Section 16 Kilometers through the poplar
I thought that my life would be frozen at this moment, but the moment the blood spear was about to touch her, it suddenly moved away from herself, and the leaping horn flew higher and higher and higher, and it flew over the top of her head like this, and fell on the gravel of the hillside more than five meters away from herself, and then rolled down like a broken tomato before stopping.
The white woman looked at the horn, and saw it hunched, and a long wooden arrow with a fine feather shot through its back spine, through the back of its neck, and through the top of its head, and corresponded to its horn, as if a small horn had grown next to the big horn.
The woman was stunned and didn't know what was going on. When she lost her mind, "Whoosh... A crack that tore through the air reached the woman's ears, striking against the rocks and echoing among the mountains. At this time, the blood of the xenomorph creature also flowed slowly from the hillside to her feet like a stream. She dodged blankly and looked around, but there was no living creature around her, except for the echo of the arrows.
Finally her gaze fell back to the white man's corpse, and she stumbled down the hill in tears, leaning down beside the white man's corpse, staring at him and kissing his lips. The man's blood wet her clothes and stained her cheeks red, mixed with her tears.
After half an hour, Zhang Lan was panting like a cow, and her nose and face were swollen and she climbed up the hillside. The unusually strong and thin dragon leather coat was also ragged like rags, hanging around the waist.
All this happened too fast, from the time he saw the white man and woman being chased, to the time he got up to rescue the world, the time in the world was not more than ten minutes, and the visual distance between the two mountains was more than 2 kilometers, as the saying goes, "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse" Although the straight line is only two kilometers, it usually takes two hours to travel between the two slopes of the mountains covered with plants and shrubs and rocky mountains. And Zhang Lan actually saved a person in such a short period of time, which can be said to be a miracle.
Seeing the critical situation on the other side, he jumped almost directly from the hillside on his side, and after rolling down the foot of the mountain, he forced his body to run and jumped on a boulder, and then a secondary jump, and flew more than 50 meters away, directly across the ravine under the mountain and jumped to the slope on the side of the white man and woman, and after rushing up a hundred meters, he saw that the single horn had killed the white man and attacked the woman, he didn't think much about it, and hurriedly pulled his bow and arrow. But the first time he had no luck, he hurriedly shot it, and the arrow only flew two or three hundred meters away, and it almost flashed his waist. Seeing that the situation on the hillside was becoming more and more urgent, he hurriedly warned himself to be calm, this time he first silently took a breath, and then put the arrow on the white wooden bow and gradually full, like a full moon, in the process he seemed to hypnotize himself, "aim, force, aim, force" muttered, this arrow was pulled for a minute under his full attention, the tough white wooden bow made a "zizi" sound, at the moment when the horn jumped up and stabbed at the woman, "the string rang out the arrow"...
And after this arrow was shot, time seemed to freeze in Zhang Lan's eyes, the action of the single horn stabbing at the woman slowed down, the woman's action of raising the stake in her hand also slowed down, and the wind blowing beside her also slowed down, Zhang Lan seemed to be watching a mime, and everyone slowed down and waited for the protagonist to appear.
At this time, the protagonist of this mime is the wooden arrow released in Zhang Lan's hand, it rotates, wisps of air throw out thin threads between the feathers at the end of the arrow, and the slender threads want to tear through the space, jumping into the supporting character's body and taking him away.
At this moment, Zhang Lan watched all this as if in a dream, until the body of the unicorn fell to the ground. When he woke up from this dream, he saw that the woman was out of danger, and the pain and fatigue of his whole body and the soreness of his arms rushed to him like a tide, he couldn't help but make a sound, and sat down on a stone with a white wooden bow, until his limbs regained consciousness, and then dragged his tired body slowly to climb the hillside, although his body was painful and tired, he didn't dare to climb too slowly along the way. If something unexpected happens to the woman on the hillside, her hard work and efforts will be wasted. And even he was taken aback by the arrow just now, so he wanted to measure how far he had shot the arrow, and he counted his steps as he climbed and climbed him.
He struggled to climb up the hill where the white woman was, but the woman lay down on the man's body without looking at him. "Hey..." Zhang Lan said hello awkwardly, and after listening to Davis's story, he no longer dared to say hello casually. The woman heard his voice and slowly got up from the man's corpse, her face was covered with blood, so that Zhang Lan couldn't tell what she looked like, the woman was very tall and Zhang Lan's height was about the same. Her expression was sad and numb, Zhang Lan guessed which white man should be her lover or husband, and couldn't help sighing.
Just when Zhang Lan was still searching for some English words in her mind and preparing to communicate with women. The white woman took the initiative to ask, "Are you Chinese?" ”。
"Ahh Oh.... I'm Chinese" I didn't expect this Caucasian woman to speak Chinese, and it was very standard, which surprised and delighted Zhang Lan.
"Thank you for saving me," the Caucasian woman said softly to Zhang Lan, but there was no expression on her face. Her gaze remained on the white man's corpse.
