Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road: Chapter 167 One-line connection of natural moat
chapter 167
The wild fox brothers are discussing the next plan. Suddenly a drop of rain fell on Bell's face, he touched it, looked up, and heavy dark clouds blocked the sky. Then a few drops of rain fell between the brothers, and Raphael was shocked: "It's going to rain heavily, you have to run up the mountain quickly, otherwise, if a flash flood or a sudden mudslide occurs, you will be in big trouble."
Lu Fei immediately took action, quickly smeared a little more garlic juice on everyone's body, and quickly packed his backpack. The first to rush up the hillside, the first to open the way up the hill. The other brothers also hurriedly packed their bags and followed them up. When the brothers had just been in the jungle for less than half a minute, the rain poured down with a terrifying momentum.
It rained heavily on the open space on the mountainside, but only light rain dripped in the jungle, and the huge tree canopy and leaves blocked the heavy rain. However, the muddy water was rushing down the dirt road. Lu Fei had just opened the path, which was already narrow. At this time, the mud was extremely muddy, and it became more and more difficult to walk. After a long trek, Lu Fei found an upward path. But this path may have been unpassed for a long time, already intertwined with vines. Thanks to Lu Fei's brute strength and endurance, he could continue to open the way, so that he would not be too tired to persevere. The wild fox brothers walking behind him couldn't help but admire him. Knowing that Jack didn't open the way, he would definitely travel slowly and fall into a quagmire.
Yehu and his group struggled to climb up until they reached the top of the mountain after more than two hours.
The wind and rain on the top of the mountain were much heavier. Thanks to the many towering trees that sheltered the wind and rain, everyone did not become a chicken. In the midst of the storm, Raphael said loudly: "It's better not to go down the mountain now, it's too dangerous, the soil erosion in the tropical rain forest is very serious, and now there will be mudslides or large-scale mountain collapses at any time."
Bell replied loudly, "But how can you rest here. Everyone has brought a few tents, but how can you sit on the ground?"
Lu Fei said loudly: "I brought a moisture-proof pad, everyone, let's squeeze. Let's find the highest place on the top of the mountain, preferably with a big tree to cover it."
After the group circled around the top of the mountain, Raphael came up with an idea, and Bell urged everyone to work together. They found a protruding grass in the middle of the top of the mountain, cleaned up the insects and ants, and used a big tree as a pillar. A roof made of branches was hastily built between the three trees, and Lu Fei cut a lot of leaves in the dense forest to cover the roof, put moisture-proof mats on the ground, and hung a tent on the empty side to make a door curtain. Everyone worked hard in the rain for an hour before building a resting place.
Then the seven people will be crowded together and there will be enough place to sit. Although the place is cramped, there is a good or bad place to rest, so it will not pay much attention to this.
The brothers could finally rest for a while in the windy and rainy weather, and Fanny said: "The brothers are very capable, and it is not easy to build a shelter in this environment. Especially Jack, a knife is a knife. Branches, never cut twice, 10 minutes is enough to make a roof. It’s too awesome, it’s still a few hours after cutting the road. By the way, let’s send someone to guard, or I go first?”
Bell said: "Although it is unlikely that the chasing enemy will come up so quickly in this windy and rainy day, but just in case, someone still needs to be sent to guard. But no matter what, it is not your girl's turn to suffer this kind of crime. Dewey, you go, find a tree to climb up, and I'll come for you in an hour. We'll discuss the next arrangements."
Dewey agreed, put down his backpack, and went out with his gun on guard.
Raphael looked at his watch and said, "It's one o'clock in the afternoon. Captain, brothers, if the rain stops, do you want to move on? By the way, you have to fill your stomach. The physical exertion is too much."
Lu Fei said: "Let's eat first. I'll go outside to collect rainwater. The rainwater is relatively clean. This is not an industrial area. After a while, the rain will be cleaner. I'll cook vegetable soup for everyone." After speaking, Lu Fei left. Go out to pick up the rain.
It was a good coincidence that a pheasant flew not far away. Because of the heavy rain, it flew very low and was about to pass over the treetops in front of Lu Fei. Lu Fei's subconscious flying knife shot, and the pheasant fell in response.
He happily picked up the pheasant, and in the rain, he used a flying knife to drain the blood and clean the internal organs. After a few minutes, he washed the pheasant clean, and then happily carried a pot of water and returned to the rain with the pheasant. shed.
