The Last Kabakans

"Can this car still drive?" Joshua asked standing behind Gad.

"I can't drive anymore," Gad stood up and clapped his hands, looking at the bloody planet in the sky, and said worriedly.

"And what's worse is that the temperature will rise by 25 to [-] percent within three hours. We must find drinking water as soon as possible, as well as shelter from the high temperature and a place to rest. How about it, can you bear it?"

Joshua was obviously worried too, and he glanced at the car, which was empty.

"Do you have any plans?" he asked Gad.

"This place is more than 90 kilometers away from the Woodpecker. In this situation, it is impossible to go back, but we can go that way," Gad leaned on the car door, turned his head and pointed northwest, "There is a road over there. It takes about six hours to walk across the canyon, and it can be faster if you take a shortcut."

"Shortcut?" Joshua looked in the direction Gad pointed, and felt that the high ground seemed familiar.

Gad didn't answer. He smiled and walked to the front of the land vehicle, knocked a few times on the somewhat deformed hood, and then gestured to Joshua: "Come and help."

Joshua hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

The two worked together to lift the hood, and Gad leaned halfway in, and after a while of groping, he fished out two hoses from under the fuel storage tank.

"About five kilometers to the west from here, there is a cliff more than 400 meters high," Gad folded one of the pipes in his hand, then took out the knife stab in his boot, turned his head and said to him with a smile , "If you go down from there, you can save at least half of the time..."

Before he finished speaking, Joshua grabbed his arm: "Be careful!"

That hand was slender and slender with distinct joints, and the delicate palm was attached to the rough skin, giving it a icy and cool touch.

The condensate splashed from the hose spilled all over Joshua's protective clothing. When he found that Gad's eyes were wandering upwards along the back of his hand, he immediately withdrew that hand like an electric shock, reminding him Said: "Concentrate."

Gad's eyes finally fell on Joshua's slightly flushed smiling cheeks, and after taking a sip carefully, he said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Joshua finally knew that there really are eyes in this world that can penetrate people's hearts.

He turned around and walked behind Gad, digging through the burnt holes in the protective clothing and asked, "Isn't that cliff so easy to descend?"

"It's just a few bird's nests," Gad buried his head and continued to work, "as long as they don't disturb them."

Joshua frowned and didn't speak anymore. He seemed to remember something, turned around and jumped into the cab.

Gad worked for a long time before getting out the little condensate left in the hose. Just when he raised his head, he saw Joshua stepping on the bridge with one leg crossed, gnashing his teeth and not knowing what he was doing.

When I walked over, I realized that he was dismantling the steering wheel of the land vehicle.

"Come on, come down first, what are you doing climbing so high!" Gad stretched out his hand to Joshua, "From now on, you will leave all the physical work to me, okay? Well, you come down first!"

Joshua didn't even look at him, he was holding the wrench on the base of the steering wheel and was jingling and operating it. Gad couldn't stand it anymore, so he just jumped into the car and squeezed together with him.

"What are you doing up here?" Joshua asked with staring eyes, "Go down!"

Gad pretended to put his head on Joshua's chest, and carefully observed the base up, down, left, and right: "Why not, since you don't want my help, let me observe and learn, it's okay!"

As he said that, he knocked the wheel axle twice with the back of his finger, raised his head and licked Joshua's chin, and said with a playful smile: "Well, it's quite strong, big and thick! Hey, how did you dismantle it?" , teach me quickly!"

Joshua showed a sullen expression, he directly stuffed the wrench into his arms, grabbed the bracket above his head and jumped out of the car.

Gad, who had succeeded in the trick, accepted the wrench with the corner of his mouth curled up. Looking at Joshua's angry look, he thought that he was being shy because of being teased by him, and immediately felt refreshed and full of energy.

It didn't take long for Gad to remove the steering wheel, carry it on his shoulders and prepare to set off: "Let's go!"

Joshua glanced at the steering wheel on Gad's shoulder, and said coldly, "Don't you ask what I'm using this for?"

"Ah?" Gad's heel that had just been lifted fell again, "Is there any need to ask? I'll tear it down if you want! By the way, don't be too moved, there will be more opportunities like this in the future It's on, hehehe..."

But he stopped laughing immediately.

Joshua exhaled with a heavy face. Obviously, what he wanted was not the steering wheel.

