A beam of sunlight shines through the gaps in the dense forest and shines on the spider web between the bushes. A small fly is struggling in the web, and is about to become a delicious meal for the spider. At this time, a drop of water suddenly drips and knocks the small fly off the spider web. The spider that just crawled over probes the hole in the spider web, and I don’t know if it is cursing.
Along with the sound of branches and leaves being trampled and broken, Liu Min shook off the sweat from her forehead with her hands and took a deep breath. Although her legs felt as if they were filled with lead, she still forced herself to take a step and keep up with the pace of the person in front of her.
The forest rangers showed enough respect to this selfless doctor. Miss "Emeijing" pulled her arm and told the team members that they were willing to carry her on a stretcher, but Liu Min refused. Before Laura was found, everyone's energy could not be wasted on her.
Especially compared to the others, Liu Min was already lightly equipped, and even the medicine box was carried by Miss "Emeijing" on her back. The forest rangers carried more things, and their physical exertion was far beyond her ability to compare.
As they went deeper and deeper, the light in front of the woods became brighter and brighter, and gradually, they could clearly feel the hot wind blowing into the woods. When the badger in the front disappeared behind a tree, everyone quickened their pace to catch up, but they were all stunned.
A ten-meter-wide river appeared before everyone's eyes. Wang Ping, wearing a blue vest, was standing on the river bank, staring blankly at a new warning sign erected next to the grass on the opposite bank. Even though Gu Lang and Liu Min didn't know Bantu, the explosion symbol drawn on it was still easy to understand.
"Boss?"
Gu Lang walked forward, wanting to confirm his guess from the badger, hoping that he was wrong. However, everyone was still disappointed to see the badger raised a small paw and pointed in the direction of the other side. With his eyesight, he could easily see the footprints on the other side.
In fact, she should have thought that the chimpanzees' home was in the forest across the grassland full of mines. Having come this far, Laura couldn't go anywhere else.
Sanger discussed with two other rangers and decided to go along the river bank to meet up with the driving team members and go directly to the chimpanzee sanctuary from another direction.
However, when Miss "Emeijing" relayed the story to Liu Min and Gu Lang, a salted fish frowned and objected. Standing on the river bank and looking at the forest in the distance, you can see how big the chimpanzee sanctuary is. If you really change direction, who knows when you can find Laura again.
In terms of understanding of wild animals, Gu Lao San is probably not even as good as Liu Min. But in terms of understanding of a certain badger, the people present combined are not as good as his little finger. This master of his family is just a badger, after all, not a police dog. He can tell whether the residual smell is Clairol or roasted pork ribs, but he can't tell whether it is a female or male gorilla.
The reason he was able to follow the trail all the way here was because there were not only smells but also various footprints left by Laura. With a badger's eyesight, this route was not much different from following footprints. But if he changed the direction, the various messy and similar ape smells in the woods alone would drive him crazy.
Wang Ping stood by the river, holding his chin and looking at someone with sidelong glances. Although he didn't want to admit it, most of what Gu Laosan said was indeed true.
In the live broadcast room, after listening to Gu Lang's description, netizens began to worry and made various suggestions. Some suggested that the team borrow military dogs, and some asked the military to come and clear the mines first. But in general, everyone's advice was just one: don't enter the minefield.
Although Wang Ping could accurately find the route that Laura took to cross the minefield, even if it was the same route, it didn't mean there were no mines. Perhaps the goddess of luck couldn't stand it anymore, so she let Laura pass all the mines when she passed by. But as long as there was one person in the team that the goddess missed, she could take everyone else away.
Sanger had already taken out a metal detector from his backpack, and he had obviously prepared to cross the minefield if necessary. But everyone knew that it might not be reliable. For example, the ceramic mines invented by the working people back then could not be found even if the metal detector was used for a year.
