Chapter 4 Capsizing

In the vast darkness of the night, everyone did not dare to drive the engine of the motorboat, so they let the river drive and quietly drifted down the river under the cover of night, passing through the many canyons of the deep water and rapids of the gorge, and rushing downstream.

Until the dawn of the drift, I don't know where the drift has been, although it has been a long time, but it is estimated that the distant destination, it is impossible to arrive so quickly, so I don't worry about exceeding.

After a night of intense and depressing smuggling, everyone was exhausted, in a trance, and in urgent need of rest.

Just when everyone was debating whether they should dock first and rest before moving on the motorboat drifting downstream, they didn't expect that a drastic change had happened!

The river is relatively narrow, the drop is relatively large, and the riverbed is full of jagged rocks, which hold the water rushing and roaring.

The motorboat began to jolt in the turbulent river, and everyone was a little panicked and was about to start the motor, after all, the strength of the machine was stronger than the weak manpower to fight the raging river.

But before Niu Gang started the motor, he heard a loud "bang", and then the motorboat shook suddenly, and the front end was shattered.

However, it turned out to hit a huge rock hidden in the river.

Everyone was caught off guard, and directly rolled forward with inertia and rushed out.

When rolling on the motorboat, it either hit people or hit the hull of the boat, causing everyone to scream in pain.

Coupled with the sudden impact, violent tremors and unprepared upheavals and panic, everyone was at a loss in the flying air, and they all screamed and smashed into the rolling river.

After a "plop" sound, everyone in the "Eight Immortals" expedition fell into the river.

Although the temperature in the tropical rainforest in the morning was extremely hot, the Dulong River, which was abundant in water, was cold and biting, causing everyone to shiver and shiver one after another.

When they were on the boat, everyone just carried their backpacks and "74" flamethrowers, and carried the individual combat system in their arms, so when everyone flew out, the equipment and equipment were not abandoned on the boat.

But after falling into the water, everyone's situation is completely different.

Those who know how to swim in the water with their weights are struggling, and they struggle to the shore.

Among these eight people, only Han Debang can't water, or with his water nature, in such a turbulent river, there is no big difference between not knowing water.

After falling into the river, he choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and this guy screamed and kept fluttering, and he couldn't even shout for help.

Under these circumstances, his individual combat system sank into the river and disappeared.

Fortunately, Bai Yunfei, Niu Gang, Li Yulan and others are very water-based, and while struggling to swim to the shore, they do not forget to take care of their companions who are less water-based.

Bai Yunfei and Niu Gang dragged and dragged Han Debang, who kept choking and shouting, to the shore.

The water here is turbulent, the river surface fluctuates, and in some places it is even divided by boulders hidden under the water surface, forming a group of hidden currents like "big water bags".

Although they were hit on the boulder several times by the torrent, they also endured the pain and swam to the shore by the momentum.

The canyon where this section of the Dulong River is located, the mountains on both sides are high and steep, the vegetation is dense, and there are some unknown weeping willow-like plants growing on the bank of the river, which just fall into the river water, driven by the torrent and swaying constantly.

When everyone swam to the shore, they grabbed these vine-like hanging plants and trembled and climbed on the shore.

The heavy equipment is indeed too heavy, and it is difficult to carry it even on land, let alone floating in the water?

The crowd felt very struggling and had to find a way to get out of the river and climb to the bank to be safe.

Otherwise, after a long time, there will inevitably be danger in this turbulent and unknowable river.

Bai Yunfei tried to pull the unknown weeping willow-like plant, and found that it was extremely tough, and it should not be a problem to pull it upwards.

So he put the individual combat system in his arms on this hard vine, tangled it with vines, and then hung the "Type 74" flamethrower on the vines, and climbed up the river bank with his backpack.

Everyone looked up at him below, all paddling on the surface of the river, with vines dragging them, and there was no danger for the time being.

But there was no rush to climb up, because it was not yet known whether the high, steep bank would be conducive to climbing and passing, and someone had to find a way out before deciding on a course of action.

Bai Yunfei had actually just come out of the cold river water, and his body was a little stiff, but he didn't want his teammates to take risks, so he volunteered to rush up first.

Climbing up these unknown vine-like plants, Bai Yunfei used all the skills he had to lay a good foundation in the army, and climbed rapidly with all his strength.

After climbing more than 20 meters, the river cliff finally changed from a steep straight to a gentle slope.

Here, people can already rest by dragging vines, climbing rocky slopes, or leaning against strange trees.

So he shouted to the river below, and told everyone to climb up with confidence.

After informing everyone, he stuck his rucksack at the root of a strange tree that was growing obliquely, and then climbed back down the cliff along the unknown vines.

Since the banks of the river were full of these unknown vines, everyone saw that there was a place to settle on it, so they each climbed the vines that they had in their hands, and they all climbed upwards.

Of course, it is very unrealistic to climb this cliff with all your equipment on your back.

So like Bai Yunfei, everyone first tied some equipment to the vines, put some of them on their backs, and then came down to take off the lower ones.

In this way, everyone tossed for a while, and the people and equipment were all on it.

Everyone leaned or fell, gasping for breath and resting.

I was already forcibly smuggled overnight, and I was physically and mentally tired, but before I could rest, the boat capsized accident.

So they hurriedly ate some food, and went up the gentle slope to find a corner of the river that faced a little south, so that there was a sunny place.

