a deep mark, so it is strange that it is not noticed.
Wei Yilin felt that his scalp was numb, and his legs couldn't help shaking.
"Search." Kanza was obviously suspicious of these strange footprints, pointed to the direction where the footprints disappeared, and said, the camouflage men immediately raised their guns and walked forward slowly, at this time, the few killers who walked in front also came back and joined the search, there were ten of them, if Wei Yilin showed up in front of them, he was afraid that he would be beaten into a sieve.
Wei Yilin took a deep breath, then held his breath, and retreated little by little towards the depths of the jungle, this forest was not far from the cliff, only twenty meters, and there were very few detours. Therefore, after Wei Yilin took a dozen steps back, he spread his legs and ran downstream of the river.
"Who?" Sure enough, before Wei Yilin could run two steps, someone found him, and immediately a shuttle of bullets whistled in, Wei Yilin only felt as if his body had tripped over something, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground. Before he could see what was going on, the shouting behind him was a few points closer, and another bullet hit, and the tree next to Wei Yilin burst its skin and flesh.
What to do? If it goes on like this, it will definitely be broken, what should I do? Wei Yilin racked his brains to think of a way to get out, and his body flashed, and he disappeared behind a big tree surrounded by two people, and at this moment, he saw that the tributary was not far in front of him, and because this was a slope, the terrain of the tributary was nearly one and a half meters lower than here. The bullets "whizzed" at the trees, which were torn from side to side by their tremendous kinetic energy, and let out a "rustle" groan of pain.
Jump and jump! Wei Yilin gritted his teeth, suddenly leaned out from behind the tree, held the branch with both hands, and suddenly accelerated to rush towards the tributary with lightning speed, and when he was about to arrive, he also bowed, kicked his feet violently, and stepped on a lot of splashes, and another round of bullets shot at him, some hit the water, bounced a series of splashes. The blood, little by little, drifted away, staining a long body of water. The gurgling river pushed the sudden heavy object and flowed little by little towards the Jingnan River in the distance.
“Boss.” Several camouflage men put down their guns and nodded to Kanza, who had just walked to the river, "He's dead." ”
Kanza narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a moment before waving his hand, "Let's go." ”
Kanzha didn't know, Wei Yilin didn't know, their every move was watched by one person, this person was none other than Qiao Wu! I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, Qiao Wu did not roll all the way to the bottom of the cliff, but was hung by the branches of a tree that grew from the cliff, and when he struggled to knock himself over on the branches, the sky was already white.
The position of this tree is still nearly 20 meters above the ground, and on its branches, you can just see the tributary, and even the Jingnan River that appears in the mist. The position of this tree is not high, but it is not low, and it is about 15 meters from the top of the cliff, which is exactly the position of neither up nor down.
Qiao Wu was thinking about how to get out when gunshots were heard in the distance. Although Qiao Wu didn't see the shooting that followed, he knew from the sound of the gunfire and the outfit of the gang that these people were not good, and he made a bold decision: to follow.
