Chapter 211 Death Swamp
Except for Bill Johnson, Qin Rongshuai did not bring any extra personnel. He flew directly to West Africa in Alexander's private plane and landed at Yamoussoukro Airport, the capital of Côte d'Ivoire.

Then, under the arrangement of the staff of the local Corvinus Group, we took an off-road vehicle to the tropical rainforest.

After bumping up and down the muddy dirt road for two days, we arrived at a local tribe on the edge of the tropical rainforest, and the convoy stopped for a short rest.

This tribe is the intersection of primitive and civilization. People who go to the tropical rainforest often stop here to replenish supplies, hire guides, and return from the rainforest.

So it is rare for this tribe to see some modern things, such as generators and electric lights, such as communication towers, such as simple hospitals, such as churches that also serve as hotels, repair cars, and sell food and drinking water.

Qin Rongshuai even saw the letter "H" wrapped in a circle on the square in front of the church. It was a simple helipad.

Here Qin Rongshuai met another expedition team that was about to enter the tropical rainforest. In this small tribe, he ran into the assistant researcher named Susan.

Compared to Qin Rongshuai's team, which only had a few people, the opponent's team can be described as spectacular.

There are as many as a dozen botanists, biologists, medical experts and other professionals. The team leader is a retired non-commissioned officer from a foreign mercenary regiment who has gone deep into the tropical rainforest many times. Even with the experts in the rainforest, they still hired a few The people in the tribe act as guides.

However, what Qin Rongshuai noticed was that most of the expedition team were well-trained soldiers, and everyone was fully armed and carried a lot of weapons and ammunition.

This team didn't look like they were going into the rainforest for scientific research, but they looked like they were going to fight a war.

"Boss." Bill Johnson also noticed the unusualness of this group of people, and suggested nervously, "That group of people doesn't look like a good person, I'm afraid they are engaged in black operations, we'd better stay away from these people .”

"It's okay, we're here for a scientific investigation." Qin Rongshuai said calmly, "Just avoid them, I'm not a person who likes to make trouble."

Early the next morning, the huge expedition team on the opposite side set off on the road, and the long convoy drove into the jungle under the leadership of the guide.

An hour later, Qin Rongshuai woke up slowly. While eating breakfast, he watched Bill Johnson arguing with the guide. After paying a dollar bill, the guide happily counted the money, turned and ran away.

A few minutes later, the guide returned to the village with a few elephants. The black guy named Tukam showed his white teeth, patted the elephant's head happily and said, "Let's ride this, this one is better than steel wheels." quick."

Qin Rongshuai looked at Bill Johnson with some surprise, and the other party nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Qin Rongshuai felt that riding an elephant was quite new, so he jumped on the elephant's back in a happy mood, and followed Tukam into the jungle leisurely.

At first, the elephants walking slowly on the path between the jungles made people a little anxious, but as they gradually penetrated into the hinterland of the tropical rainforest, the role of the elephants was reflected.

Elephants easily walked through various vines and branches, and directly smashed through the lush branches and leaves. There was no need for people to use machetes to open the way, just be careful not to be knocked down by the branches extending from both sides.

Traveling in the jungle is very hot and humid, and you have to be careful of all kinds of horrible animals, blood-sucking leeches, highly poisonous insects, overwhelming mosquitoes, and giant pythons swimming past.

Sometimes a black and white colobus monkey will jump out of the tree, land on the back of the elephant, and grin at the person sitting there.

Qin Rongshuai casually sent the little thing away with fruit, and the monkey who got the sweetness stayed on it but refused to leave.

Qin Rongshuai, who was teasing the monkey, suddenly felt a little strange, and a cool wind blew on his face, and this cool wind blew on his sweaty face, which was very pleasant and cool.

But after a long time, I felt an indescribable rotten smell in the wind.Bill Johnson took a few more breaths, and immediately retched, feeling so uncomfortable that his lungs were about to convulse, and he coughed and vomited non-stop while lying on the elephant's back.

Qin Rongshuai immediately took out the protective helmet and buckled it on Bill Johnson. The oxygen in the helmet quickly relieved him, and the clever guide Tukam had already covered his mouth and nose with a cloth strip soaked in herbal juice.

Bill Johnson grabbed Tucom and asked angrily: "What the hell is this?"

"Swamp, we are going into the swamp!" Tukam gestured loudly, "This is a curse in the swamp, and anyone who goes in will do so."

Qin Rongshuai immediately understood what was going on. It was the poisonous gas of rotting animals and plants accumulated in the swamp for many years.

When they reached the edge of the swamp, the elephants could no longer move forward, and the group jumped down. Tukam rewarded the elephants with fruit, and asked them to stay by the swamp to move around on their own, waiting for the group to come back.

There was a gray mist covering the swamp, and it was hard to see anything a few meters away. It was surprisingly quiet here when I listened carefully.

The reeds here showed a strange dark red color, and the vast expanse looked extraordinarily strange, like a sea of ​​blood.There was a soft rattling sound as the boots rubbed against the reeds.

Pushing aside the reeds, there is a shallow layer of water underneath. If you look carefully, the water is also scarlet, as if blood dripped into the water and flowed in all directions.

"The water here is cursed. You can't drink it. People who drink it will be covered with bugs." Tukam warned with a serious expression.

Qin Rongshuai nodded and made a gesture. The T-1000 following him immediately took out a test tube, sampled the swamp water, sealed it, and put it into a travel bag.

Before the group had gone far, they suddenly heard a desolate and terrified elephant neighing behind them, as if they had encountered some horror.

Everyone turned around and saw that the huge African elephant was completely overturned to the ground, splashing a splash of water, and soon there was no movement.

Then there was a rustling sound in the reeds, and a black image was a rushing river rushing over.

The guide Tukam turned pale with fright, turned around and ran away without saying a word, not even caring about his boss.

Qin Rongshuai had super-sighted eyesight, and he could see the true face of the large black shadow at a glance, which was a group of huge leeches.

These leeches were the size of footballs, densely packed together, and an elephant was sucked dry by them in an instant, before turning its head and aiming at the people in the swamp.

Bill Johnson was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he stretched out his hand to grab his boss, "Run!"

Qin Rongshuai narrowed his eyes, took out the flamethrower, and pulled the trigger on the rushing leeches.

The long fire dragon extended four or five meters away, roasting a large piece of leech directly, and a strange fragrance filled the air immediately.

The raging swarm of leeches was immediately restrained, and the swarm of insects that originally had the momentum to devour everything turned around and dispersed, seemingly frightened by the power of the flames.

Bill Johnson had just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around and stop the escaped guide.

Suddenly, a huge figure the size of a truck jumped out of the swamp, and it swallowed Tukam at once.
