Although the entire rainforest is not large, the terrain is very complex.
The towering trees with leafy branches, low saplings and bushes, as well as various unknown weeds and mushrooms are all the same, with basically no distinguishable value. These green plants transform the entire rainforest into a psychedelic area where you can't find your sense of direction.
"As a last resort, it is better to resolve the battle in the city." Zhao Dacheng said suddenly.
"It's not as simple as you think. Everyone has the same idea. Maybe the rainforest will be the safest when they are all crowded into the urban terrain." Chen Yigan's words were particularly convincing.
Zhao Dacheng nodded and marked a few more conspicuous trees on the map.
The five people walked for a while and suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water.
Bypassing the thick old tree that blocked the view, a small river appeared in front of everyone.
This is probably the newly added river beach landform this year.
Although the river has gurgling water, it doesn't seem to be very fast. Only at the obvious boundary between the upper and lower levels will it speed up slightly and make some sounds of running water.
"The water is not shallow," said Zheng Wang, who was the first to reach the river.
Chen Yiqian knelt down and picked up a pebble, walked a few steps closer to the river, and then threw the pebble in.
The pebbles entered the water with a "plop" and slowly sank until they were gradually invisible.
The river water is not clean, let alone crystal clear, but you can see some dark green water plants and moss in it.
"It must be two meters deep." Zhao Dacheng said.
"Absolutely," Chen Yiqian turned around and asked everyone, "Do you know how to swim? If you really get here, you won't be able to cross the river."
Zheng Wang and Hao Tian both nodded, indicating that their swimming was pretty good.
Zhao Dacheng hesitated a little, but still said honestly: "No, I have never learned it."
Everyone knows that he comes from the C20 area where there is not enough food to eat. The economy is not good and he is not close to the sea. He basically has no chance to get involved in the sport of swimming, let alone like Hao Tian and Zheng Wang who were able to go to a swimming pool to learn when they were young.
As for Su Yu, she thought carefully about whether she could swim and came to the conclusion that she was probably in the same situation as Zhao Dacheng. The conditions in the original C18 area were not that good.
"Then let's walk forward along the river and see if there is a shallower place where we can directly flow the water." Chen Yigan said.
At this time, more than half of the map has been drawn, and the terrain includes cities, Gobi, rainforests, and river beaches. But they still need to go further, because they have not seen the countryside and hills yet. They will probably wait until they cross the river and exit the rainforest. There will be new terrain.
After walking along the river for about an hour, a barbed wire fence appeared in front of us.
This proves that we have reached the end, and beyond the barbed wire fence it is no longer an actual combat base.
Fortunately, just away from the border, the river beaches on both sides have been slightly extended. The river water here can see the bluestones on the bottom of the river. The depth is only about one meter. For Zhao Dacheng, it is still possible to cross the river. .
"I didn't expect that I still had to get wet." Zheng Wang sighed, took off his shoes first, held them in his hands, and walked into the river.
Even with the scorching sun in the sky, the river water was still a bit cold and biting. The moment Zheng Wang stepped in, he still trembled unconsciously.
"Otherwise, you two should stay away from it." He turned around and said to Su Yu and Hao Tian, who had not yet entered the water: "The water in the river is too cold. If you wet your clothes, you will catch a cold."
Su Yu had already taken off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs above his knees, waved his hand and said, "No, I'm here already, I have to go and take a look."
"Yes, we can." Hao Tian also took off her shoes and socks quickly.
It is estimated that Chen Yiqian, Zhao Dacheng and Zheng Wang had the same idea, but since the girls did not need such special care, they did not insist anymore. After all, it was a good thing for them all to be familiar with the terrain.
Because the river beach here extends toward the center of the river, the river is not very wide, and the depth is about the same as they estimated. When Su Yu reached the deepest point in the center of the river, it just covered her waist.
They all had to hold up their shoes and walk forward, which looked a bit funny. But this is because they traveled lightly today and did not bring much with them. When the real competition comes, they will probably have to carry their marching bags and their own weapons.
The process of crossing the river was very smooth, except that everyone's pants were soaked through. Fortunately, in this weather, most of the clothes were light and light, and they dried naturally after walking a while.
After the five people crossed the river, they walked in the rainforest for a while before finally coming out.
Without the cover of trees and vegetation, the surrounding area suddenly became empty.
But the terrain further ahead was clear at a glance, and no one expected that there was actually a cornfield between the rainforest and the village.
The green corn stalks are as tall as a person, and there are small corns hanging on the poles, but most of them are tender green, probably not yet mature.
"This is a good place to block the attack." Zheng Wang clapped his hands.
Zhao Dacheng shook his head: "If you just dive in here, it's probably not going to be easy to find."
After that, the five people lined up in a column, with Chen Yigan walking at the front, trying to separate the corn stalks with both hands to avoid hitting the heads of the people behind.
Zhao Dacheng and Hao Tian walked behind. He showed Hao Tian the map he drew and explained to her: "We are walking south, and we were walking east along the river bank just now. Remember these two directions, even if you are walking Even if you get lost in the rainforest, you can definitely find your way out.”
Hao Tiantian nodded, she still hadn't realized that Zhao Dacheng's careful explanation this time would really help her as a road addict in a month.
After the cornfield is a dilapidated village, mostly with bungalows where you can hide.
The five people walked around the abandoned village several times and marked a few acceptable places to camp.
This village is located at the foot of the mountain, with three hills to the south, connected together like the word "mountain".
I heard that these three hills existed when the college was founded. They used to be kept outside the actual combat base and were called the "little back hills" of the college by the seniors. Generally, not many people went there.
I don’t know why it was included in the venue of this demon hunting competition this time.
"There is a high probability that no one will go here," Chen Yiqian looked at the bare mountain road: "Although climbing up is a good choice to avoid zombies, this mountain is bare and there is no hiding place, so it will be used as a living target."
He asked Su Yu for a telescope, took another look, pointed to a place and said to Zhao Dacheng: "There, if you are really forced to have nowhere to go, you can make a sniper point halfway up the mountain."
Zhao Dacheng nodded and added a stroke to the picture.
The entire map was basically drawn, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
The five of them came here early in the morning and had been trekking through mountains and rivers. They were so hungry that their hearts were pressed against their backs.
"Let's go. If we go back now, we can still catch up with dinner in the cafeteria." Su Yu said.
Chen Yigan waved his hand: "Why do you have to catch it for dinner? I'll treat you on the third floor of the cafeteria!"
Sure enough, there is food to eat with the God of Wealth...
