He rushed up to the eighteenth floor of this building in a hurry, and the door of Cao Yusheng's room was wide open.
Lin Shuo hurried in and found Cao Yusheng sitting on the bed, already awake, stroking the back of his head.
Seeing Lin Shuo and others coming in, Patriarch Cao said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, I have low blood sugar, I passed out after standing up for a long time. "
"Uncle, your face turned blue when you passed out just now, it doesn't look like hypoglycemia." Wei Xingshan said on the side, "Why don't we go to the hospital?"
Anne stepped forward at this moment, picked up Cao Yusheng's wrist, and began to feel the pulse.
After a while, Anne said, "The pulse is normal."
"I just said it's fine." Cao Yusheng stood up, "Okay, I've finished packing here, let's go."
"Fourth Uncle." Lin Shuo used his private address and asked with concern, "Are you sure you're okay? This is a business. You know the rules of Liemen. I can let you not participate."
"It's really fine." Cao Yusheng said seriously, "My disease is a chronic disease. It can't be cured, but it can be controlled with drugs. It's true that my physical function will decline, but I'm a hunter anyway. With this background, let's go It’s absolutely fine to walk on mountain roads.”
"That's good." Lin Shuo nodded, "If you feel unwell, you can't hide it from me."
"Don't worry, leader, I'm a hunter and I won't joke about business."
"Okay, let's go then."
…
The various trekking routes at the southern foot of the Himalayan Mountains have been developed by trekkers over the years, taking into account the difficulty of trekking and the scenery along the way.
After various packaging and publicity by tourism practitioners, coupled with the original reputation of this mountain range, several routes are also well-known.
This route starts from the small town of Soli. Compared with the other routes, this route is more difficult on foot, so there are fewer people who dare to try it than the other routes.
However, humans have human nature, and beasts have their own paths. Even if it is a route with few people, wild beasts dare not approach it.
Because it was necessary for Zhang Jin to communicate with the beasts in the forest to confirm the whereabouts of the white-headed flying corpse, Lin Shuo would not take this ready-made hiking route when he entered the mountain this time.
On the other hand, the smell clues from the previous victim's village also deviated greatly from this route from Sol.
Starting from the victim's village, Lin Shuo and others began to take a fork in the road.
While Lin Shuo followed the scent, everyone walked on the side road for a while.
Wei Xingshan stopped everyone, and then casually threw the two large black suitcases he was carrying on the ground.
There were passers-by before, but Wei Xingshan's guy didn't dare to show up, for fear of scaring people, but now it's all right.
The man opened the suitcase and began to assemble the weapons inside.
The pistol is ready-made, and it is done by attaching the holster to the thigh.
Sniper rifles, assault rifles, and compound bows are more troublesome. The parts are scattered and he needs to assemble them.
Taking advantage of this time, Cao Yusheng also put down the sandalwood box behind him, and took out four translucent plastic balls the size of ping-pong balls. Each plastic ball had a mouth with a lid on it.
The form of this kind of packaging is similar to Kaisailu for treating constipation. Anyway, unscrew the lid and squeeze it out.
"The stuff inside is called whale oil, the fat of sperm whales, which I bought from Haike." Cao Yusheng explained, "This thing is specially used by Haike to guard against mermaids.
Mermaids also attack with sonic waves, but they are not on land and are not under the control of our hunters.
Since they are all sonic attacks, if they can defend against mermaids, they can also defend against flying corpses.
However, if this thing is rubbed into the ear, the sense of hearing is basically useless, so it is not appropriate to rub it in now.
I'll give you these four bottles first, and you put them where you can get them. Make sure you can take them out as soon as possible.
The sonic attack of the flying corpse, which is not fatal at the beginning, will leave us with about three or four seconds of reaction time.
Once you hear something is wrong, wipe the whale oil in as soon as possible, this is to save your life. "
While saying these words, Cao Yusheng distributed the four plastic balls in his hand to everyone.
Everyone quickly put it away, and Lin Shuo also put the bottle into his pocket.
This fanny pack was bought by Anne for him. Compared with the previous cloth pocket, Lin Shuo likes it very much.
In just a short while, Wei Xingshan's three large pieces were assembled, and they were hung up front and back, much lighter than before with both hands.
Of Wei Xingshan's three major pieces, the others are all handy guys that have been used before, only the compound bow is the latest purchase.
All in all, Wei Xingshan's whole body is worth 100,000 U.S. dollars this time. This is all equipment he bought himself and cannot be reimbursed.
Lin Shuo also opened the wooden box, invited Master Zhui out, and carried it on his back.
The wooden box was trampled and thrown aside.
This wooden box, together with the discarded shoes from the mountain road, is the cost of Lin Shuo's business every time.
Among them, the wooden box was made by Lin Shuo himself, free of charge, and the shoes were bought by Anne.
Other weapons and tools, including Lord Zhui, are family heirlooms and do not require money.
