Chapter 478 Midnight
The day in the primeval forest was tide and stuffy, and at night, it became a little cold again. Zhang Can had the energy to protect his body from water droplets. He didn't feel that the second Su Xun, who was at night, could only add some dead branches to the bonfire from time to time.
"Brother, can't you sleep?" Su Xun saw that Zhang Can was just taking a nap for a while, then got up again and came to accompany him. He asked lightly, "The long night, I was alone by the bonfire, and I was always a little lonely. It's not that Su Xun is timid. For people like them, not to say that they are waiting by the bonfire for a night, even if he is letting him go to the pile of dead people and go to sleep with a big swagger, he may not be unable to sleep."
"Well, there is a problem. I can't figure it out. I want to talk to you." Zhang Can didn't hide it: "What I want to ask you is, what do you think of your feelings for someone?" Liu Xiaoqin's affairs have always been a lingering shadow in Zhang Can's heart. Although a man can take it and let it go, how can he say that he can let it go immediately? If that's true, others will say that you are heartless and heartless.
Su Xun smiled, "Brother, to be honest, I have never talked about love seriously, it's too serious, so serious that I don't dare to touch it." Su Xun is a man born in a red family. Although he is a little "unrestrained" in life, the most common thing is that he doesn't return home at night and goes to the bar and dance hall to chat and drink with a few friends. At a higher level, Su Xun is very good at keeping himself clean. If something like that happens, once it happens, he won't even think about his future, even the old man's hindrance.
"Zhang Can, I understand," Su Xun called out his name, "I can't ask about some of your affairs, but Su Xue is a good girl, and I know you won't let her down, but you're dedicated to it, three, and even four. I will never agree." When saying these words, Su Xun had no smile on his face. He really hoped that Zhang Can could be more focused and put all his thoughts on Su Xue.
"Brother, I understand what you mean," Zhang Can nodded, "No matter under any circumstances, Su Xue is in my heart, she is the first."
"Okay, you'd better go to sleep for a while," Su Xun threw a few dead branches into the fire without raising his head. "Two big men, the love that was in the middle of the night, others would think..."
Before Su Xun finished speaking, a strange and creepy scream sounded. The scream was extremely strange, like a hundred and ten wild buffaloes, who were ruthlessly massacred at the same time. Before he died, he screamed in despair. In an instant, it seemed that there was such a strange, harsh sound in the world. The screams were endless, as if they were from the world, and the mountains responded, making people unable to tell the direction of the sound.
Although Su Xun, Zhang Can and others had good psychological qualities, they were still a little scared by the sad cry of the world. Although Xiao Li and Xiao Yang were asleep, when they heard the cry, they all seemed to hear the military horn. In less than half a minute, four people stood beside Su Xun in one go.
Zhang Can immediately used a perspective eye to see through the surroundings. In the black and white world, within a range of more than 20 meters, no moving skeletons of large animals were found. Since the camp was surrounded by big trees embraced by several people, Zhang Can's perspective eye could only see through more than 20 meters. No matter how far it was, it would be blurred.
Xiao Yang closed his eyes slightly and sniffed the air hard, trying to smell the source of the cry from the air. Generally speaking, if such an amazing cry could be made, if it was an animal, its smell would definitely be very far away. Xiao Yang sniffed hard, just to determine what the "thing" with such an amazing cry was, whether it was nearby, and whether it would threaten them. This is also Xiao Yang's ability, but it was not as accurate as Zhang Can's perspective.
Su Xun opened the infrared telescope and looked at it back and forth, but there was no result. If it was a hot-blooded animal lurking nearby, it would naturally not escape Su Xun's eyes, but the infrared telescope had little effect on cold-blooded animals.
Zhang Can, Su Xun, and Xiao Yang searched with all their strength, the fourth and fifth brothers and Xiao Li quickly prepared to defend against the attack of large beasts.
The screams rang for several minutes, and in these few minutes, it was as if after centuries, they were so depressed that they did not dare to make a sound. Just as they were about to collapse, they stopped suddenly like the screams of a bison.
The scream came very fiercely and went quickly. It came out of thin air and stopped, but suddenly disappeared. As soon as the screams left, the forest immediately became silent. Even the cry of mosquitoes and ant beasts disappeared, and even the sound of wind disappeared in the entire forest. The only thing I could hear was my heart, jumping around.
Zhang Can and the others couldn't help but wonder if they were still on this noisy earth, why did they seem to have entered a world without sound?
