Chapter 315 They Have Guns
However, although Chu Qiao's speed may not be faster than the professional Xiao Wang, his endurance is much better than his.
Xiao Wang's arms began to tense up and his muscles became stiff, but Chu Qiao didn't even breathe, and was as relaxed as if he had been born in the water.
"Come up quickly."
Accompanied by Director Xiao's shouts, Chu Qiao was the first to reach the shore.
A huge wave hit suddenly. This time Chu Qiao was careful and tied the backpack straps of several people together early in the morning.
Chu Qiao felt a surge of sadness. The waves were so powerful that they almost pulled him down.
She suddenly stamped her feet and buried them deep in the sand.
Director Xiao also came over to help.
Chu Qiao finally managed to steady himself and pulled Xiao Wang and Huang Li back.
Chu Qiao picked up Wang Li and ran to a safe area. Chu Qiao felt Huang Li's carotid artery.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "She's fine and can breathe on her own." As she said this, she turned Wang Li to a side-lying position.
A little water flowed out of Huang Li's mouth.
Xiao Wang frowned: "Not controlling the water?"
Chu Qiao shook his head. "Not yet. We rescued her in a timely manner. She wasn't in the sea for long, so the seawater should have concentrated in her stomach. It's not serious. If she tries to control the water, it might cause heavy food to flow down her esophagus, blocking her airway and affecting her breathing."
Xiao Wang looked at the lying Huang Li with half belief and half doubt.
"cough--"
"cough--"
A few coughs were heard, and Chu Qiao, who was feeling Huang Li's pulse and counting her heartbeats, put down his arm.
"How is it? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Huang Li didn't move. After a while, she regained her strength and slowly sat up.
"Thank you, Chu Qiao." Huang Li's face flushed and his neck became thick. He was a grown man, but he was saved several times by a woman.
Chu Qiao shook his head: "It's not all me, Xiao Wang found yours first."
By this time the sun had completely set and they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
Director Xiao set up the tent and helped Huang Li back.
Chu Qiao leaned against the tent and looked at the stars in the sky. There was no aurora tonight, and the whole sky was unusually calm.
Xiao Wang suddenly stuck his head out and said, "Come in and sleep. It's cold at night."
"No, we need to leave someone outside online, it's safer."
Xiao Wang curled his lips: "It doesn't necessarily have to be you who stays."
"Okay, let's go in. I'm not used to sleeping in a tent. It's so stuffy."
Chu Qiao was telling the truth. She was used to having the sky as her blanket and the feeling of breathing freely and unhindered. Every time she returned to the city, she needed a long time to adapt to the cramped living conditions of a building, let alone an airtight tent.
…
Accompanied by the sound of waves, several people did not sleep well, especially Huang Li, who probably had a nightmare and kept tossing and turning.
Chu Qiao got up early in the morning and used distilled water to cook several people's beef jerky into beef soup. He also went to the reef to dig up some strange-looking things.
【What is this? It’s disgusting.】
[It's white, and looks scary.]
[Reminder: Those with trypophobia should be cautious.]
…
"Don't be afraid. This gray-white thing is called a barnacle. It's an animal, although we can't see it has the ability to move."
"They usually attach themselves to wet rocks at the seaside and feed on plankton. This type of barnacle is very hard, so if you walk barefoot on it, you have to be careful not to get scratched by it."
[But, Master Chu, this thing is so small, can it really be eaten? ]
【It's so hard to eat. 】
[Like eating melon seeds?]
…
"Barnacles are difficult to open. Fishermen on the coast usually dry them and make soup. I pick the meat off all at once and cook it to eat."
【I want to eat seafood, too. 】
【I'm hungry after hearing what Master Chu said.】
We also have one on the beach, so we go there at night.
…
"I would like to remind everyone that although barnacles are edible, you must pay attention to the corresponding environmental safety. Barnacles can only be eaten in places with good water quality."
Director Xiao walked over with a smile and said, "I'll handle it with you."
…
After they finished their breakfast, Chu Qiao helped Director Xiao pack up the tent. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Someone."
"What?" Director Xiao didn't hear what Qiao said clearly and his face was full of question marks.
Chu Qiao was disturbed by his voice. Before he could tell how many people it was, a man's voice suddenly rang out:
"Hello... who is it?"
A few ruffians rushed out from behind and surrounded the four people.
They wore plain sweaters on their upper body, leather pants on their lower body, and round hats like small tents on their heads.
What made Chu Qiao clench his fists was their weapons. Each of the four men was holding a hunting rifle.
Chu Qiao looked at the gun body and saw that it was a shotgun.
Huang Li screamed, and Xiao Wang and Director Xiao were also frightened. Beidou Country prohibits private possession or sale of firearms and ammunition, but in many countries outside Beidou Country, firearms and ammunition can be legally owned.
For example, this Ice Country is possible.
Chu Qiao secretly looked at the appearance of several people. They were tall and straight, with golden hair and dark complexion.
Chu Qiao whispered to the others, "Don't move. They should be hunters. They won't hurt us."
"But...but they have guns." Huang Li stuttered.
Chu Qiao looked at the guns of the men and said, "It's okay. These are semi-automatic shotguns."
"What's the meaning?"
"A shotgun that fires once per trigger pull, without having to manually reload the next round each time. This weapon uses the gases from the propellant to expel the empty cartridge case and reload the next round."
Xiao Wang's teeth chattered. "I...Isn't this just going to make it easier for them to kill us?"
Chu Qiao ignored Xiao Wang and said to the others, "We are not bad people. We just came here to explore and are ready to return home."
Several people looked at each other, then immediately raised their guns and said to Chu Qiao: "Return to China, which country?"
Director Xiao: Why did she ask that?
"The Ice Country is rich in underground resources, and their neighboring countries often provoke them and send spies from time to time, so their people hate foreigners."
But the Beidou Kingdom is obviously no longer hated by the Ice Kingdom people.
Beidou is now one of the most powerful countries in the world in terms of both economic and military strength. More importantly, the people of Beidou are peace-loving.
The man with a white cloth on his head was delighted and asked, "Are you from Beidou Country?"
Chu Qiao took her hairband and held up her shoulder-length hair: "Black, black hair, we are from Beidou."
The man noticed the skin and hair of several people and burst into laughter.
The leader put his gun into his waist and stretched out two large black hands: "My name is Tota, where are you going?"
After a friendly handshake with Tota on behalf of several people, Director Xiao said, "We need to go to a place with a village and people to resupply, and then return home."
Tota held his chin in his hand and thought for a long time before saying, "We live near the black sand beach. Do you want to come with us?"
