Counterattack of Infinite Earthlings

It has been raining for several days, and the water on both sides of the river has risen several meters.

Chen Yihan and Katniss, came to the river, stopped to fill the water bottle, and then the two checked the traps they set a few days ago, but they didn't hit anything.

However, it is not surprising that there is no prey in this weather.

In addition, in this area, Chen Yihan has not seen many traces of animals.

"If we want to hunt prey, it's best to go back to the place where I used to hunt." Chen Yihan thought for a while and said.

"At your command, you just tell me what to do," Katniss said.

"Be careful to observe the surroundings." Chen Yihan said, "Try to walk on the rocks, there is no need to leave his footprints. You have to listen carefully to the movement around us." Chen Yihan is now very clear that the explosion completely deafened him Katniss' left ear, so the surrounding movement can only be discerned by Katniss' ears.

Walking in the water will not leave any traces, but Chen Yihan is not sure whether Katniss' injured leg can withstand the force of the stream.

Although the medication had an anti-inflammatory effect, she was still weak. [

In addition, the knife wound on Chen Yihan's own head was quite painful, but it had been three days and the bleeding stopped. However, he still had a bandage on his head to prevent the external impact from tearing the wound open again.

Up the stream they passed where Katniss had camouflaged herself in the grass and mud.

Fortunately, under the washing of heavy rain and torrents, all traces have disappeared.

This means, if necessary, they can return to the cave.

Otherwise, Chen Yihan would not take the risk of letting Cato follow them.

As they walked forward, the stones became smaller and smaller, from big stones to small stones, and finally to cobblestones. Chen Yihan heaved a sigh of relief, and they returned to the gentle forest area covered with soft pine needles.

But for the first time, Chen Yihan realized that they had a problem.That is to drag a bad leg and walk in a place full of rocks, which will definitely make noise. Even if you walk on the soft ground covered with pine needles, Katniss's footsteps are also very loud.

The more Chen Yihan thought about the loud voice, the more he felt that Katniss footsteps were loud, as if stomping, Chen Yihan turned his head and looked at her.

"What's wrong?" Katniss asked.

"You have to walk lightly." Chen Yihan said. "Forget about Cato, you scared away all the rabbits in a radius of hundreds of meters."

"Really?" Katniss said, "Sorry, I don't know."

Then they walked on again, Katniss's footsteps a little quieter.But even with only one good ear, her voice is usually enough to make Chen Yihan jump.

"Can you take off your boots?" Chen Yihan suggested.

"Here?" Katniss asked suspiciously, as if Chen Yihan wanted her to walk barefoot on the coals.

Chen Yihan had to remind herself that she was still very uncomfortable with the current situation. [

"Yes." Chen Yihan said patiently, "I'll take it off too, so that our voices will be much softer." Saying this, it was as if he himself was making a loud voice.

Afterwards, both Chen Yihan and Katniss took off their boots and socks.In this way, the voice was a little softer, but Chen Yihan was sure that she was trampling hard on every branch.

Needless to say, although it took several hours to walk to the original camp of himself and Lulu, he did not catch a single game.

If the trickle is gentle, you can still catch fish, but now the stream is very fast.

When they sit down to rest and drink water.Chen Yihan wondered what could be done.

After resting for a while, Chen Yihan thought about leaving Katniss behind, and went to pick the roots of the plants by himself, and checked the surroundings for prey.

But in this case, Katniss only has a knife for self-defense and against Cato's spear, and Cato obviously has the advantage.

So, the best thing to do is to hide her in a safe place.Then go to pick berries and hunt, and then come to her again.

But Chen Yihan felt that with Katniss' conceited character, she would not agree to do so.

"Katniss." Chen Yihan said, "We have to separate. I have to find some food for us."

"Know that I scare the prey away," Katniss said.

"It's just because your leg was injured." Chen Yihan comforted him, being considerate of him.In fact, this is only a small problem.

"I know," Katniss said. "Then why don't you keep going? Tell me what plants are edible, so we can both have work."

"It's not good for Cato to chase you down." Chen Yihan tried to speak in a gentle tone, but it sounded like he still felt that Katniss was weak.

Surprisingly, Katniss just smiled and said, "Look, I can handle Cato, I've fought him before, haven't I?"

Yes, she did a great job, and she almost died lying on the muddy floor. This is what Chen Yihan wanted to say, but he couldn't.