Lin Zhangxiu's ability is valuable.
These people are professionals, and their legs and feet are much faster than ordinary people. They walked down the mountain road for more than ten kilometers. It is only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it is still early for camping.
After tidying up on the side road for a while, those who smoked smoked, those who drank water, and when they were almost done, Lin Shuo pointed to the hill ahead: "When we get to the bottom of that hill, it's time to find a place to stay."
Everyone nodded.
Wangshan is running like a dead horse, the mountain doesn't look far away, but it really takes a while to walk.
This is no longer a hiking route, and the side road has come to an end, and Zhang Jin has to use a Tang knife to open the way any further.
Just as he was talking, suddenly a few people turned out from the foot of the mountain at the end of the fork.
When he stopped just now, Lin Shuo could smell them, and knew that they were coming for his own group, so he didn't hurry.
This group of people in the deep mountains and old forests are fast on their feet. Once they walk, this group of people will definitely not be able to catch up.
It doesn't matter if you can't catch up, but if there is any misunderstanding inside, it will be troublesome for this group of people to shoot.
Lin Shuo could smell the engine oil in their hands from afar.
Rather than letting them sneer behind their backs, it is better to ask now what is going on.
There are a total of five people in the group that turned out right now. They are black and thin, and everyone is wearing a khaki uniform with a rifle in their hands.
Seeing the five Lin Shuo, this group of people was chattering, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but one thing was clear, it was definitely not a good thing.
Because they raised the guns in their hands, facing Lin Shuo and others.
However, they raised their guns too slowly, and they couldn't react after raising them.
Zhang Jin was just ahead, ready to use Tang Dao to clear the way, right in front of the five people.
When Zhang Jin swung the knife, only two and a half of the five guns were left, and the first half was cut off.
The five people on the opposite side were stunned for a while, you looked at me, I looked at you, threw the half of the gun in their hands to the ground, and raised their hands very consciously.
Then they chattered again, and their expressions were completely different from before. Before, they were full of energy, even a little arrogant, but now they are like five frosted eggplants, crying while talking. They all raised their hands and knelt down.
Wei Xingshan was amused, and murmured to Lin Shuo, "Isn't this group of robbers too funny?"
"Where do you know that he is a robber?" Lin Shuo gave Wei Xingshan a white look.
At this time Anne went up and tried to ask them in English.
Among the five people, there was finally one who could speak English, but his pronunciation was not very standard, which made Lin Shuo feel awkward.
Moreover, this person couldn't cry anymore, and he was twitching when he spoke.
After a while, Anne finally understood the question, walked back and said to Lin Shuo, "They are going to protect the forest."
"I can tell." Lin Shuo said, "He's wearing a uniform, and he has epaulettes."
"A group of forest rangers, why did they point their guns at us just now?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"They thought we were a poaching gang," Anne said.
"Hey." Wei Xingshan smiled, looked at the giant bow behind Lin Shuo, the Tang knife in Zhang Jin's hand, and the rifle hanging on his chest, "Not to mention, our outfit really looks alike. "
Anne nodded: "That's why they were facing a big enemy just now, but when Zhang Jin went down with the knife, they found that they had fallen into our hands, so they were very scared, thinking that they would be killed by us."
"It seems that poaching in the Himalayas is rampant." Cao Yusheng said at this time, "And these poachers must be crazy, otherwise the group of forest rangers wouldn't be so scared."
"Let them go, this group of people is not easy." Lin Shuo waved his hand, "By the way, explain to them that we are not poachers, and leave an official contact information of the International Biological Research Society so that they can go back. Verify. Otherwise, they may not believe us and call more people into the mountains to encircle us.”
"Okay." Anne agreed.
…
After a brief episode, Lin Shuo and his party continued on the road.
Right now, Lin Shuo was still tracking the scent, so there was no need for Zhang Jin to use animal language to get information, the boy was just clearing the way.
There is no road ahead, and there are thorn bushes as tall as a person. Not only is there no road under the feet, but the vision is also very poor, so they have to be cut out with a knife.
But Lin Shuo knew in his heart that this situation would not last long.
Because at this time, the smell of the white-headed flying corpse in the mountains has become weaker and weaker, and it is constantly approaching the limit of Lin Shuo's sense of smell.
Nowadays, these places with strong vegetation are good. On the one hand, there are faint scent clues. On the other hand, when this thing passes through such places, it will leave some traces, which is conducive to tracking.
At the same time, Lin Shuo became more and more confused.
If it is said that in the village, because the distribution of victims is relatively dense, it is understandable that the white-headed flying corpse is too lazy to fly for the convenience of eating.
But in this wild place, why doesn't it spread its wings and fly high
Crawling around in this kind of thorn bushes, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a hedgehog. How can it be a white-headed flying corpse
Just so confused, Zhang Jin made a sudden cut with a knife in front of him.
The thorn bushes are gone, and there is a river ahead.
And the smell, from here on off.