Everyone took off their clothes to dry, and Li Yulan turned to a few trees behind the stone slope because it was inconvenient to be with everyone, so she could also bask in the sun and take off her clothes that were soaked in the river water to dry.

But because

Because the backpack was full of water, the spare clothes and other utensils inside were wet, so I didn't have a dry change, so I had to lie on the rocks exposed among the dense vegetation like I was wearing a swimsuit.

In the sun, everyone fell asleep in fatigue.

This time, Bai Yunfei did not let everyone take turns on duty, firstly, because although it is sparsely populated here, it is not a burial dungeon with heavy organs after all, and secondly, if there are snakes, ants and beasts, there are special medicine treatments, and on such a steep river cliff, large beasts are not easy to come.

In this way, everyone slept in the sun on the sunny rocky slope for several hours, until the sun was in the middle of the day, and the sun was already unbearable, and the clothes were already dry, so everyone began to pack up.

Cao Longxuan raised his wrist and scrutinized his high-tech watch.

He had to admire this watch, it was not bad when it entered the water, it was not damaged when it was bumped, and it also had a positioning function.

Cao Longxuan flipped out a plastic map of Southeast Asia, looked at the watch on his wrist, and compared them with each other.

In the end, he concluded: "We should be in northern Burma, in the northern gorge of the Hugang Valley in Kachin State, and it will be a three- or four-day walk from the Shan State Plateau dwelling, where Wei Baobao is located." ”

Bai Yunfei looked at the map in his hand and added, "If this person is in the Shan Plateau, then the nearest and best way to take is to cross the Hugang Valley. ”

In this way, everyone formed a plan of action, regrouped, supported each other, and trekked with difficulty on the bank of the canyon where the Dulong River is located, and slowly marched towards the Hugang Valley.

By dusk, the crowd had left the river bank and entered the Hugang Valley.

The Hugang Valley in Kachin State in northern Myanmar is located on the border between China and Myanmar, where it is densely forested, tree-lined and humid and warm.

After entering the Hugang Valley, along the way, everyone found many bones, large and small, some of which had rotted in the mud and dead branches and leaves, and it was almost impossible to tell that they were bones.

And some of them are because of the huge body of such animals before their deaths, and only one skeleton is shocking to stand, which is breathtaking.

And as everyone groped forward, some precious amber fossils were discovered.

It is estimated that about 100 million years ago, gymnosperms were everywhere, and the resin they shed would envelop some animals, forming amber over time.

The amber here is 100 million years old, at the beginning of the Late Cretaceous period.

And this assertion was made by Wang Ziming, who is proficient in biology, and several other people at the same time.

With the continuous in-depth, many animal amber has been discovered, including: 100 million years ago "traveling frog", 100 million years ago complete ancient bird "pancake bird", 100 million years old ancient bird tail feather details, the first snake amber "Burmese golden snake", 100 million years ago mesomorphic crustacean amber and so on.

Wang Ziming said that every discovery of amber here shocked the paleontological community at that time, especially the news of the discovery of snake amber, which also amazed the general public.

If it weren't for the fact that Cao Longxuan was trying to trace the lost triangular crystal plates of his ancestors, then an interesting paleontological excavation could be done here

Explore.

It was even more difficult to walk through the valley at night, and after a while, everyone became tired.

Of course, the heavy load, the damp air, and the empty environment make people physically and mentally exhausted.

So they found a few tall tropical trees, climbed them, cut some branches with a mountain opener, and built a few temporary tree houses on top of the trees.

I also used vines to weave some cut plantain leaves, and used this huge leaf as a roof, which also had a hole in the sky and had some camping atmosphere.

It is better to rest in the primeval forest in this way than to camp and sleep on the ground, because the ground is damp and the threat of predators and snakes and insects is greater.

When resting in the trees, although the head and face are still tightly wrapped with extra clothes, they are still bombarded by mosquitoes.

Moreover, these mosquitoes in the tropical rainforest seem to be exceptionally large and powerful, and even their chirping sounds are much higher-pitched.

So it was so annoying that everyone couldn't sleep at all, and then they were really sleepy, so they gradually fell asleep.

Bai Yunfei and Niu Gang and Lu Wuyang are three people in a tree, close to Cao Longxuan's tree, before going to bed, Bai Yunfei drove away mosquitoes while discussing the next action with Cao Longxuan.

Cao Longxuan believes that the guy who sells ancestral treasure maps on the Internet is a drug addict, and there are many armed factions in Myanmar, so it is estimated that after finding him, he may not be able to get in touch peacefully.

Everyone agrees with his statement, after all, a major case like the "Mekong River Massacre" that shocked the world is a real occurrence.

And Bai Yunfei said:

"Xiao Dezi's individual combat system was lost in the river, and if he really went deep into the so-called 'Immortal Beast Country' next, it would definitely be a big trouble.

The 'Immortal Beast Country' doesn't need to think about it, it must be more dangerous and treacherous than the primeval forest outside.

And without the individual combat system for self-defense, it is difficult to move in this primeval forest, let alone in that strange world full of unknown risks. ”

Everyone agrees with him.

Niu Gang scolded Han Debang for being a wreck, and he couldn't even take care of his body.

Han Debang did not show weakness, and scolded back:

"You stupid and stupid bull and breeding cow, don't you know that Young Master Ben is not good at water? Is that broken thing important, or is Young Master Ben's life important? ”

The two laughed and played for a while, and everyone couldn't stand the successive fatigue actions and accidents, although the mosquito attack was serious, they still fell asleep one after another.
