As the sun began to rise, Chen Cao and his team packed up their weapons and equipment after simple modifications. Chen Cao and Jared still held pistols for assault missions, Stannie's AK served as cover, and Carissa held pistols and Brenda
Responsible for logistics support tasks.
Before leaving, Chen Cao specifically told Stannie that unless he encountered a large-scale enemy, he must save bullets, because Stannie was now the only one holding a so-called heavy weapon.
In this way, a group of people walked deep into the jungle with the desire for wealth and life. No one knew what would be waiting for them, but it seemed that they had no way out.
Meimei is still lying on a hospital bed thousands of miles away, and what she needs is a large sum of money for surgery.
Stannie's fiancée is currently undergoing treatment in Mainz. If the treatment is completed, he will marry the elder's son. He must rush to get the money to redeem his fiancée.
Jared had no way out. He couldn't go back. Going back would mean death. Moreover, with Chen Cao's permission, he carried a gem with him, which gave him immense confidence. He firmly believed that as long as he had wealth,
Then everything will become beautiful.
The jungle was still so quiet. After marching for about two hours, Chen Cao signaled everyone to take a rest. It was so quiet here, as if it had been cleaned. There was not even a python hanging on the tree.
, let alone the indigenous people.
In fact, along the way, everyone's spirits have already collapsed. The thread that has been in a tight state for a long time will definitely break. It's okay if there is a battle. Everything seems to be quiet now, which seems very...
It's not about the taste. What happened here to make it so quiet? It doesn't look like a jungle, but more like a quiet hell that may swallow itself at any time.
Resting on the spot, Chen Cao waved to everyone.
Carissa quickly took out water supplies and other supplies from the cloth bag for everyone to share. Chen Cao asked him to take on the logistics support task, which was regarded as giving her a relatively competent task. She was originally born as a nurse.
"Here!" Carissa handed the simple bamboo tube filled with water to Chen Cao, blinking her blue eyes, intoxicated and charming, and her voice was full of charm.
Chen Cao quickly took the bamboo tube, turned around and drank. Looking at Chen Cao's avoidance, Carissa's eyes flashed with disappointment.
Stannie took a sip of water, swallowed it down his throat and said, "Hey, boss, we should go deep into the Jinji Jungle, but why is there no movement at all?"
Jared shook his head and said: "It's still early, but when I came in before, I never saw this jungle so quiet. It's really strange!"
Chen Cao wiped his mouth after drinking water with his sleeve: "I don't know, these natives are much more cunning than us, and they seem to know what we want, but I believe that once they appear, they will definitely come in groups.
of!"
When Chen Cao finished speaking, Jared nodded seriously. He was convinced of this because he had been there.
Stannie was a little frustrated: "But if we continue like this, there is no way. We will definitely be exhausted, and a lot of time will be wasted!"
Chen Cao paused, with a sly smile on his face: "Don't worry, in fact, I already knew they were spying on us secretly!" After saying that, he pointed to the airtight trees above his head!"
Oh? Stannie and the others immediately looked up involuntarily. It didn't matter. At first glance, the leaves actually shook slightly.
Chen Cao immediately raised his pistol, pointed it at the branches above his head, and said: "Come down, or I will shoot!" He originally wanted to pretend to talk to boost morale, but he didn't expect that there was actually something in the bushes. There is something.
Chen Cao spoke Mainz, and he knew that the other party could not understand him. He deliberately made a sound just to let the other party know that he was pointing a weapon at the other party. He thought that as long as the other party in the tree behaved a little bit, With this movement, he will blow off the opponent's head, and now the opponent is within the precise setting range of his pistol.
Not only Chen Cao, but also Jared and Stannie were holding weapons in their hands, pointing at the location where the leaves had just rustled.
"No... don't shoot... it's me!" A stammering voice suddenly came out from the jungle. It seemed that it had not broken away from the milky voice. Not to mention that what he spat out was the word "Mainz". From the meaning in his language, it is clear that he knows that his firearm can cause harm to him.
Chen Cao glanced back and forth in the woods, but the crosshair still couldn't fix the opponent's position. It was obvious that this guy's hiding position was extremely hidden.
"Put your head out first and don't move it, otherwise I will blow your head off, you know!" Chen Cao said deceitfully, holding up his pistol.
