Chapter 69: The Rainforest

Kahuzbega National Park is one of the largest national parks in the world, encompassing two extinct volcanoes with a total area of 6,000 square kilometres. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The park has a wide variety of flora, including primeval tropical forests, secondary forests, swamp forests, bamboo forests and subalpine meadows, and the plant communities of the mountains form a beautiful natural world. The lush forests on the hillsides, the vast tropical forests stretching along the volcanoes, and the beautiful native landscape form a treasure trove of natural significance of all world significance.

In addition to more than 2,000 species of plants, there are also as many as 1,000 species of animals here, such as gorillas, wild elephants, antelopes, civets, and squirrels, all of which have been owners of this area since ancient times.

It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1970, but it has not been well protected during the years of war.

In the seventy-fifth year, a road was built through the park, and rest areas were built for tourists. After the armistice in 1998, tourism has flourished and there has been a steady stream of international tourists. But the resurgence of war in 2008 has discouraged tourists.

When he arrived in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a United Nations lowland gorilla conservation organization seized a group of endangered gorillas at customs, and a group of enthusiastic environmentalists insisted on investigating the gorillas' survival here, despite the war.

After dealing with the stationing of Singaporean soldiers, they were placed at the air base near the lake, although there was only a runway and an improvised lighthouse, but with the presence of nearly 30 aircraft, the base was also decent.

The companies that traveled around did not want to buy fighter jets, because fighter jets and warships, including cruise missiles and surface-to-air missiles, were not only expensive, but also sensitive. The traveling company didn't need to deploy these armaments at all, because he didn't need them at all.

Armed helicopters can also be said to serve the battlefield and protect their own security, but those weapons exist purely for large-scale wars.

If you travel around, you can also equip it in the name of Kabila, or in the name of Singapore, and some countries will sell it to him, but it is not necessary at all.

There are ten crosses, and it is enough.

The presence of the Singapore army has brought the number of first-level security guards in the Lake District to 2,000, and the number of second-level security guards here is nearly 500, bringing the number of security guards here to 2,500.

Coupled with a 5,000-strong military camp arranged by the Democratic Republic of Congo nearby, it can be said that the armed forces here are not only comparable to the rebels with rifles and a handful of light howitzers.

His yacht arrived in London, and Paris took the children around London, and Zhou was going to go to London to accompany them, but Annan found him a not-so-troublesome problem and let him stay in the DRC.

During Annan's tenure as Secretary-General of the United Nations, he mediated the civil war in Kenya and brought more than 40 ethnic groups to the negotiating table. Supposedly, this is a good result.

But since the beginning of this year, in the O'Milli Valley in western Kenya, two tribes, the Karen Kin and Keith tribes, have begun to fight again for land. This kind of war between tribes is difficult to reconcile with interests, and their tribes may have fought between them for thousands of years, and hatred has been engraved in their bones.

However, their war is like child's play, because today, in the 21st century, the war between them still uses cold weapons.

That's right, cold weapons, very cold weapons, there is not even a shotgun between the two tribes, their weapons are broadswords, spears, rope nets, trebuchets, and pikes.

Well, this kind of war is child's play. All you need to do is send an all-terrain chariot, twelve team members, and plenty of ammunition, I'm afraid they can wipe out both of their tribes.

But Annan happened to be dealing with business negotiations in Nigeria, and while on vacation, he heard another fight over there. He thought that his face was big, so he hurriedly went over to persuade peace.

However, eleven people from the Kalenkin tribe had died, and they felt that they had suffered a loss, so they refused to stop fighting.

In this case, it is not good to travel around and leave Africa directly, after all, he is his own person, and now he is detained, and he will go to the UK for a vacation, what is it!

The Omeli Valley is located in the western part of Kenya, separated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo by a small country of Uganda, and just over 600 kilometers from Bukavu, where the tour is based.

