Chapter 69—The Island at 30 Degrees South (4)

(Demon Shao: There have been a lot of things at home in the past few days, and I haven't been on the Internet and haven't had time to write, so I've delayed the update, and I'm very sorry here)

In this world, there are many things that exist just for reason.

Take China as an example, with its 5,000-year-old civilization, it has left countless traditions during this period, and whether from the perspective of modern people, whether these traditions no longer meet the standards of the times, or even seem unreasonable, or that sentence, they can exist, there must be a reason.

Take the Qingming Festival as an example, the annual memorial to the deceased is a reminder to the living to be filial and to bear the obligation to support the elderly. After death, the good go to heaven and the evil go to hell, which is of course a feudal superstitious idea, but objectively, this feudal superstition has also formed a moral binding force, and has formed a "positive energy" in society to do more good things and less evil things, so that those corrupt officials and corrupt people will at least have a bottom limit when doing things, because of their weak hearts, and they will not be crazy to the peak, and there will be people or things such as "Director Hongdou" and "My father is Li Gang".

In the same way, although the ancients did not understand anything about geocentric magnetic fields, brain waves, hypnosis and the like, but through long-term life practice observation, they will find that wearing jade, dzi, opal and other things can increase the body's "resistance" to a special environment, so they will gradually develop jade can be evil, peach wood sword can calm the house, dzi can solve spells, and opal can prevent disasters for the owner.

In fact, this principle is similar to the fact that engineers can protect themselves from radiation by using lead protective clothing to contact nuclear materials.

……

Shi Shaoying stared at the various "evil suppression" things worn on his slanted eyes, and with a wave of his big hand, he directly came to fight the local tyrants and divide the fields, "Disassemble all of your guys, whether it is an opal, a peachwood sword, or an old dzi, at least one piece per person in our team!" ”

Under the gaze of squinting eyes and wanting to cry without tears, he spent countless efforts to collect, even when he was the poorest, almost took off his pants to become a duck, he did not sell the talisman treasures, was dismantled into a pile in a hurry, as the captain, Shi Shaoying did not shy to strike first, took away a cat's eye, a dzi, a pocket mahogany sword, a tortoiseshell. The bottle of pocket holy water was too little, and there were not enough containers, it seemed that there was no way to distribute it, Shi Shao raised his head and opened his mouth, and in front of his slanted eyes, he dropped a grain of holy water from the Vatican onto the tip of his tongue, and then rolled his tongue, swallowed it completely into his stomach, and finally tasted it a few times.

Seeing this scene, the squint clenched his fists, Nima's is holy water, not wine, what's the matter with your "this thing doesn't taste good"?!

Moreover, everyone else is reluctant to share one "exorcism" item, and what is the matter with one of you taking four of them, is this also the captain's prerogative?

Squint was still slandering in his heart, so he saw Shi Shaoying stretch out his big hand and pick out an opal, dzi stone, pocket mahogany sword, tortoiseshell "four-piece set", and handed them over to Slanting Eye together. Although these things are all my own, I don't know why, looking at Shi Shaoying's face, the squint eyes that have always been in the role of soy sauce in this team, suddenly have the urge to cry.

"It's too weird here, it's beyond our usual training range, and in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, you squint and walk at the front to lead the team. Rest assured, I'll be standing behind you and protecting your personal safety. Shi Shaoying patted his slanted shoulders and said seriously: "This is your domain and your stage, from this moment on, you are the captain and can give any order to anyone!" ”

Lying groove mud horse. Have you ever seen the captain of a special forces unit go to the front when he advances through the jungle?!

Squinted eyes wanted to complain, wanted to excuse themselves, wanted to protest, and even wanted to punch Shi Shaoying in the chin, and then kick him hard after knocking him down, so that this girl's eternal life would not be able to transcend. But when he set his eyes on Shi Shaoying's face, his slanted eyes were stunned.

He saw the firmness of a few cents of gold and gravel in Shi Shaoying's eyes, and he also saw the ...... that he had never touched in his life Trust!

Shi Shaoying really believes that he can lead everyone to rush out of this strange place alive, once the front squint is in danger, Shi Shaoying, who has put down the responsibility of the captain and temporarily becomes a professional bodyguard, will be desperate to protect the squint, even if it is to gamble with his life, he will not hesitate.

The words that had rushed to his mouth could no longer be spoken, and he was silent for a long time with squinted eyes and suddenly smiled, "Boss, you have to be careful to protect me, don't let me hang up." ”

Shi Shaoying responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I am a competent bodyguard, before completing the task, if I really encounter danger, I will definitely die in front of you!" ”

Shi Shaoying's voice was not high, but those who were familiar with him understood the weight of this declaration.

All the team members gathered in front of the new captain, squinted at these familiar faces in front of them, and couldn't help but glance at Shi Shaoying again, until this moment, squinted eyes, who had lived in this world for more than forty years, really understood the meaning of the word "responsibility".