Because she did confront Cato head-on and saved her own life, Chen Yihan tried to persuade him with another strategy: "You climb up a tree to serve as a sentry, and I'll come to hunt, what do you think?"

Chen Yihan spoke very seriously, trying to make Katniss' work sound important.

"You tell me what can be eaten, and then you go get some meat to eat, what do you think?" Katniss said imitating Chen Yihan's tone.

"Just don't go far, in case you need help." Chen Yihan could only sigh and compromise.

Then tell Katniss which plant roots and which wild vegetables can be eaten.

What they lack most now is food, there is no doubt about it.

An apple, two omelets and a piece of cheese the size of a plum won't last long.

Chen Yihan walked a short distance away, hoping that Cato was still far away.

While walking, Chen Yihan taught Katniss a bird song.This bird song is not Lulu's beautiful tune, but a simple two-note call.

In this way, Chen Yihan and the two of them can contact each other and report that they are safe.

Fortunately, Katniss learned it quickly, and then Chen Yihan left her the bag and went hunting.

Now Chen Yihan's range of activities, with Katniss as the standard, can only walk about 20 to 30 meters away from Katniss.

Although not far away, without Katniss, the forest was alive again with the sights and sounds of animals.

Hearing her bird song, Chen Yihan was relieved.Go a little farther away.

Soon, Chen Yihan killed two rabbits and a fat squirrel.

These things are enough for now.

Chen Yihan played some tricks again, catching a few fish, together with the plant roots and wild vegetables that Katniss dug, it was enough to eat for a while.

After finishing all this, Chen Yihan started to walk back.

I thought I hadn't contacted for a while.Chen Yihan immediately uttered a bird song, but there was no reply.

what happened?

Chen Yihan was startled, and ran back quickly.

Soon, he saw the backpack, a pile of plant roots neatly placed beside it, and a layer of berries on a piece of plastic sheeting on the ground.The sun was slanting down on it.But where is Katniss?

"Katniss!" Chen Yihan shouted, feeling flustered.

"Katniss!" There was a rustling sound from the nearby bushes, and Chen Yihan raised his arrow and shot it, almost piercing Katniss' heart.

Fortunately, he pulled his bow high at the last second, and the arrow hit the trunk of an oak tree to Katniss' left.

Katniss jumped back, throwing the berries she was holding onto the floor.

Chen Yihan was surprised and angry: "What are you doing? You should stay here. Don't run around in the woods!"

"I found some berries by the stream." Katniss said, she was confused by Chen Yihan's anger.

"My birdsong, why didn't you hear back?" Chen Yihan asked angrily.

"I didn't hear it, probably the sound of the water was too loud." Katniss walked towards Chen Yihan and put her hands on his shoulders. Only then did Chen Yihan realize that he was trembling.

"I thought Cato killed you!" Chen Yihan almost shouted.

"No. I'm fine." Katniss snuggled into Chen Yihan's arms, but Chen Yihan didn't respond.

"Katniss!" Chen Yihan drove her away, trying to calm down, "If two people agree to use a signal, they must do so. If one person does not answer, it means that he is in trouble. Shall we agree?"

"Okay!" Katniss nodded.

"Because that's what happened to Lulu, I watched her die!" Chen Yihan turned his back to Katniss, and took out another bottle of water from his backpack, although there was still water in his bottle.

Because Chen Yihan didn't intend to forgive her.

Chen Yihan noticed the food.The apples and omelets were untouched, but someone had apparently taken some of the cheese.

"When I'm not around, you still eat alone?" In fact, Chen Yihan didn't care, he just wanted to find fault with her.

"What? No, I didn't eat it," Katniss said hastily.

"Oh, I guess the apple ate the cheese." Chen Yihan said.

"I don't know what ate the cheese," Katniss said slowly and word for word, as if trying to hold back her temper, "It's really not me, I've been picking berries by the stream, you want to come order?"

Chen Yihan actually wanted to eat it, but he didn't want to let it go so soon.

Chen Yihan walked over to look at these berries, he had never seen this variety before.Oh no, seen it, but not in the arena.

Although it looked like the berry Lulu was talking about, it wasn't, nor was it like the berries they'd known in training.

Chen Yihan leaned over to pick up some, and fiddled with them between his fingers.

