Chapter 48 The Dangerous Jungle (08)

At this point, they were caught in a dilemma again. It’s okay to have no direction. The key is that they have almost used up all the things that can save their lives. They know better than anyone how effective the remaining few broken guns can be. If they encountered a team of devils with no more than ten people, they might be able to cope with it. If it was those weird things in the jungle, he really didn't have any confidence. Almost completely subverted, and finally believe in the reality that the jungle is far more terrifying than devils.

It is impossible to move forward or decide to evacuate. To put it bluntly, they are already trapped here, unable to advance or retreat, but for them, they can't sit still, can they?

"It is our only hope to find the fallen transport plane now." Liang Rong said, "It is too late to retreat. We have nowhere to go. We can only choose to find ammunition. Take a risk."

"It's easy to say, if you want to find ammunition, you have to go through this sparse forest belt. Those 'black mist' will eat people; just run out and go back? I don't do such stupid things, it's not as simple as taking a risk .” Ma Zhong shook his head with an expression that said he was not going in even if he was dead.

"Then you can choose to wait here to die." Li Siming sarcastically said that although he knew it was dangerous, he knew better that Liang Rong was right.

"But how do we pass through that sparse forest belt?" Rhodes agreed with Liang Rong's words, but the first problem was how to pass through this death zone. If you want to find the downed plane, you must first solve the problem.

"I don't know!" Si Xuanyi shook his head: "We can't keep walking there with torches, there are many places where there is nothing for us to burn, and it is impossible to really disperse those things with a small torch."

"If we cut firewood and burn it all the way, we would waste some time at most." Ma Zhong said again, but after seeing everyone's eyes, he shut up knowingly.

"We used up all the grenades and couldn't do enough damage to that thing. Now we only have rifles in our hands. It's impossible to think about it." Li Siming also shook his head.

Si Xuanyi raised his head and looked at A Gui. The latter understood what he meant, but he didn't express his opinion. He just lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. The careful Liang Rong noticed that A Gui obviously wanted to say something, but he didn't know why He didn't say anything, so he asked him what's the matter, and after some reassurance, Agui finally spoke...

"You can try it before dawn, when it is the coldest and there is no wind." Agui looked at everyone and said with a lack of confidence, obviously he was not sure about it.

"Why do you say that?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"My grandpa said that the 'black hair wind' will disappear in cooler places. It likes heat and doesn't like cold." Agui said.

"Have you tried it?" Li Siming asked.

Agui shook his head: "It's also the first time I've seen this thing."

"Isn't there no basis at all? Your grandfather has seen it?" Li Siming asked again with a little hope.

Agui shook his head again: "My grandpa's grandpa told him."

Everyone who said this was speechless. What kind of advice is this?What is the difference between hearsay and hearsay?There is absolutely no credibility whatsoever.

"People of the older generation often know some things, and some ancient legends are not groundless. We can try it." Si Xuanyi said, in fact, he didn't know whether it would work or not, but he could try it if there was no other way. Try it, it's better than staying here.

"Are you crazy?" Li Siming's eyes widened. "This is a joke with our lives. We might all die in it."

"Then do you have any other more feasible method?" Si Xuanyi looked at him, "We have nowhere to go, so we can only keep trying, even if this attempt requires blood, why? Because we all I don’t want to die, but there is a price to pay for living, it’s impossible for everyone to leave here, but at least we can’t wait to die here, even if we have to die on the road to survival.”

Everyone who said these words was speechless, including Rhodes. No one had any reason to refute him. At this point, they could only continue to move forward. At least there was still a glimmer of life, and it was the only way they should choose. If they can't find the transport plane, they can only escape in the jungle. No matter it is a devil or a monster in the forest, they can easily kill them.

That being the case, there is nothing to hesitate, the rest is to wait for the time, and wait for the lowest temperature of the day, in fact, the temperature in the jungle is not too low even in the morning.It's still early, just after noon, and they used this time to do a lot of preparatory work. After all, they don't know whether the method Agui said will work, so just in case they started to prepare a lot. Carry firewood, smoky branches and leaves, and a large number of torches, at least to ensure that there is a source of consumable supplies for a long time, so that the bonfire can be lit to create smoke in the shortest time.

In order to prevent possible miasma, Agui collected a large number of herbs, including the ghost lamp that Zhuge Liang used to avoid miasma when he captured Menghuo seven times near Savage Mountain. They don't know how effective this herb is, but Agui said The few kinds of herbs he collected can deal with at least seven or eight kinds of miasma in the jungle, ensuring that they will not be threatened.

When Si Xuanyi asked how many kinds of miasmas there were in this jungle, Agui was silent for a long time and said that there were at least dozens of them. The "black hair wind" they encountered before was also a kind of miasma, a more vicious one.

Dozens of kinds of miasma, this number sounds shocking, but it seems nothing to this jungle full of mystery and weirdness, other people's attitude towards Agui's herbal medicine is stronger than nothing, and they don't hold anything Hope, on the contrary, Liang Rong followed Agui seriously and asked a series of questions, including the nature of the medicine, dosage, adverse reactions, etc., and wrote it down in a diary she carried with her. Obviously this is a diligent and studious girl. Through these days of study, she has already known a lot of herbs, and can basically identify most of the types she has come across. , which is a good thing for other people, who don't mind having an extra doctor by their side.

After everything was ready, they camped in a depression near the rock wall that Agui had found in advance. They used the nearby vegetation to build a shelter, and everyone could spend the night in this depression about three meters above the ground. It is already a high-level enjoyment for them...
