Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Obviously, when Chen Yihan was sleeping, nothing interesting happened. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!).
By the time Chen Yihan woke up, it was already afternoon, and the scorching sunlight shone in through the cracks in the stones.
"Are there any signs of our friends showing up?" Chen Yihan opened his eyes, looked at Katniss and asked.
Katniss shook her head and said, "No, he's quite low-key and unsettling. ”
"How long do you think it will be before the tournament organizers get us together?" Chen Yihan asked again.
"Well, Fox Face died almost a day ago, so there's plenty of time to place bets, and I'm almost tired of it. I think it's possible at any time. Katniss thought for a moment and spoke her mind.
"Yes, I think it's possible today." Chen Yihan sat up as he spoke, looking at the calm field outside: "I wonder what they will do?" ”
Katniss was silent.
Actually, it's not a good question to answer.
"Then there's no need to waste hunting time before they take action. We should eat as much as we can now, just in case we are in danger. Chen Yihan said.
Katniss set her and Chen Yihan's gears in order, and then took out the food, rabbit meat, plant roots, wild vegetables, and an egg roll with the last bit of cheese.
Chen Yihan only left apples and squirrels.
By the time the two of them had finished eating, there was only a pile of rabbit bones left.
Chen Yihan's hands were stained with rabbit fat, which made him feel dirty. Maybe they don't take a bath every day in the "crack zone", but Chen Yihan hasn't lived here since he was a child, and he is still a little uncomfortable with these.
Leaving the cave had a feeling that the finale was about to appear, whether it was dead or alive, no matter what the outcome was, Chen Yihan felt that he would not stay in the arena for a second night.
And he also felt that he would definitely be able to escape this catastrophe today.
Chen Yihan patted the stone, said goodbye to it, and then walked towards the stream, wanting to rinse it.
Chen Yihan's skin longed for cold water to wash it, he could wash his hair, and then comb his braids when wet, and even wash his clothes.
But when he and Katniss came to the stream, the riverbed had dried up, and Chen Yihan stretched out his hand and touched it with his hand.
"There's not even a bit of moisture left, and it looks like the water was sucked away while we slept." Chen Yihan said.
At the same time, the fear of chapped lips, aching and dizziness that had previously been dehydrated came back to him.
Fortunately, their water bottles are quite full, and their bodies are not short of water, but the two of them want to drink water, and the sun is very poisonous, Chen Yihan estimates that he and Katniss will not last long.
"Lake!" Katniss suddenly said, "They want us to go there." ”
"Maybe there's still water in the pond." Chen Yihan hopes to find water.
"Let's go check it out." Katniss said.
Chen Yihan knew that she was ridiculing herself, actually. Chen Yihan was also teasing himself, because he knew what he would see when he returned to the pond where he soaked his legs, a large pit full of dust and small holes.
But Chen Yihan and Katniss still walked there to confirm it.
"You're right, they're driving us towards the lake." Chen Yihan said as he walked.
They made no secret of it, and they were doing everything they could to cause a bloody fight to the death, and nothing could stop them from watching.
"Do you want to go straight away, or wait until you run out of water?"
"Go now, we're full and rested. Let's go and finish this qiē. Katniss said.
Chen Yihan nodded.
It's funny, Chen Yihan feels as if he is back on the first day of The Hunger Games, in the same position, twenty-one contestants are dead, and he is going to be the last to go to Cato.
yes, hasn't he been killing people all the time?
Now it seems that the other fighters are just a small obstacle, and after clearing them, the real game begins, which is the fight between himself and Cato.
No, and the girl next to me.
Chen Yihan felt that Katniss put her firm arm around his shoulder. "Two against one, little meaning." Katniss pretended to be relaxed.
"Next time we eat, it's in Capit." Chen Yihan also said with a smile.
"Sure, yes."
Chen Yihan and Katniss hugged each other, standing there, basking in the sun, feeling each other's strength, the rustle of leaves on the side.
Then, Chen Yihan and Katniss let go of their hands and walked towards the lake.
At this moment, Chen Yihan no longer cares if Katnis's heavy footsteps scare away the birds, because they are going to have a fight with Cato, whether here or in the wasteland, Chen Yihan will not hesitate to rush forward, if the organizers of the competition want them to be in the open space, then well, the fight will start in the open space.
When Chen Yihan and Katniss walked to the tree where the pros were trapping, they both stopped at the same time.