If they are concerned about the sound of the sound just now, the silence like the silence of time is the fear that makes people want to go crazy. Many people do not feel scared at all when facing death, but they have a natural sense of fear about the unknown. People's fear is originally derived from the unknown.
After a long time, Su Xun let out a long sigh and said in a stern voice: "It's okay, everyone go back to sleep," It's strange. After Su Xun finished speaking, the ears of several people were immediately filled with various sounds, the crickets' singing softly, the hungry wolf's howl at the moon, and even the breeze blows across the treetops, the thin chirping sound is endless. It makes people feel like they suddenly return to the world.
After such a fuss, the few people were not sleepy and the warning was lifted. It did not mean that there was no danger in the primeval forest. The few people simply took advantage of the fire to find some dry branches and leaves nearby, and made the bonfire prosperous, surrounded the fire and sat down.
Xiao Yang carefully checked the medicine rope he laid until he was sure that the ant would not get in. He also pricked the medicine bag hanging on the branches to make the medicine smell bigger. After doing these, he returned to the fire. Several people made the sound low and started chatting in a mess.
The large wild beasts that are active at night have a very sensitive sense of smell. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the fourth brother gave each person a portion of the dry food in his bag. It was long and he could eat something and drink some boiled water, which was better than being in vain.
Just as I finished eating the dry food that the old fourth child gave me and didn't have time to drink a sip of boiled water, a very smelly smell suddenly floated over. The smell was like a rotten corpse, with an indescribable fishy smell. It was extremely smelly. If you take a few more sips, you would feel dizzy, feel upset, feel tight, and almost vomit.
Zhang Can and Su Xun endured the disgust and observed dozens of meters around them, but found no abnormality. They couldn't help but be puzzled. Did the stench come from it?
When Xiao Yang smelled this, he immediately took out a few small pills from his backpack and distributed them to them. He took them in warm water. After a moment, the few people felt a little more comfortable. He was dizzy and didn't want to vomit anymore. However, the stench became stronger and stronger, which made people feel that it seemed to fall into a pit full of maggots and rotten corpses. Xiao Yang gave the gas mask to everyone, but it still could not relieve the stench.
Through the mask, Zhang Can asked Xiao Yang in a muffled voice: "Brother Xiao Yang, what does this taste like? It's so amazing!"
Xiao Yang took some medicine powder from his backpack and sprinkled it heavily around the fire. Then he called me a few and approached the fire first, and then answered Zhang Can: "Brother Zhang, this may be miasma. If you pay bad attention, it will be fatal."
The so-called "miasma" is a kind of poisonous gas produced by the humid and hot air in tropical or subtropical forests, as well as the corpses of poisonous snakes, insects, and leaves falling. The main reason is that no one effectively deals with the corpses of animals after death, and the high tropical temperature creates favorable conditions for the generation of miasma.
"However, I don't understand. Miasma usually appears when the temperature is high at noon," Xiao Yang said with some clues: "How come this miasma suddenly pops up in the middle of the night?"
The other people remained silent. If the previous roar was a fear of the unknown, the inexplicable stench should be a deep awe of nature.
Seeing the other people silent, Xiao Yang deliberately joked: "The "Jingyue Complete Book" by Zhang Jiebin, a famous doctor in the late Ming Dynasty, talked about a way to avoid miasma. He said, "The army and brigade went deep into the miasma and were all infected with diseases. The only camp was safe and sound. When asked why, everyone took cigarettes, and this spread everywhere. Now, the southwest side is in the middle of the year, and there is no difference between old and young, and it cannot be stopped day and night."
"That is to say, in the future, my brothers will have to smoke. Smoking can prevent the epidemic of miasma. Hehe, science is not scientific, so we won't comment. Everyone knows it. Just hide in the toilet and smoke next time, you must yell at my wife with confidence: 'The place where the toilet is full of miasma, am I avoiding miasma?'"
On the one hand, Zhang Can admire Xiao Yang Yao for being knowledgeable, but on the other hand, he thought that if he was the same as he said, he would be discovered by Su Xue when hiding in his toilet and smoking. He said to her with confidence: "The toilet is full of miasma, am I avoiding miasma?" What kind of expression would Su Xue have when she said this?
Will you give yourself a quit smoking order or a soft voice to list 1200 harmful effects of smoking on the paper, so that you can quit the cigarette every day after reading it? Thinking of this, Zhang Can couldn't help laughing. Why are you so embarrassed? You never smoke, but you must try it if you have the chance and see Su Xue's expression.
About a few other people had similar ideas, so everyone laughed softly together.
