That night, Lin Shuo didn't sleep.

Unlike the mercenaries who were in charge of the night watch, he was clad in roe deer skins, away from the campfire, and sat in the shadows in the corner of the camp.

The starling bird did not go to the forest that night, but honestly stood on Lin Shuo's shoulder.

On the stone beside this man and a bird, leaning on a huge recurve bow.

This scene was seen by Anne, who opened her eyes in the morning, and felt as if she had seen a group of statues.

But she didn't say anything, but got up quickly, went to the river to fetch a jar of water, and together with a towel, handed it to Lin Shuo:

"Mr. Lin, you have worked hard, freshen up. ”

Lin Shuo nodded, took the thing and turned around and entered the forest.

"Brother Shuo, did you find it? The voice of the starling bird came from the forest, "This mother-in-law has a tacit understanding with you." ”

“......”

"Brother Shuo, the three generations of the Lin family have been passed down, and now you are the only one left. Speaking of which, Brother Shuo, you are not too young. ”

“......”

"Brother Shuo, the birds in this city, I think it's very easy to hook up, you have it at a glance. ”

"Hachi, don't you want the bird below you?"

"Brother Shuo, I was wrong. ”

......

Today is another sunny day, and as the sun comes out, the ground temperature is gradually rising.

Everyone set off early and headed for the chain bridge.

Lin Shuo did not choose to continue to open the way, but let Wei Xingshan take three mercenaries in front.

He himself and Xiao Ba followed behind the large army, keeping a distance of more than 100 meters.

Regarding Lin Shuo's arrangement, everyone did not dare to have any objections, and no one asked the reason.

Walking out for about three kilometers, approaching the chain bridge, Lin Shuo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his steps slowly followed.

The unknown strange creature, who had been watching the group from a distance for a night, seemed to be observing something, and now finally left.

Joining the large army, everyone was already thinking about how to cross the bridge.

The river here is the narrowest body of water in the vicinity, but it is also more than 50 meters wide.

The chain bridge that spans both banks looks okay from a distance. When I walked to the front and took a look, I found that it had long been rusted, and the wooden planks on the bridge deck were crispy, and there were holes in one foot.

The bridge is about ten meters away from the water, and the river below is not only turbulent, but also hides reefs, and the large and small whirlpools on the river surface are like an open mouth, looking at seeping people.

If it really falls, the fish will be fine, but the person will definitely not survive.

Lin Shuo walked to the edge of the bridge and found that Wei Xingshan was shaking the iron cables on the bridge.

This man's strength was so great that he shook the entire bridge with one hand twice.

The bridges, which had long been corroded, fell down with a clamour as the chain bridge swayed from side to side.

When Wei Xingshan saw this scene, he simply held the big iron chain with both hands and shook it vigorously.

In a few moments, the bridges were all shaken, and only the four iron cables were bare. The two lower ones are side by side, originally covered with bridge slabs, and two more on the left and right, which were originally the handrails of this chain bridge.

"Alright. Wei Xingshan clapped his hands, "These chains are quite strong, but these bridges are rotten, which is a bad thing." ”

After saying this, Wei Xingshan looked back at He Zihong and said, "Professor He, I'll take a few people to touch the iron rope first." Don't worry. Wait for us to find out the situation on the other side, and then make a zipline on both sides. You and Dr. Anne, use our zipline to get there, it's safer. ”

"Yes, Professor Ho. Vice Captain Liu Qing also smiled, "This kind of zipline is equivalent to letting you sit on three safety ropes and slide through with steel buckles." You can rest assured, our technology is very mature, don't look at it is suspended, in fact, it is safe and comfortable. ”

"Then there's Captain Lowe and Captain Liu. Professor He nodded with a smile.

Since the team entered the forest, the performance of Wei Xingshan and Liu Qing has gradually been recognized by two scholars, He Zihong and Yang Tuo.

Especially Wei Xingshan, the vulgar-looking mercenary leader, is actually very careful, and everything is for the safety of the team.

After explaining this, Wei Xingshan put on a tool bag for ziplining on his back and was about to set off, but found Lin Shuo standing between himself and the chain bridge.

During the day yesterday, the two fingers that Lin Shuo stopped in front of Wei Xingshan left an indelible impression on this mercenary leader.

At this moment, in Wei Xingshan's mind, Lin Shuo has changed from a god who pretends to be a ghost to an unfathomable strange person, and he still owes him a life.

So the giant man had a good attitude and asked, "Mr. Lin, is there anything wrong with you?"