"This is..." Chen Yihan was startled suddenly, "This is the 'Death Fruit'!" At this moment, the cannon rang.

Chen Yihan turned around, thinking that Katniss would fall to the ground, but she just raised her eyebrows.

The helicopter appeared about 100 meters away and hoisted Foxface's emaciated body into the air.

Chen Yihan could see her hair shining red in the sun.

When I saw Cheese for the first time just now, I should have thought of her...

Katniss took Chen Yihan's arm and led him towards a tree, "Climb up, he will be there in a while, it's more advantageous for us to attack him from the tree."

Chen Yihan calmed down and stopped her: "No, Katniss, you killed her, not Cato."

"What? I haven't seen her since day one, how could I kill her?" Katniss said in surprise.

In order to answer her question, Chen Yihan held up the berry in his hand and took some time to explain the situation to Katniss.

How Foxface stole the food before she blew up the supplies herself, how she just took enough to keep herself alive without being noticed, how she didn't suspect the berries they were going to eat, etc. etc.

"I wonder how she found us? Guess it's my fault, if only I walked more lightly," Katniss said.

Speaking of tracking, is it difficult to track us?It was similar to the difficulty of tracking a herd of cattle, but Chen Yihan didn't want to provoke Katniss with bad words.So it just said, "She's smart, Katniss, well, she used to be smart, but you're smarter than her."

"I didn't mean to, it doesn't seem fair, I mean. If she hadn't eaten the berry first, maybe we both would have died." Then she corrected herself, "Oh, no, of course we won't, you Recognize the berry. Right?"

Chen Yihan nodded: "We call this kind of fruit Suomingguo."

"The name alone sounds scary enough." Katniss said with lingering fear, "I'm sorry, Chen Yihan, I really thought it was the same kind of fruit you picked."

"Don't apologize, we are one step closer to going home, right?" Chen Yihan said with a smile.

"I threw the rest away," Katniss said as she picked up the blue plastic sheet, carefully wrapping the berries inside.Going to throw them in the woods.

"Wait a minute." Chen Yihan shouted, and then found out the leather bag of the boy in the first district, and put some berries from the plastic cloth in it.

"If that fools Foxface, it might fool Cato too. If he's after us, we'll pretend we lost the leather pouch, and maybe he'll eat it."

"In that case, we will be able to return to District 12 soon." Katniss also said with a smile.

"That's right." Chen Yihan pinned the leather bag on his waist.

"He's probably figured out where we are now," Katniss said. "If he's around. Seeing the helicopter, he'll know we killed her and come after us."

Katniss was right that this might be the moment Cato had been waiting for.Even if he and Katniss run away now without lighting the fire, he will know the whereabouts of the two of them.

"Let's light the fire, light it now." Chen Yihan began to collect firewood.

"Are you ready to fight him?" Katniss asked.

"I'm ready to eat. Better roast the meat while we have a chance. If he knows we're here, let him know. But he knows we're two, and maybe he thinks we're Chase Foxface. This means that you have recovered. The fire means that we are not hiding and are waiting for him to come. Now it is you, do you dare to show your face?"

Katniss thought for a moment and said, "Maybe not."

Katniss is an expert at starting fires, slowly starting fires with wet wood.

After a while, the rabbit meat and squirrel meat were roasted, and the plant roots were wrapped in leaves and roasted over charcoal fire.

Chen Yihan and Katniss took turns to pick wild vegetables, while carefully observing Cato.

As Chen Yihan expected, Cato did not dare to show his face.

After the food was cooked, Chen Yihan wrapped most of it, leaving only one rabbit leg, and the two of them ate while walking.

Chen Yihan planned to go deep into the forest, find a big tree to hide, and planned to spend the night there.

But Katniss was firmly against it.

"Although I can climb trees, my legs are not good. I don't want to fall asleep and fall to the ground from a height of 50 meters."

"It's not safe to stay on the ground, Katniss." Chen Yihan persuaded.

"Can't we go back to the cave?" Katniss asked. "It's close to the water and good for defense."

Chen Yihan sighed.

They have to walk for hours in the woods, or rather, they have to clatter and step on the branches and leaves all the way back, stay overnight and go out to hunt the next day.

But Katniss' request is not too much, she obeys her command all day long, and in turn, she would not ask herself to spend the night in a tree.

Reflecting on how he was not very kind to Katniss today, he nagged her too loudly, and made a lot of noise because he couldn't find her.

