Chapter 2: Palatri (II)
Chapter 2: Palateri (Part II)
The sound of the wind brought a slight footstep, there was no fire, a person was about 75 meters away, the jungle at night was really a sentence that could not be seen without five fingers, if it weren't for Lin Xi's hearing, he couldn't find it at all, the footsteps of the people came as if the wind carried the fallen leaves, "No, there are people in the distance", only to see the fire in the distance flashed
Lin Xi jumped down from the tree with his agile skills, rolled forward to unload and rushed to Chongli, picked up the little jaguar and turned around and ran during the forward roll, at this time he didn't care about being discovered, and shouted while running, "Old man, Uncle Su, hurry up, there are so many people, the back road has been cut off." ”
was shouting, Lin Xi suddenly felt the hair on his back, there was a burning feeling in his ears, and he quickly rolled forward, "Oh" has been grazing Lin Xi's scalp and flew into the trunk in front of him.
Father Lin and Su Qin didn't care about packing their bags, one grabbed a backpack, turned around and ran in the opposite direction of Lin Xi, Lin Xi ran through the camp and brought his own backpack, and he didn't care about the tent, threw the little jaguar into the bag, and chased after Lin Father in three steps and two steps, although Lin Father and the two fled into the woods first, but they couldn't see the five fingers in the dark, how could they still distinguish between the south, east, west, and northwest, and could only stop, Lin Xi came back and relied on the night vision function of the glasses to lead the way, and ran wildly, and stopped after nearly half an hour, At this time, Su Qin was already out of breath.
"I said old fellow, your physical fitness is too bad," Father Lin gasped slightly, mocking his old partner
"Who is as perverted as your father and son, I can't do it, let me rest" Su Qin was tired, panting and his lungs were like bellows
"Dad, I'll go see if they're chasing" Lin Xi climbed up the tall tree next to him after saying three or two times, but the sight in the dark was almost zero, if there were no glasses, he couldn't see anything clearly, the campfire in the distance was no longer visible, the light of the torches disappeared, it seemed that the gang didn't follow, and he listened to the footsteps without hurrying, and then jumped off the tree trunk.
"The men didn't come along, they had a very strong scout, and if it weren't for it, we would probably be surrounded," Lynsey pointed to the little jaguar.
"I'm sorry, alas! You see that I'm old and my body is useless, and I don't know why I fell asleep," Su Qin kept apologizing with a heavy gasp.
"It's okay, it's okay, maybe the sound of gunfire in the woods in the afternoon attracted them, Linxi, did you see what they looked like just now, how many people there were." Lin Xi had not systematically studied investigation methods, so Lin's father also asked his son in an uncertain tone.
"No, the visibility is too low, I only know that there is a person at a very close distance, it seems to be a scout of the other party, walking very lightly, I wanted to catch him after finding him, but I saw the fire in the distance, it was too far away and I couldn't see it clearly, there should be a lot of people listening to the footsteps, I didn't dare to stop, if it was passing by, there could be no pathfinder, and it was so close to our camp, my grandson also shot an arrow at me, damn, if I didn't hide fast, the old man would have to burn a daughter-in-law for me at this time in the coming year." Lynsey babbled a lot.
On the contrary, Father Lin didn't care, but took out the yellow paper soaked in kerosene from his backpack, picked up a wooden stick casually, and wrapped the yellow paper with copper wire around the end of the wooden stick.
The torch lit by the zippo shone a warm fire, and by the way, he lit a cigarette and took a hard puff, all in one go. looked at Lin Xi, who was dancing, took out one from the Marlboro cigarette case that he was just about to put in his pocket, threw it to Lin Xi and said, "I don't know what your kid is and your father, where is the smell of showing off, if you put your mouth open, you and Uncle Su can stop the meeting along the way, and every time you smoke a cigarette, don't chew gum in your mouth, that smell is not as authentic as the stinky shoes you played after, your mother has long found out" It seems that Su Qin is not as nervous about his son, but casually exposed his son's little tricks.
"Lao Lin, what has Xiaoxi experienced with you in the past few years, this skill is not worse than some special forces, if it weren't for him just now, we would have capsized in the gutter if we didn't get it right" Su Qin gasped, a little dumbfounded as Lin Xi explained his smoking to his father.
"No, this is the cigarette smoked by those ghosts in the same dormitory, it's none of my business, I chew gum to freshen my breath, and give you and my mother a healthy and sunny image that I haven't seen for a long time, you are slandering"
"What slander, don't pretend, you are 35 years old, I can't see you"
"Slander, really slander, nothing bad at all" The father and son quarreled, their hands were not slow at all, they checked their backpacks and checked their items, fortunately, they didn't take off their clothes, and they brought their equipment with them, but they just lost a pot and two tents, and Su Qin's computer was also lost.
