Chapter 801: Start exploring, small gains
The two of them made a brief preparation and headed towards the mountains.
The jungle was dense all around, there were no roads at all, and they could only walk through the dense forest, the ground was littered with dead branches and leaves, and there were all kinds of vines everywhere, which made the two of them move very slowly.
After walking forward with difficulty for almost half a day, I don't know how far I have gone, Laura is tired and out of breath, the two of them sit on the ground to rest, Jiang Hao took out the fish meat that had been grilled before from his backpack, wrapped it in banana leaves, opened it and gave Laura half of it.
Laura took a bite, looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Although there are only simple ingredients, but you have made it delicious, are you a chef?" ”
Jiang Hao smiled, "I have studied cooking professionally. ”
Laura looked at Jiang Hao in surprise, "How can you learn everything." ”
"It's just a hobby, I like to explore in the wild, if I don't know a little cooking, I'm afraid I'll only have to eat dry food outside, it will be very sad, and knowing how to cook is also useful for dealing with emergencies." Jiang Hao said while eating the fish.
Laura agrees with Jiang Hao's statement, "I also like adventure, and now my father is dead, but I think I want to inherit my father's legacy and become an explorer in the future, it seems that I will have to learn a lot of things in the future." ”
The current Laura is indeed very immature, and she cannot be compared with the famous queen of adventures in the future.
"Let's take a sip of water." Jiang Hao handed the kettle over.
Laura took the kettle and took a few sips, and after putting the kettle down, Laura asked, "Jon, do you think it's possible for us to destroy Himiko and escape from Yamadai?" ”
"Why, I'm worried, you were full of confidence just now." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
"I'm determined, but I'm still worried." Laura said.
"Don't worry, I think we'll get out." Jiang Hao comforted.
The two rested for a while and continued to set off, after walking for half an hour, they suddenly heard the sound of rumbling water, the two walked forward, and saw a crack canyon, the crack is almost ten meters wide, the bottom of the canyon is a river with abundant water, and there is a waterfall not far in front, so there will be such a big movement.
"It's strange that there should be such a river on an island with such a large flow of water, and it's a bit unreasonable." Laura said.
"There's so much going on this island that doesn't make sense, we need to cross the river and find out where we can get there." Jiang Hao said.
The two looked along the canyon, and after turning over a dense forest, they saw a giant tree half a meter thick lying across the crack in the canyon, leading to the opposite side, Laura was overjoyed, and took Jiang Hao to hurry over, but Jiang Hao frowned slightly after seeing it, and said: "This is artificially made, but look at these chopping traces, the time should not be too long, there have been storms in the past two days, and the changes under the erosion of wind and rain, I estimate that it will not be more than a week." ”
"How do you know a week?" Laura asked.
"I've learned the carpenter's trade." Jiang Hao said.
Laura looked at Jiang Hao's eyes with surprise, is it necessary for a teacher who learns occultism to learn carpenter's craft?
Well, at least it's of some use now.
"Let's go over." Jiang Hao said as he stepped on the giant tree, stepping on the rough trunk and quickly arrived at the opposite side.
But when he looked back, he found that Laura was still standing there, looking stunned and nervous.
"What's wrong, come here?" Jiang Hao said.
Laura hesitated for a moment and said, "I, I'm a little scared. ”
Jiang Hao just forgot, now this Laura is a tender girl.
He stepped on the trunk of the tree again, reached out and took Laura's hand, and said encouragingly: "The most important thing to overcome when walking in this kind of place is actually the fear in your heart, come, walk slowly with me." ”
Laura followed nervously, Jiang Hao took her hand and said as she walked: "Have you noticed that if you walk on the flat ground, it is easy to walk out of a straight line, and your body will not shake, but in this dangerous environment, it is easy to move out of shape, right, in fact, it is because of the fear in my heart, fate is afraid of brave people, and I go to bully cowards, so you see, we have come over, haven't we." ”
Laura was surprised to find that before she knew it, the two of them had already crossed the single-plank bridge, just now she listened to Jiang Hao's words because she was distracted, and even forgot her fear, so she came over in such a daze, and it seemed that it was not as difficult as she imagined.
Laura glanced at the single-plank bridge and the canyon dozens of meters deep, and seemed to have some realization in her heart.
"Okay, let's keep going, but then we're going to have to be more careful." Jiang Hao said.
The two of them went on,
Just after passing through a dense forest, Jiang Hao suddenly found that there were traces of human life here, and there was even a path, and Laura naturally found it, and the two glanced at each other.
"My father's notes say that this island, which was originally part of the Yamatai Kingdom, had indigenous people who survived by farming and fishing, and then there were survivors who were displaced to the island, and they often fought for countless years, and because people continued to join, this kind of war never stopped," said Laura.
