Chapter 3170: Deadly Conch

"What can he do?" George shook his head.
"Let me remind you that the other party is a very good mercenary, and his task is to us to the United States. Originally, he tried his best to let us land on this deserted island to restrict our escape until his reinforcements. Arrived. And now, we have prepared the raft and will leave at any time. In this case, what do you guess he will do?" Barea sneered.
George nodded, "I understand, he will come out to stop us himself."
Barea nodded and said, "Yes, this will leave him no choice but to venture out and stop us. It doesn't matter whether we can escape with a raft, what matters is that we can take this opportunity to kill him."
"You mean, we swaggered to make rafts, prepare food and fresh water. We acted like we wanted to leave, forcing him to stop us. Then take the opportunity to kill him?" George whispered.
Barea nodded, "When the Yankee reinforcements will arrive, we may still be uncertain. Although this danger exists, it is not as practical as the danger posed by the mercenary next to me."
"I understand." George nodded. "We won't do it too soon. After all, our arm injury hasn't healed. Every time I see my arm, I want to kill the mercenary."
Barea nodded, "We will now go down the mountain to prepare the raft, store food and enough fresh water."
"He should still be observing us in secret, so it's his turn to be anxious." George understood.
Lin Rui waited for a while in the crevice, and found that Barea and George had gone down the mountain. He didn't dare to come out directly, fearing that the other party would want to catch it. Instead, he came out of the cracks in the rock until it was dark at night. Taking advantage of no one, I searched underwater for a long time, but couldn't find my M4, so I could only come up from the water again. Cold and hungry, Lin Rui could only eat the last bit of individual rations.
However, he felt a little abnormal about the sudden departure of the two of Barea, so he took a short break and then came down from the mountain, found a convenient place for observation, and continued to observe the movements of Barea and others.
This time he finally found something. Barea and others are picking up some wood and tying them together with parachute ropes, which seems to be making a raft. Lin Rui couldn't sit still anymore. Although he didn't know the location of this small island, according to his previous judgment, it should be some distance from the west coast of Africa. He opened the electronic map he carried when parachuting and found that the current position was quite subtle. Although there is still some distance from the mainland, it is impossible to reach by raft.
But if there are other small islands around, the situation becomes a bit more complicated. Barea and others can use the raft to drift to the nearby inhabited island, and then try to escape. In this way, the plan to use the island to trap them will fail.
Lin Rui looked at the map, searched a little with his hand, and finally stopped his finger in a position.
From the map, they are most likely to reach the location by raft, which should be the Canary Islands. This is a volcanic archipelago off the northwest coast of the African continent. It is about 130 kilometers away from the west coast of Africa in the east and about 1,100 kilometers away from Xipan in the northeast. The island group is distributed in an arc shape and is about 480 kilometers long. It consists of 7 main islands and several small islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Palma, La Gomera, Ferro, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
If this is the case, it means that Barea and others do not need to raft to the west coast of Africa, only need to reach the Canary Islands. Although I don’t know how far it is from the Canary Islands, it should not be too far from the time of their parachuting. If you drift along the Canary Ocean to the southeast, you should have a high probability of reaching the Canary Islands. An island in.
"Damn it. They want to escape." Lin Rui frowned, and the US search and rescue team had not arrived yet, if the two Red Tide members Barea and George flee in this gap. Then all the previous efforts were in vain.
"No, we must try to stop them." Lin Rui gritted his teeth secretly, but now his weapons are lost, only a paratrooper knife is left.
After thinking about it, he decided to take local materials and make weapons. The first thing he thought of was bows and arrows. There are some very flexible trees on this island. If they are processed and cut, they can be made into a good bow. Arrows can be cut from small branches. If it can be equipped with a metal arrow, the lethality should be good. Thinking of this, Lin Rui immediately started to make a bow. He used a large, tough and strong rattan on the island to make the bow body, and made the bowstring with umbrella rope, and then flattened it with a bullet shell. Made into arrows.
Lin Rui tried it, and the pulling force was sufficient. Although the muzzle velocity was not as good as Crazy Horse's compound bow, it was good for this straight-drawn bow to have such a muzzle velocity. The sharply ground arrow can be firmly set on the trunk after being shot through this bow. Lin Rui pulled it out with his hand, feeling very stable. This shows that the strength of the bow is large enough, and the sharpness of the arrow should be fine.
The only fly in the ointment is accuracy. Because such bows and arrows are all self-made, the accuracy is difficult to guarantee beyond 20 meters. However, Lin Rui wasn't so enthusiastic enough to think that he could use this to fight two Red Tide players armed with automatic weapons. He used the traditional African tribal method. Originally, he wanted to catch a few poisonous snakes on the island, squeeze out the venom, and then soak the arrow to make a poisonous arrow. But he didn't find snakes after wandering for a long time, maybe there are no snakes on this island.
However, Lin Rui found something more effective, a kind of conch on the beach. This kind of conch is called Conch Snail, also known as Conch. Conch snails are very toxic.
The venom of Conch snails contains hundreds of different ingredients, and the composition of different species varies greatly. These different toxins are called conotoxins, which consist of different peptides and target a specific nerve channel or receptor.
This toxin also contains analgesic ingredients, which can make the prey immobile and calm before death. Some conch snails contain tetrodotoxin, which is the same as the neuroparalytic toxin in puffer fish. This toxin is found in puffer fish and blue-ringed octopus.
One conch snail has enough toxin to kill 10 people. Its toxins are usually targeted at small fishes. Because humans and fish have similar nervous systems, this makes humans also vulnerable to conch snails. Scientists have discovered more than 100 compounds in the toxin of Conch snails. Among them, there are compounds that block the nervous system from transmitting information. This compound makes the organism die without any feeling because the nervous system cannot transmit information.
Since its toxin is injected into the human body, the human body will not feel pain because it paralyzes the nerves, so its toxin can be used to extract anesthetics. Some African witch doctors use this venom as an anesthetic after being diluted.