"Don't thank me, I'm sorry I couldn't save him" Zhang Lan also looked at the white man's corpse and said in a low voice.
The woman didn't speak, still staring blankly at the man's corpse.
Zhang Lan sighed, slowly climbed to the side of the one-horned corpse, and looked at the strange shape of the one-horned corpse, he was also surprised inexplicably. This arrow can be shot from the spine and can even drill out from the top of the head, seeing the power of this arrow, if others see it, they will definitely be surprised by the perversion of the strength of the person who draws the bow. When Zhang Lan saw this scene, he wondered if the arrow was shot by himself, because he clearly knew that the arrow had leaped a distance of 1,700 meters before it was shot into the body of the two horns. Zhang Lan carefully examined the corpse of the two horns, and the pitch-black body was wrapped in animal skin, revealing slender limbs. The first time I saw the terrifying creature in Davis's mouth, it was really the same as the appearance of a human, and he groped in detail on the exposed limbs, and the strength of his flesh was really similar to that of a human, except that the spiral-shaped horns on his head were harder than steel. But how could there be a power far stronger than ordinary humans in this thin body, which made Zhang Lan puzzled, just as he was puzzled by the changes in his body.
Holding the tail of the arrow that exposed the two horns outside the body, Zhang Lan endured the bloody qi and pulled it hard, but the soreness in his body made him unable to exert his strength at all, and Zhang Lan still gave up after trying a few times. After thinking about it, he dragged the body of the two horns and moved to a cliff on the slope of the mountain, where he stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, and found that below this cliff was an abyss thousands of meters deep, and the abyss was overgrown with all kinds of dense plants. Seeing such a good place to throw corpses, Zhang Lan did not hesitate to drag the corpse of Shuangjiao to the edge of the cliff, and then kicked it under the cliff. After disposing of the double horn, he also concocted the body of the single horn according to the law. Throughout the process of throwing the body, the white woman was sorting out the body for the man, ignoring Zhang Lan's actions. Zhang Lan sympathized with her and did not bother her about the loss of her lover or relatives, and dealt with these things silently by herself.
Zhang Lan finished disposing of the two corpses, and the white woman also finished sorting out the man's body. She found a low depression on the hillside, where it was rare that it was not rocky, and there was still some dirt left, and she picked up a stone to dig up, and only a little at a time but she dug silently. Zhang Lan didn't say anything when she saw it, picked up the spear with one horn and two horns and dug it next to her, the tip of the spear of the xenomorph creature was as flat as a willow leaf, and the efficiency of digging the soil with the two spears together was obviously much higher than that of a stone, but it still took more than an hour for the two of them to dig out a pit the size of a white man, Zhang Lan and the white woman put the man's body in the pit together, the woman took off her coat and gently covered the man's body, Zhang Lan on the side also let out a long sigh and muttered" Brother, go well, may your soul return to your hometown" After speaking, he will cover the earth. The white woman hurriedly shouted and waited, picked up a pair of wooden stakes from the ground behind her and put them under the man's hands, stared at his face for a long time, and kissed the man's corpse for a long time before she climbed up to the dirt pit blankly and said, "Okay, let's bury it." After another effort, Zhang Lan and the white woman buried the man together, and finally Zhang Lan found a flat stone next to it and carried it on top of the mound. Said helplessly: "There is no tombstone, just use this general", "His tombstone is erected in my heart" The white woman said lightly, Zhang Lan looked at him and didn't know how to persuade her, and sighed heavily.
After cleaning up, the white woman stretched out her hand and said, "Thank you, my Chinese name is Lily." Zhang Lan wiped her hands, gently shook Lily's hand and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Lan." After a pause, he asked, "Do you have any plans?" If not, just come with me. The woman didn't immediately agree when she heard this, and lowered her head to think about it. I also have two companions, so let's take care of them if there are many people" Zhang Lan was afraid of any misunderstanding, so she hurriedly added. "In that case, I'll go with you," Lily heard his explanation, and sure enough, agreed.
Zhang Lan put the bow and arrow on her back, took the two spears in her hand and looked at it again. With a few trotting steps, he threw the two spears in his hand together under the cliff where the one and double horns were. Originally, these two spears could also be considered good weapons, but if they were used by Li Junshan, they would obviously be too long. In order for the lily not to see things, he still threw it away. When Lily saw his actions, she understood what he meant, and her eyes softened a lot.
Zhang Lan took Lily and walked down the mountain together, and they were going to jump over the ravine below the mountain back to the opposite side of the hill, where Zhang Lan would cut the wood to be used as weapons. In the process of descending the mountain, Zhang Lan had a weak leg and almost made a rolling gourd, but fortunately, Lily helped him in time to stabilize his figure. Zhang Lan was embarrassed to explain: "I ran a little overdraft just now." Lily looked at the bruises on his face and the ragged leather coat, his eyes began to overflow with tears, he wiped it with his hand, revealed a rare smile, and solemnly said to Zhang Lan, "Thank you!" ”
