Before Lan Wanyu had been to Africa, she had always thought that the continent was full of deserts.

And Senegal, where she arrived, is only half of the country with desert Gobi, and the rest is a tropical rainforest with a pleasant climate, from this half to the south to South Africa, which is tens of millions of kilometers away, all countries have rich land, it is difficult to understand, why the civilization and development of the African people are so backward?!

After obtaining approval from Senegal, they embarked on a ship bound for Åland, and severe seasickness swept over her, and she vomited on the boat, and finally survived to the island, and because of the hot climate, mosquitoes were raging and aching.

She didn't dare to tell anyone, for fear that Edward would let her stay in the base camp on the island of Orand, and after a short rest with her unwell, they arrived at the island of Pome.

This island, the mountains formed by the impact of the earth's crust rise from the ground, although it is not high, but the depth is very long, the craggy mountains want to use the sword, always threaten modern people who have lost the ability to climb, plus there are poisonous trees and thorn grass and traps planted by the roof tile tribe for defense, she knows, why is the search and rescue work going so smoothly?

During the day, they shuttled through the woods, and in order to avoid mosquitoes, they had to wrap their whole bodies tightly in such a hot weather, and the clothes on their bodies had never dried.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the beasts, they couldn't change the clothes they wore for a few days, and they had to use the smell of sweat and wet, wet and dry and mixed with the smell to confuse them, and after walking for a day or two, the white shirt on Lan Wanyu's body could no longer see the original color, because every time she fell or slipped, it was either stained with mud or turf, leaves, moss, sewage, etc., and became a ball of mud.

A beautiful little face couldn't make out the original appearance, tanned, dirty, there was no extra water to wash the face and wash it, and it could only endure the mud drying up and clumping on the face, leaving only a pair of black and white eyes flashing.

Edward joked with her, this is the most popular black clay mask nowadays, and when you peel it off when you wash your face after keeping it, her face will be more beautiful than before!

She smiled wryly, this kind of bitterness is really boring.

The next night, Lan Wanyu had a high fever due to fatigue and lack of water, and she had a high fever due to inflammation of her breasts, and she kept screaming cold while sleeping by the fire, Edward touched her rolling, hot forehead, and was shocked into a cold sweat!

There was a doctor in the rescue team, but his box was filled with medicine for the army, which was very valuable, and no one dared to use the medicine that could save the lives of others because of a slight problem. He went over to ask, and the doctor looked at Lan Wanyu's condition and determined that it was a low-grade fever and did not agree to administer the medicine, and Edward could only come back empty-handed.

Changing the towel with the only remaining water to cool her down, but the effect was average, Edward suddenly remembered that he seemed to have the special medicine prepared for him by Fang Zhiqing, because she was worried that his foot injury would recur, and the anti-inflammatory medicine was not strong enough, so he wrapped a few and put them in his watch, so that he could take them to avoid the airport security check and many checkpoints.

Without thinking and hesitating, he smashed the valuable mechanical watch on his wrist, took out an anti-inflammatory medicine from it and gave it to Lan Wanyu, although it was not a symptomatic antipyretics, but anti-inflammatory medicine could also play a role in reducing fever, and then, he continued to apply cold towels to her, feed her water, and the sky gradually brightened, and the heat on her body tended to normal.

Early in the morning, the rescue team got up one after another, sorted out the washing and eating breakfast, and an officer with two stars embroidered on his shoulder came over, unfolded the map in his hand, and studied it with Edward.

Before they came, they gave the Elantra video to the army troops, the army troops stationed in Li City can be called the most advanced marine corps in the country, a unique set of strategic terrain satellites ahead of the world level, the soldiers in the troops are very sensitive to the strategic terrain, and soon made this map according to the terrain pattern of Pomei Island fed back by satellites, which can clearly restore the route traveled by the large army.

It seems that this time they have also found the right place.

After walking for another two days, passing by the valley meadow, the big cave, the underground river and the Feitian Waterfall that they had seen in the video, everyone became more and more excited, as if they saw the hope of victory!

But the further they went, the closer they came to know that they were from the base camp of the roof tiles, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and they searched the woods with their hanging heads, and Elantra had lost contact with them in this place, and the fear of their surroundings only increased, because you did not know when a cold arrow flew from some dark corner and shot you.

