I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Under the dim light of the headlights, the crocodile in front had crawled to within five meters of the two men. Xiao Yingyong's face kept changing, and he turned his head to look at Qin Zhong: "Qin Zhong, aren't you going to shoot yet?"

Qin Zhong took a deep breath, held her shoulders, and whispered, "Don't be impatient. Wait a moment. Let it get closer. We must ensure it hits us in one go. Otherwise, the crocodile will jump up and both of us will be dead."

Although Xiao Yingyong's shoulders were shaking with nervousness, he still forced himself to suppress the urge to shoot the arrow and stared at the crocodile that was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Qin Zhong held his breath and stared at the crocodile. He waited until the crocodile crawled two meters closer before suddenly letting go of his fingers.

As Qin Zhong released his fingers, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. In an instant, Qin Zhong and Xiao Yingyong pulled the trigger of the crossbow together. With a "swoosh" sound of breaking through the air, a crossbow arrow and a steel ball hit the eyes of the two crocodiles at the same time.

The crocodile that was hit by the crossbow arrow somersaulted into the water, while the crocodile that was hit by the steel ball flipped over with its belly facing the sky.

Seeing that the attack was successful, the two were overjoyed. Without delay, they quickly pulled the bowstrings again, only to see the three giant crab-like monsters quickly surrounding the dead crocodile.

At this moment, Qin Zhong suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen this animal in some issue of Animal World. This crab should be called giant claw crab, also known as giant spider crab, killer crab.

Qin Zhong vaguely remembered that it was introduced in the Animal World. This giant crab has huge forelimbs that other crabs do not have. Its claws can span more than 4 meters when opened. Its large and hard claws are its weapons to attack prey. In addition to attacking humans, sharks are even on its menu.

When Qin Chong was watching the animal world at that time, he had some impression of this creature because of its amazingness. Now, seeing it with his own eyes, he felt even more shocked!

At this moment, there was another sound of splashing water from under the rockery. The two looked over and saw four more crocodiles climbing up. Xiao Yingyong touched his quiver and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no! All the crossbow arrows fell into the water when I fell in."

"Don't be afraid, I still have steel balls here..."

Qin Zhong didn't finish his words when he felt around and found that the bottle of steel balls was missing. He quickly checked the steel balls in the slot and his heart suddenly turned cold. There were only the last two balls left in the slot.

The four crocodiles climbed up, but did not attack Qin Chong and the others immediately. Instead, they pounced on the dead crocodile together, competing for food with the three giant crabs. Their mouths were huge and their teeth were sharp, and their expressions were ferocious and terrifying.

The water surface also fluctuated, and blood continued to roll out. It turned out that there were three sharks in the water, fighting for the corpse of the crocodile that Xiao Yingyong had shot in the eye.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhong and Xiao Yingyong felt a chill in their hearts. Qin Zhong thought that one dead crocodile would definitely not be enough to satisfy these seven bloodthirsty monsters. Once the dead crocodiles were eaten up, they would probably be the next to go, himself and Xiao Yingyong.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong hurriedly looked around, but at a glance, it was all pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly. He had no idea which direction to escape.

Moreover, even if he wanted to escape, there were sharks and crocodiles waiting in the water. For a moment, Qin Zhong felt cold all over, with a desolate feeling of having no way out and being at the end of the road.

……

"Brother Qin...are we going to die?"

Xiao Yingyong looked at the two dead crocodiles that were about to be eaten clean, his upper and lower teeth were chattering. He looked at Qin Zhong with a desperate and desolate tone.

"It's not the final moment yet."

Although Qin Zhong's heart was pounding at this time, he still tried to stay calm. He hung the crossbow in his hand on his body, pulled out the Miao knife hanging diagonally at his waist, took a deep breath, and prepared to fight to the death.

"Look, what is that?"

Xiao Yingyong suddenly pointed to a rectangular wooden board on the water. Qin Zhong looked closely and saw that there were lines on it, like a road map. He couldn't help but have an idea. Seeing that the distance was not far, he quickly ran over and fished it out.

