Indiana Jones

Chapter 134 Getting Worse (02)

It was already dark after the camouflage, and this place was nice, as if it was prepared for them, and it was a blessing to have a rare rest on the most tiring night.

After sealing the hole with bushes, they built a bonfire in it with confidence. They needed to heat the food and dry their clothes. Since entering the canyon leading to the elephant grave, they have never had even a moment of peace. It's just as simple as being tired, almost always in a state of fear, giant mosquitoes, bugs, ghosts, and monsters who don't know what happened last night. Double torment.

"If we can't rest well tonight, we're afraid..." Li Siming rubbed his temples and said, "It won't be long before we die of exhaustion."

"Half dead already." Ma Zhong lay on the ground, "I'll sleep for a while, don't call me unless it's a devil coming."

"Get up and cook." Li Siming kicked him.

"No...too...tired." This guy fell asleep slowly before finishing his sentence.

"I'm really exhausted." Si Xuanyi shook his head.

"I'll go to bed first too, I can't take it anymore." Rhodes also leaned against the stone wall on one side and said.

"Eat something first, otherwise waking up hungry will be even more uncomfortable." Li Siming put a box of canned food by the fire to heat it up.

"No matter what, someone must keep watch tonight. Although we have such a good place to rest, we must not take our guard too lightly. Don't forget what this place is." Si Xuanyi was still quite sober.

"That's natural." Li Siming's sore arm said, "I can't forget this."

"Go to sleep, I will guard the first shift." Si Xuanyi put his rifle across his lap. Fortunately, they didn't run too far when they were attacked yesterday, otherwise the gun might not be able to point to where it fell. Fortunately, they threw it away It is really important for them to find all the things they have. It is too difficult to survive in the jungle without weapons, not to mention there are a large group of devils tracking them.

"Then I won't argue with you anymore. It's unrealistic to ask me to guard the first shift now, and it's impossible for me not to fall asleep." Li Siming leaned on the rock wall and said, "So you have to...can't hold on Wake up...call...wake up..." Speaking of which, he also fell asleep, with a cigarette still in his mouth.

Si Xuanyi smiled wryly and took two puffs of the cigarette in his mouth. This was the most difficult part. After all, he had to stay here and not fall asleep, otherwise there would be no point in vigil. He was really afraid that something would happen suddenly. Get in from the outside. After all, the hole is just a large group of bushes camouflaging, which is easy to destroy.

Si Xuanyi took out all the cigarettes on his body and dried them by the fire, and then smoked one after another to prevent himself from falling asleep unknowingly, but this method was not very good, after all, he was too tired After a while, his eyes began to fight. In desperation, he had to wet his hair with cold water, but the effect was not very good, but at least he could persist for a while. When he was most sleepy, he burned the back of his hand with a cigarette to force himself to wake up. , After wrestling with himself for a long time, he looked at his watch and realized that it was less than half an hour. It seemed that it would not be so easy to hold on for a while longer.

Li Siming's hot canned food fell into Si Xuanyi's stomach. Although they were all hungry, they couldn't resist the Sandman's attack. They really needed to rest in their current state.

Si Xuanyi originally planned to hold on for two hours, but he also fell asleep after half an hour. No one is hardened, and he is naturally no exception. Although he is very afraid of the night without guards, he is afraid that something will come and attack them , but he still couldn't resist his body's need for rest, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep was extremely unsteady, with constant nightmares, either dreaming of being attacked by some strange beast or a large number of devils appearing, which made him frightened, and he didn't know how long he slept. He was finally awakened by the nightmare. He dreamed of countless The devils broke through the bushes and rushed into the cave and shot at them and killed them all.

This nightmare frightened him into a cold sweat. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the bonfire was almost extinguished, leaving only a mass of dark red charcoal fire and a few faint flames. The light in the cave was extremely dim, and he could vaguely I saw other people sleeping on one side in a mess.

Si Xuanyi wiped off his cold sweat and looked at the hole blocked by the bushes. It was intact and unchanged from their previous arrangement, which made him somewhat relieved.

Just as he was about to add some firewood to light up the bonfire, he suddenly heard movement outside. The distance was quite close. He immediately became alert, grabbed his gun, carefully approached the entrance of the cave, and slowly pushed aside the bushes to look out. Looking at it, he was really frightened. He saw more than [-] devils camping in the woods below. He knew the two leaders. They were Kawaguchi and Miyamoto who met in the swamp. Of course, he didn't know. The names of these two people, but their looks are deeply imprinted in his mind, and he still remembers Agui's death still fresh.

