"Huh?" Qin Wuchao stretched out his hand, raised his head and looked at the top of his head, "There is water." ”

Li Qing listened attentively, and nodded after a while: "It's raining." ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves gradually intensified, and the bean-sized rain rolled down from the branches and leaves overhead, and then fell to the ground.

Li Qing and Qin Wuchao hurriedly took out the tarpaulin and were about to drape it on their bodies, Li Qing turned his head suddenly, but saw Gu Yue raise his pretty face, let the rain hit his delicate cheeks, his eyes were staring at the top of his head without blinking, and his face was a little strange.

"What are you still doing in a daze, you're going to catch a cold if you get wet. Li Qing covered the tarp in his hand on Gu Yue's head.

"Can't go any further. Gu Yue suddenly spoke slowly.

Li Qing couldn't help but be stunned, and his face was full of puzzlement: "Why?"

"This rain can kill us. ”

Qin Wuchao glared: "Don't be joking, it's not as evil as you say." ”

Gu Yue pursed her lips and crouched down against a tree trunk: "I suggest going back the way you came, going back to Longxi, or taking a detour." ”

Because of the last incident, Qin Wuchao was already quite dissatisfied with Gu Yue, but now when he saw that she was about to retreat again, he became annoyed: "If you don't want to leave, just say it, make these inexplicable words to scare people, you and I grew up drinking boiled water?"

"Shut up. Li Qing glared at Qin Wuchao and glanced back, "I'll talk about it when they catch up." ”

After a while, Zhong Ruoxi and a few people followed. Shi Yinghui shook the tarp draped on his body, and said with a smile: "This is the kind of weather here, this is the rainy season, just such a rain, it can't stop for ten days and half a month, we have a hard time." ”

Zhong Ruoxi was delicate, and was the first to notice that something was wrong, and asked lightly, "What's wrong?"

Qin Wuchao pointed at Gu Yue and muttered with a bit of resentment: "She said that we can't go any further, otherwise we will be killed." It is advisable to return to Longxi immediately now, or take a detour from another road. ”

Ji Wenbin smiled: "You women are just troublesome, isn't this just a rain, what danger can there be?

Deng Shi's face changed, staring at Gu Yue and asking, "Are you worried... Swamps?"

Before Gu Yue could answer, Ji Wenbin shook his head nonchalantly: "Hey, what's there to worry about? There are so many of us, if anyone falls in, it won't be over if they are dragged up." Chop a few branches and carry them in your hands, line up in front and back, and help each other if you accidentally land on the road. We used to do this kind of thing in the old woods, and I have experience in this area. ”

"It's not quite the same in the swamps here. Shi Yinghui also seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a gloomy face, "There is something down there, as long as you fall into it, you have to amputate it at the lightest." ”

"Damn!" Ji Wenbin was startled, his cheeks were a little white, "There's something?

"It's a bug. Deng Shi continued, "We heard before we came to Longxi that there is a black beetle in the swamp here, which can burrow into the flesh of people, and even if it is a bone, it can gnaw a hole. Our side is the shady side of the mountain, and this rain is so heavy that it won't be long before many of the swamps that have been dried up will form again. ”

Feng Yucheng nodded: "If you catch up with the fog again, it will be even more troublesome." ”

The decomposed gases in the swamp contain strong toxicity, and once volatilized, they can cause fatal damage to people and animals, and are called "lower fog" in folk sayings.

When Ji Wenbin heard a few people say this, his courage completely disappeared, and he instantly became a little worried: "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't we turn back the same way and find another way." ”

Shi Yinghui looked anxious: "But time is running out! Okay, even if we don't pick up the second batch of supplies, even if we return it now, there will be the station of the 32nd Mixed Division behind, where can we go? Although there is danger here, my opinion is to continue to move forward." ”

Gu Yue sneered, raised her eyelids and looked Shi Yinghui up and down, the corners of her mouth flashed with a hint of mockery: "Do you think it's just a swamp?"

Shi Yinghui was stunned: "Then what do you mean?"

The jade hand was raised slightly, and Gu Yue pointed forward: "I have walked on this road, and you have no idea how bad the environment on this road is." If it's in the dry season, it's not a problem to get through here, but if it's in the rainy season..."

"If the rain goes up, the river goes up, it's going to flood it very quickly, and you're going to see some very interesting things. ”

Li Qing raised his head and stared at Gu Yue: "What do you mean?"

"Crocodile. Gu Yue replied lightly.

