alien island

After searching around in the forest, Lu Boming managed to find a few hard-shelled fruits of color and color that they had eaten a few days ago, which were guaranteed to be non-toxic, and some off-white ferns that were slightly larger than the palm and resembled a spiral shape. The plants did not dare to go further into the nearby jungle, because the surrounding trees and bushes looked almost exactly the same in his eyes, and it was impossible to distinguish them. In addition, the sky was getting darker. If you lost your way here, you can imagine how dangerous it would be .

Originally, Lu Boming also hoped that he could meet some herbivorous animals so that he could capture them back easily.Compared with the broken and rough homemade wooden weapons in the hands of others, the air shotgun he secretly hid was much more powerful, which gave him a lot of courage, and his desire to capture large prey was even more eager to move.But after searching the surrounding area, he didn't see any prey worth catching. Counting these days, he hasn't filled his stomach at all. As a young man, his physical exertion is heavy, and he exercises every day. But there is no food to replenish energy, let alone meat.Lu Boming recalled that the meat he ate last time was just a bit of salty and fishy snail meat.

Now he urgently needs meat to supplement calories and protein. He spends so much time every day walking through the sweltering and high-temperature jungle, but he can only eat some root plants and sour and strange-smelling fruits in his stomach, which cannot sustain him at all. No matter how long the heat, the stomach will be hungry soon.It's a pity that he didn't pay special attention to learning how to survive in the wild before. Lu Boming didn't know how to set traps to hunt, and he didn't know how to track his prey all the way by relying on some subtle clues. He could only run around like a blind man. Come across one counts as one.

Even the common sense of plant toxicity that he had learned before would be of no use on this island where weird creatures grew randomly.Because most of the animals and plants are types that he has never seen before, and even some species that look familiar, have changes and differences in color and size from the ones he usually sees, like A mutated species, so it is not certain whether they are edible or medicinal.

Missing all kinds of meaty food with full of aroma and attractive fragrance, suddenly, a blue-crowned bird with colorful feathers and four pairs of wings seemed to be startled by the sound of their approaching footsteps, from the bushes covered by black shadows Congzhong flew out, and Lu Boming's spirit immediately lifted, and he strode towards the direction where the bird was flying and accelerated to catch up.

A doctor's assistant who spends almost all his time in the research institute, don't expect him to be able to catch up with an animal with obviously much better physical strength than him even when he has exhausted his physical strength and food for many consecutive days and is not full of food. big bird.After chasing after for a while, Lu Boming was already panting and sweating all over his body, because the air gun can only be shot within a distance of 1.5 meters, so he tried his best to catch up with the bird and will It kills.But no matter how fast he tried to catch up, he was still far away from the extremely fast bird.

Looking up and staring at the figure of the bird stopping and flying between the branches, no matter how tired the body is from walking around all day, seeing this rare meat food, the potential is stimulated at once, gritted teeth and persisted in chasing The blue-crowned bird above the head and Lu Boming's running body suddenly collided with a soft object, and both of them bounced off and fell to the ground.

Frowning, rubbing his chest that was hurting from the impact, although Lu Boming's heart was full of anger, he held back his breath first, and asked the middle-aged woman who collided with him and fell to the ground: "What is it?" you?"

"Oh! How do you grow your eyes? You are so rampant, do you want to kill me?" The same face was twisted into a ball in pain and sat down on the ground, raising his hand to rub himself when he was hit When it came to the body part, the middle-aged woman raised her eyes angrily and gave Lu Boming a supercilious look, complaining dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry, sorry, I was chasing a prey just now, so I didn't see the direction clearly." Who knew how this middle-aged woman who walked separately from him to find food would go back to the same place with him? Meeting each other in one direction, Lu Boming could only curse himself for being unlucky, what a burden to meet this troublesome mother and son!

Now it is estimated that the bird has already flown away, and it can no longer be chased. It was all messed up by the annoying woman in front of him!Although Lu Boming said he was sorry, he secretly blamed all the troubles he encountered on this woman and her child in his heart. Not only did he lose his potion, but even the lucky prey he encountered It all fell through.The dissatisfaction and resentment accumulated together made Lu Boming feel more depressed and irritable at the moment, and he couldn't directly quarrel face to face.It is of no benefit to him to fall out with the rest of the survivors, so Lu Boming can only endure it for the time being and not to attack.

