The two landing craft have been placed on the seashore, and it is impossible for them to drag the two boats into the jungle, but now the river is still more than 20 meters wide, and the river is still turbid, and I don't know what dangers are hidden under the river, it is not realistic to swim over, and there may be landlubbers in this team.

"Captain, why don't we cut down a few big trees to make a boat?" Wu Zhen pointed to a row of big trees in the jungle, "It's just that we didn't bring axes, and we cut them with sapper shovels, I don't know what year and month we cut them down." ”

In the jungle of New Bloss, there are very thick trees, and there are no trees with a relatively small diameter like bamboo, so big that a person can cut them for a day. When the boat is ready, I'm afraid that everyone will feed the dogs.

"It's not realistic to make a boat, first, we don't have the tools, and second, the speed is too slow," Buckton Lin pointed to the muddy river, "Even if you make a boat, can you guarantee that the boat will not be attacked when it gets out of the water?"

Buctonlin's worries are absolutely necessary, even if there is a boat, and the animals in the water feel that the ship is coming, will they let the boat pass freely and be indifferent? Especially if they know that there is food to eat on board, will they do everything in their power to overturn the ship? Just like the prehistoric monsters in the sea area of the Bloss Circle, even if you are a warship, it will find a way to sink the ship.

The three of them fell into deep thought all of a sudden, the method of making a boat seemed unreliable, Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that if he was alone, there would be no problem at all to forcibly cross the river, but at the moment there are more than a dozen people here, and it is not too easy to ensure that everyone crosses the river safely.

Buctonlin looked at Pang Xiaonan with hope, hoping that he could come up with a good way, after all, in the sea area of the Bloss Circle, it was Pang Xiaonan who stepped forward and saved the scientific expedition team.

Pang Xiaonan looked at the scene on the other side of the river, and suddenly, he turned his head and said to Buctonlin: "Captain, either we cut down a big tree, and then build a bridge on both sides of the river, so that everyone can step on the trunk of the tree to cross the river, do you think it will work?"

Buctonlin's eyes lit up, yes, open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water, this is the simplest and most simple way.

"Good way!" said Bucton Lynn snapping his fingers, "as long as a bridge can be built, the river will not be so dangerous." ”

"But captain, the river is still more than 20 meters wide, we have to cut down at least a 30-meter-long tree, how can we carry it to the shore?" Wu Zhen expressed his concern, even if the big tree is cut down and transported to the river, it is a problem.

"What about a 30-meter tree?" Bucton Lin said disapprerovingly, "There are more than a dozen of us here, remove those who have no strength, even if the scientific expedition team doesn't make a move, we still have 10 people in the Black Mamba, 10 people carry a 30-meter tree trunk, will they not be able to carry it?"

Pang Xiaonan frowned, obviously Bucton Lin's mathematical knowledge is not very good, even if a person carries 200 catties, that is, 100 kilograms, 10 people can only resist 1000 kilograms, that is, 1 ton of weight, a 30-meter-long tree trunk, not to mention 1 ton?

"Captain, I don't think it's realistic," Pang Xiaonan pointed to the upstream of the river, "Wu Zhen is right, the river here is still too wide, I think we should go up again, maybe the upstream river will be narrower, at that time, we only need 10 meters or more than 10 meters of tree trunks, then it is more realistic that we can get the trunks to the bank." Besides, the trunk is thinner, and we can cut it down a little easier. ”

Buckton Lin frowned and looked at the turbid river, thought for a long time, and finally affirmed Pang Xiaonan's thoughts, "Hey, there is really no way, only according to what you said, let's go up and see the situation." ”

After saying that, Bucton Lin shouted at everyone: "Everyone has rested enough, let's continue to hurry." ”

The members of the expedition stood up from the ground in twos and threes, patted the dust and grass clippings on their buttocks, and continued on the road with the Black Mamba Escort.

Pang Xiaonan returned to Professor Li Sanming and continued to walk with him.

Professor Li Sanming asked Pang Xiaonan, "What were you discussing just now?"

Pang Xiaonan did not hide it, and said: "We are thinking about whether to continue walking along the river bank or cross the river. ”

"Then the result of your discussion is to continue walking along the riverbank?" Professor Li Sanming has actually been thinking about crossing the river, but he doesn't know how to cross it, after all, he doesn't know how to water.

"We plan to go to a place where the river is a little narrower upstream, where the water is clearer, and then find a way to cross the river. Pang Xiaonan felt that there would be no problem with this decision.

"What year and month does that have to go?" Professor Li Sanming felt that since he had decided to cross the river, the sooner the better, so he walked aimlessly along the river, and just now Buenovski said that they had walked for so long was equivalent to standing still, so what was the difference between walking and not walking.

