Chapter 22: The Wind Rises

I nodded, let's do a few, I don't know what's going on in the Lost Forest yet. Making a few rafts can also prevent us from soaking in the water, that is, there are no microorganisms, and the harm to the body after running in the water for a long time is also very obvious.

Lu Liang looked at Yatu and asked, "General Yatu, you have been in the jungle for so many years, you must know the weather in the Amazon jungle very well, right?" That, General Yatu, when is this storm coming? ”

Yatu looked up at the sky and shook his head. The sun was shining in the sky, and there was not even a trace of clouds, but Wang Zongjun was a good hand at the weather. Although I am often away and have a set of confidence in the weather, I am not as good as talking to Wang Zongjun about the weather. It was later learned that he was a professional weather forecaster in his special forces squad. Although this is the Amazon jungle, there are signs of changes in the weather. With such good weather, there will definitely be a lot of water vapor, and cumulonimbus clouds can form quickly, and the rain will certainly not make us wait too long.

Billy looked at Yatu with a complicated face, and said cautiously: "General Yatu, do you know how my family business is now?" "We really worked hard in the Americas for many years, but his brother Tucker** worked hard to escape, but everyone around him died.

Yatu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but all your inheritance in Colombia is gone." If interested, join our guerrillas. When the time comes, we will snatch back your inheritance for you. ”

Billy's face was pained, and he gritted his teeth and said, "General Yatu, I want to get out of here, I'm going to see how my foundation is doing in Peru and Brazil." I had a phone call with Sengo in Mexico before I fled, and I don't know what happened to him. The network of relationships I've worked so hard to build, if I'm pulled out by the political axe, everything will be gone. ”

Yatu looked at him deeply with a strange look on his face, and only nodded after a long time and said, "Go ahead." Billy left with a thousand thanks. Qin Tai said anxiously: "General, how can you let him go?" If he leaks out, won't we have a lot more opponents? Yatu smiled and said, "Do you want me to kill you?" Qin Tai shrank his neck and stepped aside. With a wave of his hand, Yatu chased after Billy in the direction he had left.

We looked at the three big men who left, and naturally knew what they were going to do. We all understand Yatu's approach that he did not attack us, and he has done his duty.

Little by little, by the time it got dark, we had made three rafts. We've run out of rope with us. Except, of course, the one firing gun and the one hundred and fifty meters coiled behind it. The people of Yatu built five rafts, not because they didn't want to do more, but because they didn't have enough rope.

We camped quietly by the river, waiting for the storm to come. Three days passed, and Yatu frowned and said, "Qin Tai, Professor Shui, it seems that we are in trouble. The three men I sent to chase Bai Ling never returned. It looks like they won't come. By Billy's last name, he's going to leak out what we're doing here. It looks like this is going to be the center of the storm. Be ye ready, or you will die a terrible death. ”

We nodded, it was just predictable. We already had this realization when we met Yatu, but Yatu's approach made us feel a lot more at ease. We knew we couldn't leave here, but Billy did. The big drug lord is not an ordinary person, and he can leave safely. We can imagine that there should be an expedition team coming here now. Those international tomb robber groups, the expedition team also marched towards this place in unison. It is estimated that Brazil, Colombia, Peru and other countries should also be deploying operations, and armed troops may come here.

The sky finally changed, and the large cumulonimbus clouds slowly piled up, and our faces turned green. The area of the Cumulonimbus cloud is larger than we imagined, and the black Cumulonimbus cloud is like oil, shining purple on the edge of the distant clouds. Yatu gritted his teeth and said, "It's over, it's a thunderstorm." There is also the possibility of hail. This kind of weather is rare in a century. I've been in the jungle for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such clouds. He looked around at the crowd and said, "It seems that we must first find a place to shelter from the rain, and we must also find a high ground to shelter from the torrent." This time the torrent is not a few rafts that can be passed. It seems that you are really right, maybe this water can really flood the big trees here. ”

When we heard him say this, we panicked. Although it was obvious that these clouds were not simple, no one expected that they would be so terrifying. Can a tree that can submerge thirty or forty meters? It's also terrifying. If it is washed away by such a big flood, it is certain that there will be no life, and there will really be no dead and no corpse.

While we were still panicking, a purple lightning bolt pierced the black cloud, which spun like a great typhoon. We stood there and watched stupidly, everything was still. We were in the eye of the typhoon. Through the eye of the typhoon, you can see the clear blue sky above and the dazzling sun. It's all like a dream.

