In the dense rainforest, a river meandered through.
The arrival of the rainy season had caused swamps to appear everywhere. A large number of creatures gathered here, and the plants were especially lush.
Because of the mud and rotting animals and plants, the water here was not clean, and it emitted a foul smell.
"Uh … cough cough …"
Suddenly, a man's wheezing and coughing could be heard in this unfrequented dense forest …
Beside the lush roots of a tree, a man in ragged clothes slowly opened his eyes.
The man looked to be in his forties or fifties. His hair was mostly gray, and there were some fine lines at the corners of his eyes. His eyes were slightly turbid.
His face was pale and haggard. Half of his body was lying on the wet tree roots, and the other half was in the swamp.
He opened his eyes and looked at the dense trees and vines. The man was in a daze for a while, and his mind was blank.
Where was he? What was this place? What was wrong with his body?
While the man was trying to recall, he felt that his left hand that was in the swamp was very painful …
It was as if something was biting him?!
The man frowned. Through his experience, he immediately knew what was under the water.
He gritted his teeth and hooked his left thumb. Then, he flipped his body and pulled the thing under the water out!
It was a black wild catfish that looked to be at least six to seven kilograms. It bit the man's hand with its big mouth and swung its tail vigorously!
Obviously, the catfish treated his hand as food!
When the man saw the fish, he realized that his stomach was rumbling. He was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back!
His body had suffered a great deal of exhaustion, and he needed to immediately replenish some energy.
The man did not hesitate. He pounced forward and directly bit off the catfish's nerves. Then, he began to eat it in big mouthfuls!
Freshwater fishes were basically non-toxic and could be eaten raw. Although this kind of wild catfish was a little polluted and carried some bacteria, in this urgent situation, the surrounding humidity was high, and it was impossible to start a fire, so eating it raw was the best way.
Moreover, he had to eat it quickly because food would go bad very quickly in this kind of place.
The man was not picky about food. He had eaten too much raw meat since he was young, so he did not mind the strong fishy smell at all.
When the catfish entered his stomach, the man wiped the blood from his mouth, panted a few times, and slowly stood up.
His physical strength had finally recovered a little.
However, he had already discovered that his body was currently extremely weak, whether it was the strength of his muscles, perception, sensitivity, and so on …
All the cells in his body, including the cells in his brain, had deteriorated to a very low level.
He roughly felt that his current physical state was at most that of a strong, ordinary person.
Moreover, there were some changes in his appearance.
This could be seen from the wrinkled skin of his hands, which had already aged a lot.
The man walked to the edge of the swamp and looked at the water …
When he saw the face of the middle-aged man in the reflection clearly, a bitter smile appeared on the man's face …
"Not bad … at least … I'm still alive."
The man muttered to himself. He would not grieve in vain, so he quickly accepted reality.
Then, he looked around and began to think about what to do next.
It seemed that no matter what he did next, he had to get out of here first and find a place to stay.
The best way to get out of the rainforest was to follow the river, because most people lived by the river.
The man had rich experience in surviving in the wild, so he was not afraid of some snakes, insects, and wild beasts.
He walked from morning to afternoon, and along the way, the man constantly ate wild fruits or small river shrimps that he could gather.
Although his hunger had been eliminated, his body had not truly recovered yet …
The man suddenly realized that he might have injured his foundation this time. He was like a spring that had been pulled to its limit and had already lost the ability to recover …
Perhaps, it was already a blessing from the heavens that he was able to survive. He couldn't ask for nothing to really happen to him.
The man comforted himself as he thought of a countermeasure and continued on his way …
Suddenly, just as he was about to walk out of a river valley, he heard a series of hurried footsteps in front of him!
"Run! Run to the front! Don't stop! Hide behind a rock!! "
A woman's voice came over, speaking in Spanish.
The man listened and felt that the voice was a little familiar, but he felt that it was unlikely to be the woman in his memory.
"Bang bang! Bang bang bang!! "
The sound of gunfire caused the man to be shocked. He realized that the situation in front of him was definitely not simple!
He hesitated for a moment, but he still quickened his pace and ran over.
At this moment, his running speed made him feel like a tortoise crawling, but there was nothing he could do about it. This was already the limit he could reach now!
After walking out of the forest, the man saw four to five men and women dressed in plain clothes, with a few children who looked to be seven or eight years old. They were shivering and hiding behind a few large rocks.
In front of them, there was a woman and two men. Three black-haired and yellow-skinned soldiers dressed in camouflage clothes were fighting with more than ten ferocious bandits!
These bandits were holding guns, but these three soldiers all knew ancient martial arts. When they fought together, the group of bandits screamed incessantly.
When the man saw the female soldier's appearance clearly, his body froze for a moment. His eyes revealed a trace of surprise and he couldn't help but laugh …
Everything in front of him made the man feel a little incredulous. It was as if the heavens were playing a joke on him!
Just as the man was in a daze, a bandit quietly went around a low slope and ran up to the back. He raised his submachine gun and planned to massacre the group of men and women who were carrying children!
The female soldier who was fighting was the first to notice the fish that had escaped the net. She turned around and screamed, "Be careful!"
However, it was too late. The bandit had already run up and raised his gun, shouting, "Go to hell!"
Seeing that these civilians were about to die, the man instinctively picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the bandit!
"Tutututu!" — — "
The bandit's head was smashed, his gun shook, and all the bullets were fired!
Only then did the female soldier realize that there was an unfamiliar middle-aged man behind her!?
The key was … This man's back made her heart throb. He looked inexplicably familiar …
When the man saw that he had succeeded in throwing the stone, he quickly ran over. Although his body was very weak and he couldn't use any martial arts, he still didn't forget the basic ancient martial arts.
Taking advantage of the moment when the bandit turned around and was about to attack him, he lowered his body, grabbed the bandit's arm, and threw him to the ground with a shoulder throw!
Then, without a word, he kicked the bandit's head, causing him to faint!
The man gasped for breath. He had already used all of his strength. If it was him in the past, this guy's head would have exploded long ago. But now, he was only kicked unconscious …
Taking advantage of this time, the female soldier and the two male soldiers had already beaten up the remaining bandits and made them flee in panic.
The three soldiers walked back, wondering who the middle-aged man was.
"Sir, thank you for your warm help. May I ask who you are?" “
A female soldier with shoulder-length hair walked over valiantly. Her oval-shaped face, which was the color of wheat due to frequent exposure to the sun, was covered in fine beads of sweat. Under her camouflage military uniform, her breasts rose and fell.
The man turned around and saw the "Peacekeeping Force" symbol on the woman's shoulder. He suddenly understood why they didn't kill a single person and only chased them away.
"Heh … Although I'm quite old, I should still be able to recognize you, right?" The man said with a gentle smile.
At this moment, the female soldier's beautiful eyes froze. Her delicate body trembled as she stood on the spot. Her sexy red lips were open, as if her soul had left her body. She was speechless for a long time, completely stunned …
"Long time no see, Lingshan …"
Ye … Ye … Ye Fan?!
Xu Ling Shan's eyes were brimming with tears as she choked with sobs.
