Chapter 53: Interference
Lu Tianyu didn't need to think about the planting of holy fruit trees, whether he could plant them successfully or not had nothing to do with him, and he faintly hoped that the expedition team could not find a way to plant holy fruit trees. What I have to worry about now is the safety of the road. The task of guarding the expedition team fell to himself and Danny, and the Amazon River could no longer be driven, so he could only drive two hovercraft through the swamps on the south bank.
This is not a natural swamp, and the swamp in nature does not grow trees that shade the sky, and driving in this swamp is more like driving in a huge labyrinth. The top of the head is like a canopy, when the weather is fine, the sun can be sprinkled on the ground, to the cloudy, rainy day, the surrounding is dark and can not see the direction at all, now is the rainy season of the Amazon, sometimes the sky seems to be pierced, the size of soybeans raindrops day and night, the heavy rain can make the surrounding water soar half a meter, when you wake up in the morning, the first feeling as if you are in the ocean.
The rain from the Amazon came and went quickly, and sometimes the expedition was driving through the swamps, and suddenly the sky darkened, and then the waterfall poured down. By the time the expedition team found a high ground or a big tree and was ready to camp in the open, the weather was like a three-month-old child's face changing, sometimes it was sunny and sometimes it was rainy.
This kind of weather is very common in the Amazon rainy season, that is, the members of the expedition team suffered, the clothes on their bodies did not dry through at all, they were always sticky, and the whole body could be watery if they were not fully prepared with medical equipment, it was estimated that it would not take two days, and everyone was sick and could not get up.
At this time, the expedition team looked very funny, the men were all wearing a huge straw hat on their heads, and they were naked except for a pair of dirty pants, and only a pair of rain boots were left on the soles of their feet. Anything to wear in such weather is superfluous, the temperature can rise to thirty or forty degrees during the day, and the surrounding area is like a huge sauna, and the temperature drops to more than ten degrees at night.
The man is better, anyway, this is a primeval forest, there is no market for etiquette and clothing here, and I don't care what I wear, even if I don't wear anything, it's useless, and it feels strange, which makes Ina who loves beauty bitter.
At the beginning, Ina was still wearing a denim outfit, afraid that the hot sun would burn her skin, and her head was wrapped in a mask of fine veil, which looked a little weird. Ina is very satisfied with her image, especially standing in a group of expedition members who look like savages, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd, constantly showing off.
In less than a day, Ina couldn't stand it anymore, her clothes seemed to be on her skin, and she could hear the sound of water coming out of her clothes as she walked. Ina changed into a silk casual dress, the turquoise dress was like a lotus flower in the water, and the breeze was like a fairy in the wind, which looked pleasing to the eye. However, the hovercraft made its way through the swamp, and the dense branches soon tore Ina's clothes to tatters, like broken flowers and willows.
Angry, Ina found a one-piece swimsuit, the red swimsuit set off the snow-white skin, and the delicate body was reflected in the water, making the man on the hovercraft drool, and almost drove the hovercraft to the tree several times.
The biggest obstacle in navigating in the forest is that you can't accurately identify the direction, and since entering the area, the navigation equipment has been difficult to use from time to time. Those Zoe guides only knew the general direction, and now that they were in the water country, the previous terrain and landform had long since ceased to exist, and looking at the Zoe people's nonsense, they really couldn't see where the holy fruit tree grew.
Danny was a little angry, and he was crazy to kill the two Zoe people, because they had been wandering around the forest and water country with the expedition for ten days, and then the expedition team would all be handed over to this forest.
There is a limit to man's patience, and now there is no hope, so everyone has the idea of returning, and no matter how good the holy fruit tree is, it is not precious to use their lives.
Ina's enthusiasm has long passed, surrounded by trees or water, and at the beginning she was still in the mood to enjoy the scenery, but after a few days she got bored, and the whole person was lying lazily on the hovercraft, except for the undulating chest and dull eyes, there was no spirit to see.
Appreciating other people's expressions has become the happiest pleasure of his day, and countless expressions of frustration, unwillingness, anger and confusion hang on his face, just waiting for Danny to give an order to go home.
Ina lay on the boat, her slender thighs resting on Lu Tianyu's stomach and said, "Tianyu, do you think we can find the holy fruit tree." ”
Lu Tianyu leaned on the side of the boat, holding the computer in his hand and fiddling with the sky, trying to find the satellite navigation signal: "For me, whether I find it or not, it's not something I need to care about." ”
Ivan drove the rudder of the hovercraft, looked into the distance and said: "We should have walked more than three hundred miles in the past few days, and we should have arrived, why is there no sign of finding it soon." ”
There was a serious interference signal on the computer screen, it was fine just now, why did it suddenly have a problem, is it water ingress, or no power. I checked it and found nothing wrong, snowflakes appeared on the computer screen and everything was fine.
