Chapter 1021 1020. Making Fire (45)

A convoy of four cars left Durban and headed northwest along the highway.

After driving for about a day, there was no road, and they had to continue heading northwest.

The car drove for another half a day, and Li Du and his party were stunned: a large area of ​​almost primitive rainforest appeared in front of them, not to mention roads, there were no dirt roads, and it was almost impossible for them to drive in!

Li Du said helplessly: "Banana bug, your tribe is so far away? How did you get to the Jinsicao tribe?"

The plantain bug said: "Someone stays, let's go all the way."

"How far is it from your tribe here?"

The banana bug shook his head: "I've beaten this road beautifully, well, I have to chop it up."

Big Ivan chewed his gum and asked, "Boss, do you really want to go in? What about the car?"

Li Du looked back and saw that the surrounding area was deserted, and the car could not be stored. If it was placed here, with South Africa's law and order, when they come back, it is estimated that the car will not even be able to keep the tires.

However, they can't do it without walking, unless they don't look for the diamond mine that may exist.

So he hesitated for a while, and said decisively: "Go in and try, one day, if we can't find the tribe of Pygmies within one day, then we will come back!"

"Leave someone to guard?" Big Ivan continued to ask.

Li Du shook his head, and said: "Forget it, drive the car into the woods for concealment, and leave no one behind. If someone wants to steal the car, let them steal it. That way, you will lose a little money at most. If someone stays behind, there will be a conflict. Casualties would outweigh the gains.”

They drove the car in, and Brother Wolf and Big Ivan took Godzilla to hide the four cars.

Brother Wolf cut down some small trees and vines, and there was a big net on the car. He combined the net with the vines and made a concealment device like an auspicious suit. After covering it on the car, he couldn't find the car unless he saw it from a close distance. .

After tidying up, each of them carried a large backpack and a large handbag, which were filled with daily necessities to provide their day and night survival needs.

The woods were lush, and after entering from the edge, giant trees with a height of more than ten meters or even twenty or thirty meters appeared around them. This place was completely isolated from the outside world, like a primitive society.

Birds flew over their heads constantly, and they would startle some small animals from time to time. Brother Wolf led the team with Ah Miao, and Big Ivan led Ah Ao to break the rear.

There are snakes in the woods and some dangerous mosquitos, they have to respray every half hour to an hour.

Lu Guan was very careless. Once he didn't spray the medicine in time, he was bitten by a mosquito, and a meat bun similar to a soup dumpling swelled on his arm.

It was okay at first, but he was very itchy later on. Brother Wolf didn't allow him to scratch his skin. Instead, he sterilized the saber, made a small cross on the bag, and squeezed out some yellow liquid like serum from it.

"Aedes mosquito, everyone be careful, repel each other, don't let it bite, it's poisonous." Brother Wolf said solemnly after treating Luguan's wound.

It is difficult to travel in the primitive jungle. Brother Wolf keeps waving his long machete to cut through shrubs and vines, drive away mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, and strive to create a better traveling environment for the people behind.

At noon, Brother Wolf motioned for a rest, and they found a clearing in the woods, which was considered dry, with a clear river passing by, so it was a good place to camp.

Li Du and Sophie couldn't wait to sit down, and then the sound of comfortable exhalation sounded one after another.

Big Ivan came over with a piece of grass in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Are you tired? The distance is actually pretty good, and it's a bit strenuous to walk, but at least there is a perfect campsite."

Lu Guan lost half his life as he left, and said out of breath, "Oh, God, may the road ahead be more perfect."

The plantain worm did not rest. After entering the rainforest, he changed his mood. He was no longer as frightened and timid as before, but became confident and relaxed.

He was short and thin, like a monkey, and he walked through the woods without any effort.

Others rested, but he didn't rest, and said: "I'll go hack and chop. I'm familiar with the electricity, and it smells so good."

Li Du nodded, handed him a dagger, and said, "Be careful."

The plantain bug didn't take his dagger, but looked at the black mamba crossbow in his hand.

Li Du handed him the hand crossbow, and he happily took it in his hand, and walked away lightly with some short arrows on his back.

Brother Wolf was about to cook, but he rummaged through his backpack and suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Li Du saw that his expression was wrong.

Brother Wolf said, "I made a big mistake."

Li Du was a little nervous, he quickly stood up and said, "What's wrong?"

"No kindling!"

Li Du heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "What am I supposed to do, isn't it just kindling? Who took it?"

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, but none of them carried any kindling.

Big Ivan said helplessly: "Boss Wolf, have you lived comfortably for a long time? Didn't you even bring your tinker?"

Brother Lang looked even more ugly, and Li Du comforted him: "It's okay, the big deal is that we won't move forward, and besides, we brought instant food, so it doesn't matter if there is no fire."

"I have a way to light the fire, but I just don't think this kind of mistake should be done." Brother Wolf still had an ugly expression on his face. To him, this was a very low-level mistake.

Li Du has never thought about the issue of fire. In his black hole space, there are diamonds, money, jewelry, food, fresh water, and medicine, but there is no fire...

Brother Wolf looked up at the sky. He went to collect some dry bark and weeds, and then crushed the collected bark with a dagger and stones.

Li Du said: "You want to drill wood to make fire?"

Brother Wolf shook his head and said, "No, there is an easier way."

He ground the dry bark into powder, took out a clean airtight bag, and filled it with water.

When he came back with the bag, he found an angle, rolled the bag into an oblate spheroid as much as possible, and placed it on top of the bark powder.

Seeing this, Sophie laughed and said, "Is this a convex mirror? Good idea."

"What to do at night? Isn't the moonlight bad?" Lu Guan asked.

Brother Wolf said: "Evening is easier."

Not long after, a little white smoke appeared from the bark powder, and as the white smoke increased, suddenly, a small flame appeared.

Seeing this, Brother Wolf immediately put the hay in, and the fire was lit like this.

After cooking, they brought enough food, so they didn't go looking for wild game. Brother Wolf was worried that the blood of wild game would cause unnecessary trouble.

However, Big Ivan caught some small fish by the river, all of which were edible freshwater fish. Li Du brought seasonings and used them to cook a pot of soup.

These wild fish are delicious, and the stewed fish soup is full of umami. The dry cakes they bring are dipped in the hot fish soup, which is better than canned meat.

But from cooking to eating to resting, the plantain bugs never came back.