I saw Lin Shuo bend down slightly, his nose was close to the iron cable, sniffed carefully, and then slowly raised his head: "That's not right." ”

"What's wrong?"

"It smells fishy. Lin Shuo said these three words, and then ordered, "Captain Wei, you take these brothers of yours to cut some trees in the nearby forest, the bigger the better." Others stayed away from the river and rested in place. ”

Wei Xingshan glanced at Lin Shuo with a puzzled expression, but he didn't question Lin Shuo, but looked at Anne.

Anne didn't even look at him: "Look at what I do?" ”

Wei Xingshan had no choice but to turn around and order the mercenaries to do the same. The group of soldiers was obedient, put down their bags one after another, and walked into the forest with axes and machetes.

Among them, Wang Yong was the last to go, and said with a smile before entering the forest:

"Team Wei, I didn't eat well last night, and my nutrition is not enough. Since it was Mr. Lin's order, we would definitely do such a heavy job as cutting down trees. But can you open meat at night?"

"Fuck off!" Wei Xingshan cursed, slammed a foot on Wang Yong's buttocks, and kicked him into the forest. He himself took a hand-axe and followed.

There is still some time before noon, and according to the current route, there are five kilometers more than five kilometers after crossing the river, and it is the destination of this trip.

So everyone was not in a hurry, the mercenaries went to the forest to cut down trees, and the others left the river for some distance and sat down to rest.

"Mr. Lin, why did you ask everyone to cut down trees?" Liu Qing leaned over at this time and asked Lin Shuo.

"Just in case. Lin Shuo looked at the river and said lightly.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Liu Qing explained with a smile after asking this sentence, "You see, this kind of wilderness survival experience is also very important for our industry. If you don't hesitate to teach, it will save our lives. ”

Lin Shuo raised his eyes and glanced at the woman.

With short hair and wheat-colored skin, she is far less bright and moving than Anne, but this woman has delicate facial features, looks very pleasing to the eye, and speaks well.

"There's something in the water. Lin Shuo lowered his head and said slowly.

When the few people present heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at each other a few times.

"What is it?" Yang Tuo asked.

"I don't know yet. Lin Shuo shook his head, "But there's nothing wrong with being careful." ”

......

After resting for more than two hours, there was a sound in the woods, and the mercenaries had returned from logging.

This group of men was not lazy, Lin Shuo said that the bigger the better, they worked in a team of two, carrying seven red-barked spruce. The branches of the tree have been cleaned by this group of men, and only the trunk remains, all of which are more than 30 centimeters in diameter.

Wei Xingshan took the lead, this man's whole body was already soaked with sweat, he carried the largest red-barked spruce by himself, and walked to Lin Shuo's body:

"Mr. Lin, how is it, it's big enough, right?"

"It's ok. Lin Shuo looked up.

"And then?" Wei Xingshan asked with a gasp.

Liu Qing saw the clue and asked softly, "Mr. Lin, is this going to pave the bridge deck?"

"Hmm. Lin Shuo nodded.

"What a waste of time. Liu Qing was puzzled.

Lin Shuo frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but heard Anne say, "Mr. Lin should be thinking about crossing the bridge, so that we have room under our feet, right?"

Lin Shuo glanced at Anne, his expression was slightly surprised, and then nodded: "That's right, otherwise people will just go over like this, whether they are walking slowly by touching the iron rope, or hanging on the sling and sliding over, there is no chance to dodge, that is a live target." I will not be able to take care of you when I am not stable on my feet. ”

"Is it really that dangerous?" asked Liu Qing.

Lin Shuo slowly looked around at everyone and said:

"There are villages five kilometers away, and it stands to reason that this is a traffic artery, and this bridge should not be so deserted. But the bridge deck is rotten like this, no one repairs it and no one cares about it, don't you think it's abnormal?"

"Makes sense. Wei Xingshan seemed to understand, "It's not because the bridge is ruined, so no one goes." But because no one dared to walk, the bridge was abandoned. ”

Lin Shuo glanced at Wei Xingshan: "Why is your brain suddenly clear?"

"Hey. Wei Xingshan laughed dryly and didn't answer.

"I agree with Mr. Lin's approach. The old man He Zihong said at this time, "No matter what, building bridges and paving roads is immeasurable." Besides, we will not only take this bridge once, but also return. Let's do it together. Xiao Yang, you help Mr. Lin map the width of the bridge deck. ”

"Yes, teacher. Yang Tuo replied and took out a tape measure from his bag.

"Beware!"

Just as Yang Tuo was approaching the chain bridge, Lin Shuo's expression suddenly tightened, and he dragged Yang Tuo back.
