Chapter 82: Launching into Distress(1/2)
"We're going to record some wild sounds of the rainforest."
The production girl, the sound effects engineer, and the recording equipment spoke to Terry, who was chatting happily with Holden, and hurriedly got off the boat. The two passed by Paul, who had fallen silent after having a conflict with Steven in the morning.
Noticing the complicated expression on his face, he finally made up his mind after thinking for an afternoon.
The two walked out of the range of the light source with flashlights to make sure that the people on the boat couldn't see here, and then they hugged each other impatiently. The air heated up with the two people's moods, and the heat made the two of them pant continuously.
.The twisted trees and eerie and silent environment in the forest cannot calm the heat.
"It's incredible."
"What?" The sound effects engineer stared intently at the pretty face in front of him, not hearing what the other person said clearly.
"Oh my God, it's so exciting here!"
"There are more exciting things!"
The recording equipment was placed on the ground, and the equipment carried was getting less and less. When it was about to turn all the equipment on, the production girl stepped away slightly, calmed her rapid breathing and shouted to stop.
"Wait a minute, did you notice? It's so quiet."
The sound effects engineer also noticed something was wrong at this time, stretched out his hand to protect the producer girl behind him, and scanned the surroundings with alert eyes. A black shadow came from a distance, and the speed was so fast that only the blades of grass could be seen shaking, and the path was just right.
Coming towards the two of them.
"Run quickly."
The sound effects engineer gently pushed the other person's back to give her a boost, and then he started running quickly. But there was a producer girl blocking the way in front of him, so he couldn't run fast and could only watch the black shadow approaching.
.
When the two were about to rush onto the boat, the producer girl was frightened by something and suddenly stopped. The sound effects engineer behind had no time to brake and the two collided.
"boom!"
Paul put down the muzzle of the gun, which was still full of smoke. The two of them smiled and walked over to check the black shadow. The black shadow was a wild boar that had not yet reached adulthood and had wounds on its body from the bites of carnivorous beasts.
"Go back to the ship quickly, there is an excellent hunter nearby."
The sound of gunshots woke up everyone on the boat. Steve put down what he was doing, took a revolver from his backpack, checked the bullets and opened the safety, and walked out of the cabin nervously. The first thought that came to his mind was,
It was Paul who did something bad.
"What's going on?" The rest of the people also came over, without bringing anything with them, just to watch the fun.
"have no idea."
Steven raised his revolver and pointed at the place where the figure was shaking in the forest. "Matthew, shine the light on that place."
After hearing this, Ma Tai quickly went upstairs and turned on the main headlight of the ship. The light turned on and illuminated the place like daylight.
Paul's eyes were squinted by the light, and he was holding something in his hand without covering his eyes. "They are really lucky to be alive."
"What's going on?" Steven turned sideways to make way.
"Are you guys OK?"
Terri watched the two of them nervously with concern on her face. If anything happened to any of them, the documentary shooting operation would be considered a complete failure. But judging from the excitement of the sound effects engineer, it was obvious that the two of them were fine.
.
"Wow, you should really see this. Paul shot him dead with one shot."
Paul pulled the wild boar's carcass and put it on the deck. The entire hide was intact. The bullet perfectly penetrated the wild boar's right eye and shattered the wild boar's brain.
"The wild boar must have hatred when using its tusks. The boat is farther from the shore. This is obviously a wild animal hunting it. It will attack people only if it panics and chooses its own route."
"Are you guys OK?"
Terry's attitude this time was obviously not as good as before. Her words seemed caring, but her face was indeed cold and angry.
"It's okay." The producer girl smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you."
Anyone can guess what the two people did when they got off the boat. Fortunately, if something goes wrong, they must take responsibility. They are a team, and everyone is responsible for the smooth shooting of the documentary.
"No one is allowed to go out at night from now on. Stay on the boat to ensure safety. No one will be exempted." Steven, as the team leader, issued new rules.
"This is a good idea. Do Mattai a favor and take care of him. There will be enough food for a week."
As an outsider, Paul took the lead to express his position, and then asked Mattai to drag away the wild boar, and roped in the two people who made the mistake to make the relationship less solemn.
"eat?"
Holden had little experience and had never thought of eating wild animals. He thought it would be full of germs and very unhygienic.