The brothers were very excited when they saw that Lu Fei came back with a washed and peeled animal, and helped to set up the pot. Lu Fei went out and broke many relatively dry branches on the tree, and peeled the bark in the canopy. Go and set fire to it. Although the smoke is not small, the canopy is not airtight, and everyone can stand it.
Half an hour later, Bell called Dewey back and went to watch on duty himself. Everyone ate a pot of pheasant vegetable soup together. After eating the chicken and chicken soup, cook the rice and use most of the remaining rice.
After another hour, everyone was full. The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping. Bell came back and discussed with everyone while eating rice whether to continue walking or to camp here today.
Raphael looked worried and frowned: "Don't go now, it's still early, Godanwei's people will catch up sooner or later. Continue marching with heavy rain, and the road is extremely dangerous. If it is later, it will be dark. Even if the rain stops, we won't be able to walk at night."
Bell shook his head and said, "That's true, but looking down from the top of the mountain, this mountain is at least seven or eight hundred meters high, and the way down is too long. Now that the rain is so heavy, the road is not only difficult to walk, but also faces the danger of mudslides. "
Lu Fei couldn't think of a way for a while, so he went out to see the terrain in the rain.
After a few minutes, he came to the edge of the cliff. Taking out the binoculars, through the rain and fog, I could vaguely see that the mountain on the west side is slightly lower than the mountain where they are located. The two mountains are very close, and there is a big tree on the opposite mountain. Lu Fei felt a bit like the scene of the Crocodile River at that time, but the difference was that he couldn't jump over it this time.
He ran back to the canopy, gathered everyone together, and even called back Vasily, who was on duty.
Lu Fei said: "I have a bold idea that will allow us to save at least 10 hours of travel, completely get rid of the chasing soldiers, and let everyone rest easily and safely today."
Ada joked: "Then only fly over Savage Mountain."
Lu Fei raised his thumbs and said, "How did you guess, women are too smart, and Raphael has no chance to be lazy."
Everyone opened their mouths when they heard the words. Lu Fei told everyone about his plan. Bell opposed it first, thinking it was too risky. This time, it wasn't so dangerous, so he didn't have to fight so hard. The others also shook their heads, feeling a little taken for granted.
Lu Fei insisted on trying it out. If he couldn't do the first step, he would just give up. He took out a long rope from his bag, wrapped it thinly and tied it to the flying knife, and then got out of the tent. The brothers also followed Lu Fei to the side of the mountain in the rain.
Lu Fei first found a big tree that was only about 3 meters away from the cliff, and then looked at the big tree he selected on the opposite mountain. He cautiously took out the telescope to observe, and calculated the straight-line distance from the cross of the telescope to be 62 meters. .
Lu Fei said loudly: "I see the big tree on the opposite side, it is about 3 meters lower than ours. You see, the trunk of the big tree is very forked, and the branches and leaves are particularly lush. I will pass the flying knife with the rope through these trunks, After exhaustion, the rope will fall naturally. With so many tree trunks involved, the flying knife will definitely be entangled with the rope. I will use the multi-function descender to slide over the rope. When I get there, reinforce the knot and send the descender vigorously. Come back, you come one by one, that's all."
Ada said: "I know, except that the first step is not to jump over, the other operations are the same as the Crocodile River."
Bell said: "First try to see if the flying knife and the rope can hook the tree trunk. If it is safe, then of course it is the best."
Lu Fei immediately gave the end of the rope to Vasily and let him wrap it around his waist. He took out the flying knife, and did not run, he swung his right hand round and vigorously swung it forward. The flying knife was instantly released, and a beam of light passed through the layers of rain and flew towards the 2-meter fork of the opposite tree.
The throwing knife was castrated in a hurry and fast. It flew through the rain and fog in the mountains in an instant, but because it was dragging the long rope, the castration attenuated, flew over the branch of the tree, and hung down. several branches in the branch.
"Yeah", Ada cheered first, Lu Fei picked up the rope on the ground and pulled it hard, but the rope didn't move. He tied the rope to the fork of the big tree, made two loops, and tied two dead knots. Hang up the multi-function descender, put all the guns on him into the backpack, and throw them to Dewey.
said loudly: "I'll go first, fix the knot, you'll bring it for me later."
Bell patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "Every time you play heartbeat, be careful."
"Let's go", without waiting for the brothers to react, Lu Fei put his feet into the rope loop, kicked the tree trunk hard, and slid down.
