Little Poor Online Wilderness Survival

Chapter 74 Alligator Swamp 8

The rainstorm came so suddenly that there was no chance for anyone to react.

The weather in the swamp is changeable. It was sunny in the morning, but now it is only five o'clock in the afternoon, but the black clouds have shrouded the forest and swamp, making the land no longer sunny.

It's still dark in the daytime.

Like the sky collapsing and the ground sinking, the dark sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.

Tang Xingrui wiped the water off his face, and shouted to Dai Zihao beside him through the rain curtain: "Find a place to hide from the rain first!"

The rain was so loud that it covered Tang Xingrui's voice.Dai Zihao recognized the shape of his lips before he knew what Tang Xingrui was talking about, so he nodded.

Salamak also agrees with the proposal.

They don't have time to build a shelter. The most important thing for them now is to leave this forest and water as soon as possible. time, and the danger of getting lost.

But here is all a swamp, and there are no caves for them to hide in.

A thunder fell, as if it was exploding in his ears, Tang Xingrui even felt that he couldn't hear anything for a moment, and it took a few seconds to slow down, but the buzzing in his ears was too loud, covering all the sounds, He watched Dai Zihao's mouth open and close, but he couldn't hear anything.

Dai Zihao noticed Tang Xingrui's condition, reached out and pressed his shoulder, and slowed down to shape his lips.

"Leave...the surface of the water...quick!"

It's a blessing that this mine didn't blow up in their current swamp. If there is a mine that blows up in this swamp, they are all finished!

Water conducts electricity, and there's water everywhere!

They quickly found the upwind direction and waded through the water that had reached below their chests.

Salamak had already found a trunk that could barely bear his own weight.Tang Xingrui and Dai Zihao also found a tree. They wrapped themselves in wide palm leaves, let themselves lean against the thick trunk, shrank themselves very small, put their hands on their knees, and their heads placed between the knees.

When you encounter a storm in a dense jungle, all you have to do is to hide yourself in the dense bushes to reduce the chance of being hit.

The rain was so heavy that I could barely keep my eyes open.

Tang Xingrui stepped on the forked branch and shrunk himself into a ball.Dai Zihao was not far away from him, exposed to the storm in the same posture.

Although rain is uncomfortable, lightning is what they should worry about the most.In country m, nearly a hundred people die from lightning every year, almost all of them are in danger outdoors, and a quarter of them are standing under trees.

Tang Xingrui shrank himself even tighter.He covered his ears with his hands, but the sound of the torrential rain and the loud noise of lightning still exploded in his ears, rumbling into one piece.

Drones have been grounded, the outdoor signal is affected, and it is impossible to continue flying in this weather.

Tang Xingrui thought to himself, didn't it mean that the string of red strings on his feet had been untied, why is it still so unlucky?He felt that the master was a liar, full of nonsense, just to earn his 140 yuan bill...

In such an environment, it was difficult for him to calm down and his mind was full of random thoughts.Because once he stops, he will involuntarily have negative emotions such as pessimism and despair.

So Tang Xingrui would rather let himself be unconstrained, than think that Lightning would use the tree he was hiding in as the tree of choice, and how mature he would be after a lightning strike.

The tree shadows in the distance are densely arranged, dancing and twisting, like the long hair of a witch, entangled the prey with claws and teeth, and slowly watched it die.The wind blew up and made the trees whine, like the hysterical roar of evil spirits, and also like the sharp laughter of a woman, trying to pierce their eardrums.

Everything around is thick ink, as if it can suck people into this endless swamp, pull you into the bottomless darkness, and bury the villagers who died here.

With his eyes closed, Tang Xingrui, who had no idea what he was thinking, suddenly caught a voice that was out of place under such a noisy and terrifying background sound.

It's... the roar of a beast, full of struggle and pain.

He curled up his fingers nervously, raised his head to look around anxiously, and bumped into Dai Zihao who also raised his head.

"What... what?" He asked with his mouth, desperately denying the answer in his heart.

