Chapter 286 56 Song Wan Should Not Be Easy to Pursue

Chapter 286 56. Song Wan should not be easy to chase

The swamp area has a complex environment. The river is full of tangled rainforest plants, and there is water mist blocking the view. There are often broken branches and broken trees that appear suddenly, making it difficult to guard against.

Wow.

The raft turned left rapidly.

A thick and long broken wood suddenly pierced out of the rainforest, and the broken end was hideous and sharp, piercing everyone. If Zheng Yun had not dodged this time, everyone on the boat would be at risk of being stabbed.

"The river is slowly narrowing."

"The environment is getting more and more dangerous."

Song Wan turned her head to the side, and as the raft bypassed the broken wood, the whole picture of the broken wood appeared behind her.

In the thick water mist, the slender and sharp black trunk was like the mast at the front of a pirate ship, hanging above the river and piercing downstream. It was hazy and unclear beyond ten meters.

There were also vines hanging loosely on the broken wood, and the black color was like a half-rotten human intestine.

Not only these plants.

The closer they got to the No. 2 Ancient City District, the shallower the river became, and the color of the plants on both sides became darker and darker, hanging in the depths of the white fog, like a demon river with human skin hanging in a cave.

Occasionally, there were one or two wooden coffins.

Stuck under the trees along the river.

It looked so weird that it made people's hair stand on end.

"We'll be there soon."

Zheng Yun breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Song Wan. The raft had been going upstream for two hours and was about to reach the end.

This section of the road was a difficult trek, with rotten trees blocking the road, the river being blocked, a sudden waterfall, and the river being cut off.

The further they went.

The more signs of trouble there were.

All the plants on both sides of the river were pitch black, not because the plants themselves were black, but because they were stained black by the silt. A large number of wooden coffins were also found in the river along the way.

Fortunately, they were there soon.

There were only more than 300 meters left to the end.

"There is new news in Group 1. The rescue helicopter of the camp has arrived nearby. The team sent by the archaeological team of Fuen City took the land route but got stuck halfway..."

Song Wan read the message on Zheng Yun's phone.

Her orange-yellow life jacket was covered with mud spots, and her fair face was also smudged. She hugged her legs and curled up in the cabin next to Zheng Yun's legs, looking embarrassed and pitiful.

But her eyes were smiling.

Her eyes were sparkling.

"Okay, lie down quickly."

Zheng Yun nodded, let go of the joystick with his right hand, and gently patted Song Wan's gauze hat, asking her to lower her head.

"Yeah."

Song Wan agreed softly, showing her extremely flexible body. She stretched her legs and leaned her head against her knees. She also held the phone in both hands and turned her head to look at the messages in Group 1.

She got in quite thoroughly.

Her whole body was huddled in the cabin.

She did whatever she was asked to do.

Zheng Yun stared at the river situation closely. The current situation was similar to that in the Qianzhou Strait. He had to concentrate to avoid obstacles and had no time to take care of other things.

So the task of reading the phone was given to Song Wan.

Others used the female voice in the phone to read the latest news, but Zheng Yun had a full-time little reciter.

But there was no other way.

He really didn't have time to read it, and these messages were very important, so Song Wan needed to observe and report at all times.

Just a little sigh in his heart.

Song Wan was born to be an explorer.

As long as she was taken to explore dangerous places, even if she was covered in mud and dirt, she still had a bright smile on her face. You could tell at a glance that she was in a good mood and was very serious about completing the task and playing her role.

This kind of girl should be difficult to pursue.

Zheng Yun didn't have much experience in this regard, but he had heard Liu Ming and other college buddies bragging in the dormitory before.

Taking ordinary girls out to play is nothing more than watching movies and eating, and giving gifts to make them happy.

But Song Wan doesn't seem to belong to this category.

She usually has a calm expression, because she is young and just a junior, with a pretty and cute face. It is hard to describe her as stern, but in fact it is almost the same.

Hu Zi has never seen her smile, and she often gives her a cold look, so she calls her Sister Song.

It is different when she goes out. In contrast to what Hu Zi has seen and heard, Zheng Yun has basically never seen Song Wan not smile, which should be related to the fact that every time she goes out with Song Wan, she is on an adventure.

The first time she met Song Wan, she took the initiative to participate in the rescue mission in La Maine Town. She took a car for more than ten hours all the way, and she didn't rest well for two or three days afterwards.

But she never said a word of tiredness.

After walking around the Hades Pavilion, climbing rocks and drilling holes, being chased by insects and ghost soldiers, everyone else was resting on the river beach, but she could still drive an off-road vehicle, step on the accelerator along the riverbed, and rush to La Maine Town in one breath to find something.

