Wang Qingzheng couldn't wait to open the wooden boxes, one of which was personal equipment, and the other was weapons and ammunition.
Wang Puyuan equipped us with special equipment for the U.S. infantry during the Vietnam War, including tropical field uniforms, Yelin boots, 17A1 gas masks, bags, etc., but the old man replaced the 1956 military equipment with light individual multi-purpose equipment, referred to as C1, this set of backpacks includes plastic flashlights, geotechnical equipment, water bottles, 9 bayonets and small arms ammunition bags.
The 1956 was lighter and lightened our load.
It seems that the old man has made a lot of money this time, so that we can far surpass our opponents in terms of hardware equipment.
The fat man and I took off our military uniforms for many years, and we couldn't imagine looking back on the past, but we were wearing the equipment of American GIs, which didn't matter, and the most important thing was that after we put our clothes on, we found that everyone had a big "king" embroidered on their armbands.
Wang Puyuan, an old thing, did not forget to remind us who was the funder of this operation in the end.
It's really a profiteer, and you can't change it if you want to.
After we were fully equipped, we said goodbye to the indigenous Indians of Titama and went deep into the vast Amazon jungle in front of us, where little Cadilon stood at the front of the crowd and waved at us, and we both knew that this child had entrusted all his hopes to us strangers, and for a moment I felt that the baggage on my shoulders was much heavier.
It was only after entering the jungle that I truly realized the vastness and magic of this rainforest.
"The Amazon and the Andes Mountains, known as their spears and shields by Latin Americans, are the world's longest rivers that the locals are most proud of.
Because it is near the equator, it is very suitable for the growth of tropical plants, and there are more than 50,000 species of plants found so far, and no more than 3,000 species can be distinguished by humans.
There are also a lot of animals here, and there are many rare birds and animals.
The more aggressive ones are jaguars, tapirs, and armadillos.
The jaguar is also called the Emerald Eye by the Incas, and legend has it that the Inca god was once blessed by the jaguar, so he gave it the throne in the jungle and could enjoy all the animals in the rainforest.
If humans want to hunt jaguars for their fur, they must place two emeralds in the leopard's eye sockets or they will be punished by the gods.
Although many locals coveted the gorgeous coat of the jaguar, they had to give up the idea of killing because they had nowhere to find more precious emeralds.
This legend actually invisibly played a protective role for the jaguar.
However, in modern times, Western hunters have ignored ancient legends and are hunting in the Amazon basin, and many plants and animals are declining at a rate we can't imagine. ” As the saying goes, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant.
I remembered that when I was the captain of the golden school, I met many vicious tomb robbers, and they were not blinded by greed like poachers, and tried their best to dig up the bright objects in the tomb, and those who could not be taken would rather be destroyed than leave a little sweetness for future generations.
In the long run, no matter how many tombs there are in the world, they can't withstand their tossing, and in the end when there are no graves to dig up, how should they deal with such thoughts, aren't they just as stupid as poachers who are greedy for momentary pleasure We relied on a map and compass as we slowly made our way through the rainforest, a scorching hot climate filled with giant insects and colorful and oddly shaped plants.
When we passed by the river, we even saw a large fist-sized mosquito hovering on the surface of the river, and the fat man shuddered and asked, "This big mosquito, if you are bitten by it, you will not faint from excessive blood loss."
"I'm not afraid to be afraid for a day, the most annoying thing is this kind of buzzing and flying big-flowered mosquitoes, I used to either light mosquito coils, or slap to death, but the mosquitoes in front of me are bigger than sparrows, furry mouthparts and huge wings, people are frightened, I would rather fight with the jaguar than be bitten by this monster.
In order to avoid being bitten by the giant mosquitoes, we turned away from the river bank and took the paths deep in the woods, which were trodden by the wild beasts of the woods, and although they were inevitably harassed by snakes, insects, and ants, it was much easier than opening a path ourselves.
The temperature in the rainforest is much higher than outside, and after walking all day, everyone's sweat does not need to be squeezed, and it is already flowing down like a waterfall.
The whole person is stuffed in a hot water kettle, and he can't breathe.
I, the fat man and the bald scoop are all former soldiers, and their physical fitness is relatively better, Xiao Wang Ba and Qin Siyan have long been tired and panting, using guns as crutches, dragging all the way behind.
I looked at the sun and said to the bald lady, "It's better to find a place early today to rest in the nest, the rainforest is no better than other areas, and it is not easy to find a safe place to camp." ” The rainforest has a high vegetation cover, and it is easy for both wild animals and snakes and ants to find a place to hide, so choosing a camping spot is a top priority for us to spend the night.
First of all, you can't choose downstream, and then you can't get too close to the riverbank.
The Amazon River is in danger of rising tide at any time during the flood season, and when the flood comes, it is too late to run; Secondly, the location of the camp should not be near the mountains and valleys, this is to prevent being buried alive in the event of a landslide.
However, we are in a shock plain and there is no danger of mudslides.
Instead, the quicksand in the rainforest needs to be watched out for.
I gave the two novices a rough explanation of the criteria for choosing a nest, and everyone took the broad-leaved tree where we were currently located, and divided into groups to find a place to camp, and agreed to gather in half an hour.
For the sake of safety, I put Wang Qingzheng and the fat man in a group, let the bald scoop take care of Qin Siyan, and I formed a team by myself.
This kind of grouping, firstly, has a response to the novices, and secondly, the people of the Wang family and ours can contain each other, so that no one will engage in small groupism behind everyone's back.
