Chapter 14: Jungle Infiltration
Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao had just taken a nap and stretched comfortably, when they heard Liu Guodong exclaim that there was a crocodile. He looked ahead, and the river was narrower, with abundant water and grass on both sides, and in the distance there were large trees falling on the river, and the raft was in danger of getting stuck. So, he blurted out an order, "All hands are ready for battle, the raft turns around!" ”
Liu Guodong commanded the front raft to turn around smoothly, but the boatmen of the rear raft were nervous, and the raft was across the river, and there was a dangerous situation.
Lin Tao just shouted in Lancang, the boatman supported the bottom of the river, and the raft slowly turned around. Both boatmen were also veterans, but the dark shadows on the surface of the river made them shudder. Suddenly, the big bamboo pole in the hand of the boatman on the left was bitten by the crocodile, and the crocodile spun around, and the boatman was reluctant to give up the pole, and he was thrown into the river unsteadily.
The boatman struggled in the water, and several dark shadows were approaching him.
Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao quickly opened fire, and the rain of bullets from the two Colt M16A2 assault rifles allowed the boatman to escape death, and with the help of another boatman, he finally threw himself on the raft in embarrassment. However, the 5.56 mm caliber bullet could not kill the crocodile at all, on the contrary, it stimulated the crocodile's wildness even more and began to attack the raft.
Several predators were frantically pushing under the raft, and Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao kept shooting from the gap to the bottom of the raft. An enraged predator suddenly jumped up from the river, jumped on the raft, and pounced on a boatman.
The raft was about to be overturned, and at the last moment, Lin Tao jumped to the other side of the raft to balance the raft. Yu Songyuan pulled out a 9mm Browning pistol and fired several shots in succession, blinding the predator in both eyes.
The predator was so painful that it almost jumped off the raft, and with a loud "thump" sound, it smashed back into the river, stirring up a column of water more than one meter high. The raft was erected on one side and almost flipped off the other. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao quickly jumped over to the other side and let the raft balance once again. The two boatmen clung to the handrail so that they did not fall into the river.
Soon, the raft rolled and mingled, and several crocodiles began to bite several injured crocodiles.
With this opportunity left, the boatman had already turned the raft around, pulled the gasoline engine, and drove quickly north, hoping to get out of danger quickly. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao shot from time to time and wounded several large crocodiles. On the latter raft, Lin Zhumin and Liu Guodong also shot fiercely.
In an instant, the river surface was like a boiling pot, and dozens of large crocodiles were fighting together, and these injured crocodiles would soon become a delicious meal for the crocodiles. Taking advantage of the fierce battle of the crocodiles, the two rafts quickly left the danger area.
This human-crocodile battle is extremely short and thrilling!
After walking back for about 300 meters, the river gradually widened, but when you look closely under the water, many dark shadows are still moving rapidly southward. This is a large number of Siamese crocodiles, rushing towards the battlefield just now. This animal's underwater sense of smell is truly amazing. Raising his hand to look at the diving watch, it was already past twelve o'clock, and Yu Songyuan ordered to dock.
When everyone is ashore and has reached a safe place, the raft is tethered. Yu Songyuan held the thickest bamboo pole and suddenly stabbed a predator who was in a hurry under the raft. This is a huge Siamese crocodile that reflexively bites the iron head of a bamboo pole and wants to roll. Yu Songyuan secretly lucked, held the bamboo pole steadily, and dragged it up to the shore with all his might.
This Southeast Asian Siamese crocodile is about three meters long. It's a deserted place, perhaps never before in the face of such a challenge, with a large mouth like steel pliers, clutching the bamboo pole at all. Lin Zhumin held a large-caliber pistol and maintained a vigilant posture, and Lin Tao and Liu Guodong also came to help. But as soon as the predator got on the land, the front and rear paws kicked the ground, and the force was infinite, and the three of them struggled to tug of war, and they could have a tie with it.
The predator kicked the river, his body motionless, holding on to the three of them, his tail stirring the river as if it were boiling a pot. The boundless anger filled its small yellow eyes with hatred, as if it was about to burn. It bites the bamboo pole and fights with them unrelentingly.
The boatmen turned so pale with fear that they forgot to raise their guns.
Lin Tao also drew his pistol, and he and Lin Zhumin shot at the same time. The predator jumped like thunder, broke free from the bamboo pole, jumped ashore, and wanted to attack Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin. Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong also drew their pistols, four nine-millimeter large-caliber pistols, and fired a volley. "Bang bang bang" several shots, and the bullets all went into its head.
The predator's eyes were broken, but he still jumped up and pounced, and the four of them hurriedly avoided it. It struggled furiously and violently for a few moments, and finally remained motionless.
The four of them called the boatman who was already stunned, and everyone worked together to drag the hundreds of pounds of predators to the dry flat ground on the shore, light a bonfire, and began to cut and grill the fresh crocodiles. A sharp diving knife cuts through the crocodile skin, and the tender crocodile meat inside is cut piece by piece like a tofu cube, and placed on the plantain leaves chopped by the boatmen, while several boatmen carry the crocodile meat on bamboo for barbecue.
