Chapter 516: A Strange Discovery
Qiu Yifeng squatted by the fire and carried the snake over, the flying knife just now was quite accurate, and it stabbed directly seven inches, and the python was in the account at that time. At this time, Qiu Yifeng skillfully stretched the tip of the dagger into the gap, and with just a slight stroke, the snake's abdomen was completely cut, and the entire internal organs were completely turned out.
There are more than 30 catties of forest pythons were divided by several team members, the snake meat of the white flowers was cut into strips, and the team members skewered the snake meat with branches and inserted it on the side of the fire, relying on the heat of the fire as long as the snake meat will be roasted for a while. "Dad, this is for you to eat, clear heart and clear eyes." Qiu Yifeng smiled and lifted the snake gall in front of Qiu Rui. Jury smiled and took the snake gall, this kind of thing he was used to eating in the wild, and he didn't think it smelled bad. He didn't chew it when he put it directly in his mouth, the snake gall was too bitter, and if he bit it, he was afraid that he would not be able to taste it in his mouth for several days, so Qiu Rui swallowed it directly.
"It's hard to hunt in the rainforest." At this time, Zhang Qiang happened to come over with a few people, and they only had two monkeys and some wild fruits picked up with leaves.
Jury smiled: "There are no large animals in the rainforest, so naturally there will not be much harvest. Didn't you have a lot left of the ones you got from hunting yesterday, and you brought them all after you smoked them? Let's eat it, the air in the rainforest is humid, and the food is not easy to preserve, so don't spoil it. ”
Qiu Yifeng smiled by the fire: "Uncle Zhang, we have gained more than you today, look at us got a forest worm, which is dozens of catties." ”
Zhang Qiang ran to the fire with a smile, looked at the sizzling snake meat that had been roasted and smiled: "Big nephew, you still have a way, it's hard to find such a good thing." ”
The team members gathered around the fires that had been lit, some of them skinned and roasted the monkeys on the fire, some of them warmed up the bacon they had brought with them, and they were ready to start their dinner. Zhang Qiang picked up a string of snake meat and chewed it and said to Qiu Rui: "By the way, I just found a big stone in a glade that is very suspicious, let's go over tomorrow to take a look." ”
"Suspicious boulder? What does it look like? Qiu Rui frowned when he heard Zhang Qiang's words.
Zhang Qiang said: "It's probably a cube, more than five meters high, and it looks like it has been artificially trimmed. ”
"Oh? Could it be that there are indigenous tribes nearby? Let's go and have a double post tonight, let's go and have a look tomorrow" Jury's heart tightened, it was not good news that there were human tracks, because according to legend, in the depths of the southern subcontinent, there were cannibal indigenous tribes.
The well-fed team members are already getting ready to rest, but at night in the rainforest, the ground is very lively, and there are many insects and small animals that are active at night, so it is definitely not a good idea to sleep on the ground at night.
The experienced team members sorted out their equipment and chose a tree to climb up. Joe Yifeng also climbed a tree, and he stopped at a crossed branch, where the branches were thick and just right. Qiu Yifeng bent and weaved the branches together, and soon weaved a tree bed between the branches.
Qiu Yifeng lay down on the interview and tried it out, it was very strong and comfortable, he held his backpack and rifle in his arms, and fell asleep. The rest of the team also made their own tree beds, and a slight snoring gradually sounded. After a tiring day's work, the team members were clearly exhausted, and they quickly fell asleep in the tree bed, only a few of the team members were still awake, and they would be the first sentry of the night.
The next morning, the team members had some breakfast and started to bake their clothes again, because it had rained during the night, and many of their clothes were wet again, and when it was dawn to dry their clothes, they put out the campfire and set off. Under the leadership of Zhang Qiang, the expedition team soon arrived at the big rock he had mentioned yesterday. The boulder was five meters square and looked quite regular, but it was covered with moss over the years, and there were a few vines wrapped around it.
Qiu Rui circled around the stone twice and shook his head, "This stone is indeed hand-excavated, but the amount of work is very large, and it is by no means something that can be completed by those primitive indigenous tribes. Strange what this is. ”
Jory noticed something unusual on the boulder, and he pulled out his dagger and scraped the moss from the boulder. Under the scraping of the dagger, large patches of moss fell off one after another, revealing the gray stone texture inside, and a large pit was revealed in the middle of the stone.
The dirt in the pit was slowly peeled away by Jory, revealing a peculiar shape of a coat of arms, a bearded figure with a huge axe and a coiled snake at his feet, plus a lion crouching next to him to form the entire pattern of the coat of arms, and under the badge, a large arrow pointed forward.
"Looks like a signpost." Zhang Qiang looked at the pattern and said.
"Maybe it's a relic." Qiu Yifeng also guessed.
