00422 Ancient Forest
In the process of Minnie Mouse taking Li Boan's daughter Li Luning to follow Chen Enzhi to Esinwar, let the time go back to the spring eight years ago, which was also the day when Zhang Yu and the others had just entered the journey of hell.
On January 21, 107 A.D., Special Squad 303 successfully arrived in the jungle of Vashalil and began a month-long hunting operation.
The current team has been reduced from thirty-seven to eleven members.
Most of those who were reduced had died at the dance party in the camp of the living dead fifteen days earlier, and those who survived were mainly Lin Sen and his party.
Lin Sen, Xiao Sumi, Fat Man Jin Yuan, Coward Zhang Yu, Bearded Cook and Strong Man Pan Mo were at the end of the line, and they followed behind the other five.
In addition to the No. 72 who led the team, the other four, three men and one woman, among them is extremely tall and very thin red hair called Chai Chong, he is the boss of these four people in private, good at hand-to-hand combat and medium and short-range weapons, and his combat methods are very ferocious.
The flat-chested black girl who followed Chai Chong's left hand was called Baigu, and she was the sniper in the entire team, known as having no bullets, but she hadn't fired a single shot in the past ten days.
The four-eyed boy with a broken hat on Chai Chong's right hand is called Nareddin, he is a ghost, very good at tinkering, a few pieces of rotten iron can be converted into weapons, and the extended-length short knife on Cook's waist is his masterpiece.
Behind the trio was a strange masked man nicknamed Grim, who rarely spoke, but his sense of smell and hearing was simply outstanding, and it was his credit that the team had dodged sneak attacks several times.
The lineup on Lin Sen's side is much more mediocre in comparison.
Although Cook has brute strength and good fist and foot skills, he seems to be naturally clumsy against thermonuclear weapons, and even if he can barely use the Burst Porcupine now, the actual combat index is still very low.
Pan Mo is not bad, he has long arms, with a strong physique, it stands to reason that it is great to be a thrower, but Pan Mo actually has a problem with tinnitus, once the fight starts, the sound is too loud and he can't hear anything.
As for the fat man and Zhang Yu, these two completely interpret what pig teammates and crane tails are.
One is to use a flamethrower to do BBQ when it's okay, and then attract enemies, and the other is the master who squats down and hides as soon as the fight starts, and the combined effect of the two is "burdensome".
But they were lucky enough to survive until now.
Of course, this is also related to Lin Sen taking care of it from time to time along the way.
The rest of Xiao Sumi should have looked like the most nothing to look forward to, but on the contrary, it was the team's little lucky star, she was not only smart, good at emergency treatment, but also recognized almost all animals and plants, this is a mobile treasure chest, as long as she is there, what can be eaten, what can be cured, what is poisonous, that is clear, the whole team is blessed by this, and feel a great increase in confidence.
At noon on that day, the team finally followed the designated trial route to the Vashaalir Forest, which is known as the "Hunting Treasure House". This dense forest on the southwestern side of the continent of Cangus, north of the former Seventh Dome station, dates almost as far back as the birth of the first civilizations on Gaia.
So as soon as they arrived in this vicinity, everyone began to sigh.
Looking at the towering tree that is hundreds of meters high and can't be hugged by more than a dozen people, how can it not be embarrassing.
"Good boy! It wasn't very far away just now, but now I look at it like this...... I'll go! Jinnyima is scary! The fat man lay his head and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see the crown there, and he could only see the vigorous branches as if they had pierced into the sky.
"This is an ancient pine, its vitality is extremely tenacious, but its growth rate is also extremely slow, like this tall ancient pine, it must be more than three million years old." Xiao Sumi stepped forward with excitement as she spoke, and she touched this miracle of life with her trembling hands, her eyes flickering.
"How much?!! More than three million years old? That can't be a sperm?! The fat man was frightened by this, and he also stepped forward and raised his hand to touch it, the appearance of this ancient pine was very smooth, but when it was stroked down, the texture was as rough as rusty metal.
Such a weird feeling made the fat man snort constantly.
"I've seen some records on the trees before, and the humans in the period of King Xin had cut down the ancient pine on a large scale, and really found traces of the existence of similar souls in this ancient life, so it is not impossible for Brother Jin to become a refinement." Sumi's movements were much gentler, and she looked at the subtle flashes of water between the textures, and then looked at the burning heat felt in the wetness of her fingertips, and the amazement in her heart was even greater.
"Ouch, I'm good! The more you talk about it, the more scary it gets! I think I'd better stay away, the thing it off, maybe it really eats me. The fat man ran away with that, provoking the others to laugh at him.
Sumi watched for a while and then returned to the group.
