my stealth fighter

Chapter 344 Marks
"Wang...Wang Defa?"

The next morning, when the rain cleared, Ron saw the Pegasus that Jiang Chanji pulled out from the tent, and he was immediately dumbfounded, and the classic English version of it popped out of his mouth.

He thought what he had seen and heard in the Romanian forest was surreal enough, but when he saw Frigga slowly spread her wings and spread the moisture between them to the sun, he couldn't believe his eyes .

"What's the matter? Is it a horse?" Arabella heard Frigga's snort and the sound of hooves stomping on the ground. She knew that there was a horse not far ahead, but she didn't understand why a horse made Ron so big. reaction.

"It's... a horse, but... my God, the horse... it's got huge swan wings!" Ron stammered.

"what?"

Arabella was also stunned.

Of course, she was born blind and could not "see" horses and swans. She understands that there are no more than two shapes of things. She outlines the general shape of objects through echoes, and fills in the details of objects in her mind through touch.

She has had close contact with horses and knows what horses look like. Although she has never been in contact with swans, the birds are basically the same. As long as she knows what a bird looks like, she can understand most of the other birds through verbal descriptions.

Echoes have their limitations, and even bats that specialize in Echoes will occasionally bump into obstacles in flight, and when Frigga folds its wings, the wings fold up against its body, and Echoes can't do anything about it.

"Am I dreaming now?"

Ron pinched his thigh. He had seen some animals in the forest that looked like supernatural beings, but the appearance of those animals would not be too extreme, and there would never be any obvious cross-species variation.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thankful that he came to the East, just seeing this Pegasus was enough to brag in bars for several years, and maybe someone else would pay for him.

Last night, everyone rested in their respective tents. Before going to bed, everyone discussed whether to take turns on duty. Jiang Chanji argued that it was unnecessary. Even if there were dangerous people in the forest, the chances of her leaving the forest in this direction were very low. A little bit of a slim chance to waste physical strength and energy, just assign the night duty task to the security guard.

The guards are equipped with thermal imaging cameras that will see any animals or humans coming out of the woods and approaching the village, but thermal imaging cameras cannot penetrate trees, so they are useless in finding survivors.

Anyway, if an enemy approached quietly, Squid Whiskers would definitely warn them, and it would not be too late to wake everyone up.

Everyone thought it made sense, so they rested in peace, and slept until morning without incident.

"Chan Ji, can I touch this Pegasus?" Arabella asked.

Jiang Chanji was grooming Frigga, who was poking his head into the bucket to eat feed.

He temporarily stopped, looked into Arabella's gray eyes, and said worriedly: "Frigga has a bad temper, you can touch it, but you'd better be careful."

"It's okay, most animals are friendly to me." She walked over with a smile, reached out and touched Frigg's back, and said, "Hi, your name is Frigg, right? My name is Arabella."

Frigga basically doesn't lie to people other than Jiang Chanji, and she doesn't like strangers to touch her. She often kicks her nose and snorts as a threat, but a strange thing happened. It has clearly noticed that Arabella Seeing her hand getting closer and closer to him, she didn't have the slightest intention of resisting or avoiding, and stood meekly on the spot.

"Such wide wings..."

Her hand touched its back first, her fingers sank into the soft curly hair, and then touched its wings, from the root of the wing along the outline of the feather bone to a position beyond her reach, feeling completely different from horse hair feathers.

Frigga eats and feeds quietly, and occasionally even rubs her hands with her neck when she raises her head.

"What's going on here? Was Frigga bought off?" Qian Yang came out of the tent yawning, and said in amazement, "Or did Frigga convert to Christianity?"

Among the people present, only Ron knew that his pet dog Gavin would be soothed by Arabella's words. Although this Pegasus is magical, it is still an animal that is governed by emotions. It sent a message of reassurance, taking away the defensiveness it had on her.

It's a pity that Arabella can't see, otherwise she should be able to ride Frigga soaring through the sky alone.

