Vol 2 Chapter 17: Prairie otter

There were only three people in the underground fortress, and Yingzi and I were sitting opposite him. The two of us can no longer drool until he has the ability.
All three felt strange and looked up at the same time. What was the liquid that was flowing down? The fire lit by the ammunition box and the broken wooden board illuminated the surroundings, and the distance beyond the fire was still lonely and dark.
On the roof above our head, where fire and darkness meet, a huge human face is detected. That face was more than twice as large as the average person, white as if smeared with flour, no expression at all, no joy or anger was seen, eagle hook nose, a pair of blood-red strange eyes, staring closely at the fat man's hands The roasted bat meat has thick and large lips, protruding forward, with a mouth, and a tongue half hanging on the side of the mouth, and the saliva is almost flowing into the river, flowing down from the top.
The owner of that face has a very long neck and dark and hard skin. Due to the high ceiling of the underground Gnaku, its body is hidden in darkness that is not illuminated by fire, and only its face and a neck can be seen. . It seemed to be very interested in the roasted bat meat we ate, wanted to pounce down and snatch, but was afraid of the flames burning below, and hesitated.
However, it seems that the scent of the barbecue is too tempting for it, and it can't hold back anymore, so you have to jump off the hanging roof at any time.
Is this strange? When the three of us looked up, we were all surprised and surprised. Although I didn't know where the thing came from, I saw that it wanted to eat roasted bat meat.
We brought out five big bats from the stone cave in total. Yingzi and I ate half each, the fat one ate the whole one alone, and there were three left. The fat divided the largest bat king into three parts. One of them was skewered with a rifle and grilled over the fire.
But on this occasion, I still have to think about it. I saw that the fat man was frightened by the expressionless face on his head. He hurriedly grabbed the bayonet with the roasted bat meat in his hand, and lifted it up in the piece. Weiqi turned half a circle and threw it aside.
I made a lot of effort, but I did n’t throw it away. The bat flew off the bayonet and fell not far behind Yingzi. Before Yingzi looked back, a huge beast jumped off the roof. , I took the roast Bat King in my mouth and swallowed it without chewing.
Through the firelight, we can see clearly. It turns out that the animal is not a human. Its face is like a baboon. Its neck is very long. Its body is the size and shape of a bear, but it is not as clumsy as a bear. Its body is slightly flat, the hind limbs are arched, short and thick, and the forelimbs are surprisingly long. When in action, you can grab the gaps in the wall and hang on the top. See its movements. It is better to crawl on the wall on the flat ground. Come freely.
Yingzi has never seen this kind of animal before. Fatty and I have seen its picture in the zoo. As soon as it showed the whole picture, we immediately thought of it. It is a prairie otter, yes, that is it.
Grassland otters live in underground caves deep in the grassland, mainly distributed in the savanna of South America, Africa, and Outer Mongolia. It is also a ground otter. It is different from the jungle otter living in the jungle, and is even more different from its distant relative sloth. The grassland ground otter inherits the characteristics of the ground otter's ancestor Glacier ground otter more. It is extraordinarily large and mainly feeds on meat. It rarely lives in the sun. It likes to prey on big bats, ground rats, pythons, etc. animal.
The grassland ground otters prey on static braking and rarely take the initiative to attack. They are quietly hidden in the dark, motionless, sometimes lurking for several days, not drinking or eating, waiting for animals to pass by Then, suddenly his big mouth flashed out in lightning, and the other party was eaten in one bite.
When the People's Republic of China was founded, a brother African country gave one to the Beijing Zoo, but it didn't adapt to Beijing's living environment and died soon. When I went to Beijing in series with fat people and some classmates, the Beijing Red Guards, who had successfully met with us, took us around and saw huge cages for prairie otters in the zoo. The grassland otter in the cage is dead, and there are only empty cages. We saw a huge empty cage, and it was a little strange. We specially looked at it a few times. There are introductions and pictures on the cage.
After a lapse of many years, we still have a deep impression on this matter, but we never imagined that it was such a big one in the underground fortress of the Kanto Army.
Presumably it is the big bat that traces the pig face to come here, the big bat in this fortress is difficult to count, we only saw a nest in a stone cave, there are no less than a thousand, the fortress is tens of kilometers deep, maybe somewhere , Also hiding a few nests.
