Chapter nine hundred and eighty first fleeing all the way
About an hour later, the sky was getting dark, and the savage tribe had been fooled by Li Fan and almost lost their way in their own land. At this time, John finally stopped and lay down on the ground. He couldn't move any more.
His breathing was intermittent, his face was pale, and his stomach suddenly churned, causing him to vomit all over the floor.
But he didn't even have the strength to support his upper body, and could only let his face stick to the muddy ground filled with vomit, but it was just gastric juice, and his stomach was already empty, without any food.
Li Fan caught up after only a few minutes. He walked over and said, "Don't worry, they were thrown away. It's impossible to catch up in a short time. Let's take a rest first."
After hearing this, John was not completely relieved, but at least he relaxed a little. After finally taking a few breaths, he had the strength to turn over and sit up: "Huh... man... I didn't expect that I could leave that village alive.
.”
Li Fan took out a lighter found on the plane from his pocket and handed it to John: "This can light a fire. You still have to get up and walk a few steps. There is a cave over there. Go to the cave to light a fire. I will give it to you.
Get some food and clean water, otherwise you will die before the savages catch up."
"Thank you... Gu Tian, without you, it would be impossible for me to escape."
"I'm also saving myself. It's a piece of cake to take you with me. You don't need to take it too seriously."
Li Fan didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand and went into the forest alone to find something to eat.
…
That night, Li Fan and John chose to rest in the cave.
After eating and drinking enough, John regained his strength, but his mental trauma may not be cured in the short term. If there are people in the world who can even sleep with one eye open, then John has undoubtedly joined this team.
.
Li Fan did not propose taking turns to keep vigil. He knew that the savages and natives would not conduct searches at night, because that would be half the effort and carry high risks. Hunters would not make such a choice unless they had to.
Darkness is the dividing line between civilization and primitiveness. People in modern society may be able to hide themselves quietly in the dark with the help of advanced equipment, but the only way for savages to travel at night is with torches.
In nature, any prey with brains will be scared away by light and heat, let alone John who has become a frightened bird.
This was Li Fan's second night in the rainforest, and he still didn't sleep well.
Li Fan originally only had to think about how to walk through the jungle alone and return to the civilized world outside. It would be best if he could find his inexplicably lost memory. But now, his strength has not been restored, and there is another person beside him who has no equipment and is exhausted physically and mentally.
As a burden, there is a group of indigenous people deep in the rain forest who may give him a dart in the dark at any time.
Being in such a situation, I am afraid that only a development like the Predator can make things worse.
Li Fan was not sleeping soundly, and in his daze, he heard someone calling him.
"Hey, Gu Tian, wake up, Gu Tian!" John shook Li Fan vigorously.
Poor quality sleep resulted in an immediate headache. Li Fan replied in a daze: "What's the matter?"
John hardly fell asleep, but he seemed to be quite energetic: "I heard noises outside, maybe the savages were chasing me."
As soon as he heard the word "savage", Li Fan became energetic.
"I'll go out and take a look." Li Fan stood up like a carp and walked away quickly.
He touched the entrance of the cave and looked around for a moment. He didn't see anything strange. He grabbed a few stones and threw them in a fan shape in three or four different directions. Soon there was a roar in the woods.
The sound of soothing.
He looked back at John: "It doesn't sound like a human being, it might just be an animal. What did you hear just now?"
John said hesitantly: "I'm not sure, oh, by the way, it came from the tree. Could it be that these savages sent people to climb the tree to investigate?"
Li Fan moved his gaze upwards and threw a few more stones, this time flying high.
Except for a few birds, no other living creatures reacted to the flying rocks.
"Maybe it was just monkeys, or maybe I alerted the snake when I threw the stone for the first time, and they have already escaped."
Li Fan thought for a while and then said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We should hurry up as soon as possible. Moving forward is the best way to escape pursuit."
John naturally raised his hands in agreement with this suggestion.
The two came out of the cave and judged their direction based on the position of the sun. They had reached an agreement the night before and continued walking north.
Because John's expedition initially explored from north to south, of course, their compass was not broken at that time.
With Li Fan leading the way, the difficulty for them to shuttle through the forest was greatly reduced. John said that he was an explorer, and his physical fitness and survival skills were better than ordinary people.
He was not injured to begin with. After a night's rest, his physical strength had recovered to 70% to 80%. Following Li Fan, it became very effortless to travel.
Even in this unfamiliar environment, their movements will never be slower than those of the native savages.
According to John's experience, as long as you walk like this for about three days, even if you still haven't left the rainforest, the pursuit of the savages will definitely have stopped.
The scope of action of primitive tribes generally does not exceed their own territory, and these savages who basically rely on walking for transportation will definitely not go to places that are too far away.
For them, leaving the territory requires the same courage as Columbus sailing to the "end of the world".
After walking for a long time, there was no sign that anyone was following them along the way. It seemed that John was indeed too suspicious in the morning, and everything was deserted.
By noon, the two of them did not stop lighting the fire. In order to prevent the reserved meat from deteriorating in the hot environment, they had roasted it to medium rare last night. This would also make it easier to rush on the road today.
So they just took a short break, took a few bites of tasteless bat meat, and then continued on their way.
These bats are really unlucky. They originally lived in that low-lying cave and didn't offend anyone. However, they met Li Fan. Not only did their home get robbed, they even became someone else's.
Food in the mouth.
However, it was also the first time for Li Fan to eat bat meat. The weird and smelly taste made Li Fan almost spit out the first bite he took. If he hadn't been hungry even though he had nothing to eat, Li Fan wouldn't have touched this ghost even if he died.
Something.
By the afternoon, the two of them had basically relaxed their nerves. They drove for most of the day, crossing swamps, crossing rivers, and cutting through thorns. They barely stopped, and then their speed slowed down.
At an unexpected moment, when Li Fan unconsciously looked back and wanted to talk to John, he suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eye.
