survival in the wilderness

Chapter 86
Lin Yan didn't insist on vigil either, her body really couldn't hold on.

At night, I can't hold back my body's instincts and feel drowsy.

This night, Hei Tu divided the people into two halves, and they took turns to be on duty, in case the beasts would catch up, so they made preparations in advance.

As the night darkened, Lin Yan couldn't resist and fell into a deep sleep.

Just when everyone felt that everything was normal and nothing unusual, a group of black shadows approached quietly.

It is like a ghost, its flexible body is very agile in the dark night, it hardly makes a sound, and blends into the dark night.

Huang Li and Huo Qiang stood guard on the outside, holding spears in their hands, and waited intently. If there was a slight movement, they would be ready to hunt and attack at any time.

When a group of black shadows rushed over, the spears in the hands of the two stabbed out at the same time, but they both missed.A black shadow rushed in between the two of them.

Huang Li hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack!"

The black shadow moved in the crowd like smoke and mist, making it impossible to guard against.

After a while, the muffled cry of someone being injured was heard.

In the darkness, unable to see what it was, Heitu immediately ordered: "Light the torch."

Everything happened in an instant, without warning, without time for people to react.The people outside were slightly confused and immediately restored order.

They must persevere and not let the beast break into the middle.

After the torch was lit, people saw the true face of the shadow.Grab the weapon in your hand and attack the shadow quickly.

In less than 10 minutes, Sombra was assassinated by various sharp weapons and turned into a mass of flesh and blood.

Lin Yan woke up at the beginning of the chaos, and was quickly picked up by Mao Mu, ready to run for his life at any time.

After the black shadow was killed, Mao Mu led her to the black shadow, "What is this, silent, our people didn't notice it at all."

Seeing everyone gathered together, Heitu hurriedly said: "Those who are not injured should go on duty and be alert at any time."

He walked up to the black shadow, observed it for a while and said, "I've never seen this kind of beast before."

Everyone looked at Lin Yan expectantly, waiting for her to speak.

Lin Yan read the introduction to Sombra in the Science and Technology Museum, and to be honest, she really couldn't tell what that bloody mass was.

If it wasn't for Fat Treasure's trick, she wouldn't be able to recognize the black shadow that appeared there intact.

"This is a lynx. It looks like a wolf and a cat. It is also called a wolf cat. It feeds on rats and hares. It likes to live alone. It is good at climbing and swimming. It is not afraid of severe cold. It often haunts at night and is known as a night hunter."

What Lin Yan didn't say was that the size of this lynx was more than double the size recorded in the Science and Technology Museum.

Lan Yue was the first to react, "So, is this the only one?"

"In theory." Lin Yan wasn't sure if there were other lynxes around. "It's not safe at night, and we can't let our guard down."

Heitu said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't relax your vigilance. One is already very difficult to deal with. We injured six people just now, and two of them were seriously injured. Their legs were bitten, and the bones can be seen deep."

"I'll go and have a look." Lin Yan said hurriedly.

For this trip, the team prepared herbs to stop bleeding and detoxify.

Having seen the injured with their own eyes, Lin Yan, Lan Yue, and Mao Mu were all silent.

The wound was too big, and the bleeding was not stopping, even with hemostatic medicine, it didn't help.They tried their best to treat him, but there was nothing they could do.

Half an hour later, the lives of the two seriously injured came to an end.

Everyone was silent. They were full of confidence at first, but they were poured cold water on their heads by reality. It was so cold that they deeply realized the cruelty of the wild.

Lin Yan and Lan Yue were still young, and it was the first time they faced death directly, and the bloody fact was right in front of their eyes.

Seeing with my own eyes that the companions who were alive a moment ago closed their eyes forever, and they will never see the sun of tomorrow again.

At this moment, they deeply understood the fragility of life, the horror of beasts, and their own insignificance and humbleness.

That night, no one felt sleepy anymore.

For those who died in the wild, fellow tribe members would bury them on the spot, not wanting the body of the deceased to be tortured.

The next day the sun rose as usual, and everyone was silent in the morning light. They dug a hole with a heavy heart, and buried the two seriously injured on the spot.

Watching the living beings turn into dead bodies, buried in the soil, and disappear forever.Lin Yan was shrouded in grief, she was too uncomfortable.

Although I have seen the ferociousness of fierce beasts, but every time there is no danger.Not so lucky this time, someone paid the price with their lives.Only then did she clearly realize that this is a primeval jungle where the weak prey on the strong, and human beings are far less powerful than she thought.

Only through personal experience can I understand that human beings are vulnerable in front of fierce beasts.

It was just a lynx, which caused two deaths and four injuries in less than 5 minutes.

Lan Yue patted Lin Yan's shoulder, "Let's go."

Lin Yan took a look and saw that everyone had packed up and was ready to set off again.She took a deep look at the two bumps on the ground, then turned and walked towards Maomu.

In the next few days, the people in the team said little and were doing their own things in an orderly manner.But everyone tensed their nerves, ready to rise up and kill the enemy at any time.

Lin Yan was silent for a whole day, the smile on his face disappeared, lying on Mao Mu's back, his head was empty, his thoughts fluctuated and spread, and he was always out of focus.

Lan Yue glanced at Lin Yan from time to time, she was keenly aware that Lin Yan's state was not right.Everyone was very sad when his companion left, but Lin Yan's grief was different.

She seemed to have been hit hard, and she fell into it for a while, unable to extricate herself.

"Momu, walk slowly so that Lin Yan can see clearly."

Mogi looked at Lan Yue in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Lan Yue blinked at him, then looked at the person behind him, and Mao Mu understood it belatedly.

He slowed down, reminded Lin Yan to take a look when he saw a flower, and would hold Lin Yan for a long time when he came across a tree.

Seeing Mao Mu being so upbeat, Lan Yue pulled Lin Yan out, temporarily relieved.

Since encountering the lynx, the vigilance of the team has been greatly improved, and more people keep vigil every night.Everyone gathered in a circle and slept with weapons in their arms.

After walking for ten days in a row, I encountered a group of cattle. Fortunately, they did not take the initiative to attack. They avoided in time and there were no casualties.

When we arrived at the forest where we met hedgehogs for the first time, everyone called them the hedgehog forest, and saw many hedgehogs haunting them.Someone was accidentally pricked by a hedgehog, and it was a slight sting. After observation, it was found that it was not poisonous, and there were no other symptoms.

After passing the hedgehog forest, we walked for three more days to reach the mine.

Along the way, there was no danger, and we arrived at the destination safely.

It took eighteen days for the team to arrive at the mine, which was much shorter than the first time.

Seeing that the mine is the same as before, the tools they left behind are still there, and there are no traces of beasts, everyone gradually relaxes.

Those who came to the mine for the first time climbed into the cave curiously to look around, and couldn't wait to start mining.

Ore is valuable, this is everyone's perception.

1 kilogram of iron ore is worth 1 dime, so they all clearly see the value of the ore.
