Chapter 46 Many obstacles
"Then take the waterway."
Bruce stepped up and said, "Since it's all three days, it's much safer to take a boat than to cross the rainforest." ”
Bill nodded and looked at Jordan.
Jordan hesitated: "Okay, take the water route." ”
So the boat turned around and sailed back.
Bruce whispered to Chang Wei on the side: "Actually, it must be much faster to take the land route, because there is no need to take a detour, you can go straight." But I shared Bill's thoughts, the dangers in the rainforest are unpredictable, and it is better to take the water. ”
Obviously, both Bruce and Bill knew that it would normally take less time to walk through the rainforest from here than by water, but Bill deliberately said that it would take at least three days, which was fooling Jack and the others.
After all, life safety is the most important thing.
Next, Jack and the others showed more urgency. Because the blood orchid is almost over. After a three-day detour, they may catch up with a tail, so they can't help but be in a hurry.
It is really the blood orchid that pins all the expectations of these people for the future.
If the Blood Orchid project is successful, then Jack, the doctor, will gain fame and fortune, and the academic community will become famous. His assistant and student Sam will follow. And Jordan and Gail, the two leaders sent by Pfizer, will also get a salary increase because of the success of the project, and even get more benefits.
But complaining and backing down are not without it. The doctor and the little black brother who played with the computer were the people in this team who wanted to back down the most.
But at this point, they can't retreat if they want to, so they can only continue to walk.
On the first day the boat sailed into the fork river, Chang Wei found traces of pythons. And the monkey.
Under the observation of the power of the divine soul, the python's huge and slender body was revealed. More than ten meters long and thick buckets, it is indeed amazing.
But for Chang Wei, this is nothing.
In the last life, Taixuan Xianmen, he saw rare birds and beasts abound, the big ones are bigger than the mountains, as long as a river, flying wings to cover the sun, more than ten meters long pythons are like earthworms, not worth mentioning.
But it's not without other gains. Chang Wei clearly sensed the difference between the python - the breath was very violent, and there was a hint of domineering charm. What's more, the python was originally a cold-blooded animal, but the breath of this python was extremely hot.
"Blood Orchid..."
Chang Wei was more interested in Blood Orchid.
It's this thing that has changed the python here, and it may not be a python anymore in essence, except for the body.
The python that Chang Wei found came and went in a hurry, and it didn't seem to pay attention to the boat in the river. It seems that something attracts it.
Chang Wei still has a vague memory of this, it seems that the mating season of the python has arrived, and there is a female snake calling all the male snakes in the rainforest to choose a husband.
It's at Bloodlan's.
To be honest, if Chang Wei gets off the boat now and follows the python, I'm afraid he will be able to find Xuelan soon, and he won't have to be with Jack and the others at all.
But Chang Wei doesn't know martial arts.
He is an ordinary farmer, a lover of exotic plants.
So he could only follow the squad.
If there is a reason to do fine, but now it seems that there is no normal reason to separate.
Another night.
I don't know what happened to Gail's marrow and taste, and he found Chang Wei again. The Standing Committee members were also happy to communicate with her.
Speaking of normal men, such as Chang Wei, who is extremely strong, Yuwang is often heavier. At St. Edward's, there was Ellie. Leaving St. Edward's, he is holding back these days.
Since there are door-to-door deliveries, and they are not ugly, why not communicate and communicate?
It's not looking for a wife. And the Western concept that love and jade are separate.
So when I got up the next day, all kinds of complaints came to my face.
Gail hid in the house to recuperate from his injuries, and Chang Wei endured it with a smile alone.
"Man, if you come back tonight, you'd better keep her shut." Bill's eyes were dark and he couldn't help but say, "She's too loud, too much... Strong, I can hear it even with my ears blocked. ”
"Look at them." He also pointed to Jack and the others: "It's all dark circles." ”
Sam's face flushed, and he spat and hid in the cabin. The rest of the men diverged their thinking based on this incident, and all kinds of colored topics were brought up, and the atmosphere was loosened and survived.
It was bustling here, and the long-haired guy who was driving the boat shouted, "Bill! Bill! Come here! ”
Bill made a gesture and hurried to the captain's quarters.
The people on deck also noticed that something was wrong, and the sound of the engine clicked a few times and stopped!
For a while, they were speechless and choked.
When Bill returned, Jack and Jordan grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with the engine?! ”
"As you can see, it's broken." Bill was helpless as well.
"Didn't you say your ship is the strongest?" Sam had come out by this time, and she complained, "What kind of sturdy is this? ”
Bill snorted, "How do I know? Something was stuck in the engine blades, and I had to go down and take a look. There are very few boats coming in from this fork of the river, and the water is not deep enough, probably aquatic weeds. ”
As he spoke, he took off his clothes, jumped into the river with a pop, and disappeared.
After a moment, Bill emerged from the murky river and shook his head, "It's broken. ”
"Can you fix it?" Jordan asked him.
"There are no parts." Bill climbed aboard and sighed.
"Shet!"
Jordan and Jack cursed together.
"So what now?" At this time, Gale walked out with a spring breeze on his face, and the initial obedience on his face was much less, and his tone was much softer.
Bill first praised: "You're so beautiful." ”
Then he said, "Two choices." ”
"Two more." Sam snorted.
Bill ignored her and said, "First, we're going down the river now. You don't need an engine, you can go. But it's slower. ”
"Second..."
"Through the rainforest." Jordan angrily interrupted him: "I knew it! ”
"So what do you say?" Bill wasn't used to him: "Either go down the river or cross the rainforest." If you want to be safe, you can go by water, and if you want speed, you can go through the rainforest. If you want to walk in the rainforest, I won't accompany you. ”
"Let's take the waterway..."Sam looked at the dense woods on both sides of the river, and winced a little, "It's too dangerous in the rainforest. ”
Jack took a deep breath: "If you go downstream, what about time?" ”
"Half a day." Bill Road.
Jack looked at Jordan.
Jordan had no choice but to nod: "Half a day is half a day." ”
In order to reduce the weight of the boat and make it a little faster, they even threw away the anchor. I also made a shelf, made a sheet or something into a sail and hung it.
After doing all this, Gail came to Chang Wei's side: "I just hope that there will be no more accidents in the future." ”
But the unexpected happened.
The engine is rotten and removed, the anchor is lost, what happens to an empty shelf boat when it encounters a waterfall?
There is no way!
