Chapter 82: Distress in the Water
"We're going to record some wild sounds of the rainforest."
The producer, with the sound engineer and recording equipment, said a word to Tyri, who was chatting happily with Horton, and hurried off the boat. The two passed by Paul, who had fallen silent after the conflict with Steven in the morning, and did not notice the complicated expression on his face, and after thinking about it for an afternoon, he finally made up his mind.
The two walked out of the range of the light source with their flashlights, and made sure that the people on the boat could not see here, so they hugged each other impatiently. The air warmed up with the mood of the two, and the two of them were constantly panting. The twisted trees and eerie silence of the forest could not calm the heat.
"It's incredible."
"What?" The sound engineer stared intently at the pretty face in front of him, not hearing what the other person was saying.
"Oh my God, it's so exciting here!"
"There's something more exciting!"
The recording equipment was placed on the ground, and less and less equipment was carried. When she was about to put the equipment all the way, the producer girl stepped back slightly, calmed down and shouted to stop her rapid breathing.
"Wait a minute, did you find out? So quiet. ”
The sound engineer also noticed that something was wrong at this time, and reached out to protect the producer girl behind him, and his eyes swept around with a sharp look. A black shadow came from a distance, and the speed was extremely fast, and only the blades of grass could be seen shaking, and the route was just towards the two of them.
"Run."
The sound engineer gave her a gentle push on the back, giving her a boost, and then he ran quickly. But there was a producer girl in front of him, and he couldn't run fast, so he could only watch the black shadow approach.
When the two were about to rush to the boat, the producer girl was so frightened that she suddenly stopped. The sound engineer in the back didn't have time to brake, and the two collided together.
"Bang!"
Paul put down the muzzle of the gun, and the two smiled, and walked over to check the shadow. The Black Shadow is a wild boar that has never reached adulthood, and has the wounds of a carnivorous beast.
"Get back to the ship, there's a good pair of hunters around here."
The sound of gunfire woke everyone on board, and Steve put down what he was doing, grabbed a revolver from his backpack, checked the bullet and opened the safe, and walked nervously out of the cabin. The first thought that popped into his mind was that Paul had done something bad.
"What's going on?" The rest of the people also rushed over, without anything in their hands, purely to watch the excitement.
"I don't know."
Steven raised his revolver and pointed it at the place where the figure in the woods was shaking. "Mattei, shine the lamp over there."
Hearing this, Mattei hurried upstairs and turned on the ship's main headlights. The lights came on and it made it look like daytime.
Paul's eyes narrowed with the stimulation of the light, and he held something in his hand that did not cover his eyes. "It's a big deal that they're alive."
"What's going on?" Steven sideways to give way.
"Are you all right?"
Tyri watched the two nervously with concern on her face. If any of them had an accident, the documentary would have been a complete failure. But looking at the excited appearance of the sound engineer, it is obvious that the two of them are fine.
"Wow, you should really take a look. Paul shot him dead. ”
Paul pulled the boar's carcass and lowered it to the deck, the whole hide intact, and the bullet passed through the boar's right eye perfectly, shattering the boar's brain.
"Wild boar. The use of fangs is bound to be hateful. The ship was farther from the shore, and it was evident that a wild beast was hunting it, and it would attack people in a panic. ”
"Are you all right?"
Tyri's attitude this time was obviously not as good as before, her words seemed to be caring, and her face was indeed cold and angry.
"It's fine." The producer smiled awkwardly and whispered with her head down. "Thank you."
Anyone could guess what the two of them were doing when they got off the boat. It's okay to take responsibility for accidents, they are a team, and everyone is responsible for the smooth shooting of the documentary.
"No one is allowed to go out at night, stay on the ship to ensure safety, and no one is exempt." Steven enacts the new rules as the team leader.
"It's a good idea. Mattei did him a favor and disposed of him, enough to eat for a week. ”
Paul took the lead as an outsider to make a statement, and then asked Mattei to drag away the wild boar, and pulled the two who made mistakes to make the relationship less dignified.
"Eat?"
Horton was still young and had never thought of eating wild animals. He thinks it will have a lot of germs and it will be very unhygienic.
The carcass of the wild boar was cut up and made into bacon, and the people spent the night in peace. The beasts roaming the shore did not attack the ships, and the forest remained as quiet as ever. In the seemingly quiet and peaceful rainforest, killing is happening all the time.
The tributaries are not as wide as they used to be, there are more trees growing in the river, and a flock of crows combing their feathers is scattered on the branches.
"Shredded coconut!"
Wesqu took a round of golf and hit the hole reserved under the rope net, clenching his fists fiercely and excitedly. The sound at his feet played a magnificent harmonic singing, and the sound greatly shook the four fields.
"It's my turn, it's not me."
Steven took care of his personal hygiene, and the rest of the group set up a table to play cards. Paul watched the game from behind a few people, looking back at the stern from time to time.