The wild boar carcass was cut into pieces and made into bacon, and everyone spent the night peacefully. The wild beasts wandering on the shore did not attack the ship, and the forest was still so quiet. In the seemingly quiet and peaceful rainforest, killings were happening every moment.
.
The tributary river section is not as wide as before. There are more trees growing in the river, and a group of crows are sparsely parked on the branches, preening their feathers.
“Shredded coconut!”
Westridge hit a golf shot into the hole reserved under the rope net, clenching his fists fiercely and excited. The sound system under his feet played a magnificent harmonious singing, and the sound shocked the whole world.
"It's my turn, it's not my turn."
Steven took care of his personal hygiene while the others set up the table to play cards. Paul watched the card game behind a few people and looked back at the stern of the ship from time to time.
The rope fell into the water and suddenly stretched straight, and the ship shook violently and stopped in place.
"Mattai! Can you sail a boat? Don't show off if you don't." Wei Siqu stabilized his figure and mocked in a sinister manner.
"Ma Tai, Ma Tai, the rope is entangled in the propeller."
Holden stood up and took a look at the back of the boat, then shouted loudly. Mattai passed through several people sideways, got to the back of the boat and tried the tight rope.
"I'll cut the rope."
"I'm going to go in, it's dangerous in the water..." Paul seemed to have good intentions, but his tone always seemed to irritate Steven.
"It's okay with me, I'm just afraid of toothpick fish."
Steven put down the razor and took out the oxygen bottle from the groove on the side of the deck.
"What?" The toothpick fish he mentioned clearly touched on Terry's knowledge blind spot.
"The thread fish is a very small catfish. It likes the smell of urine and will get into the urethra. When it gets deep enough, it will spread its fins with spikes on both sides and stay there."
"It hurts." Terry clamped her legs together, as if the toothpick fish had penetrated her.
"Then surgery is necessary." Paul added, obviously very happy. I don't know if it was because the topic was interesting or something else.
"Oh my God, I want to go home." Holden's eyes were filled with fear of the river water, and he even stayed away from the boat.
Steven put on his diving equipment and jumped into the water with a waterproof flashlight. After finding the propeller, he started cutting the rope with a knife. There was a sound in the water, which made Steven nervous and stopped to make sure there was nothing strange.
Continue cutting.
The river water is not very clear and can be seen from a distance of less than two meters. The underwater world has a different scenery, with lush aquatic plants and few fish.
On the boat, Paul stood with his arms folded, staring proudly at the position where Steven had descended, waiting for a good show to unfold.
Steven cut the rope, pushed with one hand and tried to turn the propeller. The propeller successfully restarted, but he covered his mouth desperately, grunting in pain in the water, and kept struggling and fluttering. One hand reached out of the water, trying to turn the boat
The people who saw it fluttered a few times and floated there without moving.
The people on the boat were in a panic, but Paul was still leisurely and thoughtful, taking a walk back and forth. However, the situation was so urgent that no one noticed anything strange about him.
"Oh my God!"
"Steven!! If something happens to him, I'll go!"
Holden hugged Terry from behind and pushed her into the arms of the producer girl. "Don't worry, I'll go."
He threw down his hat and jumped down, followed closely by Mattei.
"Holden! Hurry! Swim faster. Is Steven still breathing? Hurry up. Is he okay? Hurry up."
The two of them carried Steven back underwater and swam back. On the boat, Terri was making noises and yelling. Weasley and Paul stepped forward and pulled Steven onto the boat.
"Be careful. What's going on?"
"He's not breathing, he's not breathing!" Terri couldn't hold back any longer, squatting on the ground with her head in her hands and crying.
"Put his head up, there is something in his mouth." Mattai held Steven's head. His face was pale and ferocious, and his mouth was bulging and closed tightly. He pinched his chin and opened his mouth. There was something black inside.
Winged insects have tail needles that pierce the base of the tongue, causing the tongue to block the respiratory tract.
"Oh my God."
"What's this?"
Mattai picked up the insect and observed it. "The wasp has deadly toxins. It will swell the place where it stings."
Steven was wearing an oxygen mask, but how did the flying insects enter the water and appear in his mouth? Everyone was worried about his life and did not think about the context of the matter for the time being.
"I'm not breathing, what should I do?"
"how so?"
Paul found an oil pen in the notebook on the table, bit off the refill and squatted next to Steven's head. "Alcohol."
"I have whiskey." Mattai took out a metal wine bottle and poured some anti-virus on the pen barrel.
