Catastrophe

All night, everyone spent in fear.

Fortunately, they were not attacked by any wild animals that night.

The rainforest was very humid. When Ning Zhe woke up, his clothes were soaked through. The rainforest was full of birds singing in the early morning, a thriving scene.

Ning Zhe was not used to this high humidity and temperature environment, and felt that his breathing became dull.

The rays of the rising sun shone into the rainforest along the gaps in the tree canopy, and Ning Zhe and his party began to set off one after another.

ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Fang stood on the edge of a small pond, looked at the footprints of a huge beast on the mud, and shook his head gently: "This is the third water source we have found, and there is no human activity. Traces, are you saying we are looking in the wrong direction?"

Ning Zhe nodded and said: "According to common sense, it is impossible for them to not supply water all the way, so the direction of travel should not be the direction we are looking for. The team moves laterally to find the next water source, and then continue to search!"

Ren Jiao glanced at the footprints of the beasts on the ground and said, "Generally, in areas with water sources, there will be wild beasts around. Do you think Zhou Gong and the others are actively avoiding water sources? The climate in this place is so humid, they There are many ways to get water, what if you avoid the water source?"

"Then there is no way. Finding someone through the water source is the only feasible solution for us." Ning Zhe glanced at his watch: "It's 10:05, everyone will continue to walk to find 5:30, if there is no clue yet. , find a place to camp, and then find a way to evacuate."

When several people were talking, Liu Yu walked over here quickly and said nervously: "Ning Shuai, you'd better come with me, we have found out here!"

Ning Zhe raised his eyebrows: "Is it about Zhou Gong?"

Liu Yu didn't know how to explain for a while, pointed to the back, and then began to lead the way: "Perhaps, you'd better take a look yourself."

No clues were found for two days. This kind of thing made everyone feel a little irritable. Hearing that there were clues on Liu Yu's side, everyone followed, ready to find out.

Ning Zhe followed Liu Yu and quickly walked to an open area near the pond. Because the ground was wet, the traces on it were very clear. Ning Zhe found that there were only footprints of beasts on the ground, and frowned, "You didn't mean here. Is the matter related to Zhou Gong?"

"Look at this, I just saw something reflecting sunlight here, so I took a look."

Liu Yu did not explain, but walked over to the feces in front of him, picked it with his bayonet, and exposed a metal button.

Dr. Chen saw the button on the ground, took out tweezers from the tool bag and clamped it: "The logo on the button is very obvious, it is the button of the Lu's army guard!"

"The buttons of the army?" Lin Bao raised his brows. "Didn't you say that the Lu clan sent troops to search this place? Could it be left by their troops?"

Ning Zhe waved his hand and said, "Impossible, the feces on the ground were left by carnivores, and they haven't dried. Judging from the footprints, they should have been left over from the recent past, and there is no trace of rust on this button, it can't be Lu It should have been brought by the troops sent by Shi’s early years. It should have been the carnivore that swallowed the button when it was eating, and excreted it because it couldn’t be digested.”

"It should be our people who ate this beast!" Zhang Fang explained: "After we ended the war with the guards, we seized a lot of materials. Because the markings of such things as military uniforms are too obvious, the materials department issued the order. In accordance with the order, all the captured military uniforms were all disassembled into fabrics, and the dismantled belt buckles and buttons were distributed by the soldiers to replace the original plastic buttons and cloth buttons, so our troops Inside, many people have the logo of the chaebol army on their buttons and belt buckles.”

The corners of Dr. Chen's eyes twitched violently: "Doesn't that mean that Zhou Gong and the others were attacked by wild animals?"

"The words can't be said so arbitrarily. With just one button, we can only conclude that it was our people who were attacked, and we have sent three teams here one after another!" Ning Zhe looked at the footprints of the beasts on the ground and continued: "These beasts are animals with strong territorial awareness. When hunting, they will only start on their own territory. That is to say, the person who was attacked may have strayed into the territory of this beast! And we can pass the ground. Tracking the footprints, although it may not be successful, is better than wandering around here!"

Zhang Fang nodded and said: "I agree! Since we have made preparations for the last day of search and rescue, we will simply go and have a look. If we can rescue, then everyone will be happy. If the situation here exceeds our expectations, everyone should be early. Make plans!"

Ning Zhe nodded, and took the lead to follow the footprints left by the beasts to the depths of the jungle ahead: "Everyone is loaded with bullets, and the safety is turned off! No matter what happens, no one is allowed to shoot without permission to fire. And don't shout too loudly, so as not to disturb the beast!"

As everyone went deeper along the footprints, the trail of the beast ahead became more and more obvious.

Forty minutes later, in front of a scarred oil palm tree.

Ning Zhe looked at the deep ravines on the tree trunk, and took a handful of yellow faces hung by the bark in his hand: "What could it be, lion?"

"To be precise, there are no lions in the tropical rainforest, but the plant and animal systems are in chaos these days. It's not surprising that there are any beasts here." Dr. Chen glanced at the fluff in Ning Zhe's hand: "But I'm more inclined. So this is the fur of a leopard~www.readwn.com~ Ren Jiao raised a question: "The size of a leopard shouldn't be that big, right? And this animal is naturally cautious, how dare to attack a heavily armed team? "

"The environment of tropical rain forests is suitable for the survival of most animals, all animals have abundant food, and those top carnivores will grow in size because of this, which means that they also have higher dominance, and other animals will protect themselves in order to protect themselves. In the territory of China, they are fighting with other beasts every day, which also leads to the fact that animals in the rainforest are generally more ferocious than animals in other places!

Dr. Chen pointed to the footprints on the ground: "The leopards in the outside world are generally twice the size of the old world, and the leopards here are probably even more terrifying!"

"puff!"

Dr. Shen was saying this, when suddenly a small sound came out, Lin Bao turned his head to look at the people around him: "Who are you farting?"

"It's not fart! It's the sound of gunfire with a silencer!"

Ning Zhe's spirit was lifted, and he speeded up and ran in the direction of the gunshots: "I found it!"
