Chapter 105: Viper
The most important thing at the moment is to find the hiding place of the bandits, so Chen Pai decided to search the mountain in the center of the island first, and if he can't find it, then spread around.
Stepping on the rotten branches and fallen leaves that have accumulated for I don't know how many years, Lei Yan tightened his collar, waved his hand to drive away the mosquitoes around his ears, put the sniper rifle behind his back, held the Type 92 pistol in his hand, and searched forward with his heart.
The old cannon was right next to him, and the two alternated back-to-back cover.
The island is located in a subtropical region with a humid climate, and the jungle is extremely hot, and the sea breeze does not blow into the jungle due to the lush vegetation.
Especially at night, the humidity is heavier, the branches and grass are full of dew, and there are bursts of dense fog formed by water vapor in the forest, which floats leisurely in front of you, and the scene is very strange and terrifying.
Carrying thirty kilograms of equipment on his back, walking through a patch of grass, Lei Yan's trouser legs were wet with dew, sweat was running down his head, and the clothes between his back and his backpack were soaked with sweat.
Even so, I didn't dare to untie my collar, and there were black mosquitoes the size of a fingernail everywhere, and more unknown insects, these vampires buzzed around their heads, and they liked to burrow into their clothes, and if they didn't want to get into their underwear and get bitten, it would be painful and itchy, and it would be troublesome in case of poisoning.
Waving his hand to drive away the mosquitoes that stopped in front of him, Lei Yan couldn't help but think to himself, fortunately, the oil paint on his body has an insect repellent effect, otherwise the blood on his body would not be enough for these "cute" sucks.
After walking for half a kilometer, there was no abnormality found, except for the lurking sentry that Liang Haodong killed, and no other sentinels were found.
Lift your foot over the trunk of a withered and rotting tree that had fallen in the woods, and the grass in front of it had thinned out a lot, because there was a vine-like plant growing there, growing around the tree, and then hanging down the branches to the ground.
The trunks of several trees in front of me were covered with such vines, many of which hung down from the branches and were covered with green leaves.
Lei Yan and Lao Pao glanced at each other, and walked under a tree, Lei Yan reached out and wanted to tear off the rattan blocking the front, but was pulled by Lao Pao.
"There is a thorn in the heart!" The old cannon plucked the leaves on the vine, and sure enough, the vine was full of spikes, "This thing may be poisonous, don't be stabbed!" ”
Lei Yan nodded, inserted the pistol into the pouch on his thigh, reached out and took the sniper rifle, used the barrel to pick up the rattan in front of him, and then walked forward with a heart.
The old cannon pulled out a military mountain opening knife, opened the way in front, and cut it directly when it touched the thick rattan.
The two walked forward for more than 20 meters, and a vine connecting two tree trunks was horizontally in front of them to block the way, and the old cannon raised his hand to make a knife, and the knife fell in his hand, and the extremely sharp saber instantly cut off the vines.
However, in the next second, the old cannon remained motionless in a slashing posture, frozen in place like a sculpture.
Lei Yan, who was walking behind, was a little puzzled, thinking that he had stepped on something, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Don't move, don't move!" The old cannon reminded with a very strong voice.
"What's wrong?" Lei Yan asked suspiciously.
"There are snakes!" The old cannon pursed his lips and squeezed out two words from between his teeth.
At this time, it was late at night, the moonlight was also blocked by the dense canopy, and the jungle was pitch black, Lei Yan took the night vision device to search carefully around the old cannon, and was stunned to find a yellow, thumb-thick poisonous snake lying on the old cannon's shoulder.
At this moment, he was standing up the head of the snake and spitting out the letter at the side face of the old cannon, when he cut the vine just now, he shook the snake off the branch above his head and fell right on the shoulder.
This snake is not big, about eighty centimeters, but the bright patterns on its body are very eye-catching, as if to tell all enemies who dare to approach that I am highly poisonous.
The most deadly venom is often hidden under the gorgeous appearance, and when he bites it, it is not a question of whether he can live, but when he will die.
Looking at the snake head with an extremely dangerous aura, Lei Yan's scalp tingled for a while, he was sure that as long as the old cannon made a slight movement, the sharp fangs would pierce his flesh like bullets.
What to do? Lei Yan has never caught a snake, he has no experience in this area, and when he encounters a snake during training, he will directly step on it to death, but now it is on the old cannon, how to step on it, even if he uses a knife, he can't guarantee the accuracy, after all, it is too good, what if he cuts it on the old cannon, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that the speed can pass the snake's head quickly.
Helpless, Lei Yan remembered the methods used by foreigners to catch snakes in the wild survival program on TV, and he could only try it now.
This posture can't last long, and he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Taking a deep breath, Lei Yan slowly approached the poisonous snake, and then stretched out his hand to tentatively tease the snake's head to bite himself, at the moment when the snake's head rushed forward, Lei Yan took advantage of the situation to pinch seven inches, pinched the snake's head with his fingers and pinched it hard, crushed the snake's head, and then ripped the poisonous snake off the old cannon's body.
"Whew, it's dangerous!" The old cannon let out a sigh of relief, which was more terrifying than being pointed at the head by the enemy at gunpoint.
"It's okay!" Lei Yan patted him on the shoulder.
"It's fine! You're good at catching snakes. The old cannon moved his stiff body and patted his chest with palpitations.
"This is my first time catching a snake!" Lei Yan shrugged.
Lao Pao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Then my luck is really good." ”
"Haha, let's go, we're already behind!" Lei Yan smiled, greeted the old cannon, and continued to search.
Passing through this vine forest, you can already see the outline of the mountain in front of you, and you will almost reach the bottom of the mountain after walking another five kilometers.
"Heart, we're close to our destination." The old cannon jumped down from a big tree next to him, put away the night vision binoculars, and pointed in the direction ahead to signal Lei Yan to continue to move forward.
Climb over a low mountain bag, and in front of it is a half-man's tall field of wild grass.
Lei Yan stretched out his hand to pick up the grass, stepped in, his body suddenly lowered, and the whole person fell into the grass.
The old cannon behind him grabbed his rucksack and pulled him back with a sudden force.
"What's going on!" The old cannon was taken aback.
"Whew-" Lei Yan let out a sigh of relief, pointed to the grass and said with a palpitation: "It's a swamp inside!" ”
The old cannon looked down and saw that Lei Yan's military boots and legs were covered with muddy water, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, who would have thought that there would be a bottomless swamp under such dense grass.
Fortunately, the two of them are close, otherwise it will be dangerous, this has accumulated a swamp for hundreds of years, I don't know how deep it is, once you fall into it, you will disappear in an instant, and you can't save it.
The two of them looked left and right, this swamp is not long, only about thirty meters, and there is no other way but to bypass it.
Along the edge of the swamp, the two of them had just taken two steps, and there was a slight noise in the grass on the right side, Lei Yan turned around instantly, knelt on one knee, opened the safe, and pointed the muzzle of the gun directly at the location where the sound came from, from hearing the sound to locking on the target, the whole process was only 1.5 seconds, Lei Yan's sniper posture had initially formed muscle memory.
