Chapter 222: Go Upstream

PS: PS: Very tired, I have to go to work during the Chinese New Year, I have to visit relatives and friends, and I have to take out the time code word, and I am really tired. Give a little reward to the hard-working authors! Thank you.

The cave on the side of the embankment is actually very high, and I walked along the side of the cave wall, and the peculiar stalactites on the cave wall seemed to hang in front of me.

Some stalactites hang down from the top of the cave, some grow upwards from the ground, like ice hanging, like stalagmites, and there are more mountains, jungles, and animal shapes, and the postures are different. But there is one common characteristic, which is that it is very huge. This shows that this cave has existed for tens of millions of years.

I didn't linger here for long, and quickly took a look at the flat land. When I returned to the fire, I carried a pile of firewood in my arms. On this small flat land, there are many pieces of wood scattered, especially in the middle of the stalactite group, which is close to the flat land.

The pieces of wood were not fresh, and they had dried up, so they should have been washed down from the previous floods. What I was curious about was that the wood was very small pieces, and a large number of matchstick-like pieces of wood had piled up here, which made me wonder.

The fire was in the middle of the flat ground, and I threw the broken wood in my arms into the fire, and said to Jack, "Take me upstream, I'm curious to see the conclusion that you don't have life here." ”

I think Jack had been watching me, and when he saw me come back with a pile of broken logs, he had a strange smile on his face. "You should have guessed."

I nodded, but didn't speak. Yes, I already have a vague understanding in my heart. But I'm going to go to the scene and take a look, and if it's true to Jack's conclusion, we're afraid we'll have to go downstream at once. Whether it's to find your way or to find food.

Jack threw me a gun and a backpack, and he picked up a backpack and grabbed an AK47 to lead the way upstream.

When I was carrying my backpack and hanging the micro * flush around my neck, I felt that the injury on my back was not very painful, and I couldn't help but doubt my judgment, is it really a fracture? After listening to what Jack said, the pain was weakened under the psychological effect.

I followed Jack and asked, "Jack, what's the problem with my back?" I feel serious. Don't fool me. ”

Jack stopped. He turned back to me and said, "I'm sure it's not a fracture, it's a ruptured ligament." ”

When I was in school, I had a knee ligament injury, and it was a tearing pain. It's not the same as my current pain. I couldn't trust Jack for that alone.

"Then how do I feel different? I've had a torn ligament before. I can feel the pain. "I said dissatisfied." You tell me the truth. There's no need to hide it from me in this case. I can handle it. ”

I saw Jack have a devastated expression.

"Okay." Jack exhaled and said, "A ruptured ligament is much more serious than a torn ligament, and surgery is necessary to recover." And, before the surgery was successful. Your right arm will most likely be unable to move. Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

I moved my right arm slightly. "But my right arm can move, and the pain is very different from a torn ligament. How satisfied you make me. ”

The expression on Jack's face went from startled to confused, and finally to collapse. "Hell, how did you do that. Otherwise, I'll check it for you again. ”

"Die." I exclaimed. "I'd rather let that big snake swallow it than let you touch me again."

Of course, my words are exaggerated, but they also represent my resolute attitude and fear. The examination he did on me left a shadow on my heart, and it made me even less believe that he had a master's degree in medicine.

Jack frowned and insisted, "You have to believe me..."

I made a stop gesture. "Lead the way, move forward. Shall we close this topic? ”

"Ligament rupture is really serious. Don't take it lightly, it could be disabled. ”

I looked at Jack in silence, and I was already regretting that I had provoked it.

"I'm insisting on giving you another check-up."

I handed the firewood in my right hand to my left hand, and my right arm hung down naturally. Said to Jack, "It can't move." ”

Jack's face turned red all at once, and he said angrily and angrily, "You're insulting me!" ”

Your sister. Why do you want to torture me and not allow me to insult you once?

But Jack's expression really made me a little worried. It was only during this contact that I found out that this Yankee has a lot of strength, and he is not at all like his polite appearance. If this thing is really overlord, with my current state, eighty percent of them will be ravaged by him.

Fortunately, the confrontation between the two of us was limited to momentum, and after seeing that my attitude was extremely resolute, he burst out in English very unpleasantly, turned around and walked upstream of the river.

A cold sweat broke down my spine, and my freshly dried clothes were wet. This psychological pressure is not ordinary.

The lighting firewood in my hand was quickly burned out, and I threw it away and pulled out the cyclops flashlight. At this time, Jack finally turned around and said: "Don't use a flashlight, we don't have many batteries, use a glow stick, although the lighting is poor, but it lasts a lot longer." ”

I nodded and put away my flashlight. "How many more glowsticks do we have?"

"Six. It's all with me. If we can't find food, we won't run out of these six glow sticks. ”

I gave this crow's beak a blank look. Frankly I have more confidence than he does, and I think our greater enemy is darkness and no way out.

Leaving the flat area of the riverbank where we were resting, Jack and I were about to climb the mountain wall on one side of the riverbank. Beneath your feet is a rumbling underground river. The mountain walls on both sides of the river bank are not very steep, and stalactites grow on the mountain walls, forming a lot of strange landscapes and leaving a lot of places to stay. We didn't move fast, but we didn't run into much danger.

However, along the way, I also found a problem, that is, the underground river is hollowing out the river channel, and at the same time, it is also washing away the mountain walls on both sides of the riverbank. The part of the mountain wall on both sides of the river near the water surface is washed away smoothly and there are no protrusions, making it difficult to climb the mountain wall on both sides of the river in the river.

I don't think it would have been for the flat ground where we were resting slightly above the water, Jack and them (and me, of course, though I was still uncertain at the time. It will continue to drift down the river, and I don't know where it will drift.

Seeing this, my mood was a little low. Because we will most likely end up going downstream, if this is the case on both sides of the river, we will have to climb the mountain wall, but then the speed will be very slow and the physical consumption will be very high. This will make it harder to find food.

Because the illumination range of the glow sticks is limited and the brightness is pitiful, I have to follow Jack closely, otherwise it will be difficult to see the road. When I asked Jack to shine the glow stick on the water, Jack understood what I meant. Shaking his head, he said, "You can't get up from the water, there's nothing to cling to." ”

He proved my guess.

After about an hour, I heard a louder sound of water, like the sky was about to fall, and I could feel the walls of the mountains trembling.

At this point, Jack shone a glow stick on his face and said to me, "It's here." (To be continued......)