He walked to the car door, picked up a roller from the pile of disassembled parts, then picked up the bundle of cables on the ground, gave Gad a meaningful look, turned his head and left.

Gad looked at the cable in Joshua's hand, threw away the steering wheel on his shoulder decisively, and trotted up: "Hey, where did you get the cable? Didn't you agree that I would do the physical work? Give me Give it to me and I'll get it!"

It wasn't until he stood on the edge of the cliff and glanced down that Joshua realized how many bird nests Gad called the "several" bird nests.

Is it an exaggeration to say that it is a cliff? Although the angle is relatively steep, it is still easy to find a place to stay. But the crux of the problem is that the place where you can stay is basically occupied by the group of big hairless birds. There are also a hundred or so bird's nests.

Because of the shade all the year round, this cliff is indeed a good geomantic place for nesting and raising children, so they used small stones to stick to the stone wall to build a simple nest, and there were a few round eggs lying in each nest in twos and threes.

Not to mention whether those big birds will politely let them pass, those nests are too simple, if you accidentally break their eggs and knock them off, just look at their hook-like beaks and sharp points As far as the paws are concerned, they are not so negotiable.

The cable that Joshua pulled out from under the seat was only about 20 meters long. Gad tied one end of the rope to Joshua and the other to himself, leaving five or six meters in between.

He pulled the rest together and hung it around Joshua's waist.

In order to make sure everything was safe, he pulled the rope buckle on Joshua's body a few more times, and finally asked softly, "Are you ready?"

Joshua nodded and said, "I'll go ahead."

The rocks on the cliff were severely weathered, and large and small stones kept falling down. They moved down step by step, paying attention not only to the top of their heads, but also to their feet.

At this time, it was the beginning of the heat wave, and the group of big hairless birds drooped their heads lazily, and most of them were still on the verge of being conscious or drowsy.

Joshua bowed and walked past those big birds, landing lightly and slowly, trying to avoid making too much noise, sometimes he would turn around and ask in a low voice to discuss the next route with Gad .

"Go down from here, or keep going?" Joshua asked, pointing to a balcony below.

The terrace was directly below them, the vertical distance was less than three meters, and the widest part was about fifty centimeters, but there was a raised stone between them and the terrace.

It is somewhat difficult to go down from here, but if you go forward and come back, it will take at least half an hour longer.

Gad came over and said without hesitation: "I'll pull you, you go down first."

Joshua agreed. He put Gad's arm on his back and lowered one leg. After the toes found a point of strength on the slightly protruding stone, he put down the second leg, and then he let go of Gad. Climb the crevices and rough rock walls and slide down slowly.

Gad was half lying on the ground, holding the rope that tied Joshua tightly in his hands, and followed his every move with his eyes, until about seven or eight minutes later, Joshua finally raised his head and made a gesture towards him. After making an OK gesture, he was relieved.

In terms of survival in the wild, Joshua can be regarded as an expert. Of course, Gad is no exception, but his experience is even richer than Joshua.

Without any assistance or protection, he got down from the top in less than 5 minutes. As soon as his toes landed on the terrace, he reached out and wrapped his arms around Joshua's waist.

"Oh, it's a bit crowded!" He said maliciously, "You don't mind, do you?"

Although this terrace is about one meter long, both ends are relatively narrow, and it is indeed a bit crowded for two big men to stand in the middle.

"Lead the way!" Joshua said with a sullen face, because just now he retreated a little to the left in order to give Gad a wider space, and then they just had to go to the right.

Before turning around, Gad actually kissed him on the face: "De Ling!"

Joshua felt that he really hated this guy who pushes forward more and more!

Every two steps forward, Gad had to turn his head to take a look, which greatly slowed down their progress.

"Focus!" Joshua had to emphasize again.

Gad stretched out a hand: "It's not easy to walk here, I'll hold you!"

Joshua stuck to the cliff like a gecko, glanced at the rock wall that was so narrow that he couldn't stand on it, curled his lips, and held Gad's hand reluctantly.

A strong support came from the palm of his hand, he took a light step forward and stepped over, but Gad stepped on the ground, and the whole person fell down at an extremely fast speed.

The author has something to say: Gad: Big and thick! [smirk]

Joshua: Actually you don't need to say it twice... [indifferent face]
