Chapter 352: Desperate Place
As the old saying goes: Take your life while you can.
Seeing that the Voldemort poacher who had plotted against him was slapped to the ground by "Baby", Su Yun quickly turned over and climbed up a few steps, pulled over his backpack and hit the human skull twice - the Voldemort poacher immediately embraced the earth again.
Su Yun was the type of person who would always remember to finish off the enemy when playing games, but considering that this was not a game, he could only grab the wildly growing branches and vines around him to tie up the poacher's hands and feet, then picked up a handful of leaves, squeezed them into a ball, and stuffed them tightly into his mouth.
After dealing with this enemy, Su Yun looked up and saw that "Baby" was happily picking up the tender branches and leaves around it and eating them with a crunch, looking like no one could stop it from eating.
Fortunately, Su Yun had packed some dried bamboo shoots in her backpack just in case.
I took out new bamboo shoots and shook them in front of it. The "baby" paused for a moment, then held the leaves it had not finished eating and reached forward. After its front legs touched the ground, it continued to follow Su Yun's bamboo shoots and move forward.
Su Yun originally wanted to find a nearby cave or a place with dense branches and leaves to hide the panda, and then go back to support Zha Lan. However, not long after they walked, "Baobao" suddenly called a few times, and regardless of the temptation of the bamboo shoots, it trotted off into the dense forest at the foot of a hill.
In terms of speed alone, Su Yun was not unable to catch up with "Baby"'s current jogging speed, but when she saw several huge black and white figures flashing in the green of the dense forest over there, she subconsciously stopped.
After confirming that "Baobao" had already followed its fellows into the depths of the dense forest, Su Yun put aside some of his worries and quickened his pace, chasing the faint sound back to the battlefield behind.
I ran forward, picking off branches and leaves. The faint sounds of fighting gradually faded as I got closer. Suddenly, my feet bumped into a soft object. I looked down and saw that it was the poacher with an anesthetic needle stuck in his chest.
Going further ahead, the chaotic figures interweaving together could not discern any famous moves or postures; it was simply a desperate fight between trapped beasts: Zha Lan said that he had joined the army when he was young, but in fact, during the short time he spent in there, he did not learn much fighting skills or anything like that.
However, after he was fired, the ruthlessness that he had developed since childhood to work his way up from the bottom has not diminished to this day. Whether it was his slightly unfamiliar lock-picking skills before or his desperate fight now, they were all based on the bloodiness that was nurtured by the environment and atmosphere in which he grew up.
And it was with this fighting spirit that he fought to support himself. He used the tranquilizer launcher and Swiss Army knife in his hand to ambush the poachers chasing them, and at the same time snatched the weapons from the poachers' hands. He managed to defeat the larger force with a smaller one and achieved the current situation.
Fortunately, in order to catch other animals as well as pandas, most of the weapons these poachers have are tranquilizer launchers. They look like guns but their power and speed are not as strong as real guns. This is why Zha Lan succeeded in ambushes many times by deliberately and unintentionally splitting them up.
But at this moment, Zha Lan couldn't handle it alone - the poacher leader was holding a real gun loaded with bullets.
During the confrontation, a figure was spotted running behind the enemy. Just as Zha Lan thought to herself that something was wrong, the figure slightly bent down and revealed a familiar face from under the branches...
So it can be said that Zha Lan's acting skills have improved recently. Although there was a flash of surprise in his eyes as if to say "Why did you come back?", his expression was still as tense as ever, as if he was still confronting the poacher leader.
There was no fair fight in this situation. Su Yun not only waited for the right moment to strike, she even picked up a thick dead branch on the ground - in Hong Kong street fighting, weapons are everywhere.
As an intelligent human being, of course we should learn from our predecessors who had the courage to fight all kinds of enemies to the end, and make good use of everything around us that can enhance our fighting power.
Seeing the right opportunity and approaching the distance, Su Yun, without saying a word, raised the thick dead branch in his hand and shook it hard!
The poacher leader screamed and fell to the ground, and the gun in his hand loosened subconsciously - Zha Lan was used to snatching the enemy's weapons to attack the enemy, so he immediately reached out and caught the fallen weapon firmly, then raised it up and aimed.
Seeing that he aimed at the poacher leader's head without hesitation, Su Yun had no time to stop him and ask him to change his position. The sound of the trigger being pulled appeared at the same time as the poacher leader turned over and raised his eyes with despair -
Click.