He wants to live, and he wants to live with these teammates who have not been together for a long time, but can share honor and disgrace! If you want everyone to work together to survive, you must first face everyone with an honest attitude and let everyone know what is happening around them.

"I know that no matter how calm you are, everyone is panicking."

"As soon as we set foot on this small island, we encountered a series of incredible things, and human beings are naturally afraid of the unknown, which is normal and nothing to be ashamed of. ”

Squint has never been a leader, and of course he will not be proficient in the art of leadership, but at this moment, he speaks what he thinks and says in his heart, and naturally has a kind of sincerity, so that everyone can't help but listen to his words.

"If I had to sum up everything in front of us, I would say that this small island is at 30 degrees south latitude, and one corresponds to 30 degrees north latitude, hiding the latitude of the most unsolved puzzles and incredible phenomena of mankind."

The ancient grottoes in Anhui Province, which made the slanted eyes forever give up the profession of "touching the gold school captain", are on the 30th parallel north latitude. After squinting his eyes and checking the relevant information, he learned that the mysterious grotto, although it was so strange that he felt chills all over his body when he recalled it, but compared with other phenomena that appeared at 30 degrees north latitude, it was really only a small thing.

30 degrees north latitude is just a thin line of latitude on the globe, but it runs through the four ancient civilizations of mankind. If this is still an accident, then the legend of Atlantis, which originally existed on the earth's territory but sank into the sea for unknown reasons, the famous Egyptian pyramids, the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, the world's highest Mount Everest, the leaning tower of Pisa that has not fallen for thousands of years, the Mayan civilization that has disappeared from the long river of human history but left countless brilliant brilliance, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the mystery of the Sphinx and other historical mysteries all occurred at 30 degrees north latitude of the earth.

The squint and his party didn't even know the name of the 30 degrees north latitude, so they dared to break into the ancient grottoes located at the same latitude to rob the tomb, it can be said that they hit the muzzle of the gun headlong, and they died unjustly.

On Earth, the most mysterious 30 degrees north latitude corresponds to the 30 degrees south latitude, which also has too many puzzles.

At 30 degrees south latitude, there are the cursed ruins of South Martel, the city of Machu Picchu built with alien fire, and hundreds of huge stone statues, looking at the "Easter Island" in a certain direction, scientists are now unable to explain how those huge stone statues carved from volcanic stone with a history of 2,000 years were carved by humans at that time to transport raw materials to the island and how they were carved. A scientist once joked that if he wanted to complete that series of work, he would not have invented the helicopter 2,200 years ago.

The stone statues, which are more than 20 meters tall and 5 or 6 meters highest, are lined up like soldiers on the beach of Easter Island, looking in the same direction, no one knows what the meaning is, and some scientists have deduced that these stone statues themselves represent devices similar to radar antennas, which can continuously transmit signals to a certain location in the depths of the universe.

The most incredible thing for the squint is that the stone statue in front of them, in terms of material and carving process, is the same as the stone statue on Easter Island. Whether this stone statue was carved on the island in the first place, or whether it was transported to the island by someone with a heart in recent decades, the meaning behind it makes squint shiver.

It is foreseeable that their biggest enemies on this island are not the teams with automatic rifles, but the various natural phenomena on the island that are extremely strange and coexist with natural phenomena. If they were not careful, they could die like the Japanese soldiers who landed on the island during World War II, and they would die an inexplicable death.

"Bring the amulets that were given to you, and don't panic whatever you see, and don't leave the group at will. Remember, you must never let your teammates out of your sight, and if you see someone next to you in a trance and behaving abnormally, immediately restrain the opponent's body and shout his name in your ear. If that doesn't get your teammates back to normal, you can ask me for help. ”

In front of everyone, Squint took out a first-aid kit, reached out and stroked the first-aid kit with charms painted on the outside, the expression on Squint's face didn't know whether it was sadness or happiness, or both.

In the eternal maze, he was too stimulated, and was awakened by the past in his sleep again and again, in order to have a peace of mind, he squinted and looked for a lot of medical information, wanting to know what happened to those "partners", and he finally came to a conclusion...... Whatever the method at work, that subterranean island has a special "ability" to cause people to have a temporary mental disorder.

Therefore, in addition to those evil items, this first-aid kit that is always carried with you also includes oral diazepam tablets that can prevent and treat transient mental disorders, and chlorpromazine, a drug that can be injected intramuscularly.

Whether these things can resist the mysterious power of the underground island Squint has not been tested, he just wants to use these drugs to get a psychological comfort, he really did not expect that even if he left China, he would be able to step on a small island at 30 degrees south latitude by mistake, and once again face a strange power beyond the scope of human current science can explain.

The squint eye will never leave the first aid kit in his hand for many years, and the medicine is always changed regularly, so it never expires, and it is cherished and handed over to Shi Shaoying. If there is only one person in their entire team who can resist the mysterious power that may exist on the island with his strength, Squint will definitely not hesitate to identify that this person is Shi Shaoying!