A day later, they found that the procession seemed to have lost its way, and came to a totemic circle with many stone sculptures, which were supposed to be used by the roof tile people for sacrifice, and the so-called highland base camp had not been seen a trace so far!

Just as they were about to descend the mountain, they heard several gunshots in the distance, and everyone was startled and hid in the woods under each other's cover.

The platoon commander took Edward and Lan Wanyu to hide behind a boulder, took out his pistol and leaned his back against the boulder, listened to the surroundings in all directions, and gestured with his fingers to the subordinates hiding below.

After receiving the commander's order, those soldiers quickly hid their bodies in the grass, and when they saw a shadow again, they were already dozens of meters away, and they planned to outflank them!

After a while, a group of people ran down the mountain, and the place of worship was surrounded by empty platforms, and there was no place to turn around, and some people hid behind stone statues, holding guns and observing the surrounding situation.

The people who came were wearing steel helmets on their heads, black spears in their hands, black leather jackets on their bodies, and many branches around their waists, because they wore masks on their faces, and only two eyes were exposed.

The platoon commander observed for a while, then turned his face and whispered something to Edward, because he didn't dare to make a loud noise, even Lan Wanyu next to him couldn't hear their voices clearly.

Then, the platoon commander crawled down, like a poisonous scorpion quietly slid his body into the grass, and disappeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, leaving only the two of them, clinging to the boulder, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out!

Because the identity of the other party was unclear, the platoon commander did not give the order to open fire for a long time, but just hid in the dark to observe the movements of the people and horses above.

"These people might be the ones we're looking for!" The platoon commander seems to be young, but he has many years of practical combat experience and is full of confidence in his analysis and judgment.

Edward didn't have such good self-confidence, so he asked why, and the platoon commander told them that if this group of people were roof tiles, and they had already seen them on the mountain, they should have approached quietly and killed them all, and no matter how bad it was, he had to shoot a few people, and he observed that those guns were heavy weapons that could penetrate two hundred meters from a long range. What good would it do them to fire early, and that would only startle the snake and disperse them?

And they didn't chase anymore when they went down to the platform, and it didn't fit the style of a brute tribe that attacks strangers when they see them, they should chase one by one, and the enemy's life is nothing to them, they even dare to eat people, are you afraid that you are dead or alive?

And now, those people have just been in a wait-and-see state, one is on guard, and the other is probably to not hurt the innocent.

Those people, in a state of readiness for battle, are very similar to the cover methods trained by modern armies, except for modern weapons such as firearms, there is no primitive attack weapon that African tribal men do not leave their hands, which is also not conventional.

Besides, with so many people in the large army that rescued before, plus the army to assist, it is impossible to fight those tribesmen who are like stragglers.

Elantra didn't send another video, maybe there was an accident at the time and he couldn't contact them in time, but in the past few days, their people are likely to turn the tide of the battle.

In order to convince Edward, he also took out the compass he had with him, allowing him to see that the compass was now out of order due to the magnetic field, which may also be one of the reasons why Elantra was unable to get in touch with the outside world.

So he thinks he can go out and confirm with the other party!

Edward thought about it and hurriedly volunteered to let him do this negotiation because he was proficient in both Chinese, no matter which side of the person came, he felt that he had no problem in communication, but the platoon commander did not agree very much, because he was afraid that there would be some uncertain factors that would cause Edward to be injured, and shook his head and refused.

Edward pleaded again and again, and the platoon commander finally wavered, and Lan Wanyu, who was extremely worried, retreated to the bushes below, staring closely at Edward's every move.

Lan Wanyu was also watching, her panicked eyes were full of nervousness and concern, she was very afraid that something would happen to Edward, and she would not be able to explain to Sister Zhiqing at that time, and she would be trapped in grief and regret for the rest of her life!

Edward took several deep breaths leaning against the boulder, gestured in front of him the life-saving cross of Jesus, and after some prayer, he puffed himself up to another bush in the same way as the platoon commander gave him, and then stood up with his hands raised, completely non-aggressive and open-minded.

Seeing someone suddenly appear, the other party immediately scolded, drank Edward, and then quickly and professionally approached him with a gun, and pressed the muzzle of the gun against Edward's temple.

Lan Wanyu's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she didn't dare to look at the picture behind her, her eyes were closed tightly, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Don't let her hear the gunshots, don't let her hear the gunshots, it must be your own people......

She cried out and prayed in her heart until a pair of big warm hands were on her shoulders!
