305.Chapter 305: Jungle Escape
Ye Dai did not hide in the water as Wang Tiren advised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe river water in October is already very cold, and soaking in the water for a long time will cause hypothermia, and when the time comes, she and Li Jing will not survive without the enemy coming to find her.
So she just beckoned Li Jing to squat by the river, hide in the grass and look at the shore.
The place Wang Tiren chose for them was easy to hide, but the perspective was not good. Ye Dai didn't have much experience in this work, so she didn't dare to stay in a place on the river bank that was easy to observe, and now she can only rely on hearing to judge the situation on the shore.
As the gunfire faded away, no one was seen by the river. This made Ye Dai breathe a sigh of relief and a little sad at the same time. She didn't know what would happen to Wang Tiren, Li Xiang, and the Duke, but since even a veteran like Wang Tiren felt uncertain, she thought it would be more than lucky.
The icy river water, though dangerous, helps to keep Ye Dai awake. So she didn't waste much time, and took Li Jing back to the shore.
When he and Ding Chen were in the wilderness, Ye Dai learned how to deal with the water ingress of the rifle, and the example used at that time was the current semi-automatic rifle. So it only took Ye Dai a few minutes to complete the simple maintenance, then discern the direction and continue to run forward with Li Jing.
This is also what Wang Tiren told her when they broke up. Once the enemy finds out that Ye Dai is gone, he will definitely come back to find her, and before finding a specific trace, the order to follow should be to return the same way or cross the river, and he definitely didn't expect that she would continue to run in the direction she escaped just now.
According to Wang Tiren's guess, the bottom of the encirclement arranged by Lao K cannot be too thick, otherwise he would not have to drive them all the way over, and they would not be able to run away from both sides.
Therefore, when Wang Tiren broke through halfway, the enemy who was originally arranged in front should also move closer to Wang Tiren, that is, Ye Dai and Li Jing's opportunity to get out of the encirclement.
Although most of Wang Tiren's judgments along the way were inaccurate, Ye Dai still tended to believe him, so she still chose to continue south.
It seems that Wang Tiren's character turned out to be good when it was applied to Ye Dai, so until the evening, the two of them did not encounter the impact of the enemy. Not even the sound of gunfire could be heard.
Li Jing is not a combatant after all, and he has just reached adulthood, and his physical strength is not even comparable to Ye Dai. He rarely participates in outdoor activities, and he lacks skills in action, so the physical strength consumed is also greater than Ye Dai, and he can't run at this time.
Ye Dai is not much better than him, not only is the physical exertion serious, but after coming out of the river, their clothes have not been dry, wet wrapped around their bodies, blown by the wind is like wearing a layer of iron skin, not only does not keep warm, but also absorbs heat. But it was clear that they didn't have time to dispose of wet clothes right now.
Seeing that the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark, it was obviously dangerous to move in the dark in the woods, so Ye Dai decided to stop, on the one hand to recover her strength, and on the other hand, to find a way to cross the river at night.
Ye Dai's water nature is average, but the children in the apartment have nothing to play with when they are young, although they don't run to swim in the river with water, but they often soak in the water when they go fishing in the big lake to the west with the adults, so if you use buoyancy reserves, you can still swim across the river.
She didn't learn the ability to pick food from Ding Chen like Rogge did. Because during the days when she and Ding Chen were in the wild, they were first injured, and then they brought the items they got from the cave warehouse, Ding Chen didn't have a chance to show off this ability, and Ye Dai naturally had no way to learn it.
So she just grabbed a few pine towers, separated them with Li Jing, and barely chewed them and swallowed her stomach. When Ding Chen took her at the beginning, this thing only ate the pine nuts inside. By this time, they had not eaten for more than twelve hours.
When Ye Dai was looking for wood in the bushes that could be used to float across the river, Li Jing found a bunch of mushrooms. But the light in the woods was too dark, Ye Dai couldn't see the details of these mushrooms clearly, and she was worried about poisoning, so she didn't dare to eat them.
As luck would have it, in the middle of the night, they finally found a dry trunk. After Ye Dai simply trimmed the dead branches and leaves on it with a saber, she and Li Jing stumbled and dragged the trunk to the river and threw it into the water.
Because of the lack of physical strength, the trunk of the tree made a loud noise when it fell into the water, which startled the two people. By the moonlight, Ye Dai saw the trunk of the tree slowly sinking in the river, and then floated up again, and began to float downstream along the river, and hurriedly jumped into the water to chase, but at this time, there was a motor sound in the direction of the downstream, and a light shone along the river.
Although the light was still far away, Ye Dai, who had become a frightened bird, still subconsciously turned around and fled back to the shore. Li Jing stretched out his hand to drag her up, and then the two exhausted men lay on the ground and watched a speedboat sail past the river in front of them.
After the lights of the speedboat disappeared, Ye Dai suddenly remembered the tree trunk in the river, and when she jumped up to look for it, she could no longer see the wood that was loaded and floating.
This result made the two people who had been busy for most of the night very disappointed, and Li Jing cried in a low voice. Ye Dai sat on the ground with his shoulders on his shoulders, feeling weak, cold and hungry, and began to miss the scene when he was with Ding Chen last time. That time she was actually even worse than her current situation, not only did she fall into the water, but she was also injured and had a high fever, but Ding Chen took good care of her, and she had never been so depressed.
Ye Dai is not the master of complaining, so after sitting for a while and recovering a little energy, she knew that she couldn't continue to stay here, at least she couldn't let her body get cold.
But Li Jing, who experienced this situation for the first time, couldn't hold it anymore, and he wanted to go back to find Li Xiang. Ye Dai is similar to Ding Chen, she is the kind of master who is quick to act and accept words, it's okay to talk about it when he's fine, but he basically has no talent when he needs to do ideological work, so he can only comfort him clumsily.
At this time, there was a burst of gunfire in the night wind, both of them were startled, Ye Dai stood up and listened, the gunfire came from behind him, it was estimated that the people on the speedboat were shooting at people with machine guns.
The gunfire rang out intermittently for a while, and then stopped, and I didn't know what the outcome of the shooting would be. But after knowing that there were still people chasing him, Li Jing didn't dare to mention the idea of turning back anymore, and the two of them began to stumble forward again. Ye Dai didn't know if she could find a place to cross the river after dawn, if not, she had to find another way.
Fortunately, this is already the range of activities of the residents of District 53, although there are still no human figures, but there are no large beasts in the forest, and after the weather turns cold, the cold-blooded reptiles are also honest, which makes Ye Dai and Li Jing, who are extremely tired, have not encountered danger.
The sky was gradually brightening, and a big bird was alarmed by Ye Dai and the others, flapped its wings and flew up from the grass, and flew away along the river. Then the sharp-eyed Ye Dai found that there seemed to be something in the place where the big bird flew away, and when she got closer, she saw that it was a nest of bird eggs.
This time, no one needs to teach, the two of them break the bird egg and drink the egg white and yolk directly inside. Eating raw eggs tastes weird and mushy, but at least it's serious food.
The eggs were not as big as a ping-pong ball, so seven or eight eggs were swept away by two people in the blink of an eye. Ye Dai took a breath, and suddenly heard the sound of someone talking from the woods behind her, mixed with the sound of a dog barking.
Ye Dai's face changed, she looked around, and pulled Li Jing towards the river. The two of them had been running in the woods for a day and a night, and their strength was too much to outrun the pursuers with the dogs, and now the only way was to hide in the river again, and let the river cover their scent.
When the two men ran up the riverbank, the pursuers spotted them, and then a group of people ran out of the woods, and at the front were two small dogs, one black and one yellow.
