Chapter 166: A Thousand Years of Solitude (1)
As soon as the megalodon spoke, the twins and hurried also said that they had similar problems. But Zhou Daoan knew it very well in his heart - these people, like himself, had all experienced shipwrecks and were scripted to be put on a beach. The damage they took was about the same!
Although he is only an IN+ level body, he can't get up at all without the blessing of Dreadnought. And the few people in front of them, except for the megalodon, which is an obvious physical madman, may be able to have a certain resistance to the damage of shipwrecks, and the rest of them will not be much stronger than themselves! They must all have similar "health regeneration" abilities or items. Like what...... The tobacco chewing in the mouths of the two cowboys, as well as the dark purple lines like blood vessels on their skin, were now getting lighter and lighter, as if they were a sign that the "effect" was about to pass.
He had a judgment on these "companions" in his heart, but Zhou Daoan would not refuse their request, so he immediately checked the bodies of several people, and found that they were indeed some external injuries, so he comforted a few people, and said that he did not have any good medicine at hand at present - under the limitations of the system, medicines beyond the medical level of the 15th century in this world could not be carried, so after entering the jungle for a while, he could find some herbs to heal everyone.
However, some bruises can be resolved immediately. Zhou Daoan took out the unidentified scalpel - because it was not identified, the scalpel could not play any special effects, and could only be used as a scalpel. And the history of the scalpel is long enough that it is not banned in this mission world.
After releasing bruises on two relatively serious bruises for the megalodon and the twins, they all said that they felt a lot better, and they also believed in Zhou Daoan's "doctor" setting.
As for the hurry, she refused to use the knife for fear of scarring.
"Codename, ...... answer"
The last thing to introduce himself was a camouflage uniform, and his voice was very steady, "Zoologist, have some knowledge of survival in the wild." ”
Finished? This introduction is really concise and to the point. Several people didn't seem to be satisfied with the introduction of camouflage uniforms, and the cowboy Kang Bao applauded directly and said, "It's good, we have a herbalist and an animal scholar in our team, can't we wade across this jungle?" ”
The camouflage uniform simply ignored the cowboy's cynicism and just stood aside with his hands folded.
In desperation, Cowboy Combo had no choice but to show his leadership again, saying: "We are going to spend three whole days in this jungle, and we will definitely suffer more than one type of danger." This is inevitable in terms of the nature of the urine system, and each of us must be prepared to bleed......
"Luckily, we have doctors, translators, and wilderness survivors on our team, so the natural environment will be a lot less troublesome for us...... But it is also sad that our combat effectiveness is frighteningly low! With weapons and equipment disabled, our combat effectiveness may not be comparable to that of a leopard. Therefore, my advice is that everyone must hold a group and never act alone.
"Second, it's best for us to find a suitable place to stay in this jungle, rest for a few hours first, let the doctor help us heal the wounds on our bodies, and ask the wilderness survivors to find some food to help us solve our hunger and thirst problems......"
Although Kang Bao's words are suspected of pointing fingers, judging from the current situation, there is nothing wrong with his plan at all.
So, six ferrymen formed a small group and walked from the beach towards the jungle, just after 1 hour.
Walking in the front is naturally the only combat power in the current squad - megalodon! The world he came from seemed to be in the Cold Weapon Age, so there were no restrictions on the weapons he carried on his back - a round wooden shield and a single-edged axe with a short arm, and two daggers at his waist.
The single-edged axe acts as a mountain opener, splitting through the huge foliage and vines that are characteristic of tropical jungles. With the power of the megalodon, it is not difficult to open the way, but the natural growth of this primeval jungle plant is quite savage, and the leaves that obstruct the path seem to never be cut down. After walking for about one and a half hours, the megalodon took turns exchanging left and right hands, and they were all too tired.
The crowd had to stop and rest. In fact, this hard-boiled path is also quite difficult to follow. In one and a half hours, the ferrymen may have walked a little more than three kilometers.
However, in the process of traveling, because the speed is not fast, the ferrymen except for the megalodon do not consume much. All of them have adapted to the climate of this tropical jungle through their own unique adaptations.
For example, the cowboy brothers, after entering the rainforest at the beginning, the denim shirts they wore were quickly soaked with sweat, and the beads of sweat on their faces were rolling continuously. But when he rested at this time, Zhou Daoan suddenly found that after the two brothers took out the tobacco and chewed it, they quickly became refreshed.
