Volume 3 Scattering a Thousand Gold for Landscapes Chapter 17 A Military Map
After Zhang Wei chased out for more than two hours in the direction that Liu Nan and the others had evacuated just now, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, he found that the light around him was getting darker and darker, the plants around him were becoming taller and denser, the vines were also thicker, and there were many wild beasts and various insects around him, and from time to time he could find poisonous snakes hiding in the lush branches or fallen leaves not far away.
This change in the environment made Zhang Wei realize that he might have gone deep into the Savage Mountain, because these discoveries could not have appeared on the periphery of the Savage Mountain. Zhang Wei stopped and pulled out the saber tied to his leg, wanting to use the compass that came with the handle to make a position, but found that the pointer of the compass just kept shaking and could not give an exact direction. I took out my phone and saw that the screen was already black, and I couldn't turn on the phone when I pressed the power button, and there was no electricity at all.
"Pills, I'm lost!" Zhang Wei stood under a big tree and was dumbfounded.
Realizing that he was lost, Zhang Wei counted the items on his body and found that his situation was not optimistic, he had nothing on his body at this time except for a saber, a pistol and two matching magazines, as well as a box of cigarettes and a lighter.
How dangerous is Savage Mountain Zhang Wei had checked some information on his mobile phone in the morning and knew a little bit about it. In the hot and humid forest environment of Savage Mountain, it is a paradise for poisonous snakes, insects, mosquitoes, and leeches, and these poisonous insects are extremely active in this mountain. In addition, there are poisonous miasma and swamps everywhere that can kill people. But when it comes to the deadliest thing, that is, all kinds of germs are everywhere with the creatures in the forest, and what relapsing fever, malaria, tetanus, septicaemia and other forest diseases are the deadliest killers in this mountain.
During the war of that year, tens of thousands of people of the Chinese Expeditionary Force lost nearly half of their units after crossing the Savage Mountain, while the entire 100,000 troops of the Expeditionary Force died about 20,000 people in battle, but more than 30,000 people stayed in this mountain forever when crossing the Savage Mountain.
In the summer, after a heavy rain in the Savage Mountain, it is likely that there will be a miasma suddenly, as well as the swamp hidden under the rotting leaves, and the various insects that breed in the humid weather, making it basically impossible for ordinary people to survive here.
In such an environment, unfamiliar with the terrain, no supplies, no backup and lost, for an ordinary person, there is no doubt that one foot has entered the ghost gate.
At this time, Zhang Wei was tired, hungry, and thirsty, and after the battle and running just now, his spirit was also a little sluggish. Zhang Wei sat under the tree and lit a cigarette, began to think about how to solve the dilemma in front of him, and tried to call the elven heart again, but still received no response. After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Wei thought of a stupid way, relying on his agility, Zhang Wei found the tallest and largest tree around, and climbed it in three or two clicks. Standing high in the canopy, Zhang Wei unleashed the "Eagle Eye" magic and saw everything within four or five kilometers of the surrounding area.
At this glance, Zhang Wei was dumbfounded again, because the surrounding four or five kilometers were all undulating jungles, and a green mountain in the distance, and there was no other color. Zhang Wei grabbed the trunk of the tree, looked around several times, and muttered: "I'll go, don't run to the middle of the forest, why can't you even see the shadow of the village and the city." ”
Of course, this exploration was not without results, on a small hillside thousands of meters away, Zhang Wei saw a stream that meandered down from a high place, anyway, he had already lost his way, and he didn't want to find a way out for a while, it was better to go to the creek to solve the problem of thirst first.
Remembering the location, Zhang Wei got down from the tree and walked towards the water source. Zhang Wei walked alone in the jungle, much faster than following Liu Nan and the others, but in about ten minutes, he came to the side of the stream, and the gurgling mountain spring was crystal clear, which made Zhang Wei's thirst a little more urgent.
Just as Zhang Wei was about to hold water in both hands to drink, he suddenly remembered that when he set off this morning, Min Tun had said that most of the mountain springs in Savage Mountain cannot be drunk directly, and must be boiled and drunk, otherwise it is likely to cause malaria. Thinking of this scene, Zhang Wei's hands immediately paused in mid-air, and he hesitated in his heart.
According to his physique and magic, even if there is malaria poison in this mountain spring, it may not be able to hurt him, but there is a case for everything, he is now alone in this mountain forest, if he really gets some disease and magic can't cure it, then it is not far from death. But he doesn't even have a pot at hand now, how can this water be boiled?
Zhang Wei began to try to recall the wilderness survival skills he had seen on TV and books, and after thinking for a while, he swept a bamboo forest not far away, and immediately remembered that he had seen a picture on the Internet of someone boiling water with bamboo knots in the wild, and immediately got up and went to the bamboo forest to cut three long bamboos and came back.