At this time, the "worker bees" [scout robot code name] released by No. 72 also returned to their nests, and after looking at the data, she turned around and said: "Okay, don't talk, after entering the forest from here, you can walk five kilometers to reach the temporary assembly point, and the outpost there can provide us with the safest hunting guarantee, so hurry up, don't wait until it gets dark to be chased around." ”
The people knew about it, and they did not delay any longer.
As we marched deeper into the forest, we saw more and more Akan Ancient Pines, a miraculous presence in this even more ancient forest that was as young as a young baby, because it was too young compared to some of the other plants that didn't look good.
"Oh my God! Is this true? "After walking for five minutes, everyone saw an old stream, and by the stream, under the shade of the trees, small flowers that shimmered under the water appeared on the incomparably smooth stones that had been impacted.
It's small, but it has a striking light.
The light was milky white, but when it faded, it was a blue color.
As soon as Sumi saw this thing, she immediately ran quickly.
Seeing this, Lin Sen hurriedly followed.
No. 72 shouted: "Don't leave the team!" Give me back! ”
However, the little girl's movements were too fast, and when No. 72 shouted, Sumi had already descended to the stream by the side of the road, and her hand was less than ten centimeters away from the little flower.
And just when Su Mi was about to pick one and observe it carefully, Lin Sen arrived in time to pull her back.
At the same time, the original gurgling tranquility was broken, and a snake-like species that was completely integrated with the environment soared up, and the grinning pitch-black mouthparts Nathan's cold teeth flashed with a strange green light.
You don't have to think about it to know that this thing is extremely poisonous.
In the moment of lightning, Lin Sen's speed once again played a key role, he not only pulled Su Mi back from the Ghost Gate, but also slashed the thing into several pieces with a knife in his hand.
"Oops!" Sumi exclaimed, her eyes closed, her body curled up.
Then she was sent back to the road by Lin Sen, and was pulled behind by the fat man.
After doing all this, Lin Sen looked at the strange creature that was still wriggling at his feet, and watched its dark blue blood gradually seep into the silt, and then the silt turned green and bubbled because of the toxicity, Lin Sen frowned, and said secretly: "What a terrible thing......
At the same time, Lin Sen also abandoned the dagger, because it had been corroded by poison.
"Dig a rub! What the hell! Can titanium steel corrode? The fat man's eyes were straight.
Everyone was silent, but Pan Mo suddenly said: "It's a worm, there is also this kind of thing in the depths of the mountains over there!" They're poisonous! A single worm can poison thousands of pythons! The great chief of our former tribe was almost killed by this thing! ”
The crowd was completely speechless when they heard this.
It's only been a long time since you've been in the forest, and you've been so surprised?
And after that? Isn't hunting something even more terrifying?!
So after everyone tacitly glanced at each other, they had a common idea.
'This is not here to hunt!' I'm here to die......
Just when everyone's face was cloudy, No. 72 suddenly leaned over and said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, what a worm is just an alienated insect!" Looking at its toxicity, it should have eaten the sub-core to cause strong corrosiveness. ”
Saying that, No. 72 also shared the results of the analysis.
When everyone looks at the comparison results, isn't it the most common "decomposer" insect in the garbage heap?
After saying this, Pan Mo blushed, he scratched his head, and said with a stupid smile: "Oops! Excuse me! It's me admitting my mistake! It's me admitting my mistake! ”
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the fat man glared at Pan Mo even more angrily: "How can you, a man on the grassland, be so dishonest!" Do you know that what you just said almost scared me to death! ”
Pan Mo was even more embarrassed when he heard this: "Ouch! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't talk nonsense anymore! No more nonsense! ”
Everyone here was laughing and laughing, but one of them noticed that Lin Sen had remained calm from beginning to end, and his eyes had been removed from the insects at his feet early.
What is he looking at?
Bloodbeard Cook followed Lin Sen's gaze.
Looking at those little flowers? Is this flower really so magical?
Just thinking about it, No. 72 said in a loud voice: "Okay, don't talk about it!" Hurry up and hit the road! When is it going to go! Hurry up! With that, No. 72 led the team on.
Lin Sen glanced at the team, and then silently followed.
After walking for a while, the foot injury attacked, and it could only be carried by Lin Sen.
Carrying it on its back, the speed of the team has increased a lot.
Finally, just before sunset, Team 303 arrived at the special assembly point buried deep underground.
The rallying point is a fortress structure, which is embedded in the ground like a cauldron, and can only be seen through an observation hole less than five centimeters apart from the entrance.
The fortress was fifteen meters in diameter and had five rest rooms, a small canteen, a public bath, and two armament warehouses.
The fortress powered by the meta-form fusion core inside could continue to operate for up to a hundred years, so when everyone arrived, they happily relieved themselves of the fatigue they had been having.
After washing up, they ate a big meal, and then rotated their guard according to the requirements of No. 72, and the rest of the personnel rested and waited for the next day's hunt to begin.