"Don't worry, Professor, we're here for everyone's safety. Pang Xiaonan helped Li Sanming, just now his feet slipped and stumbled to the side.

"Hey, there's nothing safe in this primeval forest. Li Sanming sighed, "I thought, get to the hinterland of New Bloss earlier, even if we are buried here, at least we can figure out what secrets there are here, instead of wasting time by the river." ”

"Sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, and good things are sharpened. Pang Xiaonan smiled and enlightened Professor Li Sanming, "Professor, you just wait first, we will definitely find a way to cross the river, but on the premise of ensuring everyone's safety." ”

Sure enough, after walking for about 20 minutes, the river narrowed all of a sudden, and the trees on the bank became closer and closer to the river, Buktonlin was overjoyed, and when the river was only about 10 meters wide, he shouted to everyone again: "Everyone stop, rest in place, Pang Xiaonan come over." ”

Pang Xiaonan also noticed the change in the width of the river, and what was even happier was that the big trees on the bank were also close to the riverbank, and they could fall on the other side of the river almost as soon as they were cut down.

"Pang Xiaonan, look," Bucton Lin pointed to a towering tree, "I didn't expect to be right, I didn't think you were right, and it didn't go far, the surface of the river was reduced by half, and this big tree seemed to grow on the bank, and there was a lot less grass." ”

"Captain, don't be too happy too early," Pang Xiaonan said with a smile, "Although this environment seems to be convenient for crossing the river, maybe the danger index in this river is higher than just now?"

Buktonlin punched Pang Xiaonan's arm hard, "You stinky boy, can you speak, can you speak?" After speaking, Buktonlin stretched out his head and looked at the water that was about to submerge to the shore, "Look at this river, it is also much more beautiful than just now, and the aquatic plants in this river are clearly visible." ”

The river water is indeed clearer, no longer so yellow and turbid, but with a little gray color, the aquatic plants in the water can indeed see part of it clearly, but after half a meter, the situation in the river is still relatively confusing.

Due to the proximity of the trees, the area on both sides of the river is much darker, and the sunlight can only shine on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, and there are only specks of light.

"Captain, since the conditions are right, then let's get started!" Pang Xiaonan sincerely suggested, without further ado, everyone is now looking forward to crossing the river.

"That's right, immediately organize people, choose a big tree and cut it down. Bucton Lin crossed his hands and thought for a while, "It's useless if there are too many people, it's enough for two people to cut down trees, and if there are too many people, it won't help, but it will help." ”

Buctonlin looked up at his teammates, thought for a while, turned his head and said to Pang Xiaonan: "You go and call Wu Zhen and Dawo Khan Khan, both of them have good physical strength, and they are also skilled in sappers and shovels." ”

"Captain, I can do that too. Pang Xiaonan then recommended himself, and he thought about not wasting all his strength.

"You, go and protect the expedition team. Buctonlin waved his hand, "Good steel is used on the blade, your primary goal is not to cut down trees, but to protect everyone's safety, these heavy work, I will arrange it." ”

"Okay. Bucton Lin said that Pang Xiaonan was speechless, this may be the true meaning of killing chickens with cattle slaughtering knives.

Pang Xiaonan called Wu Zhen and Dawo Khan Khan, and returned to Professor Li Sanming's side.

"What, are you ready to cross the river?" Professor Li Sanming was very sensitive, as soon as he saw the narrowing of the river, he knew that the Black Mamba Guards would find a way to cross the river.

"Yes, ready to cross the river. Pang Xiaonan sat down beside Professor Li Sanming, the land here is not like before, full of grass, the river here is relatively flat, there are some small grasses, and they are all plants similar to turf.

"How are you going to cross the river?" Professor Li Sanming looked at Pang Xiaonan with concern in his eyes.

"Look," Pang Xiaonan pointed to a big tree in the distance, and Wu Zhen and Dawo Khan Khan had already walked under the big tree, "We cut down the big tree, and then let it stand on the surface of the river, and people walked across the river from the trunk." ”

"What a good idea!" Professor Li Sanming gave Pang Xiaonan a thumbs up, "Who came up with such a good idea?"

"The crystallization of collective wisdom!" Pang Xiaonan did not dare to be arrogant.

"It's not easy to cut down such a big tree, right?" Professor Li Sanming didn't see the Black Mamba Guards carrying axes on them, and felt that such a large project was really difficult.

