290 Baptism of Blood

The midday sun hung overhead, desperately shining on this vast and peaceful world, as the mist of water evaporated, the air was filled with a thick damp smell that could hardly be dissolved, and everywhere was everywhere, the centuries-old, 60-meter-tall towering trees, they tried their best to spread the umbrella-shaped canopy, the sunlight that represented warmth and hope, completely isolated from their own territory, under their blockade, even the water vapor could not escape, and re-condensed on the leavesAfter accumulating continuously, it turns into water droplets and drips down again, hitting the surface plants that are half a person high, making a "da-da" like rain

If no one had used a knife in front of him to split the whole land, plants more than half a man tall and tough vines with barbs, and not more than two hundred meters away, the clothes of the whole body would have turned into strips of rags; If you don't tie your trouser legs tightly and do a good job of insect repellent measures, at most ten minutes, a finger-thick leech will crawl down your legs, and unconsciously, suck your blood and life force away, there is water everywhere, but you must not be thirsty, just casually go to a small puddle that looks clean without the slightest impurities to get water to drink, because at the bottom of the puddle, those beautiful and harmless looking red flowers may be the deadly poisonous thorn epiphany, There are many people, just because they can't resist hunger, and they eat a lot of fruit that they can't name, and they take off their clothes like crazy, and they laugh and jump and shout and scream and scar themselves in the land where there are thorns everywhere and all kinds of deadly dangers, and finally fall on the land, and use their corpses to make the surrounding plants grow stronger, yes. This piece is composed of an endless piece of green, standing in it but not feeling the warmth and vitality of the green, only from the bottom of the heart to raise a desperate world, is more terrible than the desert, I don't know how many lives have been devoured, everywhere is the Congo rainforest full of bones, looking at everything in front of you, listening to your big feet in Marine boots, stepping into the soft ground, emitting "poof"

Lin Zifeng, who was walking at the front of the team, brandishing a mountain knife more than one meter long, and constantly chopping thorns and leaves, couldn't help frowning slightly, suddenly, Lin Dong stopped, and raised his right fist at the same time, seeing Lin Dong's movements, the entire team behind him immediately entered a static state, and the others looked in the direction of Lin Zifeng's gaze, and after several recognitions, they saw that in a green canopy nearly twenty meters high from the ground, there was an adult cheetah lying quietly, in the primeval jungle, These agile and agile can easily climb dozens of meters high trees, and with the help of fur color, the cats who successfully hide are the best hunters, they climb to the tree twenty meters high from the ground, when the prey passes under them, they will condescend and pounce directly, with the help of the power of falling, launch a fatal attack on the prey, not to mention humans, even if it is an adult wild boar, by such an adult cheetah weighing more than forty kilograms with the power of the fall, the spine will also be broken alive, The team members behind Lin Dong are all carrying automatic rifles, and they are even equipped with automatic grenade launchers on the battlefield that can suppress the enemy with high-intensity fire in a short period of time, and are known as "Metal Storm"

, Grint's individual Vulcan cannon, which can shoot 2,000 rounds per minute, with this kind of weaponry, they can definitely stand at the top of the food chain in this primeval jungle, but looking at the cheetah lying quietly on a tree, with those golden eyes, quietly staring at his group, but no one shot, the expressions on everyone's faces were as calm as watching a film describing natural landscapes in the cinema, Lin Dong didn't speak, he just raised his head, Quietly staring at the cheetah that was ready to attack one of them, after looking at each other for about a minute, Lin Dong took a step forward, in nature, the two fierce beasts met in a narrow way, they would confront each other, carefully measure each other's strength, when one of them took the initiative to step forward, it meant that it had the absolute upper hand, and was ready to attack the opponent, Lin Dong's step made the cheetah lying on the thick branch become nervous, even in its throat, They all let out a low whimper full of warning, "I'm not interested in playing games with you." ”

Lin Dong stared at the cheetah above his head and said in a deep voice, "Go away." ”

The cheetah is even more nervous, it is not the first time it has encountered "humans" in this jungle

This animal, once hungry, it ventured to attack a human who was lost with its companions, as a result, it felt the fear from the heart of the other party's body, from that time on, it included human beings in its own food category, but the human in front of it, and the prey it encountered before is absolutely different, this human just stood there quietly, a murderous aura like a substance, in an instant cut through the fifty meters long void between the two, stabbed into its heart, and lived in the cruel nature of the fittest for a long time, The keenest intuition cultivated reminded this cheetah: Be careful, this human being is absolutely dangerous, took another step forward, looking at the cheetah whose entire body was bent into a bow, and even the long hair on its back stood upside down, Lin Dong slowly raised the heavy mountain knife in his hand, "Either go or die." ”