At this time, the little jaguar, which had been quietly on the side, moved its ears and bared its teeth in the direction it came.
Lin Xi didn't say a word, turned around with a cold face and went into the bushes, and after a while, his expression re-emerged as usual, but the sharp-eyed Su Qin saw a flash of blood on the military dagger on the side of Lin Xi's right leg, and the fierceness between Lin Xi's eyebrows that had just subsided, and his heart was cold, (This kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp)
"Damn, you're going to heaven, race your face, you've chased Lao Tzu for almost 5 kilometers, and it's endless," Lin Xi spat out bloody phlegm, kicked the fallen leaves under his feet, and cursed. Just now, Lin Xi's temper came up, and he wiped the throat of the little black man with three strikes and five divided by two, but the ribs were also hit by the little black man with a heavy elbow when he was dying
"Little deflated calf, with whom are you talking to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu, their big army should not be far away" Father Lin sprayed his son as usual as if nothing had happened.
"Oh! Okay! ”
Five hours later, the three of them were stunned at a mound in front of them that seemed to be an inverted bowl, and it was not right to say that it was a mound, because it was a perfect 52-degree angle cone, the top was about 120 meters high, and the base was 200 meters.
"Let's chirp, let's chirp.. Old man, you said that this pyramid has not been pruned for many years, or we should introduce it to a gardener," said Linsey, holding the bright red fruit in his hand, as he ate it. The three of them fled all the way, while drawing up a route, when they came from the Amazon River branch down the river, the current location is less than 500 kilometers from the nearest city in Peru "Iquitos", if the pursuers behind them did not give up the pursuit, only to walk through the jungle to Iquitos, and along the way happened to pass the destination of this trip is the Palatri pyramid.
"Lao Su, you hurry up and take plant samples, try to stay away from the pyramid part, I feel that this ghost thing is a little weird, I'll go take more photos, Xiaoxi will go and set up a few small warning traps around. Write down the coordinates, next time we will bring a few more people, re-examine, 15 minutes later we converge, the time is tight and the task is heavy, separate actions" Father Lin looked around and found that there was a circle of nearly 300 meters around the pyramid and there were no plants surviving, and the dry and cracked land was full of strangeness.
The two nodded in response, Lin was 1000 meters away from the Golden Tower, after arranging a few small warning traps in a fan shape, he stood next to the branch of a tall tree and looked around, because the trees blocked the view is not good, after observing the surrounding environment with glasses, he did not find it, but he heard the sound of anxious talking faintly from the woods, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the pyramid.
Less than 200 meters away, he heard a warning trap set up by himself, and there was a sharp sound. It sounded as if they were in a hurry, and they changed their previous unhurriedness, but they didn't even care about the traps, and hurriedly chased in the direction of the pyramid.
"Lao Su should go, I'll go! Lao Su, come down quickly, what did I just say, did you take my words as a deaf ear, didn't you tell you to stay away from the pyramid and collect some tiny vines, what are you doing climbing so high, come down, immediately" After Father Lin came back, he found that Professor Su had climbed to a position of more than 30 meters high, and it seemed that he was going towards the thick vines, and he said anxiously in his heart, and he had already shouted at the end.
"It's okay, this plant, no! It is not a plant, the stems, leaves and flowers have the characteristics of plants, but, but you look at the old forest, after cutting it, it is still moving, there is a red liquid flowing out of the fracture, and it smells of blood, this is simply a miracle, a miracle, you look at these thick vines, there are hairs on the surface of the vines, they are real hairs, not velvety, this is a major discovery in world biology, I want to go up to the top to see its source, to see how it reproduces" Su Qin's eyes were red, and he shouted feverishly, In his hand, he held a vine the thickness of a little finger, and the vine was broken and flowing with red liquid, twisting and coiling around Professor Su's arm.
"Old Su, hurry up and come down for me, fuck, what the hell, old Su vines are rushing at you, run" Father Lin stared closely behind Su Qin, and found that several wrist-thick vines were marching towards Professor Su like pythons, and several vines the thickness of buckets also began to move, shouting anxiously while rushing towards the pyramid.
At the age of nearly 50, I didn't expect the speed of running to be similar to that of Lin Xi. Su Qin heard Lin Nan's shout, and his years of experience in cooperation played a role at a critical moment, and he didn't look back, so he jumped to avoid the attack of a few vines, and then turned around and jumped directly down two steps, but after all, his physical quality was not so good, he fell directly on the steps, and his glasses were thrown off, at this time, Father Lin also came to the front, and after cutting off a three-finger-thick vine that had been wrapped around Su Qin's legs, he directly dragged Su Qin to jump down the pyramid, and finally returned to the open space after tearing off a few small vines.