It has thick skin and thick flesh, and there are many small bone pieces under the skin, just like wearing armor, and these armors are unbreakable in adulthood.
The vicious pig-faced big bat has sharp claws. Although it can easily tear the belly of cattle and sheep, it can't hurt the prairie otter. Even if it catches a few times, it will not hurt or itch. There are also countless pig-faced big bats that can be hunted and killed.
However, I do n’t know how such a large grassland otter got into the fortress. There may be an earthquake or a mountain collapse, which caused some large cracks in the underground fortress. It was from there to crawl into the fortress for food. If you find the entrance , We should also be able to get out from there.
The prairie otter jumping from the roof ate roasted bat meat, stretched out his long tongue and licked his mouth a few times. Obviously such a piece of meat did not fill its appetite, and it aroused its strong appetite, staring Holding the three of us, I do not know what idea is playing. In the underground world, it is the king.
At this moment of confrontation between the two sides, I turned around a few times, the terrain of the underground fortress and dealing with wild beasts, these things are a bit strange to me, do you want to start with the first? The submachine gun is at hand, but the lethality of the 100-type submachine gun is very limited. The bones of the grassland ground otter are enough to resist it. Do n’t fight the snake and be bitten by the snake. It annoys it, but is not sure to get out.
The Japanese army ’s saka rifle is very penetrating, and should be able to kill the prairie otter, but we only took a few bayonets. The two rifles that were previously loaded with bullets were placed at a distance of 20 to 30 meters away. The attention of the grassland otter, I can run over to get a rifle. It takes a short time for this to come and go. The grassland otter is too close to us ...
Even thinking about a few thoughts, I was not sure. At this time, the fat man stood on the spot and whispered to me: "Lao Hu, I remember this thing only eats warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals, not humans. It seems fine to me." After using your feet to gently kick the dead bat to the prairie otter, that means, it ’s all for you, hurry and eat, do n’t bother us.
Unexpectedly, the grassland otter did not look at the dead bat, but drooled at us.
The fat man turned his head and asked me: "Why doesn't it eat bats, always stares at us, as if it's not good intentions."
I didn't dare to talk to the fat man distractedly, and watched the grassland otter's every move closely. As long as it had an attempt to attack, then I could only grab it in front of it, pick up the submachine gun on the ground, and give it a shuttle.
Yingzi said: "We all eat a lot of roasted bat meat, it is probably ... treat us as bats ..."
Her words have n’t come down, the grassland ground otter ca n’t bear the smell of roasted bat meat, and we are forced to come step by step. All wild animals eat raw meat because they have never eaten cooked meat by nature. After a bite, the taste of cooked meat is the biggest temptation for them.
I found that it was slow to move, and I felt that it was not necessary to fight it, or to run. I greeted the other two, and the three turned around and ran. They just ran two steps, but at this moment, they were tripped by a hard object. This foot fell me, and the knee almost broke, even the fat man Yingzi Also fell to the ground at the same time.
I secretly wondered, what tripped me? While falling to the ground, he glanced at the ground, the ground was flat, and there was something that could trip people, and the thought moved: "Just thinking about running away, the corpses of the boys and girls have forgotten to bring it. foot?"
The grassland otter has probably never seen a human walking animal on two legs. It smells the smell of roasted bat meat from three people. It has treated us as a bat, but it is temporarily unable to accept such a bat. And, afraid of the fire, he did n’t dare to move forward easily. He was thinking about how to swallow the delicious food that came to his mouth. When he saw the three of us fall to the ground, it jumped over.
Its hind limbs were thick and strong, and it jumped in front of the fat man in a leap. Perhaps it felt that the fleshy meat was too much, so it was ready to beat the fat man with his teeth.
Seeing this, the fat man had to struggle desperately. His hands were scratching on the ground, looking for a weapon. There was a bayonet for the roasted bat on the ground. The fat man copied it up and stabbed the arm of the grassland otter straight into the handle.
The knife has been roasting for a long time, just like a red iron rod. After stabbing the grassland ground otter, only a scorched stench smelled in his nose. The prairie otter was invincible in the underground cave, who had eaten such a loss, and it hurts and was angry, but he dared not bite the fat man again, and slowly backed away a few steps, waiting for the opportunity to move again.
After the hot bayonet stabbed the knife, the temperature immediately dropped. The blood of the grassland otter blew white gas above the blade. The fat man just succeeded in striking it all because of the temperature of the bayonet, otherwise he would not be able to move it.
