34. He is calm
Following the instructions on the map, the two soon found a nearby jungle zipline company called "JungleFlight".
The company's base is located on a small hill just south of Mae Lampong, just south of the primeval forest, with a view of the giant flag of "JungleFlight" at the top of the mountain.
But the jungle zipline base has apparently been abandoned for a long time, as the road leading to it is completely covered with stumbling weeds and trees, making it difficult to distinguish. It looks like the entire hill is being swallowed up by a huge primeval forest.
Xie Weishi glanced at Fang Chi who was wearing a seat belt, and without saying a word, he stepped on the accelerator and let the off-road vehicle rush up like a wild horse.
Wild vines lurked in front of the car, blocking bushes were knocked down, leafy branches rattled the windshield. The ground is completely covered with vegetation, and it is impossible to see the road at all. I don't know if the road below has collapsed after the heavy rain over the years.
The car was bumpy and bumpy, Fang Chi grabbed the handle on the window, and when he saw Xie Weishi's face like water, and the steering wheel with both hands was firmly gripped, he couldn't help but praise:
"You're driving pretty well."
The car broke through the last few barriers and stopped in front of the base building. Xie Weishi shook his wrist and said a little depressedly: "I haven't touched a car since I came back from the United States in 16 years, and I feel like I can't even grab the steering wheel." The car was written in Thai, so I didn't know what it meant. β
Fang Chi: "...... whatοΌοΌοΌ β
She can now see Xie Wei clearly. This person may not have the word "afraid" in his dictionary at all.
A normal person's thinking might be: "This thing is so scary, I'd better stay away." β
Xie Weishi's train of thought was: "HMMMMM This thing looks so difficult, it's so interesting, I'll try." β
His hands are probably the same as the steady energy he practiced playing e-sports or surgery back then, and now even if he is allowed to fly a plane, his hands will not shake!
Xie Weishi pulled the door of JungleFlight and found that it was made of iron and very solid. Fang Chi was more direct, smashed a glass window, and the two of them climbed in.
The equipment used for the jungle zipline in the base is readily available, and it is all imported from Germany, which is very sophisticated. After leaving it for so long, weeds have grown in the cracks of the walls in the room, and the locks, pulleys, etc., have not rusted, and are neatly arranged there.
The most important thing is that there are military crossbows that they need the most, one by one, lined up and hung on the wall. Below hangs a large bundle of galvanized anti-corrosion wire ropes with steel cores. Fang Chi had an unusual love for military weapons, and he couldn't move his legs when he saw them. was about to reach out to take it, but Xie Weishi grabbed his wrist and dragged him back.
Fang Chi stood firm and looked at it, and gasped.
A long gray-black snake swam down from the rope, with a fan-shaped head and a white film covering its cold eyes.
King Kong Cobra! One of the most venomous king cobras in Thailand!
Fang Chi hurriedly retreated, but the snake had obviously locked its hatred on Fang Chi's body, and quickly swam towards her, its body standing tall and upright, as tall as Fang Chi's people!
At this time, a bamboo pole was thrown over, and Xie Weishi smashed a window opposite her again, shouting, "This way! β
Fang Chi nodded, took the bamboo pole and handed it to the king cobra, and the snake really flew up the pole. When most of the snakes came up, Fang Chi took the bamboo pole and threw it out of the window.
Before leaving, the king cobra opened its mouth fiercely, and Xie Weishi threw out a waterproof coat, blocking between the snake and Fang Chi.
Fang Chi took a hook and flipped over the coat that fell to the ground, and sure enough, when he saw the crystal venom on the smooth fabric, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
Thailand's endemic King Kong cobra is one of the few snakes that can spray venom through the air without biting, and the spray distance can reach up to two meters. The venom is highly toxic and corrosive, and can kill people within minutes. If it weren't for Xie Weishi's quick reaction just now, she might have died here before she even entered MaeLampong.
Fang Chi was about to dispose of this dress, but Xie Weishi stopped her: "Don't move!" β
I saw that he had already sharpened a small slender bamboo tube with a dagger, and carefully poured all the venom into it.
Fang Chi: "......"
Xie Weishi tightly plugged the bamboo pipe with a wooden stopper, wrapped it with the waterproof bag he carried, and said, "This tube can be worth hundreds of grams of gold on the black market, don't waste it so much." β
Fang Chi: "......"
Fang Chi: "You are quite good at running a family!" β
Xie Weishi put the bamboo pipe into his pocket, glanced at her and said, "I'm not like you, a national civil servant, an iron rice bowl." I am a missing person, working as a black worker, without five social insurances and one housing fund, and I can't even enjoy social subsistence. β
Fang Chi: "......" is still reasonable!
After this catastrophe, the two of them became more and more cautious. JungleFlight's base was filled with all kinds of equipment such as wire ropes, safety suits, and safety locks, and loaded into the car.
Xie Weishi drove and Fang Chi planned a route to MaeLampong village based on a satellite map. After arriving at the forest, the two left the car, carried rope gear on their backs, and walked through the rainforest on foot.