Jiang Hao nodded, "The aborigines have a tradition of worshipping Queen Himiko with living people, and the survivors will inevitably fight between the two sides in order to survive, for food and living materials. ”
Both of them moved cautiously, and suddenly, after turning a few trees, on one of them, Laura saw several things hanging from them, and when she saw clearly, she almost screamed in surprise.
It's people,
Those people were wrapped in cloth, only one head was exposed, hanging upside down from the tree, the bodies of those people had already been dried, and their heads had become skulls, I don't know how long they had been hanging here, the breeze blowing, and these corpses would sway slightly, like a string of wind chimes.
"Sacrifice!"
The word was born in the hearts of two people at the same time.
Jiang Hao took out a pistol, Laura also took out a gun to guard, the two continued to explore, and walked a few kilometers out, the two suddenly saw a village, and at the entrance of the village, they also saw several corpses.
Jiang Hao stretched out his hand to ask Laura to stop, "You are on guard here, I'll go over and check it." Jiang Hao said.
"Okay." Laura replied.
Jiang Hao held the gun, his eyes observed the surrounding situation, and walked over step by step, after approaching the corpses, Jiang Hao carefully looked at the degree of decay of the skin on his body, and an unpleasant rancid smell wafted out, the eye area had become a big hole, and the eyeballs had already been corrupted.
Jiang Hao made a judgment that the time of death should be about a week.
Beside them, Jiang Hao saw weapons, such as bows and arrows and daggers. The clothes on their bodies were varied, Jiang Hao guessed that these people should be aborigines or survivors of the village, the wounds on their bodies were no longer visible, but guessed from the holes in the clothes, it should be gun marks.
Jiang Hao was next to him again, found some cartridge casings, picked them up and looked at them, 5.56 mm small-caliber bullet casings, Jiang Hao could probably guess what gun the other party used, M16A1 automatic rifle or FNC 5.56 mm assault rifle, the magazines and bullets of these two guns are universal, and they also have a common name, called the mercenary's favorite.
Jiang Hao beckoned to Laura, Laura came out from behind a tree, walked to the next to these corpses, saw the decomposing corpses, she had an urge to vomit, swallowed hard, and quickly suppressed the feeling, but dared not look at the corpses.
"This should be a village, these people have been attacked, let's go in and see, you follow me, be careful yourself." Jiang Hao admonished.
"I understand." Laura replied.
The two entered the village, carefully probed, and found that the corpses at the entrance of the village were only part of them, and there were dozens of corpses in the village, all of which had been shot and killed.
"What the hell is going on?" Laura wondered.
Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "According to the current situation, I guess that a week ago, a group of people with modern weapons came here, or passed through here, maybe they had a conflict before, and then those people killed the entire village. ”
"A man with modern weapons, is it a soldier?" Laura wondered.
"The methods are very professional, I have also received special forces training, their methods of killing people should have been quite professional and strict military training, I guess, either soldiers or mercenaries." Jiang Hao said.
"You're also trained as a special forces?" Laura asked.
"Hehe, I'll have a lot of things, don't be surprised if you see me in the future." Jiang Hao said.
"What now?" Laura asked.
"Let's search to see if there's anything available, and then we move on, and I think this time, we're probably going to have to deal with more than just Queen Himiko." Jiang Hao said.
Most of these houses are built of stone and wood, and the construction is very clumsy, but Jiang Hao and the others found a lot of modern supplies in these people's homes, such as aluminum woks, gas stoves, sunglasses, modern books, teacups and tea sets, and so on.
"It should have been taken from a sunken ship." Jiang Hao said.
After searching several houses in a row, there was no gain, just after entering another house, Laura found a hunting bow in the corner, picked it up and tried it, and found that there was a crack in the bow arm of the hunting bow, she said with some regret: "I used to learn bows and arrows for a long time, at first my father taught me, and then at the Swedish College, I applied for archery and skiing, both of which I got the highest scores." ”
"In fact, in the jungle, it is good for the enemy to use a bow and arrow, it will not move as much as a gun, and it is not easy to be discovered, but unfortunately, this one is broken."
Jiang Hao was inspecting a large wooden box next to him, and when he heard Laura say this, Jiang Hao's eyes rolled, and his hand slipped in the empty box, and suddenly there were a few more things, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Laura, come and see, I found something good." ”
"What's good?" Laura came over at once.
When he looked into the box, he exclaimed, "Wow, there are really a lot of good things, this should be the equipment left by an expedition team." ”
"I think so, let's take things out and see what's there." Jiang Hao said and began to take things out.
Some canned food, a bundle of rope, two pickaxes, and two sets of bows and arrows, each with 20 arrows.
"Hunting bows, it's amazing, my favorite thing to use is hunting bows." Laura said in surprise.
The young lady hung up the hunting bow and carried the quiver on her back, and the bowstring fell right between the twin peaks, making her figure even more prominent.
Jiang Hao put away other things, and the two searched the village again, but they found nothing, and continued to set off, heading towards the center of the island.
