Chapter Seventy-Four: The Primeval Jungle of Terror
Chapter Seventy-Four: The Primeval Jungle of Terror
In the vast Amazon jungle, there is a team patronizing at this moment.
The team is armed with miniature submachine guns, pistols, military daggers...... Wait, there's even a strong man with a bazooka on his shoulder, which is a portable anti-tank weapon and is hugely powerful!
In tropical jungles, automatic rifles are usually densely wooded and have a narrow space, and the lethality of automatic rifles is strong, but their size and rate of fire are limited, and they are not suitable for developing their own firepower in small spaces. On the contrary, the miniature submachine gun is small, agile, and has good firepower, which makes it easier to fight!
In addition, jungle warfare must be supplemented by daggers and pistols, and in the event of an encounter with an enemy and it is too late to use a gun, a dagger is the best choice. Don't underestimate the dagger, jungle combat without a dagger will greatly affect the combat ability of the combatant!
As members of the most powerful mercenary group in Europe and the United States, the "Blood Fangs", they naturally do not fail to pay attention to these common senses.
The "Blood Fangs" are one of the top 10 mercenaries in the world, and this time they have accepted the mission of the Accent Group to find a blood-colored orchid in the Amazon......
No one wants to come to the Amazon, and the danger in the Amazon is too high. The animals and plants inside are all life-threatening, and if they are not careful, this may be the place where they hide their bones.
But the price offered by Accent Group is really exciting, 150 million US dollars! That's a lot of money......
What is Mercenary?
That's a warrior who fights for his patron purely for profit, and that's a mercenary!
Money touches people's hearts, and the Blood Fang Mercenary Group is moved. After the bargaining, the hiring fee was raised to 160 million US dollars, and with that, the most elite team of the Blood Fangs arrived in the Amazon Jungle, which is now eighteen people......
Brian is a veteran, and a retired member of the U.S. Navy SEALs. He was employed by the Bloodtooth Mercenary Regiment and had served on missions in Iraq. He fought for money, because a few years in the mercenary world was worth a few decades as a soldier.
A few days ago, Bloodtooth accepted the assignment of the Accent Group, and Brian volunteered to sign up, and today they finally came to the Amazon.
At this time, Brian was walking in front and was opening the way. There are simply no roads for you to walk in this primeval jungle, and here are not movies and novels, where the law of the immortality of the protagonist does not appear! So, opening the way is a very dangerous job, because it is often the first person to be attacked.
"Oh, Shet...... Captain, maybe our best trip is to go back. This place is so dangerous, I almost got bitten by a poisonous spider......" Bryan complained as he opened the way ahead.
The captain's name is Williams, and he is a middle-aged strong man: "No! no! You idiot, you should be careful. We're here for $160 million, and if we get the job done, I think we'll all be millionaires! ”
"Yes, Brian. The captain is right, you're a coward, I think you should consider going back yourself. Haha......"
"Haha... Haha......" The rest of the team laughed.
Brian glared at Davis: "Davis, you damn bastard, wait until you're bitten by a poisonous spider and then laugh at you!" ”……
As you go deeper, the dangers of the jungle come one after another. The Bloodtooth Mercenaries encountered caimans, piranhas, the Lotus Aiqing bird that walked on its wings, the king man-eating lotus that could sit on the leaves, the eight-meter-long forest snake, and the ghost-like South American black panther. Danger is everywhere, Brian still can't escape the doom, being bitten by a poisonous spider, fortunately they carry the antidote serum, and finally save their lives.
And Davis, who laughed at Brian, was also bitten by a poisonous snake and was saved by a shot of serum.
At this moment, the Bloodfang Mercenary Group cursed, and they already regretted coming to the Amazon Jungle. This place is so dangerous that if you are not careful, you will die here.
Countless animals and plants that cost human life are more terrible than the enemies they fought in war. After all, the enemy on the battlefield is at least visible to them and can defend effectively. But danger is everywhere in the jungle, and a small bug around you can kill you when you're not looking. Or a flower butterfly that flies by, maybe it's poisonous, and when you touch it, you're definitely going to be poisoned by it.
Rainforest tree frogs, some poisonous insects and a variety of poisonous tree vines are numerous, and death is very common here.
