XXXVII. Lake Turkana Horror
For thousands of years, people have been pursuing the feeling of flying, which seems to be a feeling of freedom from ** to the soul. Lin Yi's small team now feels an unprecedented sense of freedom, and there is no need to worry about being chased around by zombies here.
The plane flew smoothly in this country that had been disrupted by zombies, and they didn't have time to care about this lone flyer in the air. Quite a few were already resting, and Whitson II even played cards with a few of his comrades. Although the space is small, everyone gets a short time of comfort at this time.
As the leader of this team, Lin Yi had to think about more issues.
He has always been curious about Douglas, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, it was he who saved the whole team. Wu Hao is the one who knows all this best, but this kid is silent now, it seems that he is waiting for himself to take the initiative to ask. Lin Yi sighed, moved a few steps, and walked to Wu Hao's side.
"What's going on with this Douglas?" Lin Yi drank coffee to warm up his body, and the warmth measures on the plane didn't seem to be very good.
"As I said a long time ago, our eight departments are such institutions, recruiting people with special abilities from all over the country and even the world. And this Douglas is a person with special abilities, but he himself has not yet discovered that he has this ability! ”
"Special abilities?"
"That's right! Some people can have clairvoyant eyes, some have a whole body as hard as iron, and some people can even emit a kind of death ray. There is also the spiritual one, and their spirit can be turned into a powerful attack force to deal with others. Wu Hao was very excited when he talked about this, maybe for him, Douglas was the one who was really with him.
"It seems that the arrival of Douglas has really added a big chip to us, but I don't know if we will meet more similar people in the future." Lin Yi was fascinated, if he could meet more people with extraordinary abilities in the future, then in this troubled world, he would have more chances to save his life.
"Actually, there seems to be an organization for the Strangers, but I haven't gotten them to join yet, so the details aren't clear." Wu Hao seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still said it, because even if he said it, it would be impossible for Lin Yi to find these people.
Although Lin Yi was full of expectations, he also knew that there were some things that could not be forced, so he smiled indifferently. After that, she looked at Jones not far away with a meaningful face, and of course, the most important thing was to see the hesitant look of Douglas next to her.
Douglas's situation has been figured out, he and Jones are from the same school, to be precise, he is Jones's junior. When the new students were enrolled, it was Jones who came to greet the younger students of Douglas. It is said that Glass fell in love with the lively and beautiful Jones at first sight, but he had no choice but to be affectionate and unintentional. Douglas chased Jones for three years, but still did not capture the heart of the beautiful woman, and now he can see the person he loves the most in this time of crisis, and he has forgotten about any other troubles.
These situations were all summarized by Wu Hao little by little during the chat with Douglas, although Douglas has strong mental power, he will not take advantage of it. Wu Hao, as a person who has used mind reading for many years, can hardly figure out the basic situation of Douglas.
"Wow, what a beautiful lake, I didn't expect Africa to have such beautiful water." Ika couldn't help but marvel at the beautiful lake that dotted the sky like emeralds outside the glass window.
"If I'm right, this is Lake Turkana, and I spent my vacation here a few years ago." Garl looked at the lake below the plane with a wistful look on his face, and fell into a brief memory.
"If you fly any further on Lake Turkana, you can enter Ethiopia, where there is an animal sanctuary that I have always wanted to see." The young medic Ike seemed to know this place very well, and there was a wistful look on his face.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to know more than me!" Whitson II, who had already lost a few games in a row, patted Ike on the head and smiled.
Ike was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "I told you earlier, battalion commander, I like to photograph animals, and I will learn about the geography of various places by the way." ”
Everyone here has their own dreams, and for various reasons, they are now able to come together. And the purpose of being together is very simple, to live, or to live longer.
"Captain Lin!" Pache didn't seem to be used to Lin Yi's title, and he screamed a little awkwardly.
"What's wrong, Captain Patch?" It's a bit confusing, but Patch is Li Qiwen's captain, and no matter who he respects, he's embarrassed to call someone else's name directly.
"The plane will run out of fuel soon, and I'm going to make a forced landing on the water."
Patch said calmly, the plane ran out of fuel! But when the others heard it in their ears, they suddenly felt that there was only a cold sweat on their backs, what does this mean, it means great danger!
"Captain Patch, you're not joking!" Lin Yi was in a good mood, but suddenly it was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. This was not eaten alive by the zombies, but was about to crash and die.
"Don't be afraid, there's a big lake down there, and I'm sure I'll land." As soon as Patch finished speaking, he began to lower the nose of the plane, and the plane flew quickly towards the lake.
"Guys, hold on to your seat belts, it might be a bit bumpy!" Li Qiwen, as Patchi's partner, is naturally responsible for reminding everyone to do a good job of security defense.
The people who were already frightened quickly returned to their seats with Li Qiwen's reminder and tightly held the armrests on both sides. However, the plane did not jolt as much as everyone imagined, but at the moment when it finally fell into the water, everyone felt a muffled sound and almost shook off their seats.
Later, amid the shouts of a group of people, the plane slowly stopped from taxiing, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, when everyone stabilized their emotions, they found that many people's clothes were soaked with the water that seeped in. The temperature in January was not very high, and after a moment of shock, everyone began to feel shivering.
At this time, the plane was still thousands of kilometers away from the shore, and the shore was a no-man's land, so there was no one to help them reach the shore smoothly.
