The first thousand two hundred and fifty-five chapters
Chapter 1,255 The ghost still lingers
After looking at the watch on his wrist, Zhuang Rui broke out in a cold sweat. He actually slept for four or five hours, and during this period, he and Peng Fei were not harmed by animals.
"Ouch..."
Just when Zhuang Rui wanted to confirm whether he had been bitten by a snake or stung by a scorpion, King Kong's low roar came from under the tree, and he dared to see Zhuang Rui wake up.
"Brother Zhuang, why didn't you wake me up..."
King Kong's roar woke up Peng Fei in another tree. This guy was indeed very tired yesterday and slept longer than Zhuang Rui.
"Well, seeing that you sleep well, I'll let you sleep a little longer..."
Zhuang Rui's face turned red, and he was too embarrassed to say that he had fallen asleep. After using his spiritual energy to roam around his body and finding that there was no problem, Zhuang Rui climbed down from the tree.
"Brother Zhuang, you can't rush too much today. I was so tired yesterday. If anything happens, I won't be able to deal with it..."
After a night's rest, Peng Fei was in good spirits, but he still felt frightened when he thought of yesterday's rapid march. He was so tired that he almost lost the strength to climb a tree.
"Ouch!"
After hearing Peng Fei's words, King Kong immediately beat his chest at Peng Fei. If King Kong hadn't taken into account the friendship with Zhuang Rui, King Kong would have quietly slipped away early in the morning. How could he have waited until now?
"Eat something first, King Kong. There's no rush for this little effort anyway. Can you be a little patient..."
Zhuang Rui hit King Kong on the big head. Peng Fei, who was watching on the side, trembled in his heart. After experiencing King Kong's violent killing yesterday, Peng Fei could no longer distinguish King Kong from his previous harmless and honest appearance.
Are connected.
"Woooo..."
King Kong held his head and sobbed, made a few gesticulating gestures to Zhuang Rui, and then ran into the jungle next to him.
"Brother Zhuang, what is it going to do?" Peng Fei couldn't understand King Kong's body language.
"Going to hunt, he said he would let me cook a barbecue for it later..." Zhuang Rui said with a smile, got up and picked up some dead branches on the ground, preparing to light a bonfire.
There is no fear of fire in this kind of tropical rainforest. Due to the climate, the dead leaves on the ground are covered with moist rotten matter containing moisture, which is difficult to ignite.
About ten minutes later, Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei heard a roar and whine of animals in the distance at the same time. After waiting for a few more minutes, King Kong ran back with a leopard in one hand.
This is a jungle leopard. Its whole body is covered with brown and white stripes. Its fur is very beautiful. What is commendable is that this leopard has no scars on its body. It is just a dent in its skull. It was obviously killed by King Kong's punch.
of.
"Hey, I haven't eaten leopard meat yet, Peng Fei, I'll leave it to you, but if you peel off the leopard skin completely, take it back and nitrate it, it's a very good thing..."
Zhuang Rui threw the dead leopard to Peng Fei. He was not as skilled as Peng Fei in skinning it.
"What's so delicious about this thing? The meat is sour..."
Peng Fei curled his lips and continued: "Find a water source, otherwise there will be no way to peel and wash..."
"Ouch!" After King Kong heard Peng Fei's words, he grabbed the leopard's forelimbs and ran towards the forest.
"Go, follow..."
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei followed King Kong for about a kilometer. A water pool covering an area of about 20 to 30 meters appeared in front of them. Several small animals that were drinking water were frightened by Zhuang Rui's team and fled away.
open.
After witnessing King Kong's bravery yesterday, Zhuang Rui felt much less afraid of the forest. Apart from releasing his spiritual energy more than ten meters around him to guard against poisonous snakes, he was not as nervous as yesterday.
After Peng Fei skinned the leopard, Zhuang Rui found a big branch, strung it up and hung it on the bonfire. After roasting it, he cut some meat and tasted it. Sure enough, it was a bit sour, so he threw it all to King Kong to eat.
This guy didn't care whether it was sour or not. He chewed up a leopard weighing several dozen kilograms cleanly and threw the leopard's bones into the pool.
After the guy had eaten and drank enough, Zhuang Rui asked: "King Kong, how far is it?"
He and Peng Fei broke into the forest privately. People outside would be very anxious. Zhuang Rui also wanted to find the gorilla population quickly and then return to the company's base. Calculating the time, it was not long after two months. Song Jun
It's time for Fatty Hema to take over.
"Ouch..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, King Kong stood up and pointed in a direction, then waved his arms, looking very excited.
"Let's go, there are still dozens of kilometers to go, try to get there at night..."
Zhuang Rui stood up as he spoke, but just after he carried the huge supply package, his expression suddenly changed.
