After staggering through the forest for dozens of meters, Bai Qi found a large pine tree with lush branches, pulled out a short knife, and cut it at a branch that he could reach.
He coughed softly as he cut down the tree, which was already the result of his best efforts to suppress it, and with each cough, a small amount of blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.
Every breath, even the slightest movement, caused a sharp pain in the wound in his lungs, and every cough was like a wooden stick stirring in his lungs to him.
Enduring the pain that made him faint, Bai Qi cut off the branch, shaved off the branches on the branch, and made a simple crutch.
Bai Qi walked on crutches towards the valley with artificial structures in his memory.
As he walked, he couldn't stop coughing, the pain in his chest had numbed him, but the blood gushing out of him worried him, and he could only swallow the blood back into his stomach as much as he could.
With a lot of blood loss and lack of oxygen, Bai Qitou began to feel dizzy, began to feel dry mouth, headache, and sometimes even fell into a state of unconsciousness, but even in a coma, he did not stop walking.
He persevered, and when it got dark, he had walked more than ten kilometers.
As the sky got dark, Bai Qi struggled, used all his strength, climbed a pine tree, put himself on several branches nearly ten meters above the ground, and tied his waist to a branch with his combat uniform.
After doing this, Bai Qi was completely unconscious.
The next morning, Bai Qi was awakened by a wolf howl, he opened his eyes, only to feel that the sky was spinning, and the sharp pain in his chest made it sweat with a slight movement.
He endured the pain and sat up from the tree.
Bai Qi glanced down at the wolves guarding under the tree, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
The wolves were not very numerous, only fifteen or sixteen, and they were of the same size.
These wolves were clearly not of the same species as Bai Qi in the city, they were larger and more ferocious than their relatives in the city.
There are a total of six small wolves in the pack, with a length of about one meter six, and ten large ones, with a length of nearly two meters and five, just like the wolves in a magic movie, their hair is gray, except for their huge size, they look no different from ordinary wolves, which shows that they should be a group of mutant wolves, not infected, but this is not good news for Bai Qi.
Being trapped in a not-so-tall tree by such a group of cunning and ferocious predators, Bai Qi didn't know what else he could do except smile bitterly.
However, he was not prepared to die.
Bai Qi took off his rifle from his chest, held it in his hand, and aimed at the wolves under the tree.
Bai Qi's sudden movement made the group of wolves a little alert, and the several mutant wolves who were originally lying on the ground and waiting all stood up and looked at Bai Qi vigilantly.
After all, wolves are beasts, they don't understand what the gun in Bai Qi's hand is, nor do they understand what Bai Qi's movements represent, they all look at Bai Qi with a vigilant and curious gaze.
Bai Qi carefully aimed at the eyes of a giant wolf, held his breath, and gently pulled the trigger.
Bump, there was a loud bang, and the giant wolf that was aimed at by Bai Qi jumped up suddenly, and then fell to the ground again, twitching on the ground for a moment, and then stopped moving.
Bai Qi was lucky, and the bullet pierced its brain through its left eye.
The wolves scattered and fled after the sudden death of their companions, but they did not go far, looking this way in the woods not far away.
Bai Qi fired a few more shots and wounded a few before the wolves retreated into the depths of the forest.
Bai Qi knew that the wolves would definitely not leave, so he hesitated for a moment, unwilling to wait for death, but decided to go down the tree.
Before going down the tree, Bai Qi took out half a pack of chocolates from his backpack, took out half a bottle of mineral water from his arms, ate high-calorie chocolate, drank half a bottle of mineral water, rested for a while, felt a little regained, and struggled to climb down from the tree.
Picking up yesterday's crutches, he continued to walk forward.
The action of climbing the tree just now caused blood to gush out of the wound in his lungs, which was no longer bleeding, and he began to cough up blood again.
Not long after leaving, Bai Qi found that the wolves had followed again.
Perhaps because of the horror of the rifle, the wolves did not approach him too much, they may have seen that Bai Qi was dying, and wanted to wait for him to die, and the wolves were never impatient.
With a pack of wolves behind his buttocks, Bai Qi trekked through the forest for most of the day and came to a meadow in the woods.
He chose a place in the middle of the grass because there was a lot of sand and gravel, and the weeds were sparse and lay down, holding the automatic rifle tightly in both hands.
Not long after, a little wolf came out of the grass, it was not in a hurry to approach, but stared at Bai Qi for a while, and actually lay down seven or eight meters away from him.
Soon, several more wolves came out of the grass, and they were all guarding seven or eight meters away from Bai Qi.
After another ten minutes, the little wolf who was the first to get out of the grass stood up and slowly walked towards Bai Qi, it tentatively bit Bai Qi's ankle, but Bai Qi did not move.
