Chapter 35 Turning Point
"Did we get rid of them?" More than twenty minutes later, Ren Wei looked behind him and found no trace of the monster, but he still asked Avril uncertainly.
Avril didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and kept driving through the forest at full speed. "Even if we get rid of it, it's temporary, the marks we've left are too obvious, and they seem to have other means of finding us."
"So what do we do now?" When Ren Wei heard this, he was a little at a loss.
"Keep running, and if we can cross the Dabiru River, we have a chance to get rid of them completely." Avril said.
"Why?" Ren Wei was puzzled.
"Remember when we escaped by boat? With the monster's bouncing ability, it would have been easy to jump into the boat and kill us, but it didn't do so, and it didn't even dare to go down the river, so I deduced that they were afraid of water. Avril explained to Ren Wei.
Ren Wei carefully recalled the scene at that time. "I hope you're right, where do we go after that?" Ren Wei sighed.
Avril was silent for a moment before replying, "Get out of here first, the farther away the better." ”
The motorcycle moved forward again for more than ten minutes, and there was a faint sound of running water in front of them, and the two of them were in good spirits.
The next moment, the two of them suddenly opened up, and a river appeared in front of them, which was the Dabiru River.
Avril stopped the motorcycle by the river, Ren Wei jumped out of the car, looked at the situation of the river, and then said to Avril: "I'm afraid the motorcycle is going to be thrown here, we can't get it across the river." ”
But without a reply from Avril, Ren Wei turned his head a little strangely and saw Avril wandering towards the river.
Ren Wei walked up to Avril Lavigne and raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"It's open to traffic! It's not obvious, but there's still a little bit of artificiality. It's a very discreet road along the riverbank. Avril said with some excitement.
Ren Wei was puzzled by Avril's emotions and asked, "What does that mean?" ”
"I have a guess that, if true, it would be very helpful for our current situation. We don't cross the river first, ride along the road upstream, and if we run into a monster along the way, we jump into the river. Avril proposed the next course of action.
This did not conflict with the previous plan, and Ren Wei naturally had no objections.
So the two got on their motorbikes and moved up the river.
For a period of time, everything was peaceful, and Ren Wei breathed a sigh of relief. But it wasn't long before he heard an uneasy sound behind the car, and he looked back to see the monsters chasing after him along the road. It seems that with no obstacles, they are completely at a disadvantage at the speed of their motorcycle.
However, Ren Wei was not particularly frightened, he really couldn't get rid of it, they still had a back road worth trying, so he said to Avril Lavigne calmly: "Avril, those monsters behind are catching up again." ”
"Got it, when they get closer, I'll drive the car directly into the river, remember to take a deep breath in advance, and be ready to jump out ......of the car" Avril was still explaining to Ren Wei what she was going to do for a while, but before she finished speaking, there was a strange noise in the forest on the side, and the next moment, a monster pounced out.
Caught off guard, Avril only had time to tilt the head of the car, squeeze the brakes with both hands, and lean desperately away from the monster at the same time.
At the last moment, the motorcycle slid through the gap between the monster and the ground in a sliding manner.
Although they dodged the blow, the two were still in danger, because the motorcycle lost control at the last moment, rolled on the ground, throwing the two out of the way, and in the process of rolling, the body hit the inflexible Avril Lavigne's already injured leg, making Avril's situation worse.
Ren Wei fell to the ground and rolled twice, unloaded the momentum, looked up, and his eyes were about to crack. I saw that the monster was only a few meters away from Avril, and it had reached out of its claws and pierced Avril Lavigne.
Seeing that Avril was about to die, Ren Wei burst out of strength out of nowhere, kicked the ground with his legs, and was the last to come, stretched out his hands to pick up Avril on the ground, and rolled into the turbulent river of the Dabiru River.
The moment they dodged, the monster's sharp bone spurs plunged deep into where Avril had been.
The icy river surrounded the two, and Ren Wei didn't dare to show his head, so he swam to the other side with all his strength. Avril accidentally choked on a mouthful of water when she fell into the water, but she quickly restrained her panic, calmed herself, held her breath, and wrapped her hands around Ren Wei's waist motionless.
Ren Wei didn't know how far he swam, until he couldn't hold his breath anymore, he took Avril Lavril out of the water violently, and after coming out of the water, Ren Wei checked whether his position was safe for the first time.
