Chapter 6: Miss Puff
Beyond this limit, the turtledove's body will be unable to bear the load, and it will lose its mobility, or its heart function will be severely damaged or even killed.
Therefore, it is very dangerous to venture into a state of rage several times like yesterday, and Ikadove himself knows this, so now he is sitting in the corner, and although he can't sleep, he is still trying to regain his strength.
The storm outside blew all night, and the only change was that it was a little brighter, and that was it, which meant that it was already the next morning.
The turtledove didn't sleep, and the little girl didn't sleep, and the object of their vigilance was each other, although the turtledove promised to help her save Miss Puff, the little girl did lack a helper.
But after all, neither of them slept, not that they didn't need to rest, but that they had lived in a place outside the law for a long time, and everyone knew that not to let down their guard in front of strangers, even for a second, this is the most basic survival experience.
……
"Let's go."
The little girl opened her eyes, and the turtledove in the corner stood up, and he suddenly thought that the little girl hadn't arranged the next plan of action, could it be that the two of them were so stunned to find the convoy, and then blatantly save people?
"There is no plan," said the little girl, "one step at a time." ”
Okay, Turtledove couldn't help but smack her tongue, it seems that this little girl's personality is similar to herself, she is not a person who likes to make long-term plans, and she can't think of any good plans anyway, so let's take a step with her.
The little girl carried the assault rifle on the ground on her back, and she wanted to take the other pistol with her, but when she looked at the turtledove standing next to her, she pouted at the turtledove and motioned for this pistol to be used by you.
For the sake of saving her own life, Ikaruga did not express his dissatisfaction with this distribution method, but he still muttered a few words in his heart, and picked up the pistol with great reluctance.
With just one magazine, there are twelve bullets to count.
In fact, the turtledove's marksmanship is not very good, or he is basically not very good at using a gun, because whether it is a gun or a bullet, you can change a lot of things here, and practicing a gun requires a lot of bullets, which is quite a luxury for the turtledove that wanders around all day.
Compared to firearms, Turtledove trusts his fists more.
"Won't work?"
The little girl saw the turtledove staring at the pistol in a daze, so she asked.
"Who said I wouldn't use it," Turtledove pretended to skillfully stick his pistol into his waist, "I'm good at it." ”
The turtledove was stupid after saying this, and the little girl simply turned away from him, the atmosphere was inexplicably embarrassing, but fortunately the wind and sand outside were strong enough, and the turtledove only hoped that the wind would quickly blow away what he had just said.
……
In a relatively empty open space, more than 30 cars formed two overlapping arcs, forming a sand retaining wall to shield a dozen tents at the downwind outlet.
They were only part of the convoy, and most of the rest of the people did not enter the ruins of the city last night, but were patrolling the edges of the ruins, preventing the target from escaping from the ruins from other directions, bypassing the eyes of the search team entering the city.
Until the storm came, the convoy had to stay in place to resist the wind and sand, and in this weather condition, the target could not escape for the time being, and now it was only necessary to wait for the storm to pass, and then the search could be restarted.
Last night, they also encountered a local slave hunting group, and the convoy revealed their identities, and the traffickers were scared back to their hometowns without causing any trouble, otherwise the convoy wouldn't mind cutting down the ground snake named Steeltooth Guy in the first place.
As the old saying goes, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, but that is also the scoring situation, for this team, the steel tooth guy is obviously not the head snake, if you really want to calculate hard, he is probably equivalent to an earthworm.
There is no such thing as "strong dragons don't suppress earthworms", right?
……
The wind and sand were so fierce that the turtledove and the little girl, who had come to rescue Miss Puff, could not speak, and they exchanged all hands with each other, and the two of them lay on the ground, less than half a meter apart, and crawled all the way, and finally came to the vicinity of the convoy camp under the leadership of the little girl.
Turtledove still thinks it's a little crazy.
According to his survival experience, it is certain to stay away from trouble, and there is no doubt about not provoking powerful forces, but Turtledove is also a man who keeps his promises, and since he promised the little girl, he must help her save Miss Puff.
So how to say it, between the survival experience and the principle of life, Turtledove finally chose the principle of life, he has also seen people with no bottom line and no principles, Turtledove doesn't like them, and he doesn't want to become a person like them.
If people don't have principles, what is the difference between them and salted fish?
Therefore, the turtledove would use his reluctance to do a stupid thing with this little girl that violated his survival experience, and in the eyes of the turtledove, saving people is a stupid thing that cannot be more stupid in any case.
……
No one wanted to go out in this weather, most of the convoy was huddled in tents, and a few unlucky ones were ordered to patrol outside, even though it was morning, but because of the yellow sand, it was necessary to defend the embankment of the humanoid monsters who were hiding in the shadows and could attack at any moment.
