Chapter 22: Escape from the Encirclement
Having eaten and drunk, I took a closer look at the herds of wild boars that were hunting us under the trees, and suddenly noticed that these wild boars seemed to be different from the ordinary wild boars we usually saw in zoos and other forests.
Their fangs are sharp and oddly long, and they don't rush backwards, but diagonally in front of their bodies, a bit like the tusks of wild elephants, and at first glance they look more like miniature mammoths.
I asked Fong, "How can the fangs of these wild boars be like this?" ”
Ah Fang glanced at it and said, "This is more lethal!" These species may not be recent, and the genes of these guys should be the most primitive kind! ”
"How so?" Aichen asked.
"Now the tusks of wild boars are basically useless, because there are fewer predators mainly wild boars, and the function of fangs for defensive warfare is disappearing, except for the use of mate selection wars between their kind, there is basically no other use. So in the process of evolution, the fangs of wild boars gradually lost their aggressiveness. Look at the fangs under the trees, which are sharp and long, and they are pointing forward, and these fangs are probably only found in underground fossils and museums now! Ah Fang said.
I nodded, and saw that the boar hair below stood on its back, a bit like the spines of a hedgehog, and the four pigs had short, thick legs and pointed hooves; Just looking at the lower half of the body, there is an illusion of a pangolin.
They surround us in three circles on the left and three circles on the right like a gossip array, which is probably rare in comic books.
If we stay in this tree all the time, the most fearful thing is that the elusive monster and ugly monkey will gather here.
The stems of the trees above the dense leaves can't bear our weight, but they are more than enough to bear their weight, and with their jumping and arm length, it's easy to move from one tree to another.
I asked Ah Fang, "How long is the noose you brought this time?" ”
"Ten meters, what's wrong?" Fong replied.
I visually surveyed the trees around us, and the nearest one was nearly twenty meters long.
I shouted at Quanzi, "Quanzi, can you snipe that pig king?" ”
Quanzi said, "I'm sniping, don't talk!" ”
Bah, you're sniping yours, what's the matter with me. I secretly cursed back in my heart.
"Strange!" Jeonko didn't know if he was talking to us or talking to himself, "Why is it gone?" As soon as he finished speaking, there was an "oops"! Then I didn't know if it was him and Lao Wu's gunshots, and there were several "pops".
I thought to myself that the wild boar king is estimated to be dead now, and Quanzi is known as the "king of guns", and his sniper skills are definitely not bragging. Now I have fired a few shots in a row, and the pig will be half-crippled if he doesn't die.
I hurriedly asked the fifth: "Five, how is it?" ”
"Ran!" Lao Wu's tone was obviously unhappy, "Quanzi was also scratched by it with a claw!" "When did I hear it, when did the wild boar run up to the tree?
Ai Qin said, "Ah, you were just beating that child? ”
It dawned on me that it turned out that it wasn't the main master below who had been fighting for a long time.
Their indiscriminate beating disturbed the wild boars holding on below, and they began to act instantly when they "hummed" and screamed.
I was worried about whether these guys would dig up our roots, but as I expected, they dug up our tree next, and I saw seven or eight wild boars digging up the ground around our giant tree.
Although the tree we are currently staying in is more than one meter in diameter, it can't withstand so many wild boars digging day and night! What to do? And now I glanced at a tree next to me, and a bold idea came to my mind.
Last time in the snake cave, I used a small grenade to blow the snake king in two, but the four of us were also overturned by the air wave and suffered a big loss. This time we learned to be obedient, and only brought some less powerful directional grenades, whose explosion diameter is only 5 meters, but it will form a deep crater in the ground, a bit like an old-fashioned landmine, we call it a small steamed bun.
My idea was to use five meters as the center of the circle and make a semi-circle projection, and this time the standard configuration for each of us was to carry four per person.
Then if one person's amount is used well, it can reach another tree. I took out a small steamed bun and told Ah Fang and Ai Qin about my specific thoughts, but before I could finish speaking, Ah Fang rejected me.
Ah Fang said: "No, our focus now is not to shift from the tree, but to break through this herd of pigs to the fifth and continue to go down!" ”
Ai Qin echoed: "Ah Fang is right, then the remaining four people must have gone deeper here, we will bypass them and continue to search, there is no need to take such a big risk!" ”
Ah Fang didn't seem to be worried at all about the wild boar cutting our roots below, glanced at the sky and continued: "It's so dark, the visibility in the woods is already very low, and the action can't be carried out well, isn't it too dangerous for us to venture in like this?" ”
I listened to the two of them talk for a long time, but none of them worked.
