Chapter 148: Under the Banyan Tree
Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters. Benzoin silently calculated the distance between herself and the banyan tree in her mind.
When there were still five meters to go, the setting sun had disappeared over the mountain, and the last rays of light made the shadow of the banyan tree completely disappear from the swamp.
At the same time, Benzoin, who was still tentatively advancing, noticed that after the last rays of sunlight disappeared, the human eels in the swamp puddles had swarmed out, and the probes stared at them.
"Run!" Benzoin shouted, pulling her legs and making her final sprint under the banyan tree.
Yexin and the others also ran wildly, no longer bothering to avoid the human head eels that pounced on the left and right, but fortunately, everyone rushed under the banyan tree without danger.
Although it was only a short five-meter sprint, everyone still held on to the tree and panted, not because they were tired, but because if they had been half a step slower before, they might have been dragged into the swamp by the human head eel.
Then everyone turned to look at the human eels that were swimming at the edge of the swamp, but did not dare to approach the banyan tree, and they all involuntarily retreated, clinging to the trunks, for fear that they would rush up again.
"Pick up some branches and light the fire!" Benzoin instructed the two pirates, "Be careful, I don't know what else is here." ”
Benzoin had just finished speaking, but she saw Yexin actually take two steps towards the edge of the swamp, she subconsciously stepped forward and grabbed Yexin, and asked sharply, "Do you want to die?" ”
Ye Xin unexpectedly didn't refute anything, just looked into the distance worriedly: "Oh no, Brother Anshu, they are still in the swamp." ”
Benzoin frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Do you still have a flare on you?" ”
Ye Xin nodded, and immediately understood what she wanted to do, immediately took it out, and pulled the lead at a forty-five degree angle, and then a sound bullet rushed out, and the moment it rushed into the distance, they saw Tang Anshu and the others who were fighting with those human head eels with knives in the swamp.
Ye Xin shouted loudly: "Brother Anshu! Run! Come on! ”
●
The moment the bullet flew above the heads of Tang Anshu and the others, the human head eels who were originally about to pounce on them in turn immediately retracted their bodies into the puddle.
Immediately afterwards, the sound bomb exploded above their heads, Tang Anshu and the others subconsciously raised their hands to protect their eyes, and at the same time, the human head eels that were still in the puddle around them also fled around because of the fright of the explosion, and the scene was like a circular shock wave shaking towards the surroundings.
"Light the torch!" After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he hurriedly took out the torches in the thousand machine bags, "You cover me!" I light the torch! ”
Gu Feng and Tang Hualong immediately protected Tang Anshu so that he could light the torches, and at the same time, they also heard the sound of crackling around them, no doubt it was the sound of human head eels swimming towards here.
"Hurry up!" For reasons that he couldn't see, Gu Feng had to put the knife across his chest and use his voice to judge the direction of the human head eel.
The torch was finally lit, Tang Anshu held the torch high, and the moment the fire was lit, they were horrified to find that those human head eels were all standing up in the surrounding puddles, opening their mouths full of suction cups and facing them, making strange noises in their mouths, as if countless people were sucking saliva in their mouths.
At this moment, another signal flare flew towards this side, and Tang Anshu saw this and said, "Run!" Hurry up! ”
Tang Anshu held the torch in front of him, paying attention to the location of the puddle: "Keep your distance, see your feet clearly, follow my steps, be careful not to fall in!" ”
The three of them kept moving at a constant speed in the swamp, while Benzoin and Yexin under the banyan tree shot a signal flare into the air from time to time to cover them, although there were not many signal flares left, but it was enough to hold out until Tang Anshu and the others arrived safely.
However, he stared intently at Benzoin and the others in the swamp, not noticing the black things hanging overhead.
At the moment when Tang Anshu finally led the way to the banyan tree, the surprised Yexin stepped forward and hugged him, Benzoin was stunned, shocked and embarrassed, and his brain was hot, so he stepped forward directly and hugged Gu Feng.
Gu Feng was hugged by benzoin, stunned there, didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and wanted to push away benzoin, but found that the girl was holding herself tightly, and she was getting harder and harder.
Tang Anshu pushed Ye Xin away and said embarrassedly: "It's okay, thank you, thank you......"
After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he saw the benzoin holding Gu Feng, Gu Feng was extremely embarrassed, and looked at Tang Anshu with a sad face.
Tang Anshu immediately looked away, walked towards the tree, and then sat down: "It's so dangerous, it's just a little bit." ”
As he spoke, Tang Anshu directly closed his eyes and lay down, panting constantly, but at this moment, Tang Anshu recalled the previous situation of losing consciousness after the headache, and in order to avoid this, he immediately opened his eyes and wanted to get up.
Who knew that the moment Tang Anshu opened his eyes, he saw the black shadows hanging from the tree, he immediately bounced up, raised his gun and said to the tree: "There is something in the tree!" ”
After Tang Anshu finished speaking, everyone immediately held their weapons and looked upward, and the two pirates also held their torches high to observe.
The moment the torch was raised, what caught everyone's eyes was the dried corpses hanging upside down on the trees, all stripped of their clothes.
This scene made everyone shudder, and although they were afraid, they still watched and searched, worried that there were other monsters in the trees.
No, there must be other monsters, otherwise how could there be so many dried corpses hanging upside down?