Nostrils, mouth, ears, who comes out to patrol who knows, those sand is pervasive, seamless, one patrol member accidentally, was the wind poured a nostril of sand, he hurriedly freed a hand, blowing his nose vigorously.
Good guy, where he blew out snot, it was simply a yellow piece of chalk.
"Da-da-da-da."
The sound of the rifle's rapid firing was instantly swept into the sky by the wind, and there was nowhere to be found, except for a headless cavity with a blasted head, and in less than a second, the corpse was blown down by the wind and rolled twice on the ground.
Not far away, the little girl was half-kneeling on the ground, the muzzle of the assault rifle in her hand still had the residual heat of the shot, and she gestured to the turtledove next to her, asking him to hurry over and touch the man's gun.
The turtledove nodded, and groped forward without saying a word.
"She's too accurate with marksmanship, isn't she?"
While bending over and moving, Ikaruga muttered secretly, she didn't even see anyone there, so she reached out to stop herself from moving on, took off the assault rifle, and aimed it in that direction to shoot three times, and when Turtledove's eyes widened and finally saw the blurred figure, the other party was already dead.
How did she see the target more than 20 meters away through the wind and sand?
The turtledove didn't know this problem, and he didn't have much time to figure it out, so he quickly came to the headless corpse, and the turtledove looked at the head on his neck that had been beaten to the bottom of his chin, and then took the miniature submachine gun in his hand.
Later, the little girl and Ikaruga check several cars in the vicinity to see if Miss Puff was locked in which car.
……
The two of them searched the edge of the camp like this, and the little girl killed five patrolling convoy members in a row with her amazing marksmanship, and the turtledove went over to pick up the gun after she had succeeded each time, and they cooperated quite well.
Finally, the little girl finds Miss Puff, whom she wants to save.
"Miss Puff" was put in the back seat of an SUV, or rather, in the back seat, because she was not alone, but with a fast-firing machine gun.
I don't know who was mad enough to paint the machine gun, pink, and disguised it as a child's toy with the meat grinder-like murder weapon, no wonder it was Miss Puff.
The turtledove was speechless.
I was afraid to toss with her for so long, and I risked being chased and killed by a powerful force in the future, but in the end, just to save a machine gun?
Turtledove thinks she's a psychopath, a complete psychopath.
"Keys."
The little girl didn't pay attention to the rich inner activity of the turtledove at this time, she took the key found from a certain corpse in the turtledove's hand, opened the car door, and watched her eagerly jump into the back seat, holding "Miss Puff" in her arms and stroking it, the turtledove had a strange feeling in her heart.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out behind him, and the turtledove subconsciously shrunk his neck into the car, and when he turned around, it turned out that it was the people in the convoy who had discovered the situation outside and were rushing over here.
The little girl threw the car keys to the turtledove in the front row, said "drive", and closed the door of the back seat, raised the assault rifle, and aimed a burst of fire at the person outside the window.
Listening to the increasingly dense gunshots, Turtledove could feel that the situation was getting more and more urgent, and twice in a row there was no fire, and Turtledove was so anxious that he slapped the steering wheel.
Bullets pierced the glass of the window, sliced through the scalp of the turtledove, and burrowed into the car on the other side, and almost every moment, a dozen bullets were fired into the car, eager to tear apart the living flesh of the two people in the car.
Don't be in a hurry, don't panic.
Turtledove tried to keep himself calm, he swallowed, and no longer bothered with the wind and sand, or the bullet that could kill him, he carefully twisted the car keys, and finally the engine sounded.
Pressing the accelerator to the end, Ikaruga slammed the steering wheel, and finally drove out of the encirclement before being surrounded, and the people of the convoy had nothing to do but shoot in vain at the back of the turtledove.
……
The turtledove didn't know where he was going in the storm, but he relied on his feelings anyway.
The centre of the storm had already passed the ruins of the city the previous night, so the turtledove quickly drove out of the desert storm, but he did not dare to relax for a moment, after the convoy was likely to catch up, so he drove due east for several hours, until he was sure that there was no car behind.
It was already dusk, and looking at the sunset that was about to fall below the horizon, the turtledove decided to catch his breath first.
After getting out of the car, the turtle dove caught a few sand lizards that went out to forage nearby, and there happened to be a dwarf tree that had been dead for an unknown amount of time next to it, so the turtle dove broke a few branches as firewood, and prepared to roast and eat the sand lizards after bleeding and skinning.
Unexpectedly, the silent little girl along the way came over, stabbed to death all the sand lizards that had not had time to be bled with a dagger, and then quietly looked at the turtledoves.
Ikaruga who was sitting on the ground preparing the fire stopped and watched her quietly.
