Inside Wuling Hongguang, the three people stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Song Wenbin looked at the last bar of oil displayed on the oil gauge and sighed secretly. It turned out that the car's oil gauge was broken. It looked like there was one bar of oil left, but in fact there was no oil left. This led him to misjudge the performance of his car.
"Strong, but not much stronger."
Huo Yu was the first to break the silence.
The tone was somewhat gloating.
"what to do..."
Sutina covered her face in despair and laughed helplessly: "This is too ridiculous."
"Cold salad." Song Wenbin sighed.
"I suggest waiting to die and letting lions or hyenas eat us, so the ratings can be greatly improved."
With that said, she climbed half out of the window and shouted to the camera crew behind her: "We are ready to wait to die! Are you satisfied!!"
Song Wenbin covered his head. To be honest, this was the first time he had encountered this situation. If he had known about it, he would have prepared more gas in the car. Fortunately, nearly ten years of outdoor live broadcasts made him react quickly. He looked at the setting sun in the distance and said, "We can't sit in the car. Ten kilometers is not a long road. We can walk there and finish shopping." Gasoline comes back.”
"Walk over, is it too late?"
Sutina asked worriedly.
"It takes one hour and five kilometers to get there in two hours, but if we go too slow, it will get dark. We will be trapped in the wild. Maybe that's what the film crew wants to see, but it's not what I want to see. Song Wenbin said and jumped out of the car: "Hey, you don't want to spend the night in a place like this, do you?"
Huo Yu looked at the sinking sun and said, "But it's getting dark. Are you sure you want to walk there?"
"This is the equator, it won't get dark that fast." Sutina said, "Song Wenbin is right, let's set off as soon as possible."
With that said, she bowed her waist and got out of Wuling Hongguang, following Song Wenbin.
Although he was very reluctant, even though he was about to be slapped in the face as soon as he said harsh words, when he saw his two companions getting out of the car, Huo Yu chose to jump out of the car and followed Song Wenbin and Sutina forward.
The cameraman of the film crew was also extremely single. When he saw them jumping out of the car and walking, he jumped out of the Hilux and followed them with a camera.
Although the sun was about to set at this moment, the air was still hot and hot. Before walking very far, Song Wenbin was sweating profusely, and the two girls beside him were also covered in sweat. They didn't have much communication, and they didn't even have the intention to see the scenery of the African continent. They just focused on walking.
After not walking far, the three of them stopped. What appeared next to them was a skeleton of unknown objects. Although the skeleton had been chewed clean, the red bones still showed that the animal had just been eaten not long ago. .
Song Wenbin swallowed and asked Sutina, what kind of animal is this?
The college student went up to take a look and said with concern: "It's an antelope. Look at the horns, they look like swords."
Song Wenbin couldn't help feeling dizzy when he saw that the horns on the skull were as long as his own legs. He asked Sutina: "Didn't you say that there would be no large beasts here due to the dense population?"
Sutina looked pale and said: "I don't know... maybe there are West African lions... There seem to be very few of them... There are rumors that they are extinct or critically endangered... .”
"Few but not none."
Huo Yu said softly, she squatted down, pointed to a footprint on the ground and said, "Look."
She opened her palm and placed it in the footprint. The footprint was nearly three times larger than her palm.
Sutina staggered on her feet and was a little unsteady on her feet. She trembled and said, "I...I just read some...records in the book...I have never really been to this kind of place...I'm sorry... ..."
Song Wenbin stared at the footprints for a moment, then picked up the antelope horn from the ground and handed it to Huo Yu, saying, "When the lion comes, just lean on me."
Huo Yu's expression became extremely strange. She looked at Song Wenbin up and down and said, "Aren't you afraid that your fans will know? A misogynistic anchor is actually begging for girls' protection?"
"I've been banned, and if we are really eaten by a lion, I'm afraid this show won't be broadcast. I want to be hated while I'm alive." Song Wenbin said.
"Then give me a gun. Even if the lion comes, I can't save you."
Having said that, Huo Yu still borrowed the antelope's horn and slammed it against the tree trunk nearby.
Her skull was shattered, and she grabbed one of the antelope horns with one hand, like holding two long swords: "But you can still protect yourself."
"Can you really defend yourself against a lion?"
Sutina asked with eyes shining.
"It's okay, sister." Huo Yu comforted Su Tina, "When the lion comes, we can just stab Song Wenbin to death. If it eats Song Wenbin's dying body, we can take the opportunity to escape."
Song Wenbin:......
Even so, after seeing the antelope's skeleton, the three people still leaned closely together, looking around vigilantly as they walked.
Song Wenbin was even in a trance at a certain moment. Just three or four days ago, he was lying quietly in a residential building in China watching videos. Three days later, he was in the wilds of Africa, guarding against being eaten by a lion. He felt that either he was crazy or God was crazy.
