It is worth mentioning that most of the equipment they brought with them has been destroyed after the plane crash. After careful consideration www.biquge.info they decided to take food and water, a belt-type indexer, two steel axes, a small shovel, first-aid medicines (such as serum and antibiotics), a submachine gun, a pistol, sixteen glow sticks, eight smart helmets, a magazine belt with twenty submachine gun magazines attached to it (each magazine had thirty-six bullets), and a few seemingly useless things that I didn't know if they would come in handy, such as Bonita's sunscreen and Elena's lipstick.

Thankfully, the smart helmet hasn't been smashed like an indexer to the point where one remains, which is perhaps the most joyful thing since the crash.

Because these camouflage-colored smart helmets are a must-have item for jungle exploration, wearing them, including the ears, half of the head above the nose is wrapped. The eye is a display that has night vision mode, infrared mode, and even the magnification function of a telescope. And the most amazing thing is that it not only improves the wearer's eyesight, but also improves the hearing to a level comparable to that of a dog.

Except for Jin Yi and Yoland, who walked ahead, and Atfield, who was sleepy, the rest of them all carried bulging backpacks.

In order to save power, only Jin Yi, who led the way in front, turned on the infrared mode of the helmet, and they should be grateful that they were not in a tropical jungle, otherwise they would see a large patch of red after turning on the infrared mode.

Jin Yi intently explored the situation ahead, sometimes he would suck a thin film of mineral water, and every time this time, he would hold the slender wooden stick under his armpit.

Kirkman also asked why he was holding a stick, and his answer was very succinct: "I don't want to get lost." ”

On their journey away from the crash site, they saw many mysterious and terrifying creatures, such as: winged snakes that can rip off their skin and glide through the air, two-headed centipedes with hundreds of legs, fire-headed ants that tear porcupines with ant sea tactics, giant tortoises as burly as a hill, gophers covered in scales, red nematodes that drift in the wind in search of parasites, swarms of long-horned rabbits rolling all over the ground, beetles with strange blue bodies, drum frogs that blend with the dead leaves of ancient trees, weevil-trunked pigs with long trunks, A small lizard that inhabits the remains of an animal in the white forest.

Along the way, they were attracted by these spiritual creatures, and the small shovel served an important purpose when someone needed to go to the toilet. They would dig a big hole in the soil, pull the big and small ones into the hole, and finally bury the excrement deep in the ground. If they don't, some beasts with a keen sense of smell will track them down through the smell of excrement, and in the wild jungle, no one dares to relax for a moment, no one knows what strange creatures they will encounter next, and they will not be surprised if a large man-eating tree suddenly appears. Finally, they stopped under a thirty-meter-tall ancient tree.

The old trees are not straight, and the thick trunks are full of sinuous branches. There are many ancient trees like this around, and the dense foliage layer hides the soft sunlight, and some of the sparse sunlight flows through the leaf layer on the ground, reflecting the mottled leaf shadows, but they don't have the heart to appreciate the artistic leaf shadows at the moment.

"I'll go up first, and you'll be on guard." Jin Yi threw down the stick in his hand and handed the submachine gun and magazine belt to Kirkman, who pulled the indexer from the latter's backpack and put it on his waist, and then took out a steel axe from Thundering's backpack.

Looking at the ancient tree, which required at least five big men to embrace, he pressed the launch button without hesitation. With a click, the indexer's barb shot at the ancient tree like an arrow off the bow, followed by a pop, and the barb firmly hooked a branch about fifteen meters from the ancient tree.

Because they only have one indexer, and everyone basically has a load, they don't plan to use the indexer to directly climb the branches of the ancient tree, but to climb it by manpower.

Although the indexer provided a buffer for Jin to fall, the ancient tree that used moss as clothing was not easy to climb, and if he accidentally stepped on the air, he pulled the tightrope, and after confirming that there was no problem, he prepared to use the axe to cut down a small piece of the tree as a foothold.

"Be careful." Yolande reminded that Atfield, who was still asleep on his back, didn't have the slightest intention of watching the climb.

"Look at me opening a road to heaven for you," Jin also quipped, and then he gazed intently at the top of the ancient tree.

He continued to use his axe to cut footholds on the trunks of trees that were neither deep nor large, and with each foothold he climbed up to another foothold. In order to take care of the rest of the people who are not taller than him, he also deliberately controlled the gap between each foothold to about 30 centimeters. In less than five minutes he had climbed to a height of about fifteen meters, where there were several tough branches, which reached a diameter of more than a meter at the widest point, and they were fully qualified as a dwelling place to stay overnight. The dense foliage overhead acts as a natural barrier to shelter from the wind and rain, as well as from the birds of prey in the air.

When he climbed the branch, he first cut down four flexible vines about ten meters long, and he used one vine to tie himself to the branch. Then he unfastened the indexer at his waist. He grabbed the indexer's barb, and after pressing the unlock key, the indexer slowly fell downward under the force of gravity. After making sure that the person below had the indexer, he threw the barb and the three flexible vines down.

Kirkman was the second climber, and with the help of the rest of the men, he used the vines to tie himself to the thick trunk, but he was not tied to death, and there was room between him and the trunk to make the climb.

Protected by indexers and vines, the rest of the group soon climbed the ancient tree, and in order to reduce the load on the branches, they divided into four teams to live on different branches.

Thunder and Kim are on the team, Kirkman is on the team with Elena, Yolande is on the team with Garcia, and the sleepy Atfield is on the team with Bonita.

"Great, let's talk about how to get out of the game now." Yolande said as he rode on the branch, in fact, everyone was on horseback, including Atfield, who was leaning against the trunk, and they all used vines to tie themselves to the branch, so that if they slipped and fell, they would not fall to their deaths.