"Just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den." Gu Feng gasped, "Isn't there a normal place on this island?" ”
Yexin approached Tang Anshu and asked, "Brother Anshu, do you know what this is?" ”
Tang Anshu shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Benzoin sniffed and said, "It's not poisonous, and it's all dried corpses, it looks like someone deliberately dried it, just like ......"
Tang Hualong took over on the side: "The hunter's prey? ”
"Yes." Benzoin nodded, "It's like dried fish dried by fishermen." ”
Gu Feng looked around: "Is there any fierce beast here?" Catch people and put them here to dry and use them as food? ”
Ye Xin couldn't help but feel sick when she heard Gu Feng say this.
"Take out the flashlight!" Tang Anshu instructed, "Let's take a closer look at this tree first, and make sure there is nothing else.
We're going to rest here for the time being. ”
Yexin hurriedly shook her head: "No, I can't sleep in this kind of place!" ”
Tang Anshu said: "It's dark now, if we go forward, I'm afraid we will encounter something else, it's better to rest here until dawn, at least we can see it at that time, for now, it's safer here, it's just a little disgusting." ”
Gu Feng also agreed: "This can only be the case, take shifts to rest first, you go to bed first, there is me and Ah Long in the first half of the night." ”
Everyone had to agree, but although Ye Xin lay down, the whole person was next to the fire, turned sideways, and closed his eyes tightly, worried that even the corner of his eye would sweep to those terrifying dried corpses on the tree.
I hope tonight is safe and sound, Tang Anshu, who was leaning on the trunk of the tree, thought of it, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, a dried corpse on the tree suddenly opened its eyes and looked directly at the people under the tree......
●
In the low hills in front of the swamp, Li Zhaonian, who had been shot in the abdomen, was lying there, but he was not dead, and his chest was still rising and falling rhythmically.
At this time, a black shadow slowly approached him with a knife, and after observing for a while from a meter away, this man wearing a dark green mask, wearing rattan armor, and carrying a longbow approached Li Zhaonian.
After the man probed Li Zhaonian's snort, he pondered for a moment, leaned over and picked up Li Zhaonian, turned around and walked in the direction he came.
"Water-" Li Zhaonian said a word in a daze, and his instinct to survive made him realize that he had been rescued.
The man carried Li Zhaonian around a small hill on his back, threw Li Zhaonian in front of another person who was much burlier and dressed like him, and said in a deep voice: "I'm still alive." ”
The leader looked at Li Zhaonian, and then imitated a bird's call with his beak, and then two people in the same dress came out from the other side of the hill.
The leader instructed the two, "Let's see if we can save him, maybe it will be useful." ”
The two nodded, and one dragged one of Li Zhaonian's legs and slowly left.

The mansion of Zhang Fuzhi in Yongcheng Xingang.
As the head of the three major families in Yongcheng, the grandeur of the Zhang's mansion is unparalleled, and the wide courtyard can park dozens of trucks, even if it takes a lot of time to run around the courtyard on horseback.
However, the high walls around the courtyard and the barbed wire fence on the high walls make the place look eerie, like a luxurious prison.
However, the people in this "prison" have never really been disturbed by the raging disease outside.
Fortifications were built outside the gate of Zhangjia, sandbags were piled up, and in addition to the militia of Zhangjiahuyuan, there were also foreign soldiers.
"Hey, there's another one." When the foreign soldier in the fortification saw a madman running in the distance, he immediately threw away the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, raised his light machine gun and aimed it at the man, and then pulled the trigger, breaking the madman's legs.
After the madman broke his leg, he still crawled towards this side, screaming like a beast from his mouth.
The foreign soldier put down his gun and looked at the militia bodyguard next to him: "It's your turn." ”
The militia bodyguard didn't understand what the foreigner said, but just looked at the foreigner in a daze, and after the foreigner gestured to him, he grabbed his rifle, aimed at the madman and pulled the trigger.
The first bullet hit the shoulder of the madman, the foreigner shook his head with a pout, and the vigilante bodyguard said: "Mistake! Blunder! ”
The second bullet immediately followed hit the madman in the head, and the madman finally fell.
The foreigner laughed and gave a thumbs up to the bodyguards of the militia group.
In the distance, in the trees, Epiphany watched all this and sighed, "Human life is like grass mustard." ”
As she spoke, Ephema jumped to another tree, threw a hook rope at the tree in the courtyard, and carefully climbed along the rope.

In the study room of the main building of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Fuzhi stood at the window, looking at the direction of the door, looking at the firelight that lit up there from time to time, his brows were tightly locked,
Zhang Fuzhi finally turned around, and the moment he turned around, Jiang Boqi, who was still eating a snack, thought he had something to say, so he quickly put down the dim sum and picked up a cloth to wipe his hands.
Who knew that Zhang Fuzhi said to the door: "Zhang Fu." ”
When Zhang Fu opened the door, Li Songming happened to come in, Zhang Fuzhi's eyes jumped over him, and said to Zhang Fu: "You tell the people at the door, let them not shoot indiscriminately when they are fine, it's very annoying." ”
Zhang Fudao: "Yes, master." ”
After Zhang Fu left, Jiang Boqi immediately asked Li Songming: "Third child, how is it?" ”