After I separated from the other four people, I headed east against the current, trying to find a place on higher ground to take a look at the surroundings.
The bushes beneath our feet were full of small reptiles, but luckily we were wearing tropic-specific marching boots, otherwise it would have been hard to bite them if they climbed up our trouser legs.
Walking through a low bush, I found that there were traces of burning on the ground, and when I got closer, there were obvious signs of human activity in the forest, and the abandoned campfires on the ground and the potholes left by the tent stakes around them were indelible evidence.
I pulled open the bumper on my rifle to keep an enemy in ambush.
He stood there for a while, but found no suspicious signs, and there was no sign of anyone else except for the birds and beasts chirping incessantly.
So I got up, picked up a twig, and stirred up the fire that had long been extinguished, but found nothing but a few burnt bones.
However, the presence of this camp shows that there are other people in the rainforest besides us.
Judging by the speed at which they are traveling, it is very likely that it is a team of bamboo poles.
I felt that the situation was urgent, and in order to prevent everyone from being unprepared and engaged in an exchange of fire with the enemy, I decided to immediately return to the broadleaf forest and wait for the others to return.
A few steps out of the camp, I heard a gunshot from the bank of the river not far away, startling the birds all around, followed by a rush of gunfire, I said badly, it seemed that they had already exchanged hands, and immediately bent down to fasten their shoes, picked up their rifles and ran in the direction of the exchange of fire.
I ran a distance of seven or eight hundred meters in one go, and the leaves hit my body all the way along the way, not to mention how much it hurt.

As I approached the shore, I slowed down, trying to surprise the enemy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I found an ambush in the woods, a friction sound came from behind me, and I didn't have time to turn back, I only felt that someone had hammered a stick heavily on my back, and the whole person fell forward.
I said in my heart that stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, and Hu Ye's face can be planted this time.
I rolled on my side after I fell, avoiding the head-on blow that followed.
Ignoring the sharp pain in my back, I hurriedly stood up, and only then did I realize that my guy was a jungle savage nearly two meters tall, holding a huge stone axe in his hand, the blade of which was larger than my head, and the wooden handle of the axe was painted with dazzling red paint.
He had long, messy hair, leaves and animal skins wrapped around his body, a fierce expression, and his eyes were as wide as those of a cow.
Seeing me stand up, he immediately brandished a big axe and slashed at him, and without waiting for him to rush to the front, I rolled on the spot and picked up the gun that had fallen to the ground.
The fierce stone axe native was first startled, and then he was shot, and he let out a heart-rending roar and threw the stone axe at me.
I didn't expect him to have such a strong sense of fighting and be able to fight back after taking a shot from me at close range.
Hurriedly dodged sideways, this thing has a hundred or ten catties, if you are hit by an axe in the front, then you will not see Chairman Mao directly.
I thought he would take advantage of my distraction to escape, but I didn't expect this big savage to be so fierce that his intestines were hanging outside, and he was striding towards me, and I patronized the stone axe that was hiding from him, and I never thought that there would be such a desperate person.
Before he could turn back, he was already strangled by his neck by a pair of strong arms.
This savage was so strong that I was strangled by his neck and pressed under the armpit, and I could only rely on the strength of both hands to hold his arm back, so as to save myself a chance to breathe, I was pinched by him and couldn't breathe, I only hated that I didn't have a few more hands, and shot this guy with one shot.
He had the upper hand by brute force, and I was getting dizzy and a little unable to hold on, and I knew that if I showed the slightest slackness at this time, he would definitely take the opportunity to break my neck.
But the air in my lungs was decreasing little by little, and just when I was almost about to pass out, two earth-shattering gunshots rang out from behind the wild man, and he didn't even have a chance to snort, and as soon as he let go of his hands, he fell to the ground with a bang, and I was pressed to the ground by him, and suddenly I felt that I had become a monkey under the Five Fingers Mountain.
I coughed violently as I pushed the wildling's giant arm away.
When I saw clearly who the person who put the gun was, I couldn't help but shout: "Second junior brother, do you want to kill your brother?"
The fat man wore a field hat made of leaves on his head, and strode towards me with spears in both hands, and the bald scoop, the eldest young master of the Wang family, and Qin Siyan also came out of the woods one after another.
The life-saving shot just now was the fat man's back to the wildling.
I pushed the wild man's corpse away with difficulty, and coughed for a few moments before I was panting.
Qin Siyan's face was colored, and he didn't know what was scratching a thin and long bloody wound.
The fat man kicked the corpse of the wild man a few times: "His grandmother's, what kind of monster is this, when he came out of the forest just now, he almost scared the fat man's pants off."
It's so fucking sudden. ” Xiao Wang Ba waved his pistol and said: "Not only this one, Liu Meng and I also met two wild men with teeth and claws in front, we fired several shots, I don't know if we hit or not, but we finally scared them back." ” Qin Siyan squatted down to examine the wound and said, "These people should be the Amazon natives that Chief Kamaya said.
Judging by their clothing and weapons, the size of the tribe is not very large.
Those few shots just now were alive, and we had to get out of this area quickly, so as to save us a lot of sleep.
Even if we have more arms in our hands, we can't withstand the siege of hundreds of barbarians. ” In order to avoid another exchange of fire with the local Aborigines, we abandoned the camp that could be used to recuperate, and chose to travel overnight to try to reach the other side of the Devil's Bridge before sunrise the next day.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and that night, a sudden accident completely disrupted our plans
