Chapter 63.
Tang Yu retracted her head and pressed herself against the earth wall, trying her best not to be discovered by them.
The place where she was hiding was very secluded and would be difficult to find if it wasn't for the bright light.
The only lighting tools these people had were two torches. The previous climbing team carried flashlights with them, but they might have been lost during the escape.
Tang Yu listened to the chaotic footsteps getting closer and closer, and she even slowed down her breathing.
Just as the footsteps were about to pass the depression, Tang Yu saw a head lowered above her head, and she didn't know how long it had been looking at her.
The man was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and he did not take them off even in the dark night.
"You're here, it's easier for us to find you!"
Xila's voice attracted the attention of others. The light of the torch came closer, and Tang Yu saw the faces of the others.
Under the light of the torches, the faces of these people looked particularly pale, and there was even a faint gray-green hue beneath their skin.
When Tang Yu was looking at a few people, they were also looking at Tang Yu.
But compared to the lively and agile performance of the previous few days, the movements of these few people now seemed much more stiff.
Such a huge contrast between the before and after did not make Tang Yu feel too frightened. She just felt a little regretful that she could not escape after all.
"You don't look well." Facing the expressionless people, Tang Yu was the first to speak and break the silence.
Ji Wenhan said: "Our supplies are lost."
Zhang Cong added: "We are lost."
Tang Yu thought, how can you find me if you get lost?
She also didn't intend to ask this group of people how they found her so accurately. After all, strange copies don't follow common sense.
Instead, she was very curious about the fact that Ren Qingqing, who was killed by the wild boar, did not appear in the crowd. Logically speaking, it was a dead person, and passing through the group of wild boars was just a formality.
Since this group of people could gather together in an unreasonable way and find me, why didn't Ren Qingqing show up?
Is it because Ren Qingqing's resurrection in front of her was too buggy that she didn't appear in the team?
Thinking about it this way, this copy is quite exquisite.
Seeing Tang Yu in a daze, Yan Xiu came over and asked, "Our supplies are all lost, where are yours?"
Tang Yu came back to her senses and looked at it. Yan Xiu was very close to her at this time, so she could clearly feel the coldness emanating from Yan Xiu.
She had been in the same tent with Yan Xiu and Ren Qingqing before, and at that time she felt that the two of them did not have the warmth of a living person.
Yan Xiu's body temperature was a little lower at this moment than before the accident.
Facing Yan Xiu's face that was no longer gentle because of its bluish color, Tang Yu hesitated for a moment and took out compressed biscuits that matched the appearance and volume of the small bag from his waist bag.
She said, "My backpack also fell into the river. This is the only food I have left."
Those were the supplies she had moved earlier in order to reduce the weight of her mountaineering bag. In addition to these, there was also some food in the space bag in case of emergency.
Originally, Tang Yu planned to keep the food for himself, but that was on the premise that he had left the team.
Now that these people have come to her, there is no possibility for her to eat alone.
In order to gain the trust of others, Tang Yu even opened his waist bag to show them.
That item is a special exclusive item. Unless the owner allows it, others will just see an ordinary bag.
Therefore, Tang Yu was not worried at all about being exposed.
The eyes of the few people who saw the food lit up. As the team leader, Ji Wenhan went straight forward to count the biscuits.
"This is only enough to get us through the day."
This news was undoubtedly very serious. As experienced climbers, this group of people naturally knew how optimistic Ji Wenhan's words were.
The few biscuits Tang Yu took out were only a handful. The concept of sustaining a day was that everyone maintained a minimum energy supply, and eating enough was out of the question.
But that's the situation and no one said anything.
Ji Wenhan looked around and said, "This location is not bad. We can use it as a camping site. Let's go and collect some more firewood. We don't have any heating equipment now, so we can only rely on fire to keep warm."
After the words fell, Chang Ziang, who was standing at the back of the crowd, shouted: "No! Qingqing hasn't been found yet, we can't rest now!"
No one knew where He Yibo's glasses had fallen to, and he was now squinting his eyes to look at people.
It was standing next to Chang Ziang at this time. Hearing what Chang Ziang said, it couldn't help but persuade him: "It's too late now. Everyone is exhausted. Why don't we look for it tomorrow?"
Chang Ziang became even more agitated: "No! Qingqing's whereabouts are unknown and her foot is injured. If we find her later, she will be in more danger!"
Tang Yu looked at the arguing people and thought that Ren Qingqing was already dead enough.
Ji Wenhan raised his voice to cover the noise of the crowd: "Okay, it's too dangerous for us to look for him at this time. How can you put everyone in danger because of one person?!"
This statement was a bit harsh, and although it might sound like moral kidnapping, it spoke to the thoughts of others.
Everyone began to persuade Chang Ziang that Yan Xiu’s boyfriend Tong Hao was a straightforward person.