"The tools are a little bit bad, but with the superior physical strength of our Black Mamba Guard, it shouldn't take much time. Pang Xiaonan didn't forget to boast about his team, "Even if those two people are tired, we have a few other team members here, everyone takes turns to get on it, and a big tree is not a problem." ”

As they spoke, Uzhen and Dawo Khan Khan had begun to wield their sapper shovels and attack the big tree.

"You have to grasp the angle, don't let the tree fall crookedly!" Bucton Lin supervised the work on the side, making sure that the tree fell in the predetermined direction, otherwise, even if it fell, it would be a waste of all the previous efforts.

"Don't worry, Captain, it's not the first time we've cut down trees!" Uzhen was full of confidence, they had cut down this kind of big tree to make wood in the jungle before, it was a long mission, they needed to live in the jungle for several months, and they had to cut down some trees to build houses.

Soon, in less than half an hour, a large tree the thickness of a basin was cut down by the Black Mamba Guard, of course, a few waves of people in the middle, and the big tree slowly fell and fell on both sides of the river, connecting this side of the river to that side.

Professor Li Sanming watched the big tree fall and said with emotion: "Your black mamba is enough, if I am asked to cut it, I will not be able to cut it down for a day." ”

Pang Xiaonan laughed, "Professor, you are still exaggerating, if you really want to cut it, you can't cut it down in half a month, don't underestimate this tree, its density is not comparable to bamboo." ”

Pang Xiaonan made a cameo appearance as a little expert at cutting trees, and the trees in New Bloss are very dense, which means that everyone has to pay much more labor than usual.

If these intellectuals, who are powerless, cut down the trees and shovel them down, they can only hurt a little of the epidermis.

When the scientific expedition team saw this situation, they instantly understood that this was to cross the river, and Xiao Tian Lima walked to Pang Xiaonan's side and said, "Pang Xiaonan, you cut down this tree, do you want us all to step on this tree to cross the river?"

Pang Xiaonan raised the corners of his mouth and said, "A professor is a professor, and he doesn't need us to teach, he knows that he wants to cross the river." ”

Oda Rima and Pang Xiaonan were not polite at all, since entering the Bloss Circle, they had long lost the reserve of intellectuals, and said loudly: "Nonsense, it's not a river, we're going to cross New Bloss." ”

Lima Oda had already deduced from the tone of the first mate Buenolski that if she walked along the river, she would never be able to penetrate into the hinterland of New Bloss.

Professor Li Sanming sighed: "If this tree could be a little flatter, it would be safer for us to cross the river." ”

Pang Xiaonan smiled awkwardly, and enlightened Li Sanming: "Professor, it's good to have something to cross the river, you can't be too demanding, besides, this trunk is thick enough that it won't slip." ”

There is a large tree with the thickness of a basin, and when people walk on it, it is like walking on the ground, so there is basically no need to worry.

When Bucton saw the tree fall on the other side of the river, his heart was as if he had drunk honey, and he was so happy that he finally had to go up the river in a foolish manner.

The big tree was just on both sides of the river, and it was not very long, mainly not short, and everyone walked over it just enough to reach the grass on the opposite bank.

Buktonlin beckoned Pang Xiaonan to go over, and Pang Xiaonan ran to Buxtonlin in three steps and two steps, "Pang Xiaonan, you should be the first to go over and demonstrate to the scientific expedition team." ”

"Yes, Captain. Pang Xiaonan jumped to the end of the tree trunk, and then crossed the river quickly without making any stops, and in a blink of an eye he reached the other side of the river.

Pang Xiaonan waved his hand and shouted to this side: "Comrades, come here!"

Seeing Pang Xiaonan easily cross the river, the members of the scientific expedition team were full of interest, everyone thought that it was difficult to cross the river, but judging from Pang Xiaonan's brisk pace, as long as he ran two steps, he could immediately reach the other side of the river, which was too simple.

The power of example is endless, and Wu Zhen also crossed the other side of the river with two strokes, and Buctonlin shouted here: "Damn, what are you running without my order......

But before he finished speaking, Wu Zhen was already standing side by side with Pang Xiaonan.

He walked to the front of the scientific expedition team and said with a smile: "Scientists, we have walked along the river bank for so long, and finally found a suitable place to cross the river, and now the bridge has been erected, and everyone can step on the trunk to cross the river in turn, then I will not arrange the order for everyone, if you want to go first, go first, okay?"

Bucton Lin pretended to attract everyone to cross the river, but in fact, the river was disobeying orders, and the life and death after that had nothing to do with the Black Mamba Guard.

The trunk of the big tree is about less than a meter from the surface of the river, but it is not next to the surface of the river after all, so it looks very safe.

The reason why no one dared to force themselves across the river before was because they couldn't see the form of the river, and if there were big snakes, or crocodiles, or piranhas, then it would be a great risk to swim over.

