Chapter 004
When everyone started to rest and cook, the team leader also began to summarize what had happened in the past few days.
Although these team members have received professional training and have some practical experience, they are not calm along the way. First, the boat was broken and unable to be repaired, and then the food was accidentally lost. In the end, another member was infected with the trench foot, which was inconvenient to walk, which slowed down the speed of the entire team.
"I hope everything will be safe in the next few days. But why do you always feel like something is peeping after coming to this place? I haven't encountered this situation before." The leader was alert, but he was helpless now it was almost dark and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
"I hope my intuition is wrong."
When the team leader was thinking, Aoki was glad that he had not become a member of the cut.
Because Qingmu is not big and the leaves are not suitable for rain or cushioning leaves, they are not attracted by those who cut down trees, thus avoiding the disaster.
But the other trees were not so lucky. At this time, these humans built a total of 5 bed frames around the bonfire, and naturally they used a lot of wood.
Aoki counted a little and there were about 90 trees cut down, while the unknown plants with large leaves were cut down, all of which were used to lay beds and build simple sheds. In this jungle, there was basically a pouring rain every two days, so for humans, simple sheds used to block the rain are very necessary.
It soon became dark and it started to rain heavily in the jungle. Although the jungle was helping to store water, it could not withstand the heavy rain. The water level of the stream quickly rose to a height of 10cm below Aoki's feet. The stream quickly turned into a river, with water splashes rolling, wave after wave. At a glance, you can tell that it was urgent and deep, extremely dangerous.
Because the terrain of human camping is relatively high, the rolling water did not affect them.
However, the downpour of the rain at this time caused them great trouble. The fire that had been born was naturally extinguished quickly under the heavy rain, and everyone could only eat the few dry foods. Because of this heavy rain, not only did the hot and delicious broth disappear, but there was no fire to keep warm.
Although there is no wind in the forest, there will be no slanting rain, it cannot hold back the simplicity of the camping shack. Drops of raindrops as big as marbles fell from the canopy of tall trees like socks, and fell into the shack covered with large leaves. Some of the rainwater was directed to the shack along the lines of the big leaves, but a lot of rainwater flowed directly into the shack because it was not guided.
The clothes were wet, the items were wet, and everything without waterproof bags was wet. The 5 Exploration team members were hungry, frozen, and unable to fall asleep in cold, wet, dark and dangerous environments. They felt that this was the end of the world.
Although they wanted five people to get together for warmth, the shed was really too small to accommodate one person. The harsh environment made them unable to fall asleep. Experience, etc., under the power of nature, is just a joke.
In the minds of humans, the environment that is extremely harsh is not bad at all in Aoki's opinion. In addition, Aoki feels very happy because of their actions. The enemy's pain is his own happiness. This sentence explains Aoki's psychological state at this time.
"If the python came too, it would be even more wonderful. In the dark night when you couldn't see your fingers, a python suddenly appeared next to the human, holding its head high, spitting out a letter, opening its mouth wide, swallowing the person in one bite. Other humans were awakened, and then panicked and fleeing in a hurry. In the days that followed, not only would they be hunted by the python, but they would also have to endure hunger, sleepiness, disease, and fear. Even if you are lucky enough to escape from the jungle, you will leave lifelong psychological harm." Thinking of this, Aoki couldn't help but become excited.
The night passed and the sky became brighter quickly, but this night, the python appeared as Aoki expected.
But despite this, the humans suffered a lot at this time.
He was soaked overnight that he could not fall asleep, and he had to endure hunger and cold. Two of them had been infected with a severe cold, and the other person infected with the trench foot had been soaked overnight after rain. At this time, the skin of his feet had been severely rotten. Not to mention the pillar crutches, he didn't even dare to touch his feet. As long as he used a little force,
The rotten skin will deform and the bones will be exposed.
"Charlie, I have no choice. The medicine I prepared was lost in the water when the ship capsized last time, so it cannot be treated for the time being. But don't be discouraged, we will take you back. As long as you go back, you can cure it." The leader comforted him. But the leader himself knew in his heart that after a heavy rain last night, his feet had been completely destroyed. Even if he returned to treatment, it would probably be the end of amputation. But at this difficult moment, he had to be determined to be strong no matter what.
Except for two people who suffered from severe colds and one had a severe trench foot, only the leader and another person who persisted because of his strong body and did not get sick.
The situation at this time gave the team leader a headache. It seems that if he doesn't fix it today, he will not be able to leave here. But the feeling of something peeking has always existed in his mind and cannot be shaken off.
Just as these five humans were fighting against the harsh environment, Aoki finally saw what he wanted to see.
A >>>>>>>>> ripples appeared in the stream that had not yet receded, which was not very conspicuous, but they were also a little different from the ripples of the water. If Aoki hadn't been staring at the water surface, he would have probably ignored this point.
"The python has finally appeared, let me see how it hunts!" Aoki was excited.
At this time, the five humans were still confused that the danger was approaching.
After a heavy rain in the jungle, it was difficult to find dry wood and grass. At this time, only two people with mobility were left. Because of his rich experience, the leader decided to search for dry firewood around him and find some herbs that could be cured. The other person was patrolling the camping place.
After the sun came out, ants, leeches, bees, insects, spiders and other animals kept jumping out of their nests under the vision of Aoki, crawling out of their nests, and looking for food for the new day.
There are also many birds constantly showing their singing voices in the jungle, allowing humans who have experienced extreme darkness to smile with happiness and hope.
Several leeches smelled the fragrance of blood, and under the gaze of Aoki, they quickly climbed under one of the humans. Their target was a cold lying on the simple bed. After going through hardships, they finally climbed along the tree trunk and climbed into the bed half a meter above the ground, and then followed the man's feet into the legs.
Aoki got goosebumps and felt shivered inside.
By the way, these leeches can secrete an anesthetic when sucking blood, so that the bitten person has no feelings. At this time, the patient is in this state, not feeling that he is being patronized by the leeches, and still lying on the bed to rest weakly.
The other people were patronized by other leeches one by one. The person who was not sick carefully rolled his trousers into his socks according to the leader's guidance, so the leeches failed.
After about half an hour, the team leader finally collected some dry firewood and some other things. After the fire broke out, everyone forced themselves to come to the fire and enjoyed the precious warmth.
Then the leader walked to Aoki with a knife again.
"What's going on? What's he going to do?" Aoki was puzzled.
Then, Aoki saw an enlarged sole and stepped down toward him.
"Huh! Huh! Huh!"
Aoki was so nervous that he was afraid that he would step on it and then break himself. Fortunately, this terrifying thing did not happen. His shoes were only 10 cm away, leaving a deep mud pit.
Then Aoki saw the leader waving his machete and chopping hard to cut off the neighbor's fir tree from it, then quickly cut off other branches and leaves, leaving the middle branches and an ant nest.
Then walk back and put the ant nest on the fire.
Aoki was furious and hated these five humans to the extreme.