"We don't want this to happen. If Miss Ren is lucky, it doesn't matter when we find her."
These words were almost saying that Ren Qingqing was gone. Chang Ziang was already very emotional, and when he heard Tong Hao say this, he exploded.
It clenched its fist and hit Tong Hao directly on the face. Tong Hao got angry after being hit and glared at Chang Ziang, ready to fight back.
When Tang Yu saw Chang Ziang's big reaction, he was even more afraid to tell others that he had witnessed Ren Qingqing's death.
This group of monsters was obviously on the verge of losing control. If she provoked them even a little, they would attack immediately.
Ji Wenhan was a tall and strong man. He went up to separate the two people. Before he could open his mouth to persuade them, Chang Ziang spoke.
It pointed at everyone and said with a sinister look: "You all just watched me die without helping me, right? You all don't want to go, right? I'll go by myself!"
With that, Chang Ziang turned around and left, not looking back no matter how the people behind him shouted at him.
The rest of the people watched Chang Ziang disappear into the night, and no one wanted to follow him.
"Ah!" Ji Wenhan sighed and said, "Forget it, let him be. At worst, we can go find them tomorrow."
The captain spoke and everyone had no objection, so they rested on the spot.
The temperature in the mountains was very low, especially after the rain, the temperature was even lower. Fortunately, the pit where Tang Yu was located provided a relatively dry shelter for everyone.
In order to keep as warm as possible, the seven people collected all the firewood they could find nearby and lit a slightly larger fire.
The branches that have been soaked by rain are very wet, difficult to ignite and produce thick smoke, but at least they can provide warmth.
In order to keep the fire burning, someone was needed to keep watch. The only two women left in the team were treated preferentially and did not need to do this.
Tang Yu sat by the fire to light a fire. Yan Xiu sat on her left, Xi La sat on her right, and He Yibo, Ji Wenhan and Zhang Cong sat together opposite her.
Yan Xiu was sleeping on Tong Hao at this time. Tang Yu was also a little sleepy, but she really had no one to rely on.
Yan Xiu was as cold as ice, and Xila was not even considered by her. Although this guy had the body temperature of a living person and seemed to be a living person, he didn't seem to do much.
Tang Yu even doubted his purpose of sitting next to her. What's more, this guy was on guard tonight, so it was impossible for her to fall asleep.
Sheila added a piece of wood to the fire. The flames ignited a thick smoke and then the wood began to burn with great difficulty.
Seeing Tang Yu staring at the fire with his eyes open without blinking, he asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Tang Yu did not answer him. Although this man had never done anything to hurt her from beginning to end, the malice emanating from him was something Tang Yu could not ignore.
Therefore, facing Xila, Tang Yu would instinctively avoid her.
Xila was not angry about Tang Yu's indifference. He just said to himself: "How about I tell you another story?"
Tang Yu put his head on his knees and curled up into a ball. He said in a flat voice, "Talking less can save energy."
Before breaking, Ji Wenhan broke off a small piece of compressed biscuits for everyone as dinner, and after eating, everyone went to bed quietly.
Tang Yu had eaten before being found, so he didn't feel hungry now. The reason she said this was to politely express her refusal.
But Sheila obviously didn't understand. He continued, "A ship went out to sea and crashed. Fortunately, the crew was swept to an uninhabited island by the waves and survived."
This beginning made Tang Yu's heart jump inexplicably. She turned to look at Xila, but only saw half of her face that looked particularly white under the firelight.
"Unfortunately, it was a deserted island. The crew had no supplies to survive on the island. Because it was a deserted island in the ocean, it was difficult for the crew to wait for rescue. They stayed on the island for the sixth day. It was unbearable."
"You know that people can't survive for long without water and food. Just then, the crew came up with a brilliant idea!"
When Tang Yu heard this, her heart began to sink. She looked at Xila's upturned mouth, and her white teeth were somewhat reflected by the firelight.
She had a bad premonition spreading in her heart, as if Silla's next words would cause something terrible.
Tang Yu subconsciously wanted to speak out to stop him from continuing, but she found that she couldn't do it at all.
There was some strange force restraining her, making her unable to move, and even unable to open her mouth to speak.
Sheila's magnetic voice lingered in my ears.
"They decided to use the dead crew members as food. With this idea, the crew survived for another ten days. However, no one starved to death, so they had no food. So the crew came up with another brilliant idea..."
"Enough!" Tang Yu almost shouted these two words, instantly interrupting Silla's voice.
"Huh?"
A sound of surprise rang in his ears, and Tang Yu opened his eyes immediately, only to find that he had fallen asleep without knowing when.
She still maintained the curled-up posture, and the fire in front of her was now reduced to a few sparks because the firewood had been used up.
It was close to dawn and there was a little light in the sky. The temperature should have been extremely cold, but Tang Yu's forehead was covered with sweat.
That story...was it a dream?
