Indiana Jones

Chapter 143 The Beginning of Nightmare (02)

Several people were completely lethargic, or the kind of lethargy that completely gave up defense. For them, the sentinel was useless. Everyone was very tired. Anyone who stopped could not fall asleep. A sentinel who has no effect at all might as well go all out and gamble on luck.

But they are not defenseless, everyone has a hidden grenade, if the devil finds out, they will die together. They are very clear that they can die, but they will definitely not die in the hands of the devil.

Sleeping until dawn, Si Xuanyi woke up groggyly, and everyone else was still asleep. There was already some twilight in the woods, and it was no longer the absolute darkness. The surrounding campfires hadn't burned out yet, but the flames had dimmed a lot. Against the background of the fire, he saw a few jackals squatting not far away and staring at this side. He subconsciously touched the gun beside him. The jackals retreated quickly as if they were startled, and at the same time showed him long hair. Canine Fang threatened Si Xuanyi in his own way.

The jackal quickly retreated to the dark place, and Si Xuanyi could no longer see where the thing was. He added some firewood to heat up the fire, and the surrounding light suddenly lit up.

The lethargy of more than three hours and close to four hours did not make him feel refreshed, dizzy and unable to cheer up, there was no pain anywhere on his body, the wound was painful and itchy, and his muscles were so sore. It's like being torn apart, in short, there is no place in the whole body that feels comfortable, and the body's recovery is far from reaching the required level, but how can he get a better rest in an extremely insecure situation?
The bonfire made him feel uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to stay away from the bonfire for safety. If there was no Wannian oil, they would have been covered with bugs. This thing has helped them a lot.

Si Xuanyi slowly moved his hands and feet, and regained control of his body bit by bit. Only by walking out of this hellish jungle can he survive. It can be seen how lucky they were to be able to fall asleep peacefully these few hours. Huo deduced and helped them block the wild beasts, and they didn't have to worry about bugs, that is to say, they didn't just rely on luck, because Si Xuanyi found a giant python coiled around a tree a few meters away, and there seemed to be a snake in the crown of the tree above his head. Something, there are some sounds from time to time in the distant forest, as if something is wandering, compared to the threat of jackals, it is insignificant. I really don't understand whether these beasts can't feel each other's existence. ?To be able to get along "harmoniously" at such a close distance.

Ma Zhong was talking in his sleep that he couldn't understand. Si Xuanyi came back to his senses. He put his rifle across his lap and stared at the darkness nearby, for fear that something would appear suddenly. He slept for an hour at most, and then they should They set off, no matter how they rested, they finally got a chance to rest, and they couldn't expect too much under such environmental conditions.

To his surprise, Liang Rong was the second one to wake up. The little woman sat up silently and looked at him without saying anything. She just took her gun and put it aside.

"You can still sleep for a while." Si Xuanyi said in a low voice.

"No need, I can't sleep." Liang Rong said, "I'm very satisfied to be able to sleep until now."

"En." Si Xuanyi nodded and didn't know what to say.

Liang Rong looked at the foggy and dimly lit forest all around: "It's almost dawn."

"Yeah." Si Xuanyi nodded again, he took out something to eat and roasted it by the fire, "Come over and eat."

Liang Rong moved over and sat down: "Is it time to wake them up?"

"Wait a little longer." Si Xuanyi said, "I can't get up now, the fog is too thick."

"Fortunately, we didn't encounter any trouble during this time." Liang Rong said.

"No, in fact, many things have been here, but they just didn't touch us." Si Xuanyi said, "There are many strange footprints nearby, which have never been seen before, and they are very large. I don't know if they are not interested in us, or they are afraid of the flames. Or maybe they didn't see us, but we're fine anyway."

"Now we are not afraid of insects. Fire can disperse most of the beasts. This is the case. We lit enough torches this time." Liang Rong said, "Maybe the beasts here are seeing flames for the first time. It's like we're seeing them for the first time, so it's normal to be afraid and stay away, but I don't know how long this fear of the flames can last."

"It's enough, at least we've got a rest now." Si Xuanyi said while eating, "Although the time is short and the body's recovery is not as good as expected, it's enough, at least we still have a chance to continue struggling .”

"The devils have become our biggest threat now, and we are still far away from getting out of the jungle. I don't know if we can persist until then." Liang Rong whispered, and Si Xuanyi could hear the worry in her words.

"It's definitely possible. We have to go out no matter what. We can't let the devils kill us so easily." Si Xuanyi stretched his sore arms while eating. The encounter must have caused them heavy losses, and if they do not receive effective reinforcements, they will not last long."

"What exactly is that?" Liang Rong still had lingering fears about what she saw last night.

"No matter what it is, we can't deal with it." Si Xuanyi said, "Fortunately, that thing didn't attack us while we were sleeping."

"If the devils chased us last night, none of us would survive." Liang Rong still felt scared after saying this.

"We have no choice. We really can't hold on any longer. However, if the devils continue to hunt us down in the face of continuous sneak attacks and missing people, the possibility is very low. They are not really that afraid of death." Si Xuanyi said, "So we killed their tracking team before to give them a big blow. It doesn't matter whether they think it was us who killed them or the wild beasts in the jungle. The point is that they know that if things go on like this People are going to die, so that's why we have these few hours to rest."

"You have already calculated the matter so clearly, it seems that my worries are unnecessary." Liang Rong sighed softly and said with admiration.

"No, in fact, we are largely gambling on luck. Devils are our main threat, but the threat of the jungle is also deadly. If we are not too tired and can't hold on, we will definitely not fall asleep collectively in this kind of place. We really have no choice It's gone." Si Xuanyi said helplessly.
