Chapter 12 Yang Li signaled everyone to rest here briefly, build a second temporary camp, and establish contact with the first temporary camp.
Water sources were a major target for survey, so collection and testing began quickly.
"When we come back next time, let the engineers bring tree-cutting tools, and then build a road directly from our initial camp to get here."
Yang Li said in the communicator at this time: "When the time comes, drive the off-road vehicle and drive all the way here, so that you don't have to take the No. [-] bus so hard."
Everyone responded in agreement.
Chen Lin wore protective clothing and other equipment and walked in the forest for almost an hour. At this time, he was somewhat tired.
Even though you are wearing an exoskeleton, this thing can only reduce wear and tear, but it does not mean that you can't exert any strength.
At this time, he was sitting on a rock, trying to regain his strength as much as possible.
Chen Lin kept looking at the water surface not far away. The sparkling lake scenery was quite good. He noticed a soldier not far away using a bottle to fill water, but the next second he saw the soldier being killed by someone in the water. The thing was dragged directly into the lake at extremely fast speeds!
Whoa!
The sound of water splash is not loud, and it can even be said that it is insignificant to everyone wearing protective clothing.
The guy collecting lake water samples was alone and so fast that others didn’t even notice! Chen Lin immediately reported to the communicator, and Yang Li immediately stood up and ran towards the lake.
Sure enough, he saw a huge shadow in the lake, and the camouflage protective clothing was looming in the water! "Damn!"
Yang Li immediately said angrily through the communicator: "What are so many people doing? Who asked him to go to the lake alone to collect lake water samples!?"
Several people in charge of such projects were at a loss for words for a moment. They were responsible for collecting different things. When the accident happened just now, they were all on the shore collecting vegetation next to the lake.
As Yang Li spoke, he quickly began to take off his protective clothing. Someone beside him did the same action with him, and someone else took out a foldable hovercraft and used the inflatable device to expand the hull crazily.
In just a few dozen seconds, Yang Li and two soldiers were already on the hovercraft fully armed, running towards the camouflage protective clothing that was being dragged farther and farther in the water!
All three of them had taken off their protective clothing and didn't even wear gas masks.
From where Chen Lin was standing, he couldn't see clearly the scene on the water in the distance, and the reflected light made him squint his eyes.
But soon he heard an exclamation coming from the communicator.
Immediately, everyone on the shore shouted and began to frantically pull the ropes connected to the hovercraft in the distance.
The hovercraft was quickly pulled close to the shore.
Only then did Chen Lin see clearly that there were four people on the hovercraft at this time.
Yang Li was soaked all over and dragged a soldier covered in blood directly to the shore. The other two men fired wildly at the water not far away.
As the sound of firearms sounded, Chen Lin quickly noticed something rolling under the water and attacking the hovercraft! A huge black shadow suddenly appeared on the water, and the next second the black shadow rushed out from under the water.
It was a huge python of incalculable size!
Everyone on the shore was shocked by the sudden appearance of the giant python. This thing was probably about the same size as the giant python in Python Disaster!
The giant python was gray-white all over, with huge tentacles on its head. From Chen Lin's perspective, it was at least nearly one meter in diameter! The giant python suddenly jumped out of its upper body and wanted to directly attack Yang Li who was running ashore.
However, a hissing sound of exhaust gas quickly came from the crowd on the shore.
Bazooka! Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin saw a rocket launcher suddenly shoot into the giant python, instantly blasting through half of the giant python's body! A soldier rushed directly down, first helped Yang Li and the following two soldiers directly to the shore, and then he pulled the trigger in his hand towards the giant python.
Fire dragon-like flames instantly spurted out from the muzzle of his gun!The giant python was burned by the flames, roaring and making strange screams that made the eardrums of everyone on the shore hurt.
But the sound only lasted for a few seconds and ended because the giant python couldn't withstand the thousands of degrees of heat from the flamethrower! It tried to retreat into the lake, but it was too late. The flamethrower burned the upper body of the giant python in just an instant, and the continuous burning made it emit the aroma of barbecue.
Soldiers holding flamethrowers stepped forward to confirm that the fallen python was dead before turning around and going ashore.
At this time, the soldiers rescued by their captain had already taken off their protective clothing.
"There was a penetrating injury to the abdomen, and there was a bit of blood loss, but fortunately it was not fatal."
The medical soldiers accompanying the team quickly checked the guy's wounds, opened his eyelids and took a look, and noticed that the eyeballs had turned dark red.
"It seems he was poisoned...I tried to give him an injection of antidote!"
Yang Li was sitting on the side panting at this time. The rescuers here could not help him, so he simply stood up and squeezed out of the crowd.
Chen Lin noticed that Yang Li looked a little exhausted. Recalling the way this fierce man rushed to save people just now, he really admired him.
"This python is so big, how did you rescue it from the snake's mouth?"
Yang Li waved his hand, now thinking about it with some lingering fear: "This bitch doesn't use his mouth, he uses the people he curls up with his tentacles."
"I jumped down and cut off its tentacles with a knife, then dragged the man onto the boat with the help of two people on the boat."
"fierce!"
Chen Lin gave Yang Li a thumbs up, and Yang Li also smiled: "This is nothing."
He stood up, looked at the medical staff performing emergency rescue operations in the distance, and frowned slightly.
"My concern is that this guy isn't going to make it."
"how come?"
"The creatures here are different from those on Earth. The toxin is in the snake's body. I don't know if the antidote we brought is effective."
Yang Li said worriedly: "If we can't hold on, this guy may become the first soldier we sacrifice here."
Chen Lin couldn't help, and seemed a little helpless after hearing this.
"Although I had been prepared for this before, after actually seeing it, I still felt a little...indescribable."
Yang Li came forward and patted Chen Lin on the shoulder.
"This is not your problem, don't have any psychological burden."
"This is an inevitable step for humans to explore the new world, and anyone may encounter it."
"We are now in a brand new world. We are the first explorers of this world. Some possible sacrifices are normal."
"But although I am also very sad that this guy was injured, what I am more angry about is that he did not strictly follow the guidelines in the manual to carry out the collection work."
However, Yang Li's tone soon became much stern, "Everyone must undergo rigorous training. Everything in the new world is very likely to be full of dangers. If we don't realize this, what will happen next?" There will be more injuries or even sacrifices!”
"It seems I need to compile a detailed report when I get back."
