Chapter 004: Heavy Rain

When everyone began to rest and light a fire to cook, the team leader also began to summarize what had happened in the past few days.

Although these team members have received professional training and have some practical experience, they have not been quiet along the way. First, the boat broke down and could not be repaired, then the food was accidentally lost, and finally, another member of the team became infected with Trenchfoot, making it difficult to walk, slowing down the whole team.

"Let's hope the next few days will be safe. But why does it always feel like something is peeking at this place after coming to this place? None of this has happened before. The team leader was vigilant for a while, but it was almost dark now, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to.

"I hope my instincts are wrong."

While the team leader was thinking, Aoki was glad that he hadn't been one of the slashed members.

Because Aoki didn't grow much, and the leaves were not suitable for keeping out the rain and padding the back, it was not favored by those who cut down the trees, so it escaped the catastrophe.

But the other trees weren't so lucky. At this time, these humans built a total of 5 bed frames around the campfire, and naturally used a lot of wood.

Aoki counted a little, and there were probably more than 30 small trees cut down, and the unknown plants with large leaves were cut down to the ground, all used to make beds and make improvised sheds. In this jungle, it basically rains every two days, so it is necessary for humans to have a simple shelter to keep out the rain.

However, Aoki was not happy for long, because a stick swung directly and slashed directly next to Aoki, not directly chopping, but cutting off a small branch of Aoki's leaves.

"Ahh Pain!! Pain!! "The pain that hurts into the bone marrow keeps impacting Aoki's consciousness, wave after wave, continuously, and I feel like I'm about to explode." Why worry about them? To hell with any worries and fears! ”

Soon it was getting dark, and it was pouring rain in the jungle. Although the jungle was helping to store the water, the water level of the stream soon rose to a height of 10 cm from Aoki's feet. I saw that the stream soon turned into a river, and the water was rolling, wave after wave, and at a glance I knew that it was urgent, deep, and extremely dangerous.

Because the terrain where the humans camped was relatively high, the rolling water did not affect them.

However, the downpour at this time caused them a lot of trouble. The fire that had been lit was naturally quickly extinguished under the heavy rain, and everyone could only eat the few dry foods. Because of this heavy rain, not only is the hot and delicious broth gone, but there is no fire to keep warm.

Although there is no wind in the forest, so there is no slanting rain, but the simplicity of the camping hut cannot be supported. Drops of rain the size of marbles fell from the canopy of tall trees like swarms of wasps and smashed into the shacks covered with large leaves. Some of the rainwater drains out of the shack along the lines of the large leaves, but there is also a lot of rainwater that flows directly into the shack because it is not channeled.

Clothes are wet, items are wet, everything that doesn't have a waterproof bag is wet. The five explorers starved and froze in a cold, soaking, dark and dangerous environment, and couldn't sleep. They thought it was the end of the world.

Although they wanted five people to get together to keep warm, the shack they made was too small to accommodate one person. The harsh environment kept them awake from sleeping, and the experience or something, under the power of nature, was just a joke.

Aoki, who had just recovered from the severe pain, was gloating when he saw the harsh environment at this time. The pain of the enemy is his own happiness, and this sentence explains Aoki's psychological state at this time very well.

"It would be even more wonderful if the python came too. In the dark night when I couldn't see my fingers, a python suddenly appeared next to the human, raised its head high, spit out a letter, opened its mouth, and swallowed the person in one gulp. The other humans were awakened and fled in a panic. In the days that followed, not only would they be hunted by pythons, but they would also have to endure hunger, fatigue, disease, and panic, and even if they were lucky enough to get out of the jungle, they would leave a lifelong psychological wound. Thinking of this, Aoki couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

As the night passed, the sky quickly brightened, but this night, the python did not appear as Aoki expected.

But despite this, those humans also suffered a lot at this time.

I was drenched all night, couldn't sleep, and had to endure hunger and cold. Two of them had contracted a severe cold, while the other had been soaked overnight in the rain, and the skin of both feet had rotted badly. At this time, he didn't even dare to touch his feet, let alone crutches. With a little force, the decaying epidermis will deform and the bones will be exposed.

"Charlie, I can't help it, the medicine I prepared has been lost in the water when the boat capsized last time, so it can't be treated for the time being. But don't be discouraged, we'll take you back, and if you do, you'll be able to heal it. The team leader comforted him. But the team leader knew in his heart that after a heavy rain last night, his foot had been completely destroyed, and even if he returned to treatment, it was estimated that he would be amputated. But at this difficult time, give him a determination to stay strong no matter what.

Except for 2 who suffered from a severe cold and one who had a severe trench foot, only the team leader and one other person persevered because of his strong physique and did not contract the disease.

At this time, the situation is a headache for the team leader, and it seems that if he doesn't fix it today, there is no way to get out of here. But the feeling that something was peeping at had always been in his mind, and he couldn't shake it off.

Just as these 5 humans were battling the harsh environment, Aoki finally saw what he wanted to see.

A >>>>>>>> ripple appears in a stream that has not yet receded, which is not very conspicuous, but it is also a little different from the ripple of the current, and if Aoki had not been staring at the water, I am afraid that he would have ignored it.

"The python has finally appeared, so let me see how it hunts!" Aoki was excited.

At this time, the five humans were still unaware that danger was approaching.

After a night of heavy rain in the jungle, dry wood and grass were hard to find. At this time, there are only two people left who have the ability to maneuver. Because the team leader is more experienced, he decided to search for dried firewood and grass in the surrounding area, and find some herbs that can be treated by the way. Another person patrolled the camp.

When the sun comes out, ants, locusts, bees, bugs, spiders and other animals continue to jump out of their nests under Aoki's vision, looking for food for the new day.

There are also many small birds that constantly show their singing voices in the jungle, making human beings who have experienced extreme darkness smile with happiness and hope.

Several grasshoppers smelled the scent of blood, and under Aoki's gaze, they quickly crawled under one of the humans, and their target was a man who was lying on a simple bed with a cold. After much difficulty, he finally climbed up the tree trunk to the bed half a meter above the ground, and then followed the man's foot into the trouser leg.

Aoki had goosebumps and hairy inside.

It is said that when these locusts suck blood, they can secrete an anesthetic, which makes the bitten person feel nothing. At this time, the patient was in such a state, not feeling that he was being patronized by the locusts, and was still lying on the bed weakly and weakly.

And several others were patronized by other locusts one by one. And the man who was not sick did not succeed because he carefully rolled his trouser legs into his socks according to the instructions of the team leader.

After about half an hour, the leader finally collected some dry firewood and some other things. After the fire broke out, everyone came to the fire and enjoyed the precious warmth.

Then the leader walked up to Aoki with a knife.

"What's going on? What is he going to do? "Aoki is inexplicable.

Then, Aoki saw an enlarged version of the sole of his shoe step down next to him.

"Whew! Call! Call! ”

Aoki was so nervous that he was afraid that he would just step on it and break himself. Luckily, this horrible thing didn't happen, and the shoe stepped on the side just 10 centimeters apart, leaving a deep mud puddle.

Then Aoki saw the leader wielding a machete, slashing hard, cutting off the neighbor's cedar tree, and then quickly cutting off the other branches and leaves, leaving the middle branch and an ant's nest.

Then walk back and burn the ant nest directly on the fire.

"How can they do that? O living ants! To burn them alive just to repel insects? Aren't they doing biological research? They don't die well! Ahhhh "Aoki was furious, and at this time he hated these 5 humans to the extreme.;
