The clouds above my head suddenly thickened, and in the afternoon, the sky became darker and darker. The clouds looked like they had been stained by an overturned ink bottle, and the gray and black were gradually blurred.
The two people stopped and found that the forest was deathly silent.
The birds overhead stopped chirping, the woodpeckers that could be seen a few steps away were no longer visible, and the little squirrels hiding in the pine branches disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Hanju had come so far, and estimated in her mind that she should have walked twenty or thirty kilometers. She was rushing along, and now her throat was dry and burning.
"Have you... have you noticed something a little weird?" Zhang Hanju held his thighs with both hands and gasped, his energy almost exhausted.
The road in the forest is uneven, and it's fine where it's covered with soft leaves. But if you go through low bushes lined with rocks, it's difficult and time-consuming.
"It's very quiet around here." Of course Shen Tianhuan also noticed it.
Zhang Hanju suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, "We shouldn't go to them, they will always find us and kill us."
Shen Tianhuan said, "Do you think I took this road to find them?"
"Isn't it?" Zhang Hanju preconceived the idea, thinking that he was really following the rules of the game.
"No." He was honest. "It's to take us out of this forest." He knew how dangerous it was.
"Can you walk out?" Zhang Hanju thought that the three-round battlefield must be held here.
"Maybe, we can give it a try," he said.
The first snowflake fell.
It fell into Shen Tianhuan's hand and melted.
Zhang Hanju raised her head, and more snowflakes fell on her face, "Is it snowing?"
She was stunned, "What season is it now?"
Shen Tianhuan said, "The snowing season should be winter."
"You don't know what time it is?" Zhang Hanju was a little worried about the future. She was afraid that she wouldn't survive if she teamed up with him. Although it was just a game, she somehow really wanted to win. If she met Yang Jiajia, she hopes to win her. Yang Jiajia is too arrogant. She sees the shadow of another person in her. She really wants to kill her directly and let her go first.
The water flowing from the mountain stream was not very strong. Zhang Hanju stepped on a big stone and stretched out her hand to pick up some water. She was about to die of thirst.
"Hey, don't." Shen Tianhuan stopped her.
But Zhang Hanju didn't listen to him, "I'm thirsty. Do you want to drink it? I finally found this water."
Shen Tianhuan told her, "If there are dead animals upstream that are not careful when collecting water, they will rot by the water. You may get abdominal pain after drinking this water."
Zhang Hanju is not afraid at all, "It's okay, I won't die anyway."
The worst case scenario is that if you die, you just quit, or else you have to start over, what else can you do?
Zhang Hanju held up a handful of water and said, "Do you want to drink it?"
Shen Tianhuan walked away.
"Why don't you have someone to deal with?" She said to herself and continued to drink a few more sips.
The sky had completely darkened, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. A frightening wind blew up in the forest, blowing and making the face feel a little cold. After a while, both of them were frozen to the point of losing their heat. Feeling.
"Find...a place to take shelter from the wind?" Zhang Hanju said to him.
He looked at it again and said, "Let's take shelter from the wind behind that rock."
"Okay." They walked over.
They didn't face the blowing wind directly, but the rapidly dropping temperature made it impossible for them to stay in the open air any longer.
Zhang Hanju thought that there seemed to be many rotten trees along the way.
I was passing by a place just now. There was a tree so big that seven or eight people could not hug it. A part of the trunk was beginning to rot. It must be that the tree was sick.
"I have a way to get us into a room to get out of the cold."
Shen Tianhuan looked around, "There won't be any family in this forest, so we can't stay overnight."
Zhang Hanju waved his hand, "No, we're not going to stay overnight. We're going to make a house ourselves to avoid the cold. It's inconvenient to walk forward after dark, so we'll find a place to sleep first."
"Build your own house?"
Zhang Hanju took out a knife and said, "Here."
"When did you bring it out?"
Ever since she saw Yang Jiajia casually turn the shark clip on her head into a knife last time, she knew the importance of carrying a sharp weapon with her.
"I took it with me when I came out of the manor."
She handed it to him, "Take it first."
"Give me?"
Zhang Hanju felt a sudden nausea. The cold could not freeze the urge to vomit in his body. "I'm going to vomit for a while first."
She squatted next to a tree, holding the trunk with one hand, bent over and vomited violently.
I hadn't eaten anything to begin with, so after vomiting for a while I could only vomit out some sour water.
"Are you okay?" Shen Tianhuan came over, caressed her back and patted her gently.
"I...vomit...I'm fine...yue..." There was another burst of vomiting.
Shen Tianhuan said quickly, "Is it because you drank that stream water that it's not clean?"
He persuaded her not to drink more than an hour ago, but she still refused to listen. Now of course she was embarrassed to admit, "Definitely not. I am... yes, my stomach is cold."
She squatted on the ground and vomited for a while.
Wait until she gets better and can stand up.
She struggled to walk to the huge tree, "Can you please dig out the rotten wood with a knife and see how deep you can dig."
He understood, "To make a tree house?"
"That's right." She nodded.
After saying that, her stomach began to hurt violently again.
In all likelihood, the water source was really unclean and she drank dirty water.
"I...I want to go to the toilet...I...you dig first, I will take over for you later..." She walked towards the end of the forest with empty steps.