"Brother Zhuang, what's wrong?"
"It seems that someone has entered this forest. I feel very bad. Peng Fei, is there a way to eliminate all traces of our stay??"
Zhuang Rui's face looked ugly, because when he used to release his spiritual energy just now, he discovered that there were more than ten humanoid creatures on the way they came before, walking along the road opened by King Kong.
Zhuang Rui certainly wouldn't think that the team was a group of gorillas on an outing, and judging from the weapons they carried, these people were not scientists with eyes on the African jungle. After ruling out this possibility, then this group of people was not anti-government.
The army is a terrorist.
"Is there anyone?"
Peng Fei's expression became serious after hearing this, and he followed King Kong into the forest. Those so-called pythons and beasts were no longer a threat. The only ones that could pose a threat to him and Zhuang Rui now were humans.
As for Zhuang Rui's "feeling", Peng Fei had already been subtly convinced of it. Zhuang Rui said that if he didn't feel good, there would definitely be danger.
"Brother Zhuang, the traces of the two of us can be eliminated, but King Kong's..."
When Peng Fei said this, he glanced at King Kong with some embarrassment. This guy was too big. When he walked through the forest, it was like a steamroller passing by. The traces could not be removed no matter what.
After Zhuang Rui thought for a while, he said: "Let's do this. First, eliminate the traces of the two of us. When we turn around, King Kong walks from the tree. We can't let anyone hang behind us..."
Although he didn't know the identity of the people who came after him, there were eighteen of them. If they caught up and caused a conflict, Zhuang Rui didn't think that one versus a hundred King Kong could deal with humans armed with modern weapons.
Fortunately, after entering the depths of the forest, basically no humans have set foot here for hundreds or thousands of years. The trees are extremely thick and tall. King Kong walks through the trees without breaking the entire tree like before.
On the ground, Zhuang Rui walked in front, while Peng Fei followed behind to eliminate their footprints, but in this way, their moving speed was much slower.
However, the people behind seemed to have some scruples, and as the forest was full of dangers, they didn't move very fast. It took three or four hours before they arrived at the place where Zhuang Rui and others were having a barbecue.
In the meantime, there was another heavy rain in the forest. The rainwater flowed from the tree trunks to the ground, washing away all the traces that Peng Fei had not cleaned up.
…
Next to the water pool where Zhuang Rui and others once stayed, a team wearing raincoats gathered. There were sentries within fifty meters around the team. Now these people have received professional training.
"David, those two people and the gorilla have lost their traces. I think... they are probably scientific expedition personnel from some country? Apart from them, I'm afraid no one can get in touch with and photograph the gorilla at such a close distance.
Already..."
While tracking the gorilla yesterday, Markram was surprised to find that there were two human footprints behind the gorilla, which made them even more shocked.
They made a lot of guesses along the way, the most reliable of which was what Markram just said. You know, in this birthplace and the last paradise of gorillas, there are many scientists.
I have been conducting follow-up research on it for more than ten or twenty years.
Since these scientists are not involved in politics and have national backgrounds, generally speaking, the tribes and anti-government forces in the Central African forests are relatively friendly to them.
Kidnapping these "poor people" would bring them a lot of trouble. Even the terrorists were too lazy to deal with them. So after analyzing them, Markram once wanted to give up tracking them.
It's just that the direction pointed on the map is consistent with the direction of the gorilla's movement, so Markram's team has always maintained the same direction as the two people and one animal in front of them. However, after the heavy rain, the two people and one animal were moving in the same direction.
All the beasts have disappeared.
After hearing Markram's analysis, David said: "Ram, let's forget it. Let's just go find the treasure. There is no need to fight with a beast..."
To be honest, the bloody scene yesterday scared David a lot. He was always on tenterhooks all the way. But now that the trace of the beast was gone, David felt relieved.
After resting by the waterhole for more than an hour, this group of "explorers" continued their treasure hunt according to the guidance of the map.
The day passed quickly, and the forest was shrouded in darkness. Various animals that foraged for food in the evening or late at night came out of their nests one after another. Compared to the silence during the day, the forest was more lively at night.
Both Zhuang Rui and others in front and the adventurers behind them all stopped at the same time. They did not want to become the targets of the jungle killers.
Peng Fei quickly climbed to a big tree more than ten meters high, and said to Zhuang Rui, who was wearing camouflage uniforms and seemed to be integrated with the big tree: "Brother Zhuang, someone is really catching up with me. I only saw the one in front of me."
Scouts, there will probably be no less than ten people behind..."
"Damn, the ghost is still here..."
Zhuang Rui was also a little angry. He didn't know how the other party could identify his route. Even a heavy rain could not make them lose their way.
