"Zhongyi, what's wrong with you?" Li Xin reached out and touched my forehead.
I looked up at her and said, "It's okay, I just have a little headache."
At this time, Mr. Mai and the big man came back.
Jenny quickly asked, "How about Mr. Mai? Can we pass by the shore?"
Mr. Mai sat down and said, "No, we can't pass. The big man and I just need to get out of here." There was a jungle, and those red bugs immediately crawled out from all directions, and there was no way to go. ”
The big man also said, "Yeah, it's a good thing that we both ran fast, otherwise those ghosts would have caught up with us."
"Don't worry, that weird insect doesn't dare to come in, we are here It's relatively safe for now." I said quietly.
"Zhongyi, are you okay?" Mr. Mai smiled at me. He was very happy to see me waking up.
"It's okay, Mr. Mai, we can't hide in this jungle all the time. We have to find a way to get out of here. Let's discuss it."
Everyone is here now After waking up the others, everyone sat on the ground and began to discuss how to escape from here. I also told Mr. Mai and the others what happened before.
Everyone felt very strange, and originally decided to leave, but there was definitely no way back to the shore, so the only hope was to go up the mountain to see if there was any other way out.
Furthermore, I also want to investigate the wizened old man and this mysterious island. I always feel that all this is not a coincidence, as if someone is pushing the development of things.
Maybe this small island is really the next stop destination. There is no need to vote this time. The way out is blocked, so we can only do this.
Everyone decided to rest until early tomorrow morning and march to the top of the mountain. But if you want to go up the mountain, you have to go through this large jungle. This is the only way you must pass. How big is this jungle? , no one knows, but I feel that the danger is getting closer and closer to us.
After the matter was discussed, the others lay down and continued to rest. I got up and looked for some thick branches nearby that I could hold in my hands. "Zhongyi, what are you doing?" Mr. Mai was patrolling around, and when he saw me holding a bundle of branches, he asked me something confused.
"A temporary self-defense tool." The first guard was Mai Lao and I. To survive in the wild, we have to be vigilant at all times, and someone must stand guard.
I sat on the ground and used a diving knife to sharpen the front of the branch so that it could be used as a spear. The diving knife was too short and difficult to escape. We had only two spearguns in our hands. , the rest are grenades.
Mai Lao came over, took a branch, sat next to me and said, "Good idea, I'll help you."
The two of us were very fast, about half In a few hours, we can guarantee that everyone will have one. I took it in my hand and tried it and said, "The thickness is just right. It's absolutely no problem to kill people."
Mr. Mai put down the thing in his hand and said, "Zhongyi, that mysterious old man you told me about today, Does he have any characteristics?"
"Characteristics? Didn't I tell you everything? He's very skinny, hunched over, and has a bad smell." I put all the weapons together and waited for them to get up. Just give it to them.
"What I mean is, besides this, are there any other characteristics, such as appearance or something like that?" Mai Lao said, gesturing with his hands.
"No, I can't see his face. Why did you think of asking me this?" What did he mean by asking this?
"Oh, it's nothing, I just feel weird. I heard you say that there was a person before, but I didn't pay much attention at the time. I always felt like how could there be anyone living in this deserted island?" said Mr. Mai. Then, he stood up and looked around.
I leaned under the tree and said, "I want to know too, I always feel that this island is special, not such a simple desert island."
"Yes, I originally thought it was a deserted island, but I didn't expect that so many things would happen. Lao Wang died miserably." Mai Lao said a little sadly.
I stood up and walked over and asked, "By the way, Mr. Mai, what are those strange red insects you said?"
Mr. Mai shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I saw such a terrifying creature once. This kind of bug has never been recorded in human history. "
"But I heard Chang Shan say today that these strange insects seem to be brought about by a curse. Have you heard of it?" I asked him tentatively. I have always remembered Chang Shan's words. It is very clear that this person is very principled in everything he does and says, and generally does not talk in vain.
"Curse? Did Chang Shan tell you?" Mai Lao asked with a frown.
I nodded and said, "Well, he told me personally. Is there really such a thing as a curse?"
"It's hard to say, since we went to sea, nothing can be explained according to common sense. , but I have heard of some of these so-called curses, but many of them are legends or rumors, and their credibility is not high." Mai Lao touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"You also know that Chang Shan doesn't like to joke. There must be a reason for him to say that." Mr. Mai did not make his position clear this time. Is he pretending to be confused? Or do you really not know?
