Three-three-two: The last person alive?!
readx;? This may be the last rain that will fall in the Yarman Forest before winter. The cold air has hit this primeval forest www.biquge.info so much so that the rain carries small, granular snow particles. This sleet announced good news to Ian and his party, that is, Yaarman Forest will officially enter the middle of winter in this sleet.
The group hid in the cave and sat around the campfire, but they didn't feel much warmth. Confusion accompanied by cold surrounded their hearts.
A day ago, there had been people like them, sitting in this cave, looking at the four corpses in front of them, leaning on the campfire for warmth.
"Could it be another wave of people sent from the Hall?" Ian asked.
Dennis shook his head slowly: "It's unlikely, there is no need for this in the hall, send two teams of people into here separately." Because the two teams are certainly not as reliable as those who got together, and if they are really sent by the hall, there is no need for the prince to hide it from us. ”
"Could it be the merchants of the Great Hall?" Ian asked, "or the adventurous bards or something." ”
"I don't think it's likely. Harry shook his head, "Merchants would not dare to go to this position without the protection of hunters, and it is still possible to go around the outer edge of the forest." As for the bard, that was a long, long time ago, and my teacher said that the profession of a bard is rare now. ”
Not a hunter, not a merchant, not a bard, who would it be?
Ian felt a bit of a headache. And the bad thing is that it wasn't the only thing that gave him a headache, it was Calby who fell ill even more. After a week, almost frantic journey, the old man finally collapsed, and at the moment of cooling, Harry found that his forehead was horribly hot.
Nicole was boiling herbs for Colby, the scent of the medicine echoing through everyone's nostrils.
Ian watched as Nicole poured the soup into Colby, and asked with a worried expression, "He's going to be fine, right?"
"It's hard to say. Nicole gently rested Colby's head on the clothes she was using to cushion, "If any of us here were like this, it would be fine, even if we didn't take medicine, it would be fine for a few days." But if it's him"
Nicole didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone guessed it. Colby was too old, he was approaching seventy, and he shouldn't have been in such a team at this time. Thinking of this, Ian regretted a little, if he had decided to stop earlier, maybe Colby wouldn't have fallen ill.
"Don't worry, my teacher will make it through. Harry said, "He's been through so many things in his life, and it's not the first time he's fallen ill, he's gritted his teeth and survived, and if he's survived before, this time will be no exception." ”
Harry seems to be comforting everyone, but in fact everyone knows that he is comforting themselves. His eyes were red, and perhaps no one was more worried about Colby than he was, and Ian remembered that Calby had said that Harry was the child he had picked up, and that he had brought it up since he was a child.
Quintina patted Harry on the shoulder, and Harry turned his head to look at her, only to feel that her red hair was unusually warm at the moment.
Quintina only said one word: "It's going to be fine." ”
Harry nodded desperately and said, "I believe it." ”
Ian watched this scene silently, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart. When they first entered the Mississippi Jungle, the atmosphere of this team was still very strange, with Ian, Dennis and Nicole as the three hunters, Colby and Harry as the two merchants, and Quintina and Aris as the two law enforcement teams. Although the three groups of people can also speak, they are all somewhat stiff.
Because at that time, Ian didn't like Colby and Harry very much, Colby didn't like Ian either, and Dennis hated the two of them. And now, after a series of events, the estrangement in the team has slowly disappeared, and perhaps only life and death can unite people who don't like each other.
Of course, there is one other person who has not changed.
That's Green.
Green sat on the outermost, looking at the tiny particles of snow that had a thick layer of frost on the foliage. Ian didn't know what he was thinking, but he came over and sat next to him, and he had the impression that whenever he was confused, Green could always say something inexplicable, but it could make his eyes shine.
"What are you thinking?" asked Ian.
Green replied, "I was thinking about what you just said. ”
"What?"
"For hunters, the forest is home. ”
Ian was stunned, he couldn't remember when he had said such philosophical things. He remembered that he had said, "How can a hunter be starved to death in the forest," and the meaning of the two sentences was different, but it was not far off. It is true that there are some hunters who see the forest as their home.
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
"I was just wondering, if what you say is true, how long can a hunter survive in the forest without a threat to his life?"
"If there is no threat to life, then why not live as long as you want?" Ian replied casually, "Hunters can find prey in the forest, they can find water, even if there is nothing left, they can live for a long, long time with a hunting knife." ”
"So, is six years possible?"
Ian was stunned, he was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what Green meant, and then his heart began to move violently. He hurriedly turned his head and shouted to Nicole inside, "Nicole, is your father's note about how everyone died?!"
Nicole was taken aback by Ian, who suddenly became excited: "What, what's wrong?"
"I mean, did your father tell everyone on that team?" Ian was a little incoherent, "yes, can he be sure those people are dead?"
Fortunately, Nicole understood what Ian meant almost instantly: "You mean"
"Are you saying that there are still people in the team from six years ago who survived?" Dennis also understood what Ian meant, and took over the topic, "They didn't all die, but one person survived, and it was that person who was here yesterday?!"
Ian knew that his conjecture was ridiculous, a man had survived for six years in a place full of dangers and known as the Forest of Death! It was an unlikely thing to hear, but if this person was a hunter and an experienced old hunter, then it was not impossible to survive in the forest for six years with a hunting knife!
Nicole also reacted, hurriedly took out her father's notes and began to flip through them, and soon, she found something: "That's right, my father said that after meeting the Wind King, the team was scattered! There are two senior hunters and three intermediate hunters who don't know where they were washed up!"
That's right, everything is right!
Five people are missing, here are four bodies, everything is right.
That high-level hunter is most likely the only one who survived after meeting Nathan, the Wind King!
At that moment, Green slapped Ian on the shoulder.
"Someone!"
