Chapter 230 [Human Taste]

Chapter 220 Four [Human Flavor]

There were only more than 40 people left in the team that rushed out of the camp, including the ability users.

Chen Nuo and the sea monster walked at the front of the team to open the way, opening a walkable passage in the vast fog.

Chen Nuo was very cautious. The air flow created by the released mental power just opened up a space of about ten meters wide in the front direction, which was enough for the team to move forward and pass before the fog reintegrated.

Bonfrey was at the end of the line, while Golden Bird and Grey Cat Blake took the initiative to fill the gap in the middle of the line.If someone falls behind during the walk, or the speed of the fog fusion is too fast when passing, the two will be responsible for making up for it.

The team is undoubtedly embarrassed.Although the mercenaries who performed military tasks all year round did not throw away their firearms, the materials they brought out were pitiful.

All ammo boxes are lost!All material boxes are lost!
A small amount of fresh water, a small amount of food.

Vanel's face has always been ugly. Not only is he alert to the unknown dangers in the foggy jungle, but more importantly, all the equipment has not been brought out.

Especially satellite communication equipment!

It is impossible to disassemble and pack the equipment in a hasty few minutes of escape time.

Varnell only had time to bring out two satellite phones.

Chen Nuo and the sea monster made an appointment, and everyone insisted on taking turns after half an hour.

When Chen Nuo took the second rotation, he saw that Ryoko Sato had quietly followed him near him.

Then, Chen Nuo saw someone unexpectedly.

That... Aboriginal guide!
This guy actually ran out alive and followed the team.Chen Nuo was a little surprised.

Before the chaos in the camp, those mercenaries were only concerned with protecting themselves. If it wasn't for Vanel's forced suppression and Selena's strict orders, these guys wouldn't even want to bring the unconscious professor and the captured sniper.

The aboriginal guide was lean and had a person on his back - Chen Nuo glanced at it and recognized it as his brother whose "soul was taken away by the devil".

The one found in the pit.

This aboriginal guide seemed to be consciously approaching Chen Nuo, carrying a person on his back, but consciously or unintentionally, he tried his best to get close to Chen Nuo in the team.And from time to time, he will carefully look for Chen Nuo's position with his eyes to ensure that Chen Nuo is always within his line of sight.

Walking in the jungle was very hard, and there were still wounded in the team.

In the first hour, everyone was still gritting their teeth, but after a long time, many injured people began to slow down, and the mercenaries were still affectionate to their companions. Soon, the injured people were treated by their companions in their usual relationship. The better people helped advance, and some mercenaries took out knives to chop down the trees along the way, and used sticks as crutches.

But even so, the team's speed in front of the team slowed down.

"You can't go this way! You have to slow down!" Vanel ran to the front to remind Chen Nuo and the sea monster, he said solemnly: "Our team is getting longer and longer! There were a few times just now that it was too slow to pass. , the fog on both sides merged, if it wasn't for Bonfrey and the others behind to disperse the fog, I'm afraid there would be a problem! We must slow down!"

Before Chen Nuo could speak, the sea monster said coldly: "God knows how big the area of ​​this fog is! Slow down, Harvey and I will consume more power, if we use up our power before we run out. If you can't get out of this fog, everyone will die here!"

The air is humid and muggy!
Above the head is the canopy of dense rainforest trees, as if covering the sky... In the dense canopy that seems to be impermeable, there is a faint mist of mist.

Before, Varnell tried to climb a big tree to find a high point and observe the terrain, but was quickly suppressed by the empty red fog.

The sea monster was still moving fast. Chen Nuo saw that the queue behind him was indeed getting longer and longer, and it was obvious that some people could not keep up.

He sighed and walked over to the sea monster: "Change me."

The sea monster glanced at Chen Nuo: "It's not time yet."

Chen Nuo smiled lightly: "Here it is."

"..." The sea monster stared at Chen Nuo, then frowned: "Okay."

He immediately withdrew the mental power that controlled the flow of air, and then retreated behind Chen Nuo.

After Chen Nuo took over the position of the sea monster, he continued to walk, but obviously, his pace slowed down.

"... give you a drink."

Ryoko Sato handed a kettle beside him.

Chen Nuo glanced at it and said coldly, "Drink it yourself, I have water."

Sato Ryoko's face was a little stiff, but he still whispered: "I didn't poison!"

