"Little ghost, what do you want?" saw Lynch, the black-faced soldier who saw the last one to come, asked in a rough voice.

The weapons on the cart had been selected for very little, except for a spear taller than him, and an extremely heavy battle axe.

Choosing one of the two, this is not a difficult task for Lynch Jr.

He pulled his sucking finger out of his mouth and pointed at the cool spear.

The black-faced soldier sneered and handed the gun to Lynch: "Little ghost, can you make a sound?"

"Hmph!" Lynch Jr. ignored the guy at all, took the spear and prepared to leave.

"If you want to live, I advise you to choose that axe. Lin Miaomiao stood aside and said coldly.

Xiao Lynch took a serious look at the girl who was a head taller than him, and said childishly: "Sister, I like guns, but I'm a boy." ”

"How old are you?"

"I'm eight years old today. ”

"Is it your birthday today?"

"Well, the aunt at the orphanage said that after my eighth birthday, I will be a little man from now on. ”

"Do you have any friends at the orphanage?"

"Yes. After Lynch finished speaking, he took out the transformer from his schoolbag and held it up to the girl: "Sister, look, isn't it cool?"

"The cooler ones are still to come......" Lin Miaomiao muttered, her eyes full of pathos that shouldn't have belonged to her age.

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Lynch tilted his head, stuck the barrel of the gun on the ground, and tapped his toes hard, but the result was still not as high as the gun.

"It's nothing, let's go assemble. Lin Miaomiao pursed her lips: "I'll still build yì and you want that axe." ”

After she finished speaking, she left Lynch Jr., who seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and ran quickly to the place where the team had assembled.

The female officer saw that everyone had almost made a choice, so she said: "I have already said the rules of the game just now, everyone should be in place, and build a group to act!"

"Who wants to follow me, I'm the big brother of our orphanage, and I've never lost a fight!" shouted a slightly taller boy in the group, with a pistol in his hand and a saber at his waist.

"Cut! I, Lin Miaomiao, have single-handedly killed the wild wolf! Whoever follows me will definitely not be wrong. Lin Miaomiao was not to be outdone.

The herd mentality of minors is very strict, the little boy is willing to play with the big boy, and the little girl is willing to play with the big girl.

As a result, a team of more than 20 people quickly formed two forces.

One is a men's corps led by tall boys.

One is the women's army headed by Lin Miaomiao.

When Lynch Jr. was late, the team had already been divided, and he walked over panting with a single-edged long-handled battle axe in his arms.

"What's the use of that stupid guy if you don't have a gun?" said the little fat man, sneering.

"I don't want to be in a team with this dirty kid!"

"I don't want to! I don't like to play with him!"

In the face of the boys' strong rejection, Lynch's sensitive and fragile self-esteem was suddenly hurt, and tears of humiliation began to flow down the little dirty face.

"Lynch, come to my team, I want you. Lin Miaomiao suddenly opened her mouth and invited.

Lynch lowered his head and pondered for a moment, moved over with small steps, walked to Lin Miaomiao, first glanced at her with gratitude, and then took out all the remaining packets of crisp noodles in the schoolbag, and raised his chick head: "Sister, these are all for you to eat, you are a good person." ”

"Thank you, I'm not hungry. Lin Miaomiao smiled at him and said, "Return to the team, ready to go." ”

Compared with the little boys who like to form gangs, the little girls obviously have no xenophobia, and they regard Lin Miaomiao more as a leader.

"The card machine issued to you must be kept safe, if you lose or break it, the gods will not be able to find you, do you understand?" the female officer instructed again, and gestured: "The game begins!"

For the children, the big forest is mysterious and beautiful, and they line up in two long lines, hand in hand, and start to settle into the rainforest.

Tropical rainforests, one of the most common ecosystems on Earth, receive high annual rainfall, usually higher than 1,800 mm, and in some places up to 3,500 mm. The rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year, and it is humid all year round, and the relative humidity of the air is more than 95%. The average precipitation is more than 80 inches per year, which exceeds the annual evaporation. There are no significant seasonal variations, with temperatures generally around 30C during the day and around 20C at night.

In addition to being humid all year round, the flora and fauna of the tropical rainforest are also very diverse, and to this day, there are many unknown species that cannot be explained by science.

In a multi-function radar vehicle, the female officer looks at the dazzling surveillance footage in front of her, which is cut into a dozen small squares, covering almost all the close-up close-ups of children.

"Captain, who do you think is the most likely to advance among these seeds?" asked the female officer without looking back.

"Lin Miaomiao. The captain said without thinking.

"Tell me your reasoning. ”

"Deterrence, leadership, judgment...... With such a seed, there is no reason not to advance. He said a whole lot of compliments.

"And who has the least hope of making the cut?" asked the female officer again.

The captain thought for a moment and replied, "That silly kid who eats crispy noodles." ”

"Why do you call him stupid?"