No one thought that they and the devil would meet in this way in this kind of place. Of course, Si Xuanyi knew very well that if the devil accidentally found them here, they might not have a chance to escape. Although this cave is located under a high forest, This is a dead end, there is no other way to go, as long as the devils can easily kill them all with grenades.

The devil was less than ten meters away from them. Si Xuanyi was very aware of how dangerous it was. At the same time, he was even more aware that this night might not be so easy, at least it was impossible to sleep peacefully as expected.

Just when he was thinking about how to spend the night, a sound of snoring suddenly came from behind him, which frightened him a lot. If the devils heard them, they would be dead. You don't need to just look and listen to him to know that it is Ma Zhong voice, this is a guy who has done more than succeed in his affairs.

Si Xuanyi immediately rushed back and covered Ma Zhong's mouth. It might be because his movements were a little too loud. Li Siming was awakened, so Si Xuanyi quickly covered his mouth too: "Don't talk."

Li Siming was also taken aback, but he soon calmed down, Si Xuanyi slowly let go of his fingers and pointed outside: "There are devils."

Li Siming reacted relatively quickly. He just reacted after being stunned for a moment, and immediately took the gun to the entrance of the cave to look down. Si Xuanyi let go of Ma Zhong. The guy didn't wake up, turned over and continued to sleep. Sylphy was afraid that he was snoring and planned to wake him up, but before he could make a move, Liang Rong woke up first. The moment she opened her eyes, she only saw a shadow squatting in front of her, and she couldn't see who it was in the dark. She was so frightened that she trembled first, and then opened her mouth to shout. Fortunately, she trembled first, Si Xuanyi knew in advance that she woke up and covered his mouth.

Although Liang Rong didn't yell out, she went to bite Si Xuanyi's hand. This was a subconscious reaction. Si Xuanyi grinned in pain, but he stifled it tightly and didn't make any sound. He said in a low voice: "It's me, don't make a sound, there are devils."

Rhodes had already woken up, and it was impossible for him to continue to sleep after such a toss. Only Ma Zhong was sleeping in the dark, and he couldn't wake up. In desperation, Si Xuanyi could only ask Liang Rong to watch him. Snoring just plugged his mouth.

Si Xuanyi completely extinguished the bonfire. The light is easily caught by human eyes at night. He didn't want the devils to see the fire on their side. It would be tantamount to courting death.

The devils below have a clear division of labor, some are preparing dinner, some have already climbed up the tree and started to prepare hammocks, and the remaining seven or eight are responsible for keeping an eye on the movement around them. Defend in the direction of possible beasts around.

The devils chatted without any scruples, babbling Japanese one after another, and several people were trapped on the cliff with indescribable panic in their hearts.

"This is troublesome, and they chose the same place to camp." Rhodes said on the ground, but Liang Rong was watching Ma Zhong from behind, and no one interpreted for him, so neither Li Siming nor Si Xuanyi could hear him What are you talking about.

"I'm afraid this night will be difficult." Si Xuanyi was also secretly anxious. With so many devils around, no one was in the mood to sleep.

"What are you afraid of? If there are devils, the possibility of us being attacked by wild beasts is much smaller. The trees here are tall, but the density is not as high as before. After a while, the moon should be able to illuminate the situation below. In addition to the devil's bonfire, It’s easy to see below, and the brighter below, the better for us, and it’s impossible for them to notice the top of their heads.” Li Siming said.

Although what Li Siming said was upside down, Si Xuanyi still understood what he meant. The stronger the light on the side of the devils, the less likely they would not be able to focus on them. The wild beasts are much more likely to pay attention than them. Even if the wild beasts come, they will be directly attracted by these devils, but they may be completely ignored. It's just that it doesn't feel good to stay under the eyes of such a large group of devils.

"Sleep, anyway, there are so many ghosts helping us attract the attention of those beasts, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Li Siming is really quite open-minded, but I don't know if he really thinks about it or just talks about it.

After watching it for a while, Rhodes just sighed and went back to sleep, but he could clearly feel that the few people inside seemed to be asleep except for Ma Zhong who hadn't woken up, but Li Siming was really quiet after a while Down, probably asleep.

Si Xuanyi could only watch silently. He also wanted to sleep, but he didn't dare to sleep. After half an hour, the devils quieted down. They all climbed up the tree and got into the hammock to rest. Si Xuanyi soon found out The problem, I don’t know when there are more things on the canopy not far away...
