Chapter 113: Trouble 1 (Part II)
The equatorial jungle is very different from the Northern Hemisphere, and the island jungle has some strange trees. I don't see the common thick rattan in the northern hemisphere, but there are many thumb-thick and soft tree vines, which seem to be very good rope materials, and some trees have thick thorns, which are daunting, but the island seems to be biologically diverse, I didn't see any traces of animals after walking for so long, I didn't even hear the sound of insects, and the scenery was barely exotic, and the beauty was never talked about. Kerry looked up at the sky, through the leaves of the jungle can see the blue sky, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting all kinds of strange circles of light on the ground, although in the shade, but the sweat on his body still gushes out like a fountain, the mineral water on the island has long been drunk, if he hadn't found a stream on the way, at this time Kerry seriously suspected that he had already died of thirst, as for the rhetoric before departure, he had long since disappeared at this time, he couldn't even keep up with Xia Ruobing's pace, he could only pant and try not to fall behind, Along the way, Sherpa had to pull and pull through several rugged places.
Xia Ruobing's physical fitness is maintained very well, after all, during the training period, Wang Xingguo taught himself how to control his breathing and pace, so that he can save the most effort and go the farthest. Wang Xingguo said that it doesn't matter how fast you go, but how long and how far you walk is, which requires you to be able to distribute your physical energy well.
"BOSS, are you really halfway there?" During the break, Kerry heard that he had walked halfway, and at this time every trace of energy in his body seemed to be drained.
"Hmm...... Judging from the records, it was more than halfway through...... Just cross the floating bridge. Sharjah Jean said.
"What kind of bridge is that?" Kerry's brain is a little deprived of oxygen due to excessive physical exertion.
"Uh...... The record says that the bridge came out of thin air and emerged from the bottom of the water. Sharjah Jean didn't know, after all, most of the manuscripts of the American explorers had been lost, and some of them were only a few words, and Sharjah Jean had studied them for several years, and he was only guessing, but he was sure that the route must be right.
"Let's go, it's less than an hour before the tide highs, and if you miss it, you'll have to wait for tomorrow." Crussell was in a hurry to see the time, and the speed was much slower than Crussell expected. According to his thoughts, this time should have arrived a long time ago, and he blamed Kerry in his heart, if he hadn't been at least 50% faster!
Crussell doesn't like Kerry very much, in fact, he doesn't like academics, in his opinion, academics are inextricably linked to weirdness, paranoia, and artificiality, but some things are so wonderful that you must also get help from the people you despise the most. Kerry has a talent for paleographies that no one else has, and without him, Krussell can't understand the meaning behind those words.
The earth has long been almost developed, and no one wants to stay in the few places that are unsuitable for human habitation, and Crussell certainly doesn't want to! However, as a "veteran employee" of Dick's side, Crussell made a lot of contributions to Dick's antiques, and thus got the opportunity to be Dick's agent. In a way, he's investing - this expedition will take him to a higher position in Dick's antique empire, and it's worth the risk of finding a piece of the Spanish pirate's treasure and getting a piece of the pie......
But this group of people had empty ambitions and ideas, but none of them were explorers, and at this time, Mr. Min found Wang Xingguo, who was exactly the person they needed. Thinking of this, Crussell looked at Wang Xingguo, along the way, he was observing Mr. Min and his team, Crussell judged with his years of experience, Wang Xingguo was their core figure, he felt that his inference was correct, along the way Wang Xingguo tried his best to help them, sometimes a seemingly inadvertent move can make Kerry and Sharjah easily pass through a lot they didn't dare to imagine. Sherpa and Chen Badai, on the other hand, faithfully fulfilled their logistical responsibilities, and almost all the supplies and weight needed by the team were on their shoulders. Xia Ruobing also surprised him a little, he once thought that people who were engaged in research were sports idiots, not to mention endurance, but along the way, this seemingly delicate Loulan expert followed the team without a single step.
"Rest?" Kerry looked at Crossell with a soliciting gaze.
βNOοΌβ Crussell simply rejected his request, he always knew that he was on someone else's turf, and fast in and out was the best way.
"FUCK......" Kerry cursed in a low voice, and he began to regret that he had overestimated himself too much, and that he had to come here to suffer if he had to sleep honestly in his apartment in Seattle.
Wang Xingguo shook his head secretly, from the moment he saw them, he knew that this would not be an easy errand, the trouble had been buried from the beginning of the team, the expedition was not as easy as he said, he tested a lot of people's abilities, the most important thing is willpower and physical fitness, he is not worried about the skills of these people, because this is his scope of work, but if their willpower collapses, and their physical fitness can't keep up, then no one can help them.
"Xia Ruobing, how are you?" After Wang Xingguo helped Sha Jang get up from the ground, he asked Xia Ruobing with concern.
This intensity is basically medium for Xia Ruobing, and it is far from making her tired. Xia Ruobing also saw the depression of the team Ricri and Sharjah Jean, and suddenly had the feeling of palpitations in her heart when she first set off, and when she heard Wang Xingguo ask her, she was stunned for a moment and replied, "I'm fine." β
Regrouped and set off, when Xia Ruobing walked in front of Wang Xingguo, he whispered: "I think there is going to be trouble." β
"Hehe, aren't we here to solve the problem?" Wang Xingguo smiled bitterly.
"No...... I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about other troubles...... It seems that someone ......" Xia Ruobing said in a low voice, but Kerry followed, and it was inconvenient to continue. Xia Ruobing glanced at Wang Xingguo: "You have to be careful." β
"Well, don't get too far away from me." Wang Xingguo said that he felt that Xia Ruobing was the safest to stay by his side.
Hurrying slowly, they finally arrived at the floating bridge that Sharjah Jean said before dark, which seemed to have been split by a knife on the rocks of the island, and Kerry finally walked here, sat on the ground with his ass, and then his spine seemed to be unable to support the weight of his body, and he lay down on the volcanic rock, snorting and panting, and his eyes fixed on the slowly darkening sky.
"Is this it?" Wang Xingguo saw Sharjah Jean holding the tablet, looked at the computer, and looked up at the front of him with an incredible expression.
"According to the line...... It should be...... It is true that there is a canyon that has been split, but ...... What about bridges? Sharjah Jean looked at the gap of more than 30 meters wide in front of him, the tide was already full, but where was the bridge that came out of thin air in the record?
"Crussell, I think we're in trouble." Sharjah Jean confirmed for a long time, and finally confirmed that this was the location of the floating bridge, but the bridge was gone.
βHATοΌοΌβ Crussell almost jumped when he heard the word trouble, and ran to Sharjah Jean in a hurry, whether he was happy or not, and snatched the tablet he had recorded important information: "Are you sure?" Are you 100% sure? β
"I'm sure, but...... It is clearly mentioned in the record that there was a bridge that rose with the tide...... But...... It didn't show up! Sharjah Jean said helplessly.