She is really energetic.

She is much better than Li Xiya.

Even I may not be able to survive her.

Sometimes it is also confusing, she has such strong power in her petite body compared to her own.

In short, she is really special.

She is different from the girl Liu Ming and others talked about.

It is estimated that it will not have much effect if she goes to the movies, goes shopping and eats. She is not interested at all. On the contrary, she will be very happy if you take her out for adventures more often...

At this moment.

The river in front of it changed again.

The river, which was originally one meter wide, suddenly turned into countless finger-width tributaries, evenly scattered on a mudflat, and no longer converged even if it rushed up.

It has reached the end.

The end of this river is here. It is impossible to continue to take the boat forward. They must get off the boat and walk.

"There are still more than a thousand meters away from the accident area, but there will be no road after that. We need to find our own way."

Song Wan took the aerial photos and spoke. She has always been good at leading the way and has been responsible for this part several times.

"Wait for Hu Ruihua and the others to come over."

Zheng Yun turned around and looked behind him. Hu Ruihua had been leading the way before, but the kayak was scratched and fell behind.

"The helicopter should be at its destination."

Song Wan looked up at the sky. Although she couldn't see anything in the thick fog, she could hear the sound of the propeller.

Look for the helicopter.

It's impossible to get lost.

"Just follow the sound to find the way. Do you need to wash your face?" Zheng Yun took out a bottle of mineral water and asked.

"No, it won't be the same after washing for a while."

Song Wan smiled and shook her head, but still quietly avoided Zheng Yun's gaze and wiped the mud next to the mask with the back of her hand.

"Too."

Zheng Yun stopped talking.

The two waited for a while. The sound of the kayaks of Hu Ruihua and others slowly approached, and the silhouette of the boat was revealed through the fog. Several people were covered in mud, as if they had fallen.

The closer you get, the clearer you can see.

Something did happen to them.

The whole kayak was dark inside.

I actually encountered a similar situation here, but the two ghost generals each held a tree trunk. Once the kayak tilted, they inserted mud to control it.

"Are you okay?"

Zheng Yun asked quickly.

"It's okay. I just encountered a swamp creature. It actually jumped into our kayak along the rotten trees and shocked us all." Hu Ruihua shook his head.

"That was really scary. I was so scared that I jumped off the ship. Brother Zheng, are you okay here?" Huzi asked.

"fine."

Zheng Yun glanced at the ghost general.

Many swamp creatures were discovered along the way, but none jumped onto the ship. Even if there were, they would have been swatted away by the ghost commander long ago and would not have been able to successfully enter the cabin.

"There are so many kinds of creatures in the river. We just found a lot of fish, but I don't know if they can be eaten. They all look weird." Huzi muttered.

"It's best not to touch it at all." Zheng Yun shook his head.

Those swamp creatures look more like fish than snakes, and some have the appearance of nematodes of different lengths, or have mucous membranes and spider web-like organs used to hunt mosquitoes and mayflies.

They had just discovered a special kind of bug crawling between two tree branches. It looked exactly like a spider web, but it curled up into a ball when poked with a wooden stick.

A huge spider web.

It is actually a soft-bodied biological individual.

There are also things that look like rags hanging from broken trees. Not all of them are vines. Quite a few of them are slimy soft-bodied creatures.

Song Wan explained.

Professor Zhang is studying this soft-bodied creature. The longest individual found so far is three meters long and seven meters wide, hanging from the branches like a curtain.

All I know now is that it's not a plant.

The color itself is not black. The black color is due to a large number of flying insects, which turn black when they rot.

This scene is completely different from the underground of Nanze Ancient City. It is a real swamp ecology full of unique creatures.

"Should we continue setting off now, or should we take a short rest?" Hu Ruihua opened a bottle of mineral water, washed his hands, took off his gloves and mask, and lit a cigarette.

"Wait until you finish smoking this one. If you can, do it as little as possible. This place is very dangerous." Zheng Yun patted Hu Ruihua on the shoulder.

There is no doubt about Hu Ruihua's professional qualities, but he has been addicted to smoking for many years and can only stop smoking a few cigarettes.

"forget about it."

Hu Ruihua shook his head and smoked a cigarette on the spot.

"Brother Zheng, Professor Zhang made a guess before that the most critical aspect of swamp ecology is temperature. The temperature here remains high all year round, and the temperature inside the silt is also suitable. It is 20 degrees from the surface to ten meters underground."

