Chapter 44: Convergence
After walking out of a distance, those little centipedes still did not give up, followed us from a distance, crawling, making a series of rustling sounds, which made us very puzzled, but not long after, the rustling sound suddenly became urgent, at the same time, the vegetation on our left began to shake violently, as if some big guy was approaching.
It was too dark to see clearly, so I flashed the flashlight of the flashlight, and I suddenly noticed that behind the broad-leaved plant, there seemed to be something hidden, dark red, very large.
The next moment, this thing directly revealed its true colors, and the whole person came out of the vegetation!
The lights of the crowd all flickered together, and suddenly we saw a huge human face, staring at us fiercely.
"Fuck me!" Junko screamed and took a step back, and I was so frightened that I stumbled, and the group hurriedly retreated as if they had seen a ghost. In this primeval jungle, such a big human face suddenly appeared, it is strange not to scare people to death.
But soon, we found out that this thing was actually a centipede more than a person tall, and after erecting most of its body, from our angle, we could just see its head and abdomen, with many dark yellow patterns on it, vaguely like human facial features, but a little distorted, so at first glance in the dark, it only felt very hideous and terrifying.
Junko shouted, "How can this centipede grow so big!" As he spoke, he immediately loaded his gun and seemed to be intending to shoot. And at this moment, Tan Jian shouted violently: "Don't shoot!" Run! ”
Shunzi Bacheng wanted to ask why, because although this centipede is big and looks terrifying, we have guns, and if we have guns, we can walk sideways in the jungle. But after Tan Jian finished roaring, he dragged me and Zhou Xuanye and ran away, not caring about the others at all.
In a hurry, I looked back, and for a moment I only felt that my scalp was numb, it turned out that there was more than one such large centipede, and the roots of those broad-leaved plants were all coiled with this large centipede. The most important thing is that the appearance of these big centipedes seems to encourage the little ones, who are no longer afraid of the sulphur water, and crawl towards us like a tide!
In such a situation, no matter how many guns can be used, running is the only way.
Junzi and the others reported that they also ran away, but the big centipede moved too fast, and was used to surviving in the jungle, as if it was a gust of wind. On the other hand, we are not suitable for running in this broad-leaved vegetation at all, the speed is naturally slow, and if we are not careful, we will be tripped by the thick rhizomes of some broad-leaved plants.
Tan Jian was really a thief, dragging me and Zhou Xuanye to run in advance, and Shunzi and the others fell behind, and were chased by the big centipedes, so they had to shoot while running. At first, Tan Jian dragged us, but in the vegetation group, it was inconvenient to move, so he let go after a few seconds.
When I reacted, I realized that Tan Jian had disappeared from a ghost.
, this girl belongs to a rabbit!
In the dark environment, the only thing I could see was the square inch illuminated by the flashlight, and when I looked back, I often saw the light from other people and the wide broad leaves, and the gunfire became a little dispersed, and it seemed that everyone was running apart.
Zhou Xuanye didn't know where he went, I was anxious, and looked down at my watch. This is an outdoor watch, and the dial itself is equipped with a small compass, and although it is temporarily scattered, I still ran headlong towards the north.
Unexpectedly, after running for two steps, something suddenly appeared on the broad leaf not far ahead.
It was a colorful thing, apparently disturbed by me, with its neck pricked up, spitting out letters, and black bean eyes looking at me dangerously. It's a snake that's venomous at first sight.
I resisted the urge to scold my mother, turned to the side, and quickly bypassed it, we can't afford to hide.
The gunshots behind me became more and more sporadic, and from time to time, I could always hear the sound of rustling behind me, and it seemed that something was chasing me, but even if I looked back, I couldn't see more, so I had no choice but to run forward.
I don't know how long it took me to hear the gunshots, and the sound of rustling disappeared, and the sky was slightly bright, and I stopped when I couldn't see my fingers in the jungle.
I leaned against a thick ancient tree and gasped, and by the way, I looked at the time, and this breath actually ran non-stop for more than half an hour! However, I guess it shouldn't be very far from the previous centipede nest, because of the environment, so it runs relatively slowly.
At this moment, I am the only one in this place, and I took off the blessing of Tan Blade, and I ran first, so I did not become the target of the big centipede's pursuit, but what happened to the rest of the people, then I don't know. I was a little worried, and I felt the signal whistle blowing.
The shrill whistle sounded far away, and soon, from my northwest position, another whistle was heard, and I hurried towards that position, intending to meet the other side.
About thirty paces away, I saw Song Qiaoming, who was sitting against the rhizome of a broad-leaved plant, sweating profusely and looking very painful. The whistle just now should have been blown by him, and at this moment, he was sitting on the ground, embarrassed, the arm of one hand was still bleeding, and the other hand was rummaging in the equipment bag, probably looking for medicine to treat the wound.
