The male protagonist survives in the infinite game by supporting his wife

Chapter 168: 1-mile Migration Journey (17)

Shekh cut the branches that were blocking the road and said, "This golden butterfly better stop changing its route."

Shi Jinzhe: "I'm not afraid of it changing its route, I just really don't want to spend another day in the water."

The soil in the rainforest is full of moisture, and after a heavy rain it is unable to store any water. When you walk on the road, there is water everywhere.

There were all kinds of things in the water. When he waded into a small puddle, the leeches in it could suck his blood through his clothes. When Shekh threatened them, they got nervous and bit him even harder.

Sheikh walked ahead, knocking bugs off leaves. “That may not be possible,” she said. “We have to cross a lake and you have to soak in the water.”

Shi Jinzhe: "Let's build a raft. I'd rather spend more time than be visited by mosquitoes, frogs and ants."

The pain was not only healed by itself, but the leeches in the water were much larger than the ones I saw yesterday. They were as big as my forearm before they sucked blood.

If you bite it, a piece of your skin will fall off, and your body will be numb for a long time after it falls off.

Observing the surrounding environment, Shi Jinzhe began to look for suitable wood.

After walking for a long time, he saw a tall tree with thick oval leaves among thousands of trees. It was estimated to be at least ten stories high.

It is teak, which is moisture-resistant, anti-corrosion and highly stable. It is an excellent wood that will not deform or crack even when soaked in sea water or exposed to the sun.

Shi Jinzhe stopped and said, "I saw teak, let's use that."

Shekh followed his steps and turned back through the trees.

The butterfly knife made two shallow slanted cuts in both directions of the trunk. She curled her tail to one side and used her strength to break the teak through the cuts.

Shi Jin measured the length of the tree trunk and asked Shehna Lake how big it was.

"Soak for a day."

“…very good, concise and clear, with a clear concept.”

One day, it’s better to make it according to the size of the space ring. Anyway, there is a lot of water here. If there is a place to put it, take it with you, and if there is no place to put it, throw it away.

Shi Jinzhe drew a mark on the wood to make it easier to cut. "Let's make the raft this afternoon, rest here tonight, and leave tomorrow?"

"Sure." Sheh had no objection. "As long as the car is intact, we can catch up with the progress after the two-day delay."

The rivers here are two kilometers wide, and the lakes must be incredibly large as well.

She estimated that a full day of soaking would be possible in sunny weather without wind or rain, but it would be hard to say if it was windy and rainy.

If we drift to the middle of the lake and it rains in the middle of the night, we will be in a dilemma, so it is better to get up early tomorrow.

Shi Jinzhe was sawing wood nearby, and Shehe had nothing to do, so he just stared at him.

The rainforest is hot and stuffy on a sunny day, with the temperature approaching 40 degrees. Even if there is shade from the trees, working in this weather will quickly make you sweat and wet your clothes.

A piece of thin clothing that was folded at that time was wasted, and now the clothes I am wearing are those that were given to me randomly.

A loose pirate shirt with a large collar. When you bend over, the collar will swing down.

Even through the ribbon, the burning gaze was too strong. Shi Jinzhe stopped what he was doing and looked directly at Shekh:

"You can wander around for a while and see if there are any edible fruits, or take your car out and go in to rest."

If she continued looking at him like that, he wouldn't want to work anymore.

"What do you want to eat?" Sheh sat on the flat teak with his chin supported. When he saw Jinzhe stand up straight, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

She had to admit that humans also had their merits, and that a certain width and narrowness was more attractive than being straight up and down.

"It's all right. Whatever you have is fine."

"Then I'll pick it up."

Half an hour later, Sheh found a few ice cream beans, two bunches of ripe bananas, and some wild wax apples.

Walking back with the fruit, she wiped the wax apple and placed it next to Shi Jinzhe's mouth.

Although it’s not very delicious, it’s quite juicy.

"It seems I have maintained my human form for longer. It has been nearly three hours since we walked back, and I have shown no signs of changing back."

"Maybe it was affected invisibly by my skills."

Shi Jinzhe had thought about this question before. Other animals were interested in him, but his wounds would heal quickly and his blood would be cleaned up. Even though he was so far away, those animals would take the risk to come. They were probably attracted by his scent.

"You said before that the fragrance should be the energy that overflows from me. The reason why I can maintain my human form longer is because I am close to you. You stay with me day and night, so you naturally absorb the most."