Zhang Wei used a saber to cut the bamboo into two sections, and then used a saber to pierce the bamboo joints to make a bamboo tube. Zhang Wei made a total of four such bamboo tubes, and then he collected some dry leaves and branches around, lit a fire with a lighter, filled the four bamboo tubes with spring water, set them up with branches, leaned around the fire, and waited for the water in the bamboo tubes to boil.
While waiting, Zhang Wei, who has the skills of "carving", made eight bamboo buckets with a saber, made a small round hole with the tip of the knife on the bamboo joint, and cut a section of branches to make a few wooden stoppers that could just plug the round holes. Zhang Wei split some bark and bamboo strips, blended them together, tied each four bamboo kettles together, and made a back rope for each of the two tied bamboo buckets, so that there were two simple kettles that could be carried.
After doing all this, the first batch of water was also boiled, the previous bamboo appearance has been somewhat carbonized, can not continue to use, Zhang Wei first selected two bamboo tubes to put aside, the water to cool to drink, the remaining two bamboo tubes of boiling water is poured into the bamboo kettle to reserve. Then, Zhang Wei made four more bamboo tubes and continued to boil water. While waiting for the second batch of water to boil, Zhang Wei made another bamboo cup out of bamboo for drinking.
Even after boiling water three times, the eight bamboo kettles were all filled, and the first two pots of water were already cold.
After drinking the water, the thirst was swept away, Zhang Wei was also a lot more energetic, and laughed bitterly: "Hahaha, I didn't expect the water boiled out like this to have a bit of bamboo fragrance, well, this is an authentic savage mountain spring, and it's a little sweet, not bad." ”
Being able to maintain an optimistic spirit in a difficult environment is a solid first step away from getting out of the predicament.
In this process of boiling water and storing water, Zhang Wei worked for two hours, and the light around him dimmed a little, although there was no watch to see the time, but Zhang Wei also knew that it should not be long before the sun went down.
"It seems that you want to go out today, so you have to find a place to spend the night at night. After Zhang Wei said something to himself, he extinguished the fire, crossed his back with the reserved water, stuffed the bamboo cup in his clothes, and walked upstream along the stream.
In the process of traveling, Zhang Wei found a strange thing, whether it was poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, or some wild beasts in the forest along the way, after seeing Zhang Wei, he did not make any attack, but quickly turned around and left, at first Zhang Wei thought that this was a creature in the forest afraid of humans. But when he found seven dry bones wearing the uniforms of the Japanese army, he woke up to the fact that for these snakes, insects, ants and beasts in Savage Mountain, human beings are a big meal, how can there be the possibility of fear, and the reason why the "aborigines" of this sub-forest are merciful to him is mostly because he is a half-elf relationship.
These dry bones provided Zhang Wei with some good things, and Zhang Wei obtained seven intact metal lunch boxes, seven empty water bottles, a military map, seven backpacks, a good Japanese knife, and some miscellaneous items, such as compasses, rusty guns, and so on. Of course, Zhang Wei couldn't finish these things, he chose a backpack that had not yet decayed, picked a few good lunch boxes and kettles to wash by the stream, stuffed them into the backpack, and began to study the map.
Military maps are incomprehensible to ordinary people, but fortunately, these few dead Japanese soldiers made a few marks on this map before they died. Judging from the markings on the map, there is a pennant logo at a closer distance to the west where the seven dead Japanese soldiers are located, and I don't know what it is, and a longer distance to the east, there is a red dot mark, and there is a description of Dongying language next to it, in which there are only two words Zhang Wei can understand, these two words are "treasure". Although there are certain differences between the Chinese characters in the Dongying language and the Chinese characters in terms of interpretation, some words have almost the same meaning.
"Hmm, what does the treasure mean?" Zhang Wei looked at the two words on the map and was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said very excitedly: "Could it be that this is a treasure looted by the Japanese invasion army? No, this must be seen in the past, maybe there is a treasure of the Chinese people here." ”
Although he did not study history, Zhang Wei had also heard a little about the large amount of treasure looted by the Japanese soldiers when they retreated from Burma, and now that he found the location of the suspected treasure, how could he not want to see it.
Putting away the treasure map, Zhang Wei decided to go to the location of the pennant closer to the east first, so Zhang Wei climbed to the top of the tree trunk again, looked at the direction of the sun, determined the east and west directions, and after getting off the tree, he put on two military backpacks and a homemade water bottle on his back, and began to march east. Trekking all the way, just when the surrounding light was getting dimmer and dimmer, Zhang Wei suddenly came to an open field.
The open field was littered with broken military tents, dead men's bones and rusty firearms and weapons were everywhere, and in front of one of the largest military tents, a decaying plaster flag was almost unrecognizable in the dirt.
The scene in front of him made Zhang Wei immediately understand that this should have been the temporary residence of an army of the Japanese State.
