54. Poisonous land in the jungle

In the Andes Mountains, when the dry season alternates with the rainy season, a large number of algae and mosses of different types and colors grow on the riverbed, and the river is lined with large patches of alloy flowers, and the small leaves meet in pairs at night, and the small golden flower bulbs are very beautiful in spring and autumn.

Walking along the road for a few kilometers to the north, the scenery along the way is wonderful, but it also contains countless risks, the reason why the road is called 'road' is just a place where people can pass through, most of them are steep cliffs, Mo Lei walked forward for an hour, and slid six or seven times to get out of a road that was enough for him not to be discovered, crunchy rocks, steep hills, and the limbs that had to be lowered when climbing, made him gasp for breath.

He washed himself in the river, and had been walking towards the north for an hour and ten minutes, and the pursuers behind him did not know whether they were still following him, and he knew that there was a path nearby, but the path was very obvious, and it was winding, and it was several times longer than the distance to go out here.

When he climbed a steep slope again, he was startled when he looked at the greenhouse lights that filled the valley with mountains.

Under the faint starlight, there are at least 10,000 marijuana plants grown here, shaded by towering pine trees, and five-foot-tall marijuana plants are arranged in rows, each row about 1.5 meters apart. He understood why there were no pursuers behind him, and probably the other party also knew that this neighborhood was a suitable place for growing marijuana, and there would definitely be armed men to guard it, and escaping in this direction by himself would be tantamount to killing himself.

These cannabis are grown in the fertile soil with steep terrain, and many in dense shrubs, relatively close to the river, which is convenient for the farmers who grow it to irrigate, they bury the irrigation pipes under the soil of the hills, and then build dams to stop the stagnant water, install drip irrigation systems, and use gravity-fed soft water pipes for irrigation, avoiding the adverse consequences of over-irrigation, which is quite a professional project.

Farmers and security guards live in small tents around the area where marijuana is grown, and most of their food is stored in large sacks and hung from branches to prevent black bears from stealing from the area, and the botanical garden is monitored by at least 20 armed men at any given time, 24 hours a day.

They hired people who wouldn't reveal their secrets to deliver supplies, including food, drinking water, fertilizer, and other household items, and every ten days or so, a group of people on expensive mountain bikes would bring them over the steep hills quickly and without making a sound. After the marijuana matures, they transport it in this way, and of course, most of these people are acquaintances and friends, or even corrupt police officers.

Today is really the day when they give and bring goods out of the mountain, Mo Lei is lying behind a protruding boulder on the cliff, just poking out half of his head, what appears in front of him is the scene of a group of people unloading and loading goods, several armed team members holding AK47 around the group of delivery people, unloading and loading the goods are very skillful, a large group of people are constantly moving but the silent scene is indeed a bit weird, which is also the reason why Mo Lei, who is very vigilant all the way, is completely unaware.

Two meters in front of the boulder, a half-grown child in a military uniform was taking the jerky handed over by another similarly dressed man, he should be the sentry responsible for defending Mo Lei's side, just when Mo Lei climbed up, he left a few meters away to get fresh supplies, otherwise Mo Lei would have been found as soon as he emerged.

Mo Lei's vest was cold, and cold sweat broke out.

He knew that there were countless risks hidden in the depths of the mountain, not only from poisonous insects and beasts, but also from illegal militants in the depths of the mountain, but he thought that there would be militants of this scale near Medellin, but he didn't expect that there would be a team nearby, although there were not many people, but he saw that on the edge of the tent, there were at least two machine-gun positions that could form crossfire, and dozens of AK47s, which was fucking fucking too fucked.

It's easy to go uphill and hard to go downhill, everyone who has lived in the mountains knows it, and it's even more difficult to go down the cliff, especially on a starry night, you have to use your toes to explore, to grope for a position that can be used as a fulcrum, your hands can't slip, your body has to be close to the cliff, your head can't be lowered to see, everything depends on perception and luck, which makes Mo Lei a little miserable now.

The half-sized sentry began to walk back, he walked very slowly, stuffing food into his mouth as he went, his calves slowly lifted up and fell to the ground, the faint light immersed his figure in the darkness, Mo Lei couldn't see clearly whether he was because of the rocks on the ground or because of the leg injury.

