Chapter 1976: The River Rushes
The night air is darker and more solemn, the crystal stars twinkle in the vast gray sky, like the tearful eyes of relatives in the homeland, the owls in the jungle howl, and the night birds flapping their soft wings over the top of the rubble. Lin Rui's thoughts flew far away, and his heart was full of sadness.
Sergei moaned unconsciously throughout the first half of the night, and only fell into a coma in the second half of the night. Most of the team members stayed up almost all night, taking turns sitting next to him.
It was not until early in the morning that Sergei had a brief lucidity.
"You all haven't slept all night?" Sergey said weakly. Lin Rui raised his head in amazement, and then hugged him. "Russians!"
"Fuck off, Rick. Even if I need a hug, I should come over with a beautiful woman. If it were your girlfriend, I wouldn't mind. Sergei chuckled bitterly in a low voice, he was covered in sweat and almost soaked through his clothes.
"Fuck off, Russians! you almost scared us all to death. Lin Rui laughed and scolded, feeling a burst of pleasure, and he felt that Sergei's fever had subsided. He hurriedly shouted, "Rose, come here, the Russians are awake!" and check him out. ”
Rose touched Sergei's forehead and nodded, "The serum has worked, and his life is not in danger." Damn the Russians, you really sparked me yesterday. ”
"Are you sure he's okay?" Lin Rui said excitedly.
"It should be fine, but he's weak now. Rose nodded. "The serum injection goes directly into the vein, relies on the blood circulation throughout the body, and works quickly. Just like snake venom enters the bloodstream and takes effect, he should be fine. But yesterday he was really dangerous, but fortunately this guy survived. ”
"Hey, come here, girl. How about giving my brother a hug?" Sergey said with a smile when he saw Yelena.
Yelena hugged him and whispered, "I prepared a bullet for you yesterday." But I'm glad I didn't get it today. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and hugged Lin Rui again.
Sergei smiled tiredly and said, "I understand, I understand." Thank you. ”
Crazy Horse was also relieved, and walked over to high-five Sergei, "Damn the Russians, I thought I was going to lose you forever." He hugged Sergei and couldn't hold back his tears.
"You damned Yankee!" Sergei also patted him on the shoulder, laughing happily and weeping, "I dare say, it must have been your idea to let Yelena give me one last ride." You damn Yankee. ”
"Alright, alright, he's still weak and needs to rest. Rose hurriedly asked Sergei to lie down again, "Come and boil some hot water, he needs to drink some more water." ”
After a night of suffering, Sergei managed to survive, and the news made the whole team excited. The next problem, though, was that he was too weak to move with the team.
After Lin Rui discussed with the team members, he asked Rose to take care of Sergei, and the two of them followed the team. The others set out first to find the river as a reference. As long as they find the river, they can go up the river to search for the secret base.
After a night's rest, the players looked languishing, sleepy-eyed and tired, their sweaty, dirty camouflage uniforms had left a white salt frost after they had dried, and the legs and feet of the black biscuits were swollen, and they walked with a limp, as if their energy had been drained by the hours of cutting yesterday.
However, the good news that Sergei survived still infected everyone. All the mercenaries are a bit superstitious about luck, so the team members think it's a good sign, and this time, luck is on their side, not the opponent's.
Following the direction that Cobain had re-marked for them, the team members went into the jungle again, sweating like rain, repeating yesterday's felling to open the way. In order to learn the lesson of Sergei's poisonous snake bite, the team members had to tie their cuffs and trouser legs, no matter how hot it was. Wrap your head with a cloth towel up to your neck and rub mosquito oil on your face.
In this sweltering heat, this kind of sin is not human.
The team fought hard to cut down and advanced in the jungle for four hours. Lin Rui announced a break for dinner, and the drinking water they carried was not much left. Everyone was anxious. Although there are water sources in the tropical rainforest, they are all stagnant pools, full of all kinds of germs and must not be drunk. In addition, even the use of water purifier cannot eliminate the foul odor, and a few drops in the mouth can cause vomiting. If there is no water source for another half day, the team will be in trouble again.
At this moment, Crazy Horse leaned over to Lin Rui and whispered, "Rick!
"Really?" Lin Rui stopped what he was doing, listened intently, and a flowing sound faintly came, he concluded that it was not the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and couldn't help but shout happily, "Brothers, listen, there is a river ahead!"
The sound is getting clearer.
"Forty or fifty meters from us at most," he shouted, "Cut down!
The members of the O2 team shouted excitedly. The power of hope was endless, and it took less than half an hour for them to find the river.
See the river covered by greenery. The team members cheered, and the sound of flowing water was the most beautiful and heartfelt song. The sound of the river was caused by a drop of several meters, and a stream splashed down the verdant trees, splashing down the cliffs.
For the suffocating and thirsty team members who came out of the ancient woods, this can be said to be heaven, and everyone was inspired by this almost illusory scene and became carried away!
"We've found it at last!" cried Sandro, and threw himself into the stream with all his gear, drinking from the fountain with his hands, and burrowing his head into the water......
Lin Rui and Jiang An were not so impulsive, and invariably held guns in their hands, monitoring the upper and lower ends of the river to avoid possible attacks. …… Finally, it was confirmed that there was no threat in the vicinity. Lin Rui ordered the team to send a sentry, and everyone else could strip and take a shower, and fill their own kettles after everyone had taken a bath.
He himself went down to drink the water of the stream, but he didn't expect the river in the rainforest of the island to be so clear and cool. The team members were happily caressing their sweat-soaked bodies, shivering with pleasure and scolding desperately. The river, which they had finally found, made them fully feel the comfort after anxiety and the heartiness after exhaustion.
The river saved them, the river was actually very wide, but the jungle on both sides was so dense that it almost covered the river tightly, like a curved green tunnel, and along the vegetation gap of the river, they could see Mount Kinabalu in the distance, with clusters of overlapping peaks near and far. That hidden base should be nearby.