Seeing the surrounding situation clearly, Ren Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was still five or six meters away from the other bank, and the monsters could only roar at them from twenty meters away. What he was most worried about before was that Avril's speculation was wrong, if the monster could go into the water, then this time it would not be able to leave no matter what, and now that it was safe, Ren Wei swam to the other side with confidence.
As soon as he made a move, one of the monsters jumped into the river without hesitation, which shocked Ren Wei's hairs all over his body and stood up, and he had to paddle wildly to the shore with all his might.
When he arrived at the river, Ren Wei climbed ashore with his hands and feet, turned around and dragged Avril out of the water, and then ran desperately on Avril on his back.
After running a distance, Ren Wei suddenly found that the two remaining monsters on the other side of the river were also running after him, and he noticed that the monsters that entered the river had never surfaced.
"Haha! It turns out that you really don't know how to water, you just want to scare Lao Tzu, and almost let you monsters cheat. He said this to vent his nervousness, Ren Wei didn't dare to really relax his vigilance, he consciously stayed away from the river bank for a distance, and then ran.
"Avril, what the hell is up there, can you tell me now?" Ren Wei, who was running, couldn't help but ask.
"There's probably a camp there." Avril said weakly.
"Camp? What kind of camp? Ren Wei was attracted by the content of Avril's words and did not notice Avril's state.
"The camp of the lab guards, there should be supplies, weapons, and transportation there." Avril's voice grew deeper.
"Lab Guardian? There are guards who still make such a big mess? And how are we going to get those things you said from the camp? We are just two wounded! You don't think they're going to save us, do you? Is it too late for them to silence? When Ren Wei heard this, he felt that Avril was really dizzy, and he actually came up with this place as a destination.
"No, there's no one there, they're all dead, and the 'night stalker' you saw before who killed our companions and later turned into monsters should be the last person in that camp, codenamed 'Scavenger'." Avril's voice grew quieter.
"What? He's the lab keeper?! I remember you said that he was one of the centaurs who went to Hurricane Town, didn't that mean ......" Ren Wei finally knew that the Smiths who had fought side by side and shared hardships were no longer lucky, and at the same time, he also discovered Avril's abnormality. "Hey! What happened to you! ”
The nervous Ren Wei hurriedly put Avril on the ground, put his hand in front of Avril's nose and tested his snort, making him a little relieved that Avril was still alive. Then he touched Avril's forehead with his hand, and then touched his own, and found that Avril's forehead was very hot, Ren Wei's face changed, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, so he took Avril's hand, rolled up his sleeve along her arm, felt the temperature with the back of his hand, and lifted Avril's shirt again, and also tested the temperature of his abdomen with the back of his hand, and finally lifted his trouser hem and touched his calf, everything was normal.
Ren Wei sat down on the ground, feeling like he was going to be after the catastrophe.
After taking a few deep breaths, Ren Wei got up and stretched out his hand to carry Avril back on his back, but when he looked at it, he was startled. It turned out that at some point, Avril had opened her eyes and was looking at him intently.
Ren Wei coughed dryly: "That, I see that you seem to have fainted, so I am worried about you, see if you are serious, uh, I am still a little tired, so I rested." ”
Seeing that Avril still didn't speak, Ren Wei had to change the topic awkwardly: "Ah, I'm resting, let's continue on our way." After saying that, he didn't dare to look at Avril Lavigne's eyes anymore, and he didn't care about Avril's reaction, so he directly carried her on his back and continued to run forward.
While running, Ren Wei secretly scolded himself in his heart: "What are you lacking in! You didn't think about it! What is there to be embarrassed about! Unintentionally, he turned his head and saw that the monster on the other side was still chasing after him from the other side, and he was angry from his heart, and yelled at the monster on the other side: "What do you bastards look at, Lao Tzu has not done anything, what is there to see!" ”
After scolding, he didn't feel happy at all, but felt more cowardly, so Ren Wei held his breath depressedly and ran hard.
After running for another half an hour, Ren Wei saw a change in the scene: several large tents in camouflage were erected in an open field, and in the center of the open space were two Humvees of the same kind that Avril had driven before, and at the same time, there was a pile of tarpaulin-covered things not far from the car.
"This must be the camp of the laboratory guards that Avril said, it seems that there are indeed a lot of supplies left as Avril said, and with those things, the chances of survival for myself and Avril will be greatly increased. But ......" Ren Wei thought of this, and finally shouted as if he was crazy: "Thief God! Are you not playing with me! Even if these things can take down all the monsters in minutes, but now that they're all on the other side, how the can I get them?! ”
