Chapter 406: Survival in the Wilderness - Rushing Out of the Amazon

With a total length of 6,440 kilometers, the Amazon River is the second longest river in the world, and is the largest river in the world with the largest flow and the widest basin area. With a total length of about 6,751 kilometers from the birthplace of the Ucayali-Apurimac water system in Peru, its westernmost source is the towering Andes Mountains, less than 160 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean, and its entrance is in the Atlantic Ocean, with about 6.6 trillion cubic meters of water flowing into the Atlantic Ocean every year, equivalent to 1/6 of the total amount of water injected into the oceans by the world's rivers.

The Amazon basin includes most of Brazil and Peru, parts of Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia, and a small part of Venezuela, with about two-thirds of the main stream and the vast majority of the basin within Brazil.

Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei survived in Brazil, the largest country in the Amazon Basin, accounting for half of the entire Amazon Basin.

Located in the north of Brazil, Amazonas is the largest state in Brazil and the third largest state in the Americas after Nunavut in Canada and Alaska in the United States, bordering Peru, Colombia and Venezuela and covering one-fifth of the entire Amazon basin.

As usual, the two contacted the South American branch of the hunting service company.

It is not surprising that when Liu Danqing selected hunting service companies before, he deliberately chose a company that is not the largest, but has the widest business scope, in order to facilitate cooperation around the world.

The person in charge of the South American branch of the hunting service company received them warmly, and in their opinion, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei were simply the shining gods of wealth.

Since the Louisiana branch and the European branch have cooperated with them, the performance has been booming, and now the African branch has also signed a contract with the saber-toothed tiger, leaving only the South American branch and the Australian branch to watch the direct salivation.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, now the South American branch is finally looking forward to Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei's arrival, and in addition to joy, there is also the gloating of the Australian branch of the former brothers.

As soon as they got off the plane, the two saw a group of people from the hunting service company greeting them under the plane, as if they were receiving the head of state, so that the passengers on the same plane began to guess the identities of the two one by one.

The two arrived not in São Paulo, the capital of Brazil, but in Rio de Janeiro, the former capital of Brazil, which is more famous in China, the legendary capital of turmoil.

Sitting on the extended version of the Cadillac of the hunting service company, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei went to the hotel arranged by the hunting service company.

Outside the window, the two saw two of Rio de Janeiro's most famous things.

The first is the seventh wonder of the world, the statue of Christ the Redeemer, located on the top of the 710-meter-high Corcovado Mountain in the Rio de Janeiro National Forest Park, with a total height of 38 meters, a huge volume, weighing 1,145 tons, and the distance between the fingers of the left and right hands reaches 23 meters. It overlooks the entire city of Rio de Janeiro and also makes people look up at it from time to time.

There is also the ubiquitous hot girls in Rio, who wear cool clothes, showing toned thighs and even round buttocks.

Now the temperature in Brazil is a minimum of more than 20 degrees and a maximum of more than 30 degrees, which is the season when hot pants and bandeau are popular, so that Liu Danqing harvested Xiao Weiwei's eye darts several times.

After having dinner with a group of people in charge of the South American branch, and making an appointment with the general manager of the saber-toothed tiger to come to Brazil to sign an agreement in the near future, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei bid farewell to their owners and came to the street where the lights were first lit up in Rio de Janeiro.

The night view of Rio de Janeiro is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, especially the beach at night, under the light of neon lights, energetic handsome men and women singing songs and dancing samba are intoxicating.

The next day, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei boarded a small plane arranged by a hunting service company and flew directly to Manaus, the capital of Amazonas.

In Manaus, they put the supplies they were going to carry in their backpacks and took a helicopter to the vast jungle.

Sitting on the helicopter, Liu Danqing started the junior and shouted: "Dear audience and friends, welcome to watch the wilderness survival couple - rushing out of the Amazon, I am Danqing, now I am sitting on the helicopter, the noise is too loud, not to say more, we are about to go down to the Amazon rainforest, because there is a dense canopy below, we can't use the rope landing method, so we have to parachute down." ”

Liu Danqing tied Xiao Weiwei in front of him with a lock, then stood up and held on to the helicopter door and said: "Now, I am tied to Weiwei together, so as to prevent us from getting separated in the jungle, okay, let's talk again, wow!"

As he spoke, Liu Danqing jumped out of the helicopter and quickly opened his parachute.

As the height got lower and lower, soon, the two began to reach the canopy.

Because of the wind, they did not land straight, but continued to move in the canopy, and in order to avoid being poked by the branches, the two kept kicking the branches under their feet.