Missed shots?!
That look of despair immediately turned into a look of satisfaction at having succeeded, following Zha Lan's look of surprise.
"He has already run out of bullets!" Su Yun bent down and shrank her body to avoid the dagger that the poacher leader was stabbing at her abdomen, and shouted quickly.
The one who reacted the fastest among the three was undoubtedly Su Yun. She had already dodged and finished speaking when Zha Lan pounced on the poacher leader who had launched a surprise attack on her.
Then, Su Yun dodged and then kicked out a side kick. In order to save Su Yun from the sudden attack, Zha Lan threw the poacher leader to the ground, and became an innocent bystander of this kick...
There were not many flat places in this forest. The ground was rugged and crooked. The poacher leader was kicked with all his strength by Su Yun, and he rolled towards the big slope behind him with Zha Lan who was on him.
In an instant, the two were sent far away by the merciless acceleration of gravity...
Su Yun naturally didn't want this to happen.
So she hurriedly grabbed branches and bushes and chased after him all the way down. At least she found a slightly flatter place and used the power of a tree trunk to pull up Zha Lan, who was thrown all over the place. As for the other one who continued to accelerate downwards, she could only hope for the best...
Although Su Yun and the other probably both hoped that this guy would never come back.
After placing Zha Lan next to the trunk of a big tree, Su Yun continued to patrol the surroundings with dead branches and counted them. After confirming that there were enough people lying on the ground, he quickly followed the same method he had used before against Voldemort, grabbing the wildly growing branches and vines around them to tie them up tightly and then stuffing leaves into their mouths.
There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, but the leaves here blocked out the sun, so Su Yun could not check the sky. He could only slightly feel the dampness and oppression in the air. Then he quickened his actions and dragged the tied poachers into a nearby dense bush.
After using vines to tie them all up into a ball, the sky was already quite dark, and Su Yun could already feel tiny drops of water dripping onto her body bit by bit from time to time.
Hearing the thunder, he knew it was something to be dealt with easily. Su Yun hurried back to Zha Lan, who was still unconscious, and dragged him to the other side of the cave.
By the time they entered the cave to take shelter from the rain, Su Yun's back was already soaked, so she could only quickly take out the only set of clean clothes from her backpack, and held the umbrella that had not been used because of dragging people at the door to block the wind and rain, and then quickly changed her clothes in the dark.
However, Su Yun's knowledge was not enough to perform such a difficult operation as rubbing two sticks together to make fire. At this time, Zha Lan, who had just woken up, came over, fumbled to take the half-dry and half-wet branch in Su Yun's hand, and tinkered with it for a while, producing a few sparks.
"There's a fire!" Su Yun quickly gathered the toilet paper ball and lit it. Then, in the dim light, she saw the pair of blue eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.
"I can't see." When he said this, his voice trembled slightly, which was rare.
Su Yun waved her hands in front of his eyes hesitantly, and tried to verify it a few more times. Finally, after discovering that Zha Lan really couldn't see anything, her heart, which had originally escaped a disaster, suddenly sank.
After racking his brains for a while and following the explanation in some medical TV dramas that the blood congestion in the brain caused by the collision pressed on the optic nerve, which was why he couldn't see temporarily, Su Yun persuaded him to calm down.
"Maybe a good night's sleep will help." It was windy and rainy now, and Su Yun could only comfort her in this way.
Knowing that he couldn't make any noise now, Zha Lan could only nod obediently, and sat aside with Su Yun's nap blanket, waiting for Su Yun to help him dry his coat.
As he fell asleep wearing his clothes that still smelled of burnt leaves, he subconsciously wrapped himself tightly in the small blanket that could only cover most of him.
Unfortunately, when I woke up with anticipation and anxiety, there was still endless darkness before my eyes.
I don't know when or where I am, and even the breath of the people around me has disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly, a huge panic of being abandoned arose in his heart.
Therefore, when Su Yun limped back with the wild fruits he had picked with great difficulty, what greeted him was not gratitude and comfort, but angry and sharp accusations.
"I fell down trying to get something to eat, and you scolded me like this?!" If Su Yun hadn't considered that Zha Lan's current state was her responsibility, she would have wanted to leave him here. "Do you know that we are lost now and can't find a way out? If I leave, you can only stay in this deep forest and wait for death!"
