In the early morning, the chill and damp mist close to the ground covered this quiet world with fangs, and huge trees could be seen everywhere, with trees over 50 feet in diameter and 200 feet in height, their lush foliage and huge canopy blocking the sunlight, so that the trees were covered with gray bryophytes and all kinds of unknown creeping vines. The stream flows slowly, and the huge ferns that grow at the water's edge shine under the reflection of the water's light, and the red, purple, and blue plants dot the green bushes from time to time, but these beautiful and brightly colored plants are mostly terrifying things that contain poison, and they show off their beauty while also bringing them a delicious dinner. Here, it is a strange world, a place isolated from the outside civilized world, a place full of wild atmosphere, an endless primeval jungle!

Laurie Bolan took a deep breath of the humid air of the primeval jungle and plunged his knife into the dirt. The morning fog in the jungle had dissipated for a long time, it was already 7:45 in the morning, and the fog had not yet cleared, and there was no human figure to be seen dozens of meters away, in this case, the team must not continue to advance. Relieving his lower back muscles, Laurie walked back to the camp, a makeshift camp with twelve gray nylon tents, eight for people, three for equipment, and one for eating.

Laurie was hired as a bodyguard and guide for the expedition, and thanks to his previous service experience and familiarity with the jungle, the expedition hired him for a whopping $30,000.

He didn't refuse, he had served as a guide for many rich people in the past, leading them to see the dangerous jungle world, so that those rich people could return to the city to brag and show off. Even if it was an expedition, he had led it, and the Amazon jungle had the last pure land in the world, and the dangers here had stopped the greedy colonists and left the last treasures. But now, the eyes of the world are gradually focused on this jungle, eager to seek the great wealth inside, so the danger of the jungle can not deter people, all kinds of oil companies, timber exploration teams, mineral exploration teams have come here, for the quiet jungle dyeing a layer of noise.

However, at this time, Laurie felt a little uneasy in his heart, although he had taken others into the Amazon jungle many times before, he had never gone so deep this time, and in such a deep jungle, the familiar experience of the past would not bring him much help. Laurie knows that no matter how beautiful this jungle looks on the outside, it is actually unpredictable and unpredictable inside, and the jungle ten kilometers away from the town is not the same as the jungle one hundred kilometers away from the town, even if it is an indigenous person who has lived in the jungle for generations, it is possible to die here because he is not familiar with the environment dozens of kilometers away from the tribe, let alone modern people who do not understand and are not familiar with the jungle.

"What's wrong? Look at your sullen look. ”

Bobby Adiman walked over with a dinner plate.

Laurie sighed, "I still recommend not going any deeper, otherwise even I won't dare to guarantee the safety of the expedition." ”

"Didn't the doctor say that we will return to the next body of water, only a few dozen kilometers?"

Adiman handed Laurie a plate of mixed food, slimy and unsightly.

"A distance of tens of kilometers is likely to be the difference between heaven and hell." Laurie shook his head imperceptibly, "If you choose to move on, I'm sorry, but I'll have to skip the commission." ”

"What? You're leaving? Adiman was taken aback.

"I still want to live a few more years, but I don't want to give up my life for $30,000."

Laurie took a few bites of the breakfast on the plate and handed it to Adiman, "Go tell Dr. Kerwyn and let him make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Adiman took his plate and didn't come to his senses until he watched Laurie walk into a tent, and hurried back to the tent to tell Dr. Kerwin.

Dr. Kerwyn was in his fifties, but he still looked able and strong, and when he heard Adiman's report, he hurried out of the tent, and without Laurie's guidance to lead the way, the expedition really did not dare to move on, so he had to leave Laurie himself. When he rushed out of the tent, he saw Laurie packing up his equipment and immediately walked up: "Mr. Boran, no, no, you can't just leave. ”

"Can't leave like this?" Laurie retorted, "Dr. Kerrwin, are you preparing a helicopter to take me away?" ”

Kerwin said embarrassedly: "I know my request goes against the agreement we started, we can renegotiate the price, well, how about an extra ten thousand dollars?" ”

"Oh my God, even if you add another hundred thousand dollars, you can't buy my life back."