The female ferryman was in a hurry, constantly taking deep breaths as she went, and with each breath, a faint purple mist came out of her mouth. Because this way of breathing is too conspicuous, he hurriedly explained to everyone that the environment of the world he lives in is very bad, and the human beings in that world will have a unique breathing filtration method to expel moisture, heat, poisonous gas, and so on from the body.
The "answer", a wild survivor, seems to be completely unaffected by the climate of the tropical rainforest, his steps are light and agile, wearing a full-coverage camouflage uniform, but he does not sweat at all, it seems that this level of progress has no effect on him. He's also the easiest of the six.
As for Zhou Daoan, his physique was only slightly better than that of ordinary people, but basic herbology helped him. In the process of just traveling, he had already harvested three herbs. One is the bark of a tree called baoko, which treats bacterial infections and protects the skin, and the bark of another tree, the red gubori tree, protects against insect bites and microbial infections.
Relying on these two uncommon materials, although Zhou Daoan sweated a lot along the way, fortunately he was not disturbed by mosquitoes. During the break, he immediately squeezed the sap from the two kinds of bark he had collected and distributed it to his teammates.
The other is the wild dioscensis, although this small tuber is inconspicuous, but it can extract "cortisone (hormone medicine, which can treat allergic and inflammatory diseases)" and "contraceptive pills", which the team does not need at the moment, Zhou Daoan just collected it as a backup.
As he was squeezing the sap from the bark, the answer silently came up to him, looked at it carefully, and then whispered:
"You should be able to tell from the plants in your hand that the rainforest we are in is not the area where your people are located, right?"
Zhou Daoan reacted a little to this, and then he understood what the other party meant-he has obvious yellow characteristics, and according to the earth, he must be Asian. There are also tropical rainforests in Asia, but none of the plants he collected are special to Asian rainforests.
Yes, Zhou Daoan actually judged that the place where he was located should be similar to the tropical rainforest in Central America on the earth. But since he wasn't sure what world the members of his team were from, the term Central America might not be understood.
He could only nod his head, indicating that he knew what the answer meant.
The answer seems to be only to ask Zhou Daoan for verification, seeing Zhou Daoan nodding, he bowed slightly, and then walked directly to the team, and said to a few people who were still resting:
"You rest here, I'll take a look around......"
As soon as these words came out, Kang Bao's brows immediately furrowed - he had just said before that in the unknown rainforest, it was best for everyone to act in a group. But how long has it been since this maverick-looking cool guy wanted to break the agreement?
"Why?" Everyone is a ferryman, and they know that each other is not a simple person, so Kang Bao did not get angry, but asked the reason.
"I'm more mobile in the jungle than you, and it's expensive and slow to move forward in this way. I'll explore the way, and then you'll follow the mark I've set aside for a while, and it will be a lot easier. ”
This is the first time that the answer has been said in a long way, and the reason has been explained clearly. Kang Bao groaned slightly, and also agreed with what the answer said, so after "democratically" asking everyone's opinions, he agreed.
So the answer quickly disappeared into the jungle.
After about half an hour, the ferrymen were finished. In particular, the megalodon, who was responsible for opening the way, said that his physical strength had recovered - it seems that he also has the skill to quickly recover his physical strength, which saves Zhou Daoan the trouble of using Dreadnought.
The team was on the road again, and this time, they were moving in the direction in which the answer had disappeared. After walking for less than 10 minutes, I found the first mark left by the answer - keep going. It's not a nonsense, it's a way to tell the rest of the squad that there is no danger ahead of the road.
Sure enough, keep going, and the road is getting better and better! The vines and broad-leaved leaves are less dense, and the dwarf shrubs, which were the most obstructive to the trees' progress, have become thinner.
Just when the road was good, the second sign of the answer appeared - a detour.
Rounded? Since there are fewer weeds and trees, everyone's vision is also better, and looking in the direction of their feet, they can clearly feel that the road ahead is better! At this time, tell everyone to take a detour?
In line with the most basic trust between teammates, the five people did not talk nonsense and decided to change direction and march along the right side. After walking a short time, the megalodon found that the bushes were dense again, and the number of times he swung his axe increased dramatically, and the further down he went, it seemed that he was about to plunge into the arms of the bushes.
Strange thoughts inevitably arose in the hearts of the people, and they began to question the guidance of the answers.
