Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Practice More
Late at night, Ye Xuan and Ma Yuming changed shifts.
Of the five men on board, except Li Xingyan, the rest had to take part in the duty to avoid any sudden accidents.
At about one o'clock, the rainforest was completely silent, with only the occasional monkey calls.
When the boat reached a tributary, the low treetops rubbed against the roof of the boat, giving people an oppressive feeling that they might run aground at any time.
Ye Xuan glanced at the map.
Without reference landmarks, it's just a piece of waste paper.
But according to the tips given by the program team before departure, it is always right to go upstream to the tributary.
I put away the map and turned my head to see Yun Ti lying on the windowsill.
His arms were folded, his chin resting on the back of his hands, and his pair of dark eyes didn't even blink.
Like a primary school student, well-behaved.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Ye Xuan asked.
Yun Ti didn't answer.
Could it be... sleepwalking?
When he was in the army before, Ye Xuan had seen many strange people and things.
Sleepwalking and sleeping with eyes open are the most common ones.
After thinking for a few seconds, Ye Xuan picked up the coat beside him and was about to put it on Yun Ti's shoulders.
"It's going to rain."
The girl spoke softly.
Ye Xuan paused, then naturally withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Did you hear that again?"
The weather in the rainforest is unpredictable, and 95% of the rain comes from the transpiration of leaves. It is not uncommon for heavy rain to come at any time.
But he still remembered that on the day of the sandstorm, Yun Ti had also reminded him in a similar tone.
Determined and calm.
It was because he was arrogant and didn't listen that he fell.
"Will there be any danger?" Ye Xuan looked at her.
Although I don’t know what secrets this girl has, she does have great powers.
"Do you believe it?" Yun Ti raised her eyes, a little confused.
"Why not? You're amazing."
Changed.
Yun Ti discovered that Ye Xuan seemed to have become different from the one in the book.
The original book mentioned that due to his upbringing, his only shortcoming was his stubbornness and will to act on his own.
But fortunately, "without exception, the final results proved that the decisions he made were correct."
But now, the humility and appreciation in his eyes did not seem fake.
Yun Ti thought about it and shook her head, "I don't know what the danger is."
She had never lived in the rainforest and knew nothing about the environment there.
"It's going to rain heavily anyway."
Before he could finish his words, a drop of rain hit the back of his hand.
Immediately afterwards, circles of ripples appeared on the water surface, becoming denser and denser.
Thunder roared.
In the forest, monkeys screamed and ran around, and the treetops began to tremble.
"Is it raining?"
Banshee came out with a messy hair, walked to the deck in the rain, and inspected along the bow.
On the shore, broken ant towers floated downstream, and termites were wriggling frantically on the floating dead branches.
Lightning split the sky, white light instantly illuminated the entire green field, and the rivers were boiling.
The sound of the boat's bottom scraping across the riverbed sounded like the wailing of hundreds of ghosts in the dark night.
Ye Xuan slowed down the boat.
Everyone in the cabin was also awakened by the shock.
Seeing it raining, Li Xingyan rolled up his sleeves, stretched his arms out of the window, and rubbed them back and forth in the rain.
He had been muttering to himself the whole night, "I must wash myself clean when I get off the boat and see the river." He finally fell asleep, but when he opened his eyes, he was still thinking about it.
It's really crazy.
What's so dirty about it! It's like a fresh milk glutinous rice ball, and the aroma is almost pickled.
Out of respect for his financial sponsor, He Junzhuo decided to give a reminder: "This rain must be quite dirty, washing away the dust on the leaves and animal feces and urine..."
Li Xingyan withdrew his hand, half believing and half doubting.
Ma Yuming, who was sleeping on the floor, yawned and turned over. "Master, if you stretch out your hand, you can touch the tree next to you. There might be a snake there."
“Bang!”
The wooden window was slammed shut and the lock was locked tightly.
He Junzhuo and Ma Yuming were startled and looked over with sleepy faces.
"First, let me make it clear. I'm not afraid of snakes. I just..." Li Xingyan touched the tip of his nose and looked away guiltily. "The wind is a bit cold, hmm."
–
The raindrops hit the back of my neck like icicles.
Yun Ti was completely unaware.
The rain is getting heavier.
The water upstream was rushing rapidly, roaring towards the bow of the boat, and white mist soon formed on the deep water surface.
The wreckage of the drone was stuck between the tree branches, and the red dot on the lens kept flashing.
"Brother Ye! Brother Cui said their propeller seemed to be entangled by something!" Ma Yuming knocked on the porthole of the cab.
Suddenly there was a loud noise behind me.
Hearing the sound, several people leaned over to look.
The two ships were pushed out of the queue by the strong water pressure from another tributary.
The people on the boat screamed and ran to the deck, waving for help, but the boat had been pushed off the channel by the current and into another river.
Like a giant beast with its huge mouth opened into the abyss, it quickly swallowed up the light.
The accident happened in the blink of an eye, and no one expected it.
The next second, Yun Ti and Ye Xuan's bracelets vibrated at the same time.
It is a "connection request" from other players.
The frequency was so fast that it was like an electric torture device, shaking people so much that they could do a popping dance on the spot.
Looking at the densely packed names on the display screen, Yun Ti frowned.
I don’t know anyone.
"This is Su Jian," Ming Jiaojiao said, having just recovered from her shock. "She's the gentle and patient female doctor."
She paused, realizing she had no right to order others to do things, so she hurriedly explained, "I just said it casually, I didn't mean for you to take it..."
Unexpectedly, Yun Ti's fingertips touched and the signal was transmitted directly.
Without any hesitation.
