Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 10: There is something in the water
Lin Shuo didn't sleep that night.
Different from the man in charge of the night watch in the mercenary, he was dressed in roe deer skin, away from the campfire, sitting in the shadow of the corner of the camp.
Myna Bird didn't go to the woods this night, but stood honestly on Lin Shuo's shoulder.
This person is leaning on a huge recurve bow on the rock beside the bird.
In this situation, when Anne opened her eyes in the morning, she felt as if she saw a group of statues.
But she didn't say anything, but got up quickly, went to the river to fetch a jar of water, and a towel, and handed it to Lin Shuo:
"Mr. Lin, you have worked hard, let's freshen up."
Lin Shuo nodded, took the things and turned back into the woods.
"Brother Shuo, did you find out." Myna Bird's voice came out of the forest, "This lady, I have a tacit understanding with you."
"..."
"Brother Shuo, there are three generations of the Lin family single pass, and now you are the only one left. Speaking of which, Brother Shuo, you are also the boss."
"..."
"Brother Shuo, the birds in this city, I think it's a good hook, you can do it at a nod."
"Xiao Ba, the bird below you, don't you want it anymore?"
"Brother Shuo, I was wrong."
……
Today is another sunny day. As the sun comes out, the ground temperature gradually rises.
Everyone set off early and headed towards the chain bridge.
Lin Shuo did not choose to continue to open the road, but let Wei Xingshan carry three mercenaries in front of him.
He himself, along with Xiao Ba, followed behind the main force, keeping a distance of more than 100 meters.
Everyone dared not have any objections to Lin Shuo's arrangement, and no one asked why.
Walking out for about three kilometers, approaching the chain bridge, Lin Shuo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and slowly followed.
The strange and unknown creature stared at the group of people in the distance all night, seeming to be observing something, and now finally left.
Meeting with the large group, everyone is already thinking about how to cross the bridge.
The river surface here is considered the narrowest water area nearby, but it is also more than fifty meters wide.
The chain bridge across the two banks looks okay from a distance. When I walked to the front, I found that it had been rusty long ago, and the wooden planks on the bridge deck were rotten crisply, with holes in each foot.
The bridge is more than ten meters away from the surface of the water. The river below is not only turbulent, but also hidden in the reef. The large and small eddies on the surface of the river are like open mouths, looking infiltrating people.
If it really falls, the fish may be fine, and people will definitely not survive.
Lin Shuo walked on the edge of the bridge and found Wei Xingshan was swaying the iron cables on the bridge.
The man was so strong that he shook the entire bridge with a single hand shake.
The bridge decks that have been corroded a long time ago swayed from side to side with the chain bridge and fell down.
When Wei Xingshan saw the scene, he simply held the big iron chain with both hands and shook it vigorously.
After a while, the bridge boards were all shaken away, leaving only four bare iron cables. The lower two are juxtaposed, originally covered with bridge slabs, and there are two on the left and right, which were originally the handrails of this chain bridge.
"Okay." Wei Xingshan clapped his hands. "These chains are still strong. These bridges are all rotten, which is a bad thing."
After saying this, Wei Xingshan looked back at He Zihong again, and said, "Professor He, I will take a few people to fumble over the iron wire. Don't worry. When we go over to find out the situation on the other side, we will fight on both sides of the strait. A zipline. You and Dr. Yang, Miss Anne, use our zipline to go over. It’s safer."
"Yes, Professor He." Deputy Captain Liu Qing also smiled, "This kind of zipline is equivalent to letting you sit on three-strand safety ropes and slide over with steel buckles. Don't worry, our technology is very mature. Don’t look like it’s floating, it’s actually safe and comfortable."
"Then there will be Captain Lau Wei and Captain Liu." Professor He smiled and nodded.
Since the team entered the forest, the performance of Wei Xingshan and Liu Qing has gradually been recognized by two scholars, He Zihong and Yang Tuo.
Especially Wei Xingshan, a mercenary leader who looks vulgar, is actually very careful, and everything is for the safety of the team.
After explaining this, Wei Xingshan put a zipline kit on his back, and was about to set off, only to find that Lin Shuo was standing between himself and the chain bridge.
Yesterday during the day, the **** Lin Shuo blocked in front of Wei Xingshan left an indelible impression on the mercenary leader.
At this moment, in Wei Xingshan's mind, Lin Shuo has changed from a magic stick who pretended to be a ghost to a mysterious man, and he owed him a life.
So this giant man had a very good attitude, and asked: "Mr. Lin, what's the matter with you?"
