Chapter 176: 1-mile Migration Journey (25)
night.
Sheh sat at the table, resting his chin on his hand and looking at the rain outside the window. "It's hard to drive when it rains."
Shi Jinzhe: "We should be thankful that the raindrops are of normal size, otherwise the car would have been flooded."
There were rustling sounds of crawling outside the car, and he knew without looking that there were insects passing by.
After checking the wooden boxes one by one, Shi Jinzhe sighed again: "This little butterfly won't grow this big."
"It's hard to say." Shekh twisted a strand of pasta with his fork. "We haven't seen the tree yet. We don't know how big the things here are. If the butterflies are going to come back here, they should be about the same size."
"If that's the case, I should be glad that it was handed to me after it emerged from a cocoon." Shi Jinzhe didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to hold a worm in his hand and look at the road every day.
"It said it's not a caterpillar." Sheh corrected him seriously, "It said it's beautiful. Don't say that. Also, you're not afraid of insects, are you?"
After Sheh finished speaking, he thought about it and felt that it was not right. When the leech was biting him, he acted very calmly.
Shi Jinzhe brought dinner and sat down next to her: "Not being afraid and not liking are two different things. I don't really like those soft and squishy things."
He can look at it, but he doesn't want to look at the twisted strips. He prefers Sheh's tail.
His affection was too obvious in his eyes, and Sheh took the initiative to kiss Shi Jinzhe on the chin.
"The reward is good. I can go on. Do you want to hear it?"
"That's not necessary. If you have a purpose, it's not sincere enough."
After they finished their noodles, Sheh opened a box of ice cream.
This was what she brought back after clearing out the supply warehouse on the 29th day.
Mixed flavors, dense texture, and won’t freeze your throat when you eat it.
Shehe took two bites, and Shi Jinzhe sat beside her and stared at her silently.
She scooped up a spoonful and handed it to him, pressing it against his lips: "Don't look at it, I'll give you a bite."
"you are so kind to me."
The two of them shared a box of ice cream and went to bed early.
The 42nd and 43rd days of the game were both passed safely.
On the 44th day of the game, the car left the grass and entered a tall and vast sea of giant trees.
Rows of trees stand tall and straight, with dark brown bark covered with vines and moss, and flowers in bloom. Looking up at the sky, a petal can cover the clouds.
The sun shines through the gaps between the petals. A thin beam of light changes from real to virtual as the viewing angle changes. Through the zoom of the eyes, it condenses into a string of gorgeous hexagonal halos.
The distance between the trees is wide enough, and it is easier to drive through them than in the grass.
Shekh put his hands on the car window: "This is the right place for me to live."
The tree looked sturdy, and she would definitely not be crushed if she climbed up it.
The snakes here are not afraid of her, and the butterflies here will even chat with her. It’s a really great place.
"Talk to the system and ask it if it's possible." Considering the previous anaconda and green tree python, Shi Jinzhe continued:
"But I think the rainforest is not a good place. It's hot and humid. It's not as good as the climate in this giant forest. There's not so much wet mud here. It won't make you dirty. If you want to live here, live here."
"…If you don't like those two snakes, just say so."
I was beating around the bush, thinking she couldn't hear me.
"Well, I don't like it."
In order to avoid Shekh's misunderstanding, Shi Jinzhe emphasized the reasons.
"It's not because they are snakes that I don't like them, but because they have ulterior motives towards you. I like snakes now, as long as they don't have any thoughts towards you. If they don't like you, I will like those two snakes."
……
"Are you saying a tongue twister?"
Sheikh was almost knotted by what he said.
"It's not a tongue twister, it's saying I like you." Shi Jinzhe had been with her for a long time and had long forgotten about being subtle.
Sheh liked the straightforward words and she didn't mention it again.
Anyway, she was just saying it and didn't really intend to do it.
The car drove through the sea of giant trees for a whole day. In the twilight, the two saw a dozen monkeys swinging among the branches.
His movements were hurried and fast, like an acrobat. He threw himself out with a flick of his arms and hung on another big tree.
Amidst the loud chirping cries, a black leopard leaped out from the treetops.
The last monkey was frightened and fell from the air, landing in the bushes with a thud.
Between the choice of catching the lone monkey and continuing the pursuit, the black panther chose the latter. With a kick of its powerful hind legs, it was able to jump over half the tree. However, its landing was unstable and it failed to catch the monkey it had set its sights on.
Having lost its original prey, the leopard followed the unfamiliar smell and headed towards the crashed car.
After a few seconds, the leopard sensed the threat, lowered its body and retreated, climbing back up the tree to hide its presence.
Shi Jinzhe sat in the car and waited for half an hour. There was no other movement in the woods, so he started the car and continued driving forward.
Sheh sensed the surroundings: "There are no other animals around, and the golden butterfly didn't dodge. It's safe."
"Well, look for a while. I don't know if the road behind can accommodate cars. Let's walk more today."
"You need to walk more. Butterfly just said it's going to be hard later, so you need to leave more time."
"It says nothing else."
"No more, just drive, I'll tell you if there's anything else."
Sheh kept an eye on the golden cocoon's condition the whole time, and there was nothing unusual until midnight.
Looking at the moonlight in the sky, she advised Shi Jinzhe: "It's too late, you need to rest."
"Then take a rest. I'll find a place."
At two o'clock in the morning, Shi Jinzhe and Shehe parked the car to sleep.
At night, when the wind blows on the huge flowers, plants and trees, the rustling sound of the various leaves rubbing against each other is very disturbing to the ears.
Shi Jinzhe tossed and turned in bed for a while before he fell asleep.
The next day, the two got up and continued on their journey, and as usual, they rested late at night.
On the 46th day of the game, which was also the third day after entering the giant forest, the road became narrower and cars could no longer pass.
At this time, Zhehe Shehe packed up the car and set off on foot.
The deeper you go into the giant forest, the denser the trees become, making it difficult for sunlight to get in. The two of them were walking on the bottom level, and their vision was very dim.
There was no other choice but to take out the golden cocoon and use it as a navigation and lighting tool.
Walking along the map, Sheh smelled a strong, pungent stench of decay in the forest.
"It stinks, a bit like..." She thought for a while and said, "Like the stench of a corpse."
"Corpse stench?" Shi Jinzhe was patted on the shoulder from behind. He stopped and looked back from the side where he was patted.
Shekh turned sideways and raised his hand to point in a direction, "Over there, that's where we are going."
Shi Jinzhe handed over a mask and said, "Put it on before you leave."
