I can keep you until the fifth watch [Unlimited] verse 209
"What is this?!" Song Quyou asked with a stunned face, "Are these trees next to us?" β
Mu Jinhai at the end of the team kept shooting and struggled to repel the branches that attacked them, and replied to Song Quyou: "Do you still need to ask?" Definitely! β
There were only four of them in the team, and only eight of them had weapons, and among the eight participants, the small pistols with only six rounds of ammunition in the trio of the Meiwa squad had almost negligible attack power, and they were surrounded by thousands of dense trees with no end in sight, so the first magazine of the five mercenaries was quickly emptied, and the defense team also had a hole.
"Whewββ!"
This cry of pain was made by Zheng Shu, he was kicked by Bu Jiuzhao in the crook of the knee, and knelt down directly on his knees, but he didn't scold Bu Jiuzhao, but was shocked into a cold sweat, because at the moment he knelt down, a branch was grazing the top of his head, and the speed was so fast that Zheng Shu could clearly hear the whistling wind blowing when it hit, so that he could completely imagine what kind of fate he would have ended up with his intestines rotten and his brains blooming if he hadn't been kicked by Bu Jiuzhao and kneeling down.
Finding that he had a frightening brush with death, Zheng Shu couldn't help but murmur in fear: "I fuck ......"
And after Bu Jiuzhao turned around and kicked Zheng Shu, he reminded Yi Yao in the back again: "Yi Yao, be careful of your lower left." β
"You two have really good eyesight." Zheng Shu rubbed his knees and slowly got up, "Do you have night vision eyes?" β
Strictly speaking, Bu Jiuzhao is the one who really has good eyesight, because his eyes are not mortal eyes at all, let alone see the attack trajectory of the Mummy Trees, as long as he wants, he can even see the safety camp and the Temple of the Lost Lands through the gaps in the rainforest, but this is definitely a foul, and it will not be allowed by the lock immortal.
Xie Yinxue was born with yin and yang eyes, and she could see many things that ordinary people couldn't see as soon as she opened her eyes.
Bian Yuchen, a person who purely relies on divination and speculation and does not pay attention to the cultivation of the body at all, cannot be like Xie Yinxue, he needs someone to protect, and the dead soldiers of the Bian family exist for this reason.
Although the old thirteen and the new thirteen have completely different looks and personalities, their mission is always the same, and their loyalty to Bian Yuchen is undoubted, so when they noticed that a branch took advantage of Bian Yuchen's replacement magazine to attack him from behind, but Bian Yuchen didn't have time to turn around and defend himself, the new thirteen didn't even hesitate for a moment, so he used his body as a shield to block this fatal blow for Bian Yuchen.
ββ¦β¦ A baker's dozen? β
Hearing the muffled snort behind him, Bian Yuchen was a little stunned.
"I'm fine, young master." Thirteen replied in the same voice as usual, and he drew his spear from the moaning tree, as if the muffled snort of the muffled had been made by the tree of mummies, and said, "My spear seems to kill these trees." β
"Really?" Zhan Meng asked, he couldn't see anything in the dark, so he had to turn to Bu Jiuzhao for help, "Step driver, can you help take a look?" β
Bu Jiuzhao told him: "It's true." β
Zhan Meng said excitedly: "Damn, you kill them quickly." β
Bu Jiuzhao opened his mouth to speak and stopped, and finally chose to remain silent.
Bian Yuchen also disagreed: "How can you kill only thirteen people?" There are still so many trees around, can he kill them? β
"That's right, we can't stay here any longer, the bullets will run out sooner or later!" Although Mu Yuji hadn't been attacked by the branches yet, she was worried about the safety of her younger brother Zheng Shu, and she wouldn't play with the lives of the two of them, so she hurriedly said to everyone, "I took one last look at the treasure map before dark, as long as I keep running ahead, I will definitely be able to find a safe camp!" β
They would have to wait at least a few hours from dark to dawn, and they couldn't spend the whole night staying here, and getting to the safety camp was the way to go.