"First of all, we need to let people know we're here." Bonita said.

"Then go through the captain's bag, there must be a navigator there." Yolande said, looking at the backpack behind Elena.

Kirkman scrambled through the backpack behind Elena, accidentally dropping several unknown objects in the process.

"Hey! Be careful, don't smash the navigator. Elena said as she looked at the smashed object on the ground.

"Found it", Kirkman excitedly held up a small white round device, the smooth surface of the device has a round button, and above the button are three gray circles.

"Turn it on!" Elena said angrily as she looked at Kirkman shaking her branches.

"Yes, ma'am," Kirkman pressed the button, but the three circles kept flashing red, "What bad luck!" He complained.

"What's wrong?" Kim also asked.

"The signal is not good!" Elena answered him.

"Damn," Kim said, smacking the branch lightly, "but it's not so bad, Kirkman, put it away." As long as it works, we can use it to connect with the civilized world. ”

"How do you get it connected?" Kirkman said, looking at the navigator that kept flashing red.

"Ugh. First we have to find a big lake, the bigger the better. Jin also said.

Lake? Everyone looked puzzled.

"You don't understand this, water can enhance the radiation range of the signal." Jin Yi taught like a teacher who hated iron but not steel, "To escape in the wilderness, you have to make good use of everything in nature, just like I kept holding a stick when I led the way just now, because each of us has a habitual leg, and I am accustomed to my left leg." If I didn't use a stick to orient us, my left leg would take us around the jungle little by little, and it might not take us a few days to get back to where we started, and getting lost in the jungle can be a terrible thing! He suddenly looked cautiously at the surroundings below, where the grass was green and moss-filled, patches of grass that did not know what strange insects were hiding in the wind, and the birds in the air sang a crisp song, perhaps it was the elegy they sang for themselves. He continued: "But you also have to watch out for everything in nature. After all, this is a wasteland, and no one knows when death will come. ”

Everyone followed his gaze to look at the scene below, and they all felt an inexplicable chill.

"Let's see what we have first." Yolande was the first to break the silence, and as he finished speaking, he rummaged through Garcia's backpack, which was stuffed with compressed biscuits and film mineral water, as well as nutritional capsules, which were essential for archaeological activities.

"It's a big hassle for us," said Yoland, holding a box of nutritional capsules, "and being a hunter in this place, who knows if it will become prey in the next second." ”

Everyone was rummaging through their backpacks or sorting out their weapons.

From time to time, the cold wind blows down one golden dead leaf after another, and it carries this group of light dance partners in the air to interpret prosperity and decay. As the sun fades over the horizon and night becomes the master of the earth, the hunters begin to pour out their nests.

"Take it", Kirkman handed the alarm he was playing with to Lei Ming, it was a small pyramid-shaped thing, except for the sound amplification groove on the bottom that resembled a sound, the rest of the four sides were pitch black and smooth. He said to Thunder, "Will you use it?" Looking at the dazed thunder, he added: "The spire above can be pressed down, and when you press it for three seconds, it will emit a unique sound wave, which will be captured by the smart helmet." ”

"How do you close it?" Lei Ming said.

"It's very simple, just press it three times in a row." Kirkman said. "Also, if you encounter an enemy, press the button near the left ear of your helmet into his eyes, and the bright white light will instantly blind him. Of course, this is in the case of night. ”

"I said Kirkman, you kid knows a lot." Kim also said.

"I used to be a medic," Kirkman said proudly.

"I said military doctor, let's just pour a scoop of cold water on the captain and forget it, this is how we were woken up when we were captured and tortured in the past." Yolande said.

"I don't care what the after-effects," Kirkman said, waving his hand, "let him wake up naturally, I think he will wake up tomorrow." ”

"Don't wake up tonight, or you won't know what's going on if you fall, ahaha." Jin Yi smiled heartlessly.

"You've always been this virtuous." Yolande looked in Jin Yi's direction and said, in fact, he could only see Jin Yi's general body outline without turning on any mode.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the cold wind is passing from time to time, and the temperature at night in the wasteland may be close to zero degrees Celsius, and the four seasons underwear worn by everyone has become black and blue, and when the four seasons underwear has completely turned blue, it means that the temperature has dropped below zero degrees Celsius. Listening to the howls of animals that rang out from time to time nearby, they knew it was time to shut up.

"Damn, it's a dark and windy night, and it's really out of reach." Yolande said, "Okay guys, let me explain where we are now. Each of us had ten hundred milliliters of water and twelve nutritional capsules and ten packets of compressed biscuits. It's not hard to find food and water in the jungle, so we don't have to worry too much about energy intake. As long as we can successfully evade those predators, then we have a good chance of returning to civilization. His eyes looked a little hollow, because the dark night made his eyes not know where to focus, and he didn't mean to turn on the night vision mode, because he didn't want to waste the power of the smart helmet.

"Abandonment of scientific research?" Kirkman said with a look of dismay, he had always wanted to get a werewolf body.

"I had to give up." Bonita was also disappointed, she and Elena had always wanted to get in touch with werewolf civilization, so they resigned from the Localization Institute and joined the team that died in their own name.

"Okay, I said everyone, let's get some rest, we still have to hurry tomorrow morning." Yolande lay down on the branch, Garcia leaned against the trunk and prepared to fall asleep, and the rest of the people were napping, except for Thunder who was looking around with the infrared mode turned on, because he was the first to watch the night.

"Thunder, remember to wake me up in an hour." Jin Yi fell silent as he leaned against the trunk of a tree and slumbered.