Now that the big tree is on the surface of the water, no matter how far away from the river, as long as there is a certain distance, everyone's sense of security will be improved a lot, as long as there is no contact with the river, then the spirit of daring to be the first is not lacking.

Rita Rima was the first to jump out, "I'll go first." ”

Lima Oda was the first to jump on this end of the tree trunk with a heavy backpack, grabbed the strap with both hands, took a deep breath, and then used her feet to run towards the opposite bank, and finally jumped smoothly to the opposite ground.

As soon as she jumped to the land on the other side, Rita Rima threw away the backpack on her body desperately, jumped on Pang Xiaonan's waist, hugged Pang Xiaonan's neck with both hands, and sandwiched Pang Xiaonan's waist with her feet, and shouted excitedly: "I'm here." I'm coming......"

Everyone saw that Rita Rita had successfully crossed the river, and the other members of the expedition team were also eager to try, and BridgeMorgan's assistant asked Bridgemorgan, "Boss, should we go over first?"

Bridgemorgan waved his hand and said, "Wait." ”

BridgeMorgan, the heir to the world's largest mysterious consortium, looks at things a little cunningly, and temporary security does not mean that there is no danger, and only when he is sure that he is foolproof, he dares to take this risk. This is not a commercial society, Bridgemorgan is familiar with business, but this is an unknown environment, and the best respect for nature is to maintain a sense of awe.

Although Rita Dima was the first to rush over, no one on the side of the scientific expedition team dared to cross the thunder pool by half a step. Professor Cowhide Kras looked left and right, and saw that everyone was not moving, and he could not bear it any longer, and jumped on the trunk of the tree.

"I can't help but go, I'll go first, goodbye, comrades!" Professor Cowhide Kras, although he was a little older, but his foot strength was really good, and he was seen to walk like a fly, rushing across the river at the same speed as Oda Rima.

Although the big tree is very thick, it is not as flat as the road, and it is still possible to slip when walking on it, because the trunk is a cylinder, and in fact the bark is very rough, and the slippage is a very unexpected situation, but all the members of the scientific expedition are still very cautious.

Oda Rima waved her hand anxiously on the other side of the river and shouted, "Teacher, come here!"

But Totekchaski was indifferent, and in his experience the river was not so easy to cross. It is likely that the moment he crosses the river, the danger will occur.

Seeing that only two people had passed by the expedition team, and the others were watching, Bucton Lin felt that it was time to show his safety again, so he shouted to the members of the Black Mamba Escort: "Sniper team, cross the river! Everyone, pay attention to the surface of the river, shoot immediately if there is danger, do not wait for my orders!"

Wu Yongqiang and Zhao Guifei shouted at the same time: "Yes!" The two of them stood on this side of the tree, one after the other.

The tree fell straight down, except for the trunk that stretched across the river, and the branches and branches extended into the river. On the other side of the river, the branches were so dense that the thick branches of the bowl reached into the river, and those branches were not the size of a rice bowl, but the size of a vegetable bowl.

Wu Yongqiang glanced back at Zhao Guifei and said, "I'll go first." After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Guifei to respond, he hung the sniper rifle on his right shoulder, and ran towards the front with the wind under his feet.

Zhao Guifei took the pistol, and when Wu Yongqiang ran to the middle of the tree trunk, that is, the middle of the river, he began to run, and quickly ran towards the other side of the river.

At this time, the surface of the river shook violently, and a lot of bubbles appeared at the bottom of the river, and people on both sides of the river could see it clearly, but they didn't know what was going on.

Just when Wu Yongqiang was about to reach the other side of the river, a crocodile head appeared on the surface of the river and bit Wu Yongqiang with lightning speed.

Wu Yongqiang felt a bloody wind rushing towards him, but he didn't have time to react, because his body was already in mid-air, and at this time, the Black Mamba guards on both sides of the river reflexively shot at the crocodile.

The crocodile's attack was slowed down by the Black Mamba Escort, and the big crocodile's head paused in midair, and then fell, falling on a huge branch, pressing the branch down, hitting the surface of the water, and setting off a huge splash.

At the same time, Zhao Guifei also followed Wu Yongqiang's steps to the middle of the river, and just when he was glad that the crocodile had been knocked into the water by his teammates, the water on the other side shook sharply, and another crocodile bit his head towards him.

At this time, the other members of the Black Mamba didn't have time to react, because the first crocodile had just fallen into the water, and everyone didn't expect that there was another crocodile on the other side.

It was a white crocodile, growing in size from the first, with sharp teeth that shimmered in the sunlight.

