Indiana Jones

Chapter 144 The Beginning of Nightmare (03)

The sky is getting brighter and the fog around is getting thicker. Si Xuanyi and Liang Rong wake up the others. Li Siming and Rhodes are easily woken up, but Ma Zhong is different. Li Siming woke up after being slapped across the face, and it took a full minute to regain consciousness, but he still didn't figure out what happened, he just touched his red cheek with a blank face, and finally he just murmured He said something like a dream, until Li Siming thought he was still awake and planned to slap him again, he waved his hand quickly: "I'm awake, I'm really awake, I need some time to wake up."

"It's time to go." Si Xuanyi looked at the others. In fact, the condition of the few people was not very good, and it seemed that there was not much difference from when they were not resting.

"Why is it more tiring than not sleeping?" Li Siming muttered and grabbed something beside the fire and ate it.

"God." Rhode sat down rubbing his temples and drank a few sips of water. This was a sign that his brain had not been fully rested. The severe headache made him unable to tell whether it came from the internal or external wound. In short, the feeling was really real. It's not that good.

Although they get a few hours of sleep, their bodies need much more than that. If conditions permit, they can sleep for several days and nights, but in this place they can have more than three hours of safe sleep. Quite lucky, who knows if they will have a chance to sleep later on the escape road?No one dares to have this luxury.

Li Siming got up and moved after eating: "Can you tell the direction?"

"It's roughly, it should be over there." Si Xuanyi pointed in one direction.

"Go up and have a look." Li Siming walked to the nearest big tree and quickly climbed up with a branch.

"Did anything happen last night?" Rhodes asked.

Si Xuanyi shook his head. In fact, he didn't wake up much earlier than the others. No one knew what happened during their coma. Anyway, they are safe and sound now, which is enough.

"There are a lot of footprints here." Liang Rong came out from behind the tree on the other side. She is not a gentleman, so it is convenient to find any place.

"I've never seen them before. They don't belong to the beasts we know. There are quite a lot of things here. I hope I don't encounter them again." Si Xuanyi said.

"Maybe they are eating vegetables." Ma Zhong patted his head, "Otherwise, why are you just passing by? Even if you are afraid of the fire and dare not approach, you have to linger for a while. The footprints seem to be just walking all the way."

What he said made sense, but Si Xuanyi was in no mood to praise him. What he was worried about now was how far the devils were from them. According to the distance they escaped last night, it was estimated that the maximum distance was less than 1000 meters, so they had to leave as soon as possible. , these devils will definitely follow at dawn.

After a while, Li Siming came down from the tree: "The general direction is correct. The devil is less than 500 meters to the southeast, and I saw the smoke column."

Unexpectedly, the devil would be so close to them, everyone's heart sank, Li Siming wiped off his sweat: "Let's go, try to go as fast as possible, no matter what, they can't catch up."

"How do you get out of such a thick fog?" Ma Zhong looked at the others strangely. In his impression, he waited for the fog to clear or lighten before leaving, but now it was when the fog was heaviest. It shouldn't be possible to catch up in this situation.

"If you want, you can wait for the fog to clear before leaving." Li Siming glared at him.

"That's not necessary, it's good to go now, it's cool." Ma Zhong quickly waved his hand, he was afraid that he would be left behind.

In this way, they ventured into the dense fog. In fact, they were adventuring all the time in the forest, but the troubles they encountered were different. In order not to get separated, several people almost walked slowly one by one, for fear of accidentally walking away. Lost, it is easy to get lost in this dense fog.

The temperature in the morning is the lowest in the day, which is a rare short cool moment in the jungle, but they dare not be careless. Although the jungle no longer has the ferocity of night, it is still full of dangers. They can clearly feel that something is coming from nearby. After passing by, for fear that something would suddenly jump out of the fog and pounce on them, Li Siming had already bumped into a half-meter-long, colorful centipede. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have chopped off the centipede's head and was bitten. I'm afraid I won't live long.

"If it is brought to the market, it must be of great value. It is a good medicinal material, but in this place..." Li Siming shook his head lightly.

"Isn't there no fear of bugs after having ten thousand years of oil?" Ma Zhong couldn't help feeling nervous when he saw the wriggling bug. He had never seen such a big centipede.

