Chapter 33 is unexpected and reasonable

(Mission completed today, continued on Monday)

Countless bugs with glowing butts hovered two or three meters above me and the fat man, seemingly looking for an opportunity to attack us again.

I kicked through the mud to keep myself from sinking, and at the same time took off my close-fitting T-shirt over my head and poked my head out of the mud to breathe. I didn't know how deep the quagmire was underfoot, so I stretched out my feet and looked down to find a place to stand, but after a few probes, I didn't come across anything that could carry my weight.

"No, if we continue to consume like this, we will have to sink sooner or later. Gotta find a way out. The fat man said with his head bared.

"Nonsense, hurry up." I scolded.

The fat man cautiously lifted one corner of his clothes and looked out, and saw that the swarm was still hovering over our heads, so he retracted his head again. He asked me, "Why don't we just rush out?" ”

"Rush? Where to rush? ”

"Rush where you come from."

I laughed dryly and asked the fat man, "Do you think it's you who run fast or people who fly fast?" ”

The fat man was stunned, "What should I do then?" As soon as the fat man finished speaking, I heard him groan. I asked him what was wrong, and he didn't answer me, except for a few mud tumbling sounds from his side. A few seconds later, I heard the fat man spit up a few more times and said to me, "Damn, there's locusts." ”

I had foreseen the existence of locusts in the quagmire, but I had always had hope in my heart that the locusts in the quagmire would have starved to death after a long time. But when the fat man said that there were locusts, I couldn't help frowning. Although locusts are not fatal when they suck blood, they carry a large number of infectious diseases. Who knows which dynasty the locusts in this are from, and if they don't know if they will infect us with a virus that has long been extinct. It's not a good deal.

I was still pondering when the fat man suddenly screamed again, and then I felt the mud around me start to flow. The fat man swam towards me.

"Do you have any way to prevent locusts, hurry up. If it's too late, the fat man will be sucked dry. ”

I lifted one corner of my clothes to look at the fat man, and found that his lips had turned a little white at some point. I was shocked, looking at the fat man's appearance, it was obvious that there was a sign of blood loss. Can cause the fat man to lose blood, how many locusts must be in this quagmire?

Thinking that my scalp was numb, I suddenly felt all kinds of subtle tremors under the mud. This feeling was infinitely magnified, and I could even feel countless locusts wriggling around me, and the slippery body kept touching my skin with a chill and coolness.

"Fight." I say.

"Huh?" The fat man didn't react and asked me what I meant.

"If you soak here, sooner or later, you will have to be sucked dry by the locusts, so it's better to let it go and fight hard. If you're lucky, you can escape. ”

The fat man gritted his teeth as he looked at the swarm of insects still flying above his head and said, "Damn, if Lao Tzu can get out alive, he will definitely bring the insecticide back next time." ”

I smiled bitterly, "Let's think about how to fight first." ”

"That's not easy, swim to the stone platform at the entrance and go up. Then I run. The fat man said.

"No, the goal of the two people is too big, let's run separately." I said.

The fat man was stunned, "Separate? The entrance is over there, how do you run separately? ”

I suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart, a subtle sensation that made me feel that even if I tried to lure the worm away, I wouldn't die in it.

The fat man seemed to see through my thoughts, patted me and said, "Don't be naïve, so many bugs kill me or you're just a matter of minutes." How long can you drag it out? ”

I was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said it was true. With the amount of money on the head that can light up the entire cave, even two elephants are estimated to be useless.

The fat man waved his hand and said, "If you want me to see that we can run together, so that we can still have a response." ”

I thought about it and nodded. At this time, a sentence suddenly occurred in my mind: I can't outrun the lion, but I just need to outrun the others.

I smiled inexplicably at this sentence, and said in my heart that it would not be a piece of cake to outperform the fat man with his fat body. But at the end of the day, if something happens to the fat man, I'm sure I'll go back and save him.

The fat man didn't notice the change in my expression, but just looked at the swarm above me and said, "If you just swim over like this, you will definitely be discovered." Let's dive down and swim over. ”

Diving beneath the quagmire? I was stunned for a moment, and immediately objected: "You don't want to live anymore?" Do you know how many locusts there are in this quagmire? If the locusts go through your nose or ears, even if you escape, you will die. ”

"What then?"

"Swim slowly with your head over your clothes." With that, I covered my clothes, wrapped my head, and prepared to swim over. But before I could make a move, there was a sudden and noticeable tremor from beneath the quagmire. Like a slight earthquake, I could even see the water on the surface of the mud puddle shaking slightly.

I looked back at the fat man and found that the fat man was also looking at me with a puzzled expression. I was just about to say that I should swim away without worrying about so much, but I didn't expect a more obvious tremor to come up again. With the trembling, the grasshoppers below began to stir. I could feel the locusts writhing around me through my pants.

I thought that the army of grasshoppers was about to start a general attack on us, and I was so frightened that I opened my hands and feet and swam to the stone platform. But before I could swim half a meter away, I was dragged by the fat man.

"Why don't you run, what do you want?" I turned around and scolded, turned around and tried to swim again, but the fat man still didn't let go.

"Something is wrong." The fat man said, "It's not a locust, no amount of locusts can cause such a shock." ”

I said to myself, you are stupid, how many years have the locusts been here, do you know? It's rare that two fresh foods are delivered to the door, and the elders are not called out to open the meat if they don't want to be juniors?

But I'm not in the mood to talk so much to the fat man, and I want to swim out after scolding ****. But by this time it was too late. Countless black and yellow locusts floated up from under the mud and began to swim towards us. The smallest locust I saw was as thick as my index finger.

After I finished speaking, if a locust with such thick fingers is considered a junior, then its elder must not be as thick as my thighs.

Seeing the grasshoppers floating on the mud in front of us swimming towards us with great noise, the faces of me and the fat man turned green in an instant. Regardless of the swarm of insects overhead, he threw off his clothes and swam lifelessly.

Although this quagmire does not want to trap people like quicksand, the mud inside has brought us great resistance. And the army of grasshoppers behind him was swimming easily like a fish in water. It didn't take long to get close to us.

"Fuck, fight!" The fat man stopped with a scream, and turned to look at the approaching locust.

"How the are you fighting? If you can run, run quickly. I shouted.

"I can't run." The fat man said, and after speaking, he scolded and said, "Fucking want to eat the fat man, see who eats whom!" ”

I was stunned when I heard the fat man's words, and stopped to look back at him. The fat man noticed that I had stopped, looked at me and said, "Why don't you leave, Lao Tzu is blocking for you, you hurry up." I remember to burn two packs of good cigarettes for the fat man in Qingming in the future. ”

I yelled at fuck you, I want to smoke a good cigarette and go out and buy it myself, don't want Lao Tzu to run errands for you. After that, I swam back to the fat man and waited with the fat man for the arrival of the army of grasshoppers.

The fat man turned his face sideways and looked at me with a frown, "I said, how can you, a little comrade, disobey the party's arrangement." ”

"Lao Tzu is a member of the group." I scolded.
