Chapter 2 Self-recommendation
In the bar, Bi Fang drained a whole glass of ice water, shivering in the summer.
Borneo, the rainy season can't explain anything, it's too normal, the original world also has it, but the blood orchid, the word is too eye-catching.
Anaconda scourge.
A well-known monster film, a milestone work of snake monsters.
In the movie, the python that is huge, but moves extremely fast, completely violates the existing rules of evolution, and can only appear thanks to the blood orchid.
Did you travel into the plot of the movie?
Bi Fang's thumb, who realized this, kept drawing circles over and over again.
The Python Scourge has a terrible rating, but that doesn't mean it's not an excellent work.
Whenever the "protagonist" on the screen, the giant python, appears, it always sends chills down the spine and creeps.
This is enough to prove that it was successful, however, also due to the success of the terrifying image of the python, it means that the depths of the Borneo rainforest are extremely dangerous today.
The world's large snakes are divided into two families – pythons and pythons.
Both are relatively primitive snakes with a similar bone structure, the main difference being that pythons are oviparous and anaconds are ovoviviparous.
They are not all large either, and many species are less than 1 meter long.
However, regardless of their size, all kinds of pythons and pythons have excellent strangulation and devouring abilities, and can prey on prey that are relatively large compared to their own body size, and can last for several months at the same time.
The snake eats elephants, and the bones emerge from the age of three, which is a good summary.
The big snake in reality is far less terrifying than in the movie, the python is huge, can move slowly, and like the crocodile, it is the most typical opportunity predator, and will not actively pursue and hunt like a tiger and leopard wolf, but will quietly wait for the prey to step into it like a trap.
This slowness is not a disadvantage in nature, on the contrary, it is an advantage and is one of the root causes of pythons that eat one meal and live enough for several months.
Fast speed is an evolutionary direction, such as cheetahs, which have a higher success rate in hunting.
The slow speed is also low, the metabolism is low, and eating a meal of ten meals reduces the probability of being killed and starved to death.
But the fast, big and fierce in the movie is completely contrary to the underlying logic constructed by the designer who Bi Fang understands nature, and it can only be said that it is because of the bug of the blood orchid.
Now that I have come to the world in it, I must face the super python that is also a bug.
Bi Fang's thumb stopped spinning, pressed against the glass, and let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled.
Come on, that's pretty cool.
Isn't Borneo like this more interesting than the original Earth?
On the other side, several people who entered the hotel took off their raincoats one after another, shuttled through the crowd, and after getting the bartender's answer, they began to consciously move towards Bi Fang's left-hand side, while shouting the name of "Jin Song".
Bi Fang watched silently, and then everything was the same as he remembered, the group found the Asian first mate, and then met with Captain Bill Johnson, and learned that Jin Song was just a misunderstanding caused by a local pronunciation problem.
After some unfriendly exchanges, the four of them still had to agree to the captain's offer of 25,000 to charter the ship and 50,000 to charter the captain to sail, and then left.
At this time, Bi Fang also happened to take the good wine handed by the bartender, and he immediately stepped forward to say hello when he knew that the time had come.
"Hey, Johnson, would you be interested in having me join you and get one more guest on board?"
Bi Fang put his arm around Johnson's shoulder, handed the wine to the captain, and sat down next to him, very self-cooked.
Captain Johnson is a frequent visitor to the tavern and has also joined the "story club", and the two have already communicated with each other, so they are not too strange.
It's just that Johnson's name is too popular, so Bi Fang didn't think of the python disaster at all.
Johnson picked up the bottle and examined it carefully, put it in his arms with satisfaction, and raised an eyebrow at the foursome who were about to leave the tavern: "They've already rented my boat, you have to ask them." ”
Bi Fang shook his head: "No, I mean, let you have one more employee on your ship." ”
I don't know what the idea is in the movie, the group of people looking for the blood orchid seem to have no sense of secrecy at all, and when they are looking for a boat, they start to discuss the flowering period of the blood orchid in front of everyone.
But this doesn't mean that Bi Fang can easily blend into their team, after all, it is a strange plant that is suspected of having abilities such as "immortality" and "evolution", no one wants to go upstream, and suddenly one wants to follow along, no matter how you think about it, it's too strange to think about it, not to mention that the two sides don't know each other at all.
Instead of bothering to sneak in to find the flower group, it is better to find the captain in front of you directly, so that the two sides have understood each other.
As a crew member, it is natural to follow the ship, which could not be more reasonable.
Johnson was puzzled: "Why? ”
"You know, I'm an adventurer, and I'm here to explore." Bi Fang smiled, "Of course, you don't have to pay me salary, it's too cost-effective, isn't it?" You don't need to spend a penny to have a master hunter, a survival expert, on board to go with you to the upper reaches of the dangerous river during the rainy season. ”
Johnson was speechless, and when you think about it, it really makes sense.
Bi Fang's hunting level has been fully revealed in this half a month, as for the survivability, he can go in and out of the rainforest of Borneo seven times, even if it is the periphery, it has already explained a lot, even if he is not an expert, at least he is a good hand, and it is absolutely not a loss to be a crew member on the ship, and the most important thing is not to ask for money.
"I think it's a good idea."
Ah Quan, the deputy on the side, said with a smile, maybe he is also Asian, Bi Fang made him feel cordial, and opened his mouth to help, "I asked, in addition to the four now, there are two people in the back who want to get on the boat, and they don't have any rainforest experience, and they have to go in to find some strange flowers, this is not easy, Mr. Fang joins, we will be more convenient, at least three people look at six people, you can see it." ”
Everyone knows how hard it is to take care of the inexperienced Xiaobai to enter the rainforest, especially when there are many people, and you will never know what "talent" is waiting for you inside.
Thinking of this, Johnson's heart moved.
Bi Fang struck while the iron was hot: "I think Ah Quan is right, it's dangerous to go upstream in the rainy season, isn't it?" These six people are clumsy, you will not be busy, and when the time comes, all of them will be handed over to me, and you can just drive the boat. ”
"Well, I have to admit it, you convinced me." Johnson was not too stubborn, and shook hands with Bi Fang, "Welcome to your board, my new crew." ”
In the film, Johnson, as the last survivor, naturally appears in a positive image.
At the same time, Bi Fang has long proved that he will never be a drag oil bottle, he is a reliable helper, plus he is not a bad person, every time he hits more prey, he will share it with everyone, Johnson did not resist too much, and immediately agreed.
Bi Fang and Ah Quan glanced at each other and laughed.
"Roger, Captain!"