The key problem is that Zhou You does not have a helicopter in his hand now, and even if he wants to save people, there is no suitable means of transportation. He could only send a rescue team to negotiate the rescue by car.

Gracia also came to the Democratic Republic of the Congo after Annan's accident, and she was the general manager of the development company. Seeing these expedition members, she was also energetic, and wanted to follow these environmental protection team members into the mountain.

When you think about it, you have a base at the door of the mysterious, beautiful Kahuzbega National Park, but you haven't been to play in it yet, which is too much to say!

Let's go into the mountains together.

Located in the equatorial region, it is divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter all year round. With altitudes ranging from a few hundred meters to three thousand meters, the temperature here is also very diverse.

At the lake, at an altitude of about 1,500 meters, the temperature can reach 30 degrees, but when you enter the park, the temperature is 20 degrees all year round, and when you go to the canyon or the Kahuz volcano, the temperature is about 15 degrees all year round, and even a few areas keep the temperature at 10 degrees all year round.

brought a team of heavily armed bodyguards, and Zhou You himself was also fully armed. From anti-mosquito medicines, to automatic rifles, Boleta pistols, various bullets, GPS locators, satellite phones, and even a sextant to prevent electronic devices from failing.

Coupled with warm sleeping bags, hammocks, pots and pans, their team acted like an expeditionary force, ready to be thousands of miles away from home.

The easiest part of the team was Gracia, who wore a pair of skinny jeans, high-top flat sneakers, a long-sleeved shirt with every button tightly buttoned, and a baseball cap on her head.

This kind of dress makes her one-meter-eight tall figure look particularly charming, and several young people in the expedition team members are unconsciously attracted to her and look at her from time to time.

She is so happy with these glances, even she is a little proud of her travels, women are the best decoration for men, and having such a beautiful and capable wife is indeed worthy of his pride.

If Yan Fangqing is here, she will definitely not ask for hardship, she will go hiking in the tropical rainforest, there are all kinds of fierce animals in the mountains, and what is even more terrifying is the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the tropical rainforest. For those who have no experience, it is difficult to get out intact after entering.

If Paris were here, she should not be expected to leave the comfort of her room and go on an adventure, she likes thrills, but what kind of upper-class luxuries do she prefer, suffering is completely unacceptable to her.

They did not follow the road of the park into the mountains, where a large road was built, but it also lost much of its wild interest, and the fun of the primeval forest lies in the thrill and excitement.

Both the faces of Zhou You and the men are coated with realgar and pungent herbal juices, which are essential for defense against snakes and mosquitoes in the tropical rainforest. Although Gracia and the two girls in the expedition team loved beauty, they also knew that now was not the time to pay attention, although they refused to smear those jet-black potions on their faces and necks, but they also covered their faces and necks with silk scarves soaked in medicinal juice.

Naya and a local tour guide took the lead and walked at the front of the line. Naya has never explored here, but his hometown is at the foot of the forests in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, and he is as familiar with the subtropical rainforest as the locals.

He carried a dog-legged knife in his right hand and an alloy trekking pole in his left hand, neither snakes nor dense branches could be an obstacle to their progress.

Zhou You and Gracia walked in the middle of the team, and the two of them and the members of the expedition were also the most relaxed, with loyal bodyguards in front and behind to drive away snakes and insects, and cut off branches in the way, and several of them were as relaxed as an outing.

Exploring this uneven jungle is not as easy as it is on flat ground. From nine o'clock in the morning to almost twelve o'clock, in three hours, they advanced less than six kilometers.

On the way in, Naya cut a narrow path. At first, Zhou You was still excited about the red sandalwood he found, but by the end, he was already numb.

Although the small-leaved red sandalwood does not exist in patches here, there are definitely a lot of them, and the tour even found a red sandalwood tree with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters, which is in China, I don't know how high the price will be.

At half past twelve, they finally arrived at the lowland gorilla habitat under the Kahuz volcano, which is also the destination of the expedition team. They took a shortcut, and although the road was a little more difficult, it was much faster than if they drove there and then detoured.

