Chapter Twenty-Three: The Torrent
Yatu took a few sabers, took an iron ball to the bottom, and struck hard with an iron ball, and actually knocked off the scabbard of the saber, and the exposed saber was extremely sharp, better than those of us who did not melt the scabbard. Yatu waved it a few times and exclaimed, "Good knife." It's titanium, right? Such a sharp saber is generally specially made. Your country really thinks very highly of you. Such a good thing is not worthy of the special forces of the average country. He threw the knife at us and said, "It's not too much for me to keep one." ”
I smiled and said, "Of course, Qin Tai, I'll give you a hand." I threw a deformed saber to Qin Tai: "Take it, it's better than nothing." "We brought back the sabers that Yun Qing and Zhang Qinghai carried, and now we don't have anything to give them. We still have one per person. But on Qin Tai's side, the two machetes in his hands did not melt into iron balls, which surprised us a lot. Although two French team died, their weapons were saved. After careful inquiry, we found out that they had already prepared for coming in, and they were carrying pistols made of tempered resin, and the bullets were actually made of tempered glass. This group of perverts can be perverted to such an extent.
Alice handed me a pistol and said, "Professor Water, this pistol is for you." It's just that the bullets are limited, and there are only seventeen rounds in these two magazines, so you have to use them sparingly. Our submachine guns have long been lost from the cannibals, and only these special pistols were brought out. Such bullets are difficult to manufacture, so the reserves are limited. ”
Yatu looked at Kent and said, "Kent, give me a hand." Two of you died, and you gave Shui Xinyue a handful. There's one more. Kent hesitated, then reluctantly handed Yatu a hand. It's the same two magazines, but it's full of twenty rounds. Yatu checked. Satisfied, put it away.
Qin Tai's machete used the pie again, and fifty or sixty people picked up the big stick in their hands, which was also full of momentum. Suddenly, a group of jaguar panthers rushed out, and everyone was shocked, these beasts are not easy to deal with, whether it is speed or killing skills, they are the best in the American jungle. It's just that the jaguar panther ignored us and ran away on its own. In our amazed time. Herds of bears, chimpanzees, cougars and other beasts are running forward. Yatu suddenly said: "It's not good, there is a big danger coming from behind." It could be that the flood is coming. ”
Wang Zongjun quickly climbed to a big tree beside him, looked at it, and shouted loudly: "Come up, everyone, come up, there is a flood over there." It's huge. The rumbling sound came to the front in an instant, and everyone hurriedly climbed towards the tree. There was no rain in the area, and even the raft was not tied to the raft and hurriedly went up the tree.
The muddy flood washed through the trees in an instant, and the small trees by the river had long been swept away by the river. Even these big trees hugged by a few people also swayed in the flood, which scared our nerves. Clung to the branches, he looked pale at the rushing flood beneath his feet. More than a dozen rafts had been swept away by the floodwaters, but luckily two of them were stuck in the branches below. But he also swayed in the flood, not knowing if he could survive to the end.
There was a 'click' sound. The tree we were in collapsed. The partisans in Yatu were not spared, and several large trees with large numbers of people all fell. The raft has been washed away. We didn't dare to leave the tree, so we had to go down the river. The ferocious waves engulfed us from time to time, and Lu Liang coughed and said, "Boss, what should we do, we will be swept into the sea if we continue like this." ”
I said angrily, "It would be nice if it was rolled into the sea." It's thousands of kilometers from the sea, and it's much safer in the sea than here. Before we could finish speaking, several large tree trunks crashed into our trees, and the large trees deviated from the course and drifted towards the trees on the side. I said with emotion: "Qin Tai's words have come true. You see, there is only one of those big trees left, and if you take a raft, you can really paddle to the center of the Lost Forest.
Zhang Qian said: "Boss, you still have the strength to speak, you are really a monster, there is no strength outside, and now you can hold the tree and even use the strength to eat." "Even though it was in the rainforest, everyone was pale, not just frightened, but cold. From time to time, patches of snow and ice appeared in the flood, all of which seemed to pulse down from the Andes. In recent years, due to the impact of global warming, the snow melt in the Andes has become faster, and today, with this heavy rain, I am afraid that there will be more than one avalanche. That's why so much ice is flowing here.