The beehive has been blown by the wind and sun, and it has become an empty shell, and this is it, yes.
Chen Yihan kicked the hive with the tip of his shoe, and it immediately turned into ashes and went away with the wind.
Chen Yihan raised his head and couldn't help but look at the tree that Lulu had climbed, and it was on this tree that she came up with this method to save her life.
Stalker bees, and that horrible hallucination......
"Let's go." Chen Yihan said that he hoped to escape from this dark place as soon as possible.
Katniss did not object.
The two of them went out late this morning, and when they arrived at the lake, it was nearly dusk.
Here, there was no shadow of Cato, and there was no movement at all except the horn of Zeus shining in the setting sun.
In order to prevent Cato from raiding, Chen Yihan and Katniss walked around the horn of Zeus to make sure that no one was there.
Then, as if still following the instructions of Black Mith, they both went to the lake to fill it with water.
As the sun gradually set, Chen Yihan frowned and said, "I don't want to fight him after dark, because we only have a pair of night vision goggles." ”
Katniss carefully dripped iodine into the water and said, "Maybe he's waiting for dark, what do you want?" Back to the Stone Cave? ”
"Either go back, or find a tree, let's wait for him for another half an hour, and then we'll hide." Chen Yihan thought for a while and said.
However, in the end, the two of them sat by the lake, completely unhidden.
Because, now there is no need to hide anymore.
In the forest next to the clearing, Chen Yihan saw mocking birds flying, happily singing to each other, as if playing brightly colored leather balls.
Chen Yihan opened his mouth to sing Lulu's four-note tune, and they stopped, first curious about Chen Yihan's voice, and continued to listen.
Chen Yihan sang a few more times, and then one bird sang in his tune, and another bird sang, and the forest was filled with cheerful birdsong.
"You're like my dad and whistling." Katniss said.
Chen Yihan stroked the golden bird on Katnis's shirt with his hand and said, "That's Lulu's song, I think they still remember." ”
The beautiful tone played by the birdsong spread farther and farther, and Chen Yihan felt that this minor tune was very good.
When the birdsong overlaps, it forms a beautiful harmony, which is so harmonious and beautiful.
Thanks to Lulu, it was she who used this beautiful voice to send the hard-working orchard workers of District 11 to sleep.
Now that she is gone, Chen Yihan is thinking, will anyone take it as a finishing song?
For a while, Chen Yihan closed his eyes and listened quietly, intoxicated by this beautiful melody.
But something interrupted the music, the sound of running, the sound of running along a curvy course, the sound of dissonance mixed into the beautiful melody, and at last the mocking bird's voice became a shrill alarm.
Chen Yihan and Katniss stood up suddenly, Katniss held the knife in her hand, and Chen Yihan bent his bow and arrows, ready to shoot.
At this moment, Cato rushed out of the woods and ran towards them.
Cato did not have a spear in his hand, in fact, he ran straight at him empty-handed.
Chen Yihan's first arrow hit him in the chest, but for some reason, it "snapped" and fell to the side.
"He's got armor!" Chen Yihan shouted at Katniss.
In an instant, Cato had already run in front of Chen Yihan and Katnis, Chen Yihan cheered up and prepared to fight, but Cato Fei also ran past them and didn't stop at all.
He looked flustered, sweaty, red-faced, and could tell that he had been running for a long time.
"He didn't run at us, why did he run? What do you want to dodge? Chen Yihan wondered.
Then, Chen Yihan looked into the woods and saw the first animal jump into the clearing.
"Holy!" Chen Yihan turned around and ran, and then saw six other fierce beasts jumping out of the woods.
Chen Yihan ran behind Cato regardless of it, with only one thought in his heart, to run for his life.
That kind of beast is a mongrel dog, Chen Yihan has never seen this kind of dog, this is not an ordinary dog.
This kind of dog is like a big wolf, but, what kind of wolf can stand lightly on its hind legs? What kind of wolf seems to have a wrist and will wave its paws at their accomplices to make them rush forward? These were seen by Chen Yihan from a distance, and when he looked closer, they must have been even more ferocious.
Cato rushed straight towards the horn of Zeus, and there was no doubt that Chen Yihan would follow him.
If he felt that it was safe there, who else could Chen Yihan fight with?
In addition, if Chen Yihan ran into the woods, Katniss would not be able to outrun them with that leg......
