PS: PS: Monday, ask for support. There are even fewer who really didn't cheer. Please look at the pirated friends to start supporting, although I will finish this book with a small subscription, but your subscription is the greatest recognition of my encouragement.

Unable to replenish the heat, we stopped to rest and heat more and more frequently, and I gradually changed from running to the river to observe the water conditions, and I became less energetic to climb over the sawdust dam. Of course, it's not that you can't turn it over, but you really don't have the mood and strength to do it.

In a cluster of stalactite pillars, we once again lit a bonfire.

Leaning against a stone pillar with two long legs almost reaching into the fire, Jack raised his wrist and looked at his watch and said, "We've only been walking for three hours this time." If this continues, we will probably only be able to walk for less than two hours next time before we have to rest. ”

I sat beside him, leaning against a stalagmite without an image. The prolonged hunger and low temperature made my body very weak, and I looked at the five people around the campfire, all of whom were on the thin side, and the two Laotians were even more rib-shaped, and this kind of person would be the first to fall in the face of hunger. Of course, this bit of fat on my body didn't last long.

I didn't respond to Jack's words, and he seemed to be talking to himself, not caring if I responded or not. I thought of the underpass. Also hungry, but fortunately we have water to drink.

Hunger made people lose interest in talking, and I looked at the fire in front of me, but my eyelids drooped uncontrollably. Let's sleep for a while, it will save energy, I comfort myself. While giving up the effort to open his eyes.

Although I closed my eyes, facing the campfire, my eyes were still a beating red. It was warm and I think I'll fall asleep soon. Suddenly, my eyes went dark, as if a dark shadow flashed before my eyes.

Here, my mind is always in a state of high tension, and even in my sleep, I wake up instantly at the slightest hint of wind and grass. I immediately opened my eyes and saw that it was Jack, and he was right in front of me. Between me and the campfire. Watching me.

I don't care about making eye contact with a man, and sometimes it stirs me up. But Jack's gaze made me uncomfortable, even repulsive, because there was longing and ** in his gaze.

I suddenly fell asleep. I don't have any problems with my orientation. I can't stand such a warm gaze from a big man. I made an exaggerated vomiting motion. I was about to give him a drink on the head, but suddenly I realized that his eyes were fixed on me.

My body stiffened all of a sudden, and an inexplicable sense of fear made it difficult for me to breathe. I'd rather Jack was hallucinating. If not, then anything here that makes him ** and salivate is intolerable and extremely abnormal.

My throat made a dry cough sound from nervousness, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on my back, instantly transmitting the chill of the stalagmites behind me to me. My stiff body couldn't react for a moment.

Jack's face was enthusiastic, and he gently stretched out a hand, as if facing his beloved girl, and wanted to touch the other person's cheek. This hand passed through my ear, and the movements were very gentle, like the most considerate lover.

When this hand was withdrawn, it was holding an earthworm more than a foot long in his hand. Black-brown and as thick as a little finger. The earthworm was carried right past my cheek by Jack, twisting its body and emitting a foul, pungent smell. I saw Jack lick his lips, though.

My stiff body suddenly went limp, and my weak body, which was already hungry, collapsed completely. An earthworm has made him create such a panic atmosphere, if there is a little extra strength, I will spray him, but I really don't want to waste the little strength I have left, just make a contemptuous expression at him.

Jack's action of sitting back with the earthworm immediately attracted Laotians and Vietnamese, and the three of them gathered around Jack, their eyes full of enthusiasm.

Of course I know what they have to do, and the archaeological team members all have wilderness survival training and experience, and we all know how to get food from the wild, what can and cannot be eaten. But I was very reluctant to this thing, I once tried to eat one, and the wild earthworm had a very strange taste, which made me unbearable, and after eating that earthworm, I vomited for a day, and I couldn't eat for two days.

Jack straightened the earthworm on the ground, cut it into five with a dagger, looked up at three pairs of eager eyes, and said, "One for each." Then he grabbed a piece of earthworm that was still writhing and threw it into his mouth.

Earthworms were stimulated to emit an even more pungent smell, a foul smell that I could feel outside the circle of four heads. I saw that Jack swallowed the earthworm into his stomach without chewing, and it seemed that he didn't like the smell of earthworms either.

In the blink of an eye, there was only one earthworm left on the ground. Jack shook his head at me, "Zhang." ”

I rubbed my stomach with my hand and said, "I'm not hungry." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the earthworm was thrown into Jack's mouth. I looked at Jack's squirming throat with a complicated expression and couldn't help but swallow.

"Where did the earthworms come from?" I guess it's not my own question.

Except for Fumi, who couldn't move freely, everyone else looked around the stalagmite behind me, because the earthworm was the one Jack saw from the stalagmite.

Whether we are walking or resting, we will keep a certain distance from the embankment formed by the debris of the wood, so that we are walking along the river. I was sitting in this position, with my back to the underground river, and not far behind me was the debris embankment. That's where we brought the wood that caught fire.

Two glow sticks circled the stalagmite, and no second earthworm was found. Jack was unwilling to expand the search area, and asked Ah San to hold a glow stick, and the two of them searched in a fan facing outward. Soon there was an excited shout from Ah San's side, and I saw Ah San walking back with an earthworm.

It's the that was formed by the debris of wood. Even if I hadn't been involved in the search, I would have been able to determine where the earthworms came from. An American, a Vietnamese, and a Laotian pounced on the embankment formed by the accumulation of debris at the same time, and soon I saw Jack shove a whole earthworm into his mouth.

I didn't leave the campfire, my back to the campfire, and I watched with my hands folded as the three of them looked for earthworms from the debris of wood. It looks like there's quite a lot of it here, and Buazon even had time to catch earthworms and bring them back to Fumi to eat.

The distance between the fire and the debris embankment was not far away, and Jack could see my expression, he threw an earthworm into his mouth and shouted at me: "Zhang, if you want to survive, you have to adapt to the environment here, although this thing is unpalatable, but it is rich in protein, and it will provide you with stamina and calories." ”

Because it's quiet, you don't need to be too loud to hear the conversation.

Still clasping my arms over my chest, I shook my head and said, "I've eaten this stuff, and it's hard to swallow." ”

"That's better than starving here. The most important thing is that this thing is non-toxic, and you don't have to worry about being poisoned by it. ”

"I don't think I'm going to starve to death. If there are earthworms in this place, there should be a food chain, and you wouldn't think it's a Tyrannosaurus rex at the top of the food chain here. ”

I saw Jack's movements stop all at once and throw something in his hand to the ground. An interjection came out of his mouth and walked back. "Shit, I'm almost full before you say it!" (To be continued......)
