Chapter 4674: out on a limb

In places other than tropical rainforests, there are many ways to tell the direction, but when deep in the rainforest, it is difficult to determine where the sun is due to the blocking of the dense canopy. At this time, you can only rely on compass or GPS to confirm the direction.
But Lin Rui and the others escaped, except for a few weapons snatched from the guards, no other equipment.
Inside the tropical rain forest, there is no such thing as "dry", all places are humid and sultry.
Because a large number of trees block the air circulation, walking in the rain forest, you will feel that you are walking in a steamer. The air humidity is maintained at 80%-99% all year round, which causes a big problem.
Lin Rui and the others rushed all the way, sweating heavily, but the sweat couldn't dry, and all the clothes felt sticky to them.
This is also a big problem, because when sweat sticks to the body for a long time, the salt and sebum metabolized by humans will provide a very good culture medium for bacteria. Bacteria will multiply on the body and cause skin inflammation. In the absence of any medication, skin inflammation occurs, which is likely to continue to worsen.
Due to the humidity, there are a lot of locusts in tropical areas, and there are many species. The locust is arguably the most annoying creature in the tropical rain forest. From as thin as a silk thread to as big as a ping-pong ball, all kinds of locusts are eye-opening. And the tragedy is that so far there is actually no one thing that can completely protect the locusts.
Because these things are not only in the water, but on the ground. They will be in high places, such as trees. Once you find animals passing by, they will immediately fall on you from the leaves without you knowing.
After sucking blood, he left quietly. If it's just sucking blood, it's fine. But the wounds they sucked blood will last for a long time without healing, and there will be various bacteria and viruses in their mouths, increasing your risk of infection.
Two days after Lin Rui and others escaped from the camp, someone fell ill. This time it was a black mercenary who fell ill. Lin Rui remembered that he was also a veteran. He followed Lincoln in Group B before. This person has been feverish, and he slowed down the whole team alone.
"Boss, his condition is not so good." Sausage whispered. "There is no obvious wound on the body, nor is it bitten by a poisonous insect or a poisonous snake. It is just like that."
"It may be an infection. There are microbes everywhere in this place. But once the body has a little trauma, or just the skin is reddened by clothes, in short, as long as there is any damage to the epidermis, or if it is not clean after eating Food, these microorganisms will cause a lot of trouble.
Viruses and bacteria will make the body swollen and inflamed very quickly. If you eat unclean food, it will cause inflammation of the digestive system. "The actuary inspected the mercenary and shook his head in a low voice. "If these are medicines, it is not a big problem, but the problem now is that we don't have medicines." "
"Not only do we have no drugs, we don't have DEET anymore. If we continue this way, even if the mosquitoes don’t us dry, we will all be infected with malaria." Kuaima spread out his palm, and inside was a one. Mosquitoes.
"The front is a swamp." Lin Rui nodded and said, "Apply the mud of the swamp on the body and face to cover up the sweat on the body and reduce the mosquitoes. Moreover, the mud can also stop the mosquitoes when the mud is dry. It can also be emergency."
He paused, looked at the black mercenary sitting next to the tree, and whispered, "We won't abandon you, brother. Do you think you can do it?"
The black mercenary nodded.
Lin Rui stood up and said, "You send two brothers to take care of him. You must ensure that he does not fall behind. We have to find a way through the swamp now. The enemy has not given up chasing us."
"Boss, this doesn't work. We don't have communication equipment, let alone GPS, not even a compass. To get out of this jungle, it's a joke." Sergey shook his head. "Let me say, we might as well just turn around and fight with them."
"Typical Russian thinking, they know how to do it." Kuaima shook his head. "There are far more enemies than we are. We are only a dozen people.
Even if we go back, we can kill more than a hundred enemies with one as ten. In the end we will be killed. You have seen the scale of the camp, there are more than 100 people there. It's easy to eat us. "
"Then what do you say?" Sergey said angrily.
"Use this jungle to consume them slowly. It's impossible for their search teams to all gather together. We can destroy their scattered personnel individually. Let them retreat when they are in trouble." Kuaima nodded.
"This method is okay once or twice, but if you use it too much, you will get caught. And once we are bitten by them, they can still kill us by virtue of their number advantage." Lin Rui whispered.
"And the secret society will never let us off this time, because I know the identity of the prince of the secret society. They will leave us or our bodies at all costs."
All the mercenaries looked at Lin Rui in surprise. "Boss, you mean, did you see the Grand Duke of the secret society? Do you know his identity?" Sausage said in surprise.
"Damn it, who is this guy?" Sergey asked in surprise.
"I'll talk about this later. What we have to do now is to try to live." Lin Rui nodded, "We have to go through the swamp and set off immediately."
The water in the swamp is not deep, it looks like it can’t even fit the waist, but the water is a bit muddy, the color of the water is dark green, and there are algae in the bottom of the water. The area of ​​the swamp is unknown, it stretches far away and connects with the jungle.
Lin Rui and the others had been in Africa for a long time, and they had obviously been familiar with the swamp. They formed a column and headed forward. The two mercenaries took care of the previous sick number and followed behind.
Lin Rui turned his head and said, "Follow me, step on those mounds, or you have to fall down!" There will be some high ground in the swamp, like mounds popping up, and there are many densely growing mounds. Tall and long grass.
But in the depths of the swamp, the situation is different. There is almost no place to settle in the depths of the swamp, almost just a huge pool. The mercenaries can only cut down trees and entangle them with tough vines to make rafts. Rely on the assistance of a raft to pass.
Lin Rui took off his combat uniform. The pants of the combat uniform were filled with air and then the pants were tightened. It was a temporary float that could provide some buoyancy. This method was learned when the army was armed for swimming.
Although simple, it works. Because the buoyancy of mud is even greater than ordinary clean water. The trouser legs filled with air can maintain buoyancy for at least a few minutes. Don’t underestimate it for a few minutes, it’s enough to find a place suitable for a short stay.
