It is normal for people to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and ants still spare their lives, let alone live people, but this does not mean that heroism is unreasonable, with the ordinary performance of ordinary people who are "greedy for life and afraid of death" as a comparison, people who have the courage to dedicate themselves are more noble.

From this point of view, the fifteen people in the "advance team" are just some ordinary people, they are not willing to risk their lives to make paving bricks for others, this is not too much to blame, but this matter is obviously decided by everyone by lot, since they agreed in advance, they chose to retreat when they spread it on themselves, this is a bit too much to say.

In any case, the "advance team" was still cheeky and did not advance further into the dense forest, and the fifteen men sat under a few trees, preparing to return the same way after a while, and said in a unified voice that they had already investigated everything that should be investigated, and found no obvious danger in this forest.

This is very level, what is called "no obvious danger was found in this wood", which means that if something happens later, such as encountering a poisonous snake or something, the people of the "advance team" can say that it is "not obvious danger", and it is reasonable that they did not encounter it.

After all, the woods are so big, it is impossible for the "advance team" to figure out the situation on every inch of land, and it is normal for them to miss something, and they can't blame it.

"Clever!"

Under a tree, the captain of the "advance team" was giving a thumbs up to a man next to him, the same man who had first suggested that he should be stationed in place, and that he had also come up with the phrase "obviously not obvious danger", who was indeed a grease man.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

I can't see that this person is quite modest, in the face of the captain's "verbal praise", he shows a kind of light and light master demeanor, not happy with things, not sad with himself, and doesn't seem to care about these floating clouds-like fame at all.

With such a person next to him making an idea, the captain suddenly felt a lot more at ease, at least his own people's lives don't have to be lost in this damn wood, just wanted to have a more in-depth exchange of opinions with that person, but saw that the other party turned around to leave, the captain asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Pee."

The man replied.

……

People have three urgencies, this obscene-looking, nimble big brother is no exception, he doesn't feel thirsty when he speaks, but he is a little urgent, fortunately this is a forest, and there is no need to find any public toilets, it is convenient to turn around.

But having said that, there were still more than a dozen people next to him, and even the thick-skinned people couldn't pee in front of others, so he found a bush that no one could notice, and was about to open his trouser chain to release the water, when he suddenly found a bright red color in another oily green bush not far away.

"What's that?"

The eldest brother was also curious, and he walked in front of the bush with the belt of his trousers in one hand and the branches along the way with the other, and looked up and down, but could not see what was in front of him.

A cylindrical object of red and bright color, from the top to the bottom of the red gradient to green, looks like a part of some kind of plant, the fleshy cylinder has a thin layer of fruit wax on top, the height can be two and a half meters, because he is from the bottom up, so the actual height may be slightly higher than this.

The big brother had never seen anything like this before, he didn't even pee, he circled around this strange-looking fleshy cylinder, and finally saw that this was really a plant, a very strange plant.

He could not see the top of the cylinder, but could only see that the bottom of the cylinder was connected to the nearby branches and leaves, and the huge leaves that he had stepped on under his feet were the same part of the plant as this cylinder.

"What the hell is this?"

He wanted to try to climb up the vine next to him to see the whole view of the plant, but as the saying goes, "if you don't die, you won't die", the big brother just raised his foot and was about to take a step, when the big cylinder that had been still in front of him suddenly trembled, and before the person could react, the cylinder covered it from the top and swallowed him in an instant.

It turned out that the top of the cylinder was open, and now he could see it.

After swallowing such a big living person, the cylinder returned to its original appearance in a blink of an eye, and through the projection at the bottom of the cylinder, it was vaguely visible that there was a figure inside who was desperately struggling, but it was impossible to break free from it, and soon stopped moving.

The woods were silent, as if nothing had happened.

……

The captain of the "advance team" was still chatting and farting with other people, in order to get through this torturous time as soon as possible, everyone chatted and chatted and expected the one who had just gone to the toilet, the captain looked around, and saw that the person who gave him advice hadn't come back yet, and said in his heart that it was just a pee, why did it take so long.

"Go see what he's doing over there."

He pointed to a person casually, and the captain asked him to go over and get the person back, and the big guy talked for a while before it was almost time to go back.

"Captain, there's no one here!"

The one who used to check came back quickly, but he didn't find the big brother who had peed in the past, and he could hear from this man's voice that he had sensed that something was wrong.

"No one?" There was also a panic in the captain's voice, "How can there be no one, didn't everyone see him go this way just now, did you look for it carefully?" ”

There was a strange feeling everywhere in this forest, and everyone in the "advance team" had been worried, although everyone was still able to maintain peace on the surface, in fact, everyone's hearts were up and down, and at this time, when they heard that someone was missing, panic instantly spread rapidly among everyone.

"Don't panic!"

The captain knows that the more this situation is, the more he has to bring everyone together and stabilize the situation, otherwise it will be difficult to survive with his own strength.

"Prepare your weapons," said the captain, to the group, "or three people in a group, four groups in all directions, and everyone follow me back the way I came!" ”

The captain's arrangement is still very reasonable, if everyone doesn't care about the three, seven and twenty-one, all of them rush to and from the road when they run around, maybe none of them can escape, because no one knows what kind of danger is hidden in the shadows, there is still the possibility of escaping if you are united, and there is only a dead end without organization and discipline.

……

"Rustle."

The woods, which had been quiet, were suddenly less quiet, and something seemed to be moving.