"I said, I have water myself." Chen Nuo shook his head.

"Your water bottle was given to a wounded person a while ago, I saw it." Sato Ryoko shook his head.

Chen Nuo glanced at the RB woman while walking. Sato Ryoko took the kettle and took two sips by himself, then handed it to Chen Nuo again: "Relax?"

Chen Nuo frowned, but this time he took the kettle.

After a few sips of water, Chen Nuo felt relieved that his dry throat was soaked with cool water.

Walking in the humid and sultry rainforest is indeed very exhausting, and it also consumes a lot of water from the human body.

There is not much water in the team now. When they escaped in a hurry, everyone can only carry a water bottle with them, but the large tank of fresh water must not be brought out.

As for the water purification equipment, not to mention.

Therefore, although Chen Nuo's face still seems to be very calm, he actually understands it very well in his heart!
Up to two more hours!
If we can't get out of this red fog, this team will be severely reduced!
The first wave of predicament is that some seriously injured wounded must be abandoned!
·
However, the accident still happened!

The team encountered a quagmire in the forward direction.Probably when it rained before, a low-lying place became a depression.

When passing by, it turned into a muddy and shallow pond. When stepping on it, the deepest water just engulfed people's ankles.

After Chen Nuo and the sea monster checked to make sure that it was not a mud pond that could swallow no one, they led the team through.

However, when the team passed halfway through, suddenly there was gunshots coming from the back of the team!

Chen Nuo immediately turned around and ran back!

Someone died!

When an unlucky mercenary walked through the mud, he alerted an anaconda dormant in the mud!
This taupe-skinned anaconda hibernated in the mud, avoiding the sight of the mercenaries well, and then attacked a mercenary.

This unlucky guy was quickly rolled into a ball by the anaconda, and then screamed and struggled. The surrounding mercenaries went up to try to tear it apart, but the curling strength of an adult anaconda was enough to break the bones of an adult body!

Finally when the mercenaries finally shoot...

After the team was flustered for a while, the dead anaconda still maintained the posture of curling the mercenary. When the companions struggled to drag this guy out, there was only a faint breath left. .

He didn't know how many bones were broken, and he didn't even have much strength left to scream.

"There's no help." The aboriginal guide who followed Chen Nuo glanced at it, muttered this in a low voice, then shook his head and walked away with his brother on his back.

If it is normal, such a serious injury, and quickly send it back for careful treatment, there is still some hope.

but now……

A few mercenaries probably had a good relationship with this unlucky guy, and some people tried to propose a stretcher to carry him away.

Varnell came over to take a look, but suddenly thought of something, shook his head and walked away.

At this time, it is not a smart move to stop these mercenaries whose minds are filled with fear, anger, anxiety, and sadness.

Chen Nuo returned to the front of the team and continued to move forward.

Half an hour later, Sato Ryoko came to Chen Nuo's side and whispered, "That person... is dead."

"Ah."

"His friend wanted to dig a hole to bury the body."

"Ah."

"But it was stopped. Selena said we didn't have time to stop."

"Ah."

"Mr. Harvey." Sato Ryoko whispered, "Can we get out of this thick fog?"

Chen Nuo then glanced at the woman: "If you have the strength to speak, why not open the way for me and let me rest for a while."

"……it is good."

Opening a circuit is a technical job.

First of all, manipulating the airflow to disperse the fog is a job that tests the fineness of the control of mental power.

The strength is too small, the width of the passage is not enough, and the people who pass through will soon face the fusion of fog on both sides.

The strength is too strong... Then it is a waste of strength, and it will not last long.

Moreover, while driving the road, it is also responsible for determining the direction of travel, so as not to get lost or go around in circles in the jungle.

Inexperienced people, if they don't know how to identify the direction, walk in a vast jungle, it is easy to walk out of a circle, and after a long distance, they finally come back.

This is the so-called ghost hit the wall.

This is also the reason why Chen Nuo is very close to the aboriginal guide, but he is happy to see it. Along the way, he will chat with the aboriginal guide from time to time and determine the direction at the same time.

In this rainforest, no mercenary with a wild survival experience can compare to the natives who have lived in the rainforest all their lives!

However, after Sato Ryoko succeeded Chen Nuo, she actually did a good job.

Chen Nuo followed Sato Ryoko calmly, and at the same time helped her to avoid the thick fog around her, and suddenly a dangerous beast or something appeared from her face.

