Chapter 12: Animals of the Unimagine
Wang Zhen took a few steps back, cursed, and asked in disbelief, "Zhang Xuan?" ”
I raised my hand and pushed the wooden board above my head, the sun shone in, and the first thing that caught my eye was Zhang Siyuan's face, he frowned with his mouth wide open, and his whole face was written with surprise. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Zhen and Wang Linshuo stood side by side with a gun, their faces half puzzled and half nervous. Katsuko stared at the cave, holding her breath, but her face showed a little curiosity. Uncle Lu stretched his neck to look into the hole in the ground, and after a long sigh of relief, he stepped aside and sat down.
I proudly grabbed Wang Linshuo's hand and climbed out, Zhang Siyuan looked at me for a long time before he relieved himself and said, "I didn't expect you to really crawl out from under my ass...... Could it be that this is a temporary hole dug by the two of you? ”
Hu San pushed him and said, "Your imagination is really rich enough." Do you have any water to drink? There's half a jar of water down here, and if you don't dislike us for drinking it, go down." ”
Zhang Siyuan and Wang Linshuo glanced at each other, and said in surprise: "How can there be drinkable water here, you two won't be poisoned, right?" ”
I was a little impatient, and pointed with my hand, "Go down and see for yourselves." ”
After a while, there were exclamations from several people in the cave, followed by the sound of drinking water. Hu San and I looked at each other and smiled, I breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
After a short break, several people began to catch up. I learned that after the storm had subsided, the few of them immediately got up and marched, but no matter how much they counted and searched, they could not find me. After several attempts to dig the yellow sand to no avail, they reluctantly got up and left, but left me a hint in the same place.
Wang Zhen sighed: "You don't know how anxious we were at that time, the GPS was broken, no matter how much you shouted or dug five feet into the ground, we couldn't find you." I doubt you're gone with the wind. ”
I smiled awkwardly: "At that time, when the wind and sand were in full swing, my old illness recurred, and I lost consciousness all of a sudden, and it is estimated that I should have been blown away 108,000 miles." I woke up in the middle of the night and met Hu San, and the two of them stumbled here together. ”
Hu San, who had been sitting beside him with his cheeks up, suddenly stood up and interrupted our chat: "Time is running out, it's almost two days now, if your physical strength is still good, let's leave quickly." ”
Although I was a little reluctant to give up the shade and comfort here, I still stood up with my sore legs. Katsuko stood in front of me, looking at me without saying anything, her eyes a little evasive, and she didn't dare to look directly at me. I was puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
He stumbled a little, turned his back and whispered, "You...... Is it a living person? ”
I smiled dumbly, and leaned in to grab his dodging hand and put it on my face: "If you touch it, will the skin of a dead man be so warm and elastic?" ”
He nodded, withdrew his hand, his eyes flashed with strange colors, and walked out of the house quickly. I'm still wondering, but I heard Wang Linshuo laugh and said, "Why did you two tie the camel to such a hidden place, no wonder I didn't notice it when I came." ”
I smiled at him and continued to walk through the scorching sun and heat. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Hu San and I had found the right direction in our panic, and Katsuko said that the door of the cabin kept moving forward, and we could find what we wanted. I walked breathlessly in the desert, thinking back to the leisurely ride of the camel this morning, and regretting that I had not ridden it for more than ten kilometers.