It's easy to kill him, Mo Lei is fully confident that he will strike a blow, but the consequences of killing him will be very serious, after all, the most feared thing about killing with a knife is that there is no fatal knife, and the slightest movement will lead to the anger of the machine gun and AK47.

He hid his head, carefully stretched out his left leg first and slowly probed, found a concave gap, he put his toes into it first, kicked hard, and then let go of his left hand after confirming that there was no problem, and his right hand continued to hang in the cliff crevice, and slowly retreated like this, every step he took was several times more uncomfortable than going up the mountain.

You also have to worry about accidentally stepping on rocks rolling down the steep slope to make a sound.

Overhead, the sentry walked to the edge of the rock, he stood still where Mo Lei had landed just now, seemed to have eaten the last bite of food in his mouth, rubbed his hands together and rubbed his hands together, his thin body was reflected in the sky with a wide and ill-fitting military uniform, Mo Lei held his breath, supported his body in an unequal triangle with one hand and two legs, and slowly reached out and pulled out a pistol from his waist.

The worst outcome is to be discovered, shoot him yourself, and then jump off a cliff more than 3 meters high, perhaps break a rib or a leg, and then jump into the river and escape. Still, if there are no disgusting crocodiles in this damn shallow water, no other poisons that will keep you from fighting back, and no sucking whirlpools in the seemingly calm waters, .......

The sentry looked around the boulder for half a minute, then turned around and kicked away again, probably to find a place to sit down, after all, within a radius of 100 miles, except for some large-scale encirclement and suppression, no one dared to come over to cause trouble, and everyone's territory was also very clearly divided.

Mo Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and in an instant, the cold sweat on his back soaked his vest.

Put the gun away, gritted his teeth, Mo Lei leaned down step by step, when his toes stepped on the ground, Mo Lei took a long breath, a feeling of powerlessness spread from the top of his head to the center of his feet, the bones of the whole body seemed to fall apart, numbness, itching, soreness, exhaustion and weak......ness, all the negative emotions instantly reflected in the body through the landing of adrenaline.

But the danger is not over.

Going backwards? It's possible that the mercenaries are waiting for them in the back.

Moving forward? There is also a waterfall with a huge drop of about 900 meters in the waterway, so jump down by yourself?

Or swim across a river?

None of them are reliable.

Then go back.

Even if those mercenaries are still waiting for themselves, there is no problem in tearing a hole by themselves, and the means of sneak attack can be used in any way, not to mention that the other party may not expect that they will kill back, after all, only fools and madmen will send people to death.

Remembering that there were a few rosemary plants in the open space next to the cliff, Mo Lei slowly attached himself, groped and pulled out a few leathery leaves, and smeared them on the human center and temples for a while, the strong smell passed from the nose to the brain, driving away fatigue and sleepiness, and making his five senses sensitive.

Once the physical fatigue disappeared, Mo Lei's mind began to think quickly, and he suddenly remembered another path, which required to walk back a few kilometers, and then cross the rugged and difficult mountain road to the direction where he had set the trap during the day, which was very close to the road, and he could rest nearby for a night.

Bending down, Mo Lei continued to keep a low posture and sneaked into the acacia forest, the effect of rosemary disappeared quickly, he was very sleepy, but his mind was very clear. He remembered a few years ago, when he and his brothers had been in a tropical jungle similar to Colombia, the smell of the big cypress tree that smelled of death, the scorching smell of corpses, and the machine-gun fire from the helicopter at night, which ...... like fireworks in the sky.

There was a fishy smell in his nose, and he immediately paused, pistol in his right hand and dagger in his left hand.

Fuck, it's not going to be a blind bear.

The nerves and muscles of the whole body tensed instantly, Mo Lei's steps became light and powerful, and the five fingers holding the knife were released and clenched in turn.

No matter what it is, you have to fight a hundred times more vigorously to deal with it, and you can't make too much movement, and there are countless black holes on the cliff behind you.

It's closer......

It's closer......

A black shadow came into Mo Lei's sight, walking like a human shape, carefully groping forward on the edge of the alloy tree and the river, Mo Lei put away the pistol and rushed out quickly to the side, his right arm stuck the figure's neck, and the dagger on his left hand was against the back of the opponent's heart.

"Shh......h

Mo Lei leaned over and whispered in the man's ear, "If you don't want to die, don't shout ......."
