Chapter 43: I'm Thick-skinned
Not long after stepping into the forest, fog began to rise. At first, the fog was not very big, and the sunspots at the back could still see the high clouds in the front, but within a few minutes, they could only see the people in front of them.
Gao Yunliang shouted backwards to everyone: "Everyone follow closely, the fog is getting bigger and bigger." ”
Under Gao Yunliang's reminder, everyone turned on the ultraviolet flashlight and walked slowly next to each other.
The weeds that first entered the forest were not very high, but only up to the ankles, so they did not cause much obstacle to walking. However, the trees in the forest are very dense, almost one after the other, and there are occasional horizontal branches between the trees, and everyone shuttles through the forest, because the line of sight is not good, so they walk very slowly. At the same time, you have to pay attention to whether there are insects and snakes under your feet, whether there are spider ants on the top of your head, and whether there are branches and spikes in the front and back, left and right, etc., and it is not easy to move forward.
The trees in this mountain forest are not only dense, but also very thick, and each one is a large tree hugged by two people. The trees are towering into the clouds, and the branches and foliage are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun. It was already a dark sky, and the light was very poor at this time, and everyone seemed to be walking in the night, and they groped their way forward like blind people in the fog.
After about half an hour, the weeds in the forest became taller and taller, and the grass never reached the knees when I stepped into it. The trees in the forest are also getting thinner and smaller, and a single tree is enough for one person to hug. The deeper you go, the denser the trees become, and the fog grows. Due to the low visibility here, the high concentration of everyone's spirit, coupled with the dense vegetation and the abundance of mosquitoes, everyone feels that their physical strength is rapidly consumed, sweat is mixed with fog, the whole body is wet and wet, very uncomfortable, and the most important thing is that the body's water is also losing rapidly.
Previously, most of the water bottles were dropped when the waterhole fled, so Gao Yunliang asked each two to share a pot of water when they were grouped. Due to the large consumption of water by everyone, it is obvious that the water storage is not enough.
Cheng Yifan took a sip and handed the kettle to Zhao Yawen. Zhao Yawen looked at the full bottle of water, knowing that Cheng Yifan was reluctant to drink it, and deliberately left the water for himself, and suddenly felt sweet. But Cheng Yifan just thinks that Zhao Yawen is a girl and should be taken care of more, and there are no special feelings in it.
After drinking the water, they didn't stay long before they followed the light spot in front of them.
When he was close to the point of light, he happened to see Jin Shijie, so Cheng Yifan and Zhao Yawen switched positions, and he followed behind Jin Shijie.
At this time, the fog was already very large, except for Jin Shijie and Zhao Yawen, who could barely see it, everyone else relied on purple light to distinguish the location. Cheng Yifan and Zhao Yawen were relatively far ahead, and when they walked, they only looked at the light spots in front of them, and rarely looked behind, and they naturally didn't know that the light spots in the back had disappeared at this time.
Cheng Yifan was afraid that Zhao Yawen would lose him, so he stretched out his left hand to hold Zhao Yawen, leaned sideways, and slowly walked forward with his right hand touching the trees. When Cheng Yifan just stretched out his left hand, Zhao Yawen was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly and shook it generously. Zhao Yawen felt a burst of sweetness in his heart, and his tiredness suddenly disappeared by half.
Cheng Yifan doesn't understand a woman's mind, so he is just embarrassed to think that Zhao Yawen.
In this way, the two of them continued to walk forward behind Jin Shijie, occasionally talking and laughing, which was very natural.
Zhao Yawen enjoyed such a wonderful time, as if there was only one Cheng Yifan in her world, and she didn't care about other people's eyes at all. In fact, it's not that she doesn't care about everyone's eyes, it's just that the fog is so big that she can only see Cheng Yifan in front of her, and she can't see anyone else at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After walking for about half an hour, we were now in the center of the forest, only about half the distance from the exit. Gao Yunliang anxiously hurried to the exit, forgetting for a moment that there was Jin Lanlan, who had a weaker physique, behind him.
Jin Lanlan saw Gao Yunliang's anxious face, and then looked at Jin Shipeng, who had an uncomfortable expression and was physically exhausted. said to Gao Yunliang in front of him: "Yunliang, you slow down, the people behind you can't keep up." ”
When Gao Yunliang heard Jin Lanlan's reminder, he realized that he was walking too fast, maybe his heart was too anxious. The environment of the woods is getting worse and worse, and the sky is getting darker and darker, and Gao Yunliang is afraid that he will not be able to reach the Luoxian Cave before dark. So he only cared about rushing forward, forgetting that there were still many people behind him who were physically exhausted.