"This environment is suitable for the survival of oviparous organisms. In addition to the common oviparous types, there are also some species that we have never seen before, and there is even one that lays eggs in alternate generations."

"On the contrary, mammals are at the lower end of the competition because of the high humidity and unstable nursing environment, and it is difficult for them to form groups with larger individual bodies."

"Under this premise, Professor Zhang believes that parasites and bacterial viruses in swamp ecosystems are unlikely to evolve lethal functions against large mammals."

"Similarly, creatures in swamp ecosystems, even giant snake-like individuals, although they have the ability to kill humans, lack the hunting instinct against humans."

"Because there is no survival goal and pressure, and no evolutionary motivation, natural organisms will not evolve out of thin air."

"But Professor Zhang didn't mention this speculation when he was chatting with you, because he didn't dare to vouch for it. After all, there are Ming Dynasty ruins here, and many things can't be said clearly."

Song Wan whispered in Zheng Yun's ear.

Zheng Yun nodded and wrote down the matter. Song Wan mentioned a lot of little knowledge points along the way, and even had a small notebook. These knowledge may be crucial clues.

She also collected it from Professor Zhang and wrote it down carefully in order to help her explore.

Song Wan is such a good teammate.

Can't find any flaws in her.

Everyone rested on the spot for a while, picked a landing point on the left and right sides of the river, then moved the necessary equipment from the kayak to the tree trunk, adjusted the equipment and continued to set off.

Walking deep in the rainforest.

Walk towards the helicopter.

Everyone wore a gauze hat on their heads to protect their faces and necks, and their whole bodies were in rainforest jackets. They chopped vines and tree trunks with knives all the way, and walked forward with difficulty on the mud.

Archaeological work is really not easy.

The No. 2 Ancient City District has just entered the window period not long ago. There is no road in all directions. Everyone went there this way, and no one can escape or escape.

They just walked for a while.

I don’t know what the reason is.

Suddenly a group of ferocious flying insects attacked them, not only chasing and biting them, but also spraying venom on them, corroding the jackets and wrinkling them, and splashing on their faces will cause redness and swelling.

"Run slower!"

"Watch your feet!"

"Insecticide spray!"

Zheng Yun hurriedly gave orders, asking everyone to stay calm and deal with it properly, and at the same time pulled Song Wan to his side.

The others were all big men, Zheng Yun couldn't take care of them and didn't need to take care of them. In a hurry, he could only protect Song Wan first, protecting her face with one hand to prevent the venom from splashing on her face.

Hiss.

Several bottles of spray sprayed at the same time.

Large amounts of white liquid quickly spread out.

This special spray made by the archaeological team can be sprayed five meters away in one breath. A few bottles of cross-spray can fill the entire rainforest. It is non-toxic to humans, but the insecticide effect is extremely strong.

Hiss.

The sound came from beside Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun looked down and saw Song Wan in his arms, with his arms protecting her face. She was also very obedient and motionless, leaning gently against his side.

It was as if she was blindfolded by Zheng Yun.

But in this situation, she took out the insecticide spray from her pocket and sprayed it on Zheng Yun. Even if she couldn't see it, she could quickly complete this operation.

I am protecting her.

She is also trying to protect herself.

"..."

Zheng Yun subconsciously let go of Song Wan.

This scene was very similar to when he was caught by the ghost soldiers. Song Wan hugged his legs tightly and stuck her body in front of the gap. At the same time, she took out the knife and handed it to him.

At this critical moment, she still cared to follow his command, took out the spray and sprayed it on herself, and sprayed it all on herself, not on her.

She was not panicked at all.

She didn't need to take care of it herself.

But as soon as her hand loosened a little, Zheng Yun protected her face again. No matter whether she was panicked or not, it had nothing to do with whether he protected her or not. Since he brought her in, he had to protect her.

Or don't bring her.

Since he brought her, don't let anything happen.

She dared to go into danger with him every time, and it was also out of absolute trust in him. I can't let her down.

"Almost."

Zheng Yun spoke softly to everyone.

In order to travel light and speed up, they didn't bring much insecticide spray. If they used it all up now, they might not have enough when they encountered similar situations later.

"Okay."

"All dispersed."

"Just now I was really scared."

Hu Zi and others stopped one by one.

Hiss.

Another short spray.

Zheng Yun lowered his head again and looked in front of him. Song Wan sprayed him twice more, and then changed her hand to spray his back.

Let go of her hand.

Song Wan subconsciously raised her head, her dark eyes were clear and bright, and she looked at Zheng Yun with a bright smile.