Lu Tianyu threw the computer in his backpack and flipped out the navigator, the same snowflakes were still on the screen, this was repaired by himself only yesterday, and he was counting on the navigator to take him back.
The sunlight above his head is very poisonous, and he will be dizzy when he looks up for a while, and he turns out a mechanical compass from his backpack, which is much easier to use than sophisticated electronic instruments, and it will not be bad after entering the water, so he is ready to see if the direction of the expedition is right.
The needle of the compass does not point to the north, but keeps turning around, so there is something wrong with the original compass.
"Stop the boat and go back now! Come ......", Lu Tianyu moved Ina's thigh on his body, jumped up and pointed behind him.
Ina said unhappily: "Tianyu, what are you crazy about, why are you going, is there something wrong?" ”
Danny saw that the hovercraft behind him stopped, and also sat on the stern of the boat and shouted to the hovercraft behind him: "What's wrong, why don't you leave", Danny was afraid that someone would suddenly raise objections at this time, even if someone said more, the expedition would be abandoned halfway.
Lu Tianyu pointed to the water surface and said, "We are going around in circles now, you can see the water flow under us, and the compass in our hands." ”
Everyone looked down at the water next to the boat, and said with a puzzled expression: "No problem, it's calm?" ”
"It's too calm, isn't it? The Amazon River should flow from west to east, but there is no trace of the water flowing now, and we should be far from the riverbank. ”
As soon as Lu Tianyu said, everyone couldn't help but nodded, at the beginning, the expedition team drove east in the direction of the river, and now there is no trace of flowing on the water, which is obviously far away from the river bank, but this does not explain why Lu Tianyu went back.
Lu Tianyu raised the compass in his hand high and said: "You see, now the compass has failed, which means that there is a powerful source of interference around us, maybe we have approached the holy fruit tree, or entered a magnetic field, so we must go back and find the right direction before walking." ”
Although the instruments used by the expedition team were already very advanced, everyone was still equipped with a mechanical compass, and when they heard Lu Tianyu say that the compass was out of order, they remembered that there was still a compass.
"It's really out of order, how is it possible."
"Why is this happening, so is mine, it can't be broken", Leopold asked one of the stupidest and most brain-dead questions in the world.
Danny, who was born in special forces, immediately realized the possibility of what Lu Tianyu said, "Lu Tianyu, can you deduce our current location and position now?" ”
"This is impossible, since yesterday, there has been something wrong with the instruments on the body, and now these instruments are not available at all, so we can only retreat to our camp last night, and then use the three-point positioning method to mark a route, otherwise we will easily get lost."
Danny was a little unwilling, and he would lose two days of travel back and forth, "Is there no other way?" ”
It is not difficult to find the correct direction, the positioning of the sun, the positioning of the tree rings and the positioning of the stars, etc., the question is where the expedition team is on the map now, how big the interference area is, whether it is close to the range of the holy fruit tree, these Lu Tianyu does not know.
Ivan whispered: "Lu Tianyu, since we are now in the interference zone, we should not be far from the Holy Fruit Tree, or we will look around separately, maybe we can find the Holy Fruit Tree." ”
"How can you tell that it must be the interference of the holy fruit tree, not the interference of craters, volcanoes, and geomagnetism, what if something happens?" Is Ivan crazy about the holy fruit tree, and wants to let the expedition team accompany him on the adventure.
Leopold, who was in the same boat as himself, immediately echoed: "Ivan is right, the Holy Fruit Tree is a huge energy body, and it is normal to interfere. Since there is a source of interference here, indicating that we are not far from the sacred fruit tree, I suggest that the expedition team split up and meet here. ”
"Two madmen," Lu Tianyu cursed in his heart.
Before he could object, Danny proposed: "Yes, my ship will search to the right front, you search to the left front, keep a certain distance between the two ships, if the holy fruit tree is not found after half an hour, then return here to meet and discuss the next step." ”
The "three madmen", no one paid attention to their own suggestions, although the method was a little conservative, but it was the safest and safest way.
As soon as Ina heard that she could see the Holy Fruit Tree, she also jumped up and said, "Okay, you must find the Holy Fruit Tree today." ”
"Crazy, a group of crazy people, the whole world is crazy", a crazy person is not terrible, I am afraid that I am afraid that there are crazy people around me, how can I be with a group of crazy people, and I want no one to live.
