Chapter 5: Jungle Escape
"It's me."
Luo Sheng walked quickly to Luo Qing, took off the black cloth bag on her head, and used a scalpel to cut the plastic cable tie tied to her wrist.
"Luo Sheng!?"
Luo Qing looked at Luo Sheng in front of her in surprise and asked, "I heard gunshots, what happened outside?" ā
"Someone has launched a raid here, it's mercenaries, as for what their purpose is, it is not known for the time being."
Luo Sheng handed a bottle of glucose to Luo Qing and said, "Drink half of it, replenish your strength, and then we will escape." ā
"How do you know they're mercenaries?" Zou Jing asked Luo Sheng puzzled.
"Their gear betrays their identity."
Luo Sheng took the glass bottle that Luo Qing handed back, raised his head and drank the remaining half of the glucose solution in the glass bottle, and explained to Zou Jing: "The weapons they use are all modified products, good things that money can't buy.
And the tactical vests on their bodies are also not public standard products, they are hand-sewn by 'tactical tailors', which is not something that special forces will equip. ā
Seeing Luo Sheng holding the glucose he had drunk and drinking it with his head up, Luo Qing's eyes widened.
This is what he has drunk, he can't wipe it and drink it directly!? Isn't this indirectly related to him......
"Hey, why are you drinking what I've drunk?!"
Luo Qing glared at Luo Sheng and asked in an unkind tone, "You obviously have it in your bag, why do you want to drink a bottle with me?" ā
Hearing Luo Qing's questioning, Luo Sheng knew that the other party had misunderstood, and replied, "Even if we can run out of this camp, we don't know how long we have to hide in the jungle to reach the beach."
Even when we get to the beach, we don't know how long it will take to meet passing ships, and in the process, these bottles of glucose are our important survival materials and must be used sparingly.
You may not be able to accept sharing things with others, but you must accept it and get used to it. ā
Luo Sheng didn't drink all the glucose in the bottle, left a quarter, recorked the bottle, put it in his backpack, and after confirming the situation in the warehouse, he said to Luo Qing and Zou Jing: "We can only leave through the window now, and then go directly into the jungle." ā
As for whether he could run out of the jungle safely, Luo Sheng did not say. Because Luo Sheng himself was not sure if he could safely pass through the dense primeval jungle outside the camp.
The jungle has always been a dangerous place; Even if I know some knowledge of survival in the wild, I have never practiced it.
There are many people who know how to survive in the wild, but Bell Grylls is only one.
Luo Sheng turned the muzzle of the Glock 17 pistol, smashed the back window glass of the warehouse with the handle, and then took the lead in drilling through the window and jumping out of the warehouse.
"Doctor Zou!"
At the back window outside the warehouse, after Luo Sheng took Luo Qing off the windowsill, he reached out to answer Zou Jing.
But as soon as Zou Jing climbed onto the windowsill, there was an explosion in the warehouse.
Hit by the blast, Zou Jing fell directly from the windowsill, and a piece of iron cut about ten centimeters was cut on the back of her right calf, and blood quickly gushed out of the wound, staining the trouser legs red.
Zou Jing, who was sitting on the ground, tried to stand up, but the sharp pain from the wound on her calf made Zou Jing just move her leg and inhale the cold air, let alone stand up and run away with Luo Sheng and Luo Qing.
"I can't run away, you guys hurry up!"
Zou Jing rejected Luo Sheng's hand reaching out to her, and shook her head at Luo Sheng.
Despair!
From the look in Zou Jing's eyes looking at him, Luo Sheng saw a look of despair, obviously Zou Jing also knew very well what kind of result was waiting for her if she failed to escape this time.
"Hurry up, or none of us will be able to escape!"
Zou Jing ordered at Luo Sheng, who was still hesitating.
Luo Sheng withdrew his hand, clenched his fists hard, took a deep breath, pulled Luo Qing to turn his head and ran towards the jungle.
