Chapter 1838: Deep in the swamp

There are many places in this world that have an indescribable sense of powerlessness due to their unique geographical environment, and "swamp" is one of them. Speaking of swamps, people generally think of "escape" rather than "survival". It is hard to imagine that someone will live in swamps all year round, with danger and mud.
Swamp is a dangerous environment. In the swamp terrain, there are mud puddles full of dangerous places. If you are not careful, it will be forever. So many people think this is a terrible place, a place where creatures die, or even a place where dead creatures live. But in fact, swamps have their unique and important position in the world's ecosystem.
The true wild survivor knows the benefits of marshland. There is no shortage of water and food, it is quiet and can avoid outside disturbance. Except for crocodiles and insects, you don't have to worry about other problems.
When Lin Rui led people into this swamp, he was still infected by the sights here.
The wildness and suspense of African swamps are everywhere here, the misty waters and meadows, the intertwined trees and vines, the weather seems to never be sunny, everyone can smell the smell of moss and the coolness of the cloudy sky. There are dense forests that are impenetrable there, mists that cannot be shaken away, and dead wood leaning across the water.
Because of the cold and dark all year round, the eyes are full of ferns growing wantonly, and there are large tracts of unsightly woods. The extremely desolate and depressing atmosphere makes people unable to see the end.
"Damn, I hate this place." Sergey whispered.
"Shut up, Russian guy, you will kill us." Sandro whispered. "I hope there are no crocodiles here. My fear of this thing is beyond description." He said as he propped the boat forward with a long wooden pole.
Their boat was found by Crazy Horse and Biscuit, and the small wooden boat used by the locals felt slightly larger than the canoe. The local blacks used such boats to fish in the water. It's just that this ship is a bit too small for Lin Rui and the others.
They had to ride separately, and four such boats traveled through this strange swamp. While looking at the electronic map, Lin Rui whispered while pressing the earphone, "Be careful, this is in action, not when joking. Observe the surroundings and don’t make any noise. We are approaching a security that has not yet been confirmed. area."
It is quite cool in the virgin jungle, but the vegetation on the ground will hinder their path. Moreover, the visibility of the fog in the woods is only about 50 meters away, it is easy to get lost, and it is difficult to find people lost in the woods from the air. They must always be vigilant.
Crazy Horse and Snake Eye are the most experienced players in swamp terrain. So Crazy Horse and Snake Eye are both in front of the team, quietly pushing the boat forward with the help of wooden poles. After padding forward for a while, Crazy Horse suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture. The rest of the players stopped their movements and lay low on the boat, holding their weapons.
Crazy Horse's gesture signaled that he had discovered something. After confirming the safety of his surroundings, he rowed the boat and stopped near a vine.
Lin Ruihe rowed the boat from behind and whispered, "What's the matter?"
"A suspicious trace was found." Crazy Horse whispered. "Look here." He pointed to a thick vine in a low voice.
"This was cut off artificially." Lin Rui whispered.
Crazy Horse nodded, "This kind of small shrubs and various vines can grow about 2 to 3 meters in height each year, and can quickly block the road. So walking through the swamp will be slow and difficult, often with the help of wide blades. A knife or a Malay machete can be used to cut the path. Despite hard work, the visibility may not exceed a few meters. Many jungle plants have thorns, and dense jungles will make you unable to walk through or even desperate.
Obviously someone had come here to look at the cutting edge of this vine. This is by no means the machete used by the locals, but caused by other blades. Because the local people's machete is very sharp, suitable for dealing with this kind of vine, it also has a certain weight, swing it out, this kind of vine will be easily cut off. But the knife edge on this vine is not so neat. "
"Indeed." Lin Rui took a closer look, frowning, "This looks like a cutting method. The knife used is very sharp, but it is not heavy. That's why such an incision was made. Moreover, it seems that this is also It’s not like to clear the way. But what does this mean?"
"First, it shows that this was not done by the local villagers." Crazy Horse whispered, "Second, the purpose of these people is not to open the way."
"It's not to open the road, but use a knife to chop down the vines." Lin Rui nodded, "I understand, these vines are used to cover their camps. Add a layer of green plants on the camouflage net to hide. So they There is no need for a machete to prevent the branches and leaves from being shaken off too much. They lose their hiding effect."
Crazy Horse nodded and said in a low voice, "Under normal circumstances, they will not pick plants around the camp. So at least it means that we are still some distance away from their camp, but it will never be too far."
Lin Rui whispered, "Everyone is following, but slow down. Be careful, we are close to the target. Be prepared for a fight anytime."
The team members nodded their heads and followed their boats to slide forward. They go slower and more careful. In order to avoid making noises, the punting movement is also very careful to avoid the sound of hitting the water.
After half an hour, Crazy Horse's boat stopped. He observed with a telescope, then slowly backed away, and made a gesture to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui knew that he had discovered something, and leaned forward on the boat, stopped under a tree, and took out his binoculars to peek ahead.
"A simple camp set up on the water." Lin Rui whispered, "A big platform and two small boats. There is a tree house on a high place at ten o'clock with a guard post on it. The gunman is on it, you can watch To everything around."
"There are three simple buildings in the camp on the platform. From the perspective of the number of people, there should be at most a dozen people." Jiang An also whispered.
"Great, shall we do it?" Sandro was eager to try.
Lin Rui shook his head, "No, I always think it won't be that simple. We'd better not move before we figure out the other side's defense alert."
Jiang An nodded, "I agree, and if we pass now, it is easy to be spotted by the people in the tree house. If we rush over, there will be a rain of bullets waiting for us. We have to try to divert their attention. Or get rid of it first. Drop the guard on the tree house."