Laurie packed up his gear without slowing down the slightest, "Doctor, you're better than me in science, but when it comes to familiarity with this jungle, you can't compare to me. If you insist on moving on, I will bless you to go to heaven. ”

"It's not a joke at all...... "Adiman muttered.

"Reckless, losing one's mind, being blinded by immediate interests, not following advice, jokes will soon become a reality."

Laurie looked at Adiman coldly, put the last things in his backpack, and zipped them up.

"Okay, can I get some time?" Kirwyn bitterly said that if the expedition went back like this, he would face the dilemma of losing all sources of funding without any useful information.

"Well, you still have half an hour to think about it." Laurie looked at his watch and walked away.

Kerwyn sighed, and returned to the tent with Adiman to convene the members of the expedition, and the members had different opinions, some were in favor of returning, some were unimpressed and supported to move on, and for ten minutes they quarreled for ten minutes, and finally they could only wait and see Dr. Kerwin's opinion to make a decision.

Kerrwin pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "We must move forward, we must know that the results of this expedition are related to the strength of Johnson & Johnson's support for us, if we do not return this time, our laboratory will lose its source of funding, and it will be very difficult to convince another company to invest in us again." ”

The crowd fell silent, knowing that Kerwin was right, and if they went back like this without results, their team would be disbanded. But to keep going, how can you move forward without a guide?

"I'm going to continue to persuade Mr. Boran, if he insists on leaving, then we can't do anything about it."

Kirwyn stepped out of the tent and walked towards Laurie, who was standing at the edge of the camp, "Mr. Boran, we have discussed that we can double your commission to sixty thousand dollars, as long as you continue to lead us forward. ”

"So you're going to move on?"

Laurie sighed, "Then we have nothing to say, I still say the same thing, to keep moving forward is to risk my life, no amount of money can buy back a dead life." ”

Kerrwyn was gloomy: "But if we go back like this, our lab will be disbanded due to lack of funds." ”

Laurie shook his head and didn't want to say any more, it was useless to advise them for so long, only to show them the real danger of the jungle before they realized how stupid they were.

At this moment, the hand-held maritime satellite phone in Laurie's jacket pocket rang, Laurie took out the phone suspiciously, looked at the number he didn't know on it, and took the phone with a thumb: "I'm Bolan, may I ask ......"

"Mr. Bolan, I am the head of the security department of Branston Global Biopharmaceuticapany, I have seen Mr. Bolan's service information on the relevant information, and I want to hire you to work for the company's security personnel, in terms of salary, the company will provide you with a 100,000 US dollar hiring commission and 1,200 US dollars salary."

"Branston Global Biopharma?" Laurie's mind kept thinking, how could he never have heard of this company? However, there are many biopharmaceutical companies in the world, except for the top ten pharmaceutical companies, it is not surprising that he has not heard of it, and he wonders why the other party would hire him?

"Mr. Bolan, if you agree to our company's offer, you will be able to check your bank account within three minutes, and our sincerity is not fraudulent."

"I'm sorry, but if you have time, can you let me meet with the person in charge of your company?"

"Mr. Bolan's consideration is normal, but to prove our sincerity, you can check your bank account now, and we will send the information to your email address later."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone was hung up, Laurie frowned and looked at the phone, a little unable to believe the other party's words, what company in the world would pay before meeting the employee? And it's a lot of money. Thinking of this, Laurie dialed a series of numbers, and the Inmarsat phone connected to Barclays Bank across the Atlantic through the Inmarsati-4 synchronous satellite network, and the bank confirmed that someone had just transferred 100,000 dollars into his account.

"Hey, interesting."

Laurie took back the phone, and suddenly his interest came, and he couldn't help but have a little curiosity about this company that he had never heard of, what kind of company would play so unreasonably?

"See, Dr. Kerrwin, I have a business coming to my door now, so it doesn't matter if you listen to my warnings or not, I'm leaving now."

"Mr. Bolan!" Kirwin was a little anxious, but he couldn't think of any other way to leave him, so he watched as Laurie disappeared into the jungle with his travel bag on his back.
