Chapter Seventy-Three: The Mystery of the Black Bamboo Ditch 1
"What's the problem?" I asked curiously, because we have not gone wrong according to the route on the GPS positioning.
Zheng Tian replied: "You know that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. ”
I nodded: "Nonsense, this elementary school student knows it." What exactly are you trying to say? ”
Zheng Tian then pointed to the top of his head, and said with a puzzled expression: "Look, it's sunset, and it stands to reason that the sun above your head should be in the west, but you can take a look at the direction marked by the GPS in my hand." ”
I leaned my head over, looked at the GPS in Zheng Tian's hand, and couldn't help but be surprised: the direction of the sun above my head was actually shown in the GPS to be east. ”
"Yes...... Is your navigation broken? I asked, confused.
"No way, it's fine before entering the mountain." Zheng Tian shook his head.
At this time, Elanlin's brows also furrowed, and she showed the GPS in her hand and said, "My direction is the same as his, and I also point to the east." ”
I compared the navigation in Zheng Tian and Ai Lanlin's hands, and the pointing and positioning of the two are indeed exactly the same. But what is it that the sun does not rise in the west and does not set in the east?
"Could it be that the fog and mountains are disturbing our vision and making us mistakenly look in the opposite direction of the sun?" Zheng Tian said what he thought.
", unless your eyes are slanted." I replied.
"At present, it seems that the most likely scenario is that the GPS is disturbed by some abnormal magnetic field, so there is a disorder." Alan Lin said, looking at the navigation in her hand.
Ai Lanlin's explanation is quite reliable, I have long heard that strange things happen frequently in this black bamboo ditch, and the reason why many well-prepared travelers will lose contact in it is largely due to the abnormal magnetic field in the local area, which makes their communication equipment, compass, and GPS fail......
Thinking of this, a huge sense of hesitation hit my whole body, if the GPS in our hands is some kind of interference, the use of failure, then the coordinates we are positioning are fundamentally wrong, to say, we have been walking in no direction since we entered the mountain...... In other words, not only will we not be able to bring back the person we need to find, but we may not even be able to get out of it ourselves.
"If navigation is useless, then it is impossible for us to find the person in the coordinates, so for now, let's find the way back first, and think about it in the long term after we get out." I spoke.
Zheng Tian naturally supported me, but Ai Lanlin seemed hesitant, and it seemed that the person we were going to pick up was really important.
After a moment of silence, Alan Lin spoke: "I'll contact the person in charge of the second batch of exploration teams first. ”
Then she tried to make a satellite call, but unfortunately she couldn't get through at all, and there was always a sizzling electric current sound coming from the phone.
"Satellite phones are also being interfered with? I have the impression that the satellite phone can be reached anywhere! Zheng Tian asked anxiously.
"Under normal circumstances, it can be connected, unless electromagnetic suppression interferes with the communication frequency." Alan Lin put down the phone, her eyes full of worry.
"Are we going to be stuck here, then? Do you remember the way you came? Zheng Tian said in panic.
"It's all tall trees that look exactly the same, and we don't have signs to make them, so who remembers the road?" I sighed when I finished speaking.
"Let's go back and see." Elanlyn put away the satellite phone and said.
Then we groped back by feeling, but after nearly half an hour, we not only did not find the entrance when we entered, but walked more and more off.
"It's over, it's no joke to get lost in this deep mountain and old forest." Zheng Tian said dejectedly.
"What's worse is that we don't have much food with us at all, and if we can't get out within 24 hours, I'm afraid we'll have to finish it." I said.
"Chengzi, I remember if you don't know how to see the shape of the mountain? You can see the road by looking at it, and now that you're doing it, I don't want to take my life here without knowing it. Zheng Tian looked at me expectantly and said.
I shook my head: "We are in the middle of a large mountain, and we don't have a wide field of vision at all, what do you tell me to see?" ”
"Alas, no wonder your Uncle Dao always says that you are a half-ass."
"Hey, how did you kid educate me? I'll tell you......"
Before I could finish my sentence, I was suddenly interrupted by Elanlin. She made a "shh
She suddenly became so cautious, she must have noticed something, and sure enough, after quieting down, I noticed a strange "rustle" sound.
I immediately pricked up my ears to carefully identify the direction of the sound, and just as I was concentrating, a sharp and piercing cry suddenly came from a towering tree to my left, which immediately startled the birds in the tree to scatter.
I was stunned in my heart, I froze in place and didn't dare to move, Zheng Tian was no better, holding a broken crossbow and aiming around, my body trembling. Alan Lin behaved very calmly, she shrewdly observed the ancient tree, and then pointed to the intertwined figures between the branches and said, "What are you panicking, it's just a wild monkey." ”
I was relieved to see that it was a monkey and not some monster, but after a few moments, a heart rose to my throat. In the wild, wild monkeys have injured people and snatched food accidents from time to time, and now these monkeys are so arrogant, could it be that they want to rob us halfway?
It seemed to prove my point, first one or two monkeys leaned out and jumped at us, then four or five, and finally a dozen, and they jumped up and down, not attacking directly, but forming the three of us in a circle, constantly making very threatening noises.
I was bitter and didn't know what to do. After a little observation of the monkeys, I found that they were much larger than I had in mind, and I thought they were individuals if I didn't look closely.
The monkeys demonstrated around us for a while, one of them was bold and suddenly rushed to my door, I hurriedly raised my hand to block, who knew that the monkey was very sensitive, and jumped on my arm, just face to face with it, it bared its teeth and smiled at me with contempt, I didn't know what it was going to do, and the next second this guy spat on my face.
I felt nauseous and tried to punch it, but the was so sensitive that it jumped behind me to open my bag! I shook it desperately, but it was so tight that I couldn't shake it off. Fortunately, Zheng Tian ran over in time to rip this guy off my back and save my backpack.
The monkeys became even more agitated when they saw the loss of the first move, and then four or five more dared at us came at us, and I immediately drew my dagger and waved it to intimidate them, when I saw one of them suddenly jump up on Elanlin, and take her by the neck to tear her clothes.
Scold! It's still a colored monkey! I was about to go up to relieve the siege, but I saw that she had already grabbed the monkey neatly and threw it far away.
It seems that this woman does have some means.
