Chapter 397: Jungle Hell
By the time they got ready, it was getting dark.
Gao Yang was fully mentally prepared, but when he actually entered the rainforest, he found that the harshness of the rainforest environment was still beyond his imagination.
Tall trees cover the sky, and the sun can't reach the ground at all, so the temperature in the rainforest is not too high, especially at night, the temperature in the rainforest can still make people feel a little cool, but the problem is that the humidity in the rainforest is too high.
In the dry season, the hot winds from the Sahara Desert can make the temperature soar to more than 40 degrees, and in extreme cases, it can reach 50 degrees, but this heat is dry heat, even if the temperature is high, as long as you hide in a shady place, it can still be tolerated.
In the rainforest, the temperature of the canopy may be as high as 40 degrees, but the temperature on the ground is 323 degrees, but the extreme humidity and high temperature form the commonly known sauna day.
Gao Yang carried a shotgun plus 120 shotguns, six offensive grenades, and his Satanic Blade plus 100 rounds of ammunition, plus a pistol and a mortar shell for Tomi, plus an axe that he would never leave during the battle, and he had almost 20 kilograms of weapons on his body alone, plus a bulletproof vest and helmet, electronic equipment and drinking water, Gao Yang had almost 35 kilograms on his back.
Carrying a weight of thirty-five kilograms on his back, Gao Yang walked into the rainforest for 500 meters at best, his clothes soaked with sweat, and his physical exertion was faster than his most pessimistic predictions.
The reason why Gao Yang chose to set off when it was almost dark. Instead of resting all night and waiting until dawn. In order to seize the time to get used to it.
Depart from the camp in Parano. Arriving at Troduo's camp was almost forty kilometers in a straight line, and Gao Yang felt that it would take forty hours, that is, two nights and one day, even on foot and a short rest, to get there.
With night vision equipment, launching a night attack is an inevitable choice, and Gao Yang feels that there is an extra twelve hours of time to spare. If you set out later, after forty-eight hours, you will arrive near the camp in Troduo at night, so you can get an extra night to get used to it if you leave immediately in the evening, and the camp in Perano is relatively safe near the camp, and even if you are not familiar with the rainforest environment, even if you make a few mistakes, it will not be too serious.
The wish is good, but the reality has given Gao Yang a blow to the head, he thought that he could reach his destination in forty-eight hours, but the reality is that it would be quite good if they could arrive in one hundred and forty-eight hours.
Not long after entering the rainforest, it was completely dark. And it's black that you can't see your fingers, so if you want to hurry. Either turn on the headlights or turn on the night vision devices, but the problem is that their five guides don't have night vision devices, so Gao Yang simply ordered to turn on the headlights, but after turning on the headlights, mosquitoes and all kinds of flying insects surrounded the world, Gao Yang sprayed a bottle of mosquito repellent water almost finished, and he couldn't drive the mosquitoes away from his side.
Also, Gao Yang originally planned to send two spearheads, but he quickly dispelled this idea, the ground of the rainforest was overgrown with all kinds of vines, and there were blades of grass with sharp jagged teeth, and if you wanted to move forward, you had to use a machete to make a way out, and if you sent two spears in different directions, you had to open two paths.
Helplessly, only one soldier was left, Li Jinfang, who was walking in the front, and a guide took turns to open the way with a machete, but after half an hour, the guide who opened the road would come back to rest, and another guide would take the top, but Li Jinfang did the same amount of work, but he could only insist alone.
In addition, although Li Jinfang is a spearhead, the distance cannot be stretched to a hundred meters at all, because it is impossible to move forward in a straight line in the rainforest, and all kinds of obstacles make people have to zigzag forward, and as long as they are twenty or thirty meters away, Li Jinfang will not be seen at all.
Gao Yang tried to test, or practiced, when Li Jinfang gave a warning, and then Gao Yang and they immediately turned off their headlights, switched to night vision devices, and then quickly moved closer to Li Jinfang, which took half an hour.
The road was not straight, and there was a small road in the dense vegetation that was not a road at all, although Gao Yang and they could keep in touch with Li Jinfang by radio, they couldn't distinguish the direction where Li Jinfang was, nor could they distinguish the road Li Jinfang and they had just walked, so Li Jinfang raised them after the warning and ran around like a headless fly.
When Li Jinfang was the vanguard, it became an unattainable goal to keep a distance of 100 meters from the large army, and after verification, Gao Yang found that Li Jinfang was the vanguard at night, and the best distance between him and the large army was between 20 meters and 30 meters, and no matter how far away, it would be meaningless.