Of all animal meats, crocodile meat is the most tender, tasty, and nutritious. Everyone had a full meal, and Yu Songyuan asked the boatmen to roast more crocodiles, wrap them in banana leaves, and put them in their backpacks to make dry food. Several of the boatmen are from the local old Longdai tribe, and they know the preciousness of crocodile meat. It's the first time they've seen such a vigorous way of eating.
The fragrant barbecue makes the animals in the jungle ready to move. A large herd of baboons was screaming in the jungle not far away. However, they did not dare to attack.
The boatmen carefully cut out all the uneaten crocodile meat, wrapped it in banana leaves, and prepared to take it home for everyone to taste. After the worst treatment, clean up the crocodile liver, kidneys, palms, bones, and skin, wrap a piece in banana leaves, and prepare to take it back for medicine.
After a few boatmen set off on the raft and returned, Yu Songyuan and the others rested for a while, then picked up their tactical backpacks, locked them into the deep dense forest, and began to move south.
This place is located on the Changshan mountain range, the mountains are high and densely forested, except for the fierce battle with the M army, the Anjun army often hides in the primeval rainforest in order to avoid the bombing of the M army aircraft, in the past ten years, very few people have come in. Lin Zhumin opened the way in front, and Liu Guodong broke off in the back, encountering various animals from time to time.
"Ghosts, it looks like someone is staring at us!" Lin Zhumin and Liu Guodong both reported successively.
"I felt it when I fought the crocodiles." Yu Songyuan replied.
"Tianshun, ghost hand, could it be a hunter? It's off the beaten track, but it's a paradise for animals! Lin Tao asked.
"Definitely not. We deliberately walked a few long animal paths without any hunting equipment. Lin Zhumin denied Lin Tao's hypothesis.
The howls of wolves from afar and near, the "chirping" of monkeys, the laughter of baboons like people, and the squeaks of squeaks, make them feel threatened at all times. The most serious thing is that he was attacked by a group of baboons, Lin Zhumin was unbearable, and after stabbing a very aggressive, irritable, and ferocious male baboon, the baboons screamed and fled in panic.
The big trees on the mountain are covered with thorns and all kinds of vines and plants, and the humus soil is very thick, wet, and extremely difficult to walk. Lin Zhumin had to use a diving knife to cut the rattan plants from time to time to cut a "road" for the team. After a while, Lin Tao's top soldiers were replaced, and the team moved forward with great difficulty, and the speed was very slow.
In the primeval forest, it gets dark early. Liu Guodong originally wanted to choose a huge banyan tree as a campsite. He silently climbed up to the canopy twenty or thirty meters high, and an animal like a cat sprang out of the hollow in the air. He looked inside the canopy and the hollow of the tree, and then climbed down again.
He lifted the thatch again and chose a small cave. First, a piece of thatch in front of the cave is cut off with a diving knife, and then the thatch is spread into the hole. The cave is very small, only a dozen square meters large, five or six meters high, and it is not even. It was wet and mossy inside. Lin Zhumin and Lin Tao cut two large bundles of firewood and lit a bonfire inside.
That night, when the team camped, they took turns to be on duty, and everyone had a good night's sleep. The wind rose in the night, the wind howled, countless animals were making noise outside the cave, ghosts were crying wolves, eager to try, very terrifying. But the bonfire in the cave was not extinguished overnight, and not a single animal invaded the cave.
But the players could feel that there was still a pair of eyes watching them at night.
The next day they walked hard for another day under the ridge, and in the evening they came to the source of a small river. Here, the spring water from the mountains flows down into the waterhole at the headwaters of the creek. Next to the waterhole is an open flat field, and in the center is a simple log cabin made by hunters. On the wooden pole in front of the wooden house, there are also several skins of various animals dried.
"This is supposed to be where they live, and they should be on guard. It is likely to be our guide, to prevent accidental injury, ready to catch alive! Yu Songyuan ordered.
Lin Zhumin inspected the cabin, and there were two small bags in the cabin, which contained some dried glutinous rice balls and a small packet of salt. Then he touched the ashes of the bonfire in front of the cabin, and then whispered to Yu Songyuan: "The 'hunter' is nearby, and the ashes are still warm!" ”
Yu Songyuan made a gesture, "Camp here at night!" ”
Everyone lit a bonfire, and a small pile of freshly picked dry branches was piled up next to the cabin, and everyone lit the bonfire, and then took out the fresh crocodile pieces wrapped in banana leaves, and put them next to the campfire to warm up.
After dinner, I drank another belly of spring water. Liu Guodong was on duty, watching the bonfire outside the wooden house, while the other three dragged their tactical backpacks into the wooden house and began to rest.
The three of them entered the wooden house, and through the gap, carefully inspected the mountains and forests behind them with night vision goggles, and found nothing unusual. So, after a long while, Lin Zhumin replaced Liu Guodong and was on duty outside.
Liu Guodong entered the wooden house, and the three of them lifted the wood behind the wooden house, quietly got out of the wooden house, and locked it into the dense forest.
