They first experienced the feeling of dirty clothes being put into a turbo-charged washing machine. In the most difficult moment, they were even swept into the dark deep sea by the current and almost reached the seabed trench.
The next moment, they were swept out of the sea again, spinning... rising... until they entered the dark clouds, and they could even hear thunder exploding in their ears.
And then……
She felt her body become light.
She seemed to be held in someone's arms, breaking through the clouds, carried by the air currents, and reaching a height that even seabirds could not reach, where she floated and spun... Sometimes she could even feel the warm light on her face, which was very comfortable.
This feels like something is wrong.
When she realized this, she could finally feel the existence of her body.
But it's just a feeling.
She seemed to be... lying on a hard stone slab, her whole body was numb and swollen, and she couldn't even speak.
"Is she awake?"
"woke up."
It seemed as if I could vaguely hear someone talking in a low voice in front of me.
"How is the injury?"
"Poor blood flow, edema, high fever...it's more of an illness than an injury."
"So amazing!"
"But the other one was unlucky..."
another!
Hitzfeld glared slightly.
She remembered the warm embrace she felt in the hallucination and tried to force herself to sit up a little.
"Be careful—"
But she misjudged her own condition.
One of them rolled over but couldn't hold on, and fell off the stone slab with a scream.
Chapter 20 Survival
I am——
When Xia Yibing opened her eyes from the dim darkness, she found that her body was almost embedded in a rock wall.
The right half of the body was inserted into the crevice at a 45-degree angle, and was stuck in the middle thanks to the lubrication provided by the moss. Most of the body, including both legs, was exposed.
The physical condition is very bad.
There was no need to shake her head. Just by seeing double in everything she looked at, Xia Yibing could be sure that there must be something seriously wrong with her body.
The brain is swollen, maybe it's a fever.
There is absolutely no feeling in my right shoulder and arm, most likely due to poor blood circulation caused by being pressed in the crevice for a long time.
Of course...it is also possible that the body over there has been completely shattered, all the bones are broken and all the tissues are necrotic. She hopes that it is not the latter case.
You can hear the sound of the sea tide and the calls of some seabirds.
Through the sea breeze and air currents felt by her body outside, Xia Yibing could roughly guess her current situation.
The location where she was embedded was most likely a sea cliff.
Behind her was the sea, and under her feet there might be dozens or even hundreds of meters between them... This meant that she absolutely could not act rashly now. Even if she lost a little balance while moving her body, she might slide down and be smashed to pieces on the rocky beach.
But...but she really has no strength now...
After waking up, what made Xia Yibing feel most uncomfortable was not the swollen head and blurred vision, but the hunger in her stomach.
She didn't know how she got here.
It can be roughly guessed that she was blown here by a waterspout - after all, Hitzfeld also said that in areas where waterspouts frequently occur, it often rains marine life on the nearby beaches. From this, it can be inferred that she... and perhaps others, were all swept up and thrown away by the storm, and then one by one, no one knew where they were thrown.
What about Hitzfeld?
Intense worries and hatred surged up uncontrollably.
I am lucky. I am stuck here. No matter how I get out later, at least I am still alive and well...
But Hitzfeld... her body is much more fragile than mine... If she were swept away by the storm and hit a rock wall, or even on the beach or in the jungle, would she -
goo goo-
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to be able to hear the roars of hunger coming from her body.
At this level... I don't know how many days I've been stuck here.
A strong feeling of fatigue came over her, and Xia Yibing kept biting the tip of her tongue to stimulate and warn herself not to close her eyes.
Before she actually saw the bodies of other people, before she was really in a desperate situation where she was sure to die, she didn't want to give up and still considered struggling.
But this strength issue...
Plop--
There was a sound of flapping wings outside.
At the same time, she felt something land on her waist and pecked her arm unceremoniously.
It hurts a bit.
But she remained motionless until the thing got closer and closer to her left hand, then she quickly raised her hand, trying to catch the prey blindly.
The result was, of course, failure.
With a flap of wings and a squawking cry, the seabird flew away again.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Because she didn't dare to do any strenuous activity, for fear that she would fall if she moved too much.
But this does not mean that she is in despair.
Xia Yibing turned her head and stared into the depths of the crevice. In the darkness, she could vaguely see a few white, round objects.
She calmed down, raised her right side slightly, and waited.
Half an hour passed, then an hour passed.
From having no feeling at all to having severe numbness and itching, Xia Yibing breathed a sigh of relief - finally her right hand could still be used.
She held onto the rock wall with her right hand. Using this as a support point, she bent her right leg, which was suspended in the air, against the rock wall and stepped up and down with her foot.
Finally she found a groove.
Carefully placing the edge of the boot in the groove and holding the rock wall tightly with his right hand, Xia Yibing raised his left hand little by little with great effort, thrust it deep into the crevice, and took out a bird's egg.
The fingers scratched it and the moist liquid poured into the mouth.
After eating a bird egg, her condition improved rapidly.
The vision is clear.
I feel stronger.
Even my thoughts have become more flexible.
that's it.
She took a break every now and then and slowly sucked all four eggs out of the bird's nest.
One of them was meaty and gave her a lot of strength.
But not enough.
According to her speculation, this energy could only help her maintain the current situation. It was a foolish dream to escape from danger - or even climb up the rock wall.
She needed more energy.
She looked into the crevice again and saw a furry, somewhat ugly baby bird trembling and struggling inside.
too small.
It's not enough to fill her teeth.
She didn't move it, but waited.
Continue to wait patiently.
The wind grew colder.
The temperature is dropping, probably because night is approaching.
Xia Yibing was still hanging there like a corpse, motionless.
Plop--
The sound of flapping wings returned.
This time, the seabirds were more cautious than before.
It first landed on the woman's back and pecked her on her left forearm several times.
Bloody.
There were even a few strips of meat torn off in the middle.
The woman remained motionless.
Perhaps the woman's behavior reassured it, or perhaps the chick's screams made it lose its patience. It jumped along the back of the body into the crevice of the rock, intending to pick up the chick and find another nest.
But the next moment, a hand grabbed its neck tightly.
“Ga-ga-ga-ga!”
Feathers fluttered, Xia Yibing pinched the big bird and bit into its soft chest and abdomen.
The teeth broke through the barrier of feathers, pierced the skin and flesh, and a stream of warm liquid flowed into the mouth.
goooo...
goooo...
The throat moves.
She gulped it down like a thirsty nightmare.
blood.
Flesh.
It eats everything it can, including the chicks, for dinner.
almost.
After eating and drinking, and waiting for the food to be digested and transformed, Xia Yibing's eyes lit up with a cold light again.
With strength, many things will be easier to do.
She didn't plan to stay here overnight because this was undoubtedly still in the north, and the temperature at the seaside would be very, very low at night. She couldn't continue to destroy her body.
Although she replenished her strength by eating, she was not sure she could maintain her condition until tomorrow. The only way out now was to give it a try and find a way to climb down the cliff.
Clawing at the cracks in the rocks and stepping on the depressions, the woman straightened her body slightly and glanced sideways downwards.
All you can see is mist.
From the water mist to her current position, the height of this cliff is at least 100 meters.
She immediately gave up the idea of "going down".
The rock wall is too smooth and steep. The sea water is constantly washing over it, making many places extremely smooth. The tolerance rate for such a long road is too low, and you will be doomed if you are not careful.
She rested for a while, then pulled her body out and looked up.
My eyes lit up and I saw a cluster of grass-like plants.
It was less than 1 meter away from her, which meant that the location was most likely high ground.
Lifting his left leg and touching it twice, Xia Yibing pulled out a short dagger from his boot.
Life or death depends on this.
