Indiana Jones

Chapter 23 Survival in the Jungle (07)

In the chaos, Li Siming couldn't confirm whether he had hit the eagle owl that grabbed him, he just felt his body loosen suddenly, and the whole person fell from above.

Amid the crisp sound of a branch being broken, he fell down uncontrollably. During this period, he tried to stabilize himself by grabbing around, but failed. When he was desperate, his back suddenly tightened and he fell. The momentum stopped suddenly, and the huge force pulled him in pain.

It took him a while to realize that he was hung in mid-air. It turned out that the Springfield M1903 sniper rifle on his back was hung between the branches. .

It was pitch black nearby, and he didn't know how far he was from the ground. Just when he was glad that he didn't fall to his death, the gun belt on his back suddenly broke, and he fell to the ground before he could react. He was not high from the ground, but it was too dark to judge where he was hanging.

But the strange thing is that it didn't hurt at all when it landed, just like being on a ball of cotton.

Strange, he thought to himself, if the bottom is not mud, it should be water, how could it be so soft.

Just when he was wondering, someone below him suddenly spoke, the voice was very weak: "You... lord, which bastard... bastard... presses on me?... Kill me... ah."

Li Siming immediately recognized Ma Zhong's voice. The voice was low, intermittent, and extremely painful. This guy was not as lucky as him, and fell into the muddy water and died half dead.

Only then did Li Siming realize that he had hit this guy, no wonder it didn't hurt at all, it was simply a natural human cushion.

He quickly got up, and only then stepped into the muddy water. The mud on the ground had reached his ankles, and his hands were so black that he couldn't see his fingers, and he couldn't see anything.

The torch fell somewhere, and there was nothing on his body that could be used as a kindling. Even if he had a few rounds of ignition bombs, it was useless. When the pistol fell, it flew to nowhere. The rifle belt was broken and it was gone, and besides, there was nothing to burn on my body, it was all wet.

what to do?It's too dark. In this environment, it's very dangerous not to see anything. There are wild beasts everywhere, and they may be eaten at any time.

"Is anyone there?" Li Siming asked, no one paid attention to him, even Ma Zhong didn't respond, there was silence in the darkness all around, as if the whole world was dead, where did everyone else go?Just when he was about to call the rest of the people, there was another gunshot above his head, and Si Xuanyi was still entangled with that thing.

"Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong... Do you have anything on you that can ignite fire?" Li Siming asked in a low voice.

"There are monsters... that want to eat people!" Ma Zhong said incoherently, obviously he was not sober.

"Damn it!" Li Siming cursed in a low voice, and groped around Ma Zhong, hoping to find something useful, but he only found mud full of hands, and finally found some ammunition and a bullet on his waist. The grenade, as for Ma Zhong's gun, I don't know where it went...

Li Siming flipped the grenade. Although it is not very handy, it is always a weapon. It can also be used for self-defense when necessary. At least it can give yourself courage. In such a dark place, who knows what will be nearby...

He stuck the grenade behind his waist and continued to grope around Ma Zhong, but in the end he couldn't find anything that could ignite a fire, but he managed to find a dozen yuan. This thing is useless in the woods, it is better than a box of dry Matches (matches) are popular.

It's okay if there is no fire starter, but the grandson has no other weapons that can be used for self-defense except for a grenade. It is estimated that it was all scraped off when he fell from the tree just now.

Li Siming sighed, and threw away the ocean in his hand. Just when he didn't know what to do, there was a sudden sound of wading from some direction...

"Who..." Li Siming pricked up his ears to carefully identify the direction of the sound, and at the same time drew the grenade from his back.

"Wow..." The voice suddenly stopped as he shouted, and at the same time Li Siming also understood that the voice was not far away from him, at most seven or eight steps away, just in front of his left, and he immediately moved his body Facing that direction, holding the grenade tightly to make a defensive posture, no matter what it is, that thing is not a good comer, since he does not answer his question, then it is unlikely that this thing is a person, in this kind of place only Beasts are infested, no matter what kind of beast it is, his chances of winning in this environment are not great, but he doesn't want to wait for death, even if he is bitten to death, he must fight to the death first, and at worst, he will die together.

All of a sudden, he couldn't hear anything except the occasional gunshots from the tree. At the same time, he quickly untied the armor belt around his waist, with the belt buckle facing outwards. He will definitely be hit within a certain range. This is an extremely simple early warning device. This may be the most powerful weapon on his body besides the grenade.

Suddenly the voice sounded again, and this time it came to his right side, he turned around quickly, and just like that, the voice began to circle around him non-stop, not knowing whether it was looking for an opportunity to attack or not daring to approach.

At this time, Li Siming's nerves were tense to the extreme. He didn't know what it was, and his heart was full of fear, but he didn't know what to do. In this absolute darkness, he had nothing to do.

Soon he realized that it was impossible to go on like this, so he began to move his body through the muddy water of different shades while waving his belt, hoping to find something to rely on. There are big trees everywhere here, although they cannot be seen, they are As long as you keep moving, it shouldn't be difficult to find. It's much better to stand against a big tree than to stand in a place that may be attacked from all sides.

But it soon found that it seemed to land on an open space there, and no matter how much it turned the belt in its hand, it didn't touch anything. This was really abnormal, and he knew very well that there should be big trees nearby. , how could it not touch anything?
Just when he was wondering, there was a sudden sound of water splashing, and something rushed up from behind in a flash of strong wind.

Li Siming bent over and rolled over far away, at the same time he heard the sound of something falling into the water. He could tell from the sound that the thing was not small. Just when he was lucky to escape an attack, he hit his head hard on something. , he stretched out his hand to touch it, only to find that it was a bare tree root. The impact was so heavy that he was dizzy. Anyway, he finally found a big tree to rely on, but before he could recover, he heard it again for a while. There was a continuous splash of water, and that thing couldn't come over again...
