Chapter 143
They all know the reason, everyone is very hungry, but after walking such a long way, they haven't even seen a living creature, and yesterday they hunted a rabbit, apparently they were lucky.
Rabbits are really not everywhere in this place.
After insisting on walking for a while, Cha Meijing stretched out her hand and pointed: "There is fruit on that tree." ”
A few people looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was a big tree full of fruit, but they couldn't tell what it was, and they had never seen the fruit on the tree.
The fruit was in bunches like grapes, red throughout, but each fruit was several times larger than the grapes, the size of a ripe apple, and each bunch bore more or less four or five fruits.
Cha Meijing was so hungry that she ran all the way to the bottom of the tree and was about to climb up the tree.
Song Yelin chased after him in a few steps and tore Zha Meijing off the tree, "Don't be impulsive first." ”
Cha Meijing glared at him and said unhappily: "What impulsive or not, there is fruit to eat on the tree, you wait, I will climb up to pick the fruit, I can climb the tree very well." ”
"Can you eat anything from this tree?" Brother Lei muttered quietly.
He felt that the trees here were strangely shaped, and even the fruit on the trees grew strangely, and wondered if the fruit would be poisonous.
Mo Ci was also faintly uneasy, and said to Zha Meijing: "It's better not to eat things here." ”
Zha Meijing didn't listen to persuasion, shook off Song Yelin's hand, climbed up the tree and moved neatly like a monkey, and soon she climbed up and reached out to pick a bunch of fruits.
"Brother Ye, you can take it." She threw the bunch of fruits at Song Yelin, Song Yelin stood still and didn't reach out to take it, letting the bunch of fruits fall to the ground and fall to pieces.
"Brother Ye, didn't I let you pick it up."
Song Yelin stared at the broken fruit on the ground, and found that something was moving in the flesh, squatted down to take a closer look, and found that there were many small white worms inside, and the flesh that flowed out exuded a strange smell, not exactly stink, but very choking.
He hurriedly yelled at Zha Meijing, who was still picking fruit on the tree: "You come down for me immediately." ”
"Wait for me to pick up a few more strings."
"I'll tell you to come down for me right away."
Cha Meijing pouted, "Got it." While talking, I didn't forget to pick another bunch.
She wore a long skirt, which she wrapped around and tied in a knot, and she climbed down the tree.
With her feet on the ground, she untied the knot on her skirt, shook the fruit to the ground, and smiled at Song Yelin: "I picked it according to the head, and each person has a bunch." ”
Song Yelin dragged her up, motioned to the broken bunch of fruits, and said, "You'd better see what it is, and then decide whether to eat it or not." ”
Cha Meijing squinted, staring at the rotten fruit on the ground, and seeing the white worms wriggling in the flesh, she screamed in fright, and she was about to drill into Song Yelin's arms in the next second.
Song Yelin stretched out his hand and pushed her head, not letting her get close.
It took her strength for a long time, but she was still pushed away by Song Yelin, she lowered her face and sighed: "It seems that I have to continue to be hungry." ”
As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the jungle, and the movement became louder and louder, as if something was approaching them, and it was coming from all directions.
Mo Ci's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he subconsciously picked up the bow and arrow.
Song Yelin and A Ce also pulled up their bows and arrows for the first time, while Li Yanqi took out a dagger from his body, and several people formed a circle to protect Cha Meijing, Xiaohu and Lei Ge in the protective circle.
The sound of rustling was getting closer and closer, and when Mo Ci saw a centipede crawling out of the grass, goosebumps all over his body exploded, the centipede was almost thirty centimeters long, and it crawled extremely fast, and not only this one, but many more popped up after that.
"Holy!" Li Yanqi was also frightened by this scene.
She had seen piles of insects on the island, but Mo Ci still felt a tingling in her scalp, she shrank back, aimed at a centipede and was about to release an arrow, the centipede actually crawled towards the bunch of fruits on the ground, and the other centipedes almost ignored them and rushed towards those fruits.
"This ......" Mo Ci was shocked.
She found that centipedes picked the white bugs in the flesh of the fruit to eat.
It is estimated that the smell of the fruit attracts these centipedes, and eighty percent of the centipedes here feed on this fruit, or the white bugs in the fruit, to be exact.
Taking advantage of the centipede's attention not on them, they hurried away.
ran far away in one breath, Mo Ci really couldn't run, so he had no choice but to stop.
They all ate yesterday's rabbits, and no one had any adverse reactions, she felt that the rabbits here might be at the bottom of the food chain, and the rabbits were no different from normal sizes, obviously not a mutant breed.
Maybe it was deliberately put in by the robot to feed those mutated creatures.
Thinking like this, Mo Ci suddenly understood why there were so few rabbits here, and it seemed that they were really lucky to be able to hunt one yesterday.
"Can you still go?" Song Yelin stopped and waited for her.
She nodded and said, "Let me take a break." ”
She was really tired, she had walked in the woods for most of the night last night, and today she had walked so far with a hungry stomach, she was a wounded person, and it was not easy to hold on until now.
"Then take a break."
A few people rested in place.
Cha Meijing was trembling all over, she hadn't recovered from the panic just now, Xiaohu's shoulder accidentally touched her, which scared her into a thrill.
"What the hell was that?" She grabbed Song Yelin's arm and almost cried.
Song Yelin was unusually calm, "I'll get used to it when I see too much." ”
"Have you been through this before?"
"Experienced."
Cha Meijing's tears finally fell, and she sobbed and said, "I'm afraid, I don't want to go, it's better to let the spider eat it in one bite." ”
Mo Ci couldn't get used to her behavior of coming to Song Yelin's side at every turn, so she walked over, squeezed between her and Song Yelin, and then patted her shoulder and comforted: "Don't say stupid things, aren't you good now." ”
"I was almost scared to death."
"Then you calm down and prepare yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"Meaning, there's probably going to be even more scarier to come."
“……”
Cha Mei's tears that had been silent for a few seconds burst the embankment in an instant.
Seeing Zha Meijing crying non-stop, Mo Ci had a headache, she has never been good at comforting others.
Ace couldn't help but want to laugh a little because of her uprightness, "Is there such a comforting thing as you?" Look at the little girl who scares people. ”
"I ...... Didn't scare her. "At least not on purpose.
Ace smiled, waved his hand at Cha Meijing, and said, "Come, you come here, brother hug." ”
Zha Meijing immediately stopped crying, stared at a pair of red eyes and said, "Get out!" Who wants you to hug. ”
Ah Ce shrugged his shoulders and grinned at Mo Ci: "You see how useful this method is, learn it later." ”
