In the early morning, just as it was getting light, Colonel Packard took the soldiers out of their sleeping bags.
Colonel Packard has a strong military style, a cold face and strict requirements for his subordinates, but the soldiers do not hate him because he leads by example and values the life of every subordinate.
As the sun rises and the sun rises, the original scenery of Skull Island is intoxicating!
The peaks and mountains are like clusters, rolling up and down, towering ancient trees rise from the ground, and the forest sea is covered with white mist that never dissipates. Under the cliffs carved with knives and axes, there are deep valleys and secluded valleys, with flocks of frightened birds flying out from time to time.
However, beneath this beautiful scenery, there is a deadly murderous intention.
For example, if you look closely at the flock of birds flying darkly across the sky, you will find that they are an extremely ancient aerial predator, similar to a pterosaur, with a sharp, jagged beak.
The team went deep into the jungle, and the dogs surrounding Shan immediately became active, as if they had seen a newly renovated home, with their enemies everywhere.
Creatures like Erha are quite energetic. If you don't let them go crazy, they will make you go crazy. Therefore, Russell did not restrain the fifteen dogs and let them unleash their nature of destroying homes.
Fifteen dogs ran away like the wind and disappeared. After a while, there were roars from the direction where they disappeared.
The dogs randomly booed and divided the territory, angering the original owners of this territory, more than thirty knife-spine jackals.
It is said to be a wolf, but it is more like a Velociraptor that walks on all fours. The back of this creature has severe bone hyperplasia, and it looks like a steel thorn when exposed outside the body. It has been in a ferocious and cruel hunting state for a long time, and is not a good prey.
There are many kinds of strange beasts on Skull Island, including long-legged giant spiders, stick insects that look like dead wood, and giant swamp squids. They are just one of them.
Unlike the velociraptors who bullied the weak and feared the strong, the knife-spine jackals had a violent temperament. In addition to the territorial dispute, they started a fierce fight with the dogs and were unwilling to take a step back.
By the time a group of people arrived, the battle was over, and the scene was beyond sight.
Twenty-odd male knife-spine jackals lay dead and wounded, huddled on the edge of the battlefield, licking their wounds, looking sad, angry, and shivering. The dogs, on the other hand, rode on the trophies and sang loudly about their victory, because there were so many monks and so few, some of them were sitting in line.
Russell "..."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that everyone was silent and took a few steps away from him.
Especially Ying Yingying, with the disgust written in capital letters on her face, she seemed to be silently saying that you can tell a person by looking at a dog, and whatever kind of dog there is, there will be the same kind of owner.
Russell was so embarrassed that he pulled out his sand hawk and shot into the air, driving away the aggrieved dogs, and continued walking through the jungle, leaving behind a group of knife-spine jackals licking their tears.
The soldiers did not kill them. No matter from which point of view, they were the victims.
This scene is just a small microcosm of people walking in the jungle. In the fish and meat village, the dogs led the people through mountains and rivers all the way, and finally passed through this "dangerous" jungle in the afternoon.
To be precise, it should be that the disaster star has left, and the jungle has returned to its former dangerous state!
"Mr. Jason, I never knew there were people like you hidden in the world. Can you tell me about your world?"
Professor Landa has been getting close to Russell all the way. The 'you' in his mouth refer to Russell and Ying Yingying. Although the latter looks like a little lolita about ten years old, no one thinks so. She is carrying 4 A big bag stuffed with Tyrannosaurus rex fangs.
On earth, those who can carry a 70 kilogram load and hike through the jungle are not called lolita.
When he met Russell and Ying Ying for the first time, Professor Landa was shocked and excited. He believed that Russell must know the information about the monsters, and building a good relationship was extremely important to the Emperor organization.
"Our world is very dangerous. I can only tell you this, no more. Believe me, I am doing it for your own good!" Russell said perfunctorily. He didn't have a good impression of Professor Landa. This man organized the exploration team. But he concealed the truth, leading to the tragic deaths of many people.
As for the imperial organization behind him, Russell thinks it is even more ridiculous. Without them repeatedly seeking death, the earth would have been stable.
"Mr. Jason, you shouldn't hide the truth. Humanity is in a very dangerous situation. We need to..."
"Then it's even more unspeakable. The world for us people is more dangerous. If ordinary people step into it rashly, it will only lead to the destruction of civilization." Black mist rose on Russell's face, and his dim pupils stared at Professor Landa: "If I tell You, the real enemy of mankind are gods, what are you going to do?”
Dr. Landa was speechless and was dragged into the ditch by Russell's few words. He didn't crawl out for a long time.
…
After walking for half an hour, everyone passed through a deep valley, and the front suddenly opened up.
Swamps and waterlands, a peaceful scenery of green mountains and green fields, and traces of indigenous activities once again appeared in the surrounding area. Smoke curled up from the cooking pots, and we could vaguely see the village community, and the ferocious stone statues appeared again.
The tribal stockade Jason mentioned is not far away, backed by rivers and lakes, and there is a man-made wall of giant trees between the two mountains. The city wall, which is tens of meters high, is a miracle. Its scale is so staggering that it is difficult to imagine how it could be built by human power alone.
What follows is an excessive plot. In the cottage, everyone meets Mark, a World War II veteran who was stranded on an island after a plane crash. After wandering in a foreign land for nearly 29 years, Mark was so excited that he cried when he saw people from modern society.
Russell did not interfere in this plot and spent the night with the others in the village. His image was so intimidating that the tribesmen were in awe.
At night, Colonel Packard and James were working the night shift. Mark was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He chatted with the two and learned that the scientific research team was going deep into the center of the island. He hurriedly advised not to die.
Mark has lived on the island for 29 years and has almost integrated into it. He talked about the dangerous areas on the island. The central area is a forbidden area of death, where skeleton reptiles are the most active.
As for King Kong, who destroyed the helicopter formation, Mark called it the patron saint of the island. It was his fight against the underground demons that allowed life on the island to survive.
Colonel Packard, who was bent on revenge, did not speak. He ignored King Kong's importance to the island and only wanted to avenge the tragic death of the soldiers. Dr. Landa, the leader of the scientific research team, refused to give up. He shouldered the heavy responsibility assigned by the organization and insisted on going deep into the dangerous zone.
The soldiers obeyed Colonel Packard's orders, and the scientific research team followed Professor Landa's lead. The two leaders asked for death, but Mark said that there was nothing he could do about it. He longed to return to the real society, knowing that he could only die along with him. .
"I wanted to ask before, who is that guy who looks like the devil?" Mark glanced at Russell's tent and asked in a low voice: "It's only been 30 years. When I came in, it was not like this outside! "
