Chapter 176: The Tip of the Iceberg
His own teammates had once been bitten by those little black bugs because they were resting on the way.
At that time, he was a bit unimpressed, thinking that it was just a general small bug, but as a result, about two to three hours after the bite, the wound turned out to be red and swollen, and accompanied by bouts of pain during spasms, and at that time, there were a total of seven team members in his own group, and two of them were bitten to varying degrees.
The general location of the wounds are in the calf, as a member of the special forces, the wilderness survival techniques are also required courses.
Those two because of those black bug bites team members, directly with the folding Swiss army knife will carry with the red swollen wounds directly cut open, inside the outflow of a lot of black mucus, until the wound outflow belongs to the human body's normal blood after the small first aid kit will be carried with the open.
Inside the anti-inflammatory powder directly sprinkled on the wound, with gauze for simple bandage and treatment. At that time, Li Xianzheng more and more premonition that the danger has been approaching, he warned all team members to avoid walking those places with water, these black bugs are basically in the water or particularly humid places.
Based on previous relevant experience he suggested that everyone keep a small torch handy and use fire to attack those pesky black bugs when they see them, it will definitely be effective!
Hearing this, Liu Wan Yan interrupted Li Xian Zheng to re-ask for relevant information about those little black bugs for another confirmation, because he had once heard from his 'ghost father' that there was a kind of bugs and vermin, black in color and body similar to leeches, more aggressive, dependent on moisture to survive, and afraid of fire.
But wherever it appears will also be accompanied by another kind of demonic creature, the two are interdependent and share prey with each other, but he has not seen it, as for what kind of demonic creature it will be accompanied by he is not clear, but very sure opinion thing is that these two kinds of interdependent survival of demonic creatures all have a common fatal point that is afraid of fire.
"After getting off the train, if we reach that tropical forest, can you still find the specific place of incident from a whole forest? Although you were in the special forces for a long time.
After all, it's also a very difficult thing to correctly identify the sense of direction in an entire forest with no references, because we would easily get lost wherever we are, a little bit of inattention, and it's easy to get separated from each other!"
Liu Wan Diem's concern is very right, Li Xianzheng himself at that time is also worried about this problem, so and teammates together to discuss the decision even if and teammates to get separated but also to leave a few numbers in the passing place, so that teammates can find each other in time. He told Liu Van Diem about this suggestion.
Liu Wan Diem agreed and asked that after this arrival, we should also follow this method, no matter whether there will be separated or not, we should be ready to make a mark on the relevant places we pass through, and uniformly use yellow cloth strips to tie the intersections we pass through to and important places on the trees, so that it is convenient to look for each other.
Li Xianzheng was very sure that if he could reach that tropical forest, he would definitely be able to clearly find the place where the incident happened, there was no way that he would forget that place, he had once clearly confirmed that it was in the direction of three o'clock when he was taken away by his higher-ups, and he definitely wouldn't misremember it.
"As long as I enter that tropical forest, I am 100% able to find the place where the accident happened!!!" Li Xianzheng guaranteed with confidence!
On the train, Liu Wan Yan and the three of them discussed the relevant contingency measures, in order to avoid the three people will be separated in that large tropical forest, agreed that in case the three people are separated at that time in their own way of the fork in the road are tied with a yellow cloth, convenient to find each other in a timely manner.
At the same time through Li Xianzheng's account, about how to deal with those black bugs, they also carried out a unified research, to make a small and easy to carry a small torch, the three people together to think of ways to sublimate and strengthen the basis of firearms.
Made a small torch similar to the size of a flashlight, there is a heat-insulating tempered cover on top, this tempered transparent small lampshade will cover the flame, can be used for illumination, but also can be used when encountering those annoying black bugs unplugged the small lampshade on those bugs fire attack.
Usually two days for the three people do not seem to be so long, perhaps every time in the important thing is about to happen, will let a person have a kind of time standstill feeling, two days on the train than imagined much more difficult, daytime is fine, three people you a word I talk about jokes and laughter, play around, one side of the other side of the play can also be related to the contingency plan for the unification.
