Chapter 66 (1/2)
”Seems like I have gotten a preview of the death of our future enemy.” Chang stared at Qing shui, ”No wonder my parents always told me don't provoke someone that is smart…”
”Come on, I am no conspirator. I only do this for survival; there is never too many ways to protect ourselves.” Qing shui lightly pressed the iron box in his pocket, asked ”How far are they?”
”We are getting there; it isn't too far.”
”Let's take off the outer layer, there is too much pollen on it.”
”I agree.” Chang and Qing shui stopped and peeled down the uniform with caution.
”Do you think we can get to Zheng zhou today?” As Chang was removing the cloth, he asked ”I am just thinking of the theory of Food Web that you just told me, the aggressiveness of every species around us is on a whole new level that we didn't foresee.”
”You are right, especially those are evolving to bigger size, they need to obtain tremendous amount of nutrient; and the best and the most convenient way to do so is to predate others. Therefore…we should at least expect the rest of the journey is going to be tougher than before.”
”Regardless its toughness, we will endure it like we always did.” Chang took off the outer layer of pants, then he followed Qing shui to rejoin the troop.
”Did you find the compa.s.s?” One of the soldiers noticed their return and shouted with rejoice.
”Here it is.” Qing shui took the compa.s.s out from his pocket and waved to the troop. He immediately looked for Dr. Huang and asked ”How is everyone?”
”There are 2 serious injured persons, but the rest are fine.” Dr.Huang pointed at a wounded soldier, as well as Jing.
”How is Jing?” Chang carefully hunkered down to Jing and gently stroked on her forehead. He had a bad feeling that Jing had hurt herself severely before he left with Qing shui. Otherwise, she would have been following him around.
”Well… She is too young, even she had similar condition to others, she just got worse faster than others.”
”Chang…” Jing tried to mumble with her pale lips but only one word slipped through.
”Don't worried about me. Stay still and avoid talking, you just lost quite amount of blood, you'll get better when you wake up.” Chang touched Jing's hair and smiled grudgingly.
”I…” She still replied to him with one word. Apparently, she had been fighting to keep awake, but her will consumed all her strength in weakness. Therefore, after ensuring Chang's safety, she fell into deep coma for excessive blood loss.
”Ah…” Chang again emitted a long sigh - Without Jing's ability, the road ahead was more difficult.
Unusually, Qing shui groaned with frustration. He looked aside, said ”Ming Yi, can you carry the other guy?” He referred to the soldier that had become immobile.
”Of course.” Ming Yi took the order, he pulled up the soldier and dragged him onto his back with ease.