In his heart, however, the assessment of Sato Ryoko's strength has reached another level.

Ryoko Sato replaced Chen Nuo to open the way and persisted for about half an hour.Chen Nuo quickly replaced her.

Ryoko Sato seems to have spare power, but Chen Nuo does not intend to forcibly squeeze this woman - at present, it seems that in this team, the person who shows the greatest kindness to himself is Ryoko Sato!

It is a wise move to leave a companion who has the strongest goodwill towards you and preserve your strength.

After Chen Nuo persisted for another half an hour, he changed to the sea monster again.

At this time, nearly three hours have passed since the escape from the camp!

"I have to stop and rest!" Vanel ran over, reminding Chen Nuo and the others with an ugly face.

The guy's clothes were soaked with sweat - it was too hot and humid to sweat.

His face also felt greasy, but his lips were a little dry, obviously the consumption of water was very large.

"Someone in the back can't hold on anymore, we have to stop and rest."

"Then we can only give up the seriously injured person." The sea monster still coldly refused: "We can't stop!"

Vanel's face sank: "Mr. Kraken! Now I'm in command!"

The sea monster's face is also not good-looking: "Then you should be more aware of the current situation!"

"Okay!" Chen Nuo said, "No need to argue."

He glanced at the sea monster: "Stop and rest, 5 minutes!"

"..." The sea monster frowned at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo sighed: "During the 5 minutes of rest, I will maintain the energy consumption."

The sea monster sneered: "Mr. Bigfoot, when did you become such a benevolent person?"

Chen Nuo shook his head and glanced at the sea monster: "These mercenaries... we need them!"

The sea monster finally stopped talking, shook his head and walked away, found a place to sit next to him, and closed his eyes to rest.

The team finally stopped to rest.

Although only a short 5 minutes.

Chen Nuo released his mental power tentacles, expanding in all directions, manipulating the air flow, constantly dispelling the surrounding fog, and carefully supporting the team with a safe "enchantment".

Everyone in the team had exhaustion and frustration written all over their faces.

The water has almost been drunk.

Some mercenaries already use a water bottle in turn, and they are consciously saving water. A water bottle is distributed among several people in turn, and everyone can only drink a small sip.

During the break, another seriously wounded person died in the team... It was during the beast attack, this unlucky guy was pounced on by a jaguar, and the rib on his chest was broken.

Apparently the rib had poked into the internal organs, causing internal bleeding. He persisted until this moment, and finally died.

Exhaustion, thirst, fear, coupled with the death of the companion, the morale of the team fell to the bottom!
·
During the break, several capable people gathered together, and right next to Chen Nuo, six people stood in a circle and began to discuss spontaneously.

"We've got to figure out a way, we can't go on like this," Bonfrey said first.

Chen Nuo glanced at this guy and found that the gray cat Blake and the golden bird, and the sea monster did not speak.

He immediately understood that these guys seemed to have already discussed it.

"If we go by ourselves, with our ability, we can evacuate while dispelling the dense fog, and... the speed will be much faster by taking these ordinary people's teams!"

"Yes, then there is a high chance of us running out of this foggy area!"

"If this goes on, we will be dragged down by these ordinary people!"

"Varnell can take it away! He is the octopus monster... We take him away, even if we have an explanation for the octopus monster."

"agree."

Listening to these icy conversations, Chen Nuo had no expression on his face.

"So what do you mean? Harvey?" Bonfrey finally asked Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo thought for a while and said slowly, "Are you sure, if you abandon these mercenaries, you can go out on your own?"

"Of course, our strength is now spent on protecting them," the gray cat said lightly.

"So, do you think that these mercenaries are ordinary people, and now they have become a burden?"

"Yes."

Chen Nuo sighed: "Gentlemen, I don't deny that what you said is reasonable, but have you ever thought about it, what is the force behind this strange dense fog?
I don't think it's a creation of nature!

And, while I'm not a science expert, I'm not a rainforest climate expert.

But I have never heard of this devil-like red fog in the Amazon rainforest!

It can make a person inhale the mist and become a killing madman - this kind of mist, I have never heard of it!

We are facing an opponent who is still lurking behind the scenes to this day, and the opponent must also have extraordinary abilities! "

"The point, Mr. Harvey!" The sea monster interrupted Chen Nuo coldly.