I saw Lin Shuo bend down slightly, nose close to the iron rope, sniffed carefully, and then slowly raised his head: "No."
"What's wrong?"
"There is a fishy smell." Lin Shuo said these three words, and then ordered, "Captain Wei, you take your group of brothers and cut some trees in the nearby forest. The bigger the better. The other people stay away. Rest on the river surface."
Wei Xingshan glanced at Lin Shuo with a look of confusion, but instead of questioning Lin Shuo, he looked at Anne.
Anne didn't even look at him straight: "Look at what I do? Mr. Lin is what he says."
Wei Xingshan had to turn around and tell the mercenaries to follow suit. This group of soldiers were obedient, put down their bags one after another, and walked into the woods with axe and machetes.
Wang Yong was the last one to leave, and smiled before entering the forest:
"Team Wei, I didn’t eat well last night. I didn’t have enough nutrition. Since Mr. Lin ordered the tree-cutting task, we must do it. However, can we eat meat at night?"
"Fuck me!" Wei Xingshan cursed, slapped Wang Yong's **** and kicked him into the woods. He also took a hand axe himself and followed.
There is still some time before noon. According to the current route, another five kilometers after crossing the river is the destination of this trip.
So everyone was not in a hurry. The mercenaries went to the woods to chop the trees, while the others left some distance from the river and sat down to rest.
"Mr. Lin, why let everyone cut down the trees?" Liu Qing leaned over at this moment and asked Lin Shuo.
"Just in case." Lin Shuo said lightly while looking at the surface of the river.
"Can you tell me more specifically?" After asking this sentence, Liu Qing explained with a smile, "Look, this kind of wild survival experience is also very important to our profession. If you don’t hesitate to enlighten me If it is, it is tantamount to saving our lives."
Lin Shuo looked up at the woman.
Short hair, wheat-colored skin, far less beautiful than Anne, but this woman has delicate features, looks pleasing to the eye and speaks well.
"There is something in the water." Lin Shuo lowered his head and said slowly.
When the people present heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at each other a few times.
"What is it?" Yang Tuo asked.
"I don't know yet." Lin Shuo shook his head, "but there is nothing wrong with being careful."
……
Everyone rested for more than two hours, there was a sound from the woods, and the mercenaries returned from logging.
These guys are not lazy. Lin Shuo said that the bigger the better, the two of them are in groups, carrying seven red-skin spruce trees. The branches of the tree have been cleaned up by these men, and only the trunks are left, all with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters.
Wei Xingshan took the lead. The whole body of this man was soaked with sweat. He carried the largest red-skin spruce by himself, and moved towards Lin Shuo:
"Mr. Lin, how about it, big enough, right?"
"Not bad." Lin Shuo looked up.
"And then?" Wei Xingshan asked, panting.
Liu Qing saw the clue and asked softly, "Mr. Lin is going to pave the bridge?"
"Yeah." Lin Shuo nodded.
"What a waste of time." Liu Qing puzzled.
Lin Shuo frowned slightly, just about to say something, but heard Anne say: "Mr. Lin should be thinking about crossing the bridge, let us have room under our feet?"
Lin Shuo glanced at Anne~IndoMTL.com~ with a slightly surprised expression, then he nodded and said: "Yes, otherwise people will just pass by, whether it's walking slowly by feeling the iron rope or sliding on the sling. In the past, there was no chance to dodge, and that would be a living target. My feet will be unstable and I will not be able to take care of you."
"Is it so dangerous?" Liu Qing asked.
Lin Shuo looked around the people slowly and said:
"There is a village five kilometers nearby. It stands to reason that this is an important traffic road. This bridge shouldn't be so deserted. But the bridge surface is so bad that no one has repaired it and no one cares. Don't you think it is abnormal?"
"It makes sense." Wei Xingshan seemed to understand, "It's not because the bridge is broken, so no one goes. It's because no one dared to go, so the bridge is broken."
Lin Shuo glanced at Wei Xingshan: "Why is your mind suddenly clear?"
"Hey." Wei Xingshan gave a dry smile, without answering.
"I agree with Mr. Lin's approach." Elder He Zihong said at this time, "No matter what, repairing the bridge and paving the road is worthless. Besides, we will not only take a trip on this bridge, but also return. It is better to join us together. Go ahead. Xiao Yang, can you help Mr. Lin map the width of the bridge deck."
"Yes, teacher." Yang Tuo responded and pulled out a tape measure from his bag.
"Watch out!"
As Yang Tuo approached the chain bridge, Lin Shuo's expression suddenly tightened and pulled Yang Tuo back.
