Chapter Forty-Eight: Overnight in the Mountains and Forests

In the woods, Li Xintong and Zhang Jiqian walked southward one after the other. Zhang Jiqian, www.biquge.info the pen %fun %pavilion, estimated the speed of the two people's progress, and only walked a few kilometers in the morning.

"You can't go this way." Li Xintong poured the last bit of sleep in the kettle into his mouth, "It's only been one morning, and a pot of water has gone down, which is too stuffy." Li Xintong tugged at the collar to let the inside of the clothes breathe, but he just tugged at it, but did not untie the neckline.

"Maybe the fat man had the right idea, we need to find the road and walk back along the road."

"Highway? How to find? I couldn't read the map at all, and I didn't know where I was anymore when the black light threw us down. ”

Zhang Jiqian took out the map and compared it for a long time, "I don't know where it is, probably here." ”

Looking at the area of Zhang Jiqian's finger, Li Xintong exhaled, "If it's here, it's not far from the highway!" ”

"The point is that I'm not sure, there's no reference in this forest."

As a native of the country, Zhang Jiqian has been to the Great Black Mountain. But the tourist routes of the old times were completely different from the current way, and when the two of them set foot on a nearby mountain, they were completely dumbfounded.

"I'm X, so big?"

For the first time, Li Xintong and Zhang Jiqian felt that a suburban scenic spot in front of their homes, a mountain with little reputation, was so big.

Qi Biao stared at the students who were climbing up on the contour line, and smiled, the boys probably found out. Climb to the top of the mountain to find the road? The silver-gray highway of the old era has been badly damaged by explosions and mutated creatures, and the crazy growth of plants has covered a large part of the road, and even if you stand on a high place, you may not be able to see anything. And the area of this mountain is 23 square kilometers, and the landing point of all the students is carefully calculated, far away from the town, remote enough, and it is difficult to find a road.

This is not because the students are lazy, but because the danger in abandoned towns is much higher than in the forest.

The two of them walked in the forest again, one foot deeper, one foot and one shallow, and they didn't go far, Zhang Jiqian also felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, which was too stuffy. In such an environment, people are easily fatigued and carried, and alertness and reflexes are constantly declining. Li Xintong, who was walking in front, was already wandering around without vigilance, and such a trailblazer had lost its own meaning.

"Stop, don't go."

"Huh?"

"Can you hear me, the sound of water?"

This time, Zhang Jiqian took the lead, and the two of them found a stream five hundred meters away.

"You're amazing, you can hear the stream so far away!" Lying on the bank, Li Xintong touched the rushing stream with his hand, "Can you drink this?" ”

The radiation in the vicinity of the Geiger counter is not very high in reality, but this does not mean that the radiation in the water is the same. Sticking my hand into the water, my skin was still slightly itchy, which was similar to the bath water in the base, about the standard of three levels of water.

"Just boil."

Walking along the river, although there are many detours and the road is slippery and muddy, it saves the trouble of fighting waist-high artemisia grass and shrubs, and the open business also makes it easier to detect dangers in advance. The two men walked along the river until it was dark, and then they picked a spacious and dry place to stop.

The pale blue flames of the solid fuel block were dancing quietly, and the compressed biscuits would taste much better if they were thrown into hot water to soak. In the first half of the night, Li Xintong came to keep vigil, and the task during this time was relatively easy. It was already three o'clock in the middle of the night, and the people in the realm had been replaced by Zhang Jiqian an hour ago.

The blue flame of the fuel block was gradually extinguished, its task was accomplished, and the wet wood that had been set on it was already on fire. It's not summer yet, and the woods, which are a little stuffy during the day, are still a little cold at night. Zhang Jiqian didn't remember how many times he had extinguished the fire, and the moist firewood was not easy to burn, and he didn't dare to add too much at once, because they hadn't collected too much firewood.

Fortunately, there are enough solid energy blocks that can be rekindled with this burn-resistant gadget every time the fire goes out. Zhang Jiqian silently operated the exercises of nian qi cultivation, slowly accumulating nian qi. Ears, instead of eyes, monitor the surroundings.

The moonlight is murmuring, the clear stream, and the bonfire is peeling, and the picture is like a camping in the old days. Li Xintong snored, Li Xintong held the pistol in his hand, and gently touched the pig teammates next to him with his toes.

"Huh? Is there a situation? Li Xintong, who was in a daze, got up, groping around looking for his crossbow, like himself who woke up to find his mobile phone during the holiday in the old days.

Zhang Jiqian put his hand to his mouth and made a silent gesture as he handed the crossbow to him.

After staying quietly for a minute, Li Xintong couldn't help it.

"What's wrong? I can't hear or see anything. ”

"I can't hear it either."

"That?"

It's strange if you can't hear it, since the start of the vigil, the insects and strange sounds around have not stopped, after being nervous for a while, Zhang Jiqian knows that these uninvited guests have no malicious intentions, and he seems to be an uninvited guest.

But five minutes ago, the voices had stopped, and even the most cheerful places had fallen silent. It's not that they're tired, it's that something scares them.

Li Xintong took out a strong flashlight, turned his head to look at Zhang Jiqian, and Zhang Jiqian nodded. Even if you have strengthened your senses, you are still more at ease with the "results you see". The flashlight was on, but the forest was still the same forest, and there was nothing unusual to see. As the flashlight moved back and forth, Zhang Jiqian saw something different. The density of plants seems to be declining rapidly with the cycle of searchlight.

Li Xintong also saw it. Alive?

Take out a cold firework from your backpack that can continue to burn, pull the fuse, and the firework is thrown into the bushes in a beautiful parabola. This time it was more obvious, and several of the surrounding plants shrank, retreated, and finally disappeared into the ground, behind the trunks, at a breakneck rate.

This surprised Li Xintong even more than the squirrel with big teeth during the day. Zhang Jiqian is better, after all, in the laboratory, he has seen some strange mutated creatures.

"That wasn't a snake just now, was it?" Li Xintong was a little stupid.

"Not really."

Thinking about the entangled shadows, both of them had a chill on their necks.

"Let's go, this place can't stay." The campfire was extinguished, and the two of them began to walk downstream by the moonlight.