The eighteen members of the Bloodfang Mercenary Regiment finally spent three days deep into the jungle and came to a tributary of the Amazon River.
During these three days, they were devastated, not only physically, but also psychologically. However, they are worthy of the most elite mercenaries, although their spirits are not shocked, they are still moving forward in an orderly manner.
Davis: "Damn! Prepare your ship when you know it early. ”
Brian confronted him, "Idiot, ship? That bulky guy is only a fool to bring, and besides, didn't we bring an inflatable boat? ”
Captain Williams: "Alright, you guys take a break. Martinson, you go and inflate the inflatable boat, and we'll cross the river. According to the map, you only need to cross this tributary and climb over six mountains to reach your destination. And we're going to do it in five days. Guys, I guess you guys have no problem! ”
Five inflatable boats were inflated, and eighteen people boarded the inflatable boats one after another.
The inflatable boat floated on the river, looking out at the edge of the river, where the green and shining plants at the edge of the river were shaking, and in the brown billowing river, there were flakes of shaking debris.
"The Amazon basin is one of the last few primitive lands on earth, and the tribes here are largely untouched by modern civilization, still hunting birds and apes, fishing with bows and arrows, and growing cassava. They are lagging behind, but we need their help, and I think we should go and find them and let them lead the way for us. This can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles. ”
Davis: "That's a good note, at least it will avoid a lot of wrong routes, because our maps are very rough and a lot of routes are hard to identify. And we are not familiar with the area here, so it is best to find an indigenous person to lead the way. ”
Others echoed and agreed.
A few hours later, we reached the opposite shore. Everyone got off the inflatable boat one after another. Leave a team member to clean up and let go of all the gas in the inflatable boat, so that it is easy to carry.
Suddenly, a crimson berry fell from a low branch in the sky, and disappeared into the water with a 'plop~', and did not rise to the surface again.
A curious member of the team shook the branches, and the berries immediately fell like a torrential rain, and the sound of splashing broke the silence of the forest.
"Haha...... Now you can enjoy the fresh fruits of the Amazon! One of the team members laughed, ran quickly into the river, and scooped up the berries in the river.
The exocarp of this berry is one to several layers of parenchyma cells, and the mesocarp is generally indistinguishable from the endocarp, a bit like a tomato. But it's much smaller than a tomato, about one-third the size of a tomato. It's red, and it looks like you want to take a bite.
"You don't want to die? Do you know if this fruit is poisonous or not? Captain Williams suddenly stopped the team member and glared angrily.
"Uh~!" The team member smiled awkwardly and was about to withdraw his hand that was reaching for fruit in the water......
Suddenly.
As the water surged, a school of fish leaped out of the deep water and scrambled to bite the team's hand and leg that was submerged in the current.
"Ah......h
Captain Williams said: "It's a piranha in this water, and he's hopeless!" You can only save the piranha with one more piece of food. ”
The screams of the team members did not last long, and in less than a minute, a skeleton sank to the bottom of the river, washed away by the rapid river, and disappeared in an instant......
"Oh... Damn it! I think we'd better go back. ”
"God, we just swam over the heads of a group of piranhas, and if we fell, we would definitely be dead."
They have seen a lot about death, and since they entered the Amazon, they have all been prepared for death. Every mission is dangerous, and if you're unlucky, it's death. While they have great rewards, the rewards are often directly proportional to the risks! Suddenly one of the team members died, they did not panic, but apparently the vigilance increased.
Captain Williams said, "Alright, guys, I think this is just the beginning. It's time for us to hit the road, and if we find the blood-colored orchid as soon as possible, we can get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, and I think it's better for us to focus on finding the blood-colored orchid. There are great rewards waiting for us, aren't they! ”
Packing up, the members of the Bloody Fang Mercenary Regiment set off.
What they didn't know was that their whereabouts had already been noticed when they first stepped into the Amazon......
Unbeknownst to the Bloodfangs, they were targeted by the terrifying Jungle Demons, who were still complaining and cursing everything. Perhaps after they saw a behemoth of more than 30 meters, they would really regret coming to the Amazon......
Even if they are used to death, some things are often more terrible than death...... [bookid=2705541,bookname="Warrior King of the Republic of China"]