"Slow to react and simple-minded. The captain gave two negative comments, adding: "And most importantly, he has a poor ability to adapt to an unfamiliar environment, and it is difficult for such a person to integrate into the team." ”

"People with poor adaptability tend to be particularly strong, do you agree with me, Captain?" the female officer smiled faintly.

"There may be some truth, but our team, or our nation, relies on unity and cohesion!"

"Well, let's wait and see. After the female officer finished speaking, she put on her headphones again and listened to the feedback from various departments.

Rainforests are covered by four times more vegetation than normal forests, and in some places the sun doesn't even shine through.

It is said that you want to walk in a straight line, but in fact there is no road at all, and the bushes and vines that grow wildly are crazied, and if you are not careful, you will trip over.

Lin Miaomiao walked at the front of the line, and the equipment in her hand began to work, she was able to swing the Tang knife decently and cut through the waist-deep weeds.

Suddenly, from the depths of the jungle came the low roar of a beast, and it sounded terrifying, especially for children with very poor self-protection.

"Don't be afraid! If anyone dares to cry, I'll leave her alone!" Lin Miaomiao suddenly turned around and shouted at the little girl in the team.

There is no doubt that the cries will definitely attract the siege of wild beasts, and for Lin Miaomiao, who often goes in and out of the mountains and forests, this is the most common sense thing.

"Sister Miaomiao, I found a little star! here's one!" shouted a little girl, holding a small golden star made of plastic in her hand.

"Very well, everyone learn from her, look around carefully, and if you find this kind of little star, collect it, the more the better. After Lin Miaomiao gave the order, she continued to lead the team forward, and it was impossible to cross in a straight line according to what the female officer said, because there was never a road in the jungle, and the explorers could only rely on their brains and memory.

"Report to the captain, I found another one!"

"Look, there's it somewhere, hurry up and get it off the tree. ”

As they delved deeper into the jungle, the children collected more and more little stars, and their initial fears were stranded by the constant harvest.

Little Lynch, at the end of the team, looked left and right with his head as if he had installed screws, it was not that he couldn't find the little star, but he could see it, and he was quickly preempted by others.

The topography of the rainforest region is complex and varied, ranging from lowland plains with rocky hills to highland canyons crisscrossed by streams. The landscape creates a rainforest landscape with many forms. In the forest, quiet ponds, rushing streams, and cascading waterfalls are everywhere, and towering trees, tangled vines, and lush flowers and plants are intertwined into a green labyrinth.

The effort paid off, and just as the team was crossing a stream, Lynch suddenly saw a small star hidden under an umbrella-covered mushroom on the bank of the creek.

That place is so hidden that if you don't deliberately observe it, you can't find it at all.

Rub Rub ......

Little Lynch, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, didn't even take off his shoes in a hurry, and ran over in a hurry, splashing a large splash behind him.

"Lynch, come back quickly!" Lin Miaomiao heard the voice and looked back, and found that someone had left the team without permission.

"Sister, I also found a little star, I'll help you get it back. Lynch smiled childishly,

At the bottom of the clear stream, a gray ribbon swayed and swam swiftly in the direction Lynch was going.

"It's a water snake!" Lin Miaomiao gasped, if it weren't for the strange patterns on its body and the small triangular head, she really wouldn't have found it.

"Danger, Xiaoqi, come back quickly!" she stood on the shore and stomped her feet, but Lynch was already running farther and farther.

The water snake that went out to feed rose to the surface of the water, raised its triangular head and spat out scarlet letters, and the two rows of white sawtooth looked extremely sharp, and its size was not small in its kind, and its mouth was wide enough to swallow at least one goose egg.

Lynch, who arrived at the destination, was full of joy to find the little Venus from under the mushroom umbrella, and this extremely longing sense of existence has been motivating little Lynch's heart.

"Xiao Qi run! Danger!" Not only Lin Miaomiao alone, but also the little girls in the team saw it, the snake body of the water snake rose higher and higher, almost aligned with Xiao Lynch's neck.

As a cold-blooded animal, the snake is extremely aggressive in the face of invading enemies.

It's fine if it's a meadow or a wild field, but the rainforest is the place where natural selection is the most important.

Most of the time the animals living here live in games and maneuvers with natural predators, so the intention to take the initiative to attack is particularly strong.

By the time Lynch turned around and found the water snake, he was completely stupid, and the water snake's eyes seemed to have a magic spell, and he couldn't move his senses.

The water snake let out a terrifying breath and opened its mouth to bite Lynch's neck.

Poof! As soon as the snake's body flew halfway, a chilling sword shadow swept horizontally, directly cutting the water snake into two.

The half of the snake's body fell from the sky, and was quickly swept away by the stream, staining a small area of black-red water.

"Are you a fool?" Lin Miaomiao, who was panting, held a Tang knife in her hand: "That snake is poisonous, if it bites you, don't want to live!"

"Sister...... Why are you murdering me......" Little Lynch's aggrieved nose was sour, and he raised his little hand, and there was a small gold star in his palm.

