Chapter 36: Escape

At this time, the monkey's face was no longer pale, and it was already a little bloody. The monkey smacked his mouth a few times and said, "I said Lao Yang, what are you staring at me for, quickly take out the dry food, I'm dying of hunger!" So saying, the monkey went to the bag to rummage through the dry food, and when the bag was not rummaged, he came to me again.

At this time, I was still a little confused, and I was still thinking about the monkey's expression before, so I pointed to the leftover dry food I ate next to me, and the monkey frowned when he saw that I didn't speak: "What's wrong with you, Lao Yang, dumb?" ”

I didn't answer him, he didn't care, just followed the direction I pointed to find dry food, the monkey glanced at the dry food that had been opened, and frowned again: "Damn, Lao Yang, you are too uninteresting, you don't call me when you start eating!" As he spoke, the monkey devoured it.

At this time, I settled down, judging from the tone of the monkey's speech just now and his current eating attitude, it was clear that he was a normal monkey I was familiar with, but his previous expression was really unforgettable for me.

After the monkey had eaten and drunk enough, he touched the residue next to his mouth, smacked his mouth a few more times, and then asked me: "I said Lao Yang, how long have I been asleep, how do you feel like I have slept for a week!" ”

I let out a long breath: "Two days and two nights!" The monkey was also a little surprised when he heard this, and it was obvious that he also felt that it was a little abnormal to sleep for so long: "Damn, when the did I become so sleepy!" ”

When I saw that there was nothing unusual about the monkey, I asked, "Monkey, how did you feel before you woke up from sleep?" The monkey was a little puzzled, he didn't know why I asked like this, he scratched his head: "Before I woke up, I felt hungry and panicked, and I was thinking that it would be nice if there was a roast chicken to eat, and I saw your bear-like appearance as soon as I opened my eyes." ”

It seems that the monkey didn't know what had just happened, but after thinking about it, maybe I was too careful, and the monkey might have thought that I was the roast chicken in his dream, and he saw a roast chicken in a state of hunger, so he showed an expression of extreme longing and satisfaction. Thinking about it really made me feel a lot more relieved.

When the monkey saw that I was silent with all my thoughts on my face, he asked me why I was asking like this, for I was afraid that I would be more frightened if I said it

We've been on the water for two days and two nights, and we're supposed to have gone some way downstream.

We turned on our flashlights and looked around, and the monkey suddenly said, "Have we reached the end of the river?" The water level is already very shallow here."

The monkey turned the flashlight to the minimum and shone it on the rock wall on the side of the cliff, but the spot did not move, and we stopped here.

"The water level here is too shallow, and the bone vines have touched the bottom of the river, so I can't walk here!" I found that the water here is at most two meters deep, and it should be almost the end of the river, so I picked up the flashlight and shone it forward, only to see that it was dark ahead, and there was still no end in sight.

The monkey said, "I don't know when this bone withered vine started to get stuck here, and if we continue to consume it like this, we will never reach the end, or we will go into the water, and it is better for us to swim downstream than to dry up here!" ”

I felt goosebumps all over my body when I heard this, I didn't want to go into such cold water again, I sighed: "Wait a while, think about any other way, it's too painful to go into the water!" ”

As I spoke, I picked up my hand again and searched around. I was stunned when my flashlight hit the smooth rock wall on the other side of the river, which had risen from the water two days ago to a maximum of more than 20 meters high, and at least 40 or 50 meters high by this time.

I immediately used my flashlight to look into the water, and found that the river was shallower than before. So I also learned from the monkey to adjust the light spot of the flashlight to the minimum and hit it on the stone wall, and found that the light spot was moving downward, and the speed was very fast, and the water level was falling rapidly. At this rate, in less than an hour, we were at the end.

The monkey also found out about this, and he was very excited: "Damn, God help me, in a little while we will be able to walk in the river." ”

The thought of not having to go into the water was naturally very happy, it would take a while for the river to completely recede, and it was useless to be anxious, so the monkey and I simply turned off the flashlight to save electricity, sat down, and waited for the river to recede.

From time to time, the monkey and I would turn on the flashlight and look into the water, and when we saw the water level gradually decreasing, we couldn't help but get more and more excited.

An hour passed, and the depth of the river was less than 10 centimeters, and you could clearly see that the bottom of the river was a thick layer of sand and gravel.

At this moment, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and I faintly heard a very strange sound, which was like the "crunch" made by thousands of rats when they were foraging for food, and the sound seemed to be getting louder and louder, coming from the downstream of the river not far away.