"Douglas, you concentrate your strength on pushing the plane to shore." Wu Hao looked at Douglas with a blank face, and hurriedly went over to pat it.
People who can study at a university in the capital are naturally not stupid, and although they have not yet adapted to their superpowers, they have learned how to use them quickly.
Douglas closed his eyes, and Wu Hao kept inspiring him on the side.
"Tom~"
The plane moved, and then, in everyone's expectation, the plane slowly moved towards the shore. The others didn't dare to disturb him, just stared at the shore that was getting closer and closer.
The distance of a thousand meters is not close, but it is not far. Under the operation of Douglas's mental power, everyone did not pay attention to how long the time had passed, only that the plane was moved to the shore alive.
After going ashore, Lin Yi immediately divided labor. If you have good marksmanship, you can go hunting, and if you know how to fish, you will go down to the river to fish, and if you really don't have much ability, you will go to collect firewood, of course, Lin Yi can only be assigned to the glorious task of collecting firewood in the end.
There are several volcanoes around the lake, but according to Ike, these are extinct volcanoes. Because of the thick layer of fertile land formed by volcanic weathering, Lin Yi and the others naturally found it easy to pick up dead wood. When Li Qiwen was not fighting, she basically followed Lin Yi wherever she went, and volunteered to become the kind of person who was incapable.
Lin Yi and Li Qiwen, the little couple, naturally no one will bother them, and with such a large area, there is no need to be a big light bulb.
Lake Turkana is rich in fish, so a few people in charge of fishing quickly returned with enough food for each person. The hunters were lucky enough to hunt an antelope, which was considered poaching, but no one cared about them in the current precarious situation.
Collecting firewood is the most unskilled thing, but because of this, there is a lot of firewood. If everyone is going to rest here at night, there will be enough firewood.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. But Lin Yi couldn't think of anyone who could cook for a while, comparing this open-air barbecue is a technical job. In the end, Jiaojiao and Xiaohai Mao recommended themselves, and then Ika also said that she could bake food. So the others took out the entrails of the fish and the antelope with their sabers and washed them, and then waited to eat them.
Lake Turkana is originally a saltwater lake, so salt is not a concern, and many people have spices in their backpacks. The six grills take turns, and it doesn't take long for the fragrant tilapia to come out of the pan.
Lin Yi ate the first one without hesitation, he hadn't eaten hot food for a long time, and he was really hungry. The others just smiled and took what they wanted, while Ika and the others continued to barbecue.
It's always a good time to eat, and it's already the afternoon when everything is done. Everyone who had not rested well didn't want to go there anymore at this time, so they all sat in a circle and rested on their backpacks and roasted on the fire.
Everyone's nerves slowly began to relax, and suddenly, the plane parked not far away suddenly sounded "dong dong".
The louder and louder crash soon woke everyone up, and although they were reluctant, everyone remained on alert for the first time.
"What's going on?" Lin Yi hurriedly followed the source of the impact sound to look, and the plane, which was originally not small, seemed to be about to be lifted off at this time, and kept shaking violently.
No one can explain what happened, and if there were zombies here, they would have come over to eat people. Now they only hear their voices, but they don't see their objects, and everyone can't figure out what they want. The fear of the unknown is the most frightening thing, you don't know what's bothering you, but you know it's there.
"Douglas, can you remove the plane?" Lin Yi didn't want to take risks at this time, since there was a person with super mental power around him, why not behave well.
"Commander, I'm afraid I can't do it now, I can't concentrate at all, I should have almost consumed it when I moved the plane just now." Douglas spoke weakly, and it seemed that he was indeed very tired.
"Brothers, come with me to have a look." Lin Yi had no choice but to muster up the courage to check it out.
Li Qiwen is naturally the first, but the female compatriots are here, and the others must be following with all their brains, and everyone still understands the truth that there is a lot of strength in numbers.
When the group was still a few meters away from the water's edge, Lin Yi told everyone to stop, and then fired a few shots at the water. The plane, which had been moving a lot, suddenly stopped moving.
Lin Yi was complacent at this time, preparing to retreat. Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" on the surface of the water, and a monster seven or eight meters long suddenly jumped out.
"Shoot!" Lin Yi's reaction was also fast now, and he raised his gun and began to shoot, but he was desperate to find that the monster was basically ignored, and the closer it got closer, it was about to go ashore.
"What a monster, bigger than a giant zombie!"
Everyone was reflected by the light of the water on the surface of the lake, and they couldn't see what was coming.
"Run! It's a school of Turkana Lake crocodiles, and they all act collectively! As if he suddenly remembered something, Ike yelled and turned around and ran.
Perhaps to confirm Ike's words, a few more crocodiles soon crawled out of the lake. At this time, if you don't run, you can only serve as dinner for this group of crocodiles.
Lin Yi finally glanced back, and almost fell down in fright, one after another crocodiles quickly came ashore from the lake, as if they were unwilling to kill their group.
If you blindly run away, you will definitely be chased and eaten by crocodiles. Although the bullets are not powerful enough to kill crocodiles, ants can kill elephants as long as there are many of them. Jimmy, with a machine gun in his arms, was the most brilliant at this time, desperately shooting these overlords in the water.
When it was raining, and everyone was running away without a clue, they suddenly heard an inexplicable shout, as if many people were crying out in unison. The sound made everyone's scalps tingle, like the hungry ghosts of hell sacrificing to the god of evil.
Do you want to break your soul here today, many people are thinking like this at the moment.