Hearing this, Yang Xun's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but think of some of his past experiences. At that time, he defected to the Blood Skull, ran for his life, and was almost torn apart by a group of crocodiles when he crossed the river.

After being silent for a while, Li Qing nodded: "Now that the situation is basically clear, we have to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to return the same way or continue to go deeper." ”

"Does this still need to be decided?" Gu Yue raised her pretty face, her eyes full of surprise, "What the hell are you thinking?"

Zhong Ruoxi said: "In this case, it depends on the meaning of most people, I advocate moving forward." ”

Gu Yue sneered: "You don't have to say that I know it, you just need to arrive on time or not, when do you care about the life or death of these people?"

Shi Yinghui was a little unhappy, and said categorically: "Now that it has come to this point, I insist on continuing to walk." ”

"I'm against it. Ji Wenbin raised a hand, "Gu Yue is right, we are a group of big living people, we can't run to the front to fight the beasts." Now Hall Chief Zhong and Brigade Commander Shi insist on going inside, and Gu Yue and I agree to go back, and the votes are two to two, to see what the others mean. ”

After saying that, Ji Wenbin turned his head to look at the others who were speechless, and glared: "You... Why don't you talk to any of them?"

As a result, the five of them, Deng Shi and Feng Yucheng, all looked at Li Qing with an embarrassed expression.

Ji Wenbin was stunned for a while: "Damn, let me ask you what you mean, why do you all see what Li Qing is doing?

"Hmph. Gu Yue snorted and glared at Li Qing with a dissatisfied look on her face, "Isn't this clear enough? These people are all wearing a pair of pants, and it's all up to you." This also depends on the meaning of most people, you can just decide for yourself!"

Li Qing couldn't help but snort: "You are a girl, why are you full of swear words at every turn." ”

Zhong Ruoxi stretched out his hand and stabbed Li Qing: "Don't talk nonsense, there's no time to delay here." ”

"This... This..."Li Qing stood up and glanced into the depths of the dense woods, then turned to look at Feng Yucheng, "What do you think?"

"Turning back now is tantamount to giving up this mission. Feng Yucheng replied in a low voice, "You are the captain, make your own decisions." ”

The ball was kicked back again, Li Qing hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Deng Shi again: "What about you?"

"I never cared about the so-called possible casualties, which of our previous missions was there no danger of death?" ”

"Damn!" Li Qing cursed and waved his hand violently, "Let's go!"

"Li Qing!" Gu Yue stood up and shouted.

The rain was dripping down from the top of his head, Li Qing turned around, stared at Gu Yue for a while, and slowly narrowed his eyes: "This road must be taken..."

"Find your own death!" Gu Yue said hatefully, and then passed by Li Qing's side and walked in the front, "I'll lead the way." ”

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the ten men were moving fast at first, but as they got deeper and darker, they had to slow down and walk cautiously through the rainforest.

Gu Yue walked in the front, Li Qing followed behind her, and the others behind her were also lined up, separated by a distance of one or two meters from each other.

Raising his head and looking through the dense branches and leaves, looking at the sky that was cut into pieces by the leaves, Li Qingmei was puzzled: "We are obviously taking the road up the mountain, logically speaking, the terrain has gradually become higher, why is there a swamp?"

Gu Yue replied softly, "The soil here is different from other places, the soil is loose, but it is very good at storing water. In this part of West Asia, there is a drought that lasts for two or three months every autumn and winter, but when have you ever seen a shortage of water here?"

"Hehe, this time it's good, we don't have to worry about drinking water. Li Qing raised his head and smiled bitterly.

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe after today, you won't need to drink water. ”

While speaking, Gu Yue's feet paused slightly, and the jade hand grabbed the branch in his hand and poked it on the grass. Li Qing stretched his neck to look, only to see that the grass over there was easily penetrated by the branches, and a cloud of black mud was stirred up, and there seemed to be some dense little things wriggling inside.

"The road ahead is not easy, watch your step. Gu Yue pursed her lips and said in a low voice. Her voice quickly dissipated into the dense sound of rain, and became extremely intangible.

Shi Yinghui walked around to the front, tore off the sapper shovel and plucked a spade in the mud, then turned on the waterproof flashlight and looked under his nose.

Wiping his cheeks full of rain, Shi Yinghui stared at the black beetles surging in the mud, and couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, this is the thing." When Lao Tzu first came to Longxi, he led the team into the mountains to carry out tasks, and more than half of the entire company died on this little thing. ”

Ji Wenbin leaned over with his head swayed, and when he saw those little insects mixed in the mud, he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp: "Is this thing so powerful?"