Finally, the two stopped.

The parachute hung on the top of a large tree, while Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei were suspended in mid-air at a height of 20 meters above the ground.

"Slightly, shake together, shake hard, kick the trunk, kick again, keep the trunk, good!"

With the joint efforts of Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei, the two shook to the trunk, and Xiao Weiwei kept the trunk.

Liu Danqing, who was behind Xiao Weiwei, began to undo the buttons connecting the two, and as all the buttons were unfastened, Liu Danqing was shaken back into the air.

After Xiao Weiwei was liberated, she climbed up, while Liu Danqing shook and shook again, then hugged the tree trunk, and climbed up a little, and said: "Weiwei is going to untie the landing mountain now, so that we can recycle it, parachutes are very good survival materials, especially in this insect paradise." ”

"There are more than two and a half million species of insects living in the Amazon, a large part of which are poisonous, and in some difficult situations, it is a good idea to isolate us from the insect world with a parachute. ”

Xiao Weiwei climbed to the top of the tree neatly, pulled out the mountain knife she carried, cut off a lot of branches hanging from the parachute, and then pulled the parachute down with force.

When the parachute fell like a cloud, Liu Danqing also slid down from the tree, gathered the landing mountain, and stuffed it into his backpack.

At this time, Xiao Weiwei also slipped down from the tree and stood next to him.

"Dear viewers and friends, welcome to watch the wilderness survival couple file - rushing out of the Amazon, I am Danqing. ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you to death, I'm Weiwei. ”

"Right now, we are really in the rainforest of the Brazilian Amazon, in the Amazon basin. ”

"The Amazon River is the largest river in the world in terms of flow, basin and tributaries. It is 6,400 kilometers long, the Amazon River is the second longest river in the world, and it is the world's first river, its river flow reaches 219,000 cubic meters per second, which is several times larger than the other three major rivers Nile, Yangtze River and Mississippi River combined, about equivalent to the flow of 7 Yangtze River, accounting for 20% of the world's river flow, and the basin area is more than 7 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to an Australia, or three-quarters of China. ”

"There are 15,000 tributaries of the Amazon River, which are spread over a large area of South America, and we have one near us, but we don't know where it is, but we will find it. ”

"It contains the world's richest and most diverse biological resources, with millions of species of insects, plants, birds and other creatures, many of which have not yet been recorded in science, and a large part of them are very dangerous, such as anacondas, caimans, jaguars, cougars, catfish, ants, poison frogs, etc. ”

"Now the temperature here is about 30 degrees, but because of the low altitude and the dense forest, it makes us feel very hot, which is also one of the dangers of the Amazon, the stuffiness is more likely to cause electrolyte imbalance due to excessive water loss, which is commonly known as heat stroke. ”

A brief introduction to the current situation, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei began to report equipment work as usual.

This time, Xiao Weiwei was the first to report her equipment, and she began to introduce her equipment.

"Look, that's my equipment, first of all, a dagger, the M9 stinger, which is easy to find in the Americas, and now I like it, and I feel like it's easy to use, and the others, uh, nothing else. ”

Then Liu Danqing also began to report his work equipment.

"This is my military knife in the rainforest, in the rainforest, if you don't have a knife, it's simply hard to move an inch, then this parachute bag, it's ugly, but it's useful, and then there's the parachute inside, including a rectangular parachute surface about thirty square meters in size and dozens of 550 lines. ”

"That's all we have to do, everything else needs to be found in the jungle, made by ourselves, okay, let's go, first we need to find a river, or a stream. ”

"In the Amazon rainforest, it is not difficult to find a small stream, because there are countless small streams here, and they converge into small rivers, and then they merge into large rivers, and finally into the Amazon River," Liu Danqing said, waving a mountain knife to open the way. ”

"That's where the Amazon's huge flow comes from, and it's fed by countless creeks, oh!"

Xiao Weiwei heard Liu Danqing's exclamation, and immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Damn the vines!" Liu Danqing replied, "Cut the top ones, and the bottom ones are stumbling." ”

Xiao San gave Liu Danqing a close-up of his feet, only to see a brown vine, or more likely the aerial root of a tree, on Liu Danqing's feet, almost tripping him up.

Pulling his foot out, Liu Danqing suddenly said to Xiao San: "Xiao San, take a picture in the distance, I want to take off my underwear, it's too stuffy here, my underwear is now wet with sweat, I can be dry after taking it off to avoid some skin diseases." ”