Dai Zihao felt his gaze, but couldn't see Tang Xingrui's mouth clearly.But even so, he could sense what the other party wanted to ask, so he shook his head and stretched out his hand to draw a word in the air.

"Bear."

The lightning tore through the shady scene, turning Dai Zihao's face pale, and his expression was more solemn than ever.

In the next second, a huge thunder crashed, and the world returned to darkness.

The rainwater caught on the leaves was blown by the wind, and poured into Tang Xingrui's back collar like splashing water. The icy rainwater flowed down his spine, making him shiver from the cold.

Not only do they have to face the threat of lightning, but they are also told that a grizzly bear is waiting for them in an unknown place not far away.

Tang Xingrui gritted his teeth.

There was another thunder.

The sound of thunder was accompanied by the sound of trees falling down. Tang Xingrui watched purple arcs appear on the distant water surface, crackling and splashing.He grabbed the clothes on his knees with his fingers and bit his lower lip, making sure that no part of his bare skin touched the tree trunk under his feet.

The roar of the beast was more painful, but... also closer.

Tang Xingrui finally saw the grizzly bear.

It is nearly two and a half meters tall, standing upright as high as a floor, and is wading heavily in the water at this time. The storm has affected its sense of smell, and it is only now that it sees that there are other people in the rain curtain in the distance. biology.

Tang Xingrui quickly judged that this was an injured grizzly bear.

It is looking for shelter.

The three of them confronted the grizzly bear stiffly.

The thunder had just struck, and they could not go anywhere, could not leave their shelter, for nearly half an hour.

To be bitten and eaten by wild beasts, or to be struck to death by lightning when leaving here?

Tang Xingrui didn't want to choose any option.

Grizzly let out a deep roar, similar to the threat of a beast, and the beast pupil looked at them vigilantly, and made enough moves before attacking.

Tang Xingrui moved his body, and slowly changed his posture before not irritating the grizzly bear. He pursed his lips and looked at it, and touched the handle of the knife on the back of his waist.Dai Zihao also changed his posture, staring at the grizzly bear's every move with calm eyes.

And the closest to it, Saramak's whole body was tense, and his fingers were so nervous that they twitched nervously.

Another bolt of lightning strikes down, and at this moment, the close situation is interrupted by this bolt of lightning.Grizzly seemed to take a few steps back in fear.Tang Xingrui stared at its figure closely in the rain, not daring to relax in the slightest.

However, the grizzly bear heard the roar of thunder, and after taking a few steps back, it stopped attacking them. Instead, it angrily slapped the tree beside it, and then found a tree that could bear its huge weight, and climbed up. He climbed up, shrunk himself into a ball, licked the wound, but still looked at the three people in front of him.

Tang Xingrui squinted his eyes. He vaguely saw in the pitch-black rain that there were burn marks on the bear's body, and the wound on its entire back was hideous.It seems that the roar heard just now is that the bear was struck by lightning, but it survived by luck, only seriously injured.

But how aggressive is a badly injured adult grizzly bear?Will it just stay there?

No one can guarantee.

This is a smoke bomb.

Tang Xingrui's body was tense, and he watched the grizzly bear motionless, not daring to miss the slightest movement of it.

Dai Zihao looked this way, and he tapped the tree trunk under him with the wooden stick in his hand, making a little noise, which wouldn't disturb the grizzly bear, but could be heard by Tang Xingrui.

Tang Xingrui turned his head to look at him.

Dai Zihao stretched out his hand to him, he was stunned, and then put his hand on it.

Dai Zihao's fingers were icy cold, drenched thoroughly by the rain.He gently squeezed Tang Xingrui's fingers, signaling him to relax.

"Don't move, just take a look."

The itchy palm was Dai Zihao writing on his palm.Tang Xingrui recognized it, then nodded at him.

Saramark saw the two of them communicating and gestured to them what to do. The grizzly bear was 50 meters away from him, which was too close.His palms were already sweating from tension.

