Chapter 142 Crisis!
Chapter 142 Crisis!
The next few days were fine, but gradually new problems arose.
It was too cold at night and the females couldn't sleep. As time went by, their complexion became worse and worse. Even so, several of them with fever were sent to the back.
Soon, someone followed Zhou Manman and An Lina's example and tied animal skins on the males to rest.
But the males are large and of all shapes and sizes, and they rarely bring hides that large. If the scattered hides were sewn together, they would collapse when the females got on top.
In order to ensure that the females can reach their destination safely.
The chief had no choice but to send orcs to find vines and tie them to the males. Although this was a bit constricting, at least the sleeping problem was solved.
The continuous heavy rain has turned the sky as black as ink.
The time of day and night can only be determined by the slightest changes in the sky.
Nothing happened for several days. The orcs began to complain as they had to travel every day, not have enough food to eat and not have enough sleep.
There are only two points to complain about.
First: The current living environment is too bad.
Second: If they were in the tribe, they might have rebuilt their houses by now.
Zhou Manman lowered her eyes slightly and concentrated on eating the barbecue in her hand.
There was food in her space, and she would occasionally steal some in her sleeping bag. She would never take it out. Although the taste of the tribe’s grilled meat was not satisfactory, it was already a great effort for the tribe to be able to eat fresh grilled meat on such a difficult journey of fleeing from famine.
Zhou Manman certainly wouldn’t waste it.
While eating, Yi suddenly sighed.
It is almost mandatory for Li, Yi, Anlina and Zhou Manman to eat together every time. They are not like the people around them who complain every day.
Several people looked up at her.
Yi forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."
She said she was fine, but her eyes were full of worry. Zhou Manman looked at her round belly and vaguely knew what she was worried about.
Although she knew it, Zhou Manman couldn't do anything as she couldn't even protect herself.
"It's okay, don't worry, the road will always be straight at the end."
Anlina patted her shoulder.
Yi stroked her belly and said, "I just think they came at the wrong time. They have suffered since they were born, and I don't even know if they can live to adulthood."
"can!"
Zhou Manman was very firm. Although Yi was still worried, she still had a faint smile on her face because of her firm encouragement.
"alert!!"
A loud shout came from somewhere.
Several people haven't reacted yet.
The surroundings began to shake and spin.
"Full!"
Lin stood up, bent down and protected Zhou Manman under his body.
The earthquake was so severe that the huge vibrations could be felt even on flat ground.
Fortunately, it came and went quickly. Zhou Manman stood up with lingering fear and had not yet recovered.
I saw an object rolling in the distance, and everything was dark.
Zhou Manman's heart tightened, and he pointed at that person and whispered, "Lin..."
Several people looked in the direction of her hand, and their expressions suddenly changed.
"Mudslide! Mudslide!!"
"Run!"
The beasts were in chaos, fleeing far away for their lives.
Lin instantly transformed into a beast and said anxiously, "Manman, come up!"
"Bah ah——"
The lamb seemed to sense something and was turning around Lin's feet impatiently.
"You too."
"Hold it steady, Manman."
After Lin finished speaking, he shot out like a sharp sword.
Because they didn't take anything with them and the remaining orcs were still packing up, Lin was almost the one who ran out the fastest.
When Lin ran past some orcs, although they were in a panic, they were still picking up some food and drinks on the ground. Without those things, the females might not survive.
Zhou Manman was in mixed feelings and wanted to say something but before she could say anything Lin surpassed them and left them far behind.
The tribe leader was at the front, shouting, "Go quickly, don't worry about anything, just protect the females."
But even so, there are still things that the orcs are reluctant to take out of the tribe.
The orc next to the chief was a little panicked and advised: "Chief, you go first!"
"Yes, we can't delay any longer! Madam Nerou is still waiting! Chief!"
The chief watched as many orcs started to move and finally left.
Zhou Manman looked back and saw a vast expanse of mud, water and rocks surging towards him. The orcs who fell behind were instantly swept in, and horrific screams filled the air.
Zhou Manman pursed her lips tightly.
They were also very scared, and their first reaction was to run away. However, when they thought about the things that the females had, they could actually buy time to clean up. Were they too noble, or did they not know how terrifying the mudslide was?
The mudslide is getting faster and faster due to its downward acceleration.
Lin's speed slowed down a bit compared to the beginning.
He was breathing heavily, using his nose and mouth. His legs felt as heavy as lead, but he took each step quickly.
Manman was still on his back and he couldn't stop.
He had said a long time ago that he would protect Manman, but it seemed that he had failed to do so many times, so this time, he must not give up.
"Ho...ho..."
An unpleasant hoarse sound came from Lin's throat.
I can't keep running like this!
Zhou Manman raised her head slightly, but soon closed her eyes due to the sharp raindrops coming towards her.
She tried hard to open her eyes. The road ahead was flat, and there was even a slight downward trend. No matter how fast Lin was, he was still an orc!
Flesh and blood will make you tired, but mudslides won’t, especially since this is a gentle slope.
Being close to Lin's back, Zhou Manman's vision was obstructed and she couldn't see what was around her.
She tentatively straightened her body and grabbed Lin's fur tightly.
The strong wind almost blew her away. Lin was shocked and slowed down.
"Don't, don't move..."
While he was slowing down, the two orcs beside the chief were already running forward quickly with the black jar on their backs. In a daze, Zhou Manman seemed to see the people inside.
She looked behind her, tears streaming down her face.
Zhou Manman bent down again, "Lin, you must believe me."
After she finished speaking, she stood up very quickly, used a lot of strength in her hands, and looked around. After a while, she pointed in a direction and said loudly, "Lin! Run over there!"
After listening to what she said, Lin suddenly turned around and ran over there.
A warm breath spread from my back to my whole body, and my strength was restored a little.
When he realized what Manman had done, Lin suddenly felt angry, "Stop!"
It's so dangerous, there are orcs everywhere, does Manman know what he is doing? !
Zhou Manman pressed tightly against Lin's body, and when he felt the wetness on his shoulders and neck, Lin could no longer be fierce.
But, this is really dangerous...
With Zhou Manman's vitality, Lin felt that his body had recovered a lot and his speed was increased again.
Soon, a higher terrain appeared in front.
Lin rushed forward very quickly.
When the orcs behind saw this, they also ran towards this side very quickly.
Lin lay exhausted on the ground, his body heaving violently.
