Chapter 174 Rainforest Crisis
46.7 degrees Celsius.
This is the temperature at 12:28 noon.
Even though the sun was blazing and the heat was unbearable, Luo Yuan still put himself in his backpack and sat on the stone, only showing half of his face.
"10, 9, 8, 7..."
When he reads "0".
The sunlight quickly disappeared and dark clouds quickly gathered.
The wind suddenly became stronger and louder, grinning ferociously, shaking the woods and grass wildly, as if it wanted to uproot them.
In less than 3 minutes, the sky turned from white to black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
"Crash".
Torrential rain poured down.
If such a heavy rainstorm occurs in South City or North City, it will definitely happen once in ten years, but in the summer of this tropical rainforest, it happens almost every day. Fortunately, it lasts only a short time.
Ten minutes later, the heavy rain stopped and the strong wind became lighter.
The sky turned from inky black to overcast, then to white.
Just like dawn, the sun came out, the dark clouds disappeared, and the rainforest became sultry again.
Luo Yuan opened his eyes, stood up, and took off his backpack.
He took out a small bottle from his backpack, poured a white cotton ball the size of a peanut from the small bottle, and put it into a waterproof carton filled with rainwater.
The white cotton ball slowly expands and its color slowly darkens.
This is because it absorbs impurities and harmful substances in rainwater and purifies the water source.
When the water purification pills no longer swell and turn black, it proves that the water has been purified.
He poured a longan-sized piece of concentrated nutrients from a small bottle into his mouth, mixed it with the purified rainwater, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Such a nutrient can supply the basic nutrients and most of the nutrients an adult needs every day.
These were given to him by Miss An and are very useful.
This allowed him to remain in good physical condition after trekking in the dangerous rainforest for more than ten days.
However, purified water and nutrients alone can only maintain basic vitality. If you want to have enough strength, you still have to eat meat.
He walked to the open area in front, uncovered the tarpaulin, took out the dry firewood underneath, placed it on a stone, poured ignition oil on it, and lit it with a lighter.
After the firewood was burning, he took out the processed snake meat from the plastic bag, skewered it with sticks, and roasted it on the fire.
He burned slowly, like he was enjoying an outdoor barbecue.
In fact, he was creating fireworks.
The rising fireworks will not attract wild beasts, but they will attract the attention of rebels.
Otherwise, how would he find the rebel leader in such a large rainforest?
While roasting snake meat, he placed the "Guardian" given to him by Miss An in a tree branch a little higher than him and issued an instruction: "Observe the 100-meter radius around you and tell me immediately if you find humans or dangerous creatures. .”
The chubby "Guardian" made a kitten-like voice: "Yes, sir."
Then two "eyeballs" popped up on its body, and the eyes on the "eyeballs" turned around to observe its surroundings.
In the past half month, the "Guardian" has helped Luo Yuan discover many crises, such as the approach of rebels, pythons, and the lurking of crocodiles and leopards.
Just like now, although Luo Yuan's body armor has been damaged and there are not many bullets left, he is still sitting tight, not worried at all that the crisis is approaching without him noticing.
This also reminded him of what Secretary Song had said to him: "You always owe Miss An so many favors. Miss An is neither short of money nor status, so you can only pledge yourself to me."
Promise yourself?
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he thought in a daze, in fact, it seemed, it seemed pretty good...
Suddenly, the "Guardian" roared like a tiger in his ears: "Please pay attention, please pay attention, there are multiple living people appearing 100 meters away to the north. They are suspected of holding weapons in their hands and are spreading around. They are suspected of being attacked." Surround this place."
"Thank you." Luo Yuan gave the order to it, "Guardians, please remain silent and try not to be discovered by the other party. If you find anyone attacking me where I can't see it, please attack in time."
"Guardian" made a low voice: "Yes."
It put half of its eyes into its round body, and its body turned green, automatically hiding itself.
Luo Yuan took out the AK47 from his backpack and hid it in the grass behind the stone.
He took out a handful of Desert Eagles and buried them shallowly under the ashes.
Then he took out a dagger and hid it in the shallow grass on one side.
Then he took out the small bottle containing water purification pills, nutrients, multi-functional tablets, multi-functional antibiotics, etc. and hid it in the grass.
Then he sat by the fire like no one else and continued to barbecue.
Slight movement sounded from all around.
He secretly said in his heart, they are worthy of being rebels, so many people are sneaking over, but there is so little movement.
If he hadn't been well trained, he might have thought that these movements were caused by small animals.
However, he soon discovered that he was wrong.
Those who appeared around were not rebels, but natives.
They wore feathered hats on their heads, painted faces, animal skins on their bodies, carried bows and arrows, held spears, and had sharp teeth. They looked at him as if they were looking at food.
They still have a person in custody
This man was covered in bruises and tied up, and he was clearly the leader of the rebels.
The rebel leader said something to the natives in the local language. The natives showed satisfied expressions and looked at Luo Yuan with even more hungry eyes.
Luo Yuan's mood hit rock bottom.
Cannibals!
These natives turned out to be cannibals that even the locals had heard of.
It is said that these cannibals live in the depths of the rain forest, isolated from the world, and have not been seen for many years. There are rumors that they have become extinct, but now it seems that they are still alive.
The rebel leader and the cannibals thought that he, a foreigner, could not understand the local dialect, but he had learned some and could carry out basic communication.
The leader of the rebel army told the cannibals that he was a noble from the outside world. His meat was not only delicious, but it could also cure diseases and strengthen the body. More importantly, he carried advanced weapons from the outside world, and you could get those weapons by killing him.
After the rebel leader finished talking to the cannibals, he looked at Luo Yuan and said in English: "They are cannibals. They want to eat us, but you are their first choice of food."
"All my weapons have been taken away. My body is covered with wounds and I have no ability to resist. As long as you save me, I will return the safe to you."
"Otherwise you'll never find that safe!"
Luo Yuan asked in English: "I have been surrounded, how can I save you?"