Tang Xingrui made a gesture of being calm and calm, and then gestured for him to back away slowly if he had a chance.

Salamak nodded.

The air fell into a deathly stillness, and there was no other sound except the thunder and rain.

Lightning illuminated the sky as if it were day.

"Boom—"

A huge thunder exploded in the ear, startling the animals in the swamp.

But Tang Xingrui couldn't hear it now.

That thunder was too close to him.He only saw a flash of white light in front of him, and the tree not far away was split in half obliquely.The fallen tree fell into the water.

At that moment, Tang Xingrui's heart was clenched tightly, his whole body went numb, his senses were instantly deprived, his eyes went blank, he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't receive signals from the outside world at all, even his breathing stopped .

The whole person did not move for a long while.

It wasn't until he was embraced by a warm embrace that he regained his breath and came to his senses.

Just now, I brushed shoulders with death.

"What are you doing here? Go back!" Tang Xingrui took a deep breath and quickly pushed Dai Zihao away.

The human body is conductive, so his contact with Dai Zihao will undoubtedly kill two people at once!

Dai Zihao was not annoyed when he was pushed away, he pulled Tang Xingrui back, put his right hand on his left shoulder from behind, patted it lightly, and then stroked the back of his neck with his palm, as if to Soothe a furry critter.

"It's okay," he pressed Tang Xingrui's cold face against Tang Xingrui's cheek, "don't be afraid."

Tang Xingrui rested his chin on his shoulder and slowly recovered his breathing while leaning on his familiar embrace.

He said, "I was just...not afraid."

Dai Zihao didn't refute at all: "Yes."

"It was so sudden, I didn't expect it..."

"Ah."

"Then... why are you here? Go back quickly." Tang Xingrui said, and wanted to push Dai Zihao again.

Dai Zihao didn't comfort him with an "um" this time, but it took a long time, so long that Tang Xingrui wondered if his voice was too low, and when the sound of rain covered his words so the other party didn't hear him, he just watched Seeing that Dai Zihao seemed to be smiling, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in a slight arc.

"I am afraid."

That's why I want to come and hug you.

Tang Xingrui froze in place, and after a while he let out a short "ah", and then he realized that his nose was sore, and he raised his hand to wipe his nose as a cover-up: "Then you... don't be afraid, I hold you you."

"Ah."

"I think the rope is still useful, at least I survived." Tang Xingrui lowered his head and lowered his eyes.He was too cold, there was no place in his body that was warm.Dai Zihao was also cold, and they could only hug each other to keep warm.

"It will be fine."

"Ah Hao, I'm a little worried about Lao Li, is he okay?"

"No, he's very powerful." Dai Zihao answered Tang Xingrui's words.

He wasn't simply comforting Tang Xingrui, this was his real evaluation of Lao Li.Old Li Man looked so-so and weak, but he was actually not as weak as he appeared.

"I'm cold, and your hands are cold too."

"Ah."

Some people always say that Dai Zihao is cold, even if they are in this situation, it is difficult for the other party to say a word when comforting him.But Tang Xingrui thought that this was enough, he felt that there was no more reassuring existence in the world than Dai Zihao's answer to him.

The rain curtain that covered the sky isolated this place into another world, a dark and gloomy world that seemed to swallow everything up.

The grizzly was still licking his wound quietly there, watching them, never leaving.

They reached an unspoken agreement with the injured grizzly - wait for the rain to stop.

Then, everything is up to God.

The rain was still falling, the branches were lashing frantically, and there was burning pain in the face, but no one dared to move.

The three of them and one bear formed a wonderful confrontation. They watched each other quietly, wary of each other, and reached a delicate balance.

The rain continued for two hours without stopping. This was the first time Tang Xingrui encountered such a heavy rain. If it continued to rain, they didn't have to walk, they just swam out without stopping.

In fact, the water level is now up to the neck, which is not good news for all the contestants.

When it fell for about three hours, it finally turned from thunderstorms to moderate rain.

