The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 42 The Disappeared Squad (2)
This is indeed a tropical rainforest, and it is surprisingly hot.The woods were filled with dense moisture, and the clothes were sticking to his body, which was wet and uncomfortable.Every step we took, we could only hear the rustling of fallen leaves under our feet. Seeing that the surrounding dense forest blocked the direction to the mountain, we seemed to have lost our way, and we couldn't get out of this dense tropical rainforest.

"Look, this water seems to flow down from the mountain over there." Xiang Ru pointed to a thin stream at our feet, and I looked forward, only to see a messy forest surrounded by old vines road.

The fat man pulled out his bayonet, walked in front and slashed at these old vines without saying a word, and the old vines were chopped off in an instant.

"China is so vast and rich in resources, and the environment in each place is different. I..." John said to me excitedly, but I covered his mouth.

I grabbed the fat man who was slashing at Xing's head again, put my index finger on my mouth, and signaled him to keep quiet.Everyone looked at me in such a state that I didn't dare to speak anymore, and stared around.

I pointed to an old tree covered with vines in front of me with my hand. With the faint light, we seemed to see a person sitting under the old tree.Who would come and sit here at such a late hour in a dense forest with no human habitation?
Everyone and I tiptoed forward, and whispered to this man a few times. Seeing that he didn't respond, we used the flashlight to shine like this, and suddenly a chill rushed to the top of our heads.

The man in front of him had a wide-brimmed sun hat, was wearing a white short sleeve and a pair of shorts, his whole body had turned blue-black, and his body was actually covered with dense bullet holes.

"This man was shot to death? Isn't this a terrible death? Could it be that he is Second Lieutenant Tom? He doesn't look like that!" The fat man knelt down on him and looked back and forth.

No matter how I look at it, this man looks like a zombie, with his sunken eye sockets and cheeks, his wide open mouth, his wrinkled bluish-black skin like dead tree bark, and a bullet hole half the thickness of his little finger. It seems that he is trying to tell us something extremely tragic happened in the moment before his death.

"Zhijiang, didn't you notice that there are no maggots on this person?" Xiang Ru looked at us carefully and asked us.

I double-checked again and there were no maggots on him.This is quite strange, it stands to reason that in such a dense environment, it is normal to have maggots on the body after death, but there is no such thing as this guy.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a few long whistles like car horns in the dense forest behind me, followed by a rumbling sound like a tank.Everyone looked suspiciously, and saw a group of elephants roaring towards us from the forest in the dim light!

"No! The herd is crazy!" I yelled at them all.

It is said that there are elephants on the China-Myanmar border, and they are often seen in zoos, but no one has seen wild elephants.It is said that they are very vigilant and will attack people violently at the slightest sign of trouble.

Everyone couldn't care about anything, left the zombie and ran forward.The herd of elephants stepped on the ground like crazy and rushed towards us. The whole ground seemed to be rumbled and trembled by their huge bodies. The leader was a guy who was taller than other elephants, staring at two red eyes He ran towards us and raised his thick nose and roared. If these guys stepped on us, it would be no problem for us to make ten or eight human meat pancakes, and one of them was from a foreign country.

I looked back as I ran desperately, and saw a black cloud behind them.I was suddenly puzzled, why did the dark cloud float so low and chase the elephant?Could it be that dark clouds can also become fine?

Just thinking about this, suddenly heard a miserable roar from behind, everyone looked back, and saw that the black cloud had surrounded the elephants in groups, and those huge animals were shaking their noses and tails desperately in the dark cloud, flapping two huge elephants. He slammed around like a headless fly with his ears, and the surrounding trees were trampled down.

Seeing that the herd of elephants stopped chasing us, we took a closer look.There was a dark cloud there, clearly palm-sized mosquitoes, buzzing and flying towards these elephants with thick needle-like mouthparts.

No wonder these elephants chased us for no reason. It turned out that this was not the case at all, but they were attacked by these rare giant mosquitoes, and then they suddenly chased us. In fact, they were running for their lives. The blue and black mummy with "bullet holes" seems to be the gift of these giant mosquitoes.

"There is an old saying in China called 'one thing falls one thing', you haven't heard of this, hehe! Now let you take a good look, this is what this old saying means." The fat man smiled at John and said, John kept shrugging at us.

But I couldn't laugh. It was really creepy to see these almost invincible behemoths on land being bitten by these mosquitoes, rolling back and forth like crazy on the ground to no avail.

These rare giant mosquitoes covered with black and white hairs flew onto the elephants one after another, pierced the elephant's soft and thick skin with sharp needles, and sucked the bright red blood from the inside.In a short time, the elephants in front of them were sucked into dry corpses, and even their eyeballs were shrunk in, and the shriveled stomachs of these giant mosquitoes became round and red.

When everyone realized that their battle was over, these giant mosquitoes flew towards us again, and the huge sound was buzzing behind us like a group of fighter jets.

Although we are rushing forward desperately, how can a man with two legs run faster than a mosquito with a pair of powerful wings?The buzzing sound behind him became more and more similar, and suddenly John tripped over an exposed tree root under his feet, and fell forward with a somersault.

