Dream Guide - #448 - Chapter 448 Green Miracle
They rowed the boat to the far shore, which was separated from the beach where the savages were by a small forest. After landing, they dragged the boat into the dense forest and hid it, and then found a small cave with barely enough shelter to rest.
Everyone is tired, not only physically but also psychologically. Anyone who sees the scene of the end of the world and escapes from the desperate situation of death will inevitably be exhausted mentally and physically. Even Shen Ran is lying like a dead dog. On the rock at the entrance of the cave, its fur that was wetted by water and stuck together was drying in the sparse sunlight in the forest.
Only the crow was jumping around, sometimes jumping on Qingmu’s head, sometimes jumping on the stone and kicking his fat ass: “Quack, quack, you’re not going to die, are you?”
He turned over vigorously and meowed feebly.
The coal boss found it boring, so he jumped to Petru again, looked at the gun on his body and said: “Guagua, you almost died, and you are carrying such a heavy thing. I think you are just pretending to be tired. !”
Aoki also had the same question. When he saw Petru carrying Mrs. Larry, he was indeed at the end of his strength, but this guy refused to throw away the gun on his body.
He has more than one gun on him. In addition to the AK that was drained of bullets by the savages and the sniper rifle that was discarded because of inconvenience, he now also has a submachine gun, two pistols and more than a dozen magazines, and several more in his waist grenades. So many things weigh a lot.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Petru smiled sheepishly, took the gun off his body, shook the water, and began to disassemble it.
“My mental strength is not as strong as yours. Without this thing, I would not feel safe.” He skillfully disassembled the gun into parts and lined up the disassembled parts. “Hey, the gun you are wearing Give them to me, you have to find a way to dry them, otherwise they won’t be useful and they will explode.”
Aoki no longer had a gun on him. He and Su Huilan both gave Anderson their pistols, but there were still two grenades in their pockets. Su Huilan also had two grenades and a micro-blaster on her back. They gave their weapons to Petru and left him to fiddle with them.
Anderson took out his pistol and, as deftly as Petrew, took it apart and placed it on the ground.
Petru said: “Hey, man, you are good at your craft. Have you ever been in the army?”
Anderson said: “Yes, but I don’t like this thing. Fishing is much more fun than shooting.”
Petru glanced at his leg and said, “Okay, man, let me handle this thing. Be careful with your legs. It’s best to make a fire or something. It’s not fun to get the wound soaked in water.”
Speaking of making a fire, Aoki took out the matches and cigarettes and looked at them. They were all soaked in water and could not be used, so he threw them aside in distress.
He dumped the wet backpack out, and several packs of cigarettes and lighters fell out, as well as a willow branch on the ground.
There was nothing in his bag. When Petru and Su Huilan went to the island, they tried their best to pick practical weapons and tools, and only brought a small amount of compressed biscuits. However, considering that he also brought two foodies with him, he went to the bag. There was a lot of food stuffed inside. But the food was all taken out when they were in the cave. Except for eating some, most of it was left for Alice and Anderson, who might be floating in the flood at the moment.
Aoki tried the lighter, but it didn’t work, so he threw it together with the cigarette matches. He took out his phone again, threw it on the ground without even looking at it, then stood up and said:
“I’m going over there to see what those savages are doing. Boss Coal is coming with me.”
Su Huilan said, “I’ll go with you.”
Aoki looked at her soaked clothes and said, “You’d better stay and find a way to make a fire to dry the clothes, otherwise you’ll catch a cold.”
Su Huilan said: “Then you don’t need to bake it?”
Aoki said: “No need.” and walked away with the crow.
Su Huilan shouted from behind: “Be careful of traps on the road!”
There were indeed some traps on the road, but not many. Qingmu quickly passed through the forest and climbed up a small hillside. He saw many savages busy on the river beach, but he could not tell whether these savages were the ones who escaped with them.
The savages were divided into two groups. One group built rafts on the river beach, and most of them were women and children. The other group was in the forest above, apparently letting strong laborers cut down the trees.
What puzzles Aoki is, are these people making rafts going back? But their home has definitely been destroyed. It’s hard to say whether the island still exists. Where can they return?
He quietly got closer and found that the savages in the forest were not just cutting down trees, but building simple houses. The terrain they chose was very good, with a wide beach behind them, fresh water and plenty of sunshine, while the original trees in the forest could help shield them from wind and rain. In addition, they built wooden piles and beams, and used vines, Stones, branches and soil are used as wind-blocking walls, and some houses can already be seen.
It can be seen from their organizational division of labor that they are very skilled in this work, which makes people suspect that they often have to experience such disasters that have to relocate their entire family to avoid it.
In addition to building houses, some people were whittling wooden spears and making bows and arrows; others were pulling vines and hanging wooden stakes in the forest and hillside in the distance. It looked like they were setting up traps, but also a bit like building simple fortifications. .
When Aoki approached, he saw the savage wizard holding a wooden staff in his hand. He was instructing his tribesmen to bend two big trees and tie a net woven with vines between the bent trees. The net contained gravel and a large log. This giant tree bow can be judged from the size of the two trees. The force and area covered by the items in the vine net must be large.
The savage wizard glanced in the direction of Aoki, then turned back to direct people to work. He didn’t know whether he didn’t notice Aoki or didn’t have time to pay attention to him.
Aoki doesn’t plan to provoke these savages for the time being. He is a little afraid of the sacred wooden staff in the wizard’s hand. This wooden stick could communicate with the spiritual force field on the island. Although he didn’t know whether this place was the same as the original island, he decided not to take risks yet.
He returned to camp, where Petrou had lit a fire somehow, and Anderson was with him cleaning the parts of the gun. Both of them were shirtless, and their clothes were hanging to dry on a rack made of branches next to the fire.
Aoki saw fire flickering on the other side of the mountain wall. He knew that several women were hiding there to dry their clothes, so he didn’t pay attention and sat down by the fire.
Looking at the fluttering flames, his craving for cigarettes became stronger. He picked up the cigarette on the ground and looked at it. He found that it was still wet and rotten. He probably couldn’t smoke it until it was left in the sun for two days.
Sparse sunlight shines through the shade of the trees, contrasting with the red firelight.
He saw half a willow branch lying on the ground. Whether it was exposed to the light or soaked in water, it looked particularly green. There were even a few small teeth sprouting from it, which was a miracle of green.
He picked up the willow branch.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a strange vitality, as if he was holding not a small branch, but a strong tree.
The feeling assaulted his consciousness.
He thought of the old willow tree in Liuying Lane. For a while, he felt similar mental fluctuations in the willow tree. He once suspected that the tree could dream and tried to enter the tree’s dream, but failed.
Then at this moment, he clearly sensed the spiritual power coming from the willow branches. This power connects a vast space, like a dream.
But Aoki knows that this is not a dream, this is the spiritual force field on the island.
