Chapter Twenty-Five: Lurking in the Jungle

When I saw that it was Dickens and Tom, who had been missing for a long time, I was so happy that I was happy. They have always been uncertain about their lives and are now back. There is no greater joy in the world than to be regained and brought back to life.

When I saw Dickens, I felt an incomparably intimate feeling, and an extremely down-to-earth sense of security arose. I immediately went up and gave them a hug. He said to Dickens excitedly, "Uncle, so you are still alive?" That's great! ”

In the same way, Dickens was overjoyed to see that we were still alive. After all, the other party is an old Jianghu, and he said to me and the old ghost: "Clean them up first, and let's talk later!" ”

We nodded again and again, and suddenly became energetic and emotional. Hurry up and concentrate your firepower, and fight bravely with Dickens and them. After a while, He Jianguo and the others were knocked back into the cave. When we saw that we had already beaten the other side, we stopped attacking.

After all, this is already someone's hometown and lair. It is definitely unrealistic to want to put them in one pot in one go. Their current frustration is also because they were caught off guard by our two-way attack. If we push too hard and fight to the death, then we are in danger. The rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry, and if the other party "jumps off the wall in a hurry", we will be miserable.

After cleaning up the mood of the fierce battle, a few of us retreated into the jungle. Although the climate on the coast is humid and cold, it is very good for us to fight in concealment. Fortunately, Dickens already had his own home. A few of us immediately withdrew to Dickens's shelter. It was an extremely hidden hollow in the tree, and I couldn't help but look up at this huge tree. Although it is not very tall, it is extremely stout, and it simply refreshes the previous understanding of the tree.

The tree is 4 or 5 meters wide in diameter, and the distance between the top and bottom is also wide. But near the ground, weeds and vines were growing taller than a person. The location is extremely hidden, and if you don't look carefully, you will never be discovered. A few of us stood still in the hollow of the tree, and we couldn't help but look around at the environment.

I took a closer look around and saw that the basic necessities were quite complete. I can't help but wonder: how did Dickens find here? This island is full of He Jianguo's eyes and ears, how did he quietly find such a hidden place in front of everyone's eyes? And how can it go unnoticed for so long?

When I think about it, I take it for granted. After all, Dickens was a veteran sailor for many years. It should not be unfamiliar with survival skills such as jungle survival, desert island survival, and sea escape. It's not a plenary, but at least it's going to be one or two things.

My conjectures and judgments were confirmed in the following conversations:

After capsizing, Dickens woke up with him alone. He shouted a few times, but no one answered. According to his own judgment, it should be the legendary ghost island. I've heard from my friends about the situation here, so it's not like us, so I don't feel very unfamiliar with it. The surroundings are very similar to what my friends said. So, he felt both familiar and unfamiliar with the place.

Since this is the legendary ghost island, there must be countless pirates and villains, so it is better to be careful everywhere. Dickens looked around, quietly searching the seashore. Hopefully we can find a few of us, or one of them.

However, none of them were found, but a lot of floating objects were picked up. Some float up with the box, while others float on their own. Coupled with some of the things he Dickens himself carried, it was enough to cope with the daily life. Dickens hurriedly picked up a few useful items, and searched for them according to the route he remembered his friend had told him.

After searching for a while, I didn't find the hut depicted by my friend in the legend. But it was dark in front of me, and I found the big tree in front of me. Seeing the lush foliage and vines under the trees, Dickens suddenly felt that this should be a good place to live. So he opened a hole with his knife and got into it himself.

However, as soon as I entered, I found it unusually difficult to walk. It was full of thorns, and Dickens's arms, face, and other parts were cut. Large and small openings, with dots of blood. It hurts to say that it doesn't hurt, and it hurts a little to say that it doesn't hurt.

Dickens didn't care about the minor injury, but continued to crawl forward. Facing the vines in front of him, there was a real "swinging a knife to cut the mess". After a while, the front of him became open. Gradually, my hands and feet will swing freely. The closer you get to the roots, the more spacious it becomes.

Just when Dickens was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt the vines in front of him move.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to it, so he didn't take it to heart. Then, however, there was another commotion among the vines. Not all at once, but a series of commotions. Dickens was immediately alert, and stood up tightly with the knife in his hand. He went to sea all year round and developed a habit of vigilance that was different from ordinary people. It is extremely sensitive to changes in the environment. A pair of eagle eyes, scanning the surrounding qiē.

There was silence all around, only the sound of one's own breathing.

The place where there was a strange movement just now looked black in the light. Dickens reached for his trouser leg, and fortunately, the small flashlight was still there.

He wore pants that resembled the style of a soldier's camouflage uniform, and the fabric was extremely strong and durable. The only difference from the military uniform is that there are a lot of pockets and buckles on it, so you can carry a lot of things.

At first, Dickens wore such clothes because of the novelty. But later, I found that such clothes were durable and convenient, so I kept wearing the same pants. Slowly formed a habit, and it was never changed. Because of the usual needs, just hang some necessary things on these pockets and buckles. Knives and guns are always with you. When you use it, you can pick it up casually, but it is also very convenient.

The small flashlight that I just touched out is one of the daily necessities. Waterproof, although not big, but the strength and range are very good. It can always be used when going to sea and going down to the cabin for inspection. It's not a precious thing, but it's really not good to live without it. Therefore, Dickens also cherished this little flashlight, and it was one of his favorite objects. From time to time, I will take it out, play with it, and maintain it.

Thanks to the usual maintenance and cherishing, now this small flashlight has come in handy.

As soon as the light shone on, the black mass in front of me turned out to be a large cobweb. There seemed to be something wrapped in the middle of the spider web, and Dickens picked it with the tip of his knife, and the thing even moved!