"It doesn't have to be a hundred-test Bailing." Li Siming said, "Such a big person should not be greatly affected by that thing; besides, I may have bumped into it directly this time, even if the ten thousand year oil is effective, you have to give it Is it time to avoid it?"

"You found out how the bugs are getting bigger and bigger without here?" Rhodes said, "From the mosquitoes to the snake-eating bugs before, to the centipedes now, everything is huge."

"He's right." Liang Rong continued after translating, "Even the wasps that attacked us before were bigger than what we saw outside."

"The tree here is also bigger than other places, not because it is tall, but thick enough." Li Siming patted the big tree beside him and said, "Everything in this place is bigger than outside."

"Why is that?" Ma Zhong asked in a daze.

"Who the hell knows, let's go." Si Xuanyi pushed him, "Get away from the devil as soon as possible, we will be at a disadvantage if we go on like this, and we may be caught up at any time."

"Correct the direction, don't go to the devil." Li Siming pointed to the big tree and said, Si Xuanyi nodded. He was also afraid that he might go the wrong way unknowingly. It will be troublesome if you go back.

Li Siming looked at the big tree in front of him and climbed up the branches.

"You stay here." Si Xuanyi also climbed up. The branches of the trees here are relatively large, so it doesn't take much effort to climb up. When they climbed to the canopy, they found that the sun had already come out, and there were countless people on the sea of ​​fog. The crown of the tree is dotted, and not all trees have the opportunity to grow high enough to grow the crown to other places with higher crowns.

After careful checking, they found that the direction was roughly correct. Although it was deviated to the west, the general direction was fine. In addition, they also found the devil's smoke column. There were three within the visible range, all behind them and to the east. The distance is not too far, the nearest is only about one kilometer, but this time what they saw was a yellow-brown smoke column rising slowly through the thick fog.

"Hasn't the devil set off yet?" Si Xuanyi felt a little strange, "That's good, at least we can put some distance away."

Just as they were talking, a roar came from afar, and soon they recognized that it was the sound of an airplane. Following the sound, a Japanese military transport was flying from a distance...

"The devil's reinforcements have arrived!" Si Xuanyi frowned.

"Such thick fog should not be suitable for parachuting, it may be for airdropping supplies." Li Siming held a different view.

The two stared at the plane in silence for a while. The devils have the ability to continuously increase troops and drop supplies by air, but they have no follow-up supplies except for the ammunition on their bodies. It is really far from fighting such an enemy.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the plane to start throwing materials at the place where the smoke column rose. It seems that these smoke columns can not only contact other teams but also serve as a reference for airdrops.

"Let's go, there is nothing to envy, so what if they can have a steady stream of supplies? Their losses are much greater than ours, and what they need is still in our hands." Li Siming said.

Si Xuanyi sighed for some reason, and returned to the ground silently. He didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. When the others learned that the devil was airdropping supplies, they didn't react too much. After all, Agui had already taken this This piece of news, at best, has now been confirmed.

"Let's go, the devils will catch up after the fog clears. This kind of place is easy to track." Li Siming pointed to the cut vines behind him and said, this thing is too obvious. Their progress may be slower than a snail, and they will inevitably be discovered by devils.

The difference between today and the past is that they heard the sound of planes flying again not long after. After the fog cleared, the sound still sounded from time to time, which made them all feel puzzled. In order to find out what was going on, Li Si Ming and Si Xuanyi climbed up the canopy again to see what happened.

When they climbed up to the canopy, they found that at least dozens of parachutes were slowly falling in the sky, and there were already some parachutes falling on some tree canopies... The devils are indeed increasing their troops, and they are still completely concentrated in their area , from their position, there are landing canopies in almost several directions, front, rear, left, and right, and now they are already surrounded.

Both of them felt heavy in their hearts, and the situation was even worse. After the two returned to the ground, they immediately told others what they saw, and then immediately left here and moved forward. They can't wait to die here, the devil will soon A large-scale search will be organized, and even the stragglers who appear nearby are enough for them to deal with, which is a big trouble.

"Shut up from now on, no one is allowed to speak unless necessary, even if life-threatening situation occurs, keep your voice down." Si Xuanyi said in a low voice while walking.

"There are devils everywhere in the vicinity, whether it is one or a few, as long as we don't find it, we should not open fire easily, and if we can't attract more right devils, then it will be even more difficult for us to get out." Li Siming added, "Remember, as long as There's no need to engage them if we don't see them."