It seemed that Bai Qi's death was confirmed, and the little wolf bit Bai Qi's ankle and dragged him back, and several wolves in the distance couldn't wait to pounce on Bai Qi when they saw this.
At this moment, Bai Qi suddenly sat up and pulled the trigger on the head of the little wolf that was biting his ankle, and the bullet instantly shattered its head.
The sudden sound of gunfire made the other terrible wolves who had seen the guns turn and flee in surprise, and Bai Qi raised his gun and shot repeatedly, injuring several more wolves.
The wounded wolves quickly escaped Bai Qi's sight, and he struggled to his feet again, continuing to walk towards the valley with the artificial structure.
Bai Qi trekked forward for another four or five kilometers with difficulty, looking at the gradually darkening sky, the despair in his heart became even stronger, it has been two days, and in his character panel, the challenge task "Hope" is still unfinished.
It seems that either something happened to the yellow-haired plane, or the mission had to personally send the group of survivors to Fox Town.
The second point, Bai Qi had thought of it a long time ago, but he never mentioned it.
The pain made Bai Qi's body close to its limit, but he was still unwilling to give up.
It took him half an hour to barely climb a big tree, tie himself to a branch seven or eight meters above the ground, eat half a box of chocolates, drink half a bottle of mineral water, and then fall asleep again.
When he woke up the next day, Bai Qi felt cold and shivering, he touched his cheek, his hand was hot, and he had a fever.
This is also expected, the injury not only made his body drop rapidly, but also made his immunity drop greatly.
Bai Qi looked down at the bottom of the tree, but he didn't see the wolves, but he knew that they would not give up, and they must be waiting for him to die in the woods not far away.
Bai Qi suddenly smiled, and muttered a little nervously: "If you want to eat me, I won't let you get your wish, and when I'm about to die, I'll tie myself to a tall branch so that you can see and eat." ”
After a moment of bitter amusement, Bai Qi took out the last half of the box of chocolates from his backpack, ate the last half of the bottle of mineral water, threw away the chocolate box and the empty bottle, and Bai Qi struggled to slip down the tree.
After getting off the tree, Bai Qi leaned on the trunk of the tree and gasped for a long time before struggling to walk towards the east on crutches.
Bai Qi walked extremely hard today, after walking a few hundred meters along the valley to the east, he began to cough, and the sharp pain caused by the cough made his whole body weak, and his feet became more and more difficult.
Bai Qi looked up at the surrounding terrain, this place was at least more than ten kilometers away from that valley and lake, with his current state, he would definitely not be able to walk more than ten kilometers, with his physical condition, I am afraid it would be difficult to spend tonight.
Bai Qi muttered: "It seems that I can't go there, but if I don't take a look, I won't give up after all!" As he spoke, Bai Qi raised his head and looked at the surrounding peaks.
It soon dawned on him that if he could climb the mountain not far to the north, he would be able to take a peek at the man-made structure through a telescope.
Bai Qi immediately changed direction and climbed towards the hillside.
The trees on the hillside gradually thinned, and Bai Qi could faintly see when he turned around, and the group of mutant wolves was following him a few hundred meters away.
Bai Qi looked up at the bare mountain peaks above, then at the trees around him, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "Forget it, I'll be cheap for you, anyway, I've already killed a few, and it's enough." ”
With that, he climbed to the top of the mountain with difficulty again.
Just as the sun was about to set, Bai Qi's gaze finally crossed a mountain beam in front of him, and he could see the man-made building located by the lake.
At this time, there was a steep mountain beam between Bai Qi and the man-made building, and it would take more than ten kilometers to get around the mountain beam and the lake to reach the building, but if you only count the straight-line distance, it would actually be only four or five thousand meters.
Through the telescope, Bai Qi clearly saw that a road, around the edge of the lake, led to the building.
An old courtyard stands under a mountain peak across the lake.
In the courtyard, three gray old buildings are distributed in the shape of finished characters.
For some reason, this somewhat dilapidated looking courtyard suddenly reminded Bai Qi of the military scientific research unit hidden deep in the mountains of his hometown many years ago.
In Bai Qi's hometown, deep in the mountains, there is a military scientific research unit built during the Cold War, and in the late nineties, this scientific research unit moved back to the big city, leaving some abandoned buildings deep in the mountains.
When Bai Qi was in high school, he once went there with his classmates.
The abandoned buildings are also located deep in the mountains and are connected by roads, so they don't look very big on the outside, but it is said that just behind the old buildings is a hollowed-out mountain with many mysterious things hidden inside.
Bai Qi took the binoculars and observed it carefully for a while, and suddenly became excited, he actually saw guards patrolling at the gate of the courtyard.