But the night is much more difficult, after all, the three of them because of the relationship between the profession, relatively in the night are more excited, nested in the narrow sleeper car inside more make this night seems long.
Survived the first day on the train, the thought of staying another ten hours to reach their destination, Li Xianzheng beyond the usual calm, become anxious and eager up, Liu Wan Diem, the two of them completely understand, after all, after such a long time, once again returned to the place where things happened.
Immediately can figure out the ins and outs of the events of the year, so as to return to him and those who have sacrificed their comrades a clean slate, Li Xianzheng how can still be as usual as the peace and quiet it? He had seen such a scene many times in his dreams.
He dreamed that he was in the place where the accident happened to subdue the demons and ghosts that had brutalized his teammates and killed them, finally clearing up the shame for his dead comrades, now this is not a dream, it is a real reality, he saw that he was about to have his dream come true, and wished that this train could fly up and arrive at its destination earlier.
Liu Wan Diem in order to appease the mood of Li Xianzheng, so he suggested that Cheng Kexing to buy a pair of poker, the three people so that they can relax a little mood, entertainment, after all, there may be a vicious battle behind, not as good as before a good relaxation and entertainment, so as to regulate the mood.
Anyway, it is in the train is also boring, why not find a way to entertain or spend the rest of the ten hours, Seng Kexing listened to very much agree with Liu Wan Diem's opinion.
"This is so far, you have done the most in line with my mind decision, this money drawing worth, I paid, rare you this guy did a thing to let me raise my hand in favor of things, I am fast in the train suffocated."
Cheng Kexing jogged all the way to the store between the two carriages to buy a pair of poker, three people can just get together to play Fight the Landlord. Li Xianzheng, at the suggestion of Liu Wan Yan, decided to play for a while as well.
Sung Kak Sing saw that Li Xian was about to join the intentionally teasing: "Yo, this is not just to play Oh, be careful with the money in your pockets, the landlord's family does not have food, our accounts can not be delinquent yo." Liu Wan Yan listened to laugh and said, Cheng Kexing this kid to learn the movie inside the look is quite like it.
Three people so cheeky in the train played the landlord, as a way to pass the remaining ten hours on the train.
Unexpectedly nothing
Time always passes very quickly in the happiest time, Sung Kak Sing obviously enjoys the posture of the victor, played a dozen games basically all by himself to win, while Liu Wan Diem is the biggest loser, it seems that Sung Kak Sing is very satisfied with the ending, and happily begged Liu Wan Diem to play a little longer.
"You this guy obviously know that my destiny lack of wealth, but also want me to continue to play again, this is not obvious in bullying me as a person who can not play cards? Can we still play well in the future?"
"Liu Wan Diem you do not be unconvinced, can be defeated in the hands of this beautiful man of mine, you are also counted as 'die for a good cause', we must know that in general I do not easily play cards with other people, that is, you and Li Xianzheng is my friend, otherwise I would not have won you to win so polite? "
"You like this or polite? You spare me, my pocket money are into your pocket, a moment you want to treat dinner, my food expenses are hitching in, now is penniless, you still want to bar me to starve to death not?"
"Isn't it just a bag of instant noodles? This is a small matter, guarantee enough, you just let go of the belly can make it, I absolutely pay the bill, but only instant noodles ah! The box lunch on the train is too expensive, not in the scope of consideration!"
Three people just like this laughing and joking through the last hour and a half, after eating instant noodles, just after the train has arrived, three people simply pack up, take all the luggage off.
Liu Wan Yan looked at the environment of this place, as expected, the living area near the boundary markers, much colder than imagined, around even a good restaurant are not, eat two days of instant noodles, really want to change the taste to eat something else, but unfortunately, ah, can only endure.
"Li Xianzheng, you special forces are not on a mission where the environment is very harsh, very remote ah, you look at this place where birds do not shit, my suspicion of how this place will have a tropical forest, but also a large swath of forest, you are doubting my eyes?"