Next to a small stream, the members of the expedition rested for a while and began to set up camp. Zhou You and the bodyguards set up a stove, set up a bonfire, and began to make lunch.

Everyone except the tour guide was very excited about the experience, exhausted but full of energy.

Gracia holds a camera and takes various photos from time to time, but fortunately the current DSLRs have been changed to digital cameras, otherwise, I don't know how much film would be wasted.

After eating a not sumptuous lunch, they traveled around and parted ways with the members of the scientific expedition. Here, they study the habits of the gorillas, investigate their living conditions, and continue their expedition deep into the rainforest.

The scenery inside the rainforest is indeed fascinating, but the danger is also everywhere, and the most difficult thing is not the African leopard, not the wild wolf, not all kinds of poisonous snakes and pythons, but the ubiquitous mosquitoes.

As long as it is bare skin, it is difficult not to be attacked by them, although the toxicity of these mosquitoes is not large, it will not kill people, but it is extremely uncomfortable, a bite is a big bag, painful and itchy. The leeches, centipedes, and scorpions, as well as the carnivorous marching ants, which are mistaken for man-eating ants, are more difficult to deal with than the larger animals.

However, seeing the beautiful scenery in front of you, everything will not be taken to heart. The various scenery in this primeval rainforest is difficult to see in human society, and this kind of shock can not be experienced on the TV screen at all.

In the evening, they set up camp at the bottom of a cliff. They first leveled a large area of land and then sprinkled realgar powder to prevent the ants from attacking. As for those large animals, because they have guns, they will not take it to heart.

The tents of Zhou You and Gracia are leaning against the edge of the cliff, and the three tents of the bodyguards outside surround their tents in the middle. After packing her luggage, Gracia couldn't wait to take her around. "Honey, let's go bathe in the waterhole......"

Looking at the sparkle in her eyes, Zhou You knew her intentions. couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you afraid that when we are happy, we will be bitten by those mosquitoes and covered with bags?" ”

But she was not less interested, lowered her voice, and said excitedly: "We have already enjoyed it on the sea, in the sky, in the desert, and in the mountains, but in the tropical rainforest, we have not enjoyed it, how can it not be exciting!" ”

Well, Zhou You was immediately convinced.

While it may be dangerous to do this in the rainforest, the thrill is real. Zhou You has now tasted all the tastes of the world, and there are not many things that can attract him now.

Even women are now much less attractive to him. Even Hollywood actresses and domestic actresses are almost flocking to them, peeling off the halo of stars, they are not much different from those ordinary women.

When these thrills of curiosity have disappeared, and he is now more and more responsible for his family, he has shown much more restraint in recent years.

Of course, there is another reason that now it is not that he is picking up a girl, but that a girl is picking him. The richest man in the world, the aura of a star, and the strength of his body, these labels have brought unparalleled temptation to women on Zhou You's body. In the past, traveling around needed to seduce and spend energy to pick up girls, but now they take the initiative to soak him without soaking, so that he can't taste the fun inside.

Several of her own women are not too bad, especially Gracia, there are not many women who can be more beautiful than her, and there are even fewer women who are more capable than her, when these two advantages are combined, her charm is more charming than those stars.

Although her body has no secrets about herself, it is more enjoyable to seek different pleasures between the sexes with her than to adapt to each other with a strange woman.

In the midst of the dense forests, virgin land that has not been tapped for thousands of years, beside the waterholes, Zhou You and Gracia stand knee-high in the water, composing the most beautiful music between men and women.

Attracted by their voices, a macaque unconsciously poked its head out, chirping, and picked up the Boleta 92F at hand, and fired a shot casually.

The bullet hit the branch of the tree where the little monkey was climbing, and the branch broke, and the little monkey fell down at once, and no longer bothered to peek, and fled into the depths of the forest in a hurry.