The cheetah retreated, it slid down the tree, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision in a blink of an eye, the momentum is really a very wonderful thing in nature, until he was sure that the danger was completely gone, Lin Dong gently exhaled a long breath in the lobes of the lungs, in the tropical rainforest where the humidity is too heavy, the respiratory tract of many animals will have more or less problems, so their wheezing sound will be much heavier than that of their counterparts living in other areas, and occasionally pull out a whistling sound, especially for cats such as cheetahs, If it weren't for the sharpest intuition in the face of danger on the battlefield, the team led by Lin Dong would probably pay the price of blood and even death if they were caught off guard." ”

With Lin Dong's low scream, a man who was less than one hundred and seventy centimeters tall and had more flexible movements than an ape walked quickly to Lin Dong's side, his full name was Mark, Lin Dong's assistant, and the vice captain of this team, Mark was two heads lower than Lin Dong, who was two hundred and ten centimeters tall and had a long tiger's back and bear's waist, and even his weight was only half of Lin Dong's, but just look at the scar on his neck, which was directly pierced through his throat by a bullet, and the knife wound on his face that was more than half a foot long, Absolutely no one dared to despise this man who had suffered such a heavy blow on the battlefield, but was still miraculously alive, Lin Dong said in a low voice: "Three o'clock direction." ”

Mark turned his head and searched in the bushes for a while, the pupils of his eyes suddenly contracted, and less than thirty meters to their right, there was a slightly flat land, where, in a triangular shape, there were more than twenty human skulls, Mark made a few gestures, and the two sharp soldiers who were on scout duty quickly leaned forward to form a three-three covering formation with Mark, and at the same time, a fire support team, also in the right place, set up squad light machine guns and automatic howitzers, "One is in position." ”

"Number two is in place."

In the portable walkie-talkie in Lin Dong's ears, two suppressed voices came, which represented the two so-called "infantry death"

The ace sniper has entered the best position of the field of fire, from this time on, whether it is a person or an animal, if you want to attack the search team led by Mark, you will inevitably be counterattacked by two snipers fiercely, under Lin Dong's silent gaze, Mark took two scouts, cautiously approached the pile of white bones, and finally Mark held the gun in his left hand, squatted down, and picked up a skull with his right hand, "These skulls are at least two yards smaller than normal humans, if I guess correctly, they should be indigenous to Africa, The remains of the dead African black and white colobus monkeys during the ritual of worshipping the 'big tile'"

The trachea had been pierced by a bullet, and when Mark spoke, there would be a snorting sound in his voice like pulling a bellows, Lin Dong frowned slightly, "Dawa." ”

"Dawa means mysterious power in Bantu language, and the appearance of such a skull array indicates that something incredible is happening nearby, and the local residents are using rituals similar to this to express their worship and respect for the mysterious power on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is used to warn others not to collide with the god with boundless mana and cause the wrath of the god."

After listening to Mark's explanation, Lin Dong snorted noncommittally, he never believed in any mysterious power, let alone religious propaganda such as heaven and hell, throughout the history of human civilization, any kind of technology or power, the first field to be applied must be military, if there is really any mysterious power such as ghosts and gods in this world, it should have been discovered by scientists a long time ago, and used in the field of war, becoming a weapon in the hands of these mercenaries, after such a small twist and turn, Lin Dong continued to use the mountain knife in his hand, splitting the thorns all over the ground, and led the team forward, about thirty minutes later, Lin Dong, who was walking in front of the team, was cheerful in front of him, and a huge open space appeared in front of him, and the brilliant sunlight shone on the flat ground paved with gravel in a presumptuous attitude, in the endless tropical rainforest, which finally saw such a dazzling and brilliant sunshine, even in the heart of a warrior like Lin Dong, who was baptized out of blood, I can't help but feel a kind of almost proud emotion, the indigenous people of the primitive tribes of Africa, who once lived here, these human beings who did not even have iron tools, and still lived in the Stone Age, simply used their own hands and simple tools, in the vast primeval jungle, to cut out a vast space that was three hundred meters long and two hundred meters wide, Lin Dong simply couldn't imagine, in order to prevent the surface plants with too tough vitality from taking root and sprouting here again, those indigenous people, What kind of mood and thoughts, from a small river dozens of kilometers away, find a large number of stones, carry them back, break them up, layer by layer on this too wet land, demarcate the land as a boundary, raise the banner of human civilization, with the passage of time, once ancestors in this land for generations of living on the indigenous people, has disappeared in the long river of history, but now, this land can be directly exposed to the sun, and because of a group of new guests to visit, and become full of vitality, A row of light but sturdy metal fences, easily in this primeval jungle, carved out a safe zone belonging to mankind, under the arch of the metal fence, twelve tents painted green, made of the toughest and most corrosion-resistant nylon material, on the ground paved with gravel blocks, neatly arranged in three columns, beside them dozens of smaller tents, which were used for habitation, judging from their size and number, in the whole camp, there were about thirty to forty tents; Smoke rose from a large tent, and the faint sound of plates and spoons clinking together could be heard in what was supposed to be a restaurant serving food and hot water; As for the largest tent, there is a green dish antenna erected outside, this antenna has been connected to a transmitter box in the tent, no need to ask, it must be the command center and communication center of the entire camp