"Ah, yes, Katniss!" When Chen Yihan put his hand on the metal tip of the tail of Zeus's horn, he suddenly remembered his ally.
Katniss was about fifteen meters behind her, dragging her injured leg and running forward with all her might, but the wild dogs were closing in on her.
Chen Yihan shot an arrow at the dogs, and one dog fell, but the others were still in hot pursuit.
Katniss waved at the top of Zeus' horn: "Run, run!" ”
"Katniss is right, on the ground, I can't protect either of us." Thinking of this, Chen Yihan began to climb up, using his hands and feet at the same time.
Zeus's horn is very similar to the container used for harvesting, and the golden surface is edged and seamed, so it is impossible to grasp at all.
After a day of exposure, the metal surface of Zeus's horn burned Chen Yihan's hands.
Cato lay on his side at the very top of Zeus's horn, which was about twenty meters above the ground.
He gasped for breath as he vomited on the edge of Zeus' horn.
Now it's time to end him up for himself!
Chen Yihan climbed halfway to a stop, mounted the arrow, and was about to shoot, when he heard Katniss shouting.
Chen Yihan hurriedly turned around and saw that Katniss was running to the tail of Zeus's horn, and the wild dog was behind her.
"Climb up!" Chen Yihan shouted.
It's not just his legs that hold Katniss back, but also the knife in her hand.
The claws of the first wild dog had already landed on the metal shell of Zeus's horns, and Chen Yihan shot it in the throat with an arrow, and it writhed and died.
At the same time, the corpse smashed into the dingos behind them, causing them to take a slight step back. At this time, Chen Yihan saw the wild dog's claws, which were half a meter long and extremely sharp. Katniss grabbed Chen Yihan's feet, and Chen Yihan grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
At this time, Chen Yihan suddenly remembered Cato at the top, and hurriedly turned his head to look.
Cato was moving back and forth restlessly, his body twitching, apparently fearing the wild dogs far more than he feared himself and Katniss.
What he was shouting in his mouth, Chen Yihan couldn't hear it clearly, because the wild dog was barking.
"What?" Chen Yihan shouted at him.
"He said, will they climb up?" Katniss said.
Chen Yihan's attention was drawn back to the low end of Zeus's horn.
Wild dogs gather more and more, and they all stand on their hind legs, very similar to people.
Each dog has thick hair, some straight, some curly, and the eyes range from dark to golden yellow.
These wild dogs have an indescribable feeling that makes people stand on their heads.
The wild dogs sniffed and gnawed on the metal shell of Zeus's horn with their beaks, their paws scratching at the metal surface, and then screaming at each other.
This must be how they communicate with each other!
After the scream, the dogs retreated backwards, making way for a certain amount of space, and then, a large wild dog with smooth golden fur ran over from a distance, and suddenly jumped onto the horn of Zeus, its hind legs must be very powerful, it was more than five meters away from Chen Yihan and the others, and roared again, and the pink lips opened back.
For a moment, it stayed there and didn't move, and at this moment, Chen Yihan found out what the wild dog was making him creepy.
The burning gaze of wild dogs is unlike any dog or wolf, and all the canines Chen Yihan has ever seen have no such eyes, which are human eyes.
Chen Yihan's fear was further confirmed when he saw the gem-encrusted number "One" on the dog's collar.
Yellow head, green eyes, number...... It's Grimer!
Chen Yihan screamed in horror, and the bow and arrow in his hand almost slipped off.
"Damn, I didn't expect it to be so perverted!" Chen Yihan cursed in a low voice, stabilized the bow and arrow in his hand, and waited for the right time to shoot, because there were only two arrows in his hand.
Chen Yihan waited quietly, wanting to see if those creatures could climb up.
At this point, the wild dog could not grasp the smooth metal surface and began to slide downward, its sharp claws making a piercing sound like fingernails scratching at a blackboard.
Chen Yihan shot an arrow into its throat, and the wild dog twisted its body and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Katniss?" Chen Yihan felt Katniss grasp his arm. "It's her!" Chen Yihan shouted.
"Who is it?" Katniss asked.
Chen Yihan looked around and carefully looked at the wild dogs of different sizes and colors. Baby wild dog with red fur and amber eyes......
Fox face!
Over there, gray-haired, hazel-eyed wild dogs, and District 9 boys who died while scrambling for backpacks!