As soon as he saw me, Song Qiaoming was so moved that he said, "Xiao Su, my family, no wonder I like you as soon as I see you, we really have a fate." I looked at the wound on his arm, as if it had been scratched by something like a dagger, and immediately put down the equipment bag to rummage for medicine, and said while looking for it: "Boss Song, when is it, don't be poor, how did you get this injury." ”
As I spoke, I pulled out something like gauze disinfectant and began to clean his wound. Song Qiaoming hissed in his mouth and said, "How else can I get it, I was caught by that big centipede, but you Brother Song and I are not vegetarians, and it will collapse with one shot." Hiss...... Hey, tap tap. ”
The blood stains from the wound attracted a lot of mountain locusts, one by one squirming and crawling towards the two of us, Song Qiaoming was annoyed to see it, and he smashed one by one with a gun seat, which looked quite disgusting. I took care of his wound, and Song Qiaoming said: "Didn't you run away with your boss, why are you the only one left now?" ”
I felt quite embarrassed about this, and said: "At that time, the situation was urgent, and the boss couldn't take care of it so much, Boss Song, don't mind." ”
Song Qiaoming touched his nose and said, "The one surnamed Tan slipped away too fast, I can see him through." But you boss Zhou is still righteous, and you turned back halfway to save me. "No wonder, I just said that Zhou Xuanye was obviously following me, why did he disappear later, it turned out that he turned back to save people.
Tan Jian's previous actions must have made Song Qiaoming feel uncomfortable, but as a party concerned, to be honest, Tan Jian dragged me and Zhou Xuanye first at the critical moment. People are like this, when they are in danger, they will first help those who are close to them. So in this matter, I have no position to accuse Tan Jian of anything, but I should be grateful, but I just put it on Song Qiaoming's position, and he probably asked Tan Jian's ancestors all over again.
After Song Qiaoming finished speaking, I felt that it was wrong, and said, "Brother Zhou went back to save you, what about others?" ”
Song Qiaoming suddenly touched his nose and said, "There were too many big centipedes chasing me at that time, and after Boss Zhou, I ......ran away first."
"............ "I almost didn't vomit blood, he and Tan Jian are the same goods."
Seeing that my face was dark, Song Qiaoming snorted and motioned to me: "Boss Zhou is very good, he must be fine, why don't you blow the whistle anymore, when you hear the whistle, they should come over?" "Now everyone is scattered in the jungle, although they are all heading north, but the area is too large, the chance of meeting is very small, and the signal must be transmitted.
At that moment, I inhaled and puffed up my cheeks and began to whistle, this time it didn't go so well, I blew more than twenty times, and my cheeks softened, and finally a response came, and after a while, the vegetation not far away trembled, as if someone had come to converge.
I immediately exclaimed, "Here it is! ”
Immediately after, two people rushed out from behind the vegetation, this person didn't know anyone else, it was Tan Blade, and he also helped a person, although everyone was wearing gas masks, but the body shape and equipment were very recognizable, I could see that the person was fat.
The fat man is not fat at all, and his body is tall, but at this moment, he seems to be out of breath, with a Tan blade on his back, and there are traces of bandaging several times on his body.
I didn't expect it to be Tan Jian, so I was shocked: "Boss, why are you!" ”
Tan Jian glanced at me and said lukewarmly, "Otherwise, who do you want?" ”
While speaking, Song Qiaoming also stood up, followed the fat man, gasped, and said, "Why are you so seriously injured?" ”
Tan Jian didn't say a word, sat down on the ground, took off his gas mask, took out the water from his equipment bag and began to drink, and then told me what had happened.
It turned out that after Tan Jian and I separated, he also went to save people, at this point, Song Qiaoming and I both misunderstood him, he actually wanted me and Zhou Xuanye to run first, because he recognized the origin of the centipede.
It is a rare red-bellied yellow-spotted centipede, which lives in groups and has a strong reproductive ability, but this centipede has a habit of devouring each other.
Most centipedes will only devour their own kind when they lack food, and this kind of centipede, the longer they live, the more they like to devour their kind, the more they eat, the bigger and more fierce they are, it's okay to meet one or two, if they meet a group, it is definitely a very scary thing, Tan Jian recognized them, and decided to run for the first time.
He dragged me and Zhou Xuanye to run away, and saw that I was safe halfway, so he turned back to save people.
When I heard this, I immediately felt guilty and said, "Boss, I blame you." ”
Tan Jian said: "It's too late to apologize now, and my heart is already broken." ”
I was surprised: "Boss, you can joke too?" "I feel like my understanding of Tan Jian has been refreshed again.