Li Xianzheng didn't answer their questions, he just signaled Liu Wan Yan to follow them, the three of them, after leaving the train station, they took a bus directly at the intersection on the backside, it was a bumpy ride, almost as if they hadn't bumped out the instant noodles they had eaten on the train, how could it be so hard to get to this place?
"If you guys are tired then sleep, it is estimated that you will not arrive until dawn!" Li Xianzheng whispered.
"Aiya, aren't you trying to kill me? With how bumpy it is now, do you think I can sleep? The most crucial thing is that you said you won't arrive until tomorrow morning, you can't be kidding?"
Thanh Nhat Thanh complained and complained bitterly, and Liu Van Diem advised him to stop and waste his energy if he tossed and turned for too long. Liu Van Diem handed him a small white pill and told him that if he ate it, he would not feel so bumpy.
Thanh Nhat Hanh listened to Liu Wan Diem and took it and stuffed it directly into his mouth, as a result, he fell asleep not ten minutes later.
"Liu Wan Diem, what did you give him to eat ah, how did he fall asleep so quickly?"
"Nothing it's just a strengthened version of sleeping pills, this guy can annoy me to death, it's better to let him sleep through alone so that our ears don't suffer!"
Liu Wan Diem turned his head and replied, draping his own jacket over Sung Kak Sing's body in the process.
"It won't hurt your body with such a powerful drug!"
Liu Wan Diem lightly told Li Xianzheng, don't worry, it won't, when he was a child he always saw all kinds of ghosts because of these eyes, at that time he didn't know that it was because he was born with ghostly eyes, he was so scared that he had to sleep with his 'ghost father' in his arms every night, after a long time.
Along with their own growth, 'ghost father' also slowly will be different from their own told him and gave him a bottle of small pills, so that they really can not sleep when eat one, you can sleep a peaceful sleep. It was this little pill that had just been given to Sungkak Sing.
Under the action of the drug, Thanh Nhat Hanh slept soundly, and even dreamed that he was in the casino inside the cigarettes and wine, its happy, Liu Wan Diem, they stood on their side as personal bodyguards, dreaming that he did not mention how much enjoyment.
Unfortunately, the dream is after all a dream, will soon wake up, when he opened his own eyes suspect that he is still dreaming, so he raised his hand to rub his eyes again, to confirm that what he saw in front of him is real.
"Just woke up guy, do you want me to put another kick towards your ass again so that you can wake up." After Liu Wan Yan finished speaking, he was about to raise his foot, when Sung Naksin was quick to dodge behind Li Xianzheng.
Not to blame into the star's surprise, after all, appeared in front of the eyes is a large green, dense forest as if from the painting out of the seemingly, it is difficult and just walked out of the train station to see the scene to react to, the original really have such a large tropical forest.
Especially in this sun just revealed the head of the time, with the sky on the white clouds, this is obviously a painting, so may appear in the previous also think is a bird not shit place it!
Liu Wan Yan pulled Sung Kak Sing, who was still in the midst of lamentation, to his side, handed him the small torch he had made on the train, and instructed him to simply follow Li Xianzheng's back, and in the event of an emergency, to directly use the art of the Royal Path to make a short-distance call.
Li Xianzheng also fully armed, with Liu Wan Yan they went into the large forest in front of them, Liu Wan Yan worried about such a large forest, the inside of the demons and monsters will make boundaries to deceive their eyes, so they will bring their own bagua disk, through the sunlight, the bagua disk in the center of the black and white Qiankun take out.
Let the sunlight directly to the gossip plate inside, and then the gossip plate in the hands of the road towards the front of the past, if you really encountered the knot, gossip plate inside the collection of sunlight will make the hidden knot revealed, so the three people alternately take this gossip plate in front of the road to explore.
But the three people had walked for about ten kilometers and still had not detected any boundary, Liu Wan Yan even wondered if his bagua disk had made a mistake.
"Li Xianzheng, haven't we gotten to the place where the accident happened?"
