The steak knife was slowly but firmly inserted into Jia Lai's eye socket. The tip of the knife was about to touch the eye mask, but the next second, Zhang Heng suddenly withdrew the knife in his hand, and then inserted it at his feet without any warning. on the sand.
On the other side, Jia Lai not only did not feel the joy after escaping from death, but a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Zhang Heng could finally see what the thing looked like under the sand. It was a rattlesnake, one of the most terrifying poisons in the desert. Unlike other poisonous snakes, its toxin can produce a special kind of poison after entering the human body. The enzymes cause muscle decay, damage nerve fibers, and may even cause brain death once they enter the nervous system.
After being bitten by a rattlesnake, if the venom injected exceeds a certain amount and the antivenom cannot be injected in time, the chance of death is very high.
Judging from the tail ring, the rattlesnake nailed to the ground by Zhang Heng should have just reached adulthood. Its body length is about one meter, and its yellow-brown skin makes it difficult to spot among the sand and dust.
However, under normal circumstances, rattlesnakes are not very aggressive and rarely attack humans. Unless they are cornered or angry, their first choice is to escape. And now that the wind and sand outside are so strong, rattlesnakes It is also impossible to risk being swept away to hunt.
Therefore, there is only one possibility for this rattlesnake to appear here.
"Do you really think that I will completely believe what you said? The prop that you found from Nancy that can communicate with animals in a certain area has not reached the final number of uses." Zhang Heng He said calmly.
"So you have been preparing for this?" Jialai asked in surprise, and then he remembered something, "We encountered a coyote last night, and you didn't abandon us and run away, was it because you suspected that the situation at that time was related to me? ?”
Zhang Heng nodded.
"Tsk, tsk, what a troublesome opponent."
While talking, Jialai also took the time to regain his strength. He took a few breaths of air greedily, but then the sand in his throat made him cough violently.
"Ahem, okay, let's count this round as a tie. Next round...next round I will find a way to kill you."
"There is no next round," Zhang Heng said calmly, "That's it. If I weren't waiting for you to use your final trump card, do you really think that you can maintain a stalemate with me until now with your skills?"
As Zhang Heng spoke, he grabbed the tail of the rattlesnake and cut its head completely open with a sharp steak knife. Zhang Heng threw the rattlesnake's body far away, then pulled out the knife inserted in the sand and took it back. With his hand in his hand, he walked towards Jialai. His physical strength seemed to have been exhausted.
"What kind of monster are you?" the latter smiled bitterly, "This is my eleventh round of the game, the fifth round of solo queue. I have seen all kinds of players, including some powerful guys, but like This is the first time I have met someone who is so almighty and seems to have no weaknesses at all. How is this possible? How many games have you experienced?"
"If you don't count this time, there will be four rounds." Zhang Heng paused.
"But for me, this four-round game is long enough."
Jia Lai raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to want to say something else, but when Zhang Heng walked in front of him, his whole body suddenly rose up from the sand, and at the same time he used something unknown. At that moment, a stone the size of an apple was held in his hand and it hit Zhang Heng's temple crazily.
Zhang Heng's expression did not change, he just turned sideways. The next moment, the stone thrown by Jia Lai failed, and he staggered two steps under the influence of inertia, and then fell to his knees in the sand. But then Jialai discovered something that horrified him. The clothes he had wrapped around his face to block the sand and dust were missing.
Almost at the same time, he ate a mouthful of sand, and his coughing became more and more violent. Jia Lai knew how dangerous it was to expose his mouth and nose to the sandstorm, and he didn't care how funny he looked now. , and he quickly took off his pants, but Zhang Heng did not give him another chance.
He used the method that Jia Lai used to deal with him before and directly strangled the latter's neck from behind. Jia Lai opened his mouth desperately. However, the harder he tried to breathe air, the more sand he inhaled, and Jia Lai's expression also changed. Becoming more and more frightened.
He wanted to open Zhang Heng's arms, but the lack of oxygen caused his physical strength to drain away faster, and his brain became more and more confused. However, just before Jia Lai lost consciousness, he faintly heard jeep again in his ears. The roar of the engine showed that the NASA people were not far away from them. The captain was also shouting their names loudly, but his voice was blown away by the strong wind not long after it spread.
Jia Lai never thought that he would be so eager to be found by NASA at this moment. He used his last bit of strength to open his mouth and tried desperately to make a sound. However, Zhang Heng behind him also heard the approaching vehicle. Hearing the sound, Zhang Heng grabbed a handful of sand from the ground with his other hand and covered Jia Lai's mouth to ensure that the latter could not make any more noise.
He was very patient and waited for two and a half minutes. Only when Jia Lai's resistance in front of him became weaker and weaker, and there was no more noise after that, did Zhang Heng let go.
The expression on Jia Lai's face also froze at the last moment. His fear, unwillingness, and despair all fell silent. However, by this time, Zhang Heng had been in the sandstorm for nearly half an hour, and he began to feel Discomfort of throat and skin.
The sand in the wind penetrated almost everywhere, along his collar, the seam of his shoes, and even penetrated the clothes covering his face, hitting his body. The current wind speed had even reached more than 100 kilometers per hour.
Zhang Heng checked Jia Lai's body as quickly as possible, took away the game props from the latter, then grabbed the emergency backpack he had thrown aside, and walked back to where he was standing before. Judging from the sound of the engine, The jeep probably didn't find them in this area and was driving away. Zhang Heng took out the flare gun from his emergency backpack and fired a shot into the sky above his head.
The red flares soared rapidly in the sandstorm, and the loud noises made by the flare guns when firing also spread far away.
After a while, the jeep car finally started to turn around, and the roar of the engine was getting closer and closer. Zhang Heng could already see the front lights of the car through the yellow sand in the sky.
Half a minute later, the jeep stopped in front of him. Because the visibility was too low, the driver was startled when he saw Zhang Heng suddenly appeared in front of him. Fortunately, he stepped on the brakes in time, and the captain immediately opened the door. Let Zhang Heng go up.
"What about the rest?"
"I didn't see them. The wind and sand were too strong and we got separated."
The captain nodded and patted the driver's seat in front, "Gibson, let's take a walk around the area and see if we can find them."
