20demayo Chapter 46 Heading Towards Hell
Chapter 46 Heading Towards Hell
After stealing half a day of leisure, Qi Ming returned to the dock and continued to keep an eye on Captain Bill and his ship.
One afternoon in the middle of the month, it rained particularly heavily.
Qi Ming saw several unfamiliar foreigners at the dock, some black, some brown, clearly the main characters. They were well-equipped, even bringing a doctor.
It's not that their company is very humane, but rather that it's required by the insurance company.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, they won't compensate you.
Qi Ming remained calm and prepared to follow the group, but without making a move, intending to eliminate them at any moment. Wasn't that wicked? Lu Mouji didn't think so.
Moreover, the matter was of great importance, and Qi Ming did not want any accidents to happen.
In fact, he didn't need to kill them himself. He could have solved the problem by throwing a small pebble at the crucial moment without getting his hands dirty.
That night.
The pharmaceutical company team found Captain Bill, and after some discussion, decided to set off the next day.
It must be said that this rainforest is absolutely extraordinary.
Not only are there giant pythons, blood orchids, and headhunters, but also many other magical and dangerous plants and animals.
In fact, even if the villain Jack wins, he probably won't have an easy time getting out of the rainforest alive, but for Qi Ming, it's no problem at all.
There are many wild crocodiles here, and there might even be some that have eaten blood orchids.
However, Qi Ming's fashion sense has already caught up with that of the Fire Cloud Evil God. He only needs a vest, shorts, and slippers, and he has little interest in any kind of genuine leather products. Otherwise, he could have a few leather jackets and bags made and see if he could take them back with him.
The next day.
The rain was still pouring down.
Qi Ming exclaimed, "Compared to the plum rain season in Jiangnan, it's child's play."
When he said the last three words, he specifically used the tone of the God of Gamblers from France.
He wants superpowers.
Although each use is accompanied by a comedic element, it is inherently powerful, since as long as one's skill is strong enough, one can reverse time and space.
Relativity and quantum mechanics were both subjected to its forceful, brutal, and ultimate insult.
Unfortunately, this thing relies on talent.
Qi Ming has no chance at all.
The rain stopped at noon.
Bill's "Bloody Mary" departed the dock, heading towards hell...
Even if Qi Ming walks slowly, he won't be slower than a boat.
If you encounter dense forest blocking your way, you don't need the light-footed skill of climbing mountains as if walking on flat ground; you can easily get through by kicking and chopping with your palms.
As for the river blocking the way, just jump over it; there's no need to get your slippers wet.
He can easily jump 20 meters in the standing long jump.
That night.
The ship's lights came on, and it dropped anchor.
Qi Ming also found a place to rest in the woods on the shore. He regarded the night as day and did not need a flashlight.
He casually rescued a monkey from the mouth of a giant python and petted it for a while.
They spotted the tiger again in the middle of the night, so they caught it and fed it the large lizard they had killed on the spot.
It is said that snakes, like tigers, are purely carnivorous, and the reason they ate the blood orchid was probably unintentional.
After feeding the tiger, Qi Ming did not let it leave, but kept it by his side to keep it company for the time being.
The tiger had no objection to this.
Qi Ming planned to tame it and feed it blood orchids.
Because his plan was to artificially cultivate blood orchids deep in the rainforest, he needed someone to guard the place.
It would be more appropriate if the tiger could mutate and grow as large as a North American brown bear or a polar bear after eating it.
This place is deserted and no one comes here year-round. The only thing to do is to guard against other large, ferocious beasts that might steal his territory and trample his flowers.
That being said, Qi Ming felt that with the level of the Blood Orchid, it should be able to survive if transplanted to other places.
However, there may be differences.
This point also needs to be studied.
next morning.
The Bloody Mary continued its journey.
Qi Ming also quietly followed.
The tiger "Fat Girl" was very well-behaved and did not try to escape.
I tried it several times last night.
But each time, Qi Ming would always arrive first, grab the back of the neck, and drag them back to the camp.
He completely lost his temper.
Not long after they started walking, Qi Ming saw Ge'er, a brown-skinned investment banker, fall into the water with a splash.
Then, Captain Billy immediately jumped into the water to save her, and ended up encountering and killing a large crocodile.
Fine!
He's the male lead, so he's pretty impressive!
But shortly after they left, the crocodile's carcass was eaten by the python.
Qi Ming observed it for a moment, and it was still the same one from last night.
This snake is of great research value, so he releases it whenever possible, unwilling to kill it easily.
night.
Heavy rain has returned.
The Bloody Mary changed course.
Qi Ming continued to follow.
Always avoid interfering completely, lest they be unable to find it.
The next morning.
It is said that the expert Captain Bill stumbled and overslept, so he didn't have time to repair the malfunctioning engine of the "Bloody Mary," and couldn't brake in time, causing it to fall down the waterfall.
The already flimsy hull was instantly torn to pieces, leaving the group of seven with no choice but to trek through the rainforest to find the mysterious Satan Basin where the Blood Orchid was located.
About two hours later.
While wading across the river, the last doctor in the group, Ben Douglas, was swallowed whole by a nearly 20-meter-long python, letting out a piercing scream.
The group was so scared they wet themselves.
Qi Ming also thought it was outrageous.
He enjoys watching animal documentaries and various science programs, and knows that the longest modern python is probably no more than ten meters long.
But in this forest, it's just a small fry.
Unfortunately, those pythons are also very agile, which makes them difficult for ordinary people to handle.
Everyone except the villain Jack wanted to go back.
Before encountering the python and losing his satellite phone, Captain Bill had called his buddy to come pick him up, with a fare of five thousand dollars.
But when Bill arrived at the location in the afternoon, he found that his friend had "fallen into the river drunk" and the boat had hit the shore and exploded, making the whole thing a complete failure.
Actually, that guy had been drinking, but he wasn't drunk. He was actually swallowed by another python.
Actually, Jack also had a satellite phone in his bag.
It was evening.
The group found the abandoned camp of the headhunters, dismantled their houses, and made a bamboo raft.
Jack accidentally discovered the carving of the Blood Orchid and recalled that the reason these pythons were so huge was very likely because they had eaten the Blood Orchid and broken the "Heiflich limit" of cell division, as biology students call it.
As a result, everyone... still disagreed.
Jack's friend, executive Gordon Mitchell, also discovered the phone he had hidden.
After failing to persuade him, Jack threw the "Stone Spider," whose venom could be used to make more advanced anesthetics, onto the old black man and took a bite.
Jack's assistant, Sam, realized something was wrong and discovered that Jack had poisoned the old black man. As a result, a python came and ate the old black man, causing chaos.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jack stole the bamboo raft to go find Blood Orchid.
The others had to go to him and retrieve the raft because the other houses had also caught fire in the chaos, and they had no materials or tools left.
Looking at the blazing fire, Qi Ming was curious to know where the headhunters who had fled to avoid the giant python's greening period lived after they returned.