The ground is full of fluffy and damp fallen leaves and dead branches, large and small, bright fungi, exuding a fresh and slightly bitter taste. The roots of the phoenix and kapok trees grip the ground like huge footboards, and the leaves of the plantain and alocasia with large umbrella covers shade the debris and sunlight leaking from the green shadows of the sky, and the tips of the dripping leaves are pointing downward, and the water droplets are dripping onto the leaves below.
Both of them are somewhat addicted to such a real and delicious world.
"The real world is already so beautiful, why are people still so keen to simulate a fake world?"
Maandala's initial popularity wasn't because of its imaginative setting, but because of its frighteningly realistic environments. Once you're in Maandala, you'll even think you're in a completely real world if it weren't for the weird Avatars. At Maandala, there is even a whole business unit responsible for simulating and reconstructing the real environment. Tropical rainforest environmental simulation is arguably the most complex model of all.
"People are always afraid of losing things, whether it's people or hometown." Xie Weishi said, "And Teng Hua happens to be one of the paranoids." β
Fang Chi originally wanted to say, you know Teng Hua so well? But when I thought of what Xie Wei said, it was indeed a well-known thing - Teng Hua was a survivor of the earthquake, and his childhood hometown was turned into ruins in the earthquake. And the love of his life was killed in a plane crash over the Atlantic Ocean, and his bones were gone.
What is Maandala? It is the transformation of Mandala, it is a mandala, it is a mandala translated from Chinese, it is the "self", it is a flower and a world, and it is the epitome of prosperity in one palm. Teng Hua has lost what he fears losing the most, but he is trying to leave this world for everyone that will eventually pass away.
She suddenly remembered Sheng Yan again. Thinking of the time when I was chasing the phantom of γγ¨ in "Monopoly",It's like a world away.γ
A qiΔ is an obsession. She is still walking in the world, carrying a new bag, and has a new direction of action, it seems that she should also let go of the past. Even if the phantom of γγ¨ in Monopoly is gone,She still has γγ¨'s Avatar.γ It's also a ray of comfort to see him in the virtual world.
Fang Chi thought, maybe it's time for the Avatar of γγ¨ to return to the cemetery. After all, the Avatar who is alive now is not him.,Only the γγ¨ who walked into the cemetery,It's the real γγ¨γ
β¦β¦
As they walked, they looked for suitable trees to build the rope bridge. According to the electronic map tips carried by Fang Chi, the large trees in this tropical rainforest are mainly dipterocarp species, with an average of more than 30 meters, tall and straight.
Xie Wei suddenly pointed at it: "Look at that tree." β
Fang Chi looked in the direction of his finger, and his eyes lit up.
It was an extremely tall and tall tree with roots in the valley, seventy or eighty meters high. What's even more surprising is that there are several wooden platforms built on this winged tree, with soft ladders hanging from it, and the JungleFlight logo can be seen.
Carrying their gear on their backs, the two climbed up the soft ladder to the highest platform for a panoramic view of the rainforest. When I took a look through the binoculars, I found that there was also a platform built by JungleFlight on a giant sequoia tree 70 meters away!
It seems that JungleFlight had intended to develop this unexplored native forest, but apparently the plan was terminated for some reason. Perhaps the jungle zipline has become unpopular since then, or it may have been resisted by some forces in the village of MaeLampong.
With a platform, it's much easier.
Xie Weishi took the military powerful crossbow, aimed at the giant sequoia with the adjacent wooden platform, pulled the trigger, only to hear a "boom", the sharp arrow pierced the air flow, the meteor ejected out, the wire rope spread quickly, and the long snake generally flew out with the sharp arrow!
The wire rope they hold is lighter and thinner than the rope used by the civilian jungle zipline, which is convenient for flying. For the one-time use of Fang Chi and Xie Weishi, this lightweight wire rope is enough.
Looking through the binoculars, the arrows are embedded deep in the tree.
Fang Chi tugged at the rope, feeling that it was stable. Xie Weishi was still a little uneasy, and frowned: "Is this okay?" β
Fang Chi said: "The range of this crossbow is three hundred meters, and seventy meters is a small meaning. Besides, the arrow is also specially made, and the back of the arrow is full of barbs, which should be enough to bear the weight of one of me. What are you......" she looked at Xie Wei, "It may be difficult." β
Xie Weishi glanced at her deeply, nodded solemnly, and said, "Go ahead." β
Both of them put on their safety suits, Xie Weishi squatted down again, carefully checked the load-bearing rings, safety locks, etc. on Fang Chi's body, and tightened the adjustment buckles on her legs and waist.
Fang Chi said: "No matter how tight it is, I can't breathe." β
Xie Weishi said: "Nonsense, your lungs are long and waist-high?" β
Fang Chi glanced at Xie Weishi.
She stood on the edge of the platform, glanced back at Xie Weishi, and said, "I'm leaving." β
Xie Weishi stood behind her and said lightly, "Let's go." β
Fang Chi snorted, grabbed the buckle, stepped off the platform, stepped into the void, and slid out with a "whoosh".
