Resurrected Disciple [End Times]

Chapter 68 Must leave a scar, right?

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the five people set off on time, and the helicopter was already waiting on the tarmac to take them to their destination.

They were very excited when they were used to sitting on a tractor. They all changed into a set of jungle camouflage and military boots, and each carried some equipment. Compared with the ragged appearance when they first escaped from the island, they can be said to be shotguns. Change the cannon.

Pei Qianxing and Shi Dong wore camouflage uniforms, and when they stood there, their originally imposing aura exploded instantly, crushing the audience, one was stern and the other was domineering, as if they were born to wear such clothes.

It was the first time for Deng Qi and Tian Lexin to wear camouflage. Although they were a little short in stature, they also had a completely new look and a little more rigidity.

Sima Jun, on the other hand, felt that something was missing when he first put it on. When he put on the white long coat and put on the glasses, he immediately showed his unique temperament. The white was against the army green, and the lenses reflected There was a cold light, and the smile on the corner of the mouth seemed to be there, and everyone agreed that it was complete.

But Deng Qi muttered: "He is so white and so conspicuous, aren't we all exposed?"

But no one cared what he said.

On the plane, Shi Dong took a large stack of photos: "Come here, here are the latest photos of Xishuangbanna taken by drones. Let's take a look and share a few photos with each person. Get familiar with them first."

The beauty of Xishuangbanna cannot be described in words. The tropical rainforest there is boundless, the flowers there are always in bloom, the fruits there are everywhere, and the girls there are all kinds of styles. But now they will face a mutated virgin forest. Mysterious, dangerous and full of unknowns.

Stacks of photos were stuffed into their hands, but it was hard to tell what was hidden in them based on the still pictures alone. There were layers and layers of green in sight, and the dense forest didn’t even show any signs of destruction. Everything looked so peaceful and beautiful.

"Our destination is the botanical garden in Xishuangbanna." Shi Dong held a piece of information in his hand, "According to the latest observations, 20.00% of the plants there are [-]% to [-]% larger than before, and the alienation directions of animals are countless. These are the pictures that were taken."

Stone spread out another stack of photos.

Huge, emerald green bamboo leaves, shiny purple, centipedes with strange patterns on their backs, dense hair, gibbons carrying a big tree, etc., and many other creatures whose species are no longer discernible, Constantly challenge their tolerance limit.

Pei Qianxing looked at each photo carefully, and opened the latest errata map silently.

Deng Qi's facial muscles stiffened: "Is that general sure he should send us instead of an army? For example, just drive the tanks in and grind them down?"

Shi Dong responded: "That's right, it's too bad, and he said he was in charge of food and housing, and he was thrown out after only sleeping for one night. Isn't it, Red Eye."

Pei Qianxing looked sideways: "You have the ability to say this in front of him."

"I'm praising him for his swiftness and decisiveness."

"The other person is not here, so stop flattering."

The straight-line distance from Kunming to Xishuangbanna is not too far, and they soon arrived at their destination, a temporary station of a field army.

"No problem, you go along this road, cross a river and you will find the botanical garden." The resident company commander received them and pointed them in the direction, "You can stay here for one night and start tomorrow morning, or start now, on the way We will pass by a Dai village, and it is okay to stay overnight with them, they are very nice people, and the journey takes about an hour.”

Shi Dong was surprised: "Is there anyone living in it?"

The company commander explained: "There are quite a few people. Most of the people we found were brought out. They were basically tourists or something. But there are many ethnic minorities in this area, and some of them are unwilling to go with us. We have no choice. Anyway, I told them that we are here, and if they are in danger, they can come to us."

"The area around here is full of tourist attractions, so there shouldn't be anyone who says they don't believe you?"

"That's what I said, but the changes in the forest have caused the population to migrate. Some villages that originally lived in remote areas had to move out, but even after they moved, they still refused to leave the forest. And some villages..." Lian Zhang Chang smiled mysteriously, "The life is much more comfortable than ours, you will know it after you go to see it."