On the other hand, Su Qin's hair was also loose at this time, one leg was also drooping, and the bright red blood flowed down his calf, looking as if he was fractured, when Father Lin took him down, because he was in a hurry, he directly dragged Su Qin's arm and jumped step by step, jumping from the boulder with a high and low order, causing serious secondary injury to Su Qin.
"I'm rubbing, what's the matter, the rattan is fine? Why are there so many faces on the body, huh! It's quite expressive. Hearing Father Lin's shout, Lin Xi hurried back to see a scalp-numbing scene in the distance, and saw that when the thick vines moved, the epidermis seemed to have human faces, showing angry, resentful, and weeping expressions as the vines swam, and the open mouth also seemed to tell despair.
Although Lin Xi's hair stood on end, he still rushed up with his father to hold Su Qin, who had collapsed, and ran wildly in the predetermined direction, the vines seemed to know that the prey was going to run away, and the speed increased sharply, especially a few thick vines, and the faces showed angry expressions, and the dense vines showed a tendency to close, chasing after the three people.
Lin Xi and Father Lin turned around and fired a few shots, breaking a few vines that had already come closer, and the vines seemed to be hurt, convulsed a few times, but came towards a few people more quickly.
At this time, the people who were chasing Lin Xi behind them also appeared on the other side of Lin Xi, Lin Xi glanced at it, and found that the group of wild people saw the vines, as if they would not move, and collectively knelt down in the open space, allowing the vines to drown them, and occasionally a muffled scream was heard.
After the vines climbed up their bodies, tiny vines drilled in and out of their bodies like drill bits, and the tiny vines marched through their bodies, even on their faces, and they twitched as if they were in great pain, their eyes turned white, and they turned into dry corpses in less than a second. The coarser ones rolled people into the air, and in an instant they burst blood, internal organs, and broken bones everywhere, and the blood-drenched vines flipped back and forth as if they were beaten with chicken blood.
"Wow, it's almost time for the juicer"
"Less nonsense, hurry up and run"
"Look at the old man, they don't seem to enter the woods, there are things in the woods that restrain them" At this time, Linxi noticed that a vine that stretched into the woods withered in an instant, and the surrounding vines shrank as if they were in pain. shouted at Father Lin.
"Hey, Lao Lin, it seems that buddy I am going to die here, your father and son, you are flexible, let me go, you should be able to escape without me involved, I have a broken leg, and you two can't run far with me, besides, there are chasing soldiers to follow, take good care of Su Su for me" Seeing that the living space is getting smaller and smaller, the vines in front of him are already about to close, dense as hair, Su Qin looked desperate, and was about to break free from the hands of the two under his armpits.
"Just the hell, you talk a lot of nonsense, don't make a mess here" Father Lin slashed at Su Qin's neck with a knife, knocking Su Qin unconscious in an instant.
"Old man, why don't you stir up a relationship with him for a while, and then he will be knocked unconscious," Lin Xi quipped as he turned to the side.
"Less nonsense, flying tiger claws" Father Lin looked at the wooded area that was already close in front of him, and the road ahead had been blocked by vines, and suddenly took out the mountaineering rope from his waist, and the end of the mountaineering rope was tied to this fishhook-like thing, the father and son threw out the flying tiger claws at the same time, hooking a tall tree, Father Lin dragged Su Qin and shook hard, Lin Xi also pushed his father hard in the back, and swung over between the vines without reacting, and when he turned around and dragged the rope to swing, his feet suddenly tightened, and he was actually entangled by a thin vine with the thickness of two fingers, He drew a military dagger and cut down the thin vines, and when he looked up, he saw that the vines the size of the bucket had come closer, and the vines suddenly separated from the middle and split four or five petals, and the dense teeth on each petal flashed with a cold light that made people palpitate.
"Roar" huge mouthparts, like swirling teeth, the giant mouth let out a roar
"I'm rubbing, what kind of thing, can you still make a sound, what kind of physiological structure is it" Lin Xi's head twitched and grabbed the rope and swung
When the giant mouth was about to bite Linxi's buttocks, Linsey took out the high-explosive grenade in his chest pocket and threw it into the giant mouth naturally.
Lying in the woods, with blade-sized fragments stuck in the back shoulder armor, the bulletproof vest behind him was also covered with fragments of different sizes, and his arms were covered with scratches, Lin Xi suddenly laughed, "Haha, ha, this mouth is explosive, it's really cool Lao Tzu has ascended to heaven. Oops! Old man, what are you kicking me for" Raising his head, Father Lin's gloomy face was reflected in Lin Xi's eyes.