Ye Simin shook his head and said, "It's not ice and snow in the Andes, it's hail. "Hail? Hail the size of a basin? This is also too scary, if the ramp is on the person, is there still a life? Zhang Qiang didn't believe it, so she fished a small piece with a branch, and sure enough, it was oval, and it was really hail. Everyone was silent when they looked at the big hail in the basin, which had melted a lot in the water, and there was still such a thing, I really don't know how amazing it would be when it just fell.
The big tree slammed down, and it turned out that it had already floated into the grove on the shore. This feeling of not drifting down the river reassures everyone a lot, and can reduce a lot of uncertain dangers. The thunderstorm was still raging, the whirlwind clouds were drifting back and forth, and everyone was nervous as they watched the black whirlpool turn back. I just got out of danger, and I didn't expect to be in danger so soon. In this rolling torrent, how to resist the power of thunder and lightning? You can climb to the ground there, but here? Even if you get into the water, the water is still a conductor. If you don't go into the water, wouldn't a large tree just so much above the water be the best lightning channeling device?
The blue-purple arc loomed in the black clouds, and from time to time a thunderous thunder shook the surface of the water and turned up a monstrous wave, and the big tree was pressed into the water by the big wave, and then bounced up violently, I could no longer hold on to the trunk of the tree, and was swept away by the big wave at once. At the time of the overboard, I saw several people falling into the water.
I rushed out of the water, and before I could breathe, a wave pushed me down. I finally understood why the news said that it was difficult for the crew to escape after the shipwreck. Even if you wear a life jacket, it just keeps you from sinking to the bottom. However, the waves that are several meters high will press you into the water one after another, or hit you, and the cause of death is mostly due to lack of oxygen. So in the windy and rough water, it doesn't make sense to know how to swim at all.
Trembling, I found a miniature oxygen tank in my backpack and stuffed it into my mouth. Since the last time I used it in the Kunlun Labyrinth, everyone knows his effectiveness, so this time I came to the Amazon jungle, and the country specially equipped each of us with a box. Everyone knows that there are the most rivers in the Amazon, so there is a strong demand for more, and after discussion, the country has an extra box for each person. Each box contains ten miniature oxygen cylinders, each of which can breathe fifteen to twenty times, in other words, fifteen to twenty minutes. Of course, it's just that under normal circumstances, if you are doing strenuous exercise, you don't have that much time.
I was driven by the current to drift downstream, I didn't want to resist, and I couldn't resist. Just go with the flow, trying to develop yourself under the water. The clouds were getting lower and lower, and the purple-black arcs of electricity grazed the water from time to time, and I felt numb all over my body underwater. There were some bands in front of me, and I struggled to keep myself from bumping into them. Slowly getting closer and closer, I could see clearly what was in front of me, and it was actually a water snake. They twisted their bodies, weaving up and down on them, occasionally burrowing out of the water and sinking into the water with an arc of electricity. It's not a water snake, it's an electric eel. How can a two- or three-meter-long electric eel, which is a typical sea creature, appear here?
Looking at these things, I asked, and my scalp tingled for a while. Such a long electric eel can electrocute a cow in a large discharge. I know how vulnerable people are in front of them. As long as they unleash a trace of electricity on me, I will never go back.
I was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find tree roots in front of me. Just a piece of high ground. I hurriedly swam over, even if there were electric eels I was not afraid, as long as I reached the high ground, I would soon get rid of the immersion out of the water. After such a long time of soaking, I already feel weak, and my body is more like cotton wool, white and soft. If there is no blood, if it continues like this, even if it will not die of pulmonary edema, it will die of failure because the heart cannot withstand the pressure.
The electric eels didn't seem to notice me, and none of them came. I was secretly glad to swim to the base of the tree and slowly stood up, the water at my waist. I stretched my waist comfortably, moved my arms, and looked at the big tree above my head, although the leaves were also full of holes, but it was much better than being drenched in the heavy rain. The black clouds were still lingering, and the purple-black arc was still streaked across the water. From time to time, electric eels surged out of the water surface, and occasionally a few fierce beasts turned into roast meat in the blink of an eye, and were eaten by the electric eels. Only then did I understand why the electric eel didn't attack me.
I took out a ham sausage in my backpack and put it in my mouth, and rested for a while before I felt better. I took out the old barbecue, which was now blistered and white, I sniffed it, shook my head and threw it into the water. A raft floated in the distance, but it was empty. I don't know if it's ours or someone else's, but no matter who it is, I don't dare to take it on the water surface of the power grid. A human head suddenly came out from under the raft, it was Qin Tai. (To be continued......)
