Traveler and Gesakuma

After returning to his tent, the guide, Mr. Qiu Zeer, did not rest directly like the rest of the expedition team. Instead, he turned on his communicator and lay down in the tent to wait for news.

Half an hour later, there was still no news from the communicator. Mr. Guide turned over with a frown, and began to take and put down the communicator frequently.

Mr. Guide's anxiety was beyond words, because if he didn't get the information he wanted to know tonight, it would not be so easy to contact the city after tomorrow.

With other people in his car during the day, it was impossible for Mr. Guide to be in contact with the city.

And after tonight, their team will have to abandon the car and move forward on foot from noon tomorrow, and once they go deep into the round corner forest, the ordinary residents' contact signals will disappear, and the only thing that can be used is the emergency distress signal .

So tonight is the best time for him to be able to contact the city smoothly by himself, which is why he is so anxious.

After waiting for another half an hour, Mr. Guide's communicator finally rang, and the flashing contact number told Mr. Guide that it was the person he was waiting for.

After the contactor was switched on, Qiu Zeer asked the other party in a low voice: "What, is it the traces of the strange beasts that I found at the water source?"

The person on the linker was silent for a while before saying: "At present, it is only judged that there should be a large number of wild beasts who have stayed there to rest. As for whether it is a strange beast or not, it is hard to judge. A few days ago The heavy rain washed away the marks on the edge of the spring and almost disappeared, if it weren't for you, others might not be able to find it at all."

"Continue to search by the river to see if you can find some residual hair, and if you can find it, test it immediately."

The person on the communicator paused for a few seconds before continuing: "Qiu Zeer, are you too sensitive? Isn't it normal for wild beasts to appear by the water spring? I think it's the possibility of a herd of alien beasts." Very small, we all know that things like alien beasts can no longer be regarded as living things, they have very little demand for water sources, but they have a strong demand for blood sources."

Hearing this, Mr. Guide raised his hand and scratched his head vigorously, saying: "Dude, you don't understand. There is abundant food in the wild this season, and wild beasts don't need to mate and reproduce, and don't need to migrate. The herd is very abnormal. And judging from the remaining traces, the herd that once rested by the spring should be very large in number, but the species inside are mixed. Can you believe that there is no shortage of food and water? Now, can carnivores and herbivores stay together peacefully and form herds without conflict?"

"Maybe those footprints were not left at the same time, they probably went to the spring to drink at different times, which is not impossible."

"Leave a swollen creek unused and risk your life to drink from a predator infested spring, man wild animals are not stupid, they have much better survival instincts than us."

This point of view is very convincing, but the companion on the opposite side of the communicator still sighed and said: "Well, since you insist, I will try to collect it. But don't have too much hope, you also know that the heavy rain will make the Everything is ruined."

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is something, there will always be something left. If the specimen is successfully collected, how long will the test take?"

"At least one week, which also excludes our time to return to the city."

"It's too slow, can you hurry up, I can't wait that long." Mr. Guide was obviously very impatient when he said this, and the people on the opposite side of the communicator could hear his heavy breathing Voice.

The person on the other side of the communicator was speechless for a few seconds. After organizing his words, he still said: "Chuzel, I think you are in a very bad state. I know that what happened when you were young made you feel so It’s still brooding now, we don’t know what you’re looking for, but we’ve seen your madness over the years. It can’t be like this anymore Qiu Zeer, you may not be able to find what you’re looking for if you go on like this, but you It will definitely break down."

The companion's reassurance calmed down the restless Mr. Guide. He held his communicator and said solemnly: "You will soon know what I am looking for. I have a hunch that I am very close to the final goal. gone."

In the early morning of the next day, everyone in the expedition team got up and tidied up amidst the warning sound of the tent. While making breakfast, most of them were filling the tent with oxygen, and some were checking their needs when they went out later. various equipment used.

After breakfast, the expedition team began to pack up their things and prepare to leave. Before leaving, the guide said to everyone: "Everyone, we will enter the state of hiking after half a day's drive. So please be prepared when you pack your luggage. Everything you need is on your body instead of in the car."

As the guide said, the expedition team did not return to the field vehicle after lunch, but carried their luggage and held hiking sticks, put on protective clothing and hiking boots, and prepared to go hiking.

The field vehicles that were left in place were carefully wrapped by the team members with protective cloth. Several vehicles were parked side by side, and only the light of the positioning instrument was still flashing inside.