The fat man and I hurried forward to pull him, but just as we pulled John up, we saw the mosquitoes had already come to him.All of a sudden, these giant mosquitoes jabbed and stabbed us indiscriminately, and we waved the clothes in our hands desperately.

Seeing that this line of defense is gradually weakened, several mosquitoes have found a gap to attack us. At this critical moment, Xiang Ru suddenly took out the "gentian incense" that the old clock gave us, and drank it. He took a big mouthful and held it in his mouth, and sprayed it out towards the crazy giant mosquitoes in front of him.

A burst of strange fragrance immediately filled the air, and in an instant, these giant mosquitoes died, fled, and fell to the ground with a crackling sound. The remaining ones that were still flapping their wings and struggling were also trampled into bright red puddles by our feet. of blood.Fortunately, we waved quickly, checked each other's front and back, and saw that there were no wounds, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief in shock.

"Mosquitoes in China are really terrible. What is this scented water you sprayed just now?" John asked us in surprise.

"Are you dumbfounded?" The fat man smiled triumphantly, "It's called 'gentian incense'. It was invented by our Chinese 'medical sage' Zhang Zhongjing. Hehe! It's amazing, right?"

"Very good! It's amazing!" John said with his eyes wide open and a thumbs up. Although we couldn't understand the foreign language he said, we could still see that he was boasting about the 'gentian fragrance' in surprise.

"Let's go, young master, I'll tell you as we go!" The fat man patted John on the shoulder and said, I was just wondering, when did this 'gentian incense' become Zhang Zhongjing's invention?Fatty is getting better and better at making up covers. I have to admire him, but I admire Lao Zhong even more for his ability to predict things like a god. This guy seems to know almost everything about astronomy and geography.

As I walked, there was a rustling sound of wind blowing leaves in front of me, "Let's come out!" I couldn't help shouting.

The general wind blowing into the dense tropical rainforest is like being caught in layers of nets, and only at its edge can you feel the comfort of the wind blowing.

Sure enough, a small mountain suddenly appeared in front of our eyes. This mountain stretched together with several other hills, and embraced the whole Mengchong in our arms.

We walked and looked around the mountain and found nothing special.I was doubting my previous judgment when suddenly there were several muffled thunders in the sky. After the muffled thunders, I seemed to hear some unusual sounds.

"Listen, it seems that someone is talking!" I whispered to everyone.

In fact, I don't need to say it, everyone has already heard it, and there are some chaotic and noisy voices echoing around us.The sound was loud, mixed with intermittent shouts, guns, and calls.Chinese, Japanese, and English are mixed together, and the sound is deafening, hitting our eardrums back and forth.

"What's that sound?" Xiang Ru asked, "Could it be the sound of that battle back then?"

"Yes, I think this may be the sound of the battle recorded by the earth's magnetic field, and it reverberates in the valley when it encounters thunderstorms." John said seriously.

I understand that this is the same as the image of the woman in red and those cavemen we met in the cave at the top of Mount Everest last time, and it belongs to the record of the scene at that time by the earth's magnetic field.

"Look!" Xiang Ru suddenly pointed behind us and shouted.

We turned our heads and looked, only to see a dozen or so American soldiers wearing steel helmets and holding M1 carbines suddenly appearing behind us under the hazy moonlight. Under the leadership of a burly commander, they bowed and walked quietly We trot past.

"Follow me, go, go!" the American commander lowered his voice and waved to the soldiers behind him.

Everyone stared blankly, but I suddenly realized that it was the earth's magnetic field replaying their battle scene back then. "Oh, Mygod! He's Lieutenant Tom!" John whispered to us, "I saw him in my grandpa's photo!
It looked like they had traveled through the rainforest, looking for something.

Not far in front of them, suddenly appeared a figure that appeared and disappeared, and the three pieces of cloth behind his head were flapping with his footsteps. They were Japanese!

The commander followed behind quietly with a dozen or so U.S. troops. I waved to everyone and ran quietly behind them.

I saw them turning into a depression on the side of the mountain. On that depression grew a towering ancient tree several people thick, surrounded by some rubber trees.The Japanese soldier walked under the old tree and looked left and right, then turned around the trunk a few times, a small hole suddenly opened in the trunk, the little devil looked left and right again, and then quickly got in.

Those American troops quietly hid behind a few rubber trees, and when the little devil got into the tree hole, they tiptoed and trot over.

We followed the U.S. military, and everyone may have forgotten that this is just a holographic image replayed by the earth's magnetic field. The immersive and tense scene in front of us made us sweat for the U.S. military.

I saw the U.S. troops also drilled in from the hole one by one. We came under the tree and touched the position where they turned, and suddenly we touched a slightly protruding thing.This thing looks like the switch of a faucet, it is painted in the natural color of wood, and it can't be seen without touching it.

I turned the thing a little bit, and just heard a click, and a small hole was opened in the trunk, and everyone got in along the hole.
