Chapter 975

The night was quiet.

There seemed to be the roar of wild animals in the distance, and there were rustling sounds in the grass behind him.

The forest at night is more mysterious than in the daytime.

Jacques shrunk his neck subconsciously.

Dr. Gary said, "Are you scared?"

Jacques said honestly: "A little bit."

Involuntarily, he clenched his coffee cup a little tighter.

Gary: "Don't worry, we have set up a cordon, and the beast will sound the alarm.

In addition, I sprinkled medicinal powder around us, which is very effective against snakes, rats, rats and ants.A friend of mine developed it just for me, and the same potion you put on your body. "

Jacques remembered the powder the Doctor had thrown around the cordon after they had pitched the tent.

It seems to be working.

And that potion, after they applied it, they walked through the forest for a day without being bitten by mosquitoes. You must know that in such a forest, mosquitoes can kill people.

It was because of this potion that they dared to sit outside in the field instead of hiding in the tent.

"Teacher, is your friend an expert in pharmaceuticals?"

"Well, he was originally a medical expert, and he can also be regarded as a botanist, because he studies all the medicinal materials that grow naturally and refines them.

Ten years ago, I met him during my investigation in Laos. Fortunately, I had him, otherwise I would have died. At that time, I was bitten by a rare poisonous snake. It was he who found a medicinal material that saved my life.So we went together..."

Thinking of that experience, Gary still has lingering fears.

Although the teacher did not specifically describe the situation at that time, Jacques still felt the tension at that moment.

Because he was bitten by a poisonous snake before, he knew that he would die a little later.

Gary: "We became friends after that and kept in touch.

I will tell him what rare plants I find, and he will also tell me some medicinal materials he needs, and let me collect them for him by the way,

He then used these rare medicinal materials to develop many medicines.

In return, he prepared the antidote pills, wound medicines, plasters, potions, etc. that we smeared on our bodies and carried in my first aid kit. These are good things that cannot be bought outside. "

Roy and Jacques also prepared a lot of medicines when they set off, but the doctor seemed to trust the strange pills and potions in his own box more.

So let them all take and smear some first.

It seems to be working now.

Jacques was full of curiosity about the teacher's friend: "Your friend sounds very mysterious. I wonder if there is a chance to meet him?"

"Hehe, want to see him? If it was really not easy before, because he is also a person who has no fixed place, either on this mountain or in that forest to explore and collect medicine. But this time you have hope to see him, because he is in Burma."

"Really?"

"Am I going to lie to you? When I decided to visit Myanmar, I contacted him, because I heard from him that he was very familiar with this place. I wanted to invite him to visit with me, even if he didn't come. He will give me good advice, but I didn’t expect him to say that he is in Myanmar and he will come to me when he finishes his work.”

Jacques: "What a coincidence."

"Yeah, I haven't seen him for a long time, it's great to see him here."

Jacques: "Then does he know where we are?"

"I contacted him in the small village down the mountain and told him our location."

"Teacher, why don't we wait for him in the village?"

"He doesn't know when things over there will end, so don't wait, he will find us."

Jacques: "We should mark him along the way..."

"Haha, no need. This friend of mine has a nose as sharp as a hound's, and it's easy for him to find us."

"Teacher, I am more and more curious when you say that. Who is your friend? He is very capable according to what you mean?"

Dr. Gary shrugged: "It's true, he is a person full of mysterious power, even I can't figure it out."

This made Jacques even more curious, and pestered Dr. Gary to tell more stories about him and his friends.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with staying here at night, and it is best to tell stories in the dead of night.

Time passed quickly, and it didn't take long before midnight.

Aggie and Roy are up for a shift change.

Aggie: "Doctor, you didn't find anything, did you?"

Jacques: "It's very calm, except for the roar from a distance, I didn't even see a ghost."

Roy: "Teacher, I've left this place to us, go and rest."

The doctor handed the gun to Aji and went into the tent.

Jacques also handed the fire stick in his hand to Roy.

"Here you are, add more firewood and make the fire a little hotter. It will be a little cold in the second half of the night."

Roy took the fire stick: "Don't worry, go to sleep."

Jacques also got into another tent to rest.

There is also the temperature left by Aji in the sleeping bag.

But Jacques couldn't fall asleep, and his mind was still thinking about the mysterious Professor Qu.

Dr. Gary later told him that his friend was Chinese with a surname of Qu, and he was called Professor Qu when he met him.

Thinking of the mysterious Professor Qu, Jacques gradually fell into a dream.

Then he was awakened by a strange sound.

That sound was right above his head, as if something sharp was scratching the tent, making a puffing sound.

At first he thought it was a dream?

But when he listened carefully, it was indeed on the top of the tent. He also saw the top of the tent swaying, as if there was something lying on his stomach?

Is it a beast?

Pulling tents with its sharp claws?

Their tents were made of special materials, ordinary knives and the like could not be scratched, even the sharp claws of wild beasts could not be scratched, so Jacques was not worried about the wild beasts falling in.

but--

If the beast was on it, Aji and Luo Yi, who were on night watch outside, should have discovered it, but why didn't they make any noise?

Also, there is a cordon around the tent. If a wild animal breaks in, the siren should have sounded long ago. It is impossible for me not to hear it. There is another doctor in the tent who should be able to hear it?

But it was very quiet outside and I didn't hear the voices of Aji and Roy, except for the puffing and puffing on the top of the tent.

Are they all asleep?

Impossible, the reason why the doctor arranged for two people to be on duty at night was because they were worried that they would fall asleep and lose their sense of defense.

Two people on duty at night can remind and take care of each other.

Jacques raised his wrist and looked at his luminous watch. It was only two o'clock in the morning, and he hadn't slept for long, it was only over an hour.He couldn't believe that Aggie and Roy fell asleep so soon.