The strange sound creeped me out, and the monkey noticed it, and we turned on the flashlights and shone down the river. It was gray in front of me, and as the sound of "Ng" became louder and denser, I vaguely saw dozens of figures in the river in front of me, who seemed to be lying on their stomachs in the river and drinking water.

Seeing this, I immediately had an ominous premonition, and my nerves began to tense when these people were extremely human corpses.

In a short time, the number of figures suddenly increased several times, and they were moving towards us. As the figures slowly approached, I finally saw their true bodies, and my hunch was right, they were human corpses!

I immediately shone a flashlight on the back of the corpse, and I was dumbfounded, the whole river was full of dense human corpses, and there was no end in sight, they went forward one after another, desperately sucking the water in the river.

At this time, I finally understood that the so-called river downflow and water level drop are all fucking bullshit, and the water in the river dozens of meters deep is all fucking sucked dry by human corpses.

At this time, the monkey was already dumbfounded, and he stared at the thousands of human corpses in front of him motionless like a mummy, probably frightened into a fool.

I was finally awake and immediately picked up my luggage and yelled, "Run!" At this time, there is little water left in the river, and the running is quite smooth, and the monkey shouts while running: "It's over, it's over, so many human corpses are not enough for them to stuff their teeth!" It's really over......"

As soon as I heard this, I scolded: "Don't fucking shrug like this, it's too early to say something discouraged!" ”

"Damn, the human corpses are about to catch up with us, where is there still life!". I took a breath and said, "There's still some water left in the river, and the water is much more attractive than ours, so the corpses won't come after us for a while, we must find a safe place before the corpses drain the water!" ”

The monkeys and I ran up the river for more than twenty hours, but we still didn't dare to stop, we all knew the speed of human corpses, and once the human corpses sucked up the water in the river, we became their new water source, and it was a matter of minutes to catch up with us. The instinct to escape and the desire to survive make us forget our tiredness, and there is only one thought in our hearts: we can't stop.

We continued to run for more than ten hours, but no matter how strong my faith was, I couldn't stop my fleshy legs. The monkey and I were so tired that we had almost half a life left, and the amount of exercise was comparable to several marathon runs, and it was still a wild run, and I guess I would have won the championship if I had gone to the race.

At this point, we had to stop and rest for a while, and then we had to be exhausted and collapsed when we ran again.

I found a dry stone and sat down, panting and taking out water to drink, the monkey's body was worse than mine, I saw him with one hand on his waist, the other hand on the stone wall, retching, vomiting to death.

Ten minutes passed, I had regained my calm, the monkey drank a few sips of water and spit it all out, the whole person was languishing as if it had been burst, sitting on the ground with a sluggish expression, and breathing a little rapidly.

I asked, "How's it going, it's okay, I don't usually exercise, but now I'm a dog!" ”

The monkey gasped and sighed before saying, "You can't die, don't talk nonsense with me!" ”

I smiled, didn't bother to tease him, and continued, "We'll have to keep running when we're rested, the corpse may not be far away from us!" The monkey didn't speak, but raised his hand slightly, meaning to let him slow down.

The monkeys were resting, and I picked up my flashlight to look around, but there was no longer a speck of water in the river here, and I couldn't help but worry a little more.

I looked at the stone walls on both sides of the river and above, and immediately made me take a pound, the cliff on the other side of the cliff was gone, and it had become a smooth stone wall thirty or forty meters high, and the stone walls on both sides of the river were exactly the same.

I ran so fast along the way that I didn't notice it. I walked a little further along the stone wall on one side, and I noticed that the river no longer seemed to be straight, but had a certain arc. I was a little confused and didn't know what these two findings meant.

Then the monkey beckoned me and motioned for me to go. So we packed our bags and set off again. We walked and ran, walked and rested, and it was more than ten hours in a row. Along the way, I paid special attention to the direction of the river, which led me to a conclusion.

I could almost feel that I was walking on an arc-shaped track, but not in a circle, because I found that the further I went, the more the curvature of the river became, which I presumed to be a spiral. This can explain why the cliff on one side of the river is missing, because we were in the outermost circle of the spiral at that time, and we did not feel the curvature of the river, indicating that the radius of the outermost circle of the spiral was quite large, so that we ran along the river to the inner part of the spiral for several days before we felt the curvature of the river slightly.

If that's really what I'm surmising, then if we keep going, there's a good chance we'll reach the center of the spiral. What could be in the center of this spiral? Could it be the big ding?
