Chapter 313: The Dangerous Forest
The Amazon forest in the middle of the night is pitch black, except for the little moonlight shining through the gaps in the leaves and spilling into the bushes.
The campfire in the center of the camp burns wood and emits a fiery red glow, and the animals in the woods are looking for food. Several night watchmen sat together and chatted about the tasks they had carried out before.
"Some time ago, we took on a mission to save people in the Middle East, and it was really chaotic there. We went to fifteen people and killed more than 100 people on the other side before we were able to get the people who were to be saved. I heard that there was an al-Qaeda leader in it. ”
"The Middle East has been in chaos lately, and we don't take on missions there. After this mission, we will take a break for a while. ”
"I hope there won't be any problems with this mission, I heard that half of the military people who came in last time died."
As they spoke, glowing eyes hung from the trees in the woods, looking at the place. However, it seems that because of the fire, the animals did not dare to approach the camp.
Hearing a strange sound in the woods, the mercenaries instantly stood up and walked towards the woods.
"What's going on, what's it?"
"It's fine, it looks like an owl and some other critters."
After noticing that the animals in the trees had escaped, the group sat down again. But at this time, Simba, who was originally lying outside Xu Wenjie's tent, stood up.
I saw its shining eyes staring at the forest, as if there was something inside that attracted it. Simba looked back at Xu Wenjie's tent, then at the night watchman, and instantly rushed out.
"The lion ran into the forest. Do you want to wake everyone up? ”
"It's fine. Don't call everybody. Just pay attention. ”
These people didn't find it strange that Simba had run into the woods. A beast is a beast after all, and even if it is tamed, it is still wild.
However, only ten minutes had passed, and the screams of animals could be heard in the forest.
Hearing this scream, all the night watchmen stood up, guns in their hands in their chests.
"Damn it. Something's going on, something seems wrong. ”
"There's something wrong, it's too close to us. Everybody stay here and don't move, and if anything happens, wake up the sleepers. ”
The men stood on the outskirts of the camp and peered into the forest, but it was too dark to see anything. In this case, they do not dare to enter the forest easily.
The screaming lasted for a few minutes before it ended. Then, in the tense atmosphere of everyone's nerves, Simba suddenly burst out of the woods behind them.
This time. Almost scared a couple of mercenaries into shooting. However, in the light of the fire, they were relieved to find out that it was Simba.
After Simba came back, he lay directly next to Xu Wenjie's tent and continued to nap. After waiting for a few minutes, and finding that there was no screaming from the screams just now, the mercenaries sat down again.
"What's going on?"
One guy pointed to Simba's location and said, "I asked about the smell of blood from the lion just now." The screaming of the animal just now should have been caused by it. ”
"Well, you're saying that it just went out to deal with the beast that wants to get close here?"
"Chances are, or we'll go over and take a look."
"Forget it, don't make any extraneous branches, if there is an accident, it will be very troublesome at that time, and it is likely to delay tomorrow's process, so let's go and see it tomorrow morning."
Several people sat down again, though some would glance at Simba from time to time.
When he got up the next day, Xu Wenjie found that the mercenaries looked at him strangely.
Just as he was wondering, he saw several mercenary leaders come back with some processed animals.
"You've had a good harvest, and you've come back with so much prey in the morning."
Several people looked at Simba with some embarrassment, and then said, "This is not what we killed, but the prey that your lion killed last night." ”
Xu Wenjie was stunned for a moment, and then asked Simba, who told him that an animal approached here last night, but it killed him.
The reason is that the proximity of these animals affects its rest.
After knowing the situation, Xu Wenjie was speechless, these animals were really unlucky. They must have spotted the fire and approached here, but this was definitely a provocation for Simba.
When everyone gets up and learns that Simba had killed the animal that might have caused trouble in the camp last night, they are surprised and have a new understanding of Simba.
With meat, you don't need to eat those fruits for breakfast, and the distance you need to walk in the morning is not short, and if you only have fruit, there may be some problems.
After the campfire in the camp was put in order, everyone put on their packed backpacks and continued on their way.
The next journey was even more difficult, and there were no roads at all in many places, and they needed to clear a road, which directly caused them to move slowly.
"Look, there are a lot of monkeys in the trees!"
Yuris quickly stopped the screaming mercenaries and whispered, "Don't shout, and don't provoke them, or they will cause us trouble." ”
Some of the mercenaries disagreed, and when they were on a mission in the forest, they killed more animals, and there were quite a few monkeys. However, since Yuris said it, they had no choice but to make it up.
However, after walking some way inside, the guys were very glad that they didn't provoke the monkeys in the trees. Because, obviously, they entered the monkey's den, and the trees were full of monkeys along the way.
If they provoke these monkeys at the beginning, they will most likely be attacked by these monkeys. It won't be dangerous, but it will slow them down.
"Stop."
Yuris yelled, and when he saw that everyone had stopped, he ran towards the front.
He picked up the plants with a metal rod and looked at them, shook his head, and said, "Go around from there, you can't walk here." ”
"What's going on?"
Without waiting for Yuris to explain, Jerome, another researcher who came along, explained: "It's poison ivy, although it can't kill people, but after being strained by these rattans, it will be very troublesome." We're in a situation where we can't keep up with the pace of the team if we get injured. ”
Xu Wenjie looked at the plant in front of him, but he didn't see anything special there, just a green vine with many triangular leaves.
As if to make everyone understand the horror of this plant, Yuris slashed some with a knife, and pulled it on the top of the clothes, and then a knife-like cut appeared on the clothes.
At this time, Xu Wenjie realized that those leaves looked like blades.
Everyone followed Yuris, went around to the side, found a forest without such plants, and continued on their way. (To be continued.) )