"Maybe, the matter will be found out sooner or later. It's almost time. Let's call out the big man and Jiao Ba. Let's take a rest."
It's the turn of the big man and Jiao Ba. Eight days later, I stood guard and fell asleep leaning against the tree. I didn’t know if it was a dream or something. I could always hear the old man’s voice in my ears. There was no emotion in that voice, just death. of peace.
After this sound, we were surrounded by those strange red insects. They shuttled back and forth in my body. There were countless holes in my body. They crawled out from my eyes and mouth< br>
I opened my eyes suddenly, Jiao Ba was sleeping snoring next to me, Jenny and the others were also sleeping opposite, Shunzi and Changshan were standing guard. I have to say, these two brothers are still Very dedicated, always looking back and forth around us.
"Brother, are you awake?" Shunzi saw me waking up and nodded to me with a smile.
I took a look at the time. It should be about one o'clock in the afternoon. Why do I say that? Since I landed on this island, I found that my watch is actually disturbed and always goes faster and slower. How many times did we go? Everyone's watch will have time difference, so the time may not be accurate, and there is no sun here, so it is impossible to tell the specific time.
“Call the others, we should get ready to go.”
I raised my head and glanced at the sky. It was still gray and gloomy. Although the dense branches blocked the sky, it was still easy to distinguish. Since I landed on this island, I have never seen the sun for a day, let alone felt it. Beyond the warmth brought by the sun, this damn ghost island is indeed not a normal place.
After waking up everyone else, I gave everyone the weapons made from tree branches yesterday, and then gave Mai Lao four grenades. This thing is used to save lives at critical moments. It is absolutely forbidden as a last resort. Mr. Mai has been in the army and knows how to use this thing.
After we packed our things, we prepared some baby-faced fruits to satisfy our hunger, and then we started to march. Our goal was to go straight to the top of the mountain through the jungle. We walked forward all the way. When we walked for a while, At that moment, I suddenly realized that this jungle was much bigger than I thought.
It's even scarier than the virgin forest. It's very quiet all around. Those strange big trees seem to be alive. I feel like they are rotating while we are walking, or maybe they are. I was too worried and too nervous.
In the depths of the jungle, you can’t hear the sounds of any animals. Except for the footsteps of our group, you can’t even feel the wind. Without the sunshine, the jungle is extremely dark. , so gloomy that people’s hearts tremble.
Mai Lao led the way, and the others were in the middle. Jiao Ba and I were at the back. Jiao Ba muttered, "How fucking far do we have to go? I'm exhausted. It feels like the mountain isn't far away either." , why does this go on endlessly? "
"Wangshan is so tiring. You see, the mountain is very close to us. It is quite far to walk, especially in this kind of jungle, which is rugged and difficult to walk. "I walked." At the very back, he held a spear gun and said.
Jiao Ba gasped and said, "Oh my god, sworn brother, can we take a break? I can't walk anymore."
Actually, I'm a little tired too. But we didn’t go very long at all, mainly because we didn’t have much rest these past few days and there was not much food to eat. In addition, the night Lao Wang died, we were so tormented by those strange insects, we were even more exhausted physically and mentally.
"Then let's take a rest, I'll inform Mr. Mai and the others." I shouted loudly forward, "Old Mai, let's take a rest, we're tired."
Mai Lao stopped, turned around and waved his hands and said, "Everyone, take a rest where you are."
Jenny and Li Xin were sweating on their heads. Li Xin wiped his forehead and asked Jenny, "How are you? Can it be done?"
Jenny nodded reluctantly and said, "It can be done. I’m fine.”
I cut open the baby-faced fruit, walked over and handed it to them, saying, “You two, have something to drink, don’t get exhausted.”
Li Xin. Take it, look at me and say, "Thank you, how far do we still have to go."
"I don't know. If you walk through this jungle, you should be almost at the bottom of the mountain."
This island doesn't look big, but walking through this jungle is really hard. The ground is covered with hills. , almost no place is flat, and people have fallen down several times. Fortunately, there are no strange creatures in it, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
While we were resting, Shunzi suddenly called me, "Brother Yi, come quickly and see what this is."
I hurriedly walked towards him again, "What's wrong? Are you so surprised?" "What flowers do you see in this row?".
