Chapter 9: The Canyon Walk
In this part of Peru, all of them are high mountains and valleys.
Machu Picchu is also located on a hill of more than 4,000 meters, according to the original design concept, this is also a fortress place, but later due to the difficult terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it became more and more important.
It's just that now it seems that Xing Jie and them are a little miserable.
Steep cliffs, narrow paths, all the way from the plateau snow-capped mountains to the subtropical jungle, along the way, not to mention how hard it is to rush, the temperature alone has tossed these people enough.
And the most important point is that the uncle's search for the impression of the year is not smooth. Subtropical jungles like this, not to mention the marks left a few years ago, even if they were left a few days ago, will quickly disappear in this place where plants are crazy.
It's not so much a wayfinding journey as it is a new adventure.
With the general direction, it's very simple, it's a canyon, just go straight along the stream. According to the memories of his uncle, when he fled, he also followed this canyon, and with the relatively rich resources in this valley, he escaped.
And more than 100 kilometers, which is not a very close distance, but after half a day's journey, Xing Jie is already a little tired. It was extremely hot, but he didn't dare to take off his coat. Everyone knows that in a jungle like this, it is not those large beasts that are terrifying, after all, there are so many people here, and they are fully armed, and generally speaking, there is not much danger.
But the various insects in this jungle are not easy to say, God knows which insects here will carry what toxins, once they are stung, it is far from being sour and refreshing. Even if you don't talk about poisonous insects, mosquitoes and locusts alone can make everyone who comes near them miserable.
"Wait a minute, something isn't quite right. The uncle suddenly stopped and looked around with some confusion.
"What's wrong?" Alyssa asked.
"It's not the right way, we seem to be going in the wrong direction. I still have an impression of what we walked just now, but since 10 minutes ago, I haven't had any impression of the environment here, which is impossible. ”
"Could it be that your memory is missing?, you must know that there is only one road in the entire canyon. And according to the map, there are no other forks in the canyon. ”
The uncle raised his eyebrows, glanced back at Alyssa, and said, "Don't trust the information provided by other people too much, especially the so-called detailed data provided to us by the local government. You know, after all, we are an external force, and if we are not classified as spies, we are already showing the strength of the country behind us.
Although Peru is not a weak country, the US imperialism and China are not something they can afford to provoke at all. If you try it in another country, you'll find out. ”
"Uncle, what now? Go back to the point where you still have memories?"
"Well, in my memory, there have been some strange changes in the canyon here, and that is that in my memory, the ground soil and rocks of the valley have taken on a deep rusty red, and by the time they turn back to this earthy yellow, they will be almost Machu Picchu.
Now that I think about it, there is something wrong with it. Although my skills are not bad, it is a little strange that I can pass through more than 100 kilometers of canyon without harm when I am covered in injuries. Huh, isn't it?"
Alyssa was also a little confused, after all, what Uncle Xing Jie said was a little too magical. Like this canyon, although she did not walk it, even if the Peruvian government for some reason did not produce the most detailed map, the satellite images do not lie.
Just wanted to open his mouth to distinguish, but found that Xing Jie began to take deep breaths and checked his equipment in an all-round and most careful way. Not only Xing Jie, but also Xing Jie's brother-in-law and Basang also began to do this.
"Alyssa, can you tell me all about the surrounding situation of this canyon?" Xing Jie said flatly.
"The whole canyon is east-west, located at the southern end of the Andes, this section of Peru is basically more than 400 kilometers, because of the difficult terrain and harsh environment, so there is little value for development. Another of our governments has been tasked with photographing this 100-kilometer landscape. By the way, a two-day journey north from here can reach the site of the Xia Wen civilization. ”
Is Xia Wen civilized?
Interesting.
Xing Jie waved his hand and walked back.
This makes Alyssa quite unhappy, she always makes the decision, and everyone else just needs to implement it, but when someone has doubts, she will still give an answer. But now, although Xing Jie is the captain and has this power, he did not give any explanation, and only gave up moving forward with the obviously illogical words of the magic hand. This made her feel that Xing Jie was just a vain person.
After arriving at the place that the uncle said, the others began to rest in place after doing the deworming, while Xing Jie took Alyssa aside.
"I know you're unhappy with my decision, but I trust my brother-in-law more than you do. It's not that he's my relative, but that you're far inferior to him in terms of experience, knowledge, and any other aspect. This is not blind worship, this is what I have learned from my uncle's countless experiences.
I know that your status is definitely not ordinary, but there is one thing you should not forget. Why didn't you directly serve as the second-in-command of the Aziz team before my brother-in-law retired, even though Professor Clint had so much trust in you, and even put you in charge of the formation of the new generation of special combat teams of the Illuminati?
I'll just say this today, and if you still can't accept it, you can go back. Also, why does my brother-in-law still call you in this situation? ”
After speaking, Xing Jie turned around and returned to the temporary station, and Basang and the five of them smoked and bragged very happily.
Bassan glanced at Alyssa and smiled silently. This Xing Jie is too soft-hearted. Isn't it just that I want to repay Professor Clint for his favor? As for what he said so clearly? Such a naked education of people hurts people's self-esteem.
Sure enough, after Alyssa was stunned there for a while, she ran over angrily, snatched the cigarette case from Xing Jie's hand, took out one, lit a cigarette, and after taking a puff, she highlighted a smoke ring with great sophistication.
"In the future, if you dare to mention today's incident again, I will tell Yang that you peeked at me taking a shower!" Alyssa said with a smile.
"Phew, it's not a shame to say that you have a cup of A! Which of the two sisters, Clara and Lilia, is not in better shape than yours? As far as your pectoralis muscles are not as big as Basan, I peeked at you taking a shower?
However, Xing Jie obviously forgot one thing, that is, the biggest characteristic of Finnish women is that they are as strong as men. And to say in front of a woman that her breasts are small will become a mortal enemy.
Well, Xing Jie is miserable. Who would have thought that such a Finnish woman who looked a little thin would also be a master of Brazilian Gracie Jiu-Jitsu? All kinds of strangulation techniques made Xing Jie taste the whole thing, and the taste almost made Xing Jie cry.
