The python's attention was originally focused on the male colleague who was running for his life.
Now that I've shot it twice and it's lost so much blood, it must be in a lot of pain. Suddenly, the python's tail lashed out at the tree where I was hiding, as if it had gone mad.
Fortunately, I have a military background, and after all these years, my vigilance and agility are still quite good.
So almost the instant I saw his snake tail twitch, I lay down on the ground, rolled hard, and ran three or four meters away.
Finally, I hid behind another tree, holding my breath and not daring to move, for fear of attracting the attention of the python again.
Meanwhile, the male colleague had already run far away, yelling.
The python's entire tail was twisted together, clearly indicating that the two shots were not entirely useless to it.
I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, but it was so dark around me that I had no way to escape even if I wanted to.
After thinking it over, I finally decided to wait here for a while.
Once that male colleague runs away, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to get away on my own.
After all, without burdens, I won't be distracted anymore, which is beneficial to me.
After the giant python coiled up and struggled a few times, it hissed with its tongue flicking out of its mouth, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
I have never had a good impression of these mollusks.
Watching it frantically shaking its large triangular head around, the atmosphere around me felt even more oppressive.
After about ten minutes, it seemed the python really couldn't find me. I couldn't help but feel relieved. It seems that the eyesight of these pythons that live here is worse than that of the snakes we encounter in the city.
Moreover, it's so dark now, so as long as I don't move, it probably won't be able to find me.
However, this plan didn't last long before it was thwarted by the python's sudden twist of its tail.
This python seemed to have developed some intelligence. After frantically turning around and around without finding my location, the snake became somewhat agitated.
The stench of snakes emanating from my mouth, mixed with the dampness of the woods, made it unbearable.
Just then, the python's head suddenly stopped, and I became even more nervous. I saw it stretch its neck towards where I was hiding, and then its huge head appeared right in front of me!
I was so scared that I forgot to breathe. I gripped my gun tightly, but I was still uncertain because I didn't know if there were two or three bullets left in the gun.
Clearly, these few bullets were simply not enough to deal with such a colossal beast.
Does this mean I have to save a grenade for myself to commit suicide so that I can die with some dignity?
Many thoughts rushed through my mind, and finally I gritted my teeth and refuted my wild ideas.
no!
Xu Wei and Wang Xiaoxiao are still waiting for me at the camp. If I die now, Bai Wei and his gang will inevitably bully them because of past grudges.
Thinking about it this way, I felt even more upset, and a surge of courage suddenly welled up inside me.
So I must live no matter what! Only by living can there be hope!
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I carefully observed the python and realized that it seemed to be looking for me as well.
Perhaps it was because the woods were damp, and I had rolled around on the ground several times, getting covered in mud, that masked my scent.
The python has no way of finding my exact location, which is why it hasn't attacked me yet.
I felt a little comforted.
This means that I still have a chance to escape.
I absolutely cannot waste the few bullets I have. I don't know what happened to the male colleague who ran away, so no matter what, I must ensure my own safety first, and then rejoin Wang Ping and the others.
If I can't break free from this python, I should at least tell Wang Ping and the others that there is danger here.
Otherwise, if all our male colleagues were dead, I wouldn't be able to imagine how the remaining female colleagues would survive.
The python was still thrashing around me, and I wasn't sure how long it would continue searching. I was also very uncertain about the situation. In this state, even if the two of us confronted each other, I would definitely be the one who got hurt. So I had to run away as quickly as possible and find a place to hide.
But this forest is completely unfamiliar to me. I have no idea where there is any hiding place, and it's pitch black here now. I can't even see clearly. It would be really difficult to escape like this.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally gritted my teeth and decided to take the gamble.
Even if we can't go back safely, we can't just stay here and wait to die.
I carefully moved my foot, but this snake's eyesight wasn't good, but its hearing was excellent. Its big head, which had been moving around wildly, suddenly stopped, and then its eyes, as big as light bulbs, looked at me.
I wasn't sure if he had seen me, so I hid behind the tree, held my breath, and dared not move.
But the python tentatively shook its head at me again, and that one look made me even more terrified. Almost instinctively, I turned my head and kicked the tree like a madman, using the momentum to run away.
The python then quickly twisted its body and chased after me.
I didn't even dare to look back anymore, and could only run while trying to hide under the roots of trees in the nooks and crannies.
After running for about two or three minutes, a huge mountain suddenly appeared in front of me. My heart tightened at first, and then I was startled.
How could there be such a big mountain in this place?
Such a huge mountain must have some kind of small cave entrance or something, right?
The problem is that it's nighttime now, and the moonlight is only faintly shining in. My vision is very limited, and I simply don't have time to look for these so-called hiding places.
But in this situation, I can only keep running forward, because even if I retreat, I will definitely die.
Maybe we should just leave it to fate.
I gripped the gun in my hand, and taking advantage of the chaos, I turned around and fired another shot at the python.
The python had been wounded by my gun earlier, so it was still somewhat wary of gunshots. When I fired, it paused again, and I took the opportunity to run several meters away.
I practically lunged straight at that seemingly bottomless mountain, and then ran into the bushes at its base.
My heart was pounding as I groped my way through the bushes, and the giant snake was already right in front of me.
Despair instantly arose. Just as I could almost feel the python flicking its tongue, I touched a large crack in my hand!