"My focus is very simple, I think we still need these mercenaries."

"Need? Do we need them to be a burden to us?" Golden Bird muttered dissatisfied.

Bonfrey sighed: "Harvey! I don't know what you think... Maybe we needed these mercenaries before.

But you know very well, we all know a little bit!
They are just ordinary people!In this team, we needed these mercenaries before, in order to carry out this entrusted mission, we need these people as means of transportation, we need these people to help us explore the way, help us build camps, and help us transport materials and supplies.

Even if it's a normal search, these people can help us do a lot of work and explore a lot of areas.

But in the end, they are just a bunch of coolies!A bunch of tools!
Really, when it comes to fighting...they're just ordinary people!Can't help us at all!
And now, their role has little value, and we don't need those.At a dangerous juncture, we no longer need to carry on this hellish commission!Our first goal now is to keep ourselves safe first! "

Chen Nuo did not refute Bonfrey's words.

He admits that what Bonfrey said was a bastard...but it was true.

But Chen Nuo still does not agree with this view.

It's not that Chen Yanluo is too soft-hearted, and it's not that Chen Yanluo is too virgin white lotus.

But...

Even in his previous life, Chen Nuo formed his own small team with his own people, and led a group of mentally ill children to form the Yama gang.

He is rarely willing to deal with other power organizations, and even apart from his own team, he does not have a friend with powers in the underground world!
It is because he always feels that most of these power users may be outstanding in strength, or have amazing abilities and talents...

But there was something missing from these people, quite a few of them.

Human!
·
Human beings are human beings and human beings are a civilization.

There is actually a very interesting story about archaeology.

This story is about civilization.

Among the remains of an excavation, the remains of an ancient human being were found, including a thigh bone.

After the archaeologists judged, they found that the thigh bone was broken once and then slowly healed.

In ancient times, human beings lived by hunting and gathering, and their productivity was extremely backward.

A person with a broken thigh bone must have lost all productive capacity.But such a person can slowly heal and recover after being seriously injured... This can only prove one thing: this person was taken care of by his companions and survived until he recovered!

Know how to take care of the weak and sick in the group!
This is the biggest difference between humans and beasts!

This is... civilization! !

·
Many so-called superiors, or many people with supernatural abilities, have gradually begun to act in another way of thinking because of their own abilities...

They gradually began to treat ordinary people not as their own kind, but as...

Ants, leeks, tools, cannon fodder...

Chen Nuo didn't like to deal with such people in his previous life or in this life.

Because no one smells!
·
The argument was quickly over - in fact Chen Nuo didn't argue with them at all.

Several capable people saw that Chen Nuo did not object, but they also felt Chen Nuo's disapproval.

At the end of the conversation, the sea monster made a decision on behalf of other abilities.

"Up to tonight! Harvey! This is the consensus of several of us.

By tonight at the most, if we can't get out of this thick fog, we'll be leaving on our own.

At that time, you can choose whether you want to go with us or stay in this team as a nanny.

Saved for tonight, our last respect for the Octopus. "

Chen Nuo didn't say anything.

After the break, the team started again.

A short 5-minute break, in the midst of procrastination, actually stayed for about 10 minutes.

This time, the sea monsters did not rush and fret, but looked coldly at the slow movements of the mercenaries who were either exhausted or injured.

When Selena scolded the slow-moving mercenary, Bonfrey and the others just stood on the sidelines with their arms in their arms and did not speak.

·
It's not far from dark.

In the dense foggy jungle, looking around, the sky, in all directions, is the kind of crimson fog.

After seeing this color for a long time, it will really make people tired, and the heart will become more and more irritable.

The ordinary mercenaries in the team did not know that the backbone of the team had already made a decision. If they could not get out of the fog when it was dark, they would abandon them.

When the mercenaries were on their way, occasionally in the team, one could see a mercenary taking out a cross hanging around his neck and kissing, silently praying for God's blessing.

It may be that God actually hears this prayer...

after an hour……

"We're out!!!!"

There is a clear river in front of it, the river is rushing, and the other side is still a dense rainforest jungle.

Looking around, it is green and lush.

And the fog behind him has gradually faded away!Looking around, the front is already green!
This strange red fog has finally come out!
A few excited mercenaries ran to the front of the team with all their might, fluttered to the side of the stream, and then knelt on the ground and howled up to the sky.