"Yes, and the branches didn't attack all of them." Yun Qian also raised her voice and shouted, "They seem to have only targeted Bian Yuchen, Zheng Shu, and Song Quyou, the three of you!" β
In fact, this is indeed the case, just like the branch that Bu Jiuzhao just reminded Yi Yao of, it was actually not going around from the bottom left to sneak attack Yi Yao, but to sneak through the attack range of Yi Yao, Mu Jinhai and You Lan, and kill Zheng Shu who was protected in the center of the team.
As soon as Zhan Meng heard Yun Qian's analysis, he rushed forward, stopped in front of Song Quyou and Bian Yuchen and shouted, "Okay, then let's change our position, surround the three of them in the middle, and run forward together!" β
The more chaotic and urgent the situation, the easier it is for people to conform to the crowd, not to mention that what Zhan Meng said is also very reasonable, Fang Cai Bian Yuchen and Song Quyou stood in front and shot to protect them, and now it is their turn to protect the two, Mu Yuji, Yun Qian, Ying Yiling and others did not hesitate, obediently and quickly changed positions, and ran forward together after Zhan Meng shouted "run".
Needless to say, the thirteen were guarding Bian Yuchen's side from beginning to end, and he didn't forget to whisper when he escaped: "Young master, stand behind me, be careful." β
After running like this for about five minutes, they suddenly saw a lonely silver moon hanging high in the skyβin the mummy forest, they could not see the moon, because the trees were too high, and the leaves in the canopy were so dense that they obscured all the light.
Therefore, the presence of the moon at this moment means that there must be a clearing without trees under the moon.
You Lan looked at the round of Qingyue, and the surprise in her eyes was about to bloom: "The safety camp has arrived!" β
Everyone quickened their pace and ran out of the mummy forest with all their might, and although their bodies ached as they rolled to the stiff ground, their hearts were filled with the joy of the rest of their lives.
Beyond the high forest, the moonlight shone like frost, falling and shining in a corner, so that they could see the surrounding scenery more or less clearly without any lighting tools.
"Oh my god, I finally got out." Zhan Meng slumped on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to catch a glimpse of the bulging thing beside him, and said happily, "There is also a pyre here, who is the fire primer?" Take it out and see if you can light it. β
Yun Qian replied: "The fire primer is here, you gather some dried leaves and come over to make a fire." β
Hearing this, Mu Jinhai and Yi Yao hurriedly turned out some dry dead leaves on the ground far away from the mummy forest and handed them to Yun Qian, and the moment they saw the warm and bright firelight rising, the emotion in their hearts was really indescribable, and they were just about to smile, but they suddenly froze when they saw the thirteen who were covered in blood.
Because Thirteen wasn't as fine as he said he was.
In the center of his chest was a branch cut by a spear, and the blood flowed so much that the white Heaton on his body was almost completely red, and the branch was still squirming into his chest like a life, Bian Yuchen reached out and wanted to pull it out, but a little exertion would make Thirteen feel uncontrollable pain and tremble.
Zhan Meng tilted his head a little reluctantly: "Let's give him a good time." β
"I can't die yet...... Thirteen wasn't afraid of death, but he felt that he wasn't yet ready to die, and gasped and labored, "I'm dead...... You won't have anyone to use this spear......"
"No, you can die."
Bu Jiuzhao lowered his eyes and stared at him, his expression was indifferent, and his words were also ruthless: "If you die, the people in the team can inherit and use your things, otherwise the copy will not be able to continue." β
This may be just an inference to others, but Bu Jiuzhao must be true.
Xie Yinxue knew, but others didn't know, and they couldn't help but be ruthless after seeing a thirteen-year-old Mu Yuji: "What you said is just a guess, what if it's not?" Isn't Liu Buhua a doctor? Let him see if Thirteen can be saved? β
And the protagonist Thirteen, who was discussed by them, only looked at Bian Yuchen, waiting for his decision - after all, people like them can't even decide life and death by themselves.
Bian Yuchen looked back at Thirteen, and he saw the desire to die in the eyes of the young man.