Seeing that everyone was planning to leave with the team, it seemed that no one stayed to look at the cars, so these cars were left here?

Probably seeing Qian Qian’s doubts, the team leader Cobir, who was packing his luggage, explained with a smile: “Don’t worry about those off-road vehicles, this is already inside the round corner forest, and no one will come here except for the expedition team. There is an anti-theft and tracking system on a car, and the installation location is very secret, and it is very troublesome even for the manufacturer to disassemble and assemble. So anyone who knows the business knows that this kind of off-road car should not be touched, and if it is touched, it will suffer a big loss.”

The deputy next to him who was also packing his luggage smiled and said: "The professor is right, we do this every time we do field trips, and the car has never had any accidents, so don't worry. Gentlemen, put Remember this location well, we will come to look for the car when we come back.”

It is indeed a professional expedition team that often goes out into the field, but the quality of the personnel is different.

The seemingly messy things were quickly tidied up in their hands. Each of them was just a big hiking bag, which actually contained all their things.

In the whole team, Qian Qian and Mr. Suo Lang seemed to be the most relaxed.

The salutations of the two of them are stored in the body of the metal giant, so Qianqian now only needs a portable water bottle and a hiking stick.

And Mr. Solan is more relaxed than him. This one doesn't use a cane or cane. If it wasn't for cooperation, he wouldn't even bother to wear hiking shoes.

According to the previous rules, the guide Mr. Qiu Zeer and the team leader Mr. Cobir walked at the front of the team, while Qian Qian and Mr. Suo Lang were arranged at the back of the team.

The guides and leaders who walk in front are responsible for leading the way, while the humanoid Gesakuma who walks behind is responsible for protecting the safety of the entire team.

The forest area of ​​the round corner is vast and the vegetation is lush. In the depths of the forest, the trees cover the sky and are intertwined. Not to mention the road, it is difficult to find a place to set foot.

The so-called roads taken by the scientific expedition team members are just places that can tolerate human beings walking through.

But even so, the scientific expedition team had to stop for a while to find the road again.

The temperature in the dense forest in late summer and early autumn is not low. In addition to the heavy rains that have fallen before, the forest with very good water retention has accumulated most of the rainwater in the roots of the trees. As a result, not only the humidity in the forest exceeds the standard, but also the team members Our feet are also very slippery.

In this hot, stuffy, wet and slippery place, everyone walked very carefully.

"Wow——."

"Be careful."

Slipped on one foot and almost fell a piece of shit, Qianqian was supported by Mr. Suolan behind him.

The frightened Qian Qian let out a sigh of relief after he stood firm, looked at the team in front of him, gritted his teeth and followed without saying anything.

The professional mountaineering suits worn by the expedition members are constantly checking their body temperature. The mountaineering equipment with micro-adjustment equipment will adjust the temperature inside the clothes according to the body temperature, heartbeat and other data of the wearer.

But even so, after walking continuously for more than an hour, everyone gradually began to exhaust themselves.

After finding a location with a lot of gravel, the expedition team stopped to rest.

After arranging the group, Mr. Cobir, the team leader, walked up to Mr. Solange and the guide and said, "I just asked, the fresh water everyone carries is consumed very quickly, and I'm afraid we won't be able to support the supply point if this continues." .”

According to the original plan, they could reach a water source before dark and camp there to replenish the water source.

Because of this, when everyone left the vehicle, they didn't carry much fresh water on their bodies.

None of them expected that the forest would be so sweltering, and the people who were still dripping would naturally consume more water than expected.

Mr. Guide frowned slightly when he heard the words, thinking about how to solve this problem.

At this time, the leader of the team suddenly suggested, "Otherwise, please trouble Mr. Qiu Zeer, you are familiar with this area, why don't you lead us to the nearest water source to replenish fresh water first."

Mr. Guide frowned even more when he heard this. There are indeed other places nearby where you can get water, but they are not safe.

"What are you worrying about? We have Mr. Gesakumar and the sage around. With them by our side, what kind of danger can we encounter?"

"Excuse me, are you worried about fresh water? If so, there is no need. The fresh water carried by Mr. Solange is enough for us to use the reserved water intake point, and we can replenish fresh water there."

Hearing someone called a sage, and faintly hearing something like fresh water, Qianqian thought everyone was in trouble with water shortage, so he said so.

Mr. Corbill twitched his lips a few times when he heard the words, and then immediately replied with a smile on his face: "That would be great, then everyone should not rest for too long, and hurry up."
