Yang Chen uprooted a shrub and waved it against the grass, sweeping away the soil to drive away the snakes. This was very effective, a hundred times more powerful than killing them one by one.
People from Arctic Fox joined this human-snake war one after another.
"Quickly move!" Yang Chen led his men to suppress the dense group of snakes and retreated to the ridge. As the group retreated further and further away from the dense meadow in the valley, the snake group stopped pursuing them.
"My bag...."
When she was attacked by a swarm of snakes, Jessica dropped her backpack in a panic and dodged. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that there was something very important in the bag, so she went back to pick it up without thinking. Cornali had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed her, wondering.
Why does the cautious Jessica not understand the importance of things in critical moments?
Is your bag more important than your life?
Confused and puzzled, Cornali had no time to think too much and dragged the reluctant Jessica away with the others. Jessica was just dragged away, and her backpack and more than a dozen corpses were left on the meadow.
In the middle of the night, with the moon high and the stars dimmed, a mysterious helicopter flew over from the sea. In the back seat of the cabin, two people stood with their heads bent together and looked at something like a tablet. On the screen, a red dot kept flashing, guiding the helicopter to take off.
airplane.
"Do you need to report to the headquarters first?"
"Nothing has been determined, what to report?"
"She turned on the locator but didn't answer the phone. There must be something wrong."
"No rush, let's go down and take a look first."
"Okay, it's up to you."
After the two reached an agreement, they ordered the pilot to prepare for landing. The helicopter, which included four pilots, circled for a week over the dead meadow and then slowly landed on a flat spot on the meadow, not far from Jessica's left backpack.
Twenty meters.
"I'm going to do something for you first." The man in black who was the first to jump out of the cabin said and walked seven or eight meters deeper into the meadow. He unbuttoned his pants, took out the bird, peed, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Be careful of snakes biting your dick..." the man in black's companion joked, turned on the flashlight, looked around, and couldn't help but be stunned. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the meadow, swaying in the night and sea breeze.
Under the cover of wormwood, it is difficult to find it without looking carefully with a flashlight.
The man who felt something was wrong was about to call out to his companion who was peeing, but his companion screamed in terror, which made his hair stand on end. He turned around and saw his companion stumbling back.
He subconsciously took out his gun and ran towards his companion. When he got there, he saw clearly what was happening. In response to his unintentional words, his companion's bird was bitten by a snake.
"Don't move, I'll shoot it!"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the back half of the snake, pulled it upright, put his pistol against the snake's seven inches, and pulled the trigger. At that moment, his companion stumbled half a step forward, shot the snake's head to pieces, and in the process destroyed his companion's lifeblood.
son.
The man in black, who was hit hard one after another, howled miserably, covered his crotch and fell down, shooting. The man was stunned. The man in black staggered half a step forward... because his butt was also bitten by a snake.
There are snakes in the grass, not just one or two.
The man with the gun realized how critical the situation was. He was so frightened that he didn't care about his companions and wanted to escape. Unfortunately, it was too late. The sound of snakes rustling in the grass was rapidly approaching from all directions.
The man with the gun only ran two steps, and just like the man in black, he fell to the ground in pain, rolling around and screaming. A few meters away, the helicopter pilot opened the door and looked around in confusion and horror, wondering what terrible thing had happened.
But knowing that the danger was coming, he quickly turned his head back and controlled the plane to take off.
The helicopter took off and returned the same way.
The pilot forgot to close the rear seat sliding door, and did not notice several snakes hanging from the bottom bracket of the fuselage.
……………………
In the open space surrounded by the cannibal treehouses, a bonfire burned brightly. The people sitting around the bonfire ate in silence, and the atmosphere was depressing. During the day, sixteen people died in the human-snake battle, and none of the four women who accompanied them were spared.
Jessica, whose ankle was bitten by a venomous snake, died on the way.
Before Jessica died, she said sorry to her teacher Conali.
Connery, who was extremely sad, did not think about why Jessica expressed her apology before her death. As the only survivor of the expedition, he was deeply guilty and sad.
So many people died because of him, and he couldn't let go.
"Actually, it's my fault for what happened today." Hai Long blamed himself. During the day, a few minutes before the snakes appeared, the three women outside the cave repeatedly praised the beauty of the valley meadow, and couldn't help but walk inside, which annoyed the natives.
He dragged them forcefully and blocked them rudely. It was he who encouraged the natives and caused disaster.
Death Valley.
Jedi on Devil's Island.
Recorded in Columbus's logbook.
Before the incident, Hai Long never imagined that Death Valley was so close.
Yang Chen, who already understood the cause, did not blame Hai Long and ate the dry food silently. As long as he was safe and sound, it didn't matter how many others... died. Moreover, the people in Conali were all potential leakers, so it was best if they died.
Only the dead can keep secrets.
In the dead of night, with a heavy heart, Conali quietly returned to his tent to rest.
"Boss, do you need..." Long San raised his hand to wipe his neck and glanced coldly at Conali's tent. His desire to kill people and silence them to avoid future troubles was palpable.
"Let's talk about it later..."
Yang Chen did not comment, stood up and walked towards the tent.
Long San, Hai Long looked at each other in understanding, and nodded slowly. It was their duty to share the worries of the leader, even if they were severely punished afterwards, they would not hesitate.
The next day, Conali, who had stayed up all night, took Yang Chen aboard the boat he rented. The black sailor from Kenya lifted anchor and set sail, sailing a small half circle around the island to reach the predetermined location.
The coast at the southern end of the island is full of cliffs.
On the calm sea, the expedition ship converted from a small cargo ship stopped, and the sailors controlled the boom to slowly lower the mini-submarine into the sea.
Conali piloted the submarine himself, with Hailong as his deputy.
On the ship, Yang Chen stared at the sinking submarine. This two-man operated submarine can sink five hundred meters, with a maximum speed of ten knots and almost twenty kilometers per hour. Its performance should be able to meet the detection plan.
"Boss, do you think the Germans would blow up the underwater passage when they saw that they were about to be defeated?" Long San asked Yang Chen in a low voice.
Yang Chen looked sideways at the cliffs at the southern end of the island a mile away, and said quietly: "For both public and private purposes... they will not destroy the passage. This is human nature."
Long San nodded thoughtfully.
The black sailors didn't understand what Yang Chen and the others were doing, so they didn't ask any questions. They just took their own money and did what they had to do. This was their principle.
Waiting is always very long.
Even three to five minutes can make people feel extremely tortured.
Yang Chen waited for three hours. If it had been someone else, he would have been like an ant on a hot pot. This guy remained calm. Long San and others were also extremely calm, but... when the submarine broke out of the water not far away,
, they still showed relieved smiles, not worried at all, impossible.
The submarine approached the ship, opened the hatch cover, and Hailong came out. He raised his hand and made a victory gesture to Yang Chen. Yang Chen smiled and nodded in response.
"Dr. Conali seemed to have a heart attack when we returned and died." Hai Long's first words after boarding the ship made Yang Chen's expression change.