This seemingly "complete trust" behavior made Ming Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly hot.
"Yun Ti, I'm Su Jian, sorry to bother you..."
The voice in the bracelet was anxious.
It turned out that Su Jian was on Cui Da's boat, the "Brother Cui" that Ma Yuming had just mentioned.
Their ship had encountered some accidents and the forward driving force was insufficient. Cui Da suspected that the propeller was entangled by something and wanted to stop the boat and check, but the other men on the boat were unwilling to get off.
In desperation, Cui Da wanted to ask Ye Xuan for help to see if they could act together.
"I couldn't get through to Ye Xuan, so I thought I'd try calling you. I'm so sorry," Su Jian said, the background noise on the other end was chaotic and the signal was intermittent. "Could you please call Ye Xuan?"
Ye Xuanzheng and Ma Yuming controlled the direction in the cockpit.
The river water rose sharply and the lead ship was the first to be hit.
Ye Xuan was the only one on board who knew how to sail, and Ma Yuming had a limited understanding. They were so preoccupied with preventing the previous incident from happening again that they had no time to think about anything else.
Yun Ti retracted her gaze and asked, "How can he help?"
…
There was silence on the other side. I could faintly hear a man curse "Fuck".
This probably means refusing aid.
Yes, it was pitch black in the rain forest and there was a heavy rain. The coast only looked like a coast, but in fact it might just be driftwood stuck in the mud. Who knows what kind of snakes, insects and scorpions are hiding in it.
It was their ship that had the accident, and they were eager to take the opportunity to eliminate their opponents, so why would they risk getting off the ship to help them investigate?
Su Jian sighed softly, his tone still gentle: "Okay, then I won't bother you anymore, just be careful..."
"Is it me who can't do it?"
"Ah?" Su Jian was stunned.
Yun Ti said calmly, "I'll just go."
–
The dense canopy of trees forms a natural umbrella, greatly weakening the power of sudden rain.
The soles of my boots sank into the soft moss, like stepping on a sponge soaked with rainwater.
When the light from the headlamp hit, the white bubbles emerging from under the feet were clearly visible.
The rainforest soil also seems to breathe.
Every step was taken with trepidation.
Of course, only Cui Da.
Yunti and the train were like primary school students on a spring outing, looking left and right, their eyes full of curiosity.
Soon, around behind the boat.
Several people were lying on the side of the boat, some were equally terrified, and some were gloating.
Su Jian held up the searchlight, stretched out his hand and shone it downwards, "Can you see it?"
The propeller was indeed entangled in vines and was almost twisted into the innermost part of the protective cover.
Cui Da tried to cut it off with a dagger.
Unharmed.
"hiss."
Yun Ti reached out and pinched the muscles on Cui Da's arm. "Is this thing real?"
At such a critical moment, she still had the mood to admire her figure. Women are really unreliable and do whatever they want.
Cui Da clapped his arms vigorously and said, "Listen to this rich voice, how can it be fake?"
"Alright, stop making things worse," Cui Da brushed Yun Ti's hand away, too lazy to argue with the little girl. "Just pay attention to the surrounding environment and don't let snakes..."
"Snake!" Banlie shouted.
“Where, where?!”
Cui Da waved his hands and feet wildly, like a balloon man welcoming guests at the entrance of a shopping mall.
Afraid that something would fall on him.
Yun Ti stepped forward and pulled him behind her.
The flashlight beam swept to port.
Half of a tree root emerged from the muddy waves, and the bent trunk slowly stood up like a water snake.
…
"It seems that these muscles are not fake," Banlie sneered, pointing at Cui Da's arm.
It was covered with goose bumps and even the hairs on my body stood up.
Fake muscles can't be that realistic.
Cui Da was so angry that he was about to curse.
All I could hear was the dull thud of falling trees.
Turning around, Yun Ti grabbed a handful of vines, her eyes clear, "Is this how you remove them?"
The vines that were tangled in the propeller have been cleared away.
The severed roots floated on the water and hit the outer wall of the steel plate, making a sharp sound like nails scratching a blackboard.
Cui Da was so upset that he turned off the microphone.
It turned out that he had misheard the emphasis in the little girl's words...
She wasn't lamenting that real muscles were as strong as fake ones.
But it is incredible——
This man looks so muscular, but how come he can't even cut a vine?
＊
Others on board tried to start the engine, and the propeller began to spin at a low speed.
The ship returned to normal.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the few of them returned the same way they came.
"hug……"
Cui Da was in a dilemma for a long time, with the word "sorry" stuck on his lips but he couldn't say it.
Forget it, let it be. We won’t have much interaction in the future anyway.
He pursed his lips and continued to be alert to his surroundings.
Suddenly, a warm feeling came over me.
He looked down and saw the girl in his arms looking up, their eyes meeting his.
"You want a hug?"
Although she was puzzled, Yun Ti still stretched out her hands and lightly wrapped them around his waist, "Don't be afraid."
Cui Da's face suddenly became extremely hot.
If there was light shining over him, you could even see steam coming out of his head.
This seems to be the longest moment in my life, and even my mind is like a kaleidoscope.
"Even though your muscles are real, they're still edible."
Yun Ti patted his back symbolically, like a good brother, and said, "If you're not good at it, you need to practice more."
Okay, the carousel is stuck.
Yun Ti herself did not expect that a brief hug of only two seconds could give a man a wonderful experience like a last gasp of life.
As usual, she hugged the baby and turned and left.
Directly in front of my head, there was a crisp sound of young branches breaking.
Yun Ti raised her eyes and met a pair of round amber pupils.
A lone white-shanked langur baby hid in the tree canopy, timidly poking out its furry little head.
