Indiana Jones

Chapter 16 Entering the Jungle (06)

Several people climbed all the way up, and they climbed more than ten meters before stopping. At this time, they were already close to 30 meters from the ground. A Gui chose a place with dense branches to settle down, and everyone huddled together to wait for the dawn.

Si Xuanyi and Li Siming stood by their feet. After what happened just now, everyone felt completely relieved. Agui said that there are many big pythons in this kind of place, especially at night when pythons come out to hunt and many nocturnal animals come out to move around. , it's not surprising, it's just that the big one is a bit outrageous.

At this moment, gunshots suddenly sounded in the distance, far away, but very clear, and the gunfire was very dense.

"It's the 92th cover and the [-]nd style, devil." Li Siming listened for a while and said, "At least one team of troops is in front of us, at least a total of kilometers away."

Why did the Japanese appear in the depths of such a dense jungle?If it is true that even locals would not easily enter this kind of place as Agui said, then what made the Japanese risk their lives?
"Could it be that they are chasing us?" Ma Zhong said this nervously. Although the words sounded unreliable at all, they alluded to his inner fear of the Japanese.

"Impossible, we don't have such a high value." Li Siming said below, "But we have been exposed."

A few people suddenly thought of that shot by Li Guoshou just now. Now that they can hear the gunshots of the Japanese, they can also hear the Japanese just now.

"What are you afraid of? It's impossible for them to find us in such an environment." Li Guoshou said a little self-consciously, "Besides, we have no value in tracking us, as you said just now."

"From now on, no one can easily shoot if it is not necessary." Si Xuanyi said with a sullen face, the situation was more complicated than they expected, and the involvement of the Japanese cast a shadow over everyone's heart.

The gunfire lasted for more than ten minutes. I don’t know if the Japanese encountered a wild beast or were fighting with someone. In short, in this dark night, somewhere in this forest, the Japanese did not live better than them, although the Japanese People are in front of them, but the possibility of encountering them in this kind of jungle that covers the sky and the sun is not high, but it is better to be more careful.

The torches became their only lighting tools. Agui made a few more out of tree branches, but it was impossible to last until dawn anyway. Agui rebuilt a platform. After what happened just now, everyone felt relieved , huddled together and staring at the surroundings, even Liang Rong was no exception, everyone was waiting for the dawn in fear.

Si Xuanyi and Li Siming kept guard below. Fortunately, there was nothing to harass them, and the python did not follow, but Si Xuanyi's heart was cast with a shadow, not because of the giant python, nor because of the following There were poisonous snakes all over the ground, but that ferocious strange face. He believed that he was right. That strange face disappeared after a flash. Although it was just a face, judging from its size, it must be a huge monster. He has no way of judging what it is, but he is very clear that the thing came from bad intentions, and it must not be as simple as just looking at it.

Li Siming used bullets to make a few "incendiary bombs" that can ignite quickly. In fact, he stuffed some tinder and other things from Agui into the pistol bullets that dropped the bullets, and used the gunpowder to ignite quickly. Combustibles can be fired in a short time with a single shot, so it is more appropriate to call an ignition bomb.

"Our bullets are very precious and should not be wasted too much." Li Siming handed two ready-made ignition bombs to Si Xuanyi. In this environment, he knew the importance of working together. Going on must rely on the joint efforts of everyone.

"According to our original estimate, our ammunition can last for five to seven days, which is enough for us to cross the most dangerous part of this jungle and deal with most of the beasts at our level of knowledge, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid..." Si Xuanyi Shaking his head, "If we encounter a monster like the giant python that is beyond their imagination, it may be exhausted once or twice. Now there are more Japanese, so our ammunition is not enough for emergency."

"In the jungle, the role of guns is very limited. Encounters with ferocious beasts are almost instantaneous. Even a Thomson submachine gun can only fire one clip at most. There is no chance to change bullets. It's just that you can feel more at ease with a gun in your hand. " Li Siming said, "If we meet the Japanese, we can only run, and we have no chance of winning in a head-on conflict." He glanced up, and it was obvious that his subtext was that it was impossible for these people to work together to fight Japan When people fight, they must scramble to escape.

"Yeah." Si Xuanyi nodded. Li Siming's words made sense. In their current state, let alone meeting the Japanese, even the forest was very difficult to deal with.

In this way, the crowd huddled together, the torches burned out quickly, and the surroundings suddenly fell into complete darkness. Everyone listened to all kinds of strange cries and waited for the dawn in fear. They entered the first night in the real jungle described by Agui. In such a state of embarrassment, they really don't know what else is waiting for them.

This night is very long, time seems to stand still in the darkness, all kinds of strange calls come from all directions, many of them are even beside them, they are tens of meters above the ground, you don't know these things How did they suddenly appear around them? Fortunately, those things did not trouble them. It was not until the next morning that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was much brighter than night after dawn, the surrounding area was still dim, replacing the darkness. It was thick fog like milk, and the milky white fog completely enveloped them, and they couldn't see anything two meters away.

"Wait until the fog clears before leaving." Si Xuanyi said, it was very difficult for them to get down from the tree under this kind of visibility, and even if they returned to the ground, they would get separated because they couldn't see each other, and it was possible to go out alone in the forest Sex is not nothing, but infinitely close to zero.

Everyone was exhausted this night, and the fear in the dark consumed what little energy they had left. At this time, the sky was shining brightly, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After this relaxation, the exhaustion quickly hit, and several people leaned together and fainted. sleep.

Agui's condition was much better than the others. He climbed up the trunk all the way, and soon came out of the fog layer. It was only then that he found that there were some huge tree crowns dotted in the fog sea under his feet. These tree crowns were more dense than other jungle trees. The tree under his feet is one of them. In the distance, there are taller ones standing in the sea of ​​fog. There are undulating mountains in the distance. The rising sun has already revealed half of its face on the mountain peaks. , Thousands of golden lights spread over the jungle, and the sea of ​​fog surged like a fairyland.

"If the jungle only has beautiful scenery, it would be worthwhile to come here." Si Xuanyi also climbed up at some point, followed by Li Siming.

Si Xuanyi said to Li Siming: "Call Liang Rong up, hasn't she memorized all the maps? Let her come up to see where we are and where we should go."
