The ignited worms, first their slender legs disappeared in the flames, and immediately, the torsos that were beating on the ground also stopped struggling, leaving only a few piles of dry wood filled with grease that burned with a blazing flame and emitted a burnt fragrance.

Once again, I gave Platoon Commander Zhao a thumbs up for his execution, which was really unsparing and thoughtless.

Platoon Commander Zhao did not stop after killing a few big worms, and directly passed through a few fires through the gap and ran in the direction he had identified.

I was anxious when I saw it, and scolded him again in my heart: Wait for us to die!?

After squad leader Liu pushed Hu Aiguo to me, he kept holding a steel helmet and was ready to fight to the death, and that posture was to completely hand over Hu Aiguo to me. I didn't have time to wait for him to put on a helmet to help me now, so I directly picked up Hu Aiguo and chased him in the direction of Zhao's platoon's long run. When I ran, I also shouted to squad leader Liu: "Quick, keep up with the torch." ”

Platoon Commander Zhao ran away in a blink of an eye, and I was so angry that I was about to vomit blood, so I could only chase after me with all my life. With a person on my back, I didn't have enough breath to breathe, and I didn't have the strength to call him, and I was even more worried that I would be thrown off by him as soon as I was deflated. Fortunately, the fire seemed to have burned all the big worms away, and there was not a single one along the way.

Finally, the torches in front of me stopped, and I stumbled over and saw Platoon Leader Zhao standing straight. I took Hu Aiguo off with great difficulty, and sat on the ground with my buttocks. I also spat in the process, I was going to spit on Platoon Commander Zhao's face, but I really didn't have the strength, I didn't spit far, and the saliva flowed down my chin onto my sleeping bag.

Before I could breathe here, Platoon Leader Zhao asked me, "Where is squad leader Liu?" ”

Originally, I was resting on the ground, but when I heard this, I immediately lay down. It's not that I'm playing dead, I'm knocked down by this sentence. The feeling of powerlessness and complete despair that welled up from my heart, and the picture of squad leader Liu being dismembered by countless big worms even appeared in my mind. I even thought that it would be better to be shot by me and die a happy death.

Platoon Commander Zhao said, "I'll go find him." ”

I lay on the ground and waved my hand, gasping for breath for a few breaths before I spoke, "Don't go, it's useless to go." Without fire, we are the first to die. Saying that, I pointed to me and Hu Aiguo, the meaning was very clear, Hu Aiguo and I had no strength to leave.

Platoon Commander Zhao said anxiously: "Then what to do, we can't watch him die." ”

I was so tired that I couldn't speak, so I could only gasp for breath, ask for a kettle from Hu Aiguo, and pour a few sips hard.

If you run slower, why did you lose squad leader Liu? I'm saying that with your memory, you might have lost yourself first when you ran back. I scolded him in my heart and began to look at the current environment.

Platoon Commander Zhao was dark behind him, and he couldn't see anything under the light of the torches. And under the same torch, the ground in front of him was clear. There are even a few deflated empty shells of ironclad tide bugs. I no longer paid attention to Platoon Commander Zhao's anxious expression, got up and moved behind Platoon Commander Zhao step by step.

Soon I could see what was going on, platoon leader Zhao was behind a vast expanse of water, and we were on a larger embankment. This embankment will not be any of the embankments I have touched before, but it should be the other shore that we have guessed. The waves gently lapped against the embankment, rolling up a white spray on the embankment. The embankment was not too high above the water, and I could reach it by leaning down and reaching out. I didn't do it, it's redundant, think about it, you know that the water temperature is close to zero, and if you go down, you can avoid these big worms, but you can't avoid death, and it's even more ugly if you can't make death. My head was full swing to figure out what to do.

There is no way back, if you go back, you have to fight with the ironclad tide worm, it is estimated that it will be a complete defeat, no need to estimate, it will be a complete defeat.

Diving to dodge, freezing in a short time, there will be no chance of hypothermia. Die directly.

Boats, if there is a boat we have a chance to escape. Find a boat along the water's edge!

That's the only way I can think of. I immediately said my thoughts, and Platoon Leader Zhao shouted loudly after hearing this: "I'm going to find squad leader Liu!" ”

Find your sister. Before I could say this, I heard a voice in the darkness: "I'm here, help me." ”

I followed the sound and saw a vague shadow in the darkness moving this way. It was the voice of squad leader Liu, we hurriedly greeted it, and when we got closer, it was a black figure like charcoal, and the face and body were all black ash like the bottom of the pot. can only be seen from the steel helmet and the hanging right arm, which is the appearance of squad leader Liu. He carried a black piece of something on his left shoulder, and he walked uncoincidentally.

I shouted angrily, "Where have you been?" What are you carrying, so you don't hear it! ”

Squad Leader Liu bared his teeth, and his black face showed snow-white teeth, "Good things, you can eat them." ”

As soon as I heard that there was something to eat, I was going to jump. The three of us almost pounced on squad leader Liu, but when I saw what was on his shoulder, my face turned green. It was a large, charred worm.

"Can I eat this?" I'm not sure about asking.

"Yes, I ate it, and it's quite delicious." When squad leader Liu spoke, he showed the black scum in his mouth.

I was still hesitating, so Platoon Commander Zhao and Hu Aiguo took the blackened thing, broke off a piece of each, and chewed it "quack". Hunger instantly overcame the psychological barrier, and I reached out and broke off a piece, grabbed it with both hands and took a bite.

The outer part is carbonized, and it is bitter and mushy, just like gnawing on a piece of carbon. I broke off some of the burnt parts on the outside, and when I ate it again, it had the aroma of barbecue, which was very crispy, just like eating twist flowers. We were all so hungry, like a pack of dogs grabbing food that they had eaten this large piece of charred worm in the blink of an eye.

I've never been so full, maybe it's been a long time since I've eaten enough. I burped contentedly and thought to myself: I can be a full ghost this time.

After eating, I immediately gained strength and acted according to the original plan. I lay down and filled the two kettles with water, and Hu Aiguo told squad leader Liu about my plan. Squad Leader Liu thought for a while and didn't speak, and the four of us set off with bulging bellies.

The first thing we encountered was another wave of worms, swooping towards us with teeth and claws. With the experience of the last time, Platoon Commander Zhao easily lit one of them, and the group of big worms also dispersed in a hurry. Judging by the direction, they went to the hole we came out of.

There are no boats, and there will be no boats, and after walking for a while I can only admit with dismay. Because there is no equipment for docking ships on this embankment, not even the most basic bollards, it is impossible to park ships here.

It was a heavy blow. I don't know what the end of walking along the water's edge will be, but I do know that we won't stick to the end because our torches are starting to darken. If we don't find a safe way to escape before the torches are extinguished, we will end up in a miserable situation.

After bypassing us, these big worms all went to the hole we came out of, and it must have been to have a meal. If they are full, they may let us go, and this may be our only hope of surviving for the time being. But when we got to a stone pillar, that only hope was lost.

PS: I'm sorry that there is only one update today. These days are busy with work, and the only few thousand words of manuscript are reduced to zero in a blink of an eye. I'm desperately trying to keep changing, asking for comfort, for support, for understanding.
