"Scientific researcher?" Scarface said with a stunned face. "Look at me, I look like someone who has gone to college? You asked me to pretend to be a scientific researcher?"
"Well, botanist or zoologist. Of course, apart from scientists, a research team also needs to hire armed guards. Especially in those areas. And you look like an authentic South American." Sophia looked at Scarface. .
"There are indeed some of us who seem to be doing research." Lin Rui turned his head and looked at the actuary Jiang An, "I always thought that a person like you who wears glasses and gentleman is either a professor or an accountant.
And there are women in our team, beautiful women like Yelena, who will let the militants relax their vigilance. I think this idea is good. Most of us, it looks like they often work in the field. And those biologists should be similar. "
"I can help you make some fake certification documents, and help you deal with it very realistically. It can even be verified through the Internet." Sophia nodded. "Of course, this is what we do."
"I can think of a way for mules, horses and supplies." Scarface nodded. "I used to know a few people in Colombia. These people are smugglers. They have enough ways to get these. As long as they are willing to spend some money."
"You go and do it, but remember, don't startle the snake. Just follow Sophia's words. It's a group of research biologists going into the jungle to study insects or other animals." Lin Rui nodded.
After preparing, Lin Rui and others went on the road, while Sophia's shadow agent team remained in the city.
It is difficult to get there. They ride in a large rented truck. Then they had to rent another car to take them to a small village at the foot of the mountain. Walk from there.
But equipment and food must be carried in groups of mules. Crossing a path covered by dense forest, the mountain path is as steep as a flight of stairs.
"No wonder the guerrillas want to control this area. This is the best hiding place." Sausage said as he walked the mountain road. "It's no wonder they can fight guerrillas with government forces for decades here."
As the night approaches, the forest becomes bigger and bigger and darker. Except for their headlights, there is no other light source. They rely mainly on hearing to pass through narrow mud and smooth stones. Finally, at night, I arrived near the Sulamita River.
The team camped and got in touch with the shadow agent team.
"Call Sophia. We have now arrived at the Sulamita River as planned, and the sound of running water is almost here." Lin Rui called with a wireless communicator.
"I'm still used to you calling me the shadow broker." Sophia replied, "I can see your location, the signal by the river is very good, and it is very clear in satellite positioning. You have entered the designated area, starting tomorrow You want to search this area.
We are not idle either. This day’s work has helped you determine the locations of several suspected secret agency bases. I will send you the coordinates, be careful, maybe the enemy is around. "
"Understood. The coordinate data reception is complete." Lin Rui nodded and talked a few words with Sophia before cutting off the communication.
Yelena came over and handed Lin Rui a cup of hot drink. They can't use open flames in the jungle, they all use self-heating packages to heat food and hot drinks. Lin Rui took the cup and nodded, "How about brothers?"
"It's okay, the alert and night rotation have been arranged." Yelena whispered.
"This jungle is very unsafe. You have to be careful at night. In addition, you have to tell the brothers to be careful of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects. Try to avoid the bushes and grass." Lin Rui nodded. They are all people who have experienced the African jungle, but they still dare not take it lightly here.
This is the densest jungle in the world, like a green blanket covering the endless mountains. Steep canyons, torrential waterfalls and roaring torrents.
The annual precipitation exceeds 3000 mm, and floods and landslides occur from time to time. Frequent mudslides can swallow a living person in an instant. Deadly poisonous snakes and jaguars roam the lower part of the jungle, and the barbs of cat's claw vines can easily tear people's skins and clothes.
Here, even the veteran explorer with a machete and saw can only travel three or four kilometers in a day of hard exploration for ten hours.
In fact, even though they were so careful, something happened the next day. The Russian was bitten by an ant early in the morning.
Lin Rui emphasized that all team members should use mosquito repellent on a regular basis, spraying from head to toe, clothes, and even all over the body after dark.
Moreover, scorpions and spiders crawl into boots at night, so you have to buckle your boots upside down on the stakes and shake them clean every morning before putting on your boots.
There is also a kind of poisonous ants that live in groups in the bushes. As long as the treetops tremble a little, the ants will fall off like rain, get into people's hair and necks, and bite wildly. This kind of ant has a terrifying name, called bullet ant.
This bullet ant is a different kind of ant family. Their body length is about 3 cm and their body size is about 5 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 glumes and sharp and poisonous tail spines; from a closer look, they are ants, who like to wield a pair of tongs.
The pain after being bitten by a bullet ant is like being hit by a bullet, so they have this domineering name. The Russian didn't know how powerful it was. After being bitten, he rolled around in pain. His forehead is full of sweat.
"It feels like having a rusty nail stuck into your neck and then throwing in a piece of red charcoal." Sergey couldn't help groaning.
"How could this be?" 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 last for a few hours. They can't move inside. But if they are bitten by many bullet ants, they may endanger their lives." The actuary shook his head and said.
"He was bitten twice and he was already red and swollen. Damn, I've never seen such a situation." Sausage shook his head while inspecting Sergey's injury.
"The good news is that it is not fatal, but the Russians have to suffer for at least 24 hours. There will be no abation during this period." The actuary shook his head and said. "There is no other way."
"He looks 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 Sulamita River. The presence of water means that there will be a lot of animals. . We must stay here and wait until the Russians recover."
