Fatigue and alcohol are the best sleeping pills. Dong Qiangqiang soon began to snore, but nightmares one after another made him sleep extremely unstable.
When he finally saw clearly that the person floating in the sea was Lao Bai, he couldn't help but roar loudly, but before he could shout, a wave knocked him firmly into the sea.
The helpless feeling of drowning made Dong Qiangqiang suddenly wake up from his dream. Only then did he realize that water was dripping from the rock above his head in the cave. His face and body were all wet. It was obvious that the water had been dripping for a long time.
He half sat up and leaned his back against the inner wall of the cave, panting and looking at the time. It was not yet five o'clock in the morning, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Through the gaps between the broken wood and stones that sealed the entrance of the cave, Dong Qiangqiang could vaguely see that the night outside had not yet faded, and he could also hear the sound of waves lapping against the rocks and ice regularly. It would be great if he could have a hearty breakfast and a nice hot shower now, he couldn't help but sigh, but it's a pity that now he only has cold and darkness that he can get for free.
It was very quiet outside the cave, except for the sound of the waves, there was no movement at all, but two of the fires were extinguished somehow, leaving only one pile still burning but not far from being extinguished.
He carefully moved away the stones and broken wood at the entrance of the cave, and gradually crawled out of the hole while holding on to the edge. The stars above his head seemed to be missing a lot. After moving his limbs, he felt that he was really hungry. , so he strolled towards the circular stone pile.
But it was a pity that there was not a single fish in the circular stone pile. He looked at the boundless sea and wondered when the tide would recede.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped from behind one reef to another. Although this flash was extremely fast, Dong Qiangqiang still noticed it.
"Is anyone there?" Dong Qiangqiang asked uncertainly in English. At the same time, he clenched the dagger in his hand, picked up a piece of wood from the fire with its head still burning slowly, and blew several breaths into the flames. , the flames suddenly became much bigger.
With fire and sword, Dong Qiangqiang is more confident. He cautiously and slowly retreated towards the entrance of the cave, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Could it be that he was dazzled just after waking up?
There was dead silence all around, and there was nothing weird. Dong Qiangqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to pick up some more branches to make the three fires more prosperous when he felt that he had noticed something strange with his peripheral vision.
There was a suitcase in his sight that was being pushed back and forth by the sea water.
suitcase? Floating on the water?
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly came back to his senses and was shocked. He clearly remembered that the suitcase was still tied to the man's wrist last night. Why did the handcuffs break? Isn't that man dead? A more terrifying thought flashed through Dong Qiangqiang's mind. He turned his head quickly and saw the man he fished out of the sea last night still lying quietly on the gravel beach, motionless.
The person is still there, but the handcuffs are broken? Corroded by sea water? Dong Qiangqiang took a few steps towards the other person in confusion, and boldly used the torch to shine on the man's hand.
Under the light of the fire that was swaying by the sea breeze, Dong Qiangqiang saw a horrifying scene that he would never forget: the face of the man he dragged from the sea to the shore was a bloody mess, and the man who was originally handcuffed The suitcase hand was missing.
This was the first time he had experienced this kind of scene at close range. He instantly felt a flash of electric chill on his scalp and back, and the chill immediately escalated into shivers. An indescribable nausea and panic emerged in his mind. His stomach contracted sharply, and a fishy stench surged out of his stomach. Before he could cover his mouth, vomit spurted out of his mouth and nasal cavity, splashing onto the beach and rocks in front of him.
He felt his knees weaken, and he knelt on the gravel beach with a "pop".
More acidic water flowed down his fingers to the ground. Dong Qiangqiang felt like he was about to spit out his throat. Just as he was about to wipe the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, he felt something running towards him in the distance.
He turned his head hurriedly, and what he saw rushing towards him was the leopard-like animal that he accidentally released last night, but this time he saw it clearly, and it was indeed a leopard on the other side.
He didn't have time to think about why there were leopards in Sweden, and he didn't care about being disgusted. He stood up and waved the torch and dagger in his hands, roaring heart-breakingly loudly, and also made matching facial expressions such as glaring, frowning, grinning, etc. A ferocious expression. He was not sure whether the beast in front of him would be scared away by him. He just wanted to convey the message that he was not prey, and sincerely prayed that the leopard would understand his good intentions. Of course, while doing all this, he did not stand still, but retreated towards the entrance of the cave at an imperceptible speed.
The leopard obviously did not expect Dong Qiangqiang's move, and the running movement stopped suddenly. It seemed to be confused by Dong Qiangqiang's movements, and stared at Dong Qiangqiang suspiciously, with fear and unwillingness in its eyes, but it did not leave.
Only then did Dong Qiangqiang realize that the leopard was missing one of its ears. It was obviously not the one he released last night.
At this time, he was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave where he rested last night. Seeing that the leopard did not continue to charge, and that there was a rock wall behind him, there would be no other dangers. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could think about his next move, he saw an identical leopard walking out from behind a rock not far from the man on the beach. The second leopard has full ears, is slightly smaller than the first, but looks more ferocious, with a regal look on its face.
Dong Qiangqiang broke into a cold sweat.
One was okay, but now there were two. How should I run away?
Just as he was racking his brains to plan a safe retreat, another leopard quietly jumped out of the dense forest next to him.
This time Dong Qiangqiang was completely at ease. He didn't have to deal with two, and now that he had three, he was just out of luck.
The three leopards stared at Dong Qiangqiang with bright eyes, and there was no way to retreat behind him. No matter which direction he ran ahead, one of them would be waiting for him right in front of him.
He swallowed and suddenly thought of the idiom "catching a turtle in an urn". It seemed that on the first day of the New Year, he would not be able to escape the fate of becoming the leopards' meal no matter what. But at the same time, he felt puzzled: Aren’t there no leopards in Sweden? Even if one or two captive pet leopards escape from home, aren't leopards solitary animals? When did leopards start hunting in groups? Or is the animal not a leopard at all?
Questions came flooding in, and he couldn't answer them at all, but he knew clearly that the top priority was not to study whether there was a leopard on the other side, but to find a way to get out of here first.
None of the leopards had any intention of attacking first. They just looked at Dong Qiangqiang quietly, as if waiting for an opportunity or discussing who would charge first. One of them even lay on the ground and licked his paws.
By the moonlight, Dong Qiangqiang noticed that the last leopard seemed a little unsteady when standing, and its hind limbs were lame. Not only that, there was a half-bloody palm print on its back.
Dong Qiangqiang was refreshed by this discovery. Could it be that Lao Bai also encountered the leopard in front of him? So is he alive or dead now?
"Old Bai, are you still alive?" Dong Qiangqiang roared, half of his long hair being messed up by the wind, "Just say something if you're alive!"
The strong wind carried away his message, but did not bring back Lao Bai's reply.
