While waiting for the rain, Zuer was not idle for the past few days. He made plans for his subordinates for possible situations they might encounter when entering the rainforest.
The 20 people who need to go to the Western Queen Motherland this time are all Burmese soldiers. Compared with the Chinese, they have more experience in jungle combat and are better able to adapt to the rainforest environment.
The remaining dozen people stayed at the edge of the rainforest to take care of them. They were absolutely not allowed to leave until they came out.
Zuer did not wait too long. Three days later, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky. Then the rain gradually became heavier, and it actually rained for a whole day.
They hide in the tent to kill time and enjoy the last comfortable time. Tomorrow they will start to work hard.
Early the next morning, the weather stopped raining and the sun shone brightly. The dry riverbeds had gradually gathered into streams, and the surrounding area was full of vitality.
The convoy set off again and continued along the river, following the course of the river.
Near noon, Zuer suddenly called to stop the car. After everyone got out of the car, they discovered that there was a cliff in front of them.
And below the cliff, there is smoke and greenery, and a large oasis with no end as far as the eye can see. It seems to be a completely different world.
Zuer once again lamented the miraculous craftsmanship of nature, life and death, desert and oasis, but there is a thin line between the two worlds.
Wuxie was amazed and quickly took out Wenjin's notes to find the record about Tamutuo.
The notes said that they entered Tamutuo through a canyon, so now they could only go around the periphery of the basin to find the entrance.
With Zuer's living map, they naturally avoided many detours.
The car drove for nearly five kilometers and finally found the canyon in a place with slightly sparse vegetation.
Zuer asked his crew to build a huge pile of rocks at the entrance of the valley and put a colorful flag as a road sign.
After that, the group of people drove towards the canyon and drove for nearly two kilometers. There was no road further.
The rocks are thick with trees and it's definitely impossible to drive.
Zuer first arranged for people to set up camp and cleared a clearing around it as the last connection point.
Everyone rested for one night and entered Tamutuo the next day.
Although it is located on a plateau, the basin has a completely tropical climate, which is no less dangerous than the Amazon forest.
Not only do all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes survive, but the miasma and humidity at night are enough to kill ordinary people.
Zuer asked people to redistribute the backpacks, making sure that each backpack contained gas masks and food.
There is no shortage of water in the forest, but the water cannot be drank directly. Zuer prepared the most advanced jungle water filter, which is much lighter than carrying water directly.
Twenty of the men who could enter the Tamutuo were selected. Zuer and his group took away 10 of them, and the remaining 10 were left here waiting for the black blind man.
After waiting for others, join the team that is unwinding the chain and meet them at Tamutuo.
The remaining 15 stayed here to build a camp to ensure that there would be enough support when they came out.
Zuer and her Kokang soldiers both had experience in jungle warfare. They were used to the humidity and heat in that poor place in Myanmar.
Zhang Qiling and Zhang Ruisong were able to graduate from the Zhang Family School and endured unimaginable hardships. This difficulty is of course not a problem.
Even Aning did not fall behind, and Wu Xie was the most difficult one.
This really can't be blamed on Wu Xiebai, the environment here is really too harsh.
There are tall trees everywhere, and even the sunlight cannot penetrate under the trees.
Mosquitoes and locusts are like sperm. Not only are they big, they are not afraid of people. They swarm on people.
The temperature was over 30 degrees and I had to wear long sleeves and long pants. Sweat dripped down my neck, and I felt like I was going to collapse after a while.
There are no roads at all in the woods, so you have to pay attention to everything around you while walking.
You have to be careful not to get scratched by the leaves on the top, keep waving your middle arm to drive away mosquitoes, and be careful not to step into the swamp under your feet.
This kind of intensity could not be endured by Wu Xie, not to mention a pampered young man, even those who were accustomed to manual labor.
The three Zhang family members didn't have to worry about the insects, but they had to take turns to clear the way, and their walking was not easy.
Wu Xie's ability to reach this point was all supported by his energy. He wanted to scold the old boy after meeting his third uncle.
He also didn't want to be looked down upon by Menyou Ping.
In addition, the two girls in the team didn't complain about being tired, so he, a grown man, was really embarrassed to say that he should take a rest.
Zuer made this trip, firstly to earn points by completing the plot, and secondly, to see what the meteorite cave was about.
At the same time, they can also clean up the barking dogs chasing them. It would be best to capture two alive and use them as signal sources. It would be great if they could use this to find the Wang family's base camp.
They didn't have to rush in time. After seeing Wu Xie swaying while walking, they stopped the team to rest.
Aning couldn't help frowning as he looked at the sky approaching evening. It looked like it was going to rain soon. They didn't even bring a tent this time. How were they going to spend the night?
Zuer ignored Aning's inquiry and just asked the boy who followed him to find a high ground to clean up the vines.
After cleaning up, he waved his hand, and a row of six curved glass houses appeared out of thin air, which shocked Aning.
The ten Kokang soldiers stood in a row, made a strange bow, and then prayed in unison in Kokang dialect.
Aning couldn't understand it, but he could guess that it was some kind of religious ceremony.
She can't understand Zhang Zuer more and more now.
He is obviously a Chinese but can control so many foreign masters. Is it possible that this kind of special ability is the reason for his success?
Zuer just wanted to cover her face when she saw those guys praying. Although she had seen them many times, she still dug her toes on the ground in embarrassment.
Heixiazi couldn't say this was a bad idea, but she was really not used to it.
The more closed and backward a place is, the more superstitious it becomes, especially in Southeast Asian countries, where religious theocracy has always been higher than imperial power.
The Kokang people are loyal to Queen A Miao not only because of her abilities and methods, but also because they believe that A Miao is a goddess.
Especially those brave soldiers, they are all proud to join the Queen's death squad.
In their view, dying for the goddess is the highest honor, and they can enjoy the best treatment after death.
It's a bit like Tibetan Buddhism, which doesn't cultivate this life but only cultivates the next life.
This kind of spiritual belief is sometimes better than throwing money, and even spies placed elsewhere have rebelled a lot.
In the eyes of these death squads, Zuer's actions to explore the Mother Kingdom of the West were all diplomatic activities between gods.
They may have understood it as Tathagata Buddha chatting with God.
Now that the glass house was exposed, Zuer didn't let anyone cook. He just waved a few large picnic cloths and laid out a pile of rice, roasted chicken, fruit and braised meat.
The things in the backpack were for emergencies in case of getting separated. If possible, she still didn't want to treat her own people badly.
The ten guys prayed again before thanking the boss and eating.
Zhang Ruisong bit his cheek to suppress a smile. Those people knew Chinese, and he didn't dare to say anything for fear of ruining his daughter's affairs.
Zhang Qiling no longer had such worries. The emojis were so wonderful that he finally made Zuer furious.
The sister-in-law who was ridiculed not only confiscated his small cake, but also took out several boxes of fennel-filled dumplings.
Although Zhang Qiling doesn't have to eat it, both Zhang Ruisong and Wu Xie like it very much.
As soon as the dumplings were bitten open, the smell of fennel filled the air, making Zhang Qiling even want to breathe.
Why is there such a plant as fennel in the world?
If he was in danger, he would rather hide in a public toilet than in a fennel patch.
It is said that all things in the world are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other. Zhang Qiling felt that if there is such a creature as unicorn in the world, its nemesis must be fennel.
Zhang Ruisong: No way, Kirin’s nemesis is leeks!
Zuer: You two are picky eaters!
(Mumbling quietly) I think it's bitter melon.