Yatu shouted, "Everyone throw away their weapons, and everything that can conduct electricity must stay a little further away from the tree." Come to this clearing that we have cut down. Also available on the beach by the river. Lie on your stomach and don't look up. A thunderstorm is coming. ”

I looked at the sky and quickly buried the guns and ammunition in the ground, and the machetes and sabers were also buried in a pile. If all the weapons are destroyed by a thunderstorm, it is simply a search for death in such an Amazon. If there is lightning strike, with the earth as a backing, there should be no major problems. Yatu also came to his senses, and instructed his men to bury their guns in the ground. Seeing that Yatu had buried the explosives in the ground, we couldn't help but move our bodies and leave the place. Although we also have explosives on our bodies, they are all new plastic pharmaceuticals, which do not conduct electricity, nor do they pull lightning bolts to chop over.

The thunderstorm is finally coming. Although we were prepared, we were still surprised. The deafening sound exploded in my ears, and I suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. The surrounding trees fell one by one in the lightning, burned one by one, and in the blink of an eye, they were extinguished by the torrential rain. The torrential rain poured over like a river and a sea, and the people who had not climbed close enough to the ground were also pressed to the ground tightly by this pressure. Although he was carrying a backpack, the force of the torrential rain was still beating on his body. Except for the wounds, the rest of the sensation was like being shot by a small arrow from the Kukkel tribe.

There were no wounds, but I knew there must be bruises. I have never seen such a heavy rain when I grow so big, and I used to like to walk in the drizzle and enjoy that feeling of being at ease and unrestrained. But now I feel a kind of fear, a kind of sadness about the vastness of heaven and earth and the insignificance of man. The feeling of palpitations made me sigh, even if the Mayans were the best in ancient and modern times, if they faced this kind of power of heaven and earth, did they also lament the insignificance of human beings?

After a thunderclap, several lightning bolts shot down, directly slashing the guns and ammunition underground. All the bullets were fired under the urging of lightning, and the bullets flying randomly were intertwined with screams and thunder and rain, making people dare not breathe loudly. Everyone was creeping on the ground cautiously, praying sincerely. Leng Feng actually whispered the Guanyin Heart Sutra beside me: "...... There is no wisdom and no gain, so Bodhisattva beats the Prajnapara ** so there is no obstacle in the heart, there is no obstacle so there is no terror...... "I can't help but laugh secretly, no obstacles? It's hard. If not, what are you doing here?

The sound of 'boom' continued, and all the bombs buried in Yatu went off, killing and injuring countless guerrillas around him. Our guns are also scrapped. Luckily, those machetes and sabers weren't struck by the mines, so it's probably the only weapon we have left.

Several guerrillas were injured by the bomb and jumped up in pain, and a lightning bolt passed by, and several of them were reduced to charcoal. The smell of burnt smell was disgusting, but no one dared to move. From time to time, ball lightning fluttered above our heads, and our hair was scorched. The crowd was like corpses, all soaked in muddy water, and they had to breathe sideways.

At least for more than an hour, the thunderstorm finally went away. Everyone got up and breathed heavily. The rain still didn't abate, and we took out our umbrellas, but we couldn't hold them up. finally held it up, but it was broken by the rain in less than a minute. Qin Tai and Yatu had just looked at our umbrella, and when they saw that they couldn't hold it up, they both retracted their hands.

Everyone was looking for a place to shelter from the rain, but they were reluctant to leave here. Although the thunderstorm has gone, the branches and leaves of the big trees are scattered, and the roots cannot be sheltered from the wind and rain. In the end, everyone set up the rafts one by one on the fallen trees, and hid them one after another to barely avoid the humiliation and ravages of the heavy rain.

After counting, the partisans in Yatu were reduced by half, only a dozen or so remained, and two dozen wounded. Qin Tai's men were injured two, and the French scientific expedition team was the worst, they did not find a suitable hiding place, and they actually killed two and injured three. There is nothing wrong with a few of us, but Liu Qiang scratched a little skin, which is not a big deal. It's sad that our weapons are all damaged, and I don't know when, our machetes have turned into iron balls, and this lightning is so outrageous that the steel machetes melted before they got into the ground.

We carefully cleaned the iron balls, and found that although the saber was somewhat deformed, it could still be used. It's just that some of the scabbards can't be removed after they melt. (To be continued.) )
