Chapter 26 Survival in the Jungle (10)

Ma Zhong lay there motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The reason why Si Xuanyi took the risk to save him was because everyone could only take care of each other in this forest. One more person would give him more hope of survival, just like what happened tonight It is impossible for one person to deal with the matter, and the other is that he always feels that he can't just leave Ma Dong like this. Seeing him in a daze, he seems to see his future self. If he falls into this situation, don't he want others to save him?

In fact, they were lucky enough. Several people fell from the tree, only Ma Zhong fell to the ground, and the others all hung on the branches of the tree, and finally saved their lives.

Si Xuanyi fought with the eagle owl for a long time, and he didn't know if he wanted to kill it in the end, but he paid a big price. The original sufficient ammunition was exhausted, and the Thomson submachine gun only fired two and a half bullets. folder.

Now he only has an M1911 pistol and a few bullets in his hand. It is a wise choice to give the long gun to Li Siming. He can observe the situation below from a commanding height in the tree and provide fire support at any time. Si Xuanyi absolutely trusts him marksmanship.

The water under the tree was not too deep, but the mud was sticky and slippery and it was difficult to walk. The first thing he saw was the thing that Li Siming blew up to death, half submerged in the water not far away, under the dim and erratic light of the fire Many things looked a little distorted, so he couldn't see what it was for a while, and he didn't have the mood to verify what it was. Now he just wants to see if Ma Zhong is dead or alive. Just get him to a tree to see if he can be saved, this forest is too weird, we can't let him fend for himself below.

In fact, Si Xuanyi was also very scared. The experience of these people at night made them deeply aware of the horror of the jungle. He really didn't have the courage and confidence to continue walking. It's just that they were already in a dilemma. Now that they have gone deep into the jungle, the way back is the same It's dangerous, even if you leave this weird forest, you may encounter more ghosts, maybe they can't turn back.

He could clearly feel that there was something in the mud under his feet that kept hitting his legs and feet, but he knew that it was unlikely to be a fish, so he grabbed a gun with one hand and stuck one in the mud with the other. The still-burning branches were illuminated, and then he walked quickly towards Ma Zhong. Against the background of the erratic fire, the jungle became more bizarre and spooky. And how those things stared at him coldly, it was just that those things were frightened by the torch in his hand and did not dare to approach easily. Every time he took a step forward, he could feel something retreating, but they only retreated and did not escape. He kept his distance and continued to hide in the dark and watch this side.

The moment he approached Ma Zhong, he heard a low growl from the woods a few steps away, a bit like the sound of a dog protecting food, but it was not a dog, he knew very well, no matter what it was Things must be more difficult to deal with than dogs...

He raised his hand and fired two shots in that direction. Although he didn't hear any sound, he could feel that the thing was scared away.

Si Xuanyi stuck the burnt branch into the mud beside Ma Zhong, and then leaned over to check his condition. Ma Zhong's face was livid, his mouth was wide open, and his expression was terrified. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still breathing. Just when Si Xuanyi was thinking about how to get him back, something suddenly jumped out from behind the tree and rushed straight at his back. The distance was too close, and the thing was extremely sensitive and silent, so he didn't notice it at all, let alone react any way...

The moment the thing threw itself on his back, a series of gunshots rang out, and under the huge impact, the thing was blown away like a ball of rags...

At the same time, Si Xuanyi also reacted. He rolled sideways and went far away. After getting up, the gun in his hand was pointed at the direction where the thing landed. Under the erratic firelight, he could only see the back half of it. The exposed body is a bit like a cat, but much bigger than a cat, and more like a little tiger, but the pattern is not the same as that of a tiger. The rest, including most of the head, are hidden in the dark behind the tree In the process, the thing was completely motionless, and its body only swayed occasionally with the water waves.

If Li Siming hadn't opened fire in time, Si Xuanyi might have been tricked.

Si Xuanyi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and waved his hand to the tree to express his gratitude, and then he planned to see what it was, but at this moment he suddenly found that the thing was suddenly dragged behind the tree by something, gone...

Si Xuanyi was taken aback. He was quite sure that it wasn't that thing that escaped, but was dragged away by something. It was simply pulled behind a tree. In a daze, he seemed to see that long-lost hideous monster again. Faces flash behind trees...

He was so frightened that he was no longer interested in researching what was behind the tree. It didn't matter what it was, anyway, the thing came from bad people, and now he just wanted to go back to the tree, which was too dangerous.

Although he was a little panicked, he still didn't give up on Ma Zhong, and he didn't have time to see how Ma Zhong was injured. He just grabbed his clothes and dragged him back... Up the tree, up the tree, he just want to climb a tree...

At this moment, suddenly, the strong wind swept over the branches inserted on the ground, and the flames that were already gradually dimmed suddenly extinguished, and the surrounding area became dark again, and something instantly fell on Si Xuanyi's back.

The thing was very heavy, and it was coming so fiercely that Si Xuanyi was almost knocked to the ground. There was a burning pain on his back. He immediately let go of the hand that was holding Ma Zhong, took advantage of the momentum, rolled, and threw the thing away. Shooting, at the same time Li Siming on the tree also opened fire, the thing swayed a few times and got into the woods, as the gunshots rang out, there was a commotion in the darkness, Si Xuanyi could clearly feel that many things were using the cover of darkness Approach quickly.

"Ah Gui, light the fire...horse face, rope..." Si Xuanyi roared while dragging Ma Zhong to the tree. At this moment, the few burning branches on the ground had almost died out, and the blackness like ink quickly approached... …

Li Siming's gunfire kept ringing, and there were some strange screams or growls in the darkness.

Si Xuanyi tied the rope that came down from the tree to Ma Zhong's waist while urging the top to pull it quickly while climbing up. He obviously felt that many things were close at hand, and they might pounce on him at any time.

Seeing that he returned to Agui, he did not continue to throw the torch down, but pulled the rope vigorously with Li Guoshou. Li Siming's burst shot had turned into a strafing shot. I don't know what he was shooting, but Si Xuanyi could feel that he was a little flustered...

Ma Zhong's body left the ground very quickly. Agui and Li Guoshou felt the family's body was extremely heavy at the same time. At this moment, the flames on the ground were completely extinguished, and Si Xuanyi had already climbed halfway. The timing was just right. But just when they were rejoicing that they were done, the branch under Li Guoshou's feet suddenly broke because of the heavy load, and he fell into the darkness in an instant...
