Chapter 8: Life and death hang by a thread
"I have a plan, you lock the car and follow me." The little man still looks confident.
"How can I open that lock?! Otherwise, I'd have gone out as soon as possible, and I'd have to wait for the lions to come around? Now go out and feed the lions," I was so angry that my ears were smoking, "and that's your plan?" ”
"Really won't open? I thought you ....... Well, change the plan. He was unflustered, his focus seemed to be on whether I could unlock the lock, without the slightest consideration for the evil lion outside, and his expression was still as relaxed as playing a game, even if he doubted what I said, he didn't delve into it, as if he had recognized the wrong person.
"What's the plan? I couldn't get out, the door was locked by chains, and the glass couldn't be opened. I shouted anxiously.
"Lack of common sense? Or are you too nervous to judge? He wasn't particularly pleased with my performance, and pointed to the rear of the car, "The trunk." ”
I was stunned, and suddenly there was a burst of joy, and I immediately got up and groped around the back seat quickly, and sure enough, there was a buckle, and I pulled the buckle and pulled the back seat back hard, and a trace of excitement rose in my heart: the trunk was empty, and I could enter smoothly. But, for now, should I believe that the bomb was merely a scare, or should I follow the little man to try to get a life out of the enclosed lions? Seeing that the ticking of the time bomb was getting closer to zero, and that the little man had already gotten into the trunk and kicked a crack, and looked out to see where the lion was standing, I gritted my teeth and tried to make a choice. At this moment, a small red dot suddenly appeared on the front window, and before I had time to observe, I heard a muffled sound of "bang", and the two symmetrical glasses in the front row suddenly turned into a piece of white flowers, and a big hole appeared in each of them.
I was stunned, what is the situation? "It's a bullet!" The little man exclaimed, "Forget about them staring at us, and shooting?!" So saying, I quickly lowered my body, curled up in the back seat, waited a few seconds, but there was no other sound, I cautiously poked my head out and looked around, the sudden red dot had disappeared, but it did appear, and left two large broken holes in the glass, which was opening cans for the lions. Sure enough, there was a "pop, pop" sound in front, and the two lionesses had already reached the broken car window and slapped the almost shattered glass with their forepaws, still cracked, threatening to tear apart under their claws at any time. Perhaps there was no need to wait until then, when one of the fairy's furry paws had already reached through the big hole.
This is completely forbidden to stay in the car, but at this time, I suddenly felt a little relaxed, I don't have to choose anymore, now there is only one way to go. I checked the position of the male lion in a blink of an eye, and the lazy king, who was frightened by the sound of bullets or whether his female lion was full of confidence, had paced far away and lay down, waiting for the fresh meat to be delivered directly to his mouth like an emperor. At that moment, the little man suddenly patted me and whispered, "It's a good time to catch up with me when they reach into the car." "God Jesus Bodhisattva Daozu Land Lord blessed, I secretly prayed, just when the two adult female lions smashed the window of the car and leaned into the car to grab the front half of their bodies, quickly followed the little man, rolled into the trunk, and then used all his strength, jumped out of the trunk, and ran forward desperately.
There are about ten seconds left before the time bomb explodes!
A few dozen meters in front of the car is the small dirt slope with a cluster of bushes, if you can run there, you can first take advantage of the terrain to avoid the shock wave of the bomb, all the logic and reasoning is just a possibility, who knows what the real result will be, we will never think that we have been stared at by the other party, they even used guns, it seems that they want to kill us, this is completely inconsistent with the speculation just now, it doesn't make sense.
The two lions were half-stuck in the window of the car, and couldn't get out for a while, I followed the little man to bypass them and run frantically towards the dirt slope, but I caught a glimpse of another huge yellow shadow bursting up from the distant shadows, running in our direction, his mother's, there was an ambush, the zoo's non-domain lions, still retained primitive hunting skills.
I followed the little man and ran forward with all my might, and I was almost there, and I was still a few steps to the bushes. But behind me, there was already the sound of whirring wind and the heavy breath of death, and perhaps in the next second, the heavy body of the lion would press against my body, and the sharp claws would reach into my back; And the time for silent prayer is almost up. I gritted my teeth and flew desperately into the bushes, the rough branches and rough stones scraping and rubbing against my body like a scraped potato, and my whole body was about to be shattered. It was only after the cracking of clothes, the muffled grunt of animalistic fury, and the sound of a heavy weight falling to the ground that I felt the soreness and burning pain all over my body.
But the explosion did not come.
I struggled to get up, and saw the little man half-crouching behind me, and a smile appeared on his face, I followed his gaze, but found that the beast that was chasing us just now was lying under the dirt slope a few meters away from me, motionless, and the small car not far away had been filled with thick white smoke, and it was permeating the car along the gap, and there was a strange beauty in the moonlight.
"Sure enough." The little man muttered to himself, snorting softly from his nose.
The surprise and confusion did not last for a few seconds, and the male and two females who had taken the lead at first had already fanned around us again, and the male lion paced in front of the lion that had collapsed on the ground, sniffed lightly, and then suddenly raised his head and stared at us viciously, as if he wanted the horse to lead us to tear to pieces and swallow our bones. I was about to wave my hand and say that I didn't do it, when a roar of rage, along with the stench of beasts and the smell of death, came to my face, and I shuddered.
The little man asked me if I had any experience fighting wild beasts, and I had to honestly answer that I had no experience other than a few times when I had snatched a hairball with the family cat. The little man waved his hand and asked me to stand behind him, and then unscrewed the ether cap, and by this time the lion had already attacked first! One of the female lions jumped up suddenly, and pounced on the little man, so close to the distance, I felt that I must not be able to dodge, and was already about to sit on the ground, but I saw that the little man accurately splashed the ether in his hand to the lion's mouth and nose, and the air was suddenly filled with the disgusting smell, and the lion suddenly closed in mid-air, rolled on the ground, and stretched out his front paws to pat his nose, which seemed to be very awkward.
The little man handed me the dagger and the rest of the ether, and told me to quickly chop down some bushes, and then spill half a bottle of ether on them, while he himself took a flare gun and aimed it at the bushes, and just as the lions were about to attack a second time, he pulled the trigger.
With a loud "boom", the signal flare hit the messy bush branches and bounced a few times, the thousands of degrees of heat and the combustion effect of ether quickly ignited the branches, and the lions immediately retreated a few steps, but they were unwilling to leave and confront us.
"That's what you want," the little man said proudly, and quickly poured the remaining ether two meters outside the fire, opened a flat box that he had taken out of nowhere, took out two blue and black pills, stuffed two smaller blue pills into his nostrils, and gave me two more pills for me to stuff into my nose as well, and threw the black pills into the fire, and after a while, a light purple smoke spread out from the fire, slowly enveloping the area of more than ten square meters where we and the four lions were.