I used the fat guy to repel the grassland ground otter, and Yingzi one by one, wrapped the military coat with tong men and women on my back, I hope these two little devil will not make trouble.
On the back, the body of the child was buried, and I bent down to hold the submachine gun in my hand. I knew that the lethality of this 100-type submachine gun was far from enough to kill the grassland otter, but it was also expected to use it to resist one or two at a critical moment.
Before I pulled the bolt off, on the wall behind me, a claw suddenly came out and shot straight over the top of my head. The claw came too fast, and the momentum was fast. I had no time to bow my head, so I had to block it with a submachine gun in my hand. Swept by that paw, unable to hold it, the submachine gun flew out of his hand, and fell far into the darkness that the firelight could not reach.
Unconsciously, four grassland ground otters crawled down the wall, two big and two small, and the youngest was about the same size as an adult. Obviously, they were also the same as the previous ones, and they were all smelled of roasted bat meat. Attracted, came to prey.
Five grassland earth otters surrounded us, and as soon as one of them took the lead, the rest would follow and hug us to pieces.
The only support we had was the fire. The three of them stuck together back to back. The fat man took a bayonet and Yingzi was holding a submachine gun. Only I was empty-handed.
The fire lit by the wood chips is getting darker and darker, and it will go out in a moment. We really have to wait until then, we are the lunch of the grassland otter. I thought that I ca n’t help but secretly cry: "One is enough for his mother. It ’s not easy to deal with, but it ’s good now. The grassland otter in this fortress, the whole family has been sent out, and it is in desperation. How can we kill a road? "
It's no way to consume it any longer. I grabbed a burning wood strip from the fire and waved it to the smallest one among the grassland otters who blocked the way. It was really scared, and was scared by the torch. A gap appeared in the encirclement.
The flame of the wooden stick was not big. We darted to stay out as soon as we waved it, and we rushed out together. A few slobbering grassland otters hesitated and threw them together.
A string of bullets was shot by the submachine gun in Yingzi's hand. The prairie otter was hit by the bullet, and blood spattered on his body, but they were all thick-skinned calluses. Although the bullet hit the body, he could not shoot into the body. His bone armor, on the contrary, annoyed them, pressing harder and tighter, only to eat these three people in his mouth before giving up.
Of the three of us, only Yingzi had a submachine gun. Whenever she changed the magazine, the fat man and I waved firewood to stop the prairie otter from letting them get close. Fighting and retreating, because the direction of the breakthrough is relatively blind, it is farther and farther away from the place where the weapon is placed. Instead, it retreated to the big iron gate of Gnaku.
Outside the iron gate is the red 犼, we wanted to eat and drink, and then carefully plan some ways to go out from the passage outside the iron gate, but the sudden attack of the grassland ground otter, gave us a surprise, retreat in a hurry At this point, the flames of the wooden strips became weaker and weaker, and in the end only the black wooden strips were burned, with only a few sparks on their heads, and not many bullets.
The grassland otters are huge, and several huddled together, like the same insurmountable wall, patted by their paws, the lightest is the broken bones and tendons. The enclosure of the grassland otter gradually narrowed, and we were all suppressed in front of the iron gate, with no room for advancement and retreat.
Things have to be cut out now, the fat man and I threw the Martian strips at the grassland otter, Yingzi fired with a 100-type submachine gun, and used the final fighting power to push these grassland otters back a few steps. Then, the fat man turned and pushed the iron gate behind him, and I pulled out the black donkey hoof and smashed it outward.
Unexpectedly, that Hong Jian was not in front of the door. We had no time to think about it. We retreated into the passage behind the iron gate one after another. The fat man just wanted to close the big iron gate. A huge force slammed into the iron gate. It ’s not the same thing, the three of them try their best to push the iron gate, but they ca n’t do anything.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew his face, and I hurriedly dodge, it turned out that the red dog has been wandering around. Hong Jian does not have a high IQ, but just blindly sees the living creatures and bites.
Hong Jian came as soon as he said it, and it was silent like a blast of lightning. If it weren't for me after a hundred battles, I had a lot of experience of encountering enemies. I fell to the ground, just about to get up to dodge, the iron gate was knocked open, and the largest prairie otter jumped out first.
