29. The storm is coming

After cleaning up the debris at the scene, Phil Coulson took Li Yue and Arthur on a S.H.I.E.L.D. speedboat.

The whole team slowly drove in the direction of the mercenary's escape in the form of three speedboats taking care of each other on the river, and the underwater fishmen covered the way.

During this period, Phil Coulson didn't say a word, quietly looked at Jones's diary, and got to know the old man who dedicated his life to S.H.I.E.L.D. from a new perspective.

"What's wrong with him? It feels weird. After glancing at Phil Coulson, Arthur turned to Li Yue and asked.

"Phil has a special sense of substitution for the dead Jones." Li Yue took a banana from the fruit bowl on the table and put it in his backpack and said, "They are all from the same era, and Jones can be regarded as Phil's predecessor." ”

"So?"

"So Phil plans to teach those bastards what it means to respect the old and love the young."

Hearing Li Yue's explanation, Phil Colson closed his notebook and said, "I don't want to teach them what it means to respect the old and love the young, I just want to leave them on the Amazon riverbed forever." ”

"Not bad idea, but unfortunately, they've abandoned ship and headed into the woods." Li Yue smiled and said to Phil, "Now it's become an interesting chase battle. ”

It was the shouts of the agents coming from the side of the ship, and Phil Coulson immediately stood up and stepped out of the cabin to look out.

On the river, Jones's old boat floated silently in front of a wooden fence made of dead trees.

The ship was even more dilapidated than it had been rehearsed, the glass of the front window had been completely shattered, bullet holes were all over the walls of the cabin, and on the deck lay a giant python that had been dead for an unknown amount of time.

Its exposed part of the river is two meters long, about the size of a wine barrel, and if you open your mouth with all your might, you can easily swallow a leopard or a person.

"Stay close to it, it might have the information we need." Phil Coulson said to the helmsman.

The speedboat slowly approached—probably for fear that the serpent was not dead, and that the oars were rolling too fast and would wake it up.

Li Yue, who deduced the possibility of the performance, of course, would not suffer that crime with Phil Coulson, he snapped his fingers, and the fish-man who was patrolling underwater floated up, climbed onto the wrecked ship, and took out two standard assault rifles and a knife sprayed with S.H.I.E.L.D. marks from inside.

After taking the knife and gun and examining them, Phil Coulson's face darkened again.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. Task Force Standard Weapon." Phil Coulson unloaded his magazine and said, "Equipment and weapons have been provided to these mercenaries. ”

Li Yue smiled slightly and said, "We also go ashore from here, and there are a few indigenous houses in front of us that can help us avoid the upcoming storm." ”

When Phil Coulson heard about the storm, he immediately ordered the agents to drop anchor and tie up the speedboat to unload the supplies.

As a veteran agent, Phil Coulson naturally knows what a storm during the flood season means.

If they didn't deal with these speedboats and supplies, even if they found the blood orchid, they would have to swim back to Congo.

The 'biting fish' (Paku piranha: specifically attacks male eggs) and 'urethral fish' (parasitic catfish: small Amazonian fish that burrows into the urethra if urinated in the water, requiring surgery to get out. Think about how sour it is to have such a little thing there. Definitely two things that Phil Coulson is not willing to face.

With the full cooperation of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and kobolds, the three speedboats were finally ready to deal with the storm before the storm approached.

The fish people carried the supplies and quickly advanced towards the place Li Yue had guided.

It was said to be an indigenous house, but when Phil Coulson arrived, it was actually more like an abandoned village.

The wooden structure is very rough, and the traces of the house can be seen through the cracks in the wood, and the dead grass is built on the roof to protect itself from the rain, but it also makes the place very wet.

Fortunately, the floor is not made of wood, but is made of earth, which makes it possible for people to make a fire in the house.

"How long do we need to stay here?" Phil Colson asked Li Yue.

"The storm will stop tomorrow at noon or in the afternoon." Li Yue and Arthur collected some wood from the corner of the wall, and said without a head, "Don't worry about the mercenaries escaping at all." Without boats, Caimans and Monty Pythons will entertain them for us in the midst of a storm – and they're not fools. ”

After Li Yue piled up the wood, he borrowed the kobold's candle to light the bonfire, and the warm breath immediately dispelled the cold brought by the Amazon forest.

"Go and get the agents to prepare the hammocks, no one is allowed to sleep on the floor tonight." Li Yue looked at Phil Coulson standing in place and said, "I will ask the kobolds and fishmen to collect firewood and food." ”

"Do what?"

"I think you're getting stupid, Bill. Eating and resting, of course. Li Yue smiled and said, "If you don't want to go hungry tomorrow or be attacked by wild beasts, just do as I say." ”

Phil Colson pursed his lips, and could only follow Li Yue's instructions to make arrangements, after all, he couldn't deduce.

When the materials were all hung high on the roof beams according to Li Yue's requirements, and the hammocks were ready, the lightning flashes, thunder, and storms came instantly.

Thumb-sized raindrops swept through the forest in an instant, and the sound of crackling raindrops hitting objects echoed in Phil Coulson's ears.

Hopefully, the rain would stop the mercenaries from advancing, Phil Coulson thought, stroking his arm.

Unlike Phil Coulson, Li Yue, Arthur, and their armed monsters are roasting arapaima caught from the Amazon River around a few bonfires.

Unfortunately, there was no cook among the armed monsters created by Li Yue, and Arthur could only be tired of going into battle shirtless alone during the whole process. But fortunately, after the agents finished their business, they all came to help, so that this dinner was not wasted.

After everyone finished eating, Li Yue specially advised, "You are not allowed to go to the toilet at night, you are not allowed to turn over and get out of bed, and you can sleep with peace of mind." ”

Why do you say that, Phil Coulson didn't understand until the night when he watched the river slowly rise, flooding the foot of the house, and the red-bellied piranha swimming past him.

"This time the storm was really big." Phil Coulson swallowed his saliva and said to Li Yue, who was lying very steadily on the other side of the hammock.

"Don't talk, Phil. Be quiet. Listen to the voices outside. Li Yue said with a smile.

Phil Coulson closed his mouth and listened intently to the sound of raindrops falling outside the house, which seemed to be mixed with crying.

"That's?"

"An abandoned mercenary." Li Yue said with a smile, "Don't worry, he can't die, at most he has to suffer, not as comfortable as us." ”