In the heavy rain, a figure swept across the mountains and went straight to the opposite peak.
A few seconds later, Lu Fei came to the big tree opposite, he lightly supported the big tree and jumped down. He turned around excitedly and shouted to the opposite side: "Success! You wait for me for a while."
Next, Lu Fei made an intensive operation, tied the knot again, and threw the descender back to the opposite side. The rain was good, too, the ropes were much better lubricated, and it was easier to throw back into the descender than he thought.
Seeing that Lu Fei had successfully reached the mountain, the brothers immediately went to the canopy to put the things inside and put them in their backpacks, then returned to the big tree and began to slide and migrate. Dewey taxied for the second time and arrived very smoothly. Next, the brothers slid past one by one, and the penultimate one was Fanny, who was scared and excited, and slid past with a loud shout, and it was Captain Bell at the end.
When he slipped, the brothers had already built a canopy in the middle of the top of the mountain, and this time they built a canopy among the four big trees. The place is much bigger.
Lu Fei returned to the edge of the cliff, flew out a knife, cut the rope of the opposite tree, and successfully retracted the climbing rope.
An hour later, the brothers were lying on their backs under the canopy and on the moisture-proof mat. Lu Fei also drew a circle of realgar wine around. The terrain here is high, and the top is covered by a canopy. The realgar wine will not be washed away by the rain quickly, and it can effectively isolate snakes, insects, rats and ants. Let everyone rest in peace. It rained heavily, and wild animals had to take shelter from the rain, so they would not attack them rashly. Of course, there will still be a vigil at night.
After getting excited, Fanny asked Ada quietly, and said, "Sister, you guys had such a good time before. It seems that this is not the first time from your expressions."
Ada said proudly: "That is, the last time was not as high as this time, but it was more dangerous. Let me tell you about the last time..."
The two were whispering there, and Bell was still looking at the situation on the opposite hill with his binoculars. However, there are many big trees on the mountain where they are located, the view is not good, and they are looking up from the low, so Bell can't see clearly.
Raphael said with a smile: "Captain, don't worry, with such a heavy rain, the chasing soldiers may not be able to climb to the top of the opposite mountain. Besides, they have worked hard to climb to the top of the mountain, but they can't find anyone, which makes them doubt their life. , don't you think it's interesting?"
Bell grinned and said: "It makes sense, I have to doubt life, the canopy is there, the people are gone, and the dog is probably stunned. If Godanwei's army thinks we are down the mountain and hurries to chase, it is estimated that It has to be washed down the mountain by the flood. With such a heavy rain, the mountain is prone to slide and form landslides and debris flows.”
Lu Fei shook his head and said: "I guess they won't chase down the mountain immediately. These soldiers have been stationed outside Savage Mountain for a long time. There must be some jungle survival experts who will not rush down the mountain. Godanwei is not a fool."
The rain continued to fall, and after a while, the rain gradually became smaller. At this time, the stream at the foot of the mountain made a rumbling sound. The good Dewey took the binoculars to observe, and soon ran back, full of shock, and said, "There has been a big flood down the mountain, and it seems that part of the mountain has been washed down. The stream below is turbid and the waves are turbulent, and the momentum is not small. Fortunately, we didn't go down the mountain, and we might be wiped out if we were not careful."
Ada nodded and said, "I think we shouldn't expose our tracks next. The pursuers are likely to think that we died in a flood or a mudslide. Coupled with the flash flood, they won't be able to come and follow us, so they might just go back. home."
Lu Fei nodded and said, "It's possible, but it's hard to say. Killing your brother is no small matter. In any case, it's always right for us to hide."
Bell thought for a while, and said, "Everyone goes out to catch the rain, eat compressed food and water at night, and don't burn wood to make smoke. If you can fool these pursuers, think we are dead and stop chasing, we will also No worries."
The brothers nodded, took out all kinds of water-filled things, and went out to catch the rain. The rain was getting smaller and smaller, and the brothers were receiving the rain in the woods. Lu Fei suddenly heard faint movement on the opposite mountain, and immediately reminded everyone to enter the woods and return to the canopy.
Everyone returned to the canopy and walked out again with guns. After the group dispersed, the brothers moved to the edge of the cliff in the woods, under the cover of the big tree.
Bell knocked on his earphones and said softly: "Brothers, please don't shoot if the other party doesn't find us."