Worst of all, the youngest one, with shiny black fur, large brown eyes, and a wild dog with a straw mark on his collar, showed sharp teeth of hatred.
Is that......
Lulu!!
"What's wrong, Chen Yihan?" Katniss shook his shoulder.
"It's them, all of them. The others, Lulu, Foxface, and ...... All the 'tributes'! Chen Yihan said with a little stammer.
Katniss also gasped, "What did those people do to them?" You don't think ...... Those are really their eyes. I don't worry about their eyes, but what about their brains? Are there any real memories of other 'tributes'? Their brains are implanted with special memories to hate us because we survived while they were brutally killed? Do the people we kill, do they feel avenging their own deaths? ”
Before Chen Yihan could speak, the wild dogs launched another round of attacks.
They were divided into two groups, lined up on both sides, and pounced on Chen Yihan and them with their strong hind legs.
A dog pounced, its teeth less than a meter away from Chen Yihan's hand.
At this time, Chen Yihan heard Katnis's bark, and he felt that someone was tugging on his body, the weight of a boy, plus the weight of a dog, all pressed on the side of Chen Yihan's body.
If it weren't for grabbing Chen Yihan's arm, Katniss would have fallen to the ground.
Chen Yihan used all his strength to try not to slide down the turn of Zeus's horn.
More wild dogs pounced.
"Kill it, Katniss! Kill it! Chen Yihan shouted.
Even though he couldn't see it, he knew that Katniss must have stabbed the dingo because the force of the downward pull had become smaller.
Chen Yihan pulled her back up, and the two of them crawled towards the top together, where another evil enemy awaited.
Cato hadn't yet stood up, his breathing was still weak, but Chen knew he would soon recover, and then lunged at himself and Katniss, killing them.
Chen Yihan took the arrow, but it shot at a wild dog that pounced behind them.
It had to be Salish, who could jump so high but him?
At this time, Chen Yihan and Katniss had already climbed out of reach of wild dogs, and Chen Yihan breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Chen Yihan was about to turn his head to deal with Cato, Katniss was pulled away from him, and blood splashed Chen Yihan's face.
Chen Yihan thought that this time she must have let the wild dog bite her.
At this time, Chen Yihan saw Cato standing on the edge of Zeus's horn, right in front of him, and clamped Katnis's head under his armpit, pinching her so that she couldn't breathe.
Katniss scratched Cato's arm desperately, but he was slumped.
Katniss was terrified, not knowing whether to break free of Cato or plug his bleeding calf from a dog bite.
There were still two arrows left, Chen Yihan aimed one arrow at Cato's head, he knew that the arrow could not hurt Cato's limbs, it was so close, Chen Yihan saw that Cato was wearing flesh-colored tight armor, which must be the high-grade armor provided by Capit.
Did you get this armor from the banquet backpack?
Well, they should have given him another pair of facial armor.
Cato laughed maniacally, "Shoot me, but she'll fall with me." ”
Yes, if he had shot Cato, he would have fallen into the pack of wild dogs, and Katniss would have died.
They froze there for a moment.
Shooting Cato himself will kill Katniss, and if you kill Katniss, you will also take an arrow.
Chen Yihan and Cato all stood motionless like sculptures, both of them thinking of a strategy to deal with it.
Chen Yihan's muscles were tense and his teeth were shaking so hard that he couldn't hold on. The wild dog quieted down, and Chen Yihan's good ears could hear his blood vessels pounding.
Katnis's lips are getting purple, and if she doesn't act quickly, she'll suffocate to death!
If he loses her, Cato will turn his head against himself with his big man.
In fact, Chen Yihan also knew that this was Cato's strategy, and he stopped laughing wildly, and a victor's smile appeared on his face.
In this critical moment, Katnis, with the last of her strength, raised her hand to Cato's arm.
Instead of trying to break free of Cato, he deliberately made an "X" mark on the back of Cato's hand.
Cato understood the meaning of the mark, but it was too late.
Chen Yihan saw the smile disappear from his face, and the arrow in his hand also came out of the string, and shot the back of Cato's hand in response.
"Ahh
Cato yelled and let go of Katnis, who immediately turned around and lunged at him.
In that terrible moment, Chen Yihan thought that the two of them would fall together. Chen Yihan rushed up and grabbed Katniss with an arrow, the metal shell was covered with blood, and Cato's feet slipped and fell straight to the ground.
