Chapter 66
"Yan Hong?"
Chen Yunliang was puzzled. Even though Yan Hong was not a very serious person usually, she would not tease her teammates for no reason at a time like this.
"Yeah!" Lu Shiyu nodded heavily.
"Originally, I just asked her to put me here, but she insisted on saying something. She was worried that I would run around and that there might be deformed creatures around. She thought it would be unsafe for me to be on the ground, so she put me in the tree!"
Chen Yunliang hissed, "She was worried about you so she put you in the tree. So how did you become like this?"
Lu Shiyu was speechless for a moment, hesitatingly saying, "I saw you guys didn't come over for a long time, and suddenly there was a loud noise over there, so I wanted to get down from the tree and take a look..."
"And then you hung yourself on the tree?"
“…”
Not saying anything is tantamount to consent.
Chen Yunliang sighed and directed everyone to make way while Yu Xian tried to find a way to get back up the tree, otherwise he would not be able to put her down.
"How do we get up here?"
Lu Shiyu tried to roll up his upper body, but he ran out of strength halfway through the struggle. After trying several times, he not only failed but also exhausted himself.
"I-I hate sit-ups!"
"Never mind, I'll help you."
Chen Yunliang was just about to go over and lend a hand when a strange howling sound suddenly came from not far away.
Chen Yunliang became alert instantly and turned around to see several deformed creatures that looked like wolves slowly walking out from behind a tree not far away. There were about five or six of them.
The wolf-like deformed creature had a pair of long ears like a rabbit, a tail that was curled like a cat, and four claws that were ridiculously large, as if they were covered with boxing gloves.
The deformed creature opened its fang-filled mouth, and its fishy, sticky, and yellow saliva formed threads between its upper and lower teeth, flowing through the gaps between its teeth and dripping onto the grass.
Several deformed creatures slowly formed a circle, as if they were planning to hunt down Chen Yunliang and Lu Shiyu.
Chen Yunliang took two steps back, leaned his back against the tree trunk, threw a rope to Lu Shiyu to go around the branches, and let Lu Shiyu pull the rope up. He then picked up the crossbow again and slowly pulled the mechanism to install the arrow.
Surrounded by wolves, Chen Yunliang only had a crossbow and a limited number of arrows. He couldn't help but sigh.
God wants to kill me.
The next moment, before anyone could react, Chen Yunliang had already shot an arrow in a flash, which hit a distorted creature right in the middle of its eyebrows. Then he shot another arrow before the distorted creatures realized it.
The deformed creature that was shot fell to the ground without even having time to let out a wail. Its body twitched twice instinctively and then became motionless.
When the other transformed creatures discovered that their companions had been killed, they no longer suppressed their beastly natures and suddenly launched an attack, pouncing towards Chen Yunliang like an arrow.
Another arrow.
One deformed creature fell, but it did not prevent the others from continuing to attack Chen Yunliang.
Before Chen Yunliang could load the arrow into the crossbow, he was knocked down by a deformed creature. Chen Yunliang hurriedly used the crossbow to jam the deformed creature's mouth, thus avoiding being bitten.
Chen Yunliang struggled to hold the crossbow with both hands. Facing the long mouth that was getting closer and closer to his face, Chen Yunliang's hands were even stuck with the saliva of the deformed creature.
Chen Yunliang gritted his teeth, pulled out the hand holding the arrow, and thrust it hard into the deformed creature's eyeball. After the eyeball was pierced, the deformed creature subconsciously opened its mouth, giving Chen Yunliang a chance to catch his breath. He then exerted force with his legs and kicked the deformed creature away.
Chen Yunliang rolled over and got up from the ground, pulled out another arrow from his back and loaded it into the crossbow.
The remaining few deformed creatures were completely enraged, and even when Chen Yunliang aimed at them, they still rushed towards him fearlessly.
The sharp fangs bit through the flesh, and Chen Yunliang felt as if the fangs had touched his bones, and vaguely heard the sound of bones cracking, which made his teeth ache.
The deformed creature kept biting Chen Yunliang's calves, making it impossible for him to aim accurately. As a result, the arrow that Chen Yunliang had originally aimed at his head lost its aim and hit his stomach.
It has no effect other than further enraging the aberrant creature.
The deformed creature bit Chen Yunliang's leg tightly and Chen Yunliang could feel his muscle tissue breaking like a rubber band, and it felt like it would not give up until it bit off a piece of flesh.
Chen Yunliang pulled out the arrow from its side and used all his strength to blind its two eyes, but it was still useless. The bloody mouth was still unwilling to let him go.
"Chen Yunliang! Catch it!"
A noose was thrown over. Chen Yunliang looked along one end of the rope and saw that Shi Yu did not choose to use the rope to go up or down the tree. Instead, he tied a knot at one end of the rope to make a noose and pulled the other end himself.
Chen Yunliang quickly understood what she meant. He picked up the lasso on the ground, wrapped it around the deformed creature's neck and fastened it tightly. Then he made a gesture to Lu Shiyu.
Lu Shiyu understood what he meant. He pulled the other end of the rope, used the branches and ropes, and utilized the principle of the fixed pulley to pull the rope to loosen the legs hanging on the tree and let himself fall down, then lifted up the deformed creature with his own weight.
The deformed creature instantly felt a suffocating sensation in its neck and subconsciously tried to breathe by opening its mouth. However, it let Chen Yunliang go when it opened its mouth, and it itself was not rescued and was dragged into the air.
