Chapter 0500: Savage Mountain (IV)
“What kind of medicine is this?”
Zhuang Rui threw this yellowish pill into his mouth before asking Peng Fei, the pill entered his mouth and had a bitter taste, Zhuang Rui hastily picked up the kettle and drank some water.
“Quinine tablets ……”
Peng Fei replied casually, seeing Zhuang Rui’s puzzled look, he added: “Also known as Cinnabar Cream, it’s against falciparum malaria, and for these miasmas, it’s also a bit useful ……”
In the jungle in front of Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei, filled with a faint dense mist, due to being covered by the dense trees in the forest, these miasmas do not dissipate over the years.
However, it was still considered good now, if it was during the rainy season, and the heavy rain washed out those rotten things, there was no way to stay in that rainforest.
“About how far have we traveled?”
Zhuang Rui looked around, this jungle, except for the fact that it seemed like the trees were denser again, there didn’t seem to be any difference from when he first entered the forest, let alone talk about distinguishing between southeast and northwest.
“There should be another twelve or thirteen kilometers to go, but it’s definitely hard to walk behind here, are you sure you still want to go forward, Brother Zhuang?”
Peng Fei took out a map of Pagang and looked at it for a while, his face was grave, because he realized that the compass actually lost its effect here, and if he traveled further, he would have to rely on the sun above his head, which was blocked by the trees, to distinguish the direction.
“Go, why don’t you go! It’s all here.”
Zhuang Rui in this jungle through more than two hours, in addition to see a few snakes, the so-called jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards, even a shadow have not seen, there does not seem to be any danger, which makes Zhuang Rui confidence increased, and look at this all the way to the way to the appearance of this place is certainly off the beaten track, maybe that batch of gold is really still left in place it!
Zhuang Rui body adventure factor at this time was also inspired up, childhood is to see Robinson’s adventures grew up, now can be such a good opportunity to carry out a jungle adventure, Zhuang Rui how can give up it, danger? It seems that now has not appeared.
The world likes to adventure of the rich but a lot, not to say that China’s real estate tycoon, climbed Mount Everest several times in a row, is the first successful completion of single-cell reproduction of the billionaire scientists abroad, but also often alone to drive his yacht deep into the ocean.
Adventure is now like a rich man’s game, not to mention that the equipment is not the average donkey can play, Shenzhen’s real estate tycoon climbed Mount Everest once the money spent, are more than a million dollars to calculate.
“Okay! Brother Zhuang, be careful on the road below.”
Seeing Zhuang Rui’s insistence to go forward, Peng Fei didn’t say anything more, but took out two simple gas masks from his backpack, handed them to Zhuang Rui and taught him to put them on his face.
This miasma area is not known to have a large area, relying on that quinine pill alone is definitely not possible, fortunately Peng Fei had prepared for this, this kind of gas mask that can be fed for half an hour, he brought a total of four.
“Click ……”
Just as Zhuang Rui had just taken a step, he suddenly stepped on something and almost fell to the ground when his feet slipped.
“What the hell?”
Zhuang Rui fiddled with a tree branch, and when he got a clear look at the object, he was so scared that he took a few steps back.
It was clearly a dead man’s skull, the bones at the chin were already gone, only the canopy and two black holes of the eye sockets remained, which looked unusually weird in this gloomy environment.
A long triangular head, body distribution of red, black, yellow and white four colors about the thickness of the thumb snake, from the eye socket drilled out, seems to be dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui disturbed its residence, raised its head, to Zhuang Rui “hiss” spit down the tongue, and then re-drilled into the thick dead leaves, disappeared.
“Fuck, don’t bite and scare people!”
Zhuang Rui’s heart only felt a “thud” straight jump, fortunately he retreated fast, otherwise really did not bite on a bite, it is not allowed to lose his life, who knows the aura of the toxin has no therapeutic effect.
But now the big talk is too full, Zhuang Rui still carefully followed Peng Fei’s back, toward the depths of the savage mountain.
The further they went, the slower the two of them went, because the mountain gradually became steeper and steeper, and the snakes and insects also suddenly increased, from time to time in some of the low treetops, you can see a colorful snake hanging, there are several times if not for Peng Fei’s quick hands, I’m afraid that in the front of the road he was exploring the way, he would have long been bitten.
As for the bones of the dead, Zhuang Rui is to see a lot, from time to time in the bushes can see the bones of the fallen, as for the clothes and so on have long been rotting, there is no way to recognize their identity, I do not know is that year’s Expeditionary Army generals, or disappeared in the savage mountain of the Japanese devils.
Along the way, Zhuang Rui finally believed that this savage mountain buried bones 100,000 say. There are several places filled with miasma, if there is no gas mask, I’m afraid that it is really hard to pass through, I believe that those routed troops back in the day, the equipment is definitely not as good as their own duo.
“Brother Zhuang, take a break!”
