"Scientific researcher?" Scarface said in astonishment, "Look at me, I look like someone who has gone to college? You want me to pretend to be a scientific researcher?"
"Well, a botanist or a zoologist. Of course, in addition to scientists, a research team also needs to hire armed guards. Especially when operating in those areas. And you look like an authentic South American." Sophia looked at Scarface .
"Some of us do seem to be doing research." Lin Rui turned his head and looked at the actuary Jiang An, "I always thought that people like you who wear glasses and are gentle and polite are either professors or accountants.
¡°And there are women in our team. Beauties like Yelena will also make the militants relax their vigilance. I think this is a good idea. Most of us look like we work in the field a lot. And those biologists should be similar. "
"I can help you create some fake certification documents and make them very realistic. They can even be verified through the Internet." Sophia nodded. "Of course, that's what we do."
"I can think of ways to provide mules, horses, supplies and equipment." Scarface nodded. "I used to know a few people in Colombia. These people are smugglers. They have enough access to get these. As long as they are willing to spend some money."
"You go and do it, but remember, don't alert the snake. Just follow Sophia's words. Just say that a group of research biologists are going into the jungle to study insects or other animals." Lin Rui nodded.
After preparations were completed, Lin Rui and others set out on the road, while Sophia¡¯s shadow agent team stayed in the city.
Getting there is difficult. They were traveling in a large rented truck. Then another car had to be rented to take them to a small village at the foot of the mountain. Walk from there.
But equipment and food had to be carried on packs of mules. Passing through a path covered by dense forest, the mountain road is as steep as a staircase.
¡°No wonder the guerrillas want to control this area, this is the best hiding place.¡± Sausage said while walking along the mountain road. "It's no wonder they have been fighting guerrillas against the government forces here for decades."
As night approaches, the forest grows larger and darker. With no other source of light other than their headlamps, they relied primarily on hearing to navigate narrow patches of mud and slippery stone. Finally at night, we arrived near the Suramita River.
The team camped and got in touch with the Shadow Broker team.
"Call Sophia. We have arrived at the Suramita River as planned, and the sound of running water is almost around us." Lin Rui called through a wireless communicator.
"I'm still used to you calling me Shadow Agent." Sophia replied, "I can see your location. The signal by the river is very good, and the satellite positioning is very clear. You have entered the designated area, starting tomorrow You need to search this area.
We have not been idle. In this day's work, we have helped you determine the locations of several suspected secret society bases. I'll send you the coordinates right now. Be careful, maybe enemies are around. "
"Understood. The coordinate data reception is completed." Lin Rui nodded and talked to Sophia for a few words before cutting off the communication.
Yelena came over and handed Lin Rui a hot drink. They cannot use open flames in the jungle, so they use self-heating bags to heat food and hot drinks. Lin Rui took the cup and nodded, "How are you, brothers?"
"Everything is fine, the guard and night shifts have been arranged." Yelena whispered.
"This jungle is very unsafe. You have to be careful at night. In addition, I have to tell the brothers to be careful of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects. Try to avoid the trees and grass." Lin Rui nodded. They are all people who have experienced the African jungle, but they still dare not take it lightly when they get here.
This is the densest jungle in the world, covering the rolling mountains like a green blanket. Steep canyons, cascading waterfalls and roaring torrents.
The annual precipitation exceeds 3,000 mm, and floods and landslides occur from time to time. Frequent mudslides can swallow a living person in an instant. Deadly venomous snakes and jaguars roam the lower levels of the jungle, and the hooks and barbs of cat's claw can easily tear apart people's skin, flesh, and clothing.
Here, even experienced explorers carrying machetes and saws can only advance three to four thousand meters after working hard for more than ten hours a day.
In fact, even though they were so careful, something happened the next day. The Russian guy was bitten by ants early in the morning.
Lin Rui has emphasized before that all team members must use DEET regularly, from head to toe, and on their clothes. After dark, it must be sprayed all over the body.
¡°Also, scorpions and spiders crawl into boots at night, so?The boots were placed upside down on the stakes and they were shaken out every morning before putting them on.
There is also a kind of poisonous ant that lives in groups in the bushes. As long as the treetops tremble slightly, the ants will fall down like rain, get into people's hair and necks, and bite like crazy. This kind of ant has a scary name, called bullet ant.
This kind of bullet ant is an alien species of the ant family. Their body length is about 3 centimeters and their size is about five times that of ordinary ants. They are one of the largest ant species in the world. From a distance, they look like some kind of bee, with strong and powerful upper spines and sharp, poisonous tail stings; from a close look, they look like ants, which like to show off their power by wielding a pair of large pincers.
The pain after being bitten by bullet ants is like being hit by a bullet, so they have this domineering name. The Russian guy didn't know how serious it was. After being bitten, he rolled on the ground in pain. His forehead was covered with sweat.
"It felt like a rusty nail was driven into the neck, and then a piece of red charcoal was thrown into it." Sergey couldn't help but groan.
"How could this happen?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Bullet ants. Under normal circumstances, being bitten by one or two bullet ants will not hurt your life, but the pain will spread quickly. Sometimes even if his hand is bitten, his shoulder will hurt, and even his entire arm may hurt within a few hours. You can't move inside. But if you are bitten by many bullet ants, it may be life-threatening." Actuary Masami shook his head.
"He was bitten twice, and it's already red and swollen. Damn it, I've never seen anything like this." Sausage looked at Sergey's injuries and shook his head.
"The good news is that it is not fatal, but the Russian will have to be in pain for at least twenty-four hours. There will be no weakening during this period." Actuary Masaki shook his head. "There is no other way."
"With him like this, we can't move. It seems we have to stay here for one more day." Lin Rui looked around, "Everyone, be careful. We are close to the Suramita River. The presence of water means there will be a lot of animals." . We must stay here until the Russians recover."