Qiu Rui nodded and said, "Let's follow this sign, maybe we can find a relic, now the Imperial Archaeological Bureau is buying cultural relics at a high price, maybe we can make a fortune." ”
Hearing that there was money to be made, the team members cheered, and the exploration with a goal was more morale-boosting than the aimless search, and when they hit the road again, the team members felt that their feet were much lighter, but their high morale was quickly eroded.
After two days of marching, they found the same boulder again, and they saw the same badge and a new pointing arrow. Following the arrow's direction, the expedition had been in the rainforest for a full month.
The humid conditions of the rainforest took a toll on the team, with many of them starting to develop rashes, some of which were bursting with pus, making them painful. Fortunately, Jury was prepared, and although he did not carry much food before entering the rainforest, he brought enough medicine, so that the expedition team did not lose troops.
"Lao Qiu, I think let's go back, I estimate that we have gone deep into the interior for almost a thousand kilometers, there is no hope of finding the ruins, the physical strength of the team members has reached the limit, and I am afraid that there will be attrition if we go on." Zhang Qiang approached Qiu Rui and expressed his worries.
Qiu Rui, who was holding the compass, sighed and said, "It's been two days since I last saw a stone, and I estimate that the next stone will appear soon, if it's still an arrow this time, let's go back." ”
At this time, he was already very deep inland, and Jury was not sure in his heart, maybe it was time to give up. The team continued to move forward for half an hour, and Zhang Qiang, who was walking in front of the team, suddenly shouted: "Lao Qiu, there is a situation ahead." ”
Hearing Zhang Qiang's shout, Qiu Rui quickly ran to the front of the team, and Qiu Yifeng quickly followed. Running to the front of the group, Juri noticed a large object blocking his way, covered in moss like the boulders, but not in the shape of boulders.
The huge object is relatively sleek and streamlined, much larger than the boulder. Seeing this huge object, Qiu Yifeng quickly stepped forward, and after making sure that there was no danger around, he drew his dagger and cut off the nearby tree vines and approached the object.
"Yi Feng (eldest nephew) be careful." Qiu Rui and Zhang Qiang reminded at the same time, they also felt that this thing was not simple, for fear that Qiu Yifeng would launch dangerously.
Qiu Yifeng waved his hand in agreement, and then he took the dagger and blew up the moss. After the large moss peeled off, it actually revealed the luster of metal, and when he saw the metal Qiu Yifeng, he let out an exclamation.
Jory feared that his son would be in danger, so he walked over quickly, and soon he also saw the metal exposed under the moss. It's just strange that this object has been here for a long time, and in the humid rainforest, the metal is unbleached.
Hearing Jory say that there was a metal object under the moss, the team cheered, indicating that the ruins might have been found. Zhang Qiang, who was standing a little farther away, touched his chin and observed the object.
"Old Qiu, what do you say this thing looks like?" Zhang Qiang asked suddenly.
Hearing Zhang Qiang's words, Qiu Rui was stunned, and then he also walked away and took a closer look: "It looks a little like the latest bomber of the Empire, but it is not like it, this guy is at least a few hundred meters long, and he has no wings, and the bomber of the Empire is definitely not so big." ”
As soon as the words came out, Qiu Rui was also shocked, a metal object hundreds of meters long, I am afraid that it is much larger than the Zhonghua-class battleship, what kind of country can build such a huge aircraft, and abandon it here a long time ago, Qiu Rui and Zhang Qiang immediately felt that the gaffe was serious, and they had to report it to the military.
"Yi Feng, take out the satellite phone and give me a confidential channel." Jory felt that he had to report it immediately, and to report it to the Predator Headquarters. In order to protect the safety of these expeditions, the Chinese Consortium equipped them with satellite phones, and since the areas controlled by the Chinese Empire in the Southern Subcontinent bordered the colonies of other powers, in case of any military intelligence or emergency, the Predators also opened an encrypted channel for the expeditions to be used for emergency contact.
Jury's report quickly reacted to the Predator's communications center, and seeing such bizarre news, the Predator's communications center also felt that the situation was serious, and they directly reported it to the High Command.
"Jory, this guy has discovered something new? He's not at all at ease, he's become a monopoly and always run out. Liu Mingzhao smiled and took the call record and looked at it, but gradually he frowned: "Boss Fu, you come to see this, it seems that the problem is very serious." ”
"Oh?" Fu Mingcheng took the record in surprise: "An unidentified metal object at least a few hundred meters long? Streamlined like an airplane? Did he think it was a battleship? ”
Liu Mingzhao said: "Qiu Rui is a very cautious person, he doesn't say big things. What's more, there is Zhang Qiang with him, he is an artilleryman, and the estimated distance will not be too outrageous. ”
