Chapter 255: Midnight Battle
Han Qingquan frowned, "Do you smell anything?"
"Yes," Yunshui Yao put his arm under his nose and turned his face away in disgust, "It stinks, it stinks to death."
"No," Han Qingquan shook his head, his nose twitching slightly, "It's not that smell."
Duan Jianghe also felt familiar. There was a foul smell, but there was another one. He looked around and suddenly exclaimed, "It's marsh gas." His face was solemn. "This area is all swamp, and there is a strong smell of marsh gas. We can't stay here for long. Let's go."
Not every swamp can form methane, and the four of them were really unlucky.
Without stopping, he quickly took a thick branch to explore the way and left.
The road in the swamp is difficult to walk on. There are not many places to step on. If you are not careful, you will step into the mud and it will be very difficult to walk.
The stench followed me everywhere, making my head feel dizzy.
Along the way, Duan Jianghe found a lot of herbs that were compatible with and counteracted biogas and asked everyone to smell them, so that they could keep going.
The only thing to be thankful for is that apart from the stench, there are no other living creatures.
The sun above their heads gradually set, the temperature in the swamp dropped rapidly, and the four of them shivered at the same time.
The swamp was too big to get out of in an afternoon, so we had to spend the night here.
"Let's go here." Lu Chaoyang took the lead and stopped. This area was covered with shrubs, and beneath some of the shrubs was also swampland. Fortunately, there was a lot of grass growing on the ground that could suppress methane.
Duan Jianghe picked a lot. "Crush it and put it under your nose before going to bed at night. It should have some effect. I will also mix some medicine powder and sprinkle it on top."
Yunshui Yao looked disgusted. He couldn't bring himself to touch this poop-like thing, so he turned his head away, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
Lu Chaoyang took out a bottle of water and gave it to the two girls. "Just wash your hands. We don't know when we can reunite with Big Brother and the others, so we need to use it sparingly. Let's set up the tent, and you guys get the food ready."
Han Qingquan nodded, "Okay."
Yunshui Yao sighed and wanted to take a shower.
The four of them divided the work and lay down in the tent before it got completely dark.
No matter whether it was the friends in the swamp, the friends in the thorn forest, or Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi, none of them could fall asleep soundly in such an environment, and they could only sleep lightly with their eyes closed.
At midnight, at exactly 12:00 a.m., the entire mountain range was blown by a strong wind like the one that blew off a parachute at noon. The team did not pay attention to the exact time, but guessed that it might be noon.
The wind howled fiercely, like the roar of a wild beast in the mountains. Lan Shiruo and her friends' container was fine, but the tents of the other friends were in a terrible state. They swayed in the strong wind and fell apart in a few seconds.
Friends who open their eyes and look at the dark screen
The Cangyuan Mountains were particularly cold after nightfall, and coupled with the strong wind, the friends who had lost their tents were shivering and hugging each other for warmth.
The strong wind did not last long. After half an hour, it blew all of the little friend's things into pieces and then stopped.
Your friends all pointed their middle fingers to the sky, showing their contempt for you.
After the wind stops, you can light a fire in the thorn forest and sprinkle the powder made by Duan Jianghe on it to drive away most mosquitoes.
But they couldn't do that in the swamp, and the mud soaked their clothes. They only had one protective suit on each of them. When they took off their outer coats, the inner ones were still wet. They were shivering with cold. It had been a long time since the end of the world.
This shows the benefits of having thick thighs.
The night passed quietly, and the demons who had been waiting for a long time came out together.
In the thorn forest, the gray and black mottled thorn-like branches began to wriggle, and actually stretched out long and thin blood-red forked tongues, swimming silently towards the three open spaces.
When he noticed someone's gaze moving, he stopped in time, his whole body stiff as a thorn branch.
Zhang Yun frowned slightly. "I remember there were no brambles here just now." She had thrown all the brambles at hand into the fire. Did she remember wrongly? Or was she dazzled?
Guo Zi followed Zhang Yun's gaze and didn't find anything unusual. However, when Zhang Yun reached out to pick up the bramble and throw it into the fire, the bramble moved slightly. If you didn't pay attention, you would think it was moved by the wind.
Guo Zi was shocked. "Don't touch me! Come here!" The moment he finished speaking, Zhang Yun instinctively withdrew her hand and leaped behind Guo Zi. Guo Zi's lightning strike swiftly struck out, slicing the tiny viper, which had opened its mouth wide and tried to bite Zhang Yun, into charcoal.
The sleepy Hanjia jumped up. What happened?
The gray and black mottled patterns of pit vipers give them a natural camouflage advantage in the thorn forest. In addition, after mutation, they collectively possess the ability of camouflage. Their bodies are no thicker than a little finger, making them even less likely to be discovered.
Zhang Yun was still frightened and almost reached out to pick it up.
Guo Zi grabbed Zhang Yun's hand, turned it over from left to right, and was relieved after confirming that there were no wounds. "Be careful, there may be many more hidden in the thorn forest." Guo Zi was not stupid at all during the battle. His whole body exuded a dazzling light.
Zhang Yun curled her lips, "Who said my Guo Zi is stupid? Isn't this handsome?"
Guo Zi's dark and handsome face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and he scratched the back of his head with a silly smile.
Why did Zhang Yun feel like she was being slapped in the face? This was simply too stupid to watch.
"Here it comes," he put his thoughts aside and threw out an icicle, freezing the viper that was quietly wandering over.
Who would have thought that as soon as he made a move, it was like poking a snake's nest, and countless vipers swam towards him frantically.
Guo Zi repeatedly sent out thunder and lightning, and asked Han Jia to roll in the pile of snakes. The two men and the beast were in a panic, and the number of vipers increased instead of decreasing.
Miaomiao and Ding Jiajia's situation was not much better. They had lost their tent and were sitting there in the cold. They simply got up and started chopping thorns. With one cut, blood came out. They were dumbfounded, "Why, the thorns are bleeding?" Miaomiao was born in a "five-good" family and grew up under the five-star red flag. The cruelest thing she had experienced was the apocalyptic town, and she didn't really understand the desolate mountains and wilderness of the apocalypse.
Ding Jiajia jumped three feet high and said, "Oh my god, run quickly. This thing is a snake that is good at camouflage. You are finished. Its family is coming to seek revenge on you." He had a playful smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was gloating.
Miaomiao was so angry, "We are now tied together, how can you run away?"
Ding Jiajia instantly slumped, "I'm so pitiful, I found a wife who is such a troublemaker."
Miaomiao took a full three seconds to react, then picked up her machete and chased after him. Her big iron ball was broken, and before she could make a new one, the machete was not working well. "Stop right there, let's talk it out. Who's the troublemaker? Who's your wife?"
Ding Jiajia screamed and hid, "The troublemaker is my wife, what's wrong? What's wrong? You told me to stop, so I stopped. How embarrassing."
The two idiots were chasing and fighting each other, but fortunately they didn't forget the important matter, which was to kill the snake. Miaomiao chopped down with a knife, but missed Ding Jiajia, and instead cut the attacking snake into two pieces.
Ding Jiajia used the wind blade to clear a path for herself to avoid accidentally stepping into a snake's nest. The wind blade swept down and killed many snakes.
These two are fighting fiercely, while the fat rat is shivering in the nest. The unscrupulous owner, don’t you know that rats are afraid of snakes? They are natural enemies. Help!
A viper with claws not as thick as a fat mouse