"The lion may have eaten enough... That bone looks very new... We are not far from our destination now. If Baidu Maps didn't lie to us, then this should be the boundary of its territory. After all, this beast should I also don’t want to get too close to humans... In this case, it may have chased prey and killed it at the border. If I were that lion... I would have returned to the center of the territory to sleep after eating the big meal. You won’t always stay at the border, right...it must be like this..."
While walking, Sutina was still thinking quietly, and she didn't know whether she was comforting others or herself.
Suddenly, accompanied by a short scream like a dog being stepped on, Sutina, who was thinking casually, suddenly ducked and hid behind Huo Yu. But since she is half a head taller than Huo Yu, this posture looks very funny.
"what is that!?"
She pointed forward in fear: "Red!"
Something was shaking in the grass in the distance. It was red and hard to see clearly.
Song Wenbin remained motionless. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid of walking in this place. Su Tina's shout just now made his heart almost stop.
Huo Yu was very courageous. When Song Wenbin petrified Su Tina and cowered, she sauntered forward, holding the antelope horns while cutting grass. After playing grass for a while, she turned back and said: "Monkey Butt, it's a group of monkeys."
Song Wenbin lifted the petrification and relaxed a little.
Sutina then opened her eyes, stood on tiptoe and took a few glances, then became nervous and said, "It's not a monkey, it's a baboon."
"What's the difference?" Huo Yu said, walking in front with his head held high and his chest raised.
"Baboons are big and have sharp teeth."
Sutina was still worried.
Huo Yu said in surprise: "What's so scary about baboons? You have to know that you are the top animal on the earth. Your ancestors have defeated these things for hundreds of thousands of years and walked out of Africa. Come out with some courage to return home." .”
Su Tina was speechless, and Song Wenbin was speechless as well. He couldn't understand how Huo Yu could interpret walking in the wilds of Africa as returning home in rich clothes.
But the reality unexpectedly recognized Huo Yu's courage. The baboons did not attack them. Instead, after seeing a group of them coming, they jumped on trees or rocks and watched them from a distance.
After the three of them passed through the baboon's territory, the open plains gradually disappeared and the ground was replaced by rolling foothills again. Tall palm forests could be seen everywhere. This made Song Wenbin relieved. Lions probably did not live in the woods.
After walking for about a kilometer, human activities became obvious, the most obvious of which were the ruts on the ground made by countless motor vehicles. And the dirt road is as bumpy as a bonsai.
It's just that the sun has sunk below the horizon at this time, and there are no cars on these roads. In order to arrive before they completely lost their vision, the three of them accelerated their pace and started jogging all the way.
After running for about half an hour, it was completely dark, but Song Wenbin finally stepped on the solid cement road. This was a north-south road, and they ran directly from the wild onto the road.
After looking at the navigation, Sutina took them south and ran for another twenty minutes. Finally, they came to a place with lights on.
At this moment, Song Wenbin was out of breath, holding up his legs like a dead dog and panting. Su Tina was also leaning on the telephone pole with her arms crossed, out of breath. Only Huo Yu was like a normal person, even still doing pull-ups. , as if she was just going on a daily night run.
After taking a short rest, they began to wander aimlessly in the small town. After leaving the wilderness, they were not so anxious. Huo Yu's mood improved a lot after exercising, and he started talking and laughing with Sutina again.
Song Wenbin still remembered their mission to buy gas. After all, their car was still parked in the wild and they had to send gas back.
Not long after, they saw a gas station on the roadside. However, the strange thing was that the gas station with the Shell Oil brand was now extremely deserted. The gas station was overgrown with weeds and the fuel tank was rusty. It was unknown how many years it was. No one has used it. On the north-south road next to the gas station, cars roared through from time to time, one after another.
Song Wenbin stood in the gas station, feeling very strange and asked: "Why did this gas station close down?"
"It's not managed well."
Huo Yu shrugged indifferently and went to find someone else.
So the three of them continued to move forward. Not long after, they found another gas station. It turned out that this gas station was even more dilapidated. Not only was the gas tank rotten, but even the sign was toppled, leaving only ruins and a pile of weeds. by the road.
And there are cars speeding by on the roadside.
Song Wenbin was a little confused, wondering why the gas station closed down in a place with so many cars. Sutina also frowned and kept touching her chin.
However, after experiencing so much, the closure of the gas station did not stop the three people from looking for gas, and they continued to search. Finally, they found a gas station that was open when they entered the city, and the lights were on.
Song Wenbin was overjoyed and was about to go refuel when Su Tina held him back. Sutina whispered cautiously: "Don't you think it's strange?"
"What's weird?" Song Wenbin asked.
"Look, this gas station is on the side of the road, but there are no cars going in to refuel."
Song Wenbin stared at the gas station carefully for a long time. Indeed, this gas station was open for most of the day without a single customer, and no passing car came in to refuel.