After the team was reorganized, Squint Eye, who temporarily held the position of captain, led the way to the depths of the island, followed by Shi Shaoying, and the two formed the sharp knives of the whole team, responsible for opening the way and probing, while the swordsman followed the back of the team, becoming their rearguard and supervising the entire team.

The reason for this setting is that the swordsman suffered from autism when he was a child and was extremely slow to respond to the outside world, in other words, even if there was any radiation or magnetic field on the island that could affect the human mind, it would probably not be possible for the swordsman to have an effect at all because of the wrong band.

The whole group slowly walked through the pristine rainforest.

The undulation of the island is not too abrupt, the mountains and mountains are densely covered with all kinds of tropical plants, the most of which are tall eucalyptus, but also oaks, palms, pines, cedars, etc., these trees have colorful leaves, the sun shines on them, like neon lights, the heat is steaming and the mist is rolling, and the plant world above them is shrouded in a dreamlike texture. In addition, all kinds of tree vines around them rely on the trees and snakes to coil up, blooming like stars and lights along the way, which makes the jungle where they are located look charming and enchanting.

Take a deep breath and in the humid air, the freshness of the vegetation and the fragrance of flowers, coupled with the air waves formed by the decay of the leaves, form the most primitive rhythm of nature.

If this was not a battlefield, and there was no too weird body leaning forward, and they didn't see the stone statue and the corpses of Japanese soldiers, Shi Shaoying and they would definitely be amazed by the scenery in front of them.

Shi Shaoying suddenly whispered, "Stop." ”

Shi Shaoying stepped over his slanted eyes, pulled out the fighting saber on his body, gently picked up a leaf that was stopped in front of them, carefully observed it for a long time, and finally warned the whole team: "This is the 'turtle thorn tree', its whole body is covered with this kind of prickly hair, you must not underestimate it, once it is stabbed, the body will be painful for six months, no matter how clever the doctor is, there is no way to relieve this pain, of course, if you are happy, you can also cut off the flesh that was stabbed." ”

Hearing Shi Shaoying's explanation, everyone's eyes widened, and they firmly remembered the form of the turtle thorn tree in their hearts, believing that no one would like to have a pain on their body for six months or cut off a piece of flesh on their body.

After leading everyone around a few turtle thorn trees side by side, Shi Shaoying let out a long breath softly.

Shi Shaoying saw a huge palm tree that was at least fifty meters tall and about five or six meters thick. The sight of such a giant tree in the rainforest does not require special amazement, but under this tree, two corpses lay down.

The difference between these two corpses and the one they first found was that the muscles on their bodies were not completely decomposed, judging from the excessively distorted shape of the muscles on their faces, they must have gone through the most intense and painful struggle before dying, and on their bodies, they could see scratches that were estimated to be deep at that time, even though the muscles had lost their moisture and became like air-dried orange peels, they still turned outward, and looked indescribably shocking.

After carefully looking at the huge palm tree in front of him again, which didn't seem to have anything abnormal, Shi Shaoying's face suddenly changed greatly, and he retreated a few steps backwards like a snake and scorpion.

Shi Shaoying finally understood why the expressions on the faces of these two Japanese soldiers during World War II were so painful before they died.

This palm tree has very long leaves, and it responds to external stimuli, if a human or animal accidentally touches its leaves, the leaves will directly hook on clothing or skin, and if you try to get rid of it, the tighter the leaves, and even more leaves may be wrapped together, and your whole body will be completely hooked. Once you are caught in the leaves of this tree, the most sensible way is to stop immediately, wait quietly for a while, and then use as gently as possible to "please" the leaves from yourself. Because of such a strange property, this palm tree also has a rather interesting name called "please wait a minute".

Looking at the palm tree in front of him that was more than 50 meters high and five or six meters thick, with lush branches and leaves, and then looked at the two corpses that had fallen on its ground, Shi Shaoying's eyes had naturally emerged in front of his eyes a scene that had happened decades ago: The Japanese soldiers were forced to shoot and resist while retreating in a near-rout manner, trying to escape from the island. As a result, one of the soldiers crashed headlong into the seemingly harmless leaves in the process of escaping, and immediately surrounded and tightly entangled the leaves. The soldier screamed in pain and cried for help, and a soldier who had a good relationship with him rushed up to rescue him, only to throw himself into the arms of the leaves.

The two of them struggled under the painful stimulus, but as a result, more leaves were wrapped up, the muscles of their bodies were cut into sheets, and blood kept splashing along the gaps in the leaves. This tragic scene made the other soldiers stop, and the enemy behind them was getting closer and closer, and finally made them make the decision to abandon the two soldiers.

Because the palm tree "attacks" any creature that touches its branches and leaves, it somewhat protects the two soldiers, leaving their corpses not eaten by other animals, but just a little bit of drying to become what it is now.

Even if it is not at 30 degrees south latitude, there are not so many strange phenomena that cannot be explained by science, and the tropical rainforests of the South Pacific islands are still full of dangers, and they must be managed step by step.