"Hey, why are you going?" Shen Tianhuan called her, "I'll go with you, it's dangerous to be alone."
"No, no, no...I'm shitting, don't follow me."
Shen Tianhuan thought of her violent vomiting just now, "Go ahead, don't go too far, remember to come back soon."
The snow has already left white marks on the leaves, and the ground is like sparse salt. It has not accumulated thickly yet, but according to this method, it is only a matter of time.
By the time Zhang Hanju came back, she was exhausted.
She was dizzy, and if she hadn't made a special mark and the snow hadn't covered up the mark she made, she might have lost her way in the deep forest.
When I came back, I saw a small fire lit not far from the giant tree. I made a support out of wood and hung a small cup-shaped pot on the support.
Zhang Hanju came closer, her body had not yet warmed up, and she was very weak from dehydration.
The feeling of nausea has not gone away.
There was a cup-shaped container wrapped with green leaves and bark on top of the fire. Because the fire was scorching, the areas without water were scorched, and the color of the water was strange under the firelight.
"What is this?" Zhang Hanju rolled his hands into a trumpet shape. The wind and snow were a bit strong. Although there was no wind here, the wind blowing diagonally from time to time still blew the fire into a mess.
Shen Tianhuan was still digging a tree hole, "When I was a child, my elders told me that some herbs can cure diseases. You may have gastroenteritis. There are herbs in the water. After a while, the water boils, so just drink it."
"Thank you." Zhang Hanju moved closer to the fire and wanted to get in. She was so cold now that she couldn't breathe much heat.
How could this ghost game be so real, so real that her suffering was so real.
While Shen Tianhuan was digging a tree hole with his back to her, she opened the contact screen.
When she saw An Shuang this time, she almost shouted, "Are you okay?"
"Huh? Uh... yes, I'm fine, so I'm back to work." An Shuang said.
She lit the fire, and An Shuang's face appeared on the flames, giving her a hint of warmth. "Why have you been sick for so long?"
An Shuang did not reply, but asked her, "What's the matter with you?"
She turned on her physical signs and said, "Your body is losing heat very quickly, which may lead to hypothermia."
Zhang Hanju said, "I'm fine. I probably drank dirty water in the wild. My boss never trained me in this. How did I know there was such a step to survive in the jungle?"
Zhong Xingfeng also opened the contact screen, "It's not serious, just continue."
Zhang Hanju was indignant, "I vomited so much that my stomach bleeds. Why don't you pretend to be kind and compassionate?"
An Shuang hurriedly adjusted her parameters, "Just wait, it will be fine soon."
But Zhong Xingfeng rejected it, "This is the same as pain. You have already weakened some of her pain, and you cannot continue to weaken her other senses."
An Shuang was very angry, "Her current physical condition is very bad. If you are not careful, she will die immediately in the third round. I think this is not the result you want to see."
Seeing that she was about to contradict the boss, Zhang Hanju said, "No, no, no, I feel better. Look, there are herbs here. I'm fine. I'm very strong. Don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself." "
Zhong Xingfeng continued, "Remember to monitor your characters comprehensively and don't eat or drink randomly. Other NPCs may not necessarily kill you in the wild, but you may kill yourself, so be smart."
This was uncomfortable to hear, but she took it as concern, "Okay, I understand."
Then the two of them exited.
Zhong Xingfeng was quite right. She was just stealing the chicken but losing the rice. Before anyone could kill her, she dehydrated herself.
Shen Tianhuan worked diligently there. At the beginning, he dug the outside relatively quickly. Once inside, the wood became much harder and he dug slower.
Zhang Hanju drank the herbal water and rested for a while. Sure enough, the nausea disappeared and the abdominal pain no longer occurred. The character setting of Shen Tianhuan was wrong. He should be set as a doctor, Dr. Shen, who has a wonderful rejuvenation.
"Shall I take over for you?" She had already walked behind him.
Shen Tianhuan said no, "It'll be ready soon. You go and warm yourself by the fire."
Zhang Hanju knew that she hadn't recovered yet and didn't have enough strength, so she didn't say anything. She walked to the fire, found two branches, and cut each into a sharp shape. She also found what was left of Shen Tianhuan's tying rack. Bark, using slender bark, tied two branches together to make a simple fishhook. "I am really a genius." She praised herself in a low voice.
After Shen Tianhuan finished making the fishhook, the tree house began to take shape.
The tree trunk was very thick. Although he only dug part of it, it was enough for two people to nest inside.
He also dug out a crack next to the hole that served as the door, so that air could circulate between the two holes.
The two people nestled in the innermost place, extinguished the fire outside and lit the fire inside the cave.
"I found out that you are pretty good. You can use leaves as containers to boil water for me." Zhang Hanju praised him generously.
In Shen Tianhuan's hand was the fishhook she had just made. "You're not bad either. We can still fish with this fishhook tomorrow."
Zhang Hanju said, "Actually, when it started snowing just now, we should go back the way we came and go back to the manor, right?"
"It's definitely warmer in the manor, but do you still remember the direction of the manor?" Shen Tianhuan asked her.
This was true, she no longer knew where the manor was. Being let in, it seemed like she had entered another world.
"Don't you know the way out and the direction of the manor?"
Shen Tianhuan murmured, "How do you find a place that doesn't exist?"
It was as if he had already seen through the virtual and the real, reality and fantasy.