"I thought you would abandon me, this burden..." He said softly, and then lowered his voice, "If you want to leave, why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm not going to abandon my friends!" Su Yun replied unhappily, and then became even more angry at his questioning, "Will it be of any use if I wake you up?! It's better to let you rest well, maybe you can recover - people with head injuries are not suitable for much activity!"
"You really have given up on me?" I don't know what Zha Lan's train of thought was, but he misinterpreted Su Yun's explanation to mean this.
Su Yun could not help it, as he was struck by lightning for being well-intentioned. He wanted to throw the wild fruits in his hand to the ground to enhance the momentum of the quarrel. However, because of the Chinese people's nature, they were reluctant to part with these "foods", so he put them aside gently and then started to quarrel with him with his hands on his hips.
Zha Lan was truly from the lower class, so his insults were naturally vulgar, something that even an educated young man of the future like Su Yun had never seen before. As the argument went on, Su Yun, who had some wild fruits to replenish her energy, became irritated by his paranoid logic, and her voice even began to tear up during the argument.
Unexpectedly, this "show of weakness" made Zha Lan, who had firmly held the upper hand in the quarrel, panic. After whispering an apology, he groped his way over to comfort her - because of his limited vision and Su Yun's subconscious avoidance of him, he almost fell forward.
After finally groping his way over and sitting next to Su Yun, he whispered incomprehensible soft words as if he was coaxing a child, and wanted to reach out to wipe the tears from Su Yun's face.
"Don't treat me like a gullible little girl!" If Su Yun hadn't been still angry, she would have laughed at his behavior.
Anyway, Zha Lan couldn't see anything now, so she didn't have to worry about maintaining her beautiful image. Su Yun's nose was sore, and her facial features were distorted by real crying. The bleak future, food shortages, and tired teammates, coupled with the complex feelings of having to swallow her pain in silence but still being misunderstood as a bad person by stupid teammates, made her feel wronged and desperate.
It was as if all the negative emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke through the dam of reason at this moment, and then I happened to be in front of people who no longer needed to worry about maintaining their image, so I could completely throw away all pretense and cry my heart out.
Su Yun was crying out of spite of her mood. You didn't need to watch to know how ugly she was crying. The person on the other side felt guilty and irritated. He stretched out his hands and fumbled to wipe her tears: "Didn't I apologize to you?!"
Su Yun really wanted to reply to him with something crude but reasonable like "If apologies are useful, then why do we need the police?" However, when she vaguely saw him wiping her tears with a look of disgust on his face, she howled even louder in anger.
It seemed as if he was determined to go against him to the end.
"Have you made enough noise?!" Perhaps realizing that Su Yun was deliberately going against her, Zha Lan could not help but yell: The speed at which her tears were falling was much slower than before, but her mouth was howling even louder than before. Wasn't this intentional?
Su Yun, who had a sense of fun in other people's troubles, didn't care about him. She just howled without tears, like a naughty kid who was playing tricks on her...
She had begun to feel a little proud in her heart, thinking that Zha Lan could not do anything to her now and could only endure the noise. Suddenly, the hand that was originally on her cheek to wipe her tears moved down. He scratched, and then pinched her chin hard——
While his hot lips and tongue were pressing down, his other hand had already moved his entire body before she could react, using the weight advantage to forcefully hold down her body, and all the subsequent reactions and counterattacks.
How would a person who normally gets dizzy after drinking two or three bottles of beer feel after suddenly guzzling a large glass of brandy?
Different from the previous sweet and sour first kiss like fruit wine, this time the kiss was simply the most typical deep kiss between adults, even with a bit of love and hate in it.
But this is not entirely out of love or desire, but is permeated with many complex emotions, as if a drowning person desperately grasps the only floating wood, or as if a trapped beast in a fight is trying its best to suppress the opponent's momentum...
No matter how Su Yun struggled and fought back, he used his familiar skills to hold her down with a single move. The neck, clavicle, shoulders, waist and other more sensitive points on the body than usual were the real weaknesses of Su Yun, a king of talk.
With just a light touch, her counterattack instantly weakened, like a hedgehog whose weak spot was poked, helpless but still insisting on her desperate struggle - she even wanted to bite people!
The rusty smell of blood in the mouth actually aroused a deep desire that was originally nonexistent.
After he felt that the person he was controlling was really about to suffocate, he slowly loosened his grip a little, then listened to the chaotic breathing nearby and smiled with satisfaction -
"That's the only way I know how to coax a woman."