Uncle Lu took out the tent and sleeping bag, and after setting it up, he ordered: "While the weather is calm today, hurry up and rest, and everyone will get up early tomorrow and hurry." Tonight I will be on the same page for an hour, and I will start the first shift first. ”
Zhang Siyuan stopped Uncle Lu with a smile and said, "Why do you go to bed so early?" The nightlife hasn't started yet, so you have to have a late-night snack before going to sleep. ”
Uncle Lu silently took out a few pieces of chocolate and handed them to him: "Only these are the ones that don't dry your mouth after eating." ”
Zhang Siyuan was a little discouraged, but he still grabbed a large piece and chewed it. After eating, he clapped his hands, pushed Uncle Lu, who was sitting on the sand, into the tent and said, "You are old, you might as well be on the last shift." Young people like us don't fall asleep or wake up early, and you sleep less than me, so please go first. ”
Uncle Lu was helpless, glared at him and said angrily: "Don't you just don't want to sleep now, how can there be so many excuses." Why didn't I find out that you were so fond of talking nonsense before, I was annoyed enough that I wouldn't have brought you here if I had known. ”
Zhang Siyuan laughed dryly, walked out and closed the door of the tent. Wang Linshuo yawned and said, "I'm tired, go to sleep first, and call me when I turn over the shift." ”
Wang Zhen, Hu San, and Shengzi all covered their mouths with their hands and walked into the tent with sleepy eyes. Zhang Siyuan saw that they were all listless, and couldn't help but panic a little: "Why did you go to sleep?" Why don't you come and see the desert night view? ”
Wang Zhen said in a low voice: "What's so beautiful, it's cold and it seems to be able to freeze people alive into popsicles." ”
I couldn't help laughing, walked over to Zhang Siyuan with a yellow robe and said, "I have a baby here, let me bend down and accompany you to see the night scene for a while." ”
Darkness covered the entire desert, and the yellow sand, which was usually monotonous, was deprived of its only color. The cold wind hit our faces and froze our features. I looked at the vast black sea, my eyelids involuntarily fighting, and the sleepiness began to spread again. Zhang Siyuan suddenly pushed me, and I said in a daze: "I'm sleepy, I'm going back, don't push me." ”
He snorted and whispered in my ear: "Sleep, sleep, get up and watch the show." ”
I barely opened my eyes, half dissatisfied, half exhausted, only to see two patterned animals tumbling not far away. Zhang Siyuan pointed to the fat, round animal above and said, "A rabbit." ”
I squinted my eyes, and through the white moonlight, I could see that the rabbit's fur was dented by a slender rope, no, how could the rope raise its head? I rubbed my eyes and looked closely, and subconsciously moved my body back. Wrapped around it, it turned out to be a rattlesnake!
Zhang Siyuan's eyes did not blink, and he said in a breath: "Fortunately, this snake is not big, and it doesn't look like it has grown up yet—but it still poses a big threat to us, and a drop of its venom can make a person's arm rot." Shine your moves and watch carefully. ”
I was a little nervous and a little excited, it was the first time I had seen a live rattlesnake. I once visited the zoo, but it hid in the sand and wouldn't come out. The rattlesnake wrapped itself tightly around the rabbit, and its body tightened more and more. The rattlesnake suddenly loosened its body, raised its head high, showed its shiny fangs, and took a bite at the rabbit.
The rabbit let out a terrible, high-pitched wail, and collapsed like a deflated ball, blood spurting from its wounds, and it convulsed in pain. The rattlesnake opened its mouth to an incredible extent, and wanted to swallow the rabbit in one gulp, but it was a little laborious to try several times in a row. It held its head high, as if thinking about something. I was about to stealthily pull out my gun and kill the snake, when suddenly I fell into darkness.
When I looked up, I couldn't help but be shocked to see a gray-black bird with an incomparably hard, curved beak and vicious eyes parked in the sky above my head. It was bigger than I could have imagined, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was slightly inferior to the largest pterosaur, the Aeolian Pterodactyl. It obscured the moonlight, paused only a moment in the air, and suddenly swooped down, swallowing the rattlesnake that had just been victorious, and it didn't even have time to resist.
I looked at its huge and powerful wings and its two claws, which could easily grasp three or four people, and I couldn't help but tremble in fright, and my brain went blank, and I didn't know what to do. The giant bird's head turned, and its fierce eyes suddenly glanced over to us. There was no time for people to react, and it screamed at a thunderous speed, and a gust of fishy wind blew straight towards us.
Zhang Siyuan shouted, turned his head and went to shoot the tent fiercely. I held the gun in both hands and fired at it with all my might. But the giant bird was so great that even though all my bullets were tilted at it, it did not look in any pain, and its body froze, and it pounced on me more ferocentricly.
Wang Zhen poked his head out sleepily, and after seeing the giant bird, a foul word was louder than anyone scolded. I rolled on the ground to dodge its claws as I shot at it. The sand blinded my eyes and cut my skin, but I didn't dare to stop for a moment.
Hu San threw a dagger at it again, and it rained bullets, but he couldn't hit the target. The giant bird pounced on me for a while, and then turned around to peck at Wang Linshuo's eyes, seeing that the situation was more critical than any time, Uncle Lu suddenly shouted and came to me, and then a black thing flew over my head towards the giant bird.