Especially now that international conventions have completely banned the use of landmines, poachers use homemade land mines, and who knows what materials they are made of. In addition, it rained heavily in the reserve on the day of mine laying, and now that the rain has stopped and the sky is clear, there are no traces of excavation on the ground, which greatly increases the difficulty of mine clearance.
After thinking for a while, Wang Ping patted Gu Lang's leg, and when he looked over, he pointed to the place under his feet and asked him to wait here. After a certain salted fish confirmed his meaning, he turned around and jumped into the river, swimming to the other side.
"Hey? Boss!"
"mediocre!"
"Boss!"
Everyone was shocked. Gu Lang never expected that a badger asked him to wait but ran over first. He was so anxious that he wanted to go into the water directly, but was pulled back by Sangge.
"Why did the boss go there?"
"That's a minefield!"
"The boss may not understand, so he is anxious to chase the gorilla."
"What should we do? If we continue like this, we will hit a landmine sooner or later."
"The explosion area of modern landmines is half a meter above the ground. I don't think they can reach the boss's size."
"Where did this idiot come from? The explosion range is spherical instead of circular. Are you stupid?"
A big discussion broke out in the live broadcast room. While everyone was arguing, a certain badger who had just climbed up the opposite bank seemed to be stunned for a moment, and stretched out his nose to smell something. Then, he turned around and hooked his claws towards the opposite bank.
When it comes to minesweeping, apart from Gu Lao San, even Liu Min doesn't trust that furry creature, so everyone hesitated when they saw Wang Ping's actions. But Gu Lang didn't care about that. His long-term blind obedience gave him a mysterious confidence in a certain badger. As soon as Sanger was distracted, the creature had already entered the water.
Wang Ping was not making random gestures, in fact, he had planned to ask everyone to change their route at the beginning, and he would cross the minefield alone. Even if it was to prevent grandma from worrying, he would not let a salted fish approach the minefield.
But as soon as he stepped onto the land on the other side, especially after discovering the location of the first landmine, Wang Ping smiled.
Although the mines were almost perfectly hidden due to the heavy rain and the grass covering, the pungent smell of TNT and trinitroamine in the air still made him want to sneeze. If the sense of smell is compared to vision, then the distribution of mines on the entire grassland in front of him was as obvious as if they were laid out on the ground, and he would not go wrong even with his eyes closed.
The team chased Gu Lang through the waist-deep river, and after entering the grassland, Sangge followed Wang Ping and walked in front. The whole team formed a long line, and the people behind stepped on the footprints of the people in front and continued to chase towards the forest.
The journey was safe and sound, and although everyone was nervous, nothing happened. However, as they gradually approached the woods, before their tense nerves could relax, they saw the treetops shaking, and a dozen chimpanzees appeared at the edge of the forest, roaring threateningly at everyone, obviously not wanting them to enter.
"how so?"
Miss "Emeijing" was stunned, surprised by the sudden change in the attitude of the gorillas. In the past, when there were many tourists, these guys would wave their arms and act cute to ask for food, but now that the staff has replaced them, they are not allowed to enter
Wang Ping was not surprised by this. Chimpanzees are highly social and gregarious animals. He was afraid that Laura had expressed something to the "other chimpanzees" after she ran back, causing them to mistakenly believe that she was abused in the park.
The ranger who was familiar with the gorillas stepped forward and tried to communicate with them by using hand gestures. However, at this moment, a palpitation came over them. Before they could react, a gorilla on the opposite treetop suddenly raised a stone in his hand and threw it at them.
“Ouch!”
Wang Ping's hair stood on end. He roared, slapped the stunned Sangge, turned around and ran towards Gu Lang.
"#￥go!"
Sanger reacted, his eyes almost popped out, and he waved his hands forward fiercely. Everyone ran quickly without considering whether there were mines at the edge of the forest.
"boom!"
"boom!"
A series of explosions suddenly sounded at the edge of the forest. Along with the flying grass and dirt, a blue figure drew a parabola and fell into the bushes in the forest.