Gao Yunliang stopped and looked back at the back. The visibility is indeed too low, except for Jin Lanlan, who can barely see clearly, everyone else he judges the location through ultraviolet flashlights. Fortunately, Jin Lanlan reminded herself, otherwise he would have left everyone behind soon.
Gao Yunliang found a relatively loose woodland, cleared his throat and shouted: "Everyone come to me, the fog is too big, we have to move forward in a different way." ”
Soon everyone gathered together, formed a circle, and surrounded Gao Yunliang in the middle of the circle.
Gao Yunliang continued: Not far ahead is the exit, about half the way, we are standing here is the most central position, but also the heaviest fog, not only the grass is high and difficult to walk, there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, the main thing is that the fog is too heavy now, and it should be out of sight for a while.
So for the next road, we have to walk in a row, everyone in order to put their hands on the shoulders of their predecessors, one by one, even if the speed is slow, it doesn't matter, we must ensure that one does not fall through this forest.
Taking the water from Jin Lanlan's hand, Gao Yunliang took a sip, and then continued: "The order of the team is still in the original order of the first, second, and third groups, and you are still worried about the sunspot." ”
"Do you understand?" Gao Yunliang asked everyone as he handed the water back to Jin Lanlan.
"Understood." Everyone responded in unison, the voice was not loud but very neat. After walking through the woods for more than an hour, not only the mouth is dry and noisy, the whole body is wet, and there are many mosquitoes, and everyone has been bitten by mosquitoes in many places, which is very uncomfortable. Coupled with the thick white mist, everyone was very depressed, and everyone wanted to leave this annoying forest as soon as possible.
Gao Yunliang is not only their guide, but also their backbone, maybe everyone has their own special talents, but in this forest, they would rather choose to believe in Gao Yunliang than risk it alone and leave first.
Jin Shipeng has been drinking all year round, and his physical strength is very poor, even worse than Zhao Yawen and Bai Su. His difference is in continuity, maybe it's okay to burst out in a short period of time, but he can't stand the long-term physical exertion. Jin Shipeng drank a bottle of water in one go, panting heavily, like a dog in the scorching heat, stretching out his long tongue to spread heat. He said as he gasped; "MD is tired of me, Gao Yunliang, you are walking so fast, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
Gao Yunliang ignored him. Jin Shipeng put the bottle to his mouth, shook it, dropped two drops of water, threw the bottle away, and said, "I'm thirsty, Jin Lanlan give me the water in your hand." ”
Jin Lanlan looked at Jin Shijie who wanted to teach a lesson, and when she saw him looking like a dead fish, it was useless to think about it, so she could only sigh helplessly.
When Jin Lanlan wanted to reach out and hand over the water bottle, she was snatched by Gao Yunliang and said, "Don't give it to him yet?" ”
Then Gao Yunliang stared at Jin Shipeng fiercely, and said coldly: "Yours has been drunk, it's ours." ”
Jin Shipeng had no choice but to muttered angrily in his mouth with Gao Yunliang: "Let you drag it first, sooner or later Lao Tzu will kill you." ”
Jin Lanlan understood what Gao Yunliang meant, and did not ask for a water bottle. glanced at Jin Shipeng, turned to Gao Yunliang and said, "Yunliang, why don't you take a rest first." ”
Gao Yunliang swept around the crowd around him. Bai Su and Jin Lanlan were all out of breath, and the others were also half-bent over, holding their knees with their hands, panting heavily, looking quite tired.
"Let's take a few minutes of rest, shall we?" Gao Yunliang put down his backpack as he spoke. Seeing Jin Lanlan next to him scratching an itch on his body with his hands from time to time, he hurriedly took out a small bottle of perfume from his bag and handed it to Jin Lanlan and said: "This is a potion made by my Gao family, it has a miraculous effect on mosquito bites, so quickly rub it." ”
Jin Lanlan was just about to be moved, but Gao Yunliang took out another vial from his bag and handed it to Ye Feifei, saying, "Just two bottles, you two will pass them on to others after wiping them." ”
"Why don't you wipe it first?" Ye Feifei said softly and softly to Gao Yunliang, his eyes flashing with emotion.
"He's thick-skinned, there's no need for it, hehe" Jin Lanlan snatched the medicine bottle in Gao Yunliang's hand and handed it to Ye Feifei with a smile.
"Okay." Ye Feifei took the medicine bottle in Jin Lanlan's hand, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face, as if he had received an opponent's battle letter, but he couldn't meet the enemy openly. At the same time, she had to admire Jin Lanlan's clever fighting method of killing people without seeing blood.
"Haha, too, too, I'm thick-skinned." Gao Yunliang looked at the two people with a strange atmosphere, and hurriedly cleared the siege.
