Chapter 59: Fruit Bats
Nights are always lonely and long. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fang Hong lay upright in the hammock and counted the stars, it was also difficult to find a tall tree in this place, the wind blew and was struck by lightning.
It's hard to have such a place where you can see the sky.
The nebula is shining, the stars that twinkle thousands of years ago. The dim sky, the cold and dark space of eternal silence.
And the various nebulae that swirled around each other were already childhood memories.
When I was a child, I sat in the yard and watched the unknown stars in the sky cool in the summer night, and watched the meteors streak across the sky.
In today's cities, there are no stars anymore, let alone stars, and even the moon cannot be seen in that side of the sky.
In smaller cities, you can still see a few stars. One is called the International Space Station, one is called Sky Experiment 1, and the other is called the Motorola Experiment Satellite.
Soon, Tiangong No. 1 can still be seen.
The brightness of the artificial satellite is overwhelming the starry sky.
Of course, meteors cross the sky, but if you see a star that appears for more than ten seconds and then disappears, it is probably an artificial satellite or space station.
The speed of the flowing clouds in the Amazon sky is like pulling a tablecloth.
Within ten minutes, heavy rain was coming.
Fang Hong pulled out the standing rainproof artifact, a tablecloth, and covered his body.
Snoring and sleeping.
At three o'clock in the morning, a black shadow came with wings and hung upside down on a tree.
Fang Hong woke up vigilantly, glanced at it, and then fell asleep again.
The next day, Fang Hong quickly fast-forwarded the video all night, only to find out that this guy had been staying here all night and had not rested all night.
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Hong still chose the screenshot provided by the live broadcaster to show the water friends.
As soon as the huge flying fox flew over, the sailors exploded.
"What is this!"
"Oh my God, can this wingspan be two meters?"
"Is this a pterodactyl?"
"It doesn't have a tail, it's supposed to be a bat, it's so big, it reminds me of a vampire. ”
Fang Hong smiled: "Fruit bat, vegetarian." ”
"Brother Gun, I don't think it's right, this thing has been staring at you. ”
The flying fox hung on the branch on Fang Hong's head, hanging with the hammock vine.
"You see, its wings are not tightened in front of it, but are slightly opened, indicating that it is not resting. Fang Hong: "As for it staring at me all the time, it is probably because of its natural head-down." There aren't too many big trees around here, and it's understandable that it's hanging here, it's a vegetarian, I can't look like a cucumber, right?"
"It's dirty. ”
"Woooooo
"Flying foxes, the largest type of bat in the world, because of the different breeds and different sizes, the small ones also have a wingspan of tens of centimeters, the largest can be more than one meter and close to two meters, and this one should have a wingspan of nearly two meters. ”
"Tut-tut, to describe him, the quantifiers are all used in the head instead of only. ”
The only thing that Fang Hong couldn't figure out was that this guy's eyes were also of the titanium alloy dog eye type, but they were a little red, just like the feeling of a robot terminator.
In a short time, the morning dawn rose, day and night alternated, and in an instant the sky suddenly brightened.
The flying fox shook its body and flew away.
"There should be a habitat around here. ”
Even if it is day and night, you can't hang it on a tree in the middle of the day, isn't that looking for death?
"Fruit bats are social animals, scourge orchard experts, orchard locusts. This guy isn't here to find a way, is he? Tomorrow night, a bunch of fruit bats will kill this place?"
"Brother Gun, does the monkey escape have anything to do with this guy?"
Fang Hong frowned and thought for a moment: "It shouldn't matter, they are vegetarians." ”
After collecting a lot of fruits and eating breakfast, Fang Hong set off.
Along the way, Fang Hong felt that bringing food was a redundant thing.
Sweet potatoes and fruits.
All kinds of melons and fruits.
In this monkey kingdom behind the wetland, there is nothing left, no mammals, and the lizards crawling all over the ground are gone.
After advancing for a long time, Fang Hong saw a huge earthworm twisting and twisting on the ground.
"Holy, what the hell is this! Dinosaur roundworms?"
Fang Hong: "This is a giant earthworm, which can reach up to two meters long. Ordinary earthworms are small experts in loosening soil and beneficial insects, but this kind of giant worm is not necessarily, and they are dry when the soil and water are soft. ”
Giant earthworms are not a cause for concern, and there is no need to touch them.
"Today, it's become a special melon and fruit fair!"
The most amazing thing is that you went so far into the Amazon that you actually saw a biological invasion.
The reason why Fang Hong was so sure was because what Fang Hong saw was an orange tree.
It is a fruit native to China, which was introduced to South America three hundred years ago, and now, South America is the world's main citrus producing region.
"I actually saw oranges......"
Fang Hong searched everywhere, and finally found some traces of human activities, washed by rain, baked at high temperatures, and exposed to the sun, but the plastic packaged snack bags were still so conspicuous in the yellow earth.
"I don't know how long ago, someone here came, left the citrus seeds they brought from outside, and grew here. This orange tree is just one man tall, and in a few years, with the help of animals, it may be full of orange trees. ”
The orange tree, one of the most vibrant fruit trees, doesn't take long to dominate the area.
Fang Hong thought carefully: "Chop it down and burn it on the spot?"
"There's no need for this, Brother Gun, this thing is a cash crop, and it was introduced by themselves, and it's not too accidental, even if you cut it down, the next time you come will still lose a seed." ”
Fang Hong also thought about it for a long time.
Indeed, the Amazon basin is huge, with human settlements in every other area, planted with fruit trees.
Animals and birds in the depths of the jungle take away the seeds effortlessly, and it is impossible to grow cash crops on this scale without running wild.
Didn't the cassava introduced by China from Brazil run wild in the Cantonese-speaking region, and produced wild cassava?
"Then let it be. ”
After a long day's trek and a distance of forty-six kilometers, Fang Hong still hasn't walked out of this hot land of fruit forests.
On the eve of nightfall, Fang Hong did not choose to be a hammock, but chose to rest under a cliff.
This cliff was a stone cliff, and there was also a stone below, and Fang Hong raised a bonfire in front of it, and set up a tripod temporary tent with branches and tablecloths.
Fang Hong said goodbye to all the sailors and turned off the live broadcast.
In the middle of the night, about two o'clock in the morning locally, Fang Hong heard a commotion, immediately got up, and turned on the live broadcaster.
With the light of the small button battery flashlight, Fang Hong observed the tripod tent.
"Damn, what's wrong with Brother Gun?"
On the side of the tent, a breach of more than thirty centimeters is so clear.
"I don't know, I just slept until I suddenly felt the tent be cut open, like a dagger and something else. ”
"The campfire went out?"
"Extinguished. ”
"Beasts! Don't go out yet. ”
Fang Hong sat upright, leaning back to the side of the stone, waiting for a long time, but this situation did not happen.
Fang Hong looked at the small branches on the ground: "Could it be that the broken branches are cut apart?" No, the quality of the tablecloth will not be so bad." ”
"Isn't it fake?"
"I think it may be that the sun glue has become brittle. ”
Fang Hong took a deep breath: "There is this possibility, but it's better to be careful, sit and sleep tonight." ”
The stars shifted, the wind rose, the morning dew condensed, and the earth fell into boundless darkness.
The stars and the moon are gone, the sun is not rising, and before dawn, it is darkest.
After tossing twice at night, Fang Hong, who was sleeping in a daze, suddenly felt the sound of the wind in his ears.
"Squeak!"
Fang Hong turned over and got up, shook off all his sleepiness, turned on the live broadcaster, and used the knife in his left hand and the axe in his right hand: "There is a situation!"