Shi Dong was confused by him, and they discussed for a while and decided to set off immediately, trying to reach the village before dark.

Before coming, they considered whether to drive a military vehicle, but when they arrived, they found that the jungle was so dense that there was no other way but to walk. The originally built road was completely destroyed by wanton growth of plants, and it was difficult to distinguish the cement on the ground. bricks.If Xishuangbanna was originally a well-preserved tropical rainforest, it is now so pristine that no humans have set foot in it for thousands of years.

The criss-crossing branches blocked their way, and Pei Qianxing and Shi Dong took a machete to open the way ahead. Fortunately, they changed into new clothes, otherwise the clothes they used to wear would have been cut into strips by the branches.

The speed of travel was much slower than they had imagined. They struggled to open a path and moved forward slowly like snails.

The injury on Pei Qianxing's back hadn't fully healed, and he couldn't use it well. Every time he swung his arm, it would affect the muscles of his back, which caused pain to some extent. After a long time, his movements would inevitably be slow.

Shi Dong, who was walking in front, saw it: "Seriously injured, rest when you are tired, let Xiaojie go ahead."

Xiaojie also holds a machete in his hand, helping to clean up the neglected branches, Xiaojie will not feel tired, it is Sima Jun who is tired.

Pei Qianxing glanced at him and speeded up.

A drop of sweat was thrown off by him, drawing an arc, shining with the rays of the setting sun, and falling into the soil, Shi Dong felt his eyes sting a little: "Hey, I'm serious, the doctor said, you don't need this injury In the past, it was only two days before I needed a skin graft, so don’t try to be brave.”

Pei Qianxing said coldly: "I'm afraid that you are too delicate. If you are exhausted from cutting down human trees, you will be in trouble if you encounter monsters who are soft on you."

This is the first time for the rough-skinned Shi Dong to be said to be delicate, but Pei Qianxing has given him too many firsts, and he has become more and more brazen: "You are our treasure. What is rolling in front of you, you have to step aside."

Pei Qianxing suddenly stopped what he was doing and stared blankly at the branch in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Stone asked.

"The company commander said that they sent people to the village just the day before yesterday, so it stands to reason that this road shouldn't be so difficult."

Pei Qianxing handed the branch to Shi Dong. There was a half-split crack on the branch, revealing the bluish-white stem flesh. Thick white juice oozed from the flesh, quickly repairing the fracture, and soon formed a hole on the surface. layer film.

Looking back at the way they came, ten meters away, the road they worked so hard to open up has disappeared. That is to say, the branches cut off by them have grown back in just ten minutes.

Shi Dong took the broken branch and observed it for a moment, then frowned: "It wasn't mentioned in the chief's information, and the company commander didn't mention it just now."

At the same time, they realized a problem. This forest is growing and changing at an unusual speed. While every creature in the forest is mutating individually, it is quietly mutating as a simple and wild whole. It is like an overburden. Tens of millions of hectares of green monsters devoured foreign creatures, and Pei Qianxing and the others had already walked into the mouth of the monsters.

But Shi Dong just smiled nonchalantly: "Oh, what does it mean that the plan can't keep up with the changes, that's what it is, let's go on."

The two moved on.

It's all here, there is no reason to back down, this is their mission, as long as they have a breath, they will go all out to complete it.

More than two hours later, they are still developing in the jungle, and they have not yet reached the Dai village where they can stay overnight. On the one hand, the speed of progress is too slow; Coming and going wasted a lot of time.

As night fell, they saw no hope of finding the village, so they had to camp on the spot.

Fortunately, there are abundant products in the forest, and the fruits are much larger than usual. The bananas are as thick as a baby's arm, the dragon juice is sweet, refreshing and delicious, and the mangosteen is so ripe that it bursts when you break it lightly.Then stuff a few compressed biscuits with the fruit meal, and everyone is satisfied.

Deng Qi fell to the ground with his stomach in his hands: "I'm so full, I've eaten up to the mouth of my throat, and I'm about to vomit after another bite."

Sima Jun handed over a peeled, golden and attractive mango: "Do you want to eat the mango?"