"Luo Sheng!"
Zou Jing shouted at Luo Sheng's back, "If you can run out, remember to visit my parents!" ā
"As long as I live, I will take care of the second elder!"
Luo Sheng stopped and took one last look at Zou Jing behind him.
This time, Luo Sheng saw relief and trust in Zou Jing's eyes.
Luo Sheng pulled Luo Qing and continued to run deep into the jungle, but he didn't know how long he ran, but he couldn't hear the gunshots from the "slaughterhouse", so Luo Sheng stopped.
"IāI can't run!"
Luo Qing held the trunk of the tree beside her with her hand and kept panting.
Just now, Luo Qing just cared about being pulled forward by Luo Sheng, Luo Sheng didn't stop, Luo Qing didn't dare to shout to stop, after what happened during this time, Luo Qing didn't want to be arrested and locked up again.
Luo Qing's arms and calves were scratched by the branches and leaves of the vegetation in the jungle, and although these blood marks were not deep, they were very painful.
Since she was a child, Luo Qing has never suffered like this, but at this time, Luo Qing also knew that it was useless to complain, so she could only endure it.
"Give."
Luo Sheng handed a bottle of glucose solution that he had never drunk to Luo Qing and said, "Drink three small sips, don't drink more." ā
Although he felt that Luo Sheng's order that he could only drink three small sips was too stingy, after knowing the value of the bottle of glucose in his hand, Luo Qing did not refute anything, and nodded in agreement.
Luo Sheng didn't drink the remaining bottle of glucose in his backpack, but searched for it on the nearby ground, and soon found an edible sweet grass root on the ground, through which Luo Sheng also roughly determined the location of the island.
"We should be in the Atlantic Ocean now, not far from the country of Phillips."
Luo Sheng wiped the sweet grass root on his body and stuffed it into his mouth.
"How do you know?"
Luo Qing followed Luo Sheng's instructions, drank three small sips of glucose, and returned the bottle to Luo Sheng, curious about how Luo Sheng made a judgment.
"It told me."
Luo Sheng raised the sweet grass root in his hand to Luo Qing, and said very firmly: "This sweet grass root is very regional, and only the climate near the Atlantic Ocean can be suitable for its growth.
Secondly, Dario's human organ smuggling market is mainly in Europe, so his 'slaughterhouse' will not be too far from the market.
Finally, what sent us was a cargo ship, the speed of that kind of cargo ship is generally 12~15 knots, let's calculate its speed of 15 knots, how far can it run in the middle of the night? ā
It's a pity that he doesn't have a map in his hand now, if he can have a map, Luo Sheng can roughly calculate where he is.
It wasn't in the deserted sea, which made Luo Sheng very excited, which meant that there were more possibilities to escape from this island.
"You know a thing or two about survival in the wild?"
Luo Qing looked at Luo Sheng with a radiant look, if the understanding of glucose just now only made him feel that the boy in front of him was different from the rich second generation he knew in the past, then now making a position judgment based on a sweet grass root made Luo Qing feel that Luo Sheng's was not simple, and also made Luo Qing have more hope for escaping from this isolated island.
"What's the use of understanding it, it's useless not to be able to run out of this jungle."
Luo Sheng shook his head, opened the notebook that Zou Jing left for him, and wanted to determine his current location through the map drawn by Zou Jing.
The hurried escape just now allowed himself and Luo Qing to completely deviate from the route on Zou Jing's map.
If you lose your direction in the primeval jungle, you are stepping into hell with one foot.
However, the map that Zou Jing drew in his notebook was only a sketch map, and it was impossible to determine the direction and location through the map.
"It's not easy to know that you're on the Atlantic Ocean with a single root of sweet grass."
A cold, emotionless voice came from Luo Sheng's position at one o'clock, "You can definitely be proud of your knowledge, this idiot of the Blood Axe didn't have such insight as you when you were your age. ā
