Indiana Jones

Chapter 24 Survival in the Jungle (08)

Li Siming is very clear that no matter what it is, there is no chance of winning against him in such an absolutely dark environment. You don't need to guess to know that the thing can see you, and you can only judge it by the chaotic sound of water. the existence of something.

If you want to survive, you have to find a way, but you can't see anything, and you don't have any weapons to defend yourself. The only grenade is useless at close range except as a hammer. It's not right, at least it can be used to commit suicide. ...

What should I do?Li Siming asked himself, his mind was spinning rapidly, but at this moment the thing couldn't come over again, he could only instinctively roll over to one side, but at the same time he was hit hard on his shoulder, and there was a burst of tearing. The excruciating pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and he seemed to hear a dull growl... He must have heard this sound before, but he couldn't remember it for a while, probably because he was nervous, so he heard it for a while. It was impossible to tell what it was, but he could feel the thing's claws sweeping over his shoulder and then slapping the tree trunk fiercely, and it was slapping right beside him. Hearing the force of the slap on the tree trunk, it was obvious Impossible to rely on their own hand-to-hand combat to be able to defeat.

At this critical juncture, Li Siming had an idea in a flash of his mind, but it was a bit risky, but now that his life was hanging by a thread, he couldn't care so much. Instead of waiting for death, he might as well give it a go and maybe have a chance...

When the thing rushed towards him again, he quickly rolled over several times and fled to the distance. Soon he hit another tree, and before he could react from the severe pain of the impact, he heard the sound of splashing water Quickly approaching, the thing caught up again...

At this time, Li Siming had already touched the trunk and stood up. He quickly pulled the grenade and threw it under his feet, and then stopped for a while. The moment he heard his voice was about to pounce, he suddenly turned to the back of the tree. Almost at the same time, the grenade exploded. The flames of the fire flashed in the woods, and in a trance, something was blown out, and Li Siming briefly saw the situation around him through the flash of light. He was in a piece of mud, and the nearby giant forest What made them feel even more horrified was that he seemed to see countless pairs of eyes in the gaps among the trees, and he also saw a person standing behind the trunk not far away...

The source of the explosion disappeared in a flash, and everything was hidden in the darkness in an instant, but what he saw in a trance made his heart tremble and his hair stand on end. He immediately groped and climbed up the big tree in front of him in a hurry. The tree was covered with vines, and he quickly left the ground, but it was too dark here, and he didn't dare to climb too high, so he stopped when he could touch the thick branches.

What should I do?Li Siming is a little desperate, and now he has fallen to the point where he can't go up, down, go, or stay.

It's so dark, climbing up is indeed not a wise choice, there is a danger of falling down at any time, and there is a possibility of encountering more ferocious beasts, everything he experienced just now has left him with lingering fears, obviously that is not a wise choice.

He couldn't leave, and staying was tantamount to waiting for death, which really made him very desperate.

He is very clear that the most urgent thing now is to light a torch. With the light, he can see the nearby situation clearly and make corresponding countermeasures according to the actual situation. Keep yourself safe.

But the things on his body can't make fire at all, and he can't find something to ignite in such a dark environment. In an embarrassing situation, almost everything is wet in the forest where it has just rained. How easy is it to find something to ignite?

"Is he/mother still alive?" Li Siming cursed desperately, no one responded, no one paid attention to him, the gunshots on the tree had stopped, how is Si Xuanyi's condition?is still alive.

Time seemed to have stopped in the darkness, he couldn't even feel any changes nearby, and he didn't know how long it had passed before he saw a light not far away, at first he thought he had an illusion, when he felt that because of When his eyes were in the dark for a long time and suddenly saw the pain of not adapting to the light, he knew it was real.

"Who else is there?" It was Agui's voice, and he lowered his voice very low, as if he was afraid of being heard.

Human beings learned to use fire because of their fear of darkness. This is a milestone achievement for humans to transform and utilize nature. For thousands of years, humans have relied on fire as a basic lighting tool. It was not until humans invented electricity that clean, Clean, convenient and long-lasting lighting methods, but in most parts of the world in the 40s and [-]s, fire was still the main lighting tool, and the popularity of electricity was far from being able to fully meet the needs of all human beings, especially in the In underdeveloped or backward areas, torches, bonfires, oil lamps, candles... these are the closest lighting tools to the poor.

In this dark jungle, Li Siming experienced life and death several times in a short period of time, from the sneak attack of the eagle owl to the fall from the top of the tree, and then he killed someone who didn't know anything in the absolute darkness. The assailant, in this absolute darkness, he had a deep understanding of what fear is. The feeling of seeing nothing almost drove him crazy, but he still tried his best to resist the fear in his heart, using his mind and flexibility that had not yet fallen into confusion His skill saved this life. When Ah Gui's torch was lit, he even wanted to cry with excitement. He had never longed for the light like now...

But after that moment of excitement was replaced by anger and madness, he couldn't help but want to yell at Agui, why did he go so early?Why didn't I respond after shouting for so long?I made myself think that everyone was dead, and got through the crisis just now with fear. If it wasn't for my good luck, I would have been dragged away by that thing long ago.

But just when he was about to yell out angrily, he saw Agui desperately waving at him, motioning him to keep quiet, and at the same time pointing to a direction for him to look, Li Siming was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction he pointed, Under the weak and erratic firelight, he only saw a piece of trees hidden in the depth of the light and shadow. The light and shadow were changing and spooky, but he didn't find anything else, so he made a very incomprehensible expression to Agui .

Agui was already drenched in sweat, and gestured for him to look carefully. He looked over there again, but there was still nothing in the dark, but then he realized that he had misunderstood it, and Agui was pointing in the right direction. It was Ma Zhong's side. Knowing this, he immediately went to find Ma Zhong who was lying below. It didn't matter what he saw, he was so scared that he almost fell from the tree, except for the creepy shadow he saw before. I also saw something standing in the shadow of a tree not far from Ma Zhong, with a pair of green eyes flickering erratically...

Li Siming hurriedly touched the gun habitually, but then remembered that he had lost everything he should have thrown away, and the only grenade on his body was also used in the cold fight just now.

Originally, he wanted to ask Agui where the others had gone, but now he didn't dare to open his mouth, for fear of disturbing the thing. At this time, the torch in Agui's hand began to dim, and Agui hurriedly threw something on it. Things, I saw the torch suddenly lit up with a "chi...", and suddenly illuminated the surrounding area. At this moment, Li Siming was horrified to find the whole picture of the eyes behind the tree. It was a person. He was staring at Ma Zhong, who was not alive and dead on the ground with a pair of strange eyes that humans could not have. Just when he almost cried out, the light quickly dimmed, and the thing disappeared into the darkness again. Although the time was very short, he Still saw that the person seemed to be Lu Qingxi who had died long ago...