When he was sure that there would be no more lightning, Dai Zihao immediately told them to leave quickly.

"Come on!"

Seeing them gesturing to him, Saramak couldn't stay for a moment. Watching the grizzly bear startled by their movements vigilantly, he jumped down slowly and submerged in the water.

The grizzly raised its huge head, looked at them on all fours, and let out a roar so loud that the nearby trees vibrated slightly.

Tang Xingrui also jumped into the water, trying to avoid making eye contact with the grizzly bear, and slowly backed away, and then plunged into the water, never to be seen again.

Grizzly bared its teeth and howled many times in the direction they were leaving, and slapped the bear's paw on the tree anxiously and anxiously.

Under the same amplitude, the underwater sound is weaker than that in the air. In addition, the eardrum is under the pressure of water pressure, so Tang Xingrui only heard a vague cry.He couldn't see Dai Zihao's figure clearly, so he could only keep up with his feeling, and when his hand touched the other's ankle, he felt relieved for a while.

The grizzly has been staring nervously at the surface of the water, and it took a long time to be sure that they would not come out to attack him, so he lay down again, licking his wound and his eyes dimmed.

After the amount of water increased, the speed of the water flow was much faster. Dai Zihao felt the slight direction of the water flow and swam forward.

Under such long-distance high-intensity swimming, the best posture is to swim sideways. Although all kinds of green algae floating on the water look greasy and disgusting, they are not picky at all in such an environment. Conditions, Tang Xingrui simply treats himself as a robot, if he can't see or feel it, he won't have that disgusting feeling.

I don't know how far I swam, but Dai Zihao didn't stop until his arms were sore.

Probably due to the terrain, the water level here has dropped drastically, reaching the chest and abdomen, where they can walk upright.

Tang Xingrui stood up from the water, took off his coat for the first time, pressed it into the water, and then lifted the clothes by the four corners. It was full of water, and he put the clothes full of water in the water. On the top of his head, the filtered water washed down the foreign matter on his body, and after a few times in a row, his upper body became much cleaner.

Shaking off the clothes, it was full of residual algae plants and dead branches and leaves.

Dai Zihao also dealt with it a little bit, and the two stopped in place and waited for Saramark.

After a while, Salamak followed and emerged from the water.

"Where are we going now?" He wiped his face and asked, water dripping from his body.

The rain is still falling, but it is much lighter, and it is estimated that it will stop completely in the middle of the night.

Dai Zihao was silent for a while, then said, "Find a place to rest first."

The water is too cold, taking away the body temperature, they must return to the ground as soon as possible, otherwise even in April, they will be in danger of hypothermia.

The reason why Dai Zihao was silent was that they would not have a good night.

Cold and hungry, they couldn't make a fire even after it rained, so they could only endure.

Of course it’s good to get through it, but if you can’t get through it... I hope the drone can find them quickly.

The three of them were silent and walked westward in silence.They couldn't stand the exhaustion of their physical strength, so they could only build the simplest shelter.

Unexpectedly, I walked 200 meters forward, advancing in the dark, and heard a small voice ringing in my ear.

"Fuck, what's coming again?"

Tang Xingrui was taken aback, this voice...

"Old Li!" he yelled.

"Tang Xingrui?!" Lao Li crawled out from the dark place in the distance, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, only to see that there seemed to be more than one person, "Is Brother Hao here? I thought something scared me, hurry up!" come over!"

Tang Xingrui and the others went there, only to realize that the place Lao Li was looking for was really spacious.

At the bottom is a hollow half-trunk, on which an A-shaped shelter is built, and palm leaves are layered on top of it, which has a good effect of sheltering from the rain.

Tang Xingrui sighed: "Old Li, where did you find this?"

"I built it before it rained this afternoon, and I didn't expect it to come in handy. Come in quickly," Old Li said after seeing their miserable appearance, "What's the matter? You made yourself so miserable?"