That kind of desire was so strong that more than Bian Yuchen could see it, so much so that Mu Yuji, who was still begging Liu Buhua to save him, stopped talking, and only the emotions in Bian Yuchen's eyes could no one understand.
In the end, Bian Yuchen turned his head and said to Liu Buhua: "Liu Buhua, you can help take a look at Thirteen." β
"Okay, I'll be right here." Liu Buhua knelt beside Thirteen with the medical kit in her arms, looked up and down the branches on his chest and said, "To save him, you have to pull this thing out first, right?" β
Bian Yuchen shook his head: "I tried, but I can't pull it out, he will be in a lot of pain, and he will probably die if he pulls it out forcibly." β
Liu Buhua scratched his head trickily: "If you can't pull it out, then I'll save it according to my idea?" β
"Hmm." Bian Yuchen responded, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "If you can't save it...... Just let him go. β
After listening to Bian Yuchen's answer, Liu Buhua lowered his head and rummaged through the bottles and cans in the medical box that others couldn't understand, and after a while, he took out a disposable injection tube, took out a small bottle of purple potion, and then used a needle to empty the potion, and aimed at the vein at the wrist joint of the thirteen arms and injected the medicine into it.
During this period, Liu Buhua was embarrassed to apologize to Thirteen: "Thirteen, I don't know if your veins are inserted, if it's uncomfortable, you can bear it." β
Thirteen has already breathed more and less air due to excessive blood loss, and he doesn't even have the strength to answer Liu Buhua, so why would he care about the slight pain in his arm that can't be compared with his chest?
As a result, the potion in the needle tube was only halfway pushed, and Thirteen suddenly let out a miserable scream.
Chapter 197
Everyone thought it was Thirteen screaming, but when they listened carefully, they found that the sharp and piercing howl was actually emitted by the branch on Thirteen's chest.
As the potion, the screams of pain from the branches became more and more poignant, and it was not long before the branches wriggled themselves out of the thirteen wounds, and after falling to the ground, they plunged into the mud, absorbing the blood brought out of the thirteen's bodies and quickly taking root and sprouting, and there was a tendency to grow into a new tree.
"What about spears?" Seeing this, Zhan Meng shouted nervously, "Help Thirteen up and let him tie this tree." β
However, Thirteen didn't need him to say much, seeing this, he just fought his last breath, gritted his teeth and straightened up, and threw the spear at the branch with all his might, so that it was completely dead and lifeless.
After doing all this, Thirteen finally felt at ease, and fell back with his eyes closed. But his breathing was steady, and the wound on his chest was gradually healing at a visible rate, except that his face was still a little pale due to heavy bleeding, and he looked as if he was asleep, and nothing serious.
"Yes, Brother Pink." Zhan Meng didn't remember Liu Buhua's name very well, only his pink hair, "What potion did you give him, so effective?" β
Liu Buhua stood in the night, her slender figure standing as tall and reliable as green bamboo, and said, "Poison." β
Zhan Meng laughed three times: "Hahaha, Brother Fan, you are really joking." β
"No, I'm not kidding you, it's that this potion really has poison written on it."
Liu Buhua saw that Zhan Meng didn't believe it, so he took out the empty bottle of the medicine to show him, Zhan Meng looked at it, and found that the empty bottle of medicine was really painted with a skull pattern, probably because he was afraid that the user would take it wrong, so there were eye-catching red letters under the skull pattern: highly toxic, use with caution.
But Liu Buhua has his own set of treatment ideas, and he doesn't act according to common sense: "The main thing is that I see that the branch has been sucking his blood, and I can't pull it out, so I want to give Thirteen some poison and make his blood poisonous, so won't the branch let him go?" It turns out that I was right, and you don't have to worry, I'll inject the antidote to Thirteen right now. β
Jamon: "......"
It seems that Thirteen did not die because Liu Buhua had good medical skills, but because Thirteen had a big life.
