Chapter 488: The Woods
Turtledove's memory was briefly missing, and now his mind was full of mush, and he only vaguely remembered a few fragments of the previous one, and he didn't know exactly what this grove was, in fact, Turtledove didn't even know how he got here.
Blown by a sandstorm? Quite possibly.
The thirsty turtle dove is ready to get up and find some water in the woods, since the trees can survive, it means that there is a water source here, as for whether it is groundwater, this turtle dove can only pray that only the roots of plants can absorb so deeply, a little water for themselves, so that they can deal with drinking some water and moisturizing their throats.
The turtledove felt that his throat was about to dry out, and the broken skin of his lips was oozing blood, if he did not replenish the turtledove with some water, the turtledove would soon have symptoms of lack of water, and once he lost his mobility, he could only wait for death in this unknown environment.
Suddenly, a flock of birds in the woods was alarmed by something, and flew into the sky with their wings flapping their wings, and the turtledove looked up at the direction in which the birds were startled, licked his lips, and said that he had better go over and see the situation first.
In fact, the turtle dove originally put the search for water in the first place, because he could feel how dehydrated his body was, but the worm, Schultz, and Natalia were all nowhere to be found, in case it was one of them over there, or simply the three of them, replenishing the water was indeed important, and finding a companion was even more important.
Of course, the turtledove did not risk dying of thirst, so he plucked a few leaves from a bush next to him, and rubbed the dust and sand off the sand with his hands, and threw all the leaves into his mouth.
Although the leaves contained little water, they were barely able to relieve the dove's urgent needs, and the turtledove had found a few handfuls of bright red berries among the bushes, but it was not the first day that the turtledove had come out to mix, and although it had never seen such berries before, the turtledove knew that it was not to be eaten.
There are so many birds and reptiles in the woods, and the color of these berries is so conspicuous, if they were edible, it is impossible for these birds and reptiles to save the berries until now.
Therefore, the turtledove thinks that these berries should be poisonous, and it is impossible to say what kind of toxicity it is, anyway, it is better to be careful at the moment, and never do the kind of thing that picks up sesame seeds and loses watermelon.
……
The turtle dove walked slowly in the direction of the bird being alarmed, while picking the leaves of the road to replenish its water, to say that the leaves of this low shrub are really unpalatable, bitter and astringent, and only contain a little water, the key is that the turtle dove feels a little numb on his tongue when he eats it.
It seems that this shrub is not only poisonous in fruit, but also in its leaves, but fortunately the turtledove has a lot of eyes and does not eat those berries that look very delicious, otherwise he would have been in trouble by now.
Not to mention these berries, but only to say that the turtledove walked cautiously forward, and in the distance he heard a burst of voices talking, and under the cover of various trees around him, the turtledove quietly groped through.
When he got closer, the turtledove found that these were all people from the vulture castle, the number was about thirteen or fourteen, there were a total of five vehicles, each of them had long and short guns, and they looked quite embarrassed.
The men had parked their vehicles outside the woods, and three of them formed a group, four of which advanced side by side into the woods, and one group of men was left to guard the vehicles in place, and now the turtledoves numbered fifteen in all.
"Hey! There's a house over here! ”
Suddenly, voices came from another direction, and the people had separated before they entered the woods, and not just the fifteen that Turtledove had seen in front of him.
Now the turtledove has to be careful.
……
Hearing that there was a room over there, two teams were immediately divided into two teams to check, while the remaining two teams continued to advance deeper into the woods.
The range of the woods is not small, the turtle dove and the people of these vulture castles are still on the outer edge, one side is the house, and the other side is the deep and dark depths of the dense forest, the turtle dove finally chose to follow the two groups over there to the house first, and it is better not to go to the depths of the dense forest.
Having made up his mind, the turtle dove continued to burrow through the bushes, and he was like a sneaky mouse, observing the outside only through the gaps between the bushes, and at the slightest wind and grass, the turtle dove would immediately retreat into the shadows under the bushes.
There really is a house.
In a slightly empty part of the woods, a wooden house in disrepair stood alone, and how dilapidated it was, so to speak, the house was basically only a rough frame, half of it collapsed, and the other half was also crumbling, and it was estimated that a gust of wind could blow it down.
"Who would build a house here?"
Turtledove's mind was full of questions, he knew that this was already a barren land, didn't everyone say that the barren land was a forbidden area for life, there were all kinds of monsters everywhere, and there were even many species that no one had ever seen before.
The swamps are everywhere, the air is full of toxins, and from time to time it rains acid as corrosive as strong acids, and at night there is a fog that dries up, shrinks, and finally turns into a piece of coke......
Ikaruga hadn't heard of a barren land before, but if he heard someone talk about a barren land, the other party must have described it in such words, and if that was the case, wasn't this a barren land?
Shaking his head, the turtledove now feels a pain in his brain as soon as he uses his brain, not that he is hypocritical or anything, the turtledove has just experienced a sandstorm, and the head should have been hit hard, and it is reasonable to have a little symptom.
"Come on! There's a well here! ”
The shouts of the vulture castle drew the turtledove's attention again, and as soon as he heard the word "well" say, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but the turtledove's mouth was so dry that he didn't even have saliva.
"No, if I don't drink water, I'm going to die of thirst."
Anxious in his heart, the turtledove twisted his body in place with a little irritability, and there was a slight "whoosh" sound in the bush where he was hiding, and suddenly the turtledove seemed to be frozen, and squatted there motionless with its neck crooked, and did not know what was happening.
"There's a problem," I heard the turtledove mutter, in a low voice, "how come there's not even a lump of bird poop on the ground around here?" ”
