Indiana Jones

Chapter 118 The Smoky Jungle (03)

It’s really appropriate to use the word “difficult to move forward” to describe their current state. They have no physical strength, the road is difficult to walk, the weather is hot and humid, the environment is harsh, swarms of mosquitoes, flies and leeches are wandering around, poisonous snakes are infested, beasts are rampant, everything The factors mixed together tortured their bodies and minds. If they hadn't seized some anti-mosquito equipment before, they would have been bitten all over their faces by now.

"There seem to be more mosquitoes here than other places!" Ma Zhong grabbed his arm vigorously, and the mosquitoes actually sucked his blood through his clothes.

"There may be a pool or ditch nearby." Si Xuanyi said.

"It's also bigger than before." Ma Zhong spread out his hand, and on it was a big black mosquito, two centimeters in size, which was full, and his hand was covered in blood when he slapped it.

"It's not small." Li Siming also scratched his itch.

"There are more grass ticks than other places." Liang Rong shook off the bugs that crawled on her body.

"We haven't heard the devil's gunshots for a long time. Is this place cleaner than other places?" Ma Zhong asked.

"In a dream, gunshots can't be heard far away in such a dense forest." Si Xuanyi said.

"Do you think the devil has a radio station?" Li Siming asked suddenly.

All of a sudden everyone was quiet. They never thought about this issue, maybe because they didn't have this thing from the beginning, and they didn't think about contacting the team, so they ignored it.

"Does it matter to us?" Li Siming was the first to react, "Even if it is there, we don't need to seize it. Even if it is captured, no one will use it. Even if it is used, we have no contact."

This is true, they didn't plan to ask for help, so there was no need to care about this issue.

"There must be, otherwise they wouldn't increase their troops so accurately." Rhodes said, "If we are lucky enough to capture that thing, we can ask for help."

"I don't believe that troops will be sent to this place just because of us." Ma Zhong felt that Rhodes was a bit whimsical.

Indeed, there are only five of them, and their identities are just ordinary soldiers. It sounds good, but they are deserters. Although they have never admitted it, they have been doing it all the time, so it is impossible for them A deserter mobilizes the army.

It's still the same problem, they don't know the reason for the devil's visit. Although they guessed that it was for the jade seal in Li Siming's bag, this is still a guess after all, and it has never been confirmed. Of course, they don't think a jade seal can be so attractive , can make the devil so inspiring.

At noon, the hottest time of the day, they had gone deep into the smoky jungle, and the smog was getting bigger and bigger. They couldn't figure out what these foggy things floating in the air were, but they didn't What a strange feeling, so they judged that this should not be the legendary miasma. The smoke was similar to the morning fog they experienced before. The concentration was so high that it could not be seen a few meters away. It does not prevent them from climbing to the top of the tree to correct their direction.

"The direction is correct." Li Siming got down from the tree. "The strange thing is that there is no smoke below at all from above. There are smoke columns in the other three directions. The nearest one is only two kilometers away from us. It is in the northwest direction. It may be a devil."

"I don't know how many devils are here." Si Xuanyi said in a low voice.

"There must be a lot of them." Rhode's mental state is still very bad, "But it's okay, as long as there are no devils on our way forward, the forest is dense, so it's not so easy to meet, but our progress is indeed a lot slower."

"The progress of the devils will not be too fast. We have encountered so many troubles and I believe they will not be too easy. Therefore, it is necessary to speed up the progress under the conditions within our ability, but it is not so easy for the devils to catch up with us." Liang Liang Rong said.

Rhodes nodded, expressing that he agrees with her point of view: "But we still can't be too careless, the jungle is more threatening than devils."

"Well, you're right, let's go." Si Xuanyi stood up.

"Let's go? Can you rest for a while?" Ma Zhong said with a bitter face. It was fine to hold on before, but once he stopped, he didn't want to move anymore.

Rhodes looked at the others: "Take a break for 15 minutes."

Li Siming put down the foot that was going to kick Ma Zhong, cursed in a low voice and sat on the other side. He looked down on Ma Zhong very much.

Liang Rong also breathed a sigh of relief. She was also very tired and wanted to rest, but she never asked for it.

Ma Zhong lay on the ground as relieved, the soft leaves are still very comfortable. Although the smell is not very good, but now is not the time to worry about it. Although the ground is full of leeches, he really does not want to get up. He is too tired. He didn't even bother to move his fingers. He watched the leech climb up his body and get into his clothes before he reluctantly slapped it off.

A mosquito landed on his chest, Ma Zhong exhaled, he was really too lazy to move, at first he didn't want to care about it, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he woke up, this mosquito was indeed something wrong, it was too big , that head is no shorter than his middle finger, it is black all over, and you can even see the thin black hair on its body, and its long mouth is almost as long as the awl on the sole of his wife's shoe. When Ma Zhong was shocked, he cried It hurts in the chest. Its stomach is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and you can even see the dark red blood inside...

"Day..." Ma Zhong slapped down, the mosquito was flattened, blood splashed from his fingers, and the mosquito in his hand was still twitching when he got up from the ground.

"It's fine, it's fine..." Ma Zhong said while shaking his hands.

"This mosquito is really big." Li Siming also slapped one to death.

"There are more." Si Xuanyi waved the branch in his hand, there were at least five or six mosquitoes circling around him.

"You can't stay anymore, let's go." Rhodes also jumped up, he had already been bitten several times.

Only then did they realize that something was wrong, and more mosquitoes came out of the smoke and rushed towards them.

"Let's go..." Li Siming tore off a branch and beat it, but he still couldn't drive away the mosquitoes. Several of them landed on his arms, legs, and legs. These big mosquitoes are really powerful, and they can insert their mouths into the flesh almost as soon as they land. Li started to suck blood, without even a process, it was too arrogant.

A few people started to flee in embarrassment, but how could it be as fast as the mosquitoes flying in the air?Soon they heard a sound of "buzzing..." coming from all directions, and the army of mosquitoes really caught up.

"It's over now..." Ma Zhong felt a stabbing pain on his back, and he didn't need to look to know that he must have been bitten through his clothes by several mosquitoes...