A lot of sweat, Gao Yang drank all the water in just an hour after entering the rainforest, the clothes stuck to his body, the mosquitoes all over the place, and the extremely rapid physical exertion, these factors made Gao Yang, who had planned to travel for six hours, give up this plan.
"Stop! everybody is moving closer to me. ”
After shouting weakly, Gao Yang stood in place panting, everyone gathered around him one after another, everyone's clothes were tried through, snorting and panting, Gao Yang beckoned Tommy and Grolev with a headlamp, the two of them were the oldest, and the weight was about forty kilograms, Gao Yang was most worried about the physical strength of the two of them.
"Big dog, worker bee, how are you two doing, can you hold on?"
Grolev nodded and said: "It's not a big problem now, but it's not easy to say after a long time." ”
Tommy said in a deep voice, "I'm feeling a little struggling, but I'm still able to cope with it if I slow down a little." ”
Gao Yang was not surprised by Grolev and Tommy's answers, his stamina was the best in the Satan mercenary group, but he also felt a little overwhelmed now, let alone two people who were nearly fifty years old.
Cui Bo exhaled and said, "We've walked ten kilometers, right? ”
Gao Yang took out the GPS, checked it, and said with a wry smile: "Guys, we have walked 2.7 kilometers now, a straight-line distance, only 1.2 kilometers." ”
Cui Bo was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said dumbfounded: "What! It's been more than two hours since you walked this little way? It's too exaggerated...... Phew, phew, a moth got in his mouth. ”
Gao Yang also felt that it was too exaggerated, they walked for two hours and fifteen minutes, although the speed was indeed slower, but they only walked 2.7 kilometers, which was also too exaggerated, Gao Yang estimated that it was only right to walk out of five kilometers.
Grolev waved his hand to chase away the mosquitoes in front of him, and said urgently: "It's normal, our speed is actually very fast, damn it, the rainforest here is not the same as the Congolese one, there are more vines here, and they are denser." ”
The five guides also gathered around Gao Yang, four men and one woman, the leader was called Kemp, but the person in charge of communicating with Gao Yang and them was a female warrior named Lucica, compared to Gao Yang's embarrassment, the five guides who had adapted to the rainforest climate were much better, although they would also be hot and sweaty, but after they had adapted to this climate, they would not find it as unbearable as Gao Yang.
Gao Yang originally planned to act according to the plan and schedule he had set, but now that he had changed his mind, he would not do such stupid things as a layman leading an insider, and even more so insisting on his obviously inright plan for the sake of so-called dignity.
Gao Yang nodded at Lucika and said, "Lucica, should we move on or rest in place?"
Lucica said coldly, "Rest." ”
Gao Yang shook his head helplessly and said, "So, should we camp on the spot, or will we rest for one night and set off tomorrow?"
"Set up camp and set out at dawn. ”
Lucica is honestly very beautiful, chocolate complexion, almost six or seven meters tall, although she is wearing a fat green military uniform, but it is difficult to hide her delicate figure, appearance, according to the lofty Asian aesthetics, but Fry and Bruce said that Lucica's face is very beautiful, but unfortunately, this woman is too cold.
Of the five guides, Lucica is the only one who can speak English, but she will never say a word more, and she will always take the initiative to say a few words to Gao Yang when Gao Yang asks something, or when Camp has something she needs to convey to Gao Yang, but only for the content to be translated, she will never say a single superfluous word.
In fact, not only Lucica spoke very little, but the other four guides also spoke very little, not only because of the language barrier, but also because the guides didn't talk to each other, and everyone looked indifferent.
Gao Yang nodded, and said to the people of the Satan Mercenary Group: "Okay, everyone heard what she said, now we are camping, and we take turns to be on duty at night, one hour per person, big dog, you are on the first shift, worker bees, you are the second, okay, now everyone is looking for a suitable place to tie up a hammock." ”
"Wait. ”
Lucica took the rare initiative to speak, Gao Yang turned to look at Lucica, and said, "What's wrong?"
Lucica pointed to her neck, then to the few of them, and said coldly, "Locust." ”
Gao Yang stretched out his hand and touched his neck, and at this time, Cui Bo suddenly said loudly: "Ciao, locusts!
Gao Yang glanced at the neck of Grolev, which was closest to him, and found that there were at least four or five locusts on the back of his neck that had been full of blood.
Gao Yang is not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he is the most afraid of things like drought locusts and leeches, while imagining what it will be like on his neck, Gao Yang immediately said urgently: "Take the cigarette, take the lighter, quick, fast!" (to be continued......)