Deng Qi jumped up: "Eat!"

Shi Dong held a pineapple the size of a basketball, and peeled off the skin piece by piece with a machete: "Hey, don't throw away the good food. Find a place far away and bury it later."

Pei Qianxing stared at the pineapple in his hand and felt very uncomfortable: "Your pineapples are too ugly to cut. If you want to cut a perfect spiral pattern, I will say that you are not good at knife skills. You have nothing but hand speed, and no one has set up a fruit stand. His sword skills are good, so I am ashamed to say that I am a night walker."

Shi Dong said with a dark face, "Then you do the cutting, Your Lady Queen."

Pei Qianxing lazily turned his head to the other side.

After filling their stomachs and cleaning up the garbage, everyone arranged a vigil and went to bed early.

Pei Qianxing was still tidying up his backpack, and Shi Dong stared at his back for a long time: "Have you applied the ointment?"

When he was at the base, Gu Zhenghang gave Pei Qianxing an ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis.

"Not yet." Because it was inconvenient to hurt his back, Pei Qianxing never took it to heart.

"Here, I'll paint it for you, take off your clothes."

Pei Qianxing took off his shirt and turned his back, exposing his back.

His almost rotting back had grown new flesh, and a layer of light-colored blood scabs had formed. The red, white and white pieces looked shocking.

Shi Dong stared blankly for a long time under the moonlight, his heart was heavy, and he didn't do anything for a long time.

Pei Qianxing turned his head strangely: "Hurry up and paint it, why are you in a daze."

Shi Dong squeezed some ointment, spread it on his skin, and spread it gently. He didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of breaking his tender scabs. The ointment was cold, and his back was hot. Alternately, Shi Dong was distracted.

Pei Qianxing was the most ticklish. When he touched him lightly and softly, even his internal organs were itchy, so he tried his best not to jump up: "Put harder, don't scratch it."

"I'm afraid of breaking your skin."

Pei Qianxing contracted his back muscles uncomfortably. He knew that he would not be allowed to apply it. Anyway, it doesn't make any difference whether it is applied or not.

The silver moonlight cast a layer of hoarfrost on his skin, and the contraction of the muscles contained a strong vitality, and Shi Dong was a little dazed.

"Your back..." He originally wanted to say that healed up quickly, but he blurted out, "Scars must be left all over?"

Pei Qianxing glanced at him as if he had seen a ghost: "Scars? I have many scars on my body. I was naughty when I was a child, and I even had a knock on my forehead. Fortunately, my hair covered it and I couldn't see it."

Shi Dong looked in the direction of his finger, and he found a very shallow scar above the corner of his eyebrow and close to the hairline, like a small and exquisite crescent moon, lying obediently on his forehead.

Move your gaze down, and meet a pair of clear eyes, those eyes are like a lake where meteors fall, and the moon god prays for them, shining brightly.

Inadvertently making eye contact, both of them were taken aback and moved away in embarrassment.

There was an unspeakable weirdness in their hearts, and the atmosphere was almost frozen. At this moment, they hoped that someone could bluff to break the deadlock, but Deng Qi, who was most likely to do this, had already fallen asleep with his rolling butt on his head.

After a long time, Pei Qianxing coughed: "Have you painted it well? It's been a while."

"Who am I doing this for? You're still not happy." Shi Dong retorted gruffly.

"Stop it, I'm going to sleep."

The medicine was almost wiped off long ago, Shi Dong took the opportunity to stop, and complained a few words that he didn't know good people.

Pei Qianxing didn't bother to talk to him, so he got into his sleeping bag and covered his head and fell asleep.

Shi Dong seemed to be practicing Zen, sitting alone in the silent night.

The next morning, Pei Qianxing was on the last shift.

He was bored watching the white light jumping out of the pitch black little by little, and the whole world gradually brightened from the darkness.

Suddenly he heard some thin and dense abnormal noises, got up to look around but didn't see any wild beasts.

After observing for a while, he suddenly realized something, only heard him yelling in the quiet dawn: "Get up! Get up quickly!"
