Chapter 41: The Race Against Death
I rushed to the fire and pushed everyone one by one, but none of them responded. &1t;/p>
I turned my head to look at the river, and there were people who had no eyes, standing up from the river and walking in my direction. &1t;/p>
At this time, I was so anxious, I couldn't leave the people in this place and run away by myself, I grabbed the Lantern Festival that was snoring next to me, and scolded anxiously while shaking him hard: "Lantern Festival, wake up!" Wake up!! Lantern Festival!! I x your uncle!! ”&1t;/p>
I suddenly woke myself up, it turned out to be a dream, I opened my eyes, as soon as I looked up, I saw the big head of the Lantern Festival in the Arabic decoration style just coming over, "Zhuo Ran, I x your uncle!" I'm going to mess with you! You don't forget to scold me when you sleep!! ”&1t;/p>
I rubbed my face, and then let out a sigh, "Sorry, I dreamed!" ”&1t;/p>
I sat up and looked around, and now some of the people in the team were preparing to leave, I looked at Lantern Festival, and then at Anador and Wenmo next to me, the three of them were not asleep, and they were all dressed. &1t;/p>
I looked at Lantern Festival, "Where are you going?" Why don't you take a break? ”&1t;/p>
Lantern Xiao looked at me and smiled, "I said that you kid has a really big heart, don't we need that equipment?" If you don't have any equipment, you can drink the northwest wind in the future! Are you really going to eat pheasant? ”&1t;/p>
"Oooh! You're going back to get your gear, aren't you? I nodded, "Are all those giant mosquitoes scattered?" ”&1t;/p>
Lantern Xiao said: "Just now Ruan Liang said, those mosquitoes can't always fly in the sky, they will inevitably find a place to stay, or go to other places to feed, the most important thing is that mosquitoes are afraid of cold, it is now night Although the air near the river is humid, but the temperature is also low, coupled with the cold wind blowing down from the upstream direction, these mosquitoes will definitely go to the depths of the woods to take refuge, so it should be a better time to go back at this time." ”&1t;/p>
I nodded and said, "I see, then please bring back my equipment, I won't go, I'll be trapped!" After saying that, I yawned, as if lying down, Lantern Xiao pulled me up, and then whispered in my ear: "You must go with us too!" ”&1t;/p>
"Why?" I looked at the Lantern Festival in amazement. &1t;/p>
Lantern Xiao raised her head and pointed at Wenmo, "The boss said." ”&1t;/p>
"This," since Wen Mo said this, there must be a reason for him, so I nodded, and then said to the Lantern Festival gently: "Do you know why?" ”&1t;/p>
Lantern Xiao made a silent gesture vaguely, "It's inconvenient here, I'll talk about it later!" ”&1t;/p>
I thought, so I got up and tidied up my clothes. So he and the others walked along the riverbank to the place where we had unloaded our equipment. &1t;/p>
At that time, when we were going down the river, the thrust of the current was combined with our own strength, so we should have been very fast. So although we felt that we had not been swimming for a long time, we had actually walked for a long time, and we had not yet arrived. &1t;/p>
As we got closer and closer to the place where we would place our gear, everyone couldn't help but be vigilant. &1t;/p>
Ruan Liang, who was walking in the front, suddenly squatted down, looked around and the ground, and then raised his hand and made a careful gesture. &1t;/p>
We were shocked, and we also squatted down and looked around nervously. The surrounding woods are pitch black, and the tall trees are reflected in strange shadows, which makes people feel chills in their hearts. Every sound coming out of the woods made our hearts tremble. &1t;/p>
We cautiously walked some distance further, and in the distance we saw one by one black backpacks on the riverbank, which were our equipment. We cautiously leaned over and hurried to find our respective backpacks. &1t;/p>
But soon we realized that the total number of equipment was not right, and it seemed that there were a few less. After we searched around, there were some traces of dragging on the river beach. &1t;/p>
The traces stretched all the way into the river, and next to them we found some strange footprints, which looked like the footprints of a child. Several people around us immediately froze, how could there be children in this place, and it seemed to extend into the water. The atmosphere of terror was enveloped in an instant. &1t;/p>
But when Ruan Liang came to take a look, he immediately smiled, and he told us that these were not children's footprints at all, but the footprints left by monkeys. &1t;/p>
"Monkeys?" Lantern Xiao looked at the trees around her, "It seems that our equipment was taken away by a group of monkeys?" ”&1t;/p>
"But," said one of the fellows, "shouldn't the monkey pull it up the tree when it steals, why does it pull it into the water?" ”&1t;/p>
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense again, and even Ruan Liang was stunned. &1t;/p>
The fellow continued: "I have heard that there is a water monkey in the water in some places, and legend has it that this water monkey is actually a water ghost, and if someone stays near the river, it will be pulled into the water. You say, "Aren't we going to do the same?" ”&1t;/p>