The romance in the cave was lost in the wild, under the scorching sun, under the threat of Cato.

Haymitch must be blaming himself again, and the audience...

Chen Yihan stood on tiptoe and kissed her, and said: "Of course, let's go back to the cave."

Katniss was very happy, and her hanging heart was relieved: "Okay, this is great."

Chen Yihan pulled the arrow from the oak tree, being extra careful with the arrow shaft for fear of breaking it.

Because with these arrows, they can get food and safety, and they can also keep their lives.

Chen Yihan threw another bundle of firewood into the fire.The smoke could last for a few more hours, though he still doubted that Cato would do anything about it.

When Chen Yihan Katniss returned to the stream, the water level dropped a lot, but the stream was still flowing slowly as before.

Chen Yihan suggested that the two should still walk in the stream.

Katniss was happy to follow his advice so that her voice was much quieter than on land.

But maybe it wasn't such a good idea, even if the two of them went down the stream.There is also rabbit meat to replenish their energy, but it takes much longer to return to the cave.

Both Chen Yihan and Katniss were very tired and did not eat enough.

Chen Yihan had an arrow on his bow all the time to guard against Cato's attack, but he failed to catch any fish.

But strangely, there seemed to be no living things in the creek.

When Chen Yihan and Katniss arrived at their destination.The legs are already sore and weak, and the sun is about to set.

They filled the bottles with water and went over a hill to the cave.

Although this stone cave is inconspicuous, it is the place most like "home" in the vast wilderness.It was also warmer here than in the trees, and at last they were given some shelter. At this time, the cold wind was blowing slowly from the west.

Chen Yihan arranged the delicious dinner, and Katniss began to take a nap after eating half of it.

She has been inactive for many days, and she is tired enough to go hunting today.

Chen Yihan ordered her to get into the sleeping bag to sleep, and save the leftover food to eat when she wakes up.

Katniss soon fell into a deep sleep, Chen Yihan pulled the sleeping bag under her chin, and kissed her forehead.

It's not for the audience.It was for himself, because Chen Yihan was very grateful that she was still alive and did not fall by the stream as he thought, so that Chen Yihan didn't have to face Cato alone.

Cato, a cruel, bloody fellow, could wring a man's neck with a single blow of his arm.He could beat Sarrish, he'd hated himself from the start, maybe hated himself when he outscored him in training.

Chen Yihan had a feeling.His good grades also upset Cato.

He still remembered that when he blew up their supplies, the others just felt uneasy, but Cato seemed to have lost his nerve. Chen Yihan even doubted whether Cato's mind was completely normal now.

The national emblem appeared in the sky, and the image of the fox's face flashed in the air, and then disappeared completely from this world.

Chen Yihan actually admired her very much, and even felt that if everyone was tested, she must be the smartest one.

If the poisonous berry was a trap deliberately set by herself and Katniss, she would definitely feel it and would not eat it.

It was because Katniss didn't know it that she died.

Chen Yihan kept reminding himself not to underestimate his opponents, but he forgot that it is equally dangerous to overestimate them.

However, Fox Face was just a passer-by in Chen Yihan's mind, after a little thought, it passed.

Chen Yihan's thoughts returned to Cato.

For Fox Face, Chen Yihan felt that he had a certain ability to judge her, who she was and how she would act, but he didn't have this ability to judge Cato.

Cato was strong and trained, but was he smart?

Chen Yihan didn't know.

Cato, doesn't look as smart as Foxface, and doesn't have her control at all.

Chen Yihan even thought that Cato would completely lose his judgment after losing his temper. At least Chen Yihan felt that he had no extraordinary ability in this regard.

Thinking of this, Chen Yihan actually remembered the arrow he shot at the apple in the pig's mouth when he was angry. Maybe he knew more about Cato than he imagined.

Although he was sleepy and physically exhausted, Chen Yihan's mind was still clear.

The time for Chen Yihan and Katniss to change shifts has passed, but he wants Katniss to sleep more.

When Chen Yihan shook Katniss awake, it was already dawn.

Katniss was surprised when she woke up: "I slept all night, it's not fair, Chen Yihan, you should wake me up."

Chen Yihan got into his sleeping bag and lay down: "I'm going to sleep now, if there's something interesting, don't forget to wake me up." (To be continued...)