At this time, Lu Shiyu also used this to land safely on the ground. Because her weight was not much heavier than the deformed creature, it was very difficult to pull it with human power. She could only use all her strength to never let go.
In the end, the deformed creature, which was hung by its neck in mid-air, died after struggling.
Lu Shiyu was still worried, so he pulled the rope and only let go after making sure the person was dead.
The body of the deformed creature fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, with its tongue still hanging out of its mouth.
The remaining deformed creatures lost the will to continue fighting after seeing their companions die tragically, and ran away in shame with their tails between their legs.
"Finally they're gone..." Lu Shiyu said, sweating profusely, "If the fight had continued, we'd have been in dire straits."
"hiss……"
Chen Yunliang tried to walk, but fell to the ground. Fortunately, he did not hit any small stones and cause secondary injuries.
"Don't move, let me take a look."
Lu Shiyu hurried forward to help Chen Yunliang sit up, and reached out to lift Chen Yunliang's trouser leg to check his injury. However, as soon as he touched his leg, Chen Yunliang gasped.
"What's wrong? Did I use too much force?"
Lu Shiyu was so scared that he quickly let go of his hand, fearing that he would hurt him again.
"It's okay, just a broken bone."
Chen Yunliang tore the fabric along the torn hole in his pants, revealing his bloody calf underneath.
There were several bean-sized wounds on his legs, blood was still oozing out of the holes, and large patches of bruises had appeared under the skin, red and purple, which was very unsettling to see.
However, these bite wounds were not what Chen Yunliang was worried about. Flesh injuries were not difficult to treat. What he was really worried about was problems inside his calf.
Chen Yunliang carefully pressed various parts of his calf with his fingers. Sometimes he pressed too hard and it hurt so much that he frowned.
After a rough examination, Chen Yunliang confirmed that not only were the bones broken, but many of the tendons inside were also broken, not to mention the blood vessels. It was a mess.
The worst thing is that the mouth of the deformed creature that bit him was definitely not clean. A large number of bacteria had entered Chen Yunliang's body through its teeth. The wound could be cured, but the potential hidden dangers could not.
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.
Chen Yunliang used the clean water he had prepared in advance to clean the wound slightly, and then began to use his supernatural powers on his leg.
The advantage of treating yourself is that you can more accurately find which injuries have not been fully healed. The disadvantage is that the pain is doubled because you have to focus on the wound and cannot even divert your attention.
Just the healing of the bones caused Chen Yunliang's forehead to hurt so much that he broke out in sweat.
Lu Shiyu consciously picked up a dagger and stood aside to guard, looking back from time to time. After a long while, Chen Yunliang's self-treatment was finally over.
Chen Yunliang stood up weakly with the help of the tree trunk and took two steps to make sure that he was completely cured. But at this time, Chen Yunliang already looked exhausted. On the one hand, his supernatural powers were consumed, and on the other hand, the pain was really unbearable, and enduring the pain was also very energy-consuming.
Seeing that Chen Yunliang was fine, Lu Shiyu asked what he had been wanting to ask.
"Why are you the only one here? Where are the others? How is Tang Zeyu?"
Chen Yunliang subconsciously pushed up his glasses and said, "The helicopter sent by the base has arrived. Chen Yunliang and Yan Hong have already gone to notify the captain."
Lu Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "The helicopter from the base is here? That's great! Should we be able to go back soon?"
Chen Yunliang shook his head solemnly and said, "Things are far more complicated than you imagine."
Chen Yunliang briefly told Lu Shiyu about the battle between Tang Zeyu and the mercenary captain and the excessive number of helicopters. Lu Shiyu was a little confused and it took him a while to figure out the whole incident.
"So, there's also a problem with the helicopters at those bases, and Tang Zeyu is still fighting that guy, right?"
"To put it simply, this is it."
Lu Shiyu suddenly scratched his head in annoyance and began to pace on the spot.
"What should I do then? Is there anything I need to do?"
"No need. The captain has already sent Shaoxing Yang and Yan Hong to help," Chen Yunliang said ruthlessly and bluntly. "You'll only hinder them if you go over there. All you can do now is find a safe place with no one around to hide. Don't get into trouble or get caught by the enemy until they finish dealing with this. That's all you can do."
Lu Shiyu was completely depressed. He picked up the backpacks of several people and said dejectedly, "Okay then..."
Chen Yunliang scratched his face and added, "But they've just finished fighting and they should really need to replenish their energy. Once you find a good place, prepare some food for them. Don't let them starve to death instead of being killed by the enemy."
"Um!"
Lu Shiyu was full of energy again. He carried the backpacks of the others and walked forward with Chen Yunliang to find a place to hide.
Finally, after walking for a while, the two came across a cave. Although it was not as big as Professor Chen’s cave camp, it could accommodate several people. The location was not conspicuous and there were other rocks as cover, making it a perfect place to use as a temporary stay.
On the way, Yu put his backpack in the cave, ready to find some vines and leaves nearby to make a door curtain like Professor Chen's, and hang it at the entrance of the cave as a cover, which could also confuse passers-by or deformed creatures.
Chen Yunliang stood up and wanted to say something, but was pushed back by Lu Shiyu.
"You're the one who got hurt. You should take a good rest first. Leave the work to me."
Seeing that Lu Shiyu looked energetic, Chen Yunliang didn't know what to say. He sat back in his seat and quietly watched Lu Shiyu working hard at the door.
In fact, they can just use camouflage cloth...
However, seeing that Lu Shiyu was quite happy, Chen Yunliang chose to keep his mouth shut.
