Chapter 6: The Lost City of the Ganges (Mercenaries)
The sun shook through the sky, revealing the whiteness of the fish belly. From our direction, you can clearly see the collapsed ice cubes on the south slope, sucking in the woods below, burying a piece of ice.
There were traces of mudslides everywhere. Kaka and I looked at the map. It should be because she also had a copy, so when we looked, Kaka had a deep understanding of this Indian jungle. She quickly sorted out a way out.
According to her words, we must find the source of the Ganges River and follow the Ganges River. That is the fastest and least easy way to lose direction!
After all, people have a poor sense of direction in the dense forest, and it is difficult to distinguish between the north and the south. The world has a commonality, that is, all civilizations are formed by relying on rivers.
So after we find the Ganges River, we will definitely reach the designated location soon!
Kaka took us downstream along the way, walking in the dense forest. To be honest, it was really a torment. You will always feel that your body is in a wet state, and it is like a layer of water vapor is covered with.
Dehydration has become a big problem during our walking process. In the tropical rainforest, the dehydration speed is even faster than in the desert. You will lose water unconsciously and then faint inexplicably.
Kaka told me that this forest belt covers swamps and dense thorns. Although it seems that although the water is crisscrossing, 99% cannot be referenced. I heard the black line at the back. I was in the rain forest, and there were water sources everywhere. We had to endure the dry mouth and rush to the road.
"Everyone insist, let's go further and we can find drinking water."
Kaka shouted to the back, and the soldiers responded quickly. Qian Nanmu rarely spoke, and they followed us with his head. However, Professor Zhou was very attentive to her.
Xiaoyao also secretly teased me that the guy was going to dig my corner. I glanced at Qian Nanmu helplessly and found that he and Professor Zhou seemed to be very compatible.
It was not easy to bother others, so I had to bury my head and lead the way with Kaka. When I walked forward, I heard the sound of water flowing, while Kaka showed joy.
“We’re here”
After saying that, he took the lead and ran out. From our position, he could see a small waterfall falling from above, sucking on the stone slab below, making a crisp sound.
And below the small waterfall, there is a small pool of water that connects the wide flat ground.
"This is the only water intake place for animals and hunters nearby, and it is also one of the small tributaries of the Ganges River."
Kaka pointed at the waterfall.
We were happy when we heard this and were about to run up to get water, but Kaka stopped us.
"Wait for two minutes!"
She said, we looked at her with confusion, and she saw that we were confused, so she explained.
"In this dense forest, there is an unwritten rule, that is, give water to animals, and hunters will not hunt animals that come to drink water. We have maintained this delicate balance between each other for hundreds of years."
After hearing Kaka's words, we suddenly realized that I asked them to wait a moment, and soon some animals appeared in front of the waterfall and then lowered their heads to drink water.
Wild boars, deer, and some wild sheep. They bow their heads and drink water, but some specialize in venting air, so they take turns.
When we finished our business and walked away, Kaka signaled us to go out. Seeing that we could drink water and were almost on fire, we rushed over as if we had slaughtered j blood.
After a crazi meal, everyone lay on the stone slabs to rest with satisfaction. Because of the flow of water, it was much cooler than in the dense forest.
So naturally I am happy to stay wherever I am, but Kaka soon discovered something wrong.
"Look at this place, we didn't come from here just now, right?"
Kaka pointed to the ramp on one side.
I glanced at some point when I heard this and found a row of messy footprints on the slope.
"Maybe the hunter is coming to get water."
One of the soldiers and kids.
"It's not a hunter. Here, for better hunting, the shoes that hunters wear are straw sandals. If they step on the ground, they will not make any sound, and straw sandals will not cause such traces."
Kaka analyzed.
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but take a look at those steps, and Xiaoyao put it on to check it out, and saw him touching along a clearer footprint with his hands.
He quickly came to the conclusion. After he stood up, he stepped on the footprints and printed a footprint with similar patterns.
"We are wearing military special shoes, and these footprints are not domestic shoes. They are likely to come from one place."
Xiaoyao Dao.
"Young Master, are you talking about those people?"
The Eighth Master spoke.
"It is not ruled out that they are a group of people who can do everything for money, and the footprints of this kind of shoe often appear in the market where they trade, so people should come."
"If you two don't say anything we can understand, who is the footprint?"
I asked.
"Most of the mercenary groups in Western Europe come from East Africa or northern Europe. Because they are mostly veterans, their combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying. They serve wealthy merchants and do everything they can to kill, burn, and grab money."
"You mean we are likely to encounter them in this mission?"
I frowned.
"It is very likely that they either pass by or have the same purpose as us. I hope we don't meet too early. Those guys are all killing people without blinking."
Xiaoyao sighed.
I also sighed in my heart, thinking that this mission is probably unprecedentedly difficult.
Not only did you have to face a foreign government, but you also had to face a mercenary group that ran out inexplicably. This was not like a tomb robber, but a robbery.
"Hurry up and replenish the water and then we will continue on the road."
I made a decision immediately, staying can’t solve the problem, and the key is to find out the opponent’s strength as soon as possible.
So they quickly replenished the water with a water bag, and Kaka took it with us. We continued on the road. Kaka is an excellent hunter. When she was walking in the jungle, she was like a cheetah, keen and alert.
In order to avoid alerting the snake, we walked very lightly. Following the originally planned route, we quickly found the Ganges River Basin. We had previously agreed to walk along the river, completely disrupted by the sudden messy steps.
The river in the Ganges River Basin is also full of messy steps, very dense and hasty, and it must be because of the danger.
"You guys look here"
The Eighth Master suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing this, we ran over, and a soldier who was accompanying touched the tree that Baye pointed at, and then pulled open the bark.
"Is it a bullet or an assault rifle bullet"
He said.
"Go to the woods first, let's not go to the river to carry it."
I said, and took them into the forest. Through the dense leaves, we could vaguely see the river outside, and there were more and more bullet holes in the surrounding trees.
It should be when they left that they had a fierce exchange of fire, and depending on the density, the battle at that time was very fierce.