"Don't mention it." Tang Xingrui wiped his face to wipe off the rain, and then he raised his legs and was about to go up.Unexpectedly, he accidentally knocked his calf on the way, and he froze, then he climbed up as if nothing had happened, and then turned his head and dragged Salamak up. When Dai Zihao arrived, the other party also came up with his hands supported.

Salamark was standing behind Tang Xingrui at the time, and naturally saw his stagnation, and gave him a worried look.Tang Xingrui made a booing gesture calmly.Salamak hesitated for the last moment, but nodded.

Lao Li looked at this tough and rough guy curiously, and Tang Xingrui introduced the two of them to each other.

Lao Li was born with a social aura, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten to know Dai Zihao well.He and Salamak have only met for 10 minutes, and even the other party's Chinese is not very good, but they have already hooked up and made an appointment to have a drink together next time.

Whoever reads it doesn't say a word.

Lao Li chatted with Salamak for a while, then turned his head to look at the two famous unlucky guys, and saw that they were staying in the corner.Even if they had a shelter, they didn't have a fire, and their clothes were wet and sticky to their bodies, but now the temperature outside was obviously much higher than the temperature of their skin, and the heat dissipated faster when they took it off, so they could only endure it.

Tang Xingrui looked at the wound on Dai Zihao's arm. The wound had re-opened, and the edges were white and swollen.

"How did this happen?" Lao Li leaned over to look, frowning and asked them.

"Ask him." Tang Xingrui raised his chin and told him to ask the man with the downcast face.

"That's it." Dai Zihao said, no waves could be heard in his voice.

Lao Li said beside him, "I don't know if it was scratched", while touching his body, he took out three okras and handed them to them, one for each of them.

"Fortunately, I still left some food. Seeing that you guys probably didn't eat, let's make up for it first." He said, "What have you guys gone through?"

A small piece of okra is not only filling the stomach, but it is also enough for the toothpaste festival, but it is the only food they have eaten in more than 30 hours.Tang Xingrui talked to Lao Li about their general experience while eating, and Lao Li sighed.

"I used to think that nothing can be called unlucky in the wild. Who knew that the bad luck came from the two of you. Not everyone can be like you and encounter all the bad things here." He He smacked his lips, recalled his field experience in the past few days, and finally made a summary.

"Without the two of you, the game is so simple."

Tang Xingrui fiddled with the red rope on his ankle, and weakly retorted: "Yeah, it's not that bad luck, is it?"

Lao Li snorted and made it clear that he didn't believe it.

"By the way, where's your drone?"

"I lost it, let's talk about it tomorrow, isn't yours here? They can find it."

That's right, Lao Li sat cross-legged.

No matter how big and comfortable this shelter is, it is impossible to accommodate four big men. They huddled together all night, sitting and waiting for dawn.

Lao Li didn't feel sleepy at first, but he was aroused by the surprise of seeing his brothers. They didn't look sleepy for the time being, and the rain outside gradually turned into light rain, dripping on the palm leaves. At this time, the atmosphere was just right, and Lao Li began to tell ghost stories.

Salamak was his only audience.

Tang Xingrui leaned his head on Dai Zihao's shoulder, hypnotizing himself that he couldn't hear anything, but he shuddered when Lao Li talked about the climax of the atmosphere.

Dai Zihao glanced at Lao Li with warning eyes.

Old Li shrugged: "Okay, if you don't let it, you won't let it go."

Saramark smiled and showed his white teeth: "You two have such a good relationship, more loving than my father and mother. I hope you will always be happy."

Lao Li patted the back of his head: "What are you talking about, you are so heartless, can these two be compared?"

"Why not?" Salamak rubbed the back of his head aggrievedly.

"Because..." Lao Li was about to speak when he heard Dai Zihao say something.

"Thank you."

Seeing Lao Li looking over, Tang Xingrui grinned at him: "Maybe I forgot to tell you, Ah Hao and I are a couple."

Lao Li's lips trembled a few times, and it took him a long time to utter a word.

"Fuck!"
