154 Lookout Tower
Carly and Daria reacted quickly, dragging the struggling Jesse into the woods.
Ethan gritted his teeth and fired the last two bullets out of the nest with rage.
The two men with bows and arrows were killed one after another.
Every time a gunshot rang out, there was always a person's head exploding.
Even these people were intellectually retarded, and they felt the horror, and they were frightened and fell to the ground.
Ethan also took advantage of this opportunity and ran up the hillside.
He was extremely fast, and in a few moments, he ran to the front of the woods.
As he entered the woods, Ethan stopped and looked down the hillside, where the cannibal mountain people lying on the ground were whipped with the long whip in his hand by the furious man.
Ethan opened the nest of the python revolver, slapped the cartridge casings off, and took three bullets out of his pocket and stuffed them in.
He closed the nest, pulled his neck at the strong, weed-haired man, thrust his pistol back into his waist, and turned and burrowed into the woods.
In the afternoon, the sun was fierce, but the woods were shady.
In the shady woods, a few people were sweating profusely.
Climb over the dirt slope and struggle over the boulders.
It wasn't until a long time later that a few people stopped.
Ethan stood beside a rock, looking out the way he came, and the pursuers were long gone.
Along the way, he used his physical strength to harass his pursuers twice, successfully slowing them down, and then quickly catching up with several of Daria's men.
After two hours of walking through the mountains, everyone except him had exhausted their strength and had to stop and rest.
Jesse and Carly both had their backs against the rock, gasping for air with blank expressions.
Looking at the two of them, Daria pulled Ethan's trouser leg worriedly.
Ethan turned around and jumped off the rock.
He didn't know how to comfort these two people, a good trip, as a result, all three companions died, and the two of them were already in a very good quality before they collapsed.
He sighed, unhooked his backpack from his back, and pulled out the whiskey inside.
Ethan unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip of wine, handed it to Carly, and said:
"To Francine, Evan and Scott, I hope they can find their own peace."
Carly took the bottle, closed her eyes and took a big sip.
"To Francine, Evan and Scott."
The wine bottle circled, and the faces of the two of them finally regained some vitality.
Ethan took out the food in his backpack and divided it among several people.
After eating and resting for a while, Ethan looked at his watch.
"It's not too early, we're going to go."
Carly muttered, "Can we go there?" ”
There are tall trees all around, and the woods seem to be endless, and I don't know when it will end.
"We need to figure out where we are." Ethan looked up.
Jesse stood up, she pulled Carly up hard, gritted her teeth and said:
"Go to the ridgeline, the view from above is the best, maybe you can see the road or the town, as long as there is a direction, we can escape, we have to avenge Scott and them."
Carly nodded, and she said with a serious face:
"We must get out, and those bastards must be punished."
"Definitely."
Daria also stood up at this time, reaching out to put her arms around the two of them.
"What are you waiting for?"
Jesse saw Ethan standing aside and waved at him.
"Come on here, give us girls some strength."
The corners of Ethan's mouth curled, and he stretched out his arms to hug the three of them tightly.
Several people encouraged each other and continued to move towards the mountain.
Along the way, Ethan picked up a few dead branches, chopped them a few times, and made them into simple trekking poles.
With the help of the tool, they sped up a few more points.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Ethan, who was walking in the front, stopped, and Daria, who was walking behind him, didn't pay attention and hit him head-on.
Carly walked behind her, quickly holding Daria steady.
"What's wrong?"
Jesse hurriedly asked in a low voice.
Ethan raised his simple trekking pole high and pointed forward.
Behind the treetops ahead, a tall watchtower appeared.
The watchtower has a log frame with a large wooden platform on top and a log cabin on top.
Everyone was overjoyed and ran forward in high spirits.
Underneath the log-framed watchtower, Daria paused, looking disappointedly at the vine-entangled wooden ladder.
"I don't think there's going to be anyone up there, and it looks like no one has been here in a long time."
Ethan stepped forward, "It's okay, maybe there's a radio on it, and it's okay to have supplies." ”
He grabbed the ladder and shook his hands vigorously a few times.
The ladder is not moved, and it looks unusually firm.
Jesse said expectantly, "This is the highest point in the neighborhood, and you may be able to see the road." ”
Ethan reached out and grabbed the wooden ladder bar and climbed up first.
This lookout is six or seven stories high, about twenty meters high.
A mountain breeze blew, as if he felt the watchtower swaying with the mountain wind, and he knew that the wooden ladder under his feet was stable enough, but his feet were still weak.
Ethan grabbed the wooden ladder with his hand and looked down.
Daria, Carly, and Jesse climbed the wooden ladder in turn, following him closely.
All three of them were wearing tight vests, and from their own point of view, the scenery was unique.
"Hurry up, I'll take it off and show it to you."
Daria was a little afraid of heights, and she hurriedly urged.
Carly chuckled and straightened her chest.
Ethan smiled sheepishly and continued to climb up.
The tops of the trees next to him were already parallel to him, and Ethan went a few meters further up to the bottom of the wooden platform.
In this place, a small aisle was laid with wooden planks, and a small wooden door was installed on it from the aisle to the middle of the bottom of the wooden platform.
Ethan looked closely, and there was a little trace of smoke and fire on it, and the sliding wooden door could be opened from top to bottom.
Ethan pushed open the wooden door and flipped over.
Above the wooden platform was a small wooden house, the glass of the window had been torn in, and the mountain breeze poured in, blowing the paper on the table beside it.
There was a radio station on the table, and an axe was chiseled into it.
He walked over and pulled the axe with all his might, and the parts inside the radio had been split in two by the axe.
Footsteps sounded next to him, and Jesse walked up to him.
She glanced at the radio and said helplessly: "I bet a hundred dollars with you, this thing must be broken." ”
Ethan shrugged his shoulders and handed her the axe, then walked to the side, where Carly and Daria were standing by the window, peering out into the distance.
Daria turned her head, then leaned on his shoulder.
Carly also silently put her arms around Ethan at this time, and whispered:
"We're all going to die."
Looking out of the window, everywhere you look, there are mountains and forests, and there is no sign of human activity.
