Chapter 262: Fierce Battle Around the Campfire
PS: PS: Clicks have dropped sharply this week. I would also like to ask for your support. Thank you Krupp for your evaluation votes.
When Jack saw me suddenly let go of the prey in my hand, he immediately asked alertly, "What's wrong?" ”
I swallowed and moistened my dry throat from nervousness, but I didn't answer him. Instead, he turned on the cyclops flashlight.
The flashlight moved slowly in the darkness, tearing the darkness apart and returning it to the darkness. Suddenly, I turned off my flashlight. Because I don't feel right, I feel like there's a change in the environment, not something in the dark, and even if there's something in the dark, I don't feel it.
When my eyes moved to the brightest place, on the campfire, I immediately understood what made me feel strange. The fire is moving.
As I said, there is no wind here, there is no air flow, and the campfire always burns in a steady manner. But now, it's like the wind is blowing, the campfire is shaking, not violent, but chaotic.
I didn't feel the wind, but I knew there must be a reason for the campfire to shake.
"There's something." I replied to Jack briefly.
The campfire lit up very brightly around it, and I didn't see anything around it. Jack and I dragged our prey on our backs, all the while facing the direction of the campfire, and if something big appeared in that direction, it was impossible for us not to see it.
An inexplicable sense of crisis made me suddenly turn around and face the underground river.
On the bank of the river, a huge figure and two bloodshot eyes appeared in front of me. The light of the fire on the bank of the river was not very clear, but it still allowed me to see the monster's violent mood. The blood spurting from his eyes seemed to scorch through the air.
I didn't think Jack was in the right state to rush out and fight it again, but I was still apprehensive about it, and I didn't wait for Jack to react and picked up my AK47 automatic rifle in both hands. 'Bang', with a gunshot rang out, the back of the blood-eyed monster's head. A swath of divergent green and white splattered. The behemoth, which was more than two meters tall, fell to the ground like a pile of flesh with bones removed.
It wasn't until my gunshots rang out that Jack realized there was danger on the riverbank. Glancing at the monster lying on the bank of the river, Jack strained his swollen eyes and said, "It seems that the one I killed was not the one you first saw." We're in big trouble now. ”
I glared at him angrily and said, "I just asked you to run and you didn't run, wait for trouble." Stop talking nonsense, run. ”
With that, I turned and ran to the fire.
As if waiting for me to react, I had just taken a step when two dark shadows suddenly appeared in front of the campfire. With his back to the campfire, the two pairs of blood-colored eyes looked even more strange against the fire. These two monsters were very close to the campfire, and their long tails were almost dangling on top of it, obviously. They are not afraid of fire.
I don't know how many of them there are, but based on the current situation, they are social species. I don't dare expect me and Jack to kill them all, thank goodness if we can escape. But we can't throw away our backpacks and run naked, it's similar to dying in front of our eyes, we won't live long, our supplies are in two backpacks, especially batteries. We have to get the backpack back.
Jack was visibly frightened by the two strange things that appeared in front of the campfire, and he burst into a foul mouth and was about to rush forward.
I was so angry that I shouted, "Get down." Don't make a mess of Lao Tzu. ”
This cargo without the spirit of teammates squatted down in amazement.
I didn't stop, and hit two short bursts as I ran forward. At such a close distance, as long as I don't drink high, my marksmanship is above ten rings. Two strange things fell unsurprisingly in the sound of gunfire. One of them poured directly into the campfire, crushing half of the fire.
Jack and I ran to the fire and picked up our backpacks. Only to find out that we were surrounded. There are many blood-red eyes looming around the fire, and as long as they lie on the stalactites and do not move, it is difficult to notice, and the blood-glowing eyes are the most likely feature of their self-exposure.
However, I killed three strange things in a short time. Having enough deterrent power on them, these blood-eyed monsters hide in the darkness and do not show themselves easily. But their tails are long, and even if they hide in the stalactites on the roof of the cave, they can still threaten us. And these tails seem to hang down from the top of the campfire, and they disappear with a nimble and powerful pull, which makes us unguarded.
I let one of my tails twitch at my back, and it felt like my bones were about to break. I lay on the ground, muzzle up looking for blood-colored eyes. AK47 didn't dare to shoot upwards, I was afraid of being crushed to death by the stalactites I had broken. Jack was better, he could shoot at the roof of the cave with impunity, but the firepower of the micro charge was limited, and some green blood splattered from the roof of the cave, but not a single blood-eyed monster was missed.
Fortunately, Jack's wave of bullets smashed through, dispersing the strange things entrenched on the roof of the cave, giving us a chance to breathe.
Jack and I lay on our backs head to head. I don't know who took this position first, and I didn't see if he was also hit by the monster's tail, but we both knew we were facing a tricky problem at the moment, we couldn't get up and run.
The top of the cave above our heads is safe for the time being, but as soon as we get out of here, we may be whipped to death by our steel whip tail at any time.
Jack's right arm is not strong and can only shoot with one hand, and he also uses his left hand to change magazines.
I laughed at his clumsy reload movements. "You're going to have to use your left hand when you jerk off in the future."
Jack asked blankly, "What?" ”
I made a lewd gesture.
A lewd smile appeared on Jack's swollen face. "I used my left hand."
I almost laughed out loud, and I didn't know if the Yankee was teasing or serious.
"Boss, which way to run."
Depend on. Listening to his words made me want to spit on him. When have you ever treated me as a boss, you can't run anywhere at the moment, and you may hang up at any time when you stand up. But since he asked, I told him a direction, and if I could run, I would choose this direction.
"Run downstream."
"Okay, I'll cover, you put out the campfire, and then we'll run."
"Your sister, is it necessary to put out the bonfire? What are you worried about? Illuminate the direction of our two runs? Do you think they discovered us by the light of the fire? ”
"No, I think they found us because of the campfire. The last time you found this thing was because of a campfire. They are not afraid of fire, and no animal is not afraid of fire unless they use it. ”
I felt like it took several turns in my head for me to understand what Jack meant.
"You say they use fire? There is no trace of fire here! Damn, how is this possible! ”
"Don't you think they're robbing this fire?" Seeing that I still couldn't believe it, Jack said, "You go and put out these fires, and see how they behave to see if I'm right." (To be continued......)