They both looked at the wooden sign, and Xiao Yingyong suddenly said, "Brother Qin, this is the aquarium tour map. Look, this is the entrance, this is the lobby, this is the crocodile hall, this is the piranha hall, this is the giant crab hall..."

"what!"

After carefully comparing the surroundings, Qin Zhong took a deep breath and said, "This is... This is... Oh, we are in the Giant Lizard Pavilion!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yingyong's body trembled, and he subconsciously turned around to look around: "Brother Qin, is the monitor lizard more terrifying than the crocodile?"

Qin nodded heavily. The monitor lizard is a notorious scavenger, even more brutal and greedy than crocodiles, and will not even spare the corpses of its own kind.

What's more, the most terrifying thing is that there is a terrible virus in its oral saliva. Once bitten by a monitor lizard, even if you escape at the time, you will be infected with the virus and die.

Comparing the tour route map with that one, Qin Zhong and his companions looked around and soon understood that the rockery under their feet was the nest of the monitor lizards in the monitor lizard house!

Just as the two were looking around, a rock under Qin Zhong's feet suddenly turned into a shadow and rushed towards him. Qin Zhong immediately realized that something was wrong and jumped up quickly, but he was still a step too late.

It turns out that this rock is a giant lizard. This scary creature has great patience and has been lurking until now before suddenly attacking.

Because it was dark, Qin Zhong and the others' attention was drawn to the crocodile again. Even though the giant lizard was so close, they didn't notice it.

Moreover, the scales on the skin of this monitor lizard are the same color as the rocks, and they blend in seamlessly. If you don't look carefully, you can't see them at all.

The monitor lizard suddenly jumped up and bit Qin Zhong's left leg. With a "click" sound, Qin Zhong felt that his calf bone was almost broken. He endured the severe pain and chopped the monitor lizard with a knife.

The monitor lizard was chopped into pieces by the knife, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. It let out a painful roar from its throat, and its body kept twisting. It rolled down the rockery and was immediately knocked down by several crocodiles and giant crabs and became their food.

Qin Zhong endured the severe pain and quickly lowered his head to check the place where his calf was bitten. Fortunately, the stab-proof clothing worked. Although his calf was in severe pain, fortunately the skin was not broken.

At this moment, Xiao Yingyong was almost frightened by this scene. She stared at Qin Zhong with her eyes fixed, her mouth wide open but unable to speak. Qin Zhong saw great fear in her eyes.

"Hurry up and see if there are other escape routes. We can't stay here any longer!"

Qin Zhong did not dare to delay, and he and Xiao Yingyong quickly looked at the tourist map again. They saw that it was marked that there was a staff passage next to the giant lizard house. The passage turned two right-angled turns, and the words "Fire Escape" were marked at the end.

Seeing that there was hope of escape, both of them were cheered up. Qin Zhong raised his head and looked around, and soon saw a dark shadow in the distance, which looked like the entrance to the employee passage, but it was too far away to be seen clearly.

Qin Zhong thought to himself, "Let's stay here and wait for these guys to finish eating the corpses so they can attack us. No matter if there's a way out over there or not, we should give it a try. Otherwise, we might not have a chance to escape later."

With his mind made up, Qin Zhong turned his head to look at Xiao Yingyong: "Xiaoying, don't be afraid. That might be our way out. If we fight hard, we might survive!"

Although Xiao Yingyong's lips were trembling with fear at this time, he also knew that if he didn't fight now, there would be only a trace of hope. He forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Qin, I, I'm not afraid!"

Qin Zhong stretched his arms and legs and encouraged him, "There's no point being afraid now. Come on, get on my back and I'll carry you across."

Xiao Yingyong shook his head: "Brother Qin, no need, I can swim."

Qin Dian nodded without saying anything else. The two of them packed their things and quietly went into the water from behind the rockery while the crocodiles and giant crabs were still dismembering the body.

Although it is also very unsafe in the water, staying on the rockery means death. I will die anyway, so I can't just sit and wait for death. I might as well take the risk and survive.
