Chapter 57: Mountaintop Cave



"Three, two, one!"

Bang!

The sound of gunfire echoed in the valley.

On such a cloudy night, no matter how good my shooting skills are, I still have to rely on luck. As the saying goes, seeing is believing. After all, ears are not as accurate as eyes. I don’t know what the result will be. After the gunshot, my ears had some tinnitus and were temporarily less sensitive. My hearing was affected, and I was in a blind spot.

“Hoo!”

The Bigfoot rushed over, grabbed my throat, pressed me to the ground, and squeezed my head with its right hand. The method was exactly the same as the one used to kill the soldier who wrote the diary. I was desperate. It was so powerful that I could not survive more than a few seconds in its hands. I lost this duel.

However, at this moment, my face was covered with hot and sticky liquid, and there was a fishy smell, it was blood! The big guy's hand gradually lost its strength. I could feel that it wanted to continue to exert more strength, but somehow it had loosened a lot. After a while, it wailed and its hands drooped from my body. Both hands were supporting the ground with all their strength, and I could hear the sound of blood flowing on the ground.

And just at this moment, the dark clouds dispersed and the moonlight poured down.

I saw the huge and strong Bigfoot lying helplessly on the ground with a conspicuous bloody hole on its forehead. It stared at the gun in my hand for a long time, then twitched a few times, its pupils dilated, and there was no sound.

It killed the gun's owner, and the gun will kill it at some point, and the cycle of revenge will continue.

My back still felt cold, even though I had practiced many times, but when the time really came, without a certain amount of luck, I would most likely miss. After all, there were too many environmental factors and unpredictable variables. This was also the least confident shot I had ever fired.

But I still shot it, and in the choice between me and it, who would survive, I narrowly won.

"Brother Zhou Bo, come and save me, I'm so scared, I don't want to stay here." Song Yingchun said in a crying voice.

I hurried over, took out my bayonet and used it to cut the canes on her body, freeing her. She threw herself into my arms, crying bitterly, her body shaking with fear. I could only pat her back gently to comfort her a little.

She kept staring at me, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. After a while, I felt it was enough, so I pushed her away and said, "Don't run around next time, okay? Be obedient, you are always so impatient. If you do this again, I won't save you next time."

However, at this moment, Song Yingchun seemed absent-minded. She just looked at me infatuatedly and it seemed that she didn't take what I said to heart.

"Brother Zhou Bo, I just now realize how capable you are. You look so handsome like this, so handsome." Song Yingchun said.

Of course I was happy about the compliment, but I also fully understood her psychology. The feelings she had about me, such as being handsome, cool and so on, were just the budding psychology of a little girl, triggered by special reasons such as hormones, so I just listened to them.

"Okay, being handsome can't make a living, and it's useless to flatter me. You have to remember what I said, and don't pretend you didn't hear it." I said.

"I know!" she said coquettishly.

I walked away from her and looked around to see what was happening. I had extinguished the torch before climbing the rock, otherwise I would not have been able to climb up. Now only the faint light of the moon could illuminate the place a little, and in such a lighting environment, the field of vision was limited.

This is the lair of Bigfoot, a tent made of animal skin. Just like what the soldier said on the last white cloth strip, it is full of bones, including many human skeletons and animal bones, including deer and sheep. Not far away, there is a hideous animal skin hanging on a branch like a trophy. It is the fur of the evil beast. I was hiding behind an animal corpse just now, but now I can see clearly that it is a bison that died not long ago, but the meat has been eaten up a lot, and I can see a lot of blood sausage and internal organs through the moonlight.

I remembered that I had just smeared its blood on myself, and I couldn't help feeling a little nauseous.

Looking at the many human and ape corpses on the ground, I couldn't help but sigh: "How many people did this guy kill in his search for a mate? He is so heartless, he might as well be single for the rest of his life."

"Brother Zhou Bo, how do we get down? It's very high down here. If we're not careful we might slip and fall to our death." Song Yingchun said.

"That road is definitely not feasible. We can only see if there is another way down the mountain. But now there is no fire, no light, and no way to find a way. The only way is to wait until daybreak. Now we should not move rashly. Who knows if the rock will collapse, and we will be finished if we fall down." I said.

"Oh, don't scare me, I'm timid." Song Yingchun shouted in fear.

I reached out and pulled her back from the edge. She walked back slowly and carefully, and we both breathed a sigh of relief.

There is a fishy smell here, mostly the smell of blood, just like entering a slaughterhouse.

We tried to get as close to the animal-skin tent as possible. That was where it usually rested, so it must be relatively safe. So we lay down there, leaning against it, enduring the stench, intending to hold out until dawn, and I could take a break as well.

"Hey, Brother Zhou Bo, you said there are only two of us here, so no one will know what we do, right?" Song Yingchun said to me.

My body tensed up, this girl!

"How can you still think about those things in this situation? Stop thinking about it. Just rest and replenish yourself. You may have a lot of things to do tomorrow." I said.

Although I said this, I was also swallowing my saliva. After all, it is spring now, and I have the animal nature in my body. Humans are also animals, and it is impossible not to be affected by the seasons. Song Yingchun's words still have a great effect on me.

"Okay, okay, I get it, but...if you don't want to do anything excessive with me, a hug is at least okay, right? I'm really scared now, so can't you just comfort me?" Song Yingchun said.

"Okay." I said helplessly.

She came over immediately, hugged me tightly with her hands, and leaned close to me, her body trembling with excitement. This was also a test for me. I needed to restrain myself and not make a big mistake. Although this situation was the biggest temptation for men, I could not compromise, otherwise how could I explain to Song Bailu and Yunwen?

I tried hard to close my eyes, even though my nostrils were filled with Yingchun's faint and tender fragrance, and my hands could touch her skin which was as tender as a baby's. But I still had to restrain myself constantly, determined not to make any mistakes, and rely on my willpower to pass the beauty test.

We tossed and turned all night long. I didn't sleep much, and Yingchun didn't fall asleep either, otherwise she wouldn't have kept using her hands. It was not until the second half of the night that I slowly fell into a light sleep because I was too tired.

It felt like I just closed my eyes, and when I woke up, it was already daybreak. Song Yingchun was sleeping on the ground and snoring. I moved away from her, slowly got up and looked around. It was only during the day that I could see clearly that this was the top of a steep cliff, surrounded by continuous mountain walls of roughly the same height.

From this angle, it is completely a connected city wall. After every gentle hill, there is a protruding peak similar to the top of my cliff, similar to the beacon tower used in the imperial court to play with the princes.

Looking inward from the "city wall" is the interior of the island, where you can see many wild animals, birds flying around, trees standing in rows, flowers blooming, and an abundance of natural resources. Looking outward is outside the "city wall", which is where we have been staying, leading to the coast. Compared to this, the outside is simply a wasteland.

The difference here is just the "wall"!