"If I stay with you all the time, will all your energy be sucked away by me?"

Shi Jinzhe shook his head: "Not really, you haven't drunk blood for a long time, do you still have the need to drink blood during this period?"

After hearing this, Sheh remembered that he hadn't drunk blood for a long time. "There was some, but it wasn't very strong. I can't remember it if you don't mention it."

"That's it. I just changed the method of energy replenishment."

They are very close these days, which is a little different from before.

"Like a power bank." Sheh changed his understanding to a more popular way, but then another question came to his mind. "What if you run out of power?"

"Taking others' is like the sheep before." Shi Jinzhe assured Shehe, "I won't let my energy run out."

Sheh glanced at the bright sun at noon and said, "Would you like to take a rest?"

"Wait until I finish this." Shi Jinzhe stacked the peeled and sawed parts of the wood together and placed them in the shade.

"Then you do it. It's too hot. I need to go back to the car first."

We can watch it in the car as well, but it’s too sunny outside, so Sheh won’t accompany us.

After finding a good viewing spot, she opened the carriage. The temperature inside was still around 20 degrees Celsius in the morning, which was quite cool.

Turning on the air conditioner, Sheh changed his clothes.

She pulled the curtain in the car and watched for a while until it folded, then stared at the drooping branches outside.

Ten minutes later, he leaned over and fell asleep.

In the afternoon, Shi Jinzhe finished the work in one go and put the cut wood side by side.

Seeing that the sun was at its highest, he sat on the tree trunk and drank a whole bottle of water, deciding to finish making the raft.

First, use wood to build a square frame, then use ropes and rattan to tie the fixed points, and then place other wood on top.

Thanks to the skill's absorption of vitality, Shi Jinzhe now has considerable strength and can accomplish all of this by himself.

After the simple raft was formed, he went to find four relatively thin branches, cut off the branches, and fixed them to both ends of the raft. He still tied them tightly with ropes and vines to ensure stability.

He worked until the sun set, then Shi Jinzhe took out the front of the car and took out a piece of plastic film from the back seat of the cab, ready to put it on before going into the water tomorrow.

Putting the raft into the ring, he made sure that the raft would not be destroyed tonight before setting off.

His clothes were so wet that water could be wrung out of them. When he returned to the car, the first thing he did was to go to see Sheh.

She was hugging her pillow and still sleeping. As a snake, Sheh had an obvious preference for temperature. He would become sleepy if it was too hot or too cold.

Seeing that she was resting, Shi Jinzhe felt relieved and turned around to take a shower. When he finished taking a shower and just sat down on the edge of the bed, Sheh hugged him from behind.

"Are you awake? Or were you woken up by me?"

"I was awakened by your fragrance."

"Just smell it if you want to wake up from the fragrance," Shi Jinzhe held down the hand that had been inserted from the hem of his clothes, "You can't smell the fragrance with your hands."

"I do not."

At noon, Shi Jinzhe was sweating, which Shehe disliked, but now he was clean, so he had to hurry up.

A few fingers that could move were placed on the waist, and the thumb slid down from the mermaid line, and ended up getting stuck at the hip bone. Touching the edge of the waistband, Sheh said, "It's really in the way."

"If it doesn't get in the way, it's just hooliganism."

Shi Jinzhe was often surprised by her unusual words.

The words reserved and shy are completely insulated from Sheh. She always speaks out her desires and thoughts in a plain and straightforward manner, as normal as eating and drinking.

"Not surprising." Sheh pulled his hand away and turned his body from behind him: "Before I met you, I didn't know there were so many fun things. Sleeping and eating are the things I am most familiar with. It's instinct."

"What about after you get to know me?" Shi Jinzhe supported his arms at his sides and leaned back to make room for her to get closer.

"After meeting you, my instinct tells me that eating and sleeping with you is what I need most."

Together is a good word. Shi Jinzhe liked it very much and continued to ask: "How do you say your need? How can it not be like?"

"Because needing came after survival, but needing you now comes before survival, and I really want you."

At this moment, my throat tightened. It was really unbearable.

Why does this round of game take so long?

He said to Shekh, "It would be better if you weren't a prop."

It's not a prop, so it won't fall. Don't worry about it disappearing. Without these worries, Shi Jinzhe will definitely kill herself and kick her out of the game right now.

Sheh pressed his body against hers, and he didn't know how she held up her body. Anyway, when she leaned over and kissed him on the chest, he was a little dazed.