The wild boars below are digging at our roots, and we are talking nonsense from above. Still, as a team, I felt the need to listen to all the comments and nagging.
At this time, Quanzi on the side said slowly: "I think what Dezi said is very reasonable, you move to the tree next to you first, the trees next to it are denser, you can move from the tree." Plus there's a noose, so it shouldn't be a big problem! ”
Listening to the words of the whole child, such a picture suddenly appeared in my mind, the five of us wearing big pants, holding a big rattan and swinging around the tree, suddenly appeared five words "ape search and rescue team".
After synthesizing the opinions around me, in the end, my opinion is more reliable. But it was easier said than done, and I glanced at the nearest tree, which was so dense with foliage that I couldn't see what was inside.
At this time, I suddenly realized that if I ran past and just got up the tree, and the ugly monkey on it did not shake my hand with me, but gave me a paw, then I would not die very unjustly.
Thinking of this, I simply don't do it, and I don't stop it, so I'll give him a shuttle first.
I fired a half-magazine bullet at a nearby tree, only to see a commotion in the branches and leaves, and then an ugly monkey fell from the bushes.
I couldn't help but be happy when I saw it clearly, this time the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, but I didn't expect a shot directly to hit its head, and half of the corpse that fell to the ground was gone, it turned out that they were not gods and still beat to death.
Seeing this scene, Ai Qin couldn't help but applaud: "Good fight, Dezi!" How do you know there's an ugly monkey in there? ”
I laughed and joked, "Didn't I know I had clairglass?" After saying that, I stared at her chest, and Ai Qin hurriedly blocked it with a gun, "Don't look at it!" ”
Ah Fang said: "I think we should throw a small steamed bun to the tree first, and clean up the place where we settled first!" ”
As soon as I heard it, I felt that what Ah Fang said was very reasonable, so I took out a small steamed bun and threw it at the tree, only to hear a "boom", and suddenly the leaves and branches flew all over the sky, and the wild boars below were also startled by the sudden explosion, and then ran to the forest next to them without looking back.
We had no idea that there would be such a surprise in this explosion. We hurriedly jumped off the tree and began to run frantically in the direction of the fifth child and the whole child, who were also waiting for us on the side of the tree at the moment.
The five of them met without saying a word, and plunged into the dense forest, trying to stay as far away as possible from the wild boars.
It was already completely dark in the jungle, so we turned on the wolf's eye flashlight and headlight and continued to walk deeper in the jungle.
It's easy to get lost in the forest at night, because we don't know which direction the four students are going in in the dense forest, and now we can only rely on our own instincts to move forward.
In fact, our situation at this time is similar to the four students who came in earlier, you can imagine: behind you there is a group of fierce boars chasing after you, you have stepped into the dense forest as a last resort, you panic, you can only run wherever you want to run for your life! At this time, I had a flash of inspiration, yes, run wherever it is easy to run!
I hurriedly said to them, "Look around, where are the trees scarce and the roads are flat?" ”
Although the wolf's eyes shine far away, there are too many trees in this dense forest, and they can't have the desired effect at all. The five of us carefully searched around, hoping to find some clues from the surrounding environment, and finally found that it was a waste of time, and the surrounding environment was the same, either grass or trees. If this continues, even if we have the most advanced satellite navigation, we will get lost.
The best thing to do at the moment is for us to find a place to stay here for one night and wait until dawn tomorrow before we go. Otherwise, let alone looking for those students, it would be a big question whether we could get out alive. Alas~ Grieved those four children for one more night.
Having said that, we had no choice but to camp here, because it was too close to the boar's nest, and the trees around us were densely populated, and the ugly monkeys on the trees were unsure when they would suddenly kill them. But there's no better way to do it now, and if we keep going, we're going to get lost.
Lao Wu said: "Let's rest here first, don't set up a tent!" Sleeping on it with the sleeping bag open can add a little bit and we can react quickly if a wild boar hits. ”
Quanzi said, "I think it's good to do this, girls sleep, we boys stand guard!" ”
"Why!" Ah Fang immediately disagreed, "We all train the same, why do you engage in sexism when you perform tasks!" ”
Ai Qin also agreed, so that all five of us did not feel sleepy, lit a small bonfire, and the five of us hurried to replenish food and water.
At this moment, only a "boom" was heard, and a sound similar to a fire gun suddenly came from the forest.
