Chapter 101: Finding the Tribe
The leeches were roasted under the flames, and the sound of roasting meat made Johnson's eyes quick, and at the moment when the leeches contracted, he pulled it off. Throwing it on the ground and stepping on it, it was like the touch of rubber, and a large bag of blood splattered out.
Xiao Hei covered the wound with his hand, there was the anesthetic saliva of the leech, and he didn't feel pain. Just when he thought it was okay, Johnson's serious voice sounded behind him.
"Are you okay?"
"Okay, what's wrong?"
"Put your hands up."
"What? Why are you touching under my clothes? What are you doing? What's going on? ”
When they saw Xiao Hei's back, they all covered their mouths and exclaimed, and some of them couldn't bear to look at it when they turned their heads sideways. Densely covered with a layer, as if wearing a tight black rubber coat.
"Does anyone have torches?" Johnson still had the heart to joke and beckoned Song Jin to help hold down Xiao Hei.
In the frightened screams of Xiao Hei, everyone stopped in place and rested separately. Bill took off his sneakers, his feet swollen like pig's trotters. Rubbing to soothe the fatigue of his feet, he knew that he was going to continue on the road when Xiao Hei put on his clothes, and was ready to put on his shoes and continue to walk.
"No!"
Song Jin's scolding made Bill's hand stop in mid-air, looking at the other party suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.
"Be careful."
Song Jin took the shoe and hammered it upside down, and a coin-sized patterned spider fell out.
"What is this?"
"If this thing bites you, you're paralyzed. Paralysed like a stone for two days. ”
After Song Jin explained, he was about to beat him to death when he lifted his shoes. One hand was faster than he was, and he filled it in a plastic bottle.
"What's this guy's name?"
"Platonic Stone Spider."
"I helped venture capital find the next project, and this guy is a good thing to work on anesthetics."
Bill took the jar from Jack and took a closer look at the guy who had nearly killed him. "Don't worry about venture capital, this can attract better funders."
"Alright, the treasure hunt is over, and we need to get on the boat. Put on your shoes and we're going. ”
The rest of the journey is thrilling, except for Johnson and Song Jin, the rest are scientific research personnel who do offices, and there are two women among them.
The body is weak and physically exhausted, and it is almost time to reach the destination in the evening. Everyone acted with perseverance, their legs aching and numbing, and they moved mechanically.
"Hold on, you can already hear the sound of running water!"
"Knock~"
While Johnson was cheering everyone on, the sound of heavy objects falling into the water came from the river not far away. Although he didn't know what was happening, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and left everyone behind and ran out of the dense forest quickly.
The crowd followed as best they could, and rushed to the riverbank. In the distance, there was a violent explosion, and the fire rushed into the sky, and the speedboat fragments were scattered. Fortunately, everyone was still far from the explosion point, otherwise the aftermath of the explosion alone would be enough for a few people to drink a pot.
"Oh my God, what's wrong!"
"Oh my God."
"Wouldn't it? No way!! ”
Everyone looked different, but no matter how you looked at it, you could see the desperation in it. Lisa's originally stable mood suddenly collapsed, and she was so soft that she cried bitterly on the ground.
"Vince! Vince! ”
Johnson shouted at his neck, but no one came out of the raging water.
He was also a little desperate for a while, the way to leave was shattered, and the satellite phone ran out of battery. The crowd is completely disconnected from the outside world, and they don't know how to die tragically in this dangerous rainforest.
"Here's why, he got drunk and fell off the boat!"
Jack picked up the half-broken brandy bottle he found on the shore and threw it to the ground in anger. His words and actions attract everyone's attention, igniting anger on Johnson.
Blackie's face was even more distorted, angry and frightened, he yelled and threw himself at Johnson.
"This is your friend! What should we do? Damn it!! ”
Bill hugged Blackie behind him and looked at Johnson, obviously with an inquiring meaning.
"Search for wreckage, each ship has a satellite phone. Find out any useful supplies and we will live! ”
Medical kits, flashlights, flare guns, and more were found. Black, a tech professional, fiddles with the radio station in the wreckage, hoping to use it to reach others.
"Hello? Hello? Please, hurry up! ”
"Is there a response?"
"Not yet."
"Keep trying!"
"What do you think I'm doing?" Jack, who was swaying around with little black spray, neither of them noticing that the box containing the satellite phone was near their feet.
Useful supplies are gathered together, and anything useful, even if it may not be needed, is found. Everyone gathered together and thought about what to do next.
"Don't have a phone?"
"No, and there was no response from the radio."
Blackie gave Johnson a middle finger and continued to stick to the radio.
"What now?"
"Get some food, everyone hasn't eaten in a day."
Johnson and Song Jin are not only good hunters when it comes to hunting, but they are also excellent hunters in the crew, and they found fruits that can eat decent taste, and they also caught bad piranhas.
