Chapter 10: Nap
"You've seen these things before, why are they like this? Just because we left their territory? ”
"I don't know, I've seen these things twice with the captain, but I've never seen them like this!"
It was the bald man who didn't want to answer him, and Eleven glanced back, but the expression on his face was as calm as his breathing, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Eleven wanted to ask again, but after looking at his face, he stopped, and after a while, Lin Jiao's voice rang out.
"Although they have their territory, they are no different from primitive people when they chase us. They will always try to catch you or kill you in their familiar territory. But after you run out of their territory, they gradually feel that the pursuit is hopeless, and they are not familiar with the surrounding environment, so they will choose to gradually stop the pursuit.
But they don't have absolute territorial boundaries, and they're not robots, or computer NPCs, so how can they suddenly stop at a certain distance, and they're weird now......"
"They're gone!"
"Well, their reactions are very abnormal, I don't know what's weird, we need to be more careful."
After saying this, Lin Jiao put down the box in her hand and the "seeds" and backpack behind her
"Let's rest for three minutes," said her, looking up at the sky through a gap in the trees that the brook had carved out between the trees, "and it may be an hour before it gets dark, and we must find a camping spot before dark, or we may not survive tonight." ”
"You have energy drinks and high-energy compressed biscuits in your backpacks, Xiaofeng, and you, you can replenish your energy if you need it."
"Okay, okay, Sister Jiao, thank you, that ...... Also, I'm sorry, I ...... Just...... It's a drag on everyone. ”
The short-haired beauty smiled at her and said, "Little girl, you're welcome, alas! After all, you've only experienced the quest world once, and the enhancement is limited, so such a quest is too difficult for you. ”
"It's all because of you!"
Lei Yue suddenly yelled at Eleven.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"You...... You're still pretending?! ”
"Enough! And the strength to quarrel?! Don't think it's dangerous enough? Or do you think you have a long life? ”
Lin Jiao interrupted the quarrel between Eleven and Lei Yue with a low snort, and then everyone fell silent, either sorting out their backpacks or replenishing their energy.
About a minute later, Lin Jiao took out the map from her bag, and then gave everyone a gesture to signal everyone to move closer.
"Let's confirm our location first," she glanced at the other four and continued, "We should have been in the forest for no more than 30 minutes now, and the sun was on our left hand side, so we should have moved north, and the distance we moved should be about ten kilometers. Ten kilometers to the north and a river, we should be in this area. ”
As she spoke, her fingers drew circles somewhere on the map, and all three of them nodded when they heard it, except for Eleven.
Looking at the only eleven who didn't nod and looked a little strange, Lin Jiao couldn't help asking, "What?" Boy, do you have something to say? ”
"Ahem! Well, haven't you been in the woods before? I'd like to ask you how you used to find your way in the woods. ”
"We all had bracelet positioning before!" After drinking some of that orange-yellow energy drink, the girl seemed to have regained her vitality, and after rushing to say this, she seemed to think of something, stuck out her tongue and said, "But I've only experienced it once, Sister Jiao...... I don't know. ”
"Humph!" It was the answer of someone who wanted to tear him apart.
"All the tasks we have experienced before can be positioned with the bracelet, boy, don't play tricks, just say what you want to say!"
Lin Jiao was calm, even though she was very strong and didn't trust Eleven much, but she didn't directly deny Eleven because of this.
"Then I'll say, well, it's true that when we came in, it's true, but when we were in the woods, we didn't run in a straight line, at first we went north, and then when we met the 'monkeys' who rode wild boars, we were running east, so now, we should be in this place."
After speaking, Eleven pointed his finger to another place on the map in Lin Jiao's hand.
It is a little far from the place that Lin Jiao just pointed to, the two of them are next to two different tributaries, and the place where Lin Jiao is referring is roughly east-west. And where the eleven refers to, the river runs in an arc to the southeast, then to the east, and then to the northeast.
"I can't believe him, I definitely don't have a good heart!"
"Sister Jiao won't make mistakes, you...... You must be wrong! ”
"How do you prove that what you say is right?"
Lei Yue, Xiaofeng, and Lin Jiao spoke one after another, but the attitudes of the three were completely different.
"I ......"
Eleven had just spoken, but was interrupted by the bald man's movements. I saw that he took out a tactical dagger of more than 30 centimeters from the backpack at his feet, and at the same time took out a map.
Eleven frowned slightly, but just looked at him, and didn't speak, but Lei Yue opened his mouth.
"Brother Zhu? What are you doing?"
"I looked along the river and knew if what he said was true or not."
After saying that, he didn't look back, and ran out along one end of the river. At this time, although he was still tall after losing those weights, his gait was very light and his movements were fast, looking at his back, Eleven suddenly felt that maybe it was not just Lin Jiao who was faster than him.
"Don't look at it, why do you think what you said is right?"
Glancing at the short-haired woman who was asking, Eleven didn't know what she was thinking, lowered her head, and only answered after a moment.
"I grew up in the woods, and when I was a kid, there was a time every year when the days were short, and I was playing in the woods at night almost every day, so it was easy to find directions in the woods."
"Huh? What is the reason for this? Boy, are you fooling us? ”
Obviously, no matter what Eleven thinks, such an answer will undoubtedly make people feel that he is perfunctory, even Lin Jiao, who has always been calm, is a little angry at the moment.
"I'm not fooling you, I'm telling the truth!"
Eleven stared at Lin Jiao's eyes, speaking slowly, with a correct attitude, and seemed very sincere.
"I don't care if you're telling the truth or not?! I asked you at what age you were weaned as a child? I'm asking about your way of finding directions in the woods, and you can't understand people? ”
Lin Jiao spoke quickly, her nose opened slightly, and her breathing became a little short, and she seemed to be really angry.
"There's no way to do it, just look at the branches and leaves, the south-facing side will be more lush, and if I remember correctly, these are all things that I learned when I was a child, right?"
Eleven didn't seem to be affected by Lin Jiao's emotions, and still replied as unpleasantly as before, looking very sincere.
But that was just a look, the boy could feel the inexplicable hostility and vigilance of several people except the girl, how could he have no reservations in this situation.
Looking at the branches and leaves of a tree is naturally a method, but it is by no means so simple and easy. In such a dense forest, it is difficult for the shorter trees to get the light, and their branches and leaves are relatively sparse, and wherever there is light, they grow in whichever direction of the light. All of them don't have a high level of referentiality, just find the bigger trees. However, from a human perspective, they are often blocked by low trees, so it takes experience to really orient themselves in dense forests.
Not only that, but the sparse and sporadic light, the flow of the river, etc., can help to identify the direction, but if it weren't for some long-term field workers, it would be difficult to have such experience, and Eleven could probably guess from their words that these people relied on the bracelets in their hands very much.
But he is different, if in the previous mission, when he can use the bracelet, it will be his biggest disadvantage, but now it is the other way around.
After the three people on the other side listened to Eleven's words, although some people were still skeptical of his words, they did not continue to entangle with him, and they were all silently looking at the branches and leaves above their heads......
Suddenly, a shout caught their attention.
