003 Strange wandering skeletons
Zhou Qing muttered as he walked, at this time the sun gradually turned westward, but the surrounding area was still an empty grassland, the most strange thing was that there were no beasts, insects on this grassland, and not even a bird in the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhou Qing walked for a long time, feeling that the soles of his feet were extremely sore, and the skin where the soles of his feet touched the ground seemed to be a little loose and sour, very similar to the feeling of grinding out blisters, looking at the gentle slope that gradually became higher in front of him, he sighed, sat on the grass with his ass, took off his shoes and socks, and suddenly a sour smell permeated. He pinched his nose and threw his shoes and socks downwind, rubbed his right hand on a handful of grass, suddenly laughed involuntarily, shook his head, grinned, and rubbed his two stinky feet against each other, stretched out, and then opened the clothes package, took out a fruit, cut it and ate it slowly.
After a little rest, he looked up and saw that the sun was almost touching the horizon, and there was a sense of weakness and fear in his heart, in this desolate grassland, he didn't dare to fall asleep at all, for fear that when he woke up, there would be some strange monster around him, or he wouldn't wake up at all, and he would be swallowed directly by something into his stomach and become excrement.
After putting on his shoes and socks, Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, going up and down three gentle slopes in a row, and when the sun was almost half set, he finally found that there was a sparse forest in front of him, and the trunks of those trees were hugged by four or five people, the branches were like dragons dancing, most of the trees were bare, and there was not a single leaf on the brown and black branches like iron, only in the middle of this sparse forest, a big tree was extremely thick and lush, not only the trunk was almost two or three times thicker than other trees, The canopy-like foliage also shades the sky and the sun, blocking the space above the other trees.
Zhou Qing swallowed his saliva, the branches of this strange forest showed a terrifying desolation and dead silence in the dusk, but he had no other way at the moment, at least it was relatively safe to spend the night in the trees than the barren grassland where he had nothing to rely on.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky had not yet completely darkened, he quickened his speed to the edge of the sparse woods, cut down some dead branches with his long sword, and piled up the dead leaves on the ground, and cleared all the dead branches and leaves around him, and then began to drill wood to make fire.
Although it seemed very simple to watch those wilderness survival experts drilling wood to make fire on TV in the past, Zhou Qing was busy until the sun sank, and he felt that he was about to grind off his hands, so he barely ignited the dead leaves and raised a fire.
Adding a pile of dead branches little by little, seeing that the fire was getting stronger, the fire light was shaking, and in this darkness, Zhou Qing finally had a little more warmth and security.
Zhou Qing was exhausted at the moment, only to see that it was dark all around, but except for the sound of the wind, there was no sound of living creatures, which always made him a little uneasy and apprehensive, and added a lot of dead branches in the campfire, Zhou Qing climbed to the top of the trunk, found a fork like a dragon's claw, adjusted the posture of lying down and fell asleep, although it was not comfortable to sleep on it, but the shape of the branch made it difficult for him to turn over and fall down even if he fell asleep. In a daze, Zhou Qing's panic and exhaustion all day finally overshadowed the simple and uncomfortable tree bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long it took, there was a strange sound in Zhou Qing's ears, it seemed to be like the sound of joints clicking, and it seemed to be the sound of teeth colliding with each other during the Cold War. He looked sideways and looked down, only to see that closer to the place, white shadows were moving back and forth a little staggeringly. When he looked at it, he was frightened by the horror of the dead, and the white shadows of two green flames fluttered on these heads, and they were all skeletons—undead skeletons wandering aimlessly around the sparse woods.
A cold air suddenly rushed in from the door of his head, penetrating the entire spine, which made Zhou Qing's back gush out of a large cold sweat, and he couldn't help but shiver, he tried to hold his breath, quietly turned over, and sat up with his hands and feet trembling.
After observing with fear for a long time, Zhou Qing realized that these undead skeletons all over the grassland seemed to be just wandering around the periphery of the sparse woods, turning and turning around at a certain distance from the woods, and only then did he feel a little relieved.
But even so, listening to the sound of the bones walking, where could he continue to sleep peacefully, he only felt a little hungry and thirsty, but the coat wrapped in fruit was still under the tree, on the ground next to the campfire.
And the flames of the campfire have become very weak at the moment, and it seems that it will not last long.
Zhou Qing felt that he was really hungry and thirsty, so he could only climb down the tree slowly, his eyes kept looking at the skeletons that looked like an old man walking, carefully touched the edge of the campfire, hung the coat wrapped in fruit behind his back, and was about to go up the tree, but he couldn't help but pick up a few handfuls of dead branches and add them to the campfire that was about to be extinguished, and saw the flames gradually rising. Only then did he quickly climb the tree like a thief, rubbed a few times to the fork, and after sitting down, he saw the group of skeletons wandering unresponsively, and his pounding heart calmed down a little.
Taking off his coat, Zhou Qing picked up a fruit and took a small bite to eat, this fruit was picked for a long time, and the taste at the moment was a little less sour, a little more sweet, and it tasted more mellow and delicious, with an endless aftertaste.
After eating two fruits in a row, Zhou Qing put on his coat, put the only remaining fruit in his pocket, and lay down on the trunk of the tree slightly. I don't know if he finished eating, or if Zhou Qing was used to those skeletons that only swayed around but didn't show any danger, at this moment his mood was no longer panicked and frightened at the beginning, but entered a rare calm.
And the night was deep, the dead branches in the campfire made a slight crackling sound, Zhou Qing felt a little sleepy again, and at this moment put on his coat, his body was no longer cool, and soon he fell into a deep sleep again.
The dazzling sunlight made Zhou Qing wake up again, at this time the sky was white, the sun was in the sky, although the branches under him made him sleep uncomfortable, and his neck was also a little uncomfortable, but his energy also recovered a lot. He stood on the big tree, looked at the other big trees around him, and felt a strange feeling in his heart, and the lush towering giant tree in the center gave Zhou Qing an urge and desire to find out.