"Don't, don't shoot, I'll just come down!" Before he finished speaking, the leaves made a slight noise, and the head of a black-haired little boy appeared among the intricate branches and branches.
"It's you!" When Jared spoke, his teeth tightened and he clenched the gun in his hand, because the person who appeared was the little boy who lured him and Chen Cao into the trap set by the indigenous dwarfs and the indigenous harpooneers. .
"Don't move, slide down slowly!" Chen Cao knew that once Jared got angry, it would be difficult to control his emotions, so he shouted quickly while winking at Jared.
The little boy was obviously very suspicious of the three black muzzles and was hesitating.
Chen Cao said softly: "Don't be afraid, we won't do anything to you. Come down, we have food here!" After Chen Cao said that, he took out a piece of smoked dried meat from his pocket!"
"Okay!" As the leaves slid, the little boy quickly slid down from the big tree with extremely nimble movements.
Looking at the little boy's moving figure, Chen Cao immediately walked to the tree. When the other person's bare feet were about to hit the ground, he stretched out his hand as fast as lightning, pinched the boy's arm, and turned him over.
"Aha, you little bastard!" Seeing Chen Cao catch him, Jared rushed over and gave him a slap in the face.
The boy was immediately hit with stars in his eyes. With Jared's heavy slap on his thin neck, he threw his head aside and sniffed at the nosebleed that came out of his nose. He closed his eyes. He knew this. A slap is just the beginning, not the end yet.
"Jared, stop!" Chen Cao shouted to Jared who was about to raise his hand and direct his anger at the little boy.
Jared put down his hand angrily and looked at the prey, his eyes rolling around.
After Chen Cao stopped Jared, he turned the little boy over with gentle eyes, but grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the jerky is still yours, you just need to answer my question Is it a problem?"
The little boy wiped the nosebleed on his face with his hand without even looking at it. He seemed not to care about Jared's ambition. He stared blankly at Chen Cao, especially the tender meat in his hand.
Dry. His throat was shaking, and he kept swallowing saliva. Although he looked thirteen or fourteen years old, his fingers were pressed to his lips, like a hungry baby, and his eyes glowed with green light.
Chen Cao smiled slightly and tried to show his charitable feelings. He divided the dried meat into half and handed it to the little boy.
The little boy showed no restraint. Almost as soon as Chen Cao handed it to him, he snatched the dried meat and stuffed it into his mouth. It seemed that he didn't even bother to chew. He stretched his neck and swallowed it like a puppy.
After swallowing it, he looked at Chen Cao blankly and put his finger to his lips, as if begging for the other half of the dried meat in Chen Cao's hand.
However, Chen Cao did not pass the dried meat to him as he prayed. Instead, he smiled and did not speak, just looked at the little boy.
Both Stannie and Jared showed mocking expressions on their faces. Only Carissa couldn't bear it and said: "Chen, he is quite pitiful, give it to her!"
Chen Cao ignored Carissa, but smiled at the little boy and said: "Child, you should know the laws of the jungle. Maybe what I said is a bit profound, but you should understand that there is no such thing as getting something for nothing when you survive in the jungle.
, in order to get food, you must answer questions!”
When the little boy heard what Chen Cao said, he put down the fingers covering his lips and fiddled with his animal skin cloth for a while.
His actions attracted everyone's attention. Jared had even raised the barrel of the gun. At this time, he must remain vigilant.
Under the gaze of everyone, the little boy took out the object that made everyone excited - the animal bone necklace from the animal skin around his waist.
"diamond!"
Stannie held up the AK in his hand and cheered. If it weren't for Chen Cao's explicit order not to waste bullets, he would have put a shuttle in this useless place to celebrate. Jared hugged Brenda excitedly
burst into tears.
Carissa just raised her eyebrows and said nothing, just waiting to look at the necklace in the little boy's hand with her big blue eyes.
Chen Cao did not immediately take the animal bone necklace from the little boy's hand. Instead, he pointed at the little boy and made a twisting motion. He did not have too much doubts about this. He was anxious to snatch the dwarf from Jared.
I still have lingering fears about the poisoning caused by the animal bone necklace on the corpse. Sometimes these natives are more cunning than they seem.
The little boy was very smart and quickly understood Chen Cao's worries. He decisively picked up the necklace in his hand, then moved it to the relatively new tooth, and twisted it hard, and everyone's hearts tightened.