Ruan Liang waved his hand, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, just lose a few pieces of equipment, don't scare yourself." "Tian Laosi and Yuan An both stayed in the camp just now and did not come, so the Yuan family's team all obeyed Ruan Liang's command. &1t;/p>
In fact, losing one or two sets of equipment is not a big impact on such a team, but what is more depressing is that I also lost my equipment! &1t;/p>
Seeing that my expression was not very good, Lantern Xiao came over and patted me, "It's okay, your equipment is lost, let's use a condom is enough." ”&1t;/p>
I looked at Lantern Festival, then at Anado, and said softly: "Although we are with Yuan An's team now, once we encounter a real problem, don't expect them to really help us, so the four of us are really in the same boat, but the four of us have lost two sets of equipment now!" ”&1t;/p>
Anador next to her couldn't help but sigh, her equipment had disappeared when she passed through the dark river cave. I was afraid that my words would cause her to misunderstand, so I hurriedly said: "Ah, in fact, no one wants to do this, and there is no way to meet it, let's take one step at a time!" ”&1t;/p>
Wen Mo next to him said at this time: "Actually, in the jungle, don't worry too much about the supply of food and water, there are rich animals and plants here. It's just that there will be some influence on the drugs and equipment, just be careful! ”&1t;/p>
I didn't expect a cold person like Wenmo to be comforting, but it did make sense, and my heart was a little more settled. &1t;/p>
At this time, Ruan Liang began to beckon everyone to go back, we had just walked a few steps, and suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the depths of the jungle next to us, as if someone had put a large hemp thunder in it. &1t;/p>
I even felt my feet tremble a little, and everyone was a little stunned, "What a move!!" "What's that sound!" &1t;/p>
Wen Mo groaned slightly, and immediately shouted: "It's not good!!" Come on!! ”&1t;/p>
The three of us were a little surprised, and we didn't understand what was going on, but out of a kind of trust in Wenmo, we started to run forward. &1t;/p>
Later, Ruan Liang and the rest of the team seemed to be a little inexplicable when they saw us running, they didn't know Wenmo, and they didn't know that Wenmo would never release meaningless signals. &1t;/p>
But soon, they knew what it meant, because in the depths of the jungle, there was a sudden "buzz". &1t;/p>
Even if we were running in front, when we heard this sound, our scalps exploded. This voice is all too familiar to us, and it is too impressive. That's that giant mosquito swarm. &1t;/p>
The people of Yuan An's team behind them, after hearing this voice, immediately ran wildly!! It's really a race against death, there is no reward for winning, and there is only one result for losing, death! &1t;/p>
Probably due to the shaking in the jungle just now, these giant mosquitoes look even more ferocious than they did just now, as they seem to be flying faster than just now. &1t;/p>
We involuntarily quickened our pace, and gunshots were already ringing behind us, and I knew that such firepower was useless to the mosquito swarm. &1t;/p>
The sound of "buzzing" behind is getting closer and closer, I have heard the screams again, my nerves are almost stretched to the limit, every scream is like a sledgehammer smashed on my chest, making my heart shake violently, I feel that I have left a psychological shadow, I am afraid that I will not be able to face mosquitoes in the summer in the future, I think after this incident, I need to see a psychiatrist! &1t;/p>
Wen Mo, who was at the front, suddenly shouted, "Quick!" Into the water! ”&1t;/p>
"Jump again!" Lantern Xiao said as she ran: "My clothes have just been dried." ”&1t;/p>
Without hesitation, Anador jumped into the water first. I stretched out my hand to grab the Lantern Festival, "If you don't jump now, you will only have clothes left in the future!" With that, I jumped into the river with the Lantern Festival. &1t;/p>
At the same time, I heard people behind me also jumping into the river. &1t;/p>
As soon as I entered the water, I didn't even dare to show my head, so I stabbed forward. I had just swam a few times before I felt someone pull me. I immediately turned my head to look, but there was hardly any light under the water at night, and I couldn't see clearly, but I could only make out the general outline of a figure. &1t;/p>
At this time, a light source lit up in the figure's hand, which should be a flashlight. I immediately knew that this should be one of Wenmo and Lantern Festival. Because when we were purchasing equipment in Guizhou, we bought a field waterproof flashlight, but not a diving flashlight, although Wenmo prepared his own equipment at that time, but he did not prepare many light sources, so we also bought two for him. &1t;/p>
Although this kind of flashlight can be waterproof for a short time, the light penetration is not enough, and it is difficult to illuminate underwater. &1t;/p>
I guess this person is Wenmo nine times out of ten, and his meaning is obvious, it is for me to follow him. So I swam to the light of the flashlight. &1t;/p>
But soon I realized that the flashlight was leading me in the direction not downstream, but swimming across the river. &1t;/p>