Lin Miaomiao raised her hand, slapped his hand, and slapped the little Venus into the stream......

"Is your life important, or is the little star important?" Lin Miaomiao immediately grabbed his neck and said fiercely: "I ask you, answer me!"

Little Lynch just looked intently at the little star drifting farther and farther away, tears flowed down uncontrollably, an eight-year-old child, it was difficult to distinguish right from wrong. Not to mention the so-called value and glory, he just wants to prove his existence and tell him that there is still a person like him in the team, it's that simple.

"Cry, you know crying! If you love to cry so much, go home and cry! What are you doing here?" Lin Miaomiao angrily pushed him into the water and said, "Lynch, crybaby! You're not even as good as a little girl! No wonder no one has ever liked you!"

After she said this, she left in a huff.

Little Lynch sat in the water, looking at the back of the captain leaving, his little eyes were full of the kind of resentment that was humiliated, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and shouted with all his strength: "Sister, will you like me?"

"Don't even think about it!" Lin Miaomiao didn't look back.

"I'll prove it to you! Make you like me!" said Lynch, rising from the water, wolf-like, like a chicken in soup.

"Fool. Lin Miaomiao turned her back to him and chuckled.

――――――――――

"I like this kid's personality, he's a bit like me when I was younger, I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick. The captain grinned as he looked at the surveillance footage.

"Really, you mean, he has a chance of making the cut?" the female officer glanced at him.

"Everyone is a potential winner until the game is over, and we have no reason to doubt any of them. ”

"You know, you're getting more and more of an idealist. The corners of the female officer's mouth curled up with a hint of mockery.

"Perhaps, to borrow your words, let's wait and see. The captain said.

In fact, since then, Lynch has never left the team, and his understanding of eating a trench and growing wisdom seems to be deeper than anyone else.

Lin Miaomiao still led the charge, and according to the road signs, they were about to lead to a strange forest area.

"Everyone obeys my orders, every two people work in a group, back to back, can you do it?" Lin Miaomiao stood at the mouth of the jungle and observed for a long time, although she couldn't see any difference between this place and other jungles, but the eerie and strange aura could really be felt.

Under the influence of this extreme atmosphere, children's execution is often better than that of perennial people.

"Everybody keep up, don't get left behind, we'll be able to get through it soon. Lin Miaomiao soothed the hearts of the army while taking the lead in moving forward.

"You see, this tree looks so strange. A curious little girl suddenly reached out and touched a strange tree of iron and blue.

But when her little hand touched the branch, it was obvious that she sensed a feedback, which immediately triggered some kind of chain reaction.

From the many branches of the strange tree, a few rattans the thickness of a rolling pin quickly stretched out, like a python, and quickly wrapped around her ankles.

"Whoa, no!" By the time she realized the danger, it was clearly too late.

The speed at which those rattans were wound could almost be described as outrageous, and in just a dozen seconds, she bit her calf and lifted it into the air.

"Youkai wow!

"Woo woo, I'm going home......"

"I'm looking for my mother's ......"

In the face of the sudden change, the team members were scared and cried, not to mention children, even adults could not help but be afraid when they saw this terrifying scene.

"It's not a monster, it's a man-eating tree!" Lin Miaomiao made a judgment, brandished a Tang knife, and slashed at the rattan with the wind.

"Everyone stay where you are, don't move, I'll save her!"

However, the little girls who had a psychological breakdown, where could they still listen to the captain's words, and one by one they ran away like headless flies.

The so-called man-eating tree is actually a carnivorous plant, the legendary man-eating tree, which usually has many long branches and hangs down to the ground. Some of them are like fast-breaking wires, and the wind blows and shakes, and if someone accidentally touches them, all the branches of the tree will reach in the same direction like a devil's claw, and wrap the person tighter and tighter, so that the person cannot get out. The branches of the tree soon secrete a very sticky gel that digests the captured "food", and the animal sticks to this liquid, which is slowly "digested" and becomes a delicious meal for the tree. When the branches of the cannibal tree have sucked up the nutrients, they flutter again, and once again lay a net of heaven and earth, ready to capture the next victim.

Although the man-eating trees here are not as exaggerated as folklore, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

After all, if you hang people like this, the captured person has no room to resist at all, and if no one cares about her, she will soon have a brain congestion, and then die of thirst and starvation.

Soon, one by one, the running little girls fell prey to the man-eating tree, first tangled in branches and rattans, and then dumped in mid-air.

For a while, the crying and screaming were connected, and this kind of psychological fear, if it was not for the actual scene, it would not be possible to empathize.

But there was one person who didn't move from beginning to end, which made Lin Miaomiao see hope again.

I saw that he tried his best to feed, and with the strength of his tomahawk, he swung his battle axe and slashed at a branch that stretched out towards him, and the branch was immediately cut off by the waist.

"That's good!" she shouted at the crybaby with a thumbs up, slashing at the vines that were sneaking up from behind, "Come and get closer to me, don't stand still." ”
