Chapter 5: Wolves
The rain in the Amazon jungle comes and goes fast. The sun came out in less than an hour. Although the volcano is still erupting, it is only a small puff of smoke, and the lava has slowly stopped flowing. The volcanic ash has also been diluted by the torrential rain just now, and it is estimated that it fell to the ground with the rain. We looked towards the volcano, and the entire top of the volcano was still red, like blood. I shook my head and pressed down on what I wanted to say. This is the most unlucky thing to say.
"Let's go." Gao Yanan struggled to take a few steps, and Wang Zongjun hurriedly chopped a branch and handed it to him. I also walked a few steps, and although my body was still a little sore, I was visibly more powerful. Zhang Qian smiled and handed me a wooden stick, which was much thicker than Gao Yanan's. I smiled and said, "Look at this stick, my heart is much more steady, and I am not afraid of breaking it hard." Gao Yanan looked at the branch in his hand, and his face was obviously unhappy. Liu Qiang hurriedly changed her to a thick one.
It's dry land, not close to the river, so it's not difficult to walk on the ground. Nor is it full of jungles, with vines entwined and low shrubs blocking the view and blocking the way. The trees here are indeed tall, but there is no information that says they can reach up to 60 meters. At most, it's more than 30 meters.
Ye Simin said with a smile: "We are only on the periphery now, and maybe the periphery is not counted." How many meters are we in? Now it can only be calculated in meters. When did you start calculating distance in kilometers, you entered the Amazon jungle. "We looked at the volcano in the distance, and it was very close. Because of the mountain blocking, it seems quiet. If there is no mountain place, it should still be a place for tourists to play. Maybe it's even more far-reaching than here.
We each had a branch, waving as we went, trying to drive away all the poisonous snakes. This effect is also very effective, the poisonous snakes swim away into the distance one by one, but there are also people who are not afraid of people, and they spit letters at everyone with their bodies crossed. was flattened by a stick from everyone. I don't even need a machete.
It was dark early in the woods, and it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and I couldn't see anything clearly, thinking that if I really got to the dense jungle, maybe I wouldn't even be able to see the sun. It's not much different from those ancient tombs, the advantage is that the air is better, and the sun is not so dark and not so depressing.
Gao Yanan smiled and asked, "Shall we stop and camp or continue to move on?" ”
Zhang Qinghai shouted: "Let's camp, let's camp, I'm starving, I'm camping to eat." ”
Also, from eating in the morning to now, the time is indeed not short, and after the crazy escape of the volcanic eruption, the physical strength has already been consumed, so it is good to rest early. Fortunately, thanks to the special training of that month, I would have been tired and would have fallen down a long time ago. So I said, "Set up camp, rest well today, and continue tomorrow." The volcanic eruption is because we ran too fast on that part of the road, and the physical exertion was too great, so we should take it easy in the future. Fortunately, there was no danger just now, and if there is danger, I am afraid we will not have the strength to deal with it. Everyone nodded yes.
After setting up the camp, Zhang Qinghai didn't say that he was hungry, and went hunting with Wang Zongjun and Liu Qiang with great interest, saying that he wanted to make a delicious barbecue. Fortunately, we brought enough bullets this time, and we were not afraid of consumption, otherwise we would not be willing to use them. Zhang Qinghai, Wang Zongjun, Liu Qiang, and Gao Yanan are holding sniper rifles, and a few of us men are rifles. Submachine guns in the jungle are purely bullet-consuming, with limited lethality, and are not as effective as rifles. The women were armed with pistols, two each, with a thousand rounds of ammunition, but only six magazines, and the rest of the bullets were loaded by themselves.
Leng Feng and Li Meiting also grinned and said, "Let's go, let's go collect firewood, otherwise how to roast?" With that, the women walked away happily. After a while, he came back with a pile of firewood. I looked at the pyre and said, "Not enough." We're going to make a fire, and it's not safe at night. The jungle looks damp inside, so you can avoid getting sick by making a fire. Leng Feng smiled and pulled them to pick them up a few times.
After a long time, Zhang Qinghai and the others still didn't come back, and Gao Yanan couldn't help but get angry. said hatefully: "Look at me not teaching you a lesson this time, it's actually time for us to play, it's been almost a month and an hour, why haven't you come back." "Something is going to happen, right?" Yu Qian said. Gao Yanan waved his hand and said, "Even if it...... Well, it's back. ”
Seeing Zhang Qinghai carrying a wild boar, Wang Zongjun and Liu Qiang carrying a crocodile, we were stunned, there are crocodiles here? Is it by the river? Why don't you hear the sound of the water?