"Be careful in the future, you are so big and so reckless. I can't stand your bump." With her hands on the ground, she got up, and the middle-aged woman bent down to pick up the quilt just now. The non-toxic mushrooms she had just picked up, and some herbaceous edible plants were scattered all over the floor.Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she suddenly pulled a thin vine tied around her wrist, and shouted, "Xiao Liang! Xiao Liang?"

It was only then that Lu Boming noticed that a long tree vine was tied around the left wrist of the middle-aged woman at some unknown time. Looking at the two sides of the woman, there was no figure of the boy, so he couldn't help guessing. I wonder if the woman tied the child with a tree vine.

After shouting for a long time, there was still no voice to respond to her. The woman anxiously pulled the vine on her wrist again. Fortunately, there was still movement and weight on the vine, and her tense nerves were relieved a little.Since the child disappeared, she searched all the way along the river, and found it in the water near the lower reaches of the river bank. Since then, she has become more worried.

Just now, in order to prevent herself from accidentally letting the child run away because she was too focused on finding food to eat, she imitated everyone's method of dealing with that crazy man, and tied a tree vine to the child's body, and tied the other end to a vine. On her own wrist, even if the child doesn't notice it for a while and disappears, she can pull the tree vine to find it, follow the direction of the tree vine, and know the child's location accurately.

The woman pulled the rope and called the child's name several times, but there was still no response. She was a little anxious, so the woman turned around and pulled the vine to find her child.In fact, the length of the vine is not very long. It was a vine she found randomly on the ground and tied it up. The child should not be too far away from her.Seeing the woman running to find her child, Lu Boming also followed by. Anyway, the prey he wanted to catch was gone, and he had no intention of looking for other food.

Although skinny, Lu Boming is indeed quite tall, and he walks much faster than women. He only took a few steps, and he casually surpassed the middle-aged woman who was walking in front of him. With the tree vines tensed and shaking slightly in the air, he first found the location of the little boy.

The little boy was facing away from them, squatting behind a big tree covered with brown fluff, holding something in both hands, and moving his head back and forth.

Looking from the boy's side, Lu Boming was surprised to find more white strips as thick as silk threads floating out of the boy's forehead wound.The thin threads that looked like jellyfish tentacles were entangled with the things that the little boy was holding tightly. The brown liquid, like blood, passed through the entangled threads and was sucked into the thin white threads one by one. middle.Lu Boming looked carefully at the thing that the boy was holding tightly, and suddenly found that it was the blue-crowned octopus he was chasing just now? !

The big bird with beautiful reflective wings was completely entangled by the silk thread that came out of the boy's forehead. The white silk thread object was constantly wriggling like a mesh. Lu Boming was startled. What are those things? !

"Small light----"

The middle-aged woman who followed closely shouted anxiously and shrilled the white linear objects protruding from the boy's head, so that they retracted in an instant. The speed was so fast that Lu Boming doubted himself again. Did you get dazzled just now?

The little boy didn't speak. The woman who was rushed to him lifted him from the ground and supported his young body. The woman wiped off the dust on his body and said, "Look at you, It was dirty again. Huh? What you have is...? Xiao Liang, you also found a bird? Where did you find it? Are you not injured?" Looking up and down the child's whole body, it seems that there is no place After being injured, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and planned to take the bird from the boy's hand.

The little boy grabbed it with both hands, but was quickly pulled into the hands of the middle-aged woman: "Huh? This bird is dead? Why is there a hole in the eye?...Blood?" Touching the bird's body, it was stained The wet and hot liquid in her hands felt like blood, and then she lowered her head to observe carefully the position of the bird's closed eyelids, and there were two empty holes that were still dripping blood, if it wasn't for touching the bird's body With a bit of residual warmth, the women wanted to wonder if the bird had died and rotted a long time ago.

If it was normal, she would naturally throw away the bird immediately in disgust, but... she hasn't eaten anything good for so many days, looking at the dead bird that is still warm in her hand, the middle-aged woman swallowed Saliva, recalling the delicious cooking methods and tastes of many fowls in the mind, the stomach grows hungrier.Now, as long as it's an animal that hasn't completely rotted away, what else does she dare not eat...

Wrap the bird's feet with straw ropes and hang them on the belt around the waist. The woman takes her child's arm with one hand and plans to go back the same way. Looking at the sky, it has become very dark, and she doesn't want to go back. Continue to take risks to find some food for everyone. With such a big bird, you should be able to cook a soup of bird meat, mushrooms, and vegetables. When the night gets cold, you can drink some warm and filling food. Soup is already a very difficult thing.