The prairie otter used his sturdy hind limbs to jump out of the door like a big frog, just knocked down the red dog, the red dog fell on the ground, the body could not bend, and then bounced up, ten steel knives The same finger stuck in the prairie otter's chest.
The grassland otter screamed and bite with his mouth open. Several other large and small grassland otters also rushed out of the Gnaku. When they saw that their companions were injured, they bite the red dog.
One of the smallest prairie earth otters was ripped off by Hong Qian, and his body was bitten by two prairie earth otters. The two sides were equally powerful. For a time, they were entangled together. In an instant, the walls and the ground On the iron gate, all the blood of the grassland ground otter was splashed, and the minced meat flew across, and at the same time, one of Hongqi's arms was bitten off.
When we saw this thrilling scene in front of us, we were all secretly shocked. If the red dog fought back and forth with the grassland otter, then the three of us would inevitably die without a burial place. It was a fluke that we accidentally hit the two tigers by accident.
Opportunity, we carried the bodies of the boys and girls and fled towards the hole in the tomb wall of the back chamber of the ancient tomb. , These embarrassing situations need not be detailed.
The big hole where the tomb wall collapsed is still the same as when we escaped earlier. We escaped from here earlier, and then escaped again. We took a big circle and did not get anything valuable. Trouble, these two corpses filled with mercury were added, which made people cry and laugh. However, although the underground fortress is not valuable, there are a lot of clothing and equipment, and some simple generators may be found in a certain place. You can tell this to the people in Tunzi, and we will be born and die in the underground fortress. Tossing this much time.
As long as you can climb out of the shaft outside the stolen cave, everyone's mental and physical strength has reached the limit at this time, but when people are desperately desperate, dogs jump over the wall and face desperation, they often stimulate human potential. Yingzi fired a submachine gun at the coffin that sealed the burrow. Two full shuttles hit the sawdust. The lid of the coffin was originally embedded in the wall. The bullet smashed the middle of the bullet. The fat man ran up and took the coffin with one shoulder. The board crashed into two sections, and the burrows were exposed again. I first pushed Yingzi into the shaft, and then I put the corpses of the boys and girls on the back with the fat man. Yingzi caught it and reached out and pulled me up.
Finally, the fat man remained, because we both needed to pull him on the shaft before he could climb up. The fat man was about to climb up. The two prairie otters had rushed into the tomb. They became very crazy and roared like thunder. Maybe the rest of their family members were killed by Hong Qian, even though Hong Feng was so powerful, Most of them could not resist the group fights of the grassland ground otters and were bitten into pieces.
The remaining two prairie otters, all of whom were wounded, red eyes and chased hard, followed us all the way into the tomb, and the fat man looked back and hurriedly climbed up the shaft, the more anxious the more he could not climb up. The prairie otter has already rushed to the burrow hole. Fortunately, the burrow hole is too narrow for them to drill. They use their large claws to dig through the soil constantly, and want to expand the burrow hole, so that they can crawl out from inside. I saw that the situation was urgent and picked up the submachine gun of Yingzi and threw it to the fat man. The fat man realized that he first fired a few shots of the prairie otter who was forced to squeeze at the entrance of the burrow hole. The glazed tiles on the top ruptured, and a bag of western fire dragon oil splashed down. The entire tomb, including two grassland otters, was engulfed by the fire ignited by the fire dragon oil.
At the same time, Yingzi and I used our last power to pull the fat man out of the shaft. That ’s it. The fat man ’s pants were also burned by the flames from the burrow. He kept patting the flame on the buttocks, hurting Screaming like a pig, Yingzi quickly took the kettle to extinguish the fire on his buttocks, and his trousers had been burned to the point of being exposed.
The hounds squatted faithfully beside them, looking at the three masters who climbed up from the cave. It was noon, the sun was shining and the flowers were blooming. I rubbed my eyes. Compared with the dark underground fortress, it was really like another world.
The fat man covered his buttocks with one hand and raised up the two jade pieces from the tomb to look at his eyes with one hand. He could n’t help but poems and recited a few words from the world war long poem: The war has gone out, and the smoke disperse.
The sun has never been so warm now;
The sky has never been so blue;
The smile on the children's faces has never been so sweet.
Neither I nor Yingzi couldn't help laughing. Have you ever seen a poet covering his and recite? But something unexpected happened and our smile quickly froze ...
