When Lin Dong took the Dragon Soul to meet Lin Xia, the client of this mission, the other party had been waiting for several days.

After all, Lin Dong and they rushed all the way from eastern Africa to the central part of Africa, spanning thousands of miles, crossing mountains and mountains along the way, and it was not easy to arrive in such a short time.

"You're finally here!"

After seeing Lin Dong and them, Lin Xia's first sentence was this sentence.

"We don't have much time, and I haven't heard from the expedition team for a long time. The last time I got the news was three days ago.

So now they are probably in extreme danger and we need to go into the jungle right away to rescue them! ”

Lin Dong has no opinion on this.

"I'll go with you on this operation, I've already found a guide, and since you've arrived, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Lin Dong frowned, the guide's words are no problem, they really need a guide who is familiar with the jungle. But with Lin Xia, this is a bit troublesome.

However, Lin Dong's opinion was obviously not agreed by the other party, and in the end, under Lin Xia's resolute request, Lin Dong still agreed to accompany her.

Whoever makes the other party the one who pays for it, they only need to be responsible for protection and rescue, and the rest is still at the behest of the client.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the system has released a new mercenary mission - Jungle Rescue."

"Rescued the Chinese scientific expedition team trapped in the tropical rainforest of the Congo Basin in Africa."

"Task Publisher: Lin Xia."

"Judging by the difficulty, this task is an S-level mission."

"Mission goal: to ensure the safety of the lives of Professor Lin Zhongchen and others in the scientific expedition team."

"Quest Reward - Summoned once by a random group member."

"Since the task level reaches the S level, additional rewards will be issued after the task is completed, and the rewards are subject to the system's judgment."

"Realistic mission commission, $3 million."

Listening to the task prompt sound of the assistant in his ears, Lin Dong was suddenly overjoyed.

To his surprise, the reward for this mission turned out to be a summoning opportunity for the team members, which means that their Dragon Soul will add another system member in the near future.

The members summoned by the system are stronger than those recruited in the real world, so the strength of the dragon soul will be strengthened again.

And more importantly, the plan in Lin Dong's mind to form an elite team again can be put on the agenda.

At that time, Lin Dong and his four summoning team members formed a team, and the other team Lin Dong was ready to recruit local members, and at the same time, it would be handed over to Ben to lead, plus Morris, who had been practicing hard, to form the second elite team of Dragon Soul.

Shaking his head and putting these plans aside for a while, Lin Dong focused his attention on this mission.

Because it was already afternoon, and the time for action was set for tomorrow morning, Lin Dong and the others still had a full night's rest.

During this time, they can sleep well and recover from the fatigue caused by the long journey.

Their operation began with a boat down the river and then landed at a bay fifty kilometers away. That's where the last of the Congolese jungles gathered, and from there they would go straight into the jungle in search of the expedition.

The expedition team was carrying positioning equipment, and although it was no longer possible to receive accurate information, the location where they disappeared could still be found.

When the time comes, they will go to the place where the message was last delivered and see if they can find any clues.

This mission is destined to not be simple, after all, if they can't receive the other party's message, then their behavior this time is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

In such a large jungle, let alone such a few people, it is an army of 1,000 people, and there is not a single bubble in it.

The next day, Lin Dong and the others met up with Lin Xia early in the morning, took all the things they had prepared, and drove out of Kananga City.

They need to drive themselves to the dock, and then the guide hired by Lin Xia will come by boat to pick them up and cross the river.

When Lin Dong and the others spent more than an hour coming to the so-called dock, everything in front of them made Lin Dong and the others a little speechless. Because there is no sign of people on the dock.

In front of them was a river about forty meters wide. It's already part of the jungle, and as far as the eye can see, it's surrounded by tall trees.

This is the upper layer of the tropical rainforest tree, these trees are generally more than 30 meters high, mostly typical tropical evergreen trees and deciduous broad-leaved trees, the bark is light, thin and smooth, the base often has tabular roots, and the old trunk can grow flower branches.

The entire Congo jungle is home to more than 10,000 species of plants, more than 400 species of mammals, more than 1,000 species of birds, and more than 200 species of reptiles. The great forest here is known as one of the largest gene pools of species on Earth.

And this indicates that they will face many unknown threats.

Marsh crocodiles, rainforest pythons, rock pythons, leopards and other predators. There are also a wide variety of poisons, such as various poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, vampire bats, some small poisonous mosquitoes and poisonous insects, and so on. It can be said that there are deadly dangers everywhere, and if a person with no experience in the jungle is here, I am afraid that he will not survive even a day.

Lin Dong and a group of six people stood on this dock that was too small to wait for the people who came to meet them.

At this time, Lin Dong put away all their weapons, except for pistols and jungle knives, other things such as automatic rifles and light machine guns were all put in their backpacks.

After all, they still haven't entered the jungle yet, and there are a lot of ordinary people living in the place where they are going next, and if they are fully armed, it is easy to misunderstand.

After waiting for almost an hour, a dilapidated fishing boat staggered over the river.

When the boat docked, a short middle-aged black man with a height of about 1.6 meters jumped off the boat. This was their guide this time, a Bantu man named Baru.

The main ethnic groups in Vajra are the Bantu, the Sultans and the Pygmies.

Among them, the Bantu people are the largest ethnic group in Africa, mainly living in equatorial Africa and southern African countries. Bantu is the abbreviation of Bantu Negro people, a collective name for the people of the Bantu language family in the southern half of Africa.

They were originally from the upper reaches of the Nile, and then gradually dispersed southward, and absorbed some of the Pygmies who originally inhabited tropical forest areas, including the Fang, Douala, Banyalujuda, Burundian, Jikuyu, Baganda, and Nioro.

And the pygmies in this group refer to those ethnic groups whose average male height is less than 5 feet. The reason why the guide named Balu that Lin Xia found was so short was because he had some Pygmy blood.