"Is this Pegasus born like this?" She asked.

"That's not true." Jiang Chanji handed her the comb, "Would you like to try combing it?"

Arabella happily took over the comb, and combed the hair continuously while listening to Jiang Chanji's story of how Frigga was born in Mei Yibai's hands.

"In the Gospel of John, when Moses and Aaron went to find Pharaoh, Pharaoh didn't believe that the ten plagues would happen. Moses raised his staff according to God's command, and the disaster came. However, when it comes to the lice plague, the wizard is helpless, saying, 'This is the means of God'." Arabella said, "Mei Yibai is only equivalent to a wizard, although he is very powerful, but manpower is limited. Trying to replace God in vain will surely end in complete failure."

She quoted scriptures and talked eloquently. No matter what everyone thinks, listening to her talk is a kind of enjoyment in itself.

After breakfast, everyone gathered together to plan today's search and rescue route.

……

When they woke up in the morning, Catherine and No. 33 were still hungry. They didn’t roast the meat of the black goat in the end, because they saw it eating human bones with their own eyes, and it was impossible to eat its meat anyway. , otherwise it feels like eating people indirectly.

"I don't know where the goats went yesterday, otherwise I really want to kill one and eat it." No. 33 rubbed his belly regretfully, and each carried a wooden barrel for rainwater they made with Catherine. Plug it so that precious rainwater doesn't spill out.

After waking up early in the morning, they climbed up the ridge as planned, and looked at it from a high place. Their hearts suddenly became cold, because they were surrounded by an endless sea of ​​trees, all directions were almost the same, and they couldn't see which way they could get out of. forest.

Just pick a direction and just walk away?
If they could see the river, they could walk along it, and they would definitely be able to get out without fear of lack of water, but there was not even a puddle in sight.

It took a lot of physical effort to climb the ridge, and the only useful information I got was that this place was not close to the edge of the forest.

They have experienced water shortage and thirst, and they cannot expect the rain to come again in time. If they cannot find other water sources before the rainwater they carry is exhausted, the situation will be very dangerous. Catherine refuses to drink raw blood, and No. 33 does not think too much about it. Ru Mao drinks blood.

They knew in their hearts that the search range of the helicopter did not include their place, so it was impossible to count on the rescue team to rescue them. The only way to get out of trouble now was to go to the position where the helicopter was hovering and take the initiative to find the rescue team.

They observed yesterday that the helicopter came from the southeast and flew northwest, and vice versa on the return trip.

Northwest was the direction the plane would continue to glide after they parachuted, and most of the wreckage should have landed there.

Catherine didn't want to just give up chasing Kali and Lilith, and let the tiger go back to the mountain. There would be endless troubles, but the forest was so vast, where could she find them?

Yesterday was a bit overwhelmed by thirst and unable to get over the grief of the death of her sisters. She slept and calmed down. She realized that impulse will not help. The sisters have returned to heaven, and the burden of revenge falls on her shoulders. In addition to the old hatred of her parents, she added a new hatred. It would be fine if she was defeated and died, but what happened to dying of thirst in the forest?The sisters desperately rescued each other, was it to make her angry?She couldn't let her sisters die worthless.

And Arabella, my sister is grown up now and doesn't need her care much, but if she dies like this, my sister will be very sad.

When she sneaked out to Mount Ararat alone, Arabella thought she had abandoned herself, and cried so heartbrokenly. Later, she promised and swore to her younger sister that she would never abandon her younger sister. Could it be that she is going to violate her now? Holy oath?
Therefore, when No. 33 proposed to go northwest, Catherine nodded silently without objecting.

Whether it's revenge or mission, you have to survive first.

"What are you doing?" Catherine asked when she noticed that No. 33 was scratching the stone with its horns while resting.

"make a mark."

No. 33 used horns to carve an arrow shape on a relatively flat stone surface, "Now that we have decided on the direction, it's time to start. If someone finds this place, they will know which way we are going when they see the arrow."

