Chapter 663: Every Step a Surprise

led, and he didn't notice that she was pretending to be asleep.Her heart was beating fast, even with her eyes closed, she was still very nervous.And strangely enough, he kissed her, and she found no r...After crossing the swamp, the air here became heavier, oppressively thick, like a low-pressure system making it hard to breathe. A heavy mist hung in the air, making everything feel damp and humid.

Joe Bao'er and the others were uncomfortable just standing there.

"Make a fire." This mysterious area even had carp with wolf-like fangs, weighing over 100 pounds. No one could have imagined what kind of dangers lurked around them. The sun had already set, and for now, they could only take things one step at a time.

"Try to build as many fires as possible, and gather as much firewood as you can."

In the darkness, firelight was their best weapon.

When Junzhi Mu spoke, Lao Gui and the crab held their countless curses in their hearts and stopped talking. They quickly went to work.

Because the firewood they collected was damp, it took them a long time to get a fire going.

"Are you okay"

They were a group of 17 people, with three bonfires blazing fiercely. The flames shot high into the air, illuminating each person's face with a mixture of fatigue and anxiety.

Usually, Old Ghost was the most composed. Today, encountering a carp, he became unusually restless. He sat cross-legged on the dirty, black clay ground and took out a palm-sized, treasured metal flask of liquor from his bosom.

Lao Gui didn't answer, instead, he heartlessly drank a gulp of strong liquor.

He came to the side of his brother whose thigh was bitten by a carp, leaving blood and flesh everywhere. The carp here were not only large but also ferocious, able to bite off a large chunk of an adult's thigh in one bite, the wound deep enough to expose the bone.

"...I don't even know if this fish is poisonous." The flames of the fire crackled, and they fell silent, all their eyes fixed on the injured man.

Lao Gui took another swig of strong liquor and sprayed it all over the mangled limb. The wounded man roared in pain from the alcohol sting.

On the island of savages, due to an outbreak of a mysterious disease, their medicine supplies were dwindling.

Qiao Bao'er watched quietly as these rough men treated the wounds in a simple and brutal way. She gave the unlucky injured man two antibiotics to prevent his wound from becoming inflamed. His face was pale, it must have been agonizing to be bitten by the big carp.

"...There shouldn't be any poisoning, and the surrounding wounds haven't changed color." Lu Qinian said a comforting word.

The burly wounded man struggled to lift his eyelids and gave him a weak smile, "That's wonderful."

They are all tough men, wouldn't they just grin and bear it in this situation

No one lingered in sadness for too long. They quickly set up a pot and started cooking, knowing that a full belly would give them the energy to keep watch in shifts.

If that dead fish hadn't been shot full of bullets, I'd have almost thrown it in the pot to make fish soup. "I think using primitive weapons here might be more effective than our guns," Crab said as he sharpened a thick wooden stick, making one end sharp and pointy.

To kill this fish, they fired over a hundred bullets. Besides being startled and shooting indiscriminately, using such a gun to shoot a bird was inappropriate and out of place.

A portion of the people in charge of tonight's dinner threw their previously prepared dried meat and some flavored fruit into a large pot of simmering broth, making a rich and savory stew.

The others were scavenging nearby for larger pieces of wood and sharp stones to make rudimentary tools.

Everyone held their iron bowls, drinking the hot soup. Lao Gui rummaged through the pile of weapons for a while and pulled out a pitch-black weapon, walking towards Qiao Bao'er.

"This flamethrower, here… don't go messing around with it, this thing is valuable around here." Animals, especially the feral kind, fear fire most of all, especially something as powerful as this modern flamethrower.

Perhaps out of concern for the vulnerable, Qiao Baoer accepted it without hesitation.

After all, if they are disabled again, that is another burden.

Early on, they ate and drank their fill, then started taking turns to keep watch at night. Lu Qinian and Qiao Bao'er were exempt from the duty of keeping watch, so they were put in charge of caring for the unlucky injured man.

"...The air here feels suffocating." It's like something is pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe.

Even if they were lying on their side, no one could sleep. There was a feeling of low pressure hanging in the air all around, making it impossible to feel comfortable. It was stuffy and hot.

The injured were enduring even more hardship. His face was pale with a tinge of green, almost gritting his teeth as he constantly endured the pain in his leg and the oppressive feeling in his chest.

Qiao Baoer glanced at him, knowing he was hurting. But there was no medical environment here, so she tried her best to comfort him, "If the wound doesn't get infected, you shouldn't need an amputation."

The wounded man, suffering intensely, looked up at her and smiled wryly. "Thank you for your comfort," he said.

Joe Baor earnestly replied to him, "You're welcome."

The wounded man was at a loss for words.

"Jo Bao'er wasn't very good at taking care of people either. She felt that maybe chatting with him could ease his pain, so she asked, 'I know there's a kind of herb with strong anti-inflammatory properties. Would you like me to pick some and apply it to your wound' "

"Will it hurt"

qiao baoer nodded, "it hurts, a sharp piercing pain that drills into the flesh, so painful it numbs you into thinking this leg doesn't belong to you."

Without waiting for a reply, she was surprised. "Being burned is pretty good, I'll go pick some." She said that, Qiao Baoer got up from her bottom, grabbed a burning torch from the fire and carefully searched among the nearby plants.

Lu Qinan was dozing off on one side when he felt the person beside him get up, so he immediately opened his eyes. "What's wrong Where are you going"

This wounded man was about to speak weakly, when their big boss's woman, as expected, was extraordinary. At this time, they all heard a buzzing sound coming from around them.

Helicopter Doesn't look like it.

This buzzing sound seems familiar, but I can't place it for the moment...

" Qiao Bao'er, be careful!" On the other side, Jun Zhimu seemed to have discovered something, and he shouted.

Jo Baoer was originally concentrating on finding herbs in the grass. She also heard a buzzing sound approaching her, growing louder and louder. Instinctively wary, she raised her head, and a black shadow flew straight towards her.

This frightened her eyes wide open. Junzhi Mu's voice brought her back to her senses, and she immediately panicked, raising the torch high and driving away the creature that had flown at them.

"Is something the matter What is it"

Lu Qinian was the closest to her, and he ran over quickly. The night sky tonight had not a single star. The torch she had just held up could only give a vague outline, resembling a gigantic flying creature.

Before Qiao Baoer could regain her composure, “Ah, be careful, everyone, be careful—” On Jun Zhi Mu’s side, four or five of these flying creatures were charging and crashing towards their people.

Everybody immediately rose up to fight back, grabbing stones and sticks at hand and hurling them into the sky. The scene was somewhat chaotic.

A flying black creature was smashed out of the sky and fell to the ground, followed immediately by a wave of putrid, bloody stench.

When people see this thing's long, bloodsucking proboscis, they can't help but shiver. Mom, this is the first time I've ever seen such a big mosquito.

That buzzing sound is made by the mosquitoes' wings flapping.

These mosquitoes are as big as kindergarten children.

Probably attracted by the bloody smell of the wounds, a giant mosquito flew straight towards the wounded man. Qiao Bao'er, regardless, grabbed a large iron pot and smashed it down, dismembering the giant mosquito on the ground.

An iron pot used to fight wild beasts That's quite peculiar, everyone was taken aback with a wry smile on their lips.

The only consolation is that these mosquitoes do not have much actual killing power. But if we were to encounter wolves, tigers and leopards, that would be a different story.his face, weathered by years of hardship, his eyes were still full of confusion."Get Qiao Ba'er out of the Jun family."These few words left the butler's mind blank, he mumbled sluggishly, "This...this...