Bian Yuchen sighed helplessly: "That's it, it doesn't matter how the treatment process is, the most important thing is that Thirteen survives." β
At this point, tonight's crisis was finally temporarily lifted, but Song Quyou still had palpitations, frightened, hugged himself and whispered: "These trees are like people at night, they will cry when they are injured, you say, will they become people?" β
"Quite possibly." Yi Yao also said with concern, "Otherwise, why would this place be called the Mummy Forest?" β
Once the branch in the mummy forest pierces the human body, there will be almost no way to pull it out, if there is no poison of willow flowers, the branch will not leave Thirteen's body at all, it will be buried deep in the wound in Thirteen's chest, sucking his blood as its own nutrients, and finally turning Thirteen into a dry corpse that will be annihilated in the wind and dirt over time, and he will become a towering tree full of life in this mummy forest.
Everyone looked at the vast forest, and couldn't imagine how many people would have to die to grow into such a dense forest.
"That's right." Song Quyou still didn't understand a little, pointing to himself, Zheng Shu and Bian Yuchen and asking, "Why did those branches only attack the three of us?" β
Yi Yao thought for a while and said, "They seem to be very sensitive to blood, maybe it's because you were bitten by mosquitoes and have wounds on your body that you were targeted." β
Zheng Shu was speechless: "With such a big wound, they can also smell blood?" β
What if there is a big wound?
"We'll have to pay attention when we go tomorrow, don't let the wounds on our bodies." Mu Yuji solemnly told everyone, "No matter how small the wound is, it will not work." β
After hearing this, Mu Jinhai said to Liu Buhua: "I don't care if the mosquito repellent water will turn yellow after use, give me a little before entering the forest tomorrow, I don't want to be bitten by mosquitoes." β
You Lan also raised her hand and approached: "I want it too!" β
"Hey, come and have a lookβ"
When several of them scrambled to reserve mosquito repellent water, Zhan Meng, who was holding a torch and turning around the clearing, suddenly beckoned everyone to come over: "There are a few unused tents here, and they seem to be in good condition." β
Yun Qian picked up one casually and opened it to check: "There are no holes, it is indeed good." β
"There are seven of them, let's divide one for each of them." Ying Yiling was wearing a small suspender belt and a leaky hollow knitted jacket, and was already rubbing his arms and stomping his feet, "It's quite windy here in the open space, and it's quite cold if you don't sleep in a tent at night." β
There are only four girls, and the two of them are divided, and the remaining eight men are also divided.
Bian Yuchen was originally going to have a tent with Thirteen, but Liu Buhua said: "Let Thirteen sleep with me tonight, I can watch him well, if there is any situation, it is convenient to treat, if you don't worry, the three of us can be squeezed." β
"No, you don't." Hearing this, Bian Yuchen agreed, "Just share a tent with you." β
He ended up in a tent with Zhan Meng, Yi Yao and You Lan together, and the rest of Mu Jinhai and Zheng Shu teamed up.
Zheng Shu really wanted to join Bu Jiuzhao and Xie Yinxue to squeeze together, but Bu Jiuzhao and Xie Yinxue didn't agree, so he could only give up this idea.
After dividing the tents, Jamon said, "The night watchman must also arrange it." β
Xie Yinxue opened her lips at the right time and said, "I'll guard it." β
Zhan Meng thought that Xie Yinxue meant that he would be the first night watchman, so he agreed without much thought: "Well, you will keep watch for an hour first, and then change ......"
Before Jamon could finish speaking, the young man interrupted him and said, "No, I'll keep watch all night." β
"Huh?"
Zhan Meng looked at Xie Yinxue in surprise, the slender body of the young man looked weak, and his body was so white that there was no blood, even paler than the seriously injured thirteen, Zhan Meng usually looked at him, and always felt that Xie Yinxue was as thin and thin as the flower branches that were bent by the frost and snow in the real world at this moment.
The long golden hair and the holy priesthood not only gave him a layer of indesecration, but also gave him a little more alienation and coldness that was incompatible with the mortal world, as if he was not born to belong to the world, and should be as unattainable as the lonely moon above the heavenly firmament.
