Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Chapter 111 One Person's Planet (6)

The liquid slid down the throat, triggering a violent cough.Yu Di was woken up by choking, and the red liquid she coughed up startled her.If it hadn't been for seeing the same red liquid on the leaves thrown aside by the bird man, Yu Di would almost have thought he was vomiting blood.

But... the taste of this liquid is not blood.

"You...you..." Birdman saw that he was just feeding Yudi something to replenish water, she reacted so strongly, and looked at her nervously.

"I'm fine." Yu Di took a few deep breaths and calmed down.This thing that looks and smells like blood actually tastes sweet.

"What is this?" Yu Di pointed to the remaining liquid on the ground, made a gesture of drinking, and watched the birdman blink, expressing curiosity.

Birdman flapped his wings: "Tree."

Tree?This is tree sap?There is such a strange thing.Birdman thinks it's drinkable, maybe she should look for it.

But you must never go the same way as before.

Yu Di picked up the leaf, stood up, and walked in the direction where it was released, leaning on the stick.

She had to take the coffin and its contents before she could decide whether to go find the strange tree or continue looking for the river.

After tossing for so long, the hottest time has passed.Yu Di's occasional dizziness due to lack of water slowed down their pace.

Birdman would disappear for a while from time to time, bringing back some wilted little fruits.This bit of sugar and water is better than nothing, and Yu Di is quite relieved that all kinds of behaviors show that the bird man really regards himself as a companion.

"flute."

This encouragement did not last long.Birdman seemed to have noticed something, called Yudi to stop, stood still with his back to her, and looked around vigilantly with his vertical pupils.

Yu Di was afraid that the beasts staring at her would follow her, so she also clenched her stick and listened carefully.

Just when she discerned a trace of unusual movement, the bird man rushed out towards the back of Yu Di like an arrow off the string.

Yu Di didn't follow up immediately, but observed the blind spot of the birdman's vision to avoid something from sneaking in.

After confirming safety, Yu Di followed.The sound of chirping and struggling behind the bushes stopped, and Birdman's body was covered with fallen leaves, and the yellowish down on his chest was stained with blood, and a piece of it was sunken, as if it had been torn off.

And what he was holding in his hand was the pig-headed fox's companion - the long-nosed black-striped weasel.

It also has sharp and jagged teeth, and the long-nosed black-striped weasel has more than one circle.Yu Di can even see the hair on the bird man's body between its teeth.

"flute."

The bird man grinned, and showed Yu Di the corpse of the beast over and over as if asking for credit, as if to say, "Look, how neatly I broke its neck!"

The dinner was inexplicably settled, and Yu Di smiled and nodded: "That's great."

Although it is not a wise choice to move in the jungle with blood-stained prey, time waits for no one. They must take as much time as possible now to find a place to camp tonight.

Yudi finally asked the birdman to take him to the place where the tree with that sap was first.There wasn't really a stream around, and she had to drink something--except blood.

Yu Di pointed to the lighter, signaling to wait for the fire to start and cook it before eating.

With Birdman as a strong companion, the wild beasts have to weigh carefully if they want to prey on Yudi.

At Yudi's insistence, Birdman led her around a bit, and came to a very...uh, kind-looking tree.

This tree is so thick that even a bird man with long arms and legs needs two to hug him.

A huge smiling face formed from the tree trunk, and there was a sudden dark red lump on the cheek, which should be the place where the bird man got the juice before.

The creatures on this planet are weird, Yu Di was not sure if it was a complete plant, so he reached out and tapped on the tree trunk.

The branches and leaves of the big tree trembled a few times. Yu Di put her palm on it and closed her eyes. Sure enough, she felt a slight tremor.

The bird man on the side fluttered his wings and bit a hole in the neck of the prey. The thick blood gushed out like a stream and fell on the exposed tree roots on the ground. After a while, it disappeared without a trace.

And the dark red lumps on the "cheeks" suddenly fell off, and began to overflow with blood-like juice. The bird man quickly caught some with his hands, signaling Yu Di to drink quickly.

Yu Di ignored the discomfort in her heart, imitating the bird man, leaning against the edge of the tree trunk, and catching some with her hands-she must drink water now.

Sure enough, sweet.

The cracks in the bark condensed again, and the birdman licked his palm, urging Yudi to light a fire.

He is hungry.

Yu Di set up the coffin near a few broken trees, built a simple shelter with parachute cloth, took out the last bit of wood shavings, and lit it in the palm of his hand.

Birdman picked up a lot of dry firewood consciously, and learned how Yudi made a fire with his eyes.

Yudi processed the long-nosed black-striped ferret with sharp metal fragments, divided it into two pieces, one large and one small, and then threaded them with branches and put them on the fire.

Ten minutes later, the aroma of meat was already overflowing.Birdman imitated Yudi's posture and sat cross-legged, with the ends of his wings drooping on the ground, and what was reflected in his vertical eyes was all sizzling meat.

Yu Di was also desperately swallowing her saliva until it was completely cooked before handing the big piece to Birdman.

The bird man gnawed on it directly, and was so hot that he was so happy to hear it.Yu Di smiled and ate her share, suddenly felt that the world seemed to be pretty good.

When they were full, they threw the remaining bones and offal far away, picked some leaves and wiped their hands.

Unlike the horse-faced rabbit, the birdman is afraid of heat but not cold.He stuffed two thick firewood into the firewood pile, and lay down next to Yu Di to help her resist the cool night wind.

With the help of the fire, Yu Di used the only remaining battery board to make another lighter.

She couldn't be here forever, and Birdman couldn't leave.Apart from this, she couldn't think of any better gift for the other party.

Birdman doesn't wear clothes. In order to make it easier for him to carry, Yudi also took pains to cut a section of parachute rope to tie the lighter firmly.

Seeing that he was already asleep, Yu Di lightly put the rope around Birdman's neck.

The fire was burning steadily, and the starry sky was still densely packed.Yu Di rested her arms on her head and looked at the space station above her head for a while, before she fell asleep unconsciously.

When Birdman woke up, he found something on his neck.After figuring out what it was, he flapped his wings happily, and accidentally woke up Yudi.

Yu Di covered her scratched face, squinted her eyes and sat up.

"Is something wrong?"

I saw that the smile on Birdman's face was about to bloom.

She rubbed her forehead.

This silly bird.

The fire was almost extinguished, and the surrounding light was enough to identify the route. Yu Di got up to pack his things and planned to continue to the river.

The dew in this area was heavier than when she first arrived, and if there was no water, it was going to rain.

Either way, it's good news for Yu Di.

After sufficient food and rest, Yu Di felt full of strength all over her body, and it was much easier to carry the coffin.

She subconsciously looked in the direction of the smiling face tree, and there was an empty place—the smiling face tree was gone!There is only a piece of messy soil on the ground.

Birdman seems to be used to this.After two days of communication, he already knew that Yu Di was looking for the stream.Before Yu Di could figure out what was going on on the smiling face tree, he picked up the coffin and headed towards the rising sun.

Yu Di hurriedly followed.