"Are you sure these piranhas can be eaten?"
Lisa was holding a grilled piranha with no spices, and it smelled strongly fishy. Bai Sensen's fine and sharp teeth showed how fierce it was in front of him.
Johnson was silent and didn't say a word, he took a bite directly on the grilled fish in his hand, and swallowed it without chewing much. He expressed his meaning with his actions, and his mind kept thinking about how to get out of the rainforest.
"I don't want to eat fish, there is still fruit here."
Bill handed over a roasted banana, the green banana roasted by the flame, which had a different flavor. It's not too bad to eat, and the sugar it contains can quickly relieve hunger.
He hastily finished his dinner and sat down by the fire, fiddling with the small lockbox he had found. It says Vince's private property, and the key is in the keyhole, but unfortunately the secret is not known. The four-digit password takes a long time to try one by one.
It was darker than night, and the people were so tired that they didn't want to get up when they sat down. A few people cheered up and talked about possible life. This matter is not conclusive, and the water has no intention of sleeping.
"If the radio station fails, it is estimated that it can last for an hour, and the power will run out!" Xiao Hei was sour at the grilled fish and frowned. In order to cover up the fishy smell of piranhas, Song Jin found very sour wild fruits as condiments.
"Can you use the electricity left over from the radio to charge the satellite phone?"
Regarding Susan's method, Xiao Hei thought seriously for a moment and shook his head. "No, there is a lack of tools."
"How about walking out on foot?" Susan came up with another idea, but Song Kim vetoed it.
"That's too dangerous, stop and go all the way, and it will take more than half a month to be optimistic."
"It would be nice to find indigenous tribes, who have canoes. Borrow a few boats enough for us to leave by water. It doesn't take more than three days. ”
Johnson's whispering to himself was heard word for word by Bill on the side. He put the box in his hand beside him, and recalled in his mind.
"Maybe I know they're there, take out the map."
Johnson's eyes lit up, and he quickly unfolded the map. He didn't make a loud urge, and he could tell that Bill was trying to recall.
"Here."
Bill's hand flickered back and forth, hesitating, and finally firmly settled on a spot on the map, far from where it was.
"It's not going to work, it's too far!"
"I know."
Bill's finger started from this point and took a large circle centered around the red cross at the location of the Blood Orchid.
"There are many indigenous tribes on this circle. I've heard that Horton is the man who sold us samples of blood orchids, and that he had met the help of the natives in the rainforest. Natives will erect totem poles within the territory of the tribe, and the closer they are to the tribe, the denser the totem poles become. ”
Bill added, "As long as we go around here, we can always find indigenous tribes. They have good intentions towards outsiders and will certainly be willing to help us. ”
Everyone looked excited, and a rare smile appeared on their faces. Finding your way through despair doesn't get much more relaxing. Lisa, Xiao Hei and a few others suddenly fell asleep laughing and laughing.
Johnson stared at the map, estimating the closest route to the circle. At the speed of the crowd, it is half a day's journey to walk in a straight line.
"Okay, sooner rather than later. We'll leave tomorrow morning! ”
Leaving early, a few people naturally agreed, leaving Johnson and Song Jin, who had the best spirit, to take turns keeping vigil. The rest of the people slept peacefully, and the arch fire burned all night, so that everyone could rest in the open air less difficult.
Johnson stared at the flames, not knowing what he was thinking. The decision to find the indigenous tribe tomorrow can be described as hasty, the vague information of more than ten years ago, and the even more vague scope of the indigenous existence.
What should have been carefully considered and prepared was hastily decided in an atmosphere of despair. Perhaps what people need more than a possible way to leave is something to do.
Despair and depression can drive people crazy, and ethereal hope can keep people from breaking down for the time being. In fact, they subconsciously know everything, but they just force themselves not to think about it.
The enticing scent lingered on the tip of their noses, and several people struggled to open their tired eyes, feeling that every movement on their bodies was different. Johnson and Song Jin made breakfast in advance, so that everyone could get up to eat and leave immediately.
Even if they didn't want to, a few people still got up, cold and hungry, and their bodies were frozen and stiff. Susan picked up the grilled fish and began to eat, knowing that she would not have time to eat because she was in a hurry today.
Her stamina is a weakness, and she needs to eat more food in order to provide for the burden that she can not be a drag on the team. Lisa thought the same thing, and the two women present ate it in a big gulp, not looking like a lady at all.
Bill tried a few times before getting up, and almost didn't fall into the fire. His feet were even more swollen, and he walked as if he had a sponge on the soles of his feet, and his sneakers couldn't fit his big feet.
Bring water that has been boiled to cool and some fruits that are easy to eat. The group set out on a journey to find the indigenous tribes, this time much better prepared than yesterday. But his physical condition was much worse, and he was walking much slower than expected.