Zhao Guifei instinctively dodged and jumped towards the other side of the crocodile attack, and the other side was water, that is to say, he jumped not to the shore, but to the water.

There are already two crocodiles in the water, even if he dodges the attack of the crocodile now, once he falls into the water, he doesn't know what kind of danger awaits him.

But Zhao Guifei can't manage so much, if he doesn't hide, he will die on the spot.

However, Zhao Guifei still underestimated the power of the white crocodile, and at the moment when he fell into the water, the big mouth of the white crocodile just bit his lower body, and from his waist down, it was all engulfed in the crocodile's mouth.

"Ah......h

At the same time, gunshots rang out, and Black Mamba's teammates reacted and greeted the white crocodile like a tide of bullets.

The body of the white crocodile just fell on the trunk of the tree, it bit Zhao Guifei and did not let go, Zhao Guifei's upper body fell on the branch of the big tree, and his hands were immersed in the water.

Bullets rained down on the white crocodile's head, and red blood oozed from the white skin of the white crocodile, but it didn't seem to kill it, it writhed wildly.

Accompanied by Zhao Guifei's dragged left and right swinging in its mouth, like a doll, bitten in the mouth by a wild beast, violently hitting the branches.

"Sniper, aim for its head!" Buckton Lynn roared loudly, not forgetting to pull the trigger of the submachine gun and shoot fiercely at the white crocodile.

"Bang!" sniper Wu Yongqiang didn't wait for Bucton Lin to give the order, he had already aimed at the white crocodile and fired a bullet. It was his closest comrade-in-arms, his inseparable companion, and at the moment the lower half of his body was still wrapped in the mouth of the white crocodile.

Wu Yongqiang finished firing one bullet and immediately loaded the other, he was worried that one bullet would not kill the white crocodile.

Before he could finish reloading the second bullet, the white crocodile stopped writhing and seemed dead.

Bucton Lin waved his hand: "Stop shooting! Whoever goes to see if the crocodile is dead!"

"I'll go!" Without waiting for Buctonlin's approval, the combat officer Wu Zhen had already rushed to the trunk of the tree, and reached the side of the white crocodile in three or two steps.

At this moment, the body of the white crocodile is stuck in the center of the trunk, that is, the middle of the river, with its long mouth on one side of the trunk and its body and tail on the other.

Wu Zhen rushed forward, picked up the pistol and shot the white crocodile in the head twice, and kicked it twice, confirming that the white crocodile was dead.

Wu Zhen immediately turned his head to look at Zhao Guifei in the mouth of the white crocodile, only to see that Zhao Guifei was still in the mouth of the white crocodile below the abdomen, covered with blood and dying.

Wu Zhen shouted to the shore: "Somebody help me, pry the crocodile's mouth open." ”

"I'm coming!" Pang Xiaonan was just on the shore to protect a few members of the scientific expedition team, and he was weak about Zhao Guifei's attack, so he couldn't care so much at the moment, jumped on the trunk of the tree and rushed straight to the side of the white crocodile.

Pang Xiaonan jumped on the crocodile's head, stuffed his hands into the crocodile's mouth, grabbed the left tooth gap of the crocodile's mouth with one hand, and grabbed the right tooth gap of the crocodile's mouth with the other hand, and lifted it vigorously.

"Ah......" Zhao Guifei's cry was miserable and long, he was not dead, but his abdomen had rotted into a sieve, and the sharp teeth of the white crocodile had almost pierced his waist and abdomen.

"Wu Zhen, quickly carry Zhao Guifei ashore!" Pang Xiaonan grabbed the crocodile's mouth and shouted at the stunned Wu Zhen, Wu Zhen had seen a lot of bloody scenes, but this time it was the first time he had seen the cruelty of a crocodile biting off the human body, and he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

Wu Zhen reacted immediately, bent down and supported Zhao Guifei's body with both hands, "Bear with it, Zhao Guifei." ”

"Ah......" Zhao Guifei gritted his teeth, and with a strong effort, he lifted Zhao Guifei out of the crocodile's mouth, and then quickly hugged Zhao Guifei to the shore.

Pang Xiaonan shouted at the other side of the river: "While there is no danger now, everyone hurry up and cross the river!"

Bucton Lin reacted that since the white crocodile died, there had been no other crocodile attacks, and now it was a good opportunity to cross the river.

So he waved his hand behind him: "Everyone in the scientific expedition team will cross the river first, and the Black Mamba escort team will stay on the shore to observe and protect the scientific expedition team across the river!"

Everyone woke up from their stunned stup, and the remaining members of the expedition team immediately stepped on the trunk of the tree and cautiously walked towards the other side of the river.