The horns are very sharp, and it is effortless to carve on the stone. With a whiff of stone chips and dust falling, a big arrow is carved, and a "33" indicating her identity is written next to the arrow.

Catherine didn't say anything, but her expression clearly said: Will someone really find this place?

There's no platform on the ridge for a helicopter landing, so expect someone to hike through the forest and just come here?
Number 33 also knows that the chances are slim, but if you don't give yourself some hope, how can you persevere?

"Yes, someone will find it."

She meant to refer to her colleagues, but Jiang Chanji, Chen Yiyi, Zixuan, Xiaosui, Qianyang and Aurora first came to mind.

Will they come to her after hearing the news of the plane crash?

She has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding thinking about this issue, and she doesn't want to assume this possibility, because to put it bluntly, Jiang Chanji and the others have nothing to do with her, they don't owe her anything, she is an annoying watcher, they can get rid of her, It's too late to be happy, why ask for trouble and come to her?
By not having hope, you can avoid disappointment.

A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth—they must be very happy now, finally getting rid of her, but why should she make them happy?When she walked out of the forest and reappeared in front of them, she had to appreciate their disappointment!

Thinking of Jiang Chanji's possible elongated bitter face, she was secretly proud. If she couldn't go back, he would definitely eat all the bean paste buns by himself.

But the problem is that the ninja colleagues didn't know that she boarded the flight under a pseudonym. There were only two people who knew, one was Catherine next to him, and the other was Jiang Chanji, and he didn't know the secret connection of the ninjas Way.

So will anyone really find it here?
Catherine was slightly comforted by her answer, but her own mood gradually became depressed.

It would be great if... I could come and find her.

The two of them climbed over the ridge, re-entered the forest, and headed northwest.

As No. 33 walked, he carved marks on the tree trunks he passed by.

……

In the outpost camp, two helicopters took off one after another. Ron expressed that he was willing to do his part. He knew the forest better and might be able to help. Of course, everyone would not reject his kindness, so he and Gavin boarded the one of them.

The runway was vacated, and Jiang Chanji turned over and rode on Frigga, also planning to set off.

"Chan Ji, can you let me go with you?" Arabella stroked Frigg's mane and raised her gray eyes to look at him.

Arabella is slender and slender, Frigga does not resist her, so it is difficult to reject her with objective reasons, Jiang Chanji can understand her eagerness to find her own sister and sisters, if it is him, He couldn't sit still.

Since she was looking at him, since her eyes are invisible, it is not difficult to find a reason to lie to her, but how to put it, her expression and voice made him feel that lying to her is a heinous act for no reason, even if It is a false prevarication that makes people feel guilty.

It is also a request to share a Pegasus. Leila's tone was annoying before, and Arabella was unbearable to refuse. In addition to the legitimacy and necessity of the request itself, the temperament and character of the two of them also have great differences. difference.

"Frigga didn't carry two people, so I can't guarantee that I can sit comfortably." He reminded, which was equivalent to agreeing to her request.

"Ah, it's okay, I can bear it no matter how uncomfortable it is." Arabella smiled happily. Only then did she reveal her side as a little girl, not just a holy nun.

Unlike her heroic sister Catherine, Arabella is pitiful and blind. Even though Frigga is a shorter Icelandic horse, it is difficult for her to ride on the horse's back with her own strength.

Jiang Chanji asked the security guard to bring a stool, and then asked Arabella to stand on the stool, then straddle the horse, and sit behind him.

She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and said excitedly, "I'm ready."

"Well, you must not let go of your hands after takeoff, or you may be in danger." Jiang Chanji moved forward to give her a little more space.

"Well, I remember." She nodded, her forehead pressed against his back.

"Frigga, let's go! Go to yesterday's place."

He patted Frigga's neck, and it let out a long hiss. It took a slightly longer run-up distance than usual, took off under the gust of wind, and flew to the location where the search was interrupted yesterday based on its memory.