The rope fell into the water and suddenly straightened, and the boat shook violently a few times and stopped in place.
"Mattei! Will you sail a boat? I won't be strong. Wess steadied himself and mocked in a strange way.
"Mattei, Mattei, the rope is wrapped around the thruster."
Horton stood up and glanced at the ship, then called out loudly. Mattei sideways through a few people and tried the tight rope at the back of the boat.
"I'm going to cut the rope."
"I'm going well, it's dangerous in the water......" Paul seemed to have a good heart, but his tone always had the feeling of agitating Steven.
"I'm fine, I'm just scared of toothpick fish."
Steven put down his razor and removed the oxygen cylinder from the recess on the side of the deck.
"What?" The toothpick fish he said clearly touched on Tyri's blind spot.
"Threadfish, is a very small catfish. It likes the smell of urine and burrows into the urethra. When you drill deep enough, you spread the fins with spikes on both sides and stay on it. ”
"It hurts." Tyri clamped her legs, seemingly having been drilled into by a toothpick fish.
"That's going to have to be an operation." Paul added that he was visibly happy. I don't know if it's an interesting topic or something else.
"Oh my gosh, I want to go home." Horton's eyes were full of fear of the river, and he moved away from the boat.
Steven put on his diving gear, jumped into the water with a waterproof flashlight, found the thruster and began to cut through the rope with a knife. There was a sound in the water, and Steven nervously stopped his movements, making sure that nothing strange was going to continue cutting.
The water is not very clear, and the visible distance is less than two meters. The underwater world has a different kind of scenery, with abundant aquatic plants and few fish.
On the boat, Paul stood with his arms crossed, staring triumphantly at where Steven had gone down. Waiting for a good show to be staged.
Steven cut the rope and pushed with one hand to try to turn the thruster. The thruster restarted, but he covered his mouth desperately, snorting in pain in the water, and constantly struggling and thrashing. A hand reached out of the water, trying to make the people in the boat see, fluttering a few times and floating there.
The people on the boat were flustered, but Paul was still leisurely and still had the heart to walk back and forth. However, the situation was urgent, and no one noticed his strangeness.
"Oh my God!"
"Steven!! Something happened to him, I'll go! ”
Horton grabbed the disproportionate Terri from behind and shoved her into the producer's arms. "Don't worry, I'll go."
He threw down his hat and jumped, followed by Mattei jumping down behind him.
"Horton! Come on! Swim faster. Does Steven still breathe? Hurry up, is he okay? Hurry up. ”
The two swim back underwater with Steven on their backs. Tyri on the boat was babbling and yelling. Wesquer and Paul stepped forward and pulled Steven onto the boat.
"Be careful. What's going on? ”
"He's not breathing, he's not breathing!" Tyri couldn't hold back any longer, squatting on the ground with her head in her hands and crying.
"Hold his head high, there's something in his mouth." Mattei held Steven's head, his face pale and hideous, his mouth bulging and closed. Pinch his chin and open his mouth. Inside is a black winged insect with a tail needle stuck at the base of the tongue, blocking the airways.
"Oh my God."
"What is this?"
Mattey picked up the insect and observed. "Wasps, there are deadly toxins that are poisonous, and they swell the places they sting."
Steven wears an oxygen mask, and how flying insects get into the water and appear in his mouth. Everyone was worried about his life, and they didn't think about the context of this matter for the time being.
"I'm not breathing, what should I do?"
"How so?"
Paul found the pen in the notebook on the table, bit off the refill and sat down next to Steven's head. "Alcohol."
"I have whiskey." Mattei took out a tin wine bottle and poured some anti-virus on the barrel of the pen.
"Quick."
Mattei helped undress, and Paul aimed a narrow-tipped skinning knife at Steven's throat.
Their actions caught Tyri's attention, and she looked up with tears on her face and said, "What are you going to do?" You ......"
The sharp knife was inserted, and blood flowed out. The two ladies couldn't bear to turn their heads sideways, but they couldn't help but continue to look. Seeing that the barrel of the pen was directly inserted into the wound, he turned his head again.
Steven's lungs began to heav, and Mattei exhaled slowly. After this wave of emergency treatment, he had a lot of changes in his opinion of Paul. "Well, he can't die."
Steven was still unconscious, naked and covered with a thin blanket, and was cared for by one of the only two women, the producer.
The tears on Tyri's face vanished, as if the crying had never happened. With the planner in hand, he hurried to find Mattei.
"He's not bad, let's go at once!"
Horton quickly found a few people, and before he could get closer, he said loudly: "The radio is out of order, our communication with the outside world has been interrupted!" ”
"It's okay, Mattei will fix it." Tyri said unconcernedly.
Mattei scanned his surroundings and didn't know when a thick white fog had risen from the water, but the visibility was not yet clear underwater. "No, we can't go, it's foggy now."