Seeing the confusion in our eyes, Zhang Qinghai said with a big grin: "From here, there is a river about three kilometers away, but don't worry, there is a single-plank bridge on the river." We just built it. If we hadn't cut down trees and built bridges, we would have come back early. We have washed the wild boar and fed the crocodiles with its internal organs, so we have picked a small crocodile to bring back. ”
Li Meiting said: "Boss, did you bring that little pot?" Let's make a fish soup and drink it. I took out the small pot with a smile, Gao Yanan took it and looked at it and said, "So small? What about the eighteen of us? How is it enough? I smiled and said, "Half a bowl per person." ”
I took out the alcohol stove and boiled the crocodile broth, and the wild boar was almost roasted. Gao Yanan looked at the salt and seasonings in my hand and said teasingly: "Professor Shui, why do you take this with you, is it that Leng Feng doesn't cook at home?"
I smiled and said, "I'm used to it, I've been out in the field for too long, and I've already regarded them as my indispensable equipment." Zhang Qinghai said: "It's also thanks to the boss's seasoning, otherwise the barbecue would have no taste." It seems that I will also take these with me when I go out in the future, so that this kind of barbecue is delicious. ”
Fresh wild boar meat grilled out is delicious. Everyone ate a belly round, and in the end everyone only drank a few mouthfuls of fish soup, and did not eat a single piece of crocodile meat. I'll hang the boiled crocodile meat on the fire, and I guess it will be made into jerky tomorrow. Now this is dry land, and if you go to the wetlands, you may not have dry firewood to pick up. Now it's a good snack to open a good jerky. Listening to my words, they also cut the leftover wild boar meat into small pieces and roasted them on the fire.
It was still a vigil of two people, but this time several women took turns to grill jerky over the fire for an hour each. I got up at six o'clock in the morning, took out wet wipes and wiped my face, packed up my equipment, and went to the fire together to pick up the pieces of meat that were not roasted and dried. They can't compare to ham sausages and luncheon meat, let alone instant noodles. So I had to eat them first.
Looking at our lazy appearances one by one, Gao Yanan said with a gloomy face: "I said that you are not allowed to be too full, look at you, are you still moving?" If this is in danger, it will be like this, and it will have to be killed. "We don't dare to refute it, this look is really not good, we just complain that the wild boar is too delicious.
As soon as we put out the fire, we heard the roaring outside, and a pack of wild wolves had surrounded us. I cried out, "Go up to the trees, lest we fall on our backs." When he heard this, he climbed up the tree. It's just that the results of the special training can be seen, and everyone is agile and agile on the tree.
The wolves finally came over, and Gao Yanan ordered us not to shoot first. Strangely enough, the wolves ignored us and went straight to the boar bones on the ground. Alas, it turned out to be the barbecue to blame. But the noses of these wolves are too smart, Zhang Qinghai and they didn't see a single one of their big disadvantages, how can they ...... this time Uh, it can't be from the single-plank bridge they built, right? At this time, Zhang Qinghai and a few of them also figured it out, and Zhang Qinghai said with a smile: "It's broken, I'm afraid the single-plank bridge can't go." ”
After eating the boar bones, the wolves raised their heads and stared at us, and we knew that these wild wolves would not leave easily. But don't want to waste bullets either. A thousand rounds of ammunition per person, although it looks like a lot, but we don't even count the periphery of the Amazon jungle here, so we start using it here, and I'm afraid that when we get inside, we can only fight with wild beasts with machetes. We counted carefully, and the wolf pack was not large, only a hundred or so. But the wild wolf will hold a grudge, unless it is eliminated, otherwise you must always beware of the sneak attack of the wild wolf.
Gao Yanan frowned and said: "I haven't heard that there are wolves in the tropical rainforest, this should be an animal on the grassland, and the wild boar, how can these animals not be in those materials?" ”
Lu Liang said: "Instructor, do you think it's okay for someone to be free-range?" Just like Australia imports wolves and rabbits, it is also for ecological balance. Cui Jian retorted: "No, there are many animals that eat meat, but there are few animals that eat grass." If for the sake of ecological balance, more rabbits, antelopes and the like should be imported. ”
There was a lot of talk among the people, and the wolves below were circling around the trees. Although these trees are not too tall, they are all straight up and down, and wild wolves cannot climb up at all. That's it, still trying to climb without relaxation. We watched with a smile as the wolf climbed the tree, and Lu Liang shouted "Come on." ”
Leng Feng suddenly said, "You say, could these wolves come out of a zoo?" It started out as a few and slowly grew to so many. We nodded, agreeing with him......
Zhang Qinghai looked at the wolves sitting down below and said, "Look, they are tired, but they still don't leave, we can't stay in the trees all the time." It's noon, and it's the best time to walk in the jungle, but we're here to spend time with these wolves. It won't work like this. ”
Our patience was running out, and we were about to make a move, when the wolves suddenly stood up. (To be continued.) )