At first, the two guards stood motionless at the gate, and Bai Qi did not notice them because they were wearing camouflage uniforms with a deceptive color.
Fortunately, at this time, two guards happened to go out of the gate to change shifts, and Bai Qi noticed their deposits.
Bai Qi's heart, which was originally a little dead and silent because of despair, instantly came to life, and the intense change in love made his breathing become short, and he couldn't help coughing violently, and blood gushed out from his mouth and nose uncontrollably.
Bai Qi endured desperately, and finally suppressed the cough, he didn't care about wiping the blood from his mouth, picked up the binoculars again, and carefully observed the courtyard.
Since Bai Qi was located halfway up the mountain, he could just see the inside of the courtyard, and the two guards who had changed shifts just now seemed to have come out of the duty room at the gate.
After a brief movement of the guards, the courtyard became dead and silent again.
Bai Qi was a little anxious to wait, the sun was about to set at this time, the location he was in now was surrounded by rocks, there was no hiding place at all, if he stayed here for the night, it would definitely become a good meal for the wolves who had been following him.
With his physical condition at this time, it would take at least more than an hour to go down to a place where there was a forest on the mountainside.
The sudden hope that appeared made him want to survive again, and he planned to shoot first to see if he could get the attention of the survivors there, if not, he would go down the mountain first, enter the woods, find a big tree to spend the night, and wait until he survived tonight.
Just as Bai Qi was about to put away the binoculars, a roller shutter on the first floor of the building on the left side of the courtyard suddenly rose, and a person lowered his head and drilled out of the gate.
Seeing this figure, Bai Qi was first overjoyed, and then shocked, according to Bai Qi's observation, the floors of several old-fashioned buildings in this courtyard should not be low, at least four meters or more, judging by the relative height of the roller shutter, it is at least three meters and five meters high.
This person actually has to bow his head when he goes out, is he more than three meters five tall?
Bai Qi stared at the strangely dressed man tightly.
At this time, the last rays of the setting sun in the west happened to be obliquely shining along the valley on this courtyard, and Bai Qi actually saw the reflection of metal from this person.
After a closer look, Bai Qi found that this strange person seemed to be wearing a strange metal armor, and Bai Qi saw the entire metal reflection on his chest, forearms, buttocks, calves and feet, and on his waist and abdomen, upper arms, and thighs, Bai Qi saw fine metal reflections.
This strange person slowly walked around the courtyard and walked towards the courtyard gate, and when he walked out of the gate, Bai Qi's heart suddenly became cold.
This man's height was almost as tall as the gate, and the small door on the gate for humans to enter and exit was not enough for him to pass through, and the two guards opened the gate before he walked out, and when he walked past the two guards, Bai Qi clearly saw that the height of the two guards was only a little higher than his waist.
If the height of the two guards was normal, wouldn't it mean that this person was actually a giant with a height of nearly four meters. This made Bai Qi involuntarily think of the big man mutant he had seen twice.
At this time, the sun finally set over the mountains to the west, and the valley in the distance suddenly shrouded in shadow. Also sinking into the shadows is Bai Qi's heart.
Bai Qi put down the binoculars and couldn't help but let out a sad long laugh, accompanied by a cough and blood splattered in his mouth, so desperate.
What kind of secret is hidden behind this mutant who suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the deep mountains, Bai Qi is too lazy to think about it, he knows that his last bit of life has been cut off, and all he can do now is to wait for death.
Three full days passed, and there was still no news of the completion of the mission, he had no hope, and the only thing he hoped for now was that there was no news of the completion of the mission, because he did not arrive in Fox Town with the survivors, and he hoped that the Yellow Fur and them would survive.
Bai Qi glanced down at the bottom of the mountain, the wolves were wandering at the edge of the forest, he let out a long sigh, lay down on the hillside, took out a handful of ** from his waist, and slowly put it into his mouth.
Just when Bai Qi closed his eyes and was about to pull the trigger, an electronic voice sounded like a heavenly sound, "Soldier 4587, with your efforts, more than half of the survivors have arrived in Fox Town, the challenge mission 'Hope' has been completed, please choose to return immediately, or continue to stay in this mission space, if you choose to continue to stay, it is still a hundred days." ”
Pulling out the ** from his mouth, Bai Qi still couldn't help but let out a burst of wild laughter, in the wild laughter, he couldn't stop coughing, spitting blood, but he didn't care at all, until he couldn't breathe from laughing, and his eyes were black, he shouted loudly: "Return!" ”
At the same time as Bai Qi shouted the word return, his figure suddenly froze, and gradually faded, and finally disappeared on the hillside......
