Indiana Jones

Chapter 159 Life and Death Choice (04)

Si Xuanyi and Liang Rong fled in a bit of a hurry. Although this word is quite inappropriate for them, their state is indeed like this. Although they are flustered, their progress is not fast, and almost all the time is spent avoiding abnormal noises In this matter, if there is any trouble, they will quickly change direction. They don't want to meet the devil again.

Even so, they couldn't get what they wanted, after all, the number of devils here far exceeded their expectations, and the devils nearby were constantly trying to converge in this area, but they happened to be within this wide range, and they met the devils several times. Although the trouble was dangerous, the purpose of not coming into direct contact with the devils was achieved. It's just that this kind of frightened feeling is not good. Si Xuanyi really can't be sure if he will not be able to control the devils next time. It was too nervous to shoot with my own hand.

It was almost noon, and the hottest time of the day finally arrived. The scorching heat made them dizzy. The intensity of exercise and the high temperature were really torture for them, and they might faint due to the high temperature at any time. Actually, they knew that going on like this couldn't work, but they couldn't stop. It was not safe here, and they had to leave as soon as possible. This was their only thought, but Liang Rong's speed was getting slower and slower. Her physical strength was almost at the limit, but she was a strong woman, no matter how tired she was, she always carried it hard, and never asked for a rest.

"Stop and rest!" Si Xuanyi saw that Liang Rong's state was not quite right, so he offered to propose it.

Liang Rong supported the tree trunk and gasped heavily, her body swayed back and forth as if she might fall down at any moment, Si Xuanyi asked her to sit down and handed her water: "Your condition is very bad."

"I'm fine." Liang Rong shook his head vigorously, but before he could drink a few sips of water, he vomited. It was the result of excessive exercise, but what he vomited was basically clear water, and there were very few food residues.

Si Xuanyi patted her on the back, Liang Rong pushed his hand away: "It's okay, I can persevere."

Si Xuanyi sighed and sat on the side without speaking. It took Liang Rong a while to recover.

"Eat something." Si Xuanyi took out a strip of biscuits and handed it over, "I haven't eaten anything since morning, so I have the strength to go after giving instructions."

Liang Rong silently took the biscuit and ate it slowly. The two were relatively speechless. They were very clear about their situation and were full of worries about what would happen on the road ahead.

"When you're almost done resting, let's go up the tree to see where we are, and we can't wander around anymore." Si Xuanyi said in a low voice.

"En." Liang Rong nodded.

Now they have completely lost their sense of direction, they don't know where they are, they can't go on like this, they must find the fastest route out of this forest, only in this way can they avoid the devils in the shortest time, and reduce encounters with devils chances of survival equals an increase in their chances of survival.

Their physical strength has basically reached a state of exhaustion. In addition to running wildly for their lives, they also suffer from fearful psychological torture. In short, under this double pressure, their bodies and minds are in a very bad state. In fact, it is still the same sentence In other words, it is a miracle that they can persist until now.

A short rest can't meet the body's recovery needs, but what they lack most is time. They don't have a longer time to rest because they are in danger. After ten minutes, they got up and began to climb the tree to confirm their position. , and at the same time looking for the way forward, in fact, both of them are in poor health, and climbing trees is difficult for them. The huge tree tens of meters high was quite difficult for them, but they finally climbed to the top of the tree. Looking at the rolling canopy, both of them were full of bitterness in their hearts, when would they come to the end.

"We have completely deviated from the direction." Liang Rong pointed to the main peak of Savage Mountain and said, "But the progress is faster than expected. Now we are heading east, almost parallel to the direction of the destination, so we have to go there, but The problem is that we have to cross the river to continue north, which is a bit difficult for us... If we can cross the river smoothly, we can effectively avoid the devils, but there are too many crocodiles in the river, it is not easy to think about it..."

Liang Rong carefully analyzed their current general location, the direction they should choose, and the difficulties they faced. The river she mentioned was exactly the one where Si Xuanyi led the crocodiles to pounce on the devils, and the width was not less than that. 50 meters, the water flow is slow, and there are all crocodiles in it. Crossing the river rashly is basically courting death.

"What if we continue to go east and then north?" Si Xuanyi asked after thinking for a moment.

Liang Rong thought for a while and said: "The distance will increase by about a quarter. From the trend of the river, if we go east, if we can't find a suitable place to cross the river, we will have to go south. It's a waste of time for us."

"En." Si Xuanyi nodded at him, and looked at Lin Hai who couldn't see any hope in the distance and fell into deep thought again.

"I know your plan. Going east is easier to avoid the devils. They must have guessed that our purpose is to leave the no-man's land and return to the area controlled by the Chinese garrison or border residents, so they may continue to deploy troops north. This is for us. Pretty unfavorable."

Si Xuanyi nodded and agreed with Liang Rong's guess. He really thought so, but judging from the distribution of the forests, the eastward route might be even more difficult. He saw a large area of ​​dead forests, and there might be The swamp exists.

Liang Rong continued: "The same goes to the west. Judging from the concentration of water vapor, the washing over there is strong, and the criss-crossing of rivers is more difficult to deal with. In contrast, the road to the north has a higher terrain, and we don't have to go back to the low-lying areas. Face more poisonous snakes and beasts."

The two of them discussed for a long time and finally couldn't come up with a more suitable choice. In desperation, they decided to go down and say that going down a tree would save a lot of energy compared to going up a tree, but before they got down to the ground, Si Xuanyi suddenly grabbed Liang Rong motioned her not to move around, because he found that the position of some inconvenient things left below had changed. The two stopped at a height of about ten meters to observe the situation below. The two were relieved to get out from under the bag, and they returned to the ground one after the other. Just as they were about to pack up and leave, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind a few nearby trees and rushed towards them...