"There is still a small distance, now we have just entered the first half of this tropical forest, this forest is very large, a few of our comrades once used a heat detector to detect that there is still heat energy appearing a hundred and fifty kilometers away in front of us, and at that time the task was to look for abnormal heat energy.
And to detect clearly whether the abnormal heat energy is the nuclear weapon made by the neighboring country mentioned inside the mission secretly placed near our border marker, so we have only walked more than ten kilometers now, take your time, the place where the accident happened is at three kilometers ahead at the three o'clock position."
Li Xianzheng replied as he walked.
It seemed that Liu Wan Yan still needed to continue using the Bagua disk, after all, there were only three kilometers left, in case he missed those hidden boundaries, at any time he would be in a dangerous situation.
While moving forward, Liu Wan Diem urged Thanh Nghia to remember to keep their weapons in their hands, and at the same time to pay attention to whether there are any mud puddles filled with water under their feet, and to remember not to step on those small mud puddles that do not see the bottom of the mud puddles, which often seem to be very small, but are often too deep to see the bottom of the bottom of the mud puddles inside.
Liu Wan Yan their line of three people soon arrived, when the special forces members of the mission in the event of the incident, Cheng Kexing and Liu Wan Yan together with the Taoist art of "breaking the illusion" will be Li Xianzheng circled the scope of the incident to confirm, but the unexpected thing happened, there is no Meixian's anomalies around the emergence of the situation.
"Could it be that you remembered the wrong place? I have been puzzled about this issue, weapon starvation has not been seen by me since we entered to the forest, and the kind of small black bugs you mentioned before, I have been worrying that it could be that you were in too much of a hurry and brought it to the wrong place"
Cheng Kexing asked politely.
Liu Wan Diem thought that it should not be Li Xianzheng brought the wrong way, the chances of this is very low, after all, it is a special forces veteran warrior, and it is a life and death between the quick death struggle, about the life and death of his comrades and innocence.
It was impossible for Li Xianzheng to remember wrongly, either that or because of some previous behavior that made those demons and devils wary, temporarily hiding for fear of being found!
"This is good, let's not rush to make a decision, since we have already come, we have to be patient, no matter what happens, we have to calm our hearts down, in this situation, we are all more than patient, remember not to be restless."
Liu Wan Diem handed the bagua disk in his hand to Li Xianzheng, at the same time, he suggested that for the time being, we should set up the tent in the same place, and wait and see at night, whether we will find any abnormalities during the night, the priority now is to look for some wood with less humidity, after all, we have to spend the night inside this forest with a lot of humidity at night.
Can not freeze, and to build a larger fire, so that even if the night sleep to find also not afraid of those small insects close to, such a forest most of the demons and ghosts are very scrupulous about open fire.
So three people divided labor, Li Xianzheng is responsible for looking for relatively small humidity wood and branches, Thanh Khac Sinh in the establishment of the tent, and Liu Wan Diem in the three people sleep in the place to do a boundary, to avoid the night after falling asleep there will be close to the ghosts.
The three people each prepared themselves and soon lit a campfire, ready to find out after the night came, could it be that those bizarre things happened after the night came? All three of them stared wide-eyed at the sky that was about to darken.
When the sky just brightened up, Liu Wan Diem and the three of them just arrived at the tropical forest where Li Xianzheng was carrying out his mission. After Liu Wan Diem's prior preparation, the three of them took turns to use the eight trigrams disk to probe the places they passed by on their way, checking if there were any monsters or ghosts to hide in the boundaries.
At the same time after advancing more than ten kilometers, finally arrived at the specific accident site, Liu Wan Diem three of them were very careful to the place where the accident of Li Xianzheng comrades at that time, at the same time using the Taoist art of "breaking the illusion" and once again to carry out probing.
Still did not find any abnormalities, but the strange thing is in Li Xianzheng's memory clearly emphasized many times, some small black insects in this tropical forest.
But after walking for more than ten kilometers, here in addition to see the dense forest, there are only small mud pools of varying depths, this phenomenon is very strange to Liu Wan Yan them.
In this so humid tropical forest inside out of the dense jungle even an animal is not, so the three people to raise vigilance, ready to come in the late night again to find out.
