The group walked in the rainforest where the road was difficult, or there was no road at all, but this area was indeed easier to walk in than the normal rainforest area, as their captain Jack Rouin had said before.

"Maybe it has something to do with the quality and structure of the subsoil here! It seems to be close to the soil layer of a normal forest, unlike the previous rainforest areas, which were mostly fragile humus. ”

The male doctor, one of the two scientists in the team, squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt and said.

He and his girlfriend are both biologists, and they know a little about geology but are not so proficient, so they also do a rough analysis.

But Captain Jack, who had walked in front, turned back and said:

"I think it may be related to the legendary cannibal tribe, it is likely that there was originally an ancient primitive tribal life here, which has brought some changes to the surrounding environment over the years, making this place more suitable for human activities!"

After listening to Jiekun's statement, the male doctor was noncommittal, but the female doctor said with some agreement:

"The captain's statement is very in line with scientific principles, human activities can indeed cause changes to the environment, even if the indigenous people do not cultivate wasteland, nor can they build bridges and pave roads, but just the feces they leave behind and the ashes left by the fire, the accumulation of a long time can make the soil of an area more like the outside environment!"

Hearing the female doctor's words, Sears, the seemingly rough but actually very careful captain of the mercenaries, stared at the ground under his feet without a trace, and suddenly became a little alert.

And the playboy York walked behind the female doctor with a smile on his face, staring at the other party with peach blossom eyes full of appreciation and echoing:

"What Dr. Jones said seems to make a lot of sense! I don't know, doctor, do you think there will be indigenous tribes in this area? ”

When the female doctor, surnamed Jones, heard this, as if she did not feel York's fiery gaze, she replied bluntly:

"From the surrounding environment, the soil here is different from the usual rainforest, and the trees are a little sparse, and I think there is a 50 percent chance that there was human activity in the vicinity, and of course it could have been human activity many years ago, and these environmental changes are just a legacy of them."

Dr. Jones's boyfriend also didn't notice that the top of his head was about to turn green, and said seriously:

"I've just seen some creatures around that are obviously tropical, but more common in ordinary tropical or subtropical forests, which should have been brought here by birds, beasts or air currents, indicating that the environment here is different from the real rainforest, which can make them suitable for growing here, of course, it is not excluded that these plants have adapted to the environment of the rainforest, but I think the former guess is more likely to be correct."

Listening to the three of them, the Sears became even more vigilant, and quietly made a hidden gesture to Alice and the lewd man Lopez.

The two of them suddenly looked at each other, received the boss's signal, and were silent on the surface, but secretly they had begun to be on guard.

As for the boy from York, he is now flirting with the female doctor, or unilateral flirting, and he has not noticed the hints of his boss at all.

Sears simply ignored this criticism, anyway, it was enough for three people in the team to be vigilant, he was very confident in the strength of himself and his teammates, even if York, an unreliable little white face, really fought, it would not lose to those excellent special forces, and he and Alice and Lopez had been walking between life and death all year round, and had developed an instinctive combat instinct, and it was this intuition that played a role in how many missions allowed them to get out smoothly.

This time will be no different.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Claxton Biopharma gave too much, and the employer was still a pharmaceutical giant Bald Eagle, they couldn't afford to offend this kind of force, Sears really didn't want to lead a team to do tasks in the harsh environment of the rainforest on Bonizhou Island.

The least favorite mission environment for mercenaries like them, that is, the desert and the water, both of which are environments that cannot exert their combat effectiveness and survivability, once they fall into a desperate situation, even if their strength exceeds that of the vast majority of humans, but after all, they do not exceed the limit of human ability, they will die of thirst if they have no water, and they will drown if they soak in the water for a long time.

Although Sears also hates the environment of the tropical rainforest, it is a little stronger than the above two places, and the most troublesome danger is just the complex terrain and all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts, but at least there is ground under the feet, and there is no lack of water and food sources.

Just as these thoughts flashed through Sybil's mind, he suddenly turned to the left as if his body had been on his guard, and then he heard a slight muffled sound on the trees behind him.

The sharp-eyed Alice saw that it was a slender thing with a tiny feather on its tail, and her pupils instantly contracted, because it was a sharpened bone needle.

"Enemy attack!"

Sears shouted a warning after the ghost narrowly avoided this sneak attack.

All this happened in an instant, and the other people in the team didn't react for some reason!

Except for a few mercenaries, only Zhang Lin immediately reacted that this was a sneak attack on the team, and the target was obviously Sears, the most powerful of them with independent blood.

However, he controlled his dodge in time, and looked towards Sears in a daze like everyone else.

As the first blow failed, the forest not far away suddenly remembered a strange cry and the sound of the body crashing through the branches and leaves of the plants.

Soon the crowd saw a group of savages dressed in rudimentary weaves, barely clothed, and some of them were dressed as vines and leaves, and their exposed skin was an unusual brownish-red color.

These primitively dressed savages, their faces painted with strange paints, each brandished with short hairs or axes made of stone or bone tied to branches, and charged at them.

At this moment, everyone reacted, and immediately some people let out a scream of fear, wanting to flee and hide in all directions.

But he was immediately interrupted by a loud shout from Sears:

"Get down, get down, get out of place!" At the same time, he also slapped the male doctor who was still stunned in front of him to the ground.

The rest of the people subconsciously obeyed the commands of the dignified mercenary captain, and at that moment, the three members of the scientific expedition team and the two people on the Jie Kun side all lay on the ground, while the four mercenaries were all half-crouching to find cover to dodge, and at the same time, the weapons in their hands were already ready to launch.

"Whoosh ......"

"Bang ......"

The moment everyone lay down, short spears or stones flew from the savage's side, and if there was no reminder from the experienced mercenary captain, I am afraid that this wave of weapon projection alone could bring more than one casualty to the team.

And the mercenaries' counterattack was also very powerful, and the three of them, including the golden-haired man York who reacted immediately, raised their guns as soon as possible, and aimed at the enemy's figure is a wave of point shots.

Although it was a burst fire, the automatic rifles in the hands of several people still fired nearly 100 rounds of bullets, which was still pressed and beaten, after all, although the ammunition they carried was sufficient, it was not infinite.

Even if the mercenaries hurriedly fought back, instead of aiming and shooting in a stable state, with the feel that the four of them had trained on the battlefield for many years, this wave also knocked down at least a dozen savages in an instant, of which five or six were harvested on the spot, and the rest even if they did not die at that time, they lost their combat effectiveness, and they would still die if they were not effectively treated in the end.
