Chapter 180 Beyond the Limits of Stretching 4. Asking for Flowers
Several people were like beggars at this time, their faces were either bruised or bloodstained, and none of the clothes on their bodies were intact, and they were basically torn. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] It's not like it's unclothed, but it looks pretty miserable.
But the most serious thing is not these, but their supplies, because they find that they only have enough for a day at most, and the vacuum-packed drinking water is almost consumed.
Xie Xiaoshuai took out the compass and the map, and began to look for the location where they belonged against the reference here, fortunately these two things were not lost, otherwise it would have been even worse.
However, the more Xie Xiaoshuai looked at it, the darker his face became, and finally closed the map and received the two things into the pocket of the tactical vest.
"What's the matter, Xiaoshuai? Can't find a reference? Lei Wei saw that Xie Xiaoshuai's face was not good-looking, and asked with concern.
"The reference is found, a good news and a bad news at the same time, which one do you want to hear?" Xie Xiaoshuai joked instead.
"Let's listen to the good news first, I'm not an optimist, and I'm most afraid to hear the news." Lei Wei laughed.
"The good news is that last night the river was so fast that it only took us a day and a night to cover the whole distance." Xie Xiaoshuai smiled bitterly.
"That's a good thing, so why do you have that expression? So what's the bad news? Lei Wei asked.
Xie Xiaoshuai's wry smile looked even more bitter, and Lei Wei had a bad premonition in his heart. "The news is that we were washed away by the river too far, far beyond the expected distance. In other words, we have to return along the way to get to the predetermined location. ”
"Bad news indeed, so how far are we from the second target?" Lei Wei's face also became bitter, this news is indeed bad enough.
"It's not far, it's just more than a hundred kilometers in a straight line."
"That's okay, it's only a day's delay at most, we still have plenty of time." Lei Wei heard Xie Xiaoshuai's words and relaxed his heart.
"I'm talking about straight distances, but on the way back we will encounter a mountain range, which is very high and has a cliff that we can't cross at our current state. So we can only take a detour, I have carefully calculated, we need to walk more than 200 kilometers, in this way, not only do we not save time, but also waste an extra day. A bitter smile kept hanging on Xie Xiaoshuai's face.
"You kid, can you finish it all? Looking at you, are there any other problems? Lei Wei was very angry with Xie Xiaoshuai.
"I won't talk about the supply problem, we are all people with experience in surviving in the wild, this is not worrying, at most it is just a waste of time to find it. The key thing was that there was a dangerous place on the way to the detour, and I wasn't sure I could pass through it safely. Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless we jump off the river and go upstream, back on our original trajectory." Xie Xiaoshuai spread out his hands and expressed helplessness.
"Oh my God, swimming against the current, it's a little too difficult, isn't it?" Lei Wei exclaimed.
"There is no other way but these two paths."
"Maybe we have a third way?" Gong Mao said out loud at this time.
"Let's listen to it, everyone brainstorms, and if there is a good way, you can put it forward." Xie Xiaoshuai said.
"Can we cross the river and choose a route from there, and then we can solve both problems?" Gong Mao proposed.
"Wait, I'll see if this is possible?" Xie Xiaoshuai felt that Gong Mao's proposal was good, so he took out the map and compass and began to study it.
After a while, Xie Xiaoshuai said excitedly: "This method is indeed feasible, although the opposite side is also densely covered with jungles, but after dozens of kilometers there is a large plain, which is much faster than the jungle, it is indeed a good way, everyone prepare, we cross the river basin." ”
Luckily for them, the width of the river in this place was not very wide, only twenty miles or two kilometers, and it didn't take long to cross it. Of course, in order to save physical strength, they still found a few large tree sticks.
Crossing the jungle into the plains, they began to trot, and their speed increased considerably. But, as if God was joking with them, when they were out of breath and almost out of strength, they actually met the local natives.
The two members of the assault team who were running at the front suddenly felt empty under their feet, and out of instinct, they immediately turned around and jumped to the side. Then the ground caved in, revealing a large pit with spiky thorns underneath that looked like a trap for beasts. When the people behind saw the movement of the assault team, they immediately stopped their progress and wanted to make a detour.
Suddenly, a large group of natives stood in the grass on both sides, each with spears in hand, looking at the sand fox team viciously, they were dressed quite simply, only covering the key parts with animal skins, and their red skin and faces were painted with various patterns.
A slightly chubby native, with a few feathers on his head, stepped forward and uttered a long series of words, and then the natives snorted and roared, their spears aimed at the sand fox squad.
This is worth it, there are at least hundreds of natives in this group, each with a spear in their hands, and it is strange that they don't nail a few members of the sand fox team into hedgehogs.
When Xie Xiaoshuai and the others went out, the red fox had warned them that they must not have any conflict with the local natives, although the guns in their hands were loaded with live ammunition, but they did not dare to shoot, so they could only hug their heads and run away.
The Sand Fox squad rushed at full speed in an empty space where no one was around, and the spears they threw kept falling behind them, and although no one was shot by the spears, the situation was indeed dangerous.
The sand fox team successfully broke through, and all the natives behind yelled and chased after them, as if they would not give up until they left all the sand fox squad. The natives are surprisingly good in physical strength, not only fast, but also very good in stamina. Although the speed of the sand fox team was very fast, the natives behind them followed closely behind, and from time to time they would throw stones to attack a few members of the sand fox team.
The members of the sand fox team not only had to run at high speed, but also had to prevent the stones thrown from behind, and the weapons in their hands could not be used, and the grievances in their hearts could be imagined. Originally, their physical strength was seriously consumed, and they had been encountering all kinds of bad luck for several days, and they were physically and mentally exhausted, and their running speed was getting slower and slower, and they were constantly gasping for breath one by one.
Fortunately, after running for more than ten kilometers, these natives all stopped straight, no longer chasing them, but just stood there yelling, as if they were insulting the Xiaohu team in the indigenous language. Several people breathed a sigh of relief, dragged their tired bodies, and slowly walked forward.
"Everyone be careful, don't trespass into the territory of the natives again, it's really uncomfortable to be chased and beaten and can't fight back." Xie Xiaoshuai was aggrieved.
"They didn't chase us because they were out of their tribe's territory, and I think there must be indigenous tribes around here. Everyone should be more careful, this tribe is okay, just using spears, if you meet some tribes who are good at using poison, they will have already used poison needles to greet them. Liu Yuxin issued a warning.
"Hey~! I didn't expect our luck to be so bad, as soon as we went out, we encountered all kinds of problems, and this is better, like a lost dog. "Lei Wei was very depressed.
"There's no way, since you're here, you have to be mentally prepared to encounter all kinds of emergencies. Maybe we are unlucky, but we must not complain, continue to move forward, the assault team continues to open the way, just now we were careless, no one expected to encounter the aborigines hunting. Xie Xiaoshuai mobilized.