The half-open clothes were really convenient. At first it was just a simple touch, but then she opened her mouth and added other actions.

The hot and wet kiss started to move downward from his heart. It was not a deliberate temptation, and he was the only one who was nervous.

Shi Jinzhe stopped her in time and said, "Come up."

The hand intertwined in her long black hair lifted the back of her neck, as if she had drunk too much alcohol and her nerves were numbing.

The sun goes down and night falls.

Shi Jinzhe leaned on the pillow and rubbed his neck with his fingers.

Being in love makes people lazy.

He was very hungry, but he didn't want to move at all.

"What are we going to eat tonight?" Sheh leaned to one side, stretched out his legs and rested them on the wall, poking them with his fingers to see the flesh on his legs sink and then bounce back.

"What do you want to eat?" Shi Jinzhe followed the movement of her hand and looked at Sheh's legs.

Four hours, not counting the time for sleeping, she can use her human form most of the time.

"Whatever, it's just a little food, you can eat anything."

"Then I'll watch and do it."

After ending the meaningless conversation that was repeated every day, the two of them had the same dinner as yesterday.

After dinner, they walked a little further away and brought some wild wax apples to quench their thirst on the road and save drinking water, and then went to bed on time at ten o'clock in the evening.

Day 9 of the game.

Six o'clock in the morning.

The two returned to the original shore, fixed the plastic film, found two bamboos to use as oars, and pushed the raft into the water.

The buoyancy is very good, and when a person stands on it, the wood only sinks a little more than half.

Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of banana leaves on the shore and chopped some off to take away.

When the time is up, turn around and paddle the raft outward, returning to the river where we came from.

Shekh paddled his tail below, holding up a banana leaf to block the sun. "Go south, the river in the rain forest on the map is W-shaped, parallel to the river, very obvious."

"Got it. I'll keep an eye out."

By the afternoon, the weather was a bit cloudy. The clouds were blocking the sun and were very low. There were some birds flying quickly over the water.

A huge black shadow swam under the water, and I finally saw clearly that it was a giant arapaima.

This kind of fish in the original world could easily break a person's ribs and send the person to the hospital.

In the game world, this creature underwater is almost as big as a whale. It is definitely no problem for it to hit someone and send him to the morgue.

However, the fish did not attack anyone. After overtaking the car, it sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.

Sheh also saw the arapaima, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she reminded Shi Jinzhe, "We have to hurry up, the butterfly is flashing again."

The flickering frequency is not as high as it was on the grassland, so there is still room for buffer.

"How far are we from those woods?"

"As long as it doesn't rain, it'll be almost evening."

Shi Jinzhe nodded in front without saying anything, indicating that he understood.

As long as he doesn't say the word "rain", it won't rain.

As he wished, no matter how the clouds above their heads rolled, it did not rain, and the wind direction was also friendly, pushing them forward all the way.

After eating two pieces of fruit to quench his thirst, Shi Jinzhe saw a familiar "rival in love" underwater.

The anaconda stupidly circled around Shekh's tail and then swam away. No one knew what it meant.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the shadow of land appeared in Shi Jinzhe's sight.

There were many crocodiles lying on the shore of the rainforest. They looked over with their round eyes, stared at the raft for two seconds, sank to the bottom of the water, and ran away.

Shi Jinzhe sighed: "It's more useful to have you with me than anything else."

Shekh flicked his tail underwater, and some piranhas jumped out of the water. "It's not just because of me."

She looked back and saw that the rainforest they had come from was no longer visible, but Sheh had a premonition that if they were still there, they would be in extremely dangerous situation.

"You mean like those running wildebeests?"

"Well, some danger threatens them."

Sheh didn't give off much of a dangerous aura, and these crocodiles were big enough that they wouldn't turn around and run away when they saw her.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far and they didn't know what was happening there.

The first rainforest under the same sky.

Black fog spread in the jungle, moisture in the air evaporated quickly, and the green leaves curled up, turned brown, and withered.

The lush rainforest instantly turned into a dead forest shrouded in black mist. Animals that were not evacuated in time turned into bones, fish bellies turned white, and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

When night falls, it is like a forbidden place for all living beings. Even breathing becomes sticky and only the sense of death is in the air.

The fog finally stopped at an open space on the shore.

There are a few green branches here that cannot be corroded, and they are the only remaining signs of life.

The expansion stopped, Sheh sat on the shore, closed the wooden box, the golden butterfly stopped flashing, the warning stopped, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.