A line of three in order to avoid the night will appear what mistakes, so ready to stay the night in the place of the accident, three people each division of labor, set up a good tent, and then will be around to do a boundary, able to avoid the ghosts close to the night, and at the same time lit a large pile of bonfires.
After all, in this humid place even if there are any unclean things will be afraid of open fire, so the three people gathered around the campfire, quietly waiting for the night to fall.
Nemesis suggested in order to avoid too much boredom while waiting, so it was recommended to find a topic to talk about, one can pass the time, and the other can also lift the spirit, to always keep enough spirit to be able to be in this huge tropical forest.
The page looks or listen to the eerie, would have been cold and damp plus the sky has begun to pull down the curtain of the night, the atmosphere here is even more bizarre up.
Liu Wan Yan suggested to let Li Xianzheng chat about that time they carried out the mission and today again after the arrival of the situation to compare and contrast, want to be in place from the beginning of the detailed analysis, to see exactly what are the suspicious places. Li Xianzheng then tried to recall the specific events of the mission.
He remembered that after entering the forest, in addition to the high humidity of the air, there was also a strange phenomenon, according to theory, the tropical climate of the forest has a high humidity, humidity is not too low, but within an hour after he and his teammates entered the forest, the wind direction has been constantly changing.
Inside the air is also mixed with a hot and humid breath, if the dense forest inside the wind direction in the non-stop change can only mean that in addition to the woods here, those small hillside certainly have caves exist, but after today came to find and then the situation is completely different.
Since the line of three people into this forest even a trace of wind blowing feeling is not, Li Xianzheng analyzed here, Cheng Kexing also interjected, said very much agree, because in such a large piece of forest feel the existence of the wind is not, is a very strange thing.
Three people discussed here will be the first doubt summarized, about the existence of wind cave. The second doubt is the small black bugs that bit Li Xianzheng's comrade mentioned before, until now the three people have not seen those bugs.
Before it was completely dark.
Liu Wan Diem and the others decided to go to the hill next to the woods to see if they would gain something there.
In a forest not far away, Liu Wan Diem saw from a distance that there might be a small hill, which did not seem to be very big, perhaps because it was covered by the tree with large roots and thick branches and leaves in front of them, so at Liu Wan Diem's decision, the three men were ready to find out what was going on.
It is also very strange to say, in the distance is obviously a whole small forest, but in Liu Wan Diem they look closer, but found that there is only a big tree, is it before is everyone's eyesight? At this moment, the sky has slowly darkened, Liu Wan Diem urged Thanh Nghia to hold the 'small flashlight' in their hands, to avoid the appearance of some strange things.
Liu Wan Diem took the lead and slowly approached towards the big tree, holding in his hand the 'small flashlight' made of open flame, Liu Wan Diem saw that the small hill he had seen before was hidden behind the big tree, so what he had just seen was only the tip of the iceberg of the hill.
In his memory, trees with large roots are either the sacred trees that people often mention for blessing and shelter, or ghosts and monsters that harbor something fishy.
The mountain was hidden behind a big tree, but after three people carefully observed the tree, they seemed to find a strange phenomenon, that is, the tree and the mountain close to the place there is a neat edge of the mouth, similar to the size of the cave or something, when Liu Wan Diem was ready to take the hand of the open flame to shine through.
Suddenly from the inside poured out a very big wind, if not because Liu Wan Diem's back there is Cheng Kexing them, that burst of sudden through out the wind directly will Liu Wan Diem blow down is also no excuse for things. Fortunately, the bright flame held in the hand has a tempered lampshade, otherwise, in this night vision will be even more unfavorable to observe.
It seems that three people have found a breakthrough, at the suggestion of Liu Wan Diem, the three people in that and the towering trees and mountains close to the surrounding with luggage in the flammable material on the open flame close to that cave, want to see that cave in the inside of what exactly, but not yet waited for them to the flammable material lit, and then a strange wind from the cave blowing out, only this time the wind is not so big.