Peng Fei looked at his watch, at this time it was already one o’clock in the afternoon, they had walked for more than four hours, and the distance from the hidden treasure location, it should not be very far away, there are still two or three kilometers or so, but these two or three kilometers, it looks like they still have to walk up for more than an hour.
This trip to the savage mountain, far from imagining the smooth, I’m afraid I might have to spend the night in the mountain.
But Peng Fei really did not expect, Zhuang Rui’s physical quality is actually so good, see his current appearance, more relaxed than himself, and in the exploration of the road, that weighs seven or eight pounds of dry food pockets, was also Zhuang Rui back to the shoulder, is considered to be the sub-machine gun and cartridge clips, Zhuang Rui’s load has been more than 20 pounds.
“Okay, eat something!”
Zhuang Rui looked around, this is a mountain depression, about two to three hundred square meters in size, in the middle there is a forty to fifty square meter pool of stagnant water, both sides are steep rock walls, and in front there is only a narrow path leading to the unknown front.
“Da …… da …… da ……”
Suddenly Peng Fei raised the gun in his hand and swept it at a large tree forty to fifty meters away, startling Zhuang Rui, who was just about to sit down, into jumping up.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, it’s a bobcat ……”
Peng Fei ran to the bottom of that big tree, reached out and picked up a dead big cat from the ground, walked back and threw it directly to the pond and said, “This thing is very aggressive, ordinary leopards can’t fight it, if we don’t kill it or scare it away, when we pass by there later on, we will definitely be attacked by it.”
Zhuang Rui saw this bobcat about thirty or forty pounds, the head looks and the TV has seen the leopard, about the same size, just covered with gray stripes and fluff, and no leopard that kind of golden yellow fur, but with the color of those trees have a few similarities.
On the body of this bobcat, there were three bullet holes, one of which was shot in the head, lifting its skull in general, looking at Zhuang Rui a burst of nausea, and hastily retreated back.
“Brother Zhuang, eat something first! There is no time today, otherwise you don’t look at this cat meat sour, catch a snake with a boiled, that flavor is good, the dragon and tiger that dish, with the main ingredient can not be as good as this bobcat ……”
Peng Fei found a place near the rock wall, cleaned up the weeds around, then greeted Zhuang Rui sat down, in order to hurry, they from the morning to now, but nothing to eat it, now the physical consumption is too large, must be supplemented.
The food is very simple, it is the glutinous rice steamed rice, the dish is also dried radish, both of them are starving, each person even ate three or four glutinous rice balls, after drinking a few mouthfuls of water, the spirit slowly recovered.
Zhuang Rui body although not very tired, but the brain has been taut, this trip he is also considered to be an eye-opener is the poisonous snakes have seen a dozen kinds, in addition to seeing a group of black hair, but not like an ape’s monkeys.
Zhuang Rui do not know, this is Burma’s unique black monkey, the degree of its rarity, no less than the domestic golden monkey, in Burma there are many people ventured into the savage mountain, is to capture this monkey, and then sold to China at a large price.
Of course, the so-called big price is just the Burmese people’s understanding, for these Burmese people whose average monthly salary is equivalent to 300 RMB, there is a number of 10,000 to 20,000 RMB, that is a lot of money.
“Hey, we brought all these things, I’m afraid that Big Brother Zhang and the others don’t even have anything to eat right now!”
Zhuang Rui stood up after eating his fill, patted his stomach comfortably and said to Peng Fei smugly, but he could also guess that at this moment, Zhang Guojun and the others must have lost their mind to eat, and were instead searching for the duo all over the world.
Although his heart felt guilty, but Zhuang Rui this is also something that can not be helped, can not go all over the world to proclaim this treasure map! At most, when he went back, he would say a few more good words about them in front of Hu Rong.
“Brother Zhuang, hush ……”
Peng Fei, who was originally sitting on the ground drinking water, suddenly tensed up, copied the submachine gun by his side with one hand, and strung himself in front of Zhuang Rui.
“Brother Hu, this is how things are, I was wrong, let Brother Zhuang and Brother Peng get lost, I will go back to find ……”
Zhang Guojun, who was nearly one hundred and ninety centimeters tall, was currently standing in front of the skinny Hu Rong with his head lowered, a look of shame on his face, while the row of people standing behind him had expressions on their faces that weren’t very natural.
Seeing Hu Rong looking at himself, Ma Liu couldn’t help but take those feathery dead birds in his hand, behind him, avoiding Hu Rong’s sight.
To say that today Zhang Guojun and other people’s harvest, really quite rich, not only hit seven or eight birds, but also hit a more than forty pounds of small wild boar, this is the morning they were blocked in the depression with water, but unfortunately, the adult wild boar is running away.
However, these trophies did not bring joy to Zhang Guojun and the others, because they waited for nearly two hours at the mountain pass, but did not see Zhuang Rui’s two figures.