Seeing the middle-aged woman pulling the little boy to return, Lu Boming also turned around and went back. Now his attention is focused on the silk threads that suddenly protruded from the little boy's wound. What the hell are those?This little boy, did something happen to his body?He couldn't easily draw such a terrifying conclusion, so he could only continue to observe secretly.

By the time they returned, there were already two simple shelters in the shape of an 'L'. It won't rain, so they only built a shelter shape with one side slanted over, mainly to block the wind at night.The fire had already been made, and the middle-aged woman took the food collected by Lu Boming and herself, and was going to make something for everyone to eat at night.

While processing the food, the middle-aged woman cut open the strangely dead bird and found that the viscera inside was strangely semi-liquid, and the amount of viscera was very small. She didn't mind it. When this strange creature organ, as it should be.After quickly cleaning up all the ingredients, they carried the round thick carapace of an unknown animal they found on the road, and used it as a pot. Put the cleaned up food into it and cook together.

When all the stewed food was eaten and drunk, these survivors gathered around the fire, silently stunned, both physically and mentally, they had become very tired, there was nothing to do Feel uplifted by chatting.Huang Bin, who was bitten by a strange mouse at the beginning, seemed to be infected. There was no medicine or anti-inflammatory drug, and a large yellow translucent blister appeared on the wound for no reason. The flesh that was sutured nearby also began to become red and swollen. , it hurt and itched, but he couldn't move it, because of this, the taciturn man's face became even uglier, almost no one dared to talk to him who was in a bad mood at this time.

As for Lu Boming, whose drug addiction began to flare up intermittently, he yawned frequently, unwilling to let others look at him curiously, aware of his strange behavior now, and turning his head to look at the middle-aged woman, Not seeing the little boy, these incidents made Lu Boming even more flustered and uncomfortable, so he stood up from the fire, greeted the others: "I'll go to the side and have a quiet moment." Then he turned and left.

Walking slowly to the area around the shelter, Lu Boming yawned deeply again, and shivered involuntarily all over his body.Ever since he lost his blue potion, the frequency of seizures has become more frequent and more serious. His body is prone to fatigue and fatigue, and he can't even sleep at night. Tens of thousands of ants gnawed at it, and the muscles all over his body were throbbing. He really couldn't bear such torment and torture. Facing the trunk of a slender tree in front of him, Lu Boming kicked it hard without venting, making the branches There was a flurry of tremors, and the leaves rubbed against each other to make a rattling sound.

After enduring it for a long time, the sudden onset of pain in his body slowly subsided again. Lu Boming endured so much that his head was covered in sweat. When he turned around, he seemed to see a person curled up and resting in a shelter.That person... Isn't that the little boy?So, was it arranged by his mother to go to bed first?After thinking about it, Lu Boming walked towards the shelter and observed the little boy who was resting on his side, as if he was completely asleep.

The little boy's complexion, in the light of the fire that can still be projected from a distance, looks even more gray and lifeless, his chest has no ups and downs at all, his bluish lips are slightly parted, and his whole appearance is like a body standing still. corpses, not living things...

Just as he was wondering about the little boy's weird complexion, Lu Boming suddenly noticed that the little boy's originally smooth cheeks seemed to bulge upwards, as if a long worm was crawling under the little boy's gray skin.After a while, there were more raised and line-like things passing through the exposed skin on the little boy's entire cheeks. The little boy's skin was constantly raised and sunken, which was horrifying.If it weren't for Lu Boming not taking the blue potion anymore, he would definitely think that what he saw before his eyes were all his illusions.Until he saw the little boy's eyes slowly opened, and his mouth suddenly opened up and down, revealing three empty black holes on his face...

This is definitely a black hole. The little boy's mouth and eyes are all pitch black. There are no eyeballs and no tongue. The wide pupilless eyes and tongueless mouth waited for a few seconds. , a large bunch of intertwined white silk objects, gushed upwards from the boy's nose, eyes, and ear holes, stretched and lengthened towards the air, and each thread kept twisting and turning back and forth in the air.Lu Boming's expression changed, and he took a few steps back in shock. Seeing the little boy's condition, he hurriedly shouted to the people who were still surrounded by the fire, who didn't know what had happened: "Hey! Hurry up!" come over!"
