Chapter 38 Tempest
On the other end of the island, a trace of suspected smoke was suddenly seen.
This shows that there are very likely other humans on this island. Whether it is survivors like them or enemies... this wisp of smoke represents infinite possibilities and their hope of escaping the island.
"It seems we have to go and have a look."
Mo Yun said firmly.
"Yeah." Chi Muyun's expression was a little uneasy, "Walk over here, how should I go?"
"The beach in the east is interrupted to the middle of the island, covered by jungle... and it will take many roads. The best way is to cross the jungle and go straight."
Mo Yun observed the nearby terrain and analyzed rationally.
"Cross across?"
"Um."
Mo Yun looked at the food and fresh water placed under the rock, "Fortunately we made preparations in advance. Grilled fish should be able to last for about four days, while fresh water can last for about three days. I think it will take about half a day to pass through this jungle."
"Will we come back?"
The girl's expression seemed a little sad.
"I don't know." Mo Yun shook his head and asked back:
"Do you want to come back?"
"No...not," Chi Muyun whispered, "I just suddenly felt a little reluctant... Although I really wanted to go home, I still felt a little reluctant... I don't know... It's just a strange feeling."
"Well, I probably understand."
Mo Yun nodded and said, "But, whether it is to complete the task or to go home as soon as possible, we must go over and take a look. Maybe we can come back if we have the chance in the future."
"Um."
Chi Muyun also cheered up, "I understand."
"Then let's go."
Mo Yun jumped off the rock carefully and took Chi Muyun down. The two of them sorted out their equipment and food and advanced towards the place where the smoke from cooking rose.
About half an hour later, Mo Yun suddenly stopped.
"etc!"
Chi Muyun stepped into the air and screamed.
"ah!"
But Mo Yun hugged her waist from behind and grabbed her.
It is not because the two of them are exhausted, but because there is a deep gully in front of them. Looking down from a high place, it is at least ten meters high. If you are an ordinary person, if you fall from this place, you may break your leg or die directly. If you are a person with a special physique like Mo Yun, you may not die, but you may also be seriously injured.
"It's so dangerous..."
Chi Muyun patted his chest with lingering fear.
“How to go on?”
Mo Yun frowned deeply.
"Can you go here?"
Chi Muyun pointed to a tree in front of him.
This is a huge banyan tree. Its trunks are grayish white, intertwined and complex, and the trunks are tall. The two are only about one meter away from the canopy. From above, the tree extends all the way to the gully below.
In theory, they were able to climb down the tree.
"Try it?"
After experiencing two games, Mo Yun was no longer the ignorant young man who had just graduated from university. He had killed the enemy with his own hands, had also experienced betrayal and passionate friendship, had seen werewolf and mutant plants, and even had seen awakened people with special abilities... A mere tree will naturally not make him feel afraid of difficulties.
Although Chi Muyun looks weak and quiet on the surface, Mo Yun can feel that her heart is also firm and persistent. If she insists on saying something, she has a "power" in her heart. Although this power is not shown, Mo Yun can feel that Chi Muyun is actually a very strong person in her heart.
This is the same as him.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that when he first saw her, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy from his heart.
Mo Yun jumped, hugged the thick branches with his hands, and hung his body in mid-air.
Then he carefully relaxed his arms, stepped on the key nodes with his feet, and used his hands and feet to slowly move down. During the process, he hung the rope he carried on his waist on the branch, and the other end of the rope was in Chi Muyun's hand.
"Hey!"
Mo Yun shouted softly, slid down the tree trunk, jumped underground, and landed smoothly.
"Safety."
After landing, Mo Yun looked up at the girl above.
"Then I'll come down, too."
The girl carefully imitated Mo Yun's movements, first jumped out, hugged the branches, and then carefully slid down with the help of the rope. The two of them passed through a difficult situation without any danger.
They continue to move forward.
I moved forward for about two hours and it was already noon.
The hot sun above my head, and the temperature kept rising.
"Let's stop and take a break."
Mo Yun felt the rising temperature and sweat also appeared on his forehead.
"Okay." The girl nodded.
The two found a shade in the jungle, cleared the fallen leaves and weeds under the trees, made a clean clearing of clear space, and then sat on the ground.
Mo Yun took out the grilled fish and slowly started eating it.
"I didn't expect it to be even further than it seems."
Mo Yun took a bite of the grilled fish.
"Well, it looks like we'll have to go to the westernmost part of the island in the evening."
Chi Muyun also ate the fish carefully, and then spit out a fish bone without any image.
After getting along these days, she will not deliberately maintain her image in front of him.
The way the two get along is already very natural.
"You said, is there really someone over there?"
"have no idea."
"Some islands have indigenous people." Mo Yun thought for a while, "There are some very ancient peoples along the Pacific coast, who make a living by fishing. But in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer... and I think it is unlikely that it is an indigenous people like such a remote island."
"Who would that be?"
The girl leaned against the tree trunk, put down the fish bones, and drank another sip of water.
"It's hard to say, it's very likely that it's the enemy."
Mo Yun also finished eating the fish and leaned against the tree trunk, intending to take a break for a while - the temperature was too high at noon, and it was not suitable for rushing. Moreover, he felt a little tired after walking the mountain road for a whole morning.
An hour later, the two of them recovered and continued to move towards the west.
Because I became familiar with the journey in the jungle, the speed of the two of them in the afternoon was much faster than that in the morning.
But in the evening, a thick gray cloud suddenly floated above my head.
The temperature around it also dropped rapidly.
Mo Yun looked up at the deep dark clouds in the sky, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed. The air pressure seemed to be lowering, and a storm seemed to be brewing in the clouds.
But looking at the distance, it is about a distance from their destination.
"Is it going to rain?"
Chi Muyun also felt something was wrong.
"It's probably a heavy rain."
Mo Yun couldn't help but remember the night when he and Chi Muyun first arrived on this island, the terrible storm still made him feel scared.
"If there is no place to shelter from the rain in the jungle, I'm afraid I'll be soaked into a chicken... "
Mo Yun had already imagined the miserable scenes of the two of them.
But at this moment, he was suddenly stunned.
"Be careful! There are footsteps!"
He immediately bent down and signaled Chi Muyun to lower his body.
The two of them held their breath and listened quietly to the movements around them.
The surroundings were very quiet, with birds singing and insects chirping, and the sound of their breathing. In addition, from the west, which was the direction they were moving, there were increasingly louder and louder footsteps.
"Pu, pu..."
