"Qiao Xike, are you sure you want to go in with us?" Klaus asked.
"Klaus, don't you believe in my abilities?" Qiao Xike looked at Klaus with dissatisfaction. "Nami is a woman too. If she can go in, why can't I?"
Nami turned her head. She was the only woman in the Lightning Squad.
Nami had nothing to say about Qiao Xike comparing her to her.
She couldn't tell Qiao Xike that she was stronger than him.
"Okay, okay, I don't mean anything else," Klaus said. "I just think that we need a contact person outside. If we run into trouble, someone can come and save us."
"That's easy," Qiao Xike said. "I know someone here. He can be the contact person temporarily."
Not long after, Qiao Xike found the person. He was a local native. He was only 1.6 meters tall and had dark skin, but his eyes looked very sharp.
"Klaus, let me introduce you. This is Moji."
"Hello, I'm Klaus."
Klaus shook hands with Moji.
"Mr. Klaus, how may I be of service?"
"If we don't come back after fifteen days in the rainforest, you can call this number and help me explain the situation to them."
"Okay, that's easy." Moji nodded.
…
The group of seven entered the rainforest from the entrance.
"Klaus, who's that number?" Qiao Xike asked curiously.
"Our boss," Klaus said. "He can solve any problem."
"This is the Amazon rainforest, the most dangerous place in the world," Qiao Xike said. "You don't need strength here, you need to be careful."
"Our boss is so powerful that he can ignore all danger," Nami said.
Qiao Xike looked at Klaus and the other members of the Lightning Squad. They all had a look of faith in their eyes.
But her rationality told her that this was wrong.
The Amazon rainforest had welcomed countless people who thought they were invincible.
However, no one who stepped into this primitive and mysterious land with such a mentality could walk out alive.
This wasn't a war between humans. It was the ultimate test of humanity against nature.
The dangers here came from all aspects. Animals, plants, and the climate and environment.
For example, the most venomous animal in the world, the Poison Arrow Frog.
The venom of the Poison Arrow Frog was so strong that it didn't need to enter the mouth or the bloodstream. As long as it came into contact with the skin, it could directly penetrate the skin.
There was once a researcher who dripped a drop of poison dart frog secretion on the back of his hand. His hand felt like it was being burned, and he died after suffering for three days.
Modern medicine could not do anything about it. If the poison of the Poison Dart Frog came into contact with a human's wound, it would be even easier. It would only take ten minutes.
There were also all kinds of poisonous snakes, all kinds of deadly and disease-causing insects, all kinds of poisonous snakes, and all kinds of ferocious beasts.
After entering the rainforest, the humidity in the air had increased significantly.
The higher the humidity, the more pineal hormone secreted by the human body's pineal glands. The pineal hormone would cause the cells to become inactive, and the person would become listless, listless, and powerless.
At the same time, due to the high humidity, body heat could not be released, and heat stroke would occur.
Prolonged heat stroke can cause brain death.
It was not Qiao Xike's first time in the Amazon rainforest, but even though she had been there many times, she still could not get used to it.
This was the zone with the most extreme humidity on Earth.
They used three hours to walk past the safe zone and began to face the true nature of the rainforest.
Just then, it started to rain cats and dogs.
In the tropical rainforest, the rain was very frequent, and it was without any warning.
In most cases, the rainfall was very small, maybe a few square kilometers or more than a dozen square kilometers, and there was no pattern to it.
But the duration was very short, and the rainfall was very heavy.
But this rain was very beneficial to the team.
The washing of the rain made the air fresh, and at the same time, it took away the accumulated heat in their bodies.
"Phew … So comfortable." Klaus took off his hat and twisted the rainwater on his head.
Of course, the rain also brought them some trouble, and the ground under their feet became muddy.
Just then, a large river appeared in front of them.
The Amazon River was the largest river in the world, and it had so many branches that satellites could not scan it clearly.
Also, the changes in the Amazon River were very frequent, and the river changed its course almost every day.
As long as there was enough water in a depression, it could form a river, and then it could connect to the main river.
The river was about 30 meters wide, not very big, but the water was very turbulent and muddy, and they could not see the depth of the river.
"Everyone, cut a tree branch, and we will cross the river," Klaus ordered.
"Pay attention to what is in the water," Qiao Xike reminded.
"Qiao Xike, you follow behind me," Klaus said.
"I am more familiar with this place than you," Qiao Xike said. "I will take the lead."
Qiao Xike was very dissatisfied with Klaus's arrangement of her in the middle of the team.
She felt that she was qualified to stand in any position in the team.
"It is just a river," Klaus said. "Also, I am the team leader now, so please listen to my orders."
Qiao Xike was helpless. Klaus had already used the tone of the team leader, so she had to obey.
No matter the situation, soldiers had to obey the orders and arrangements of their superiors.
The river was not as deep as they thought. The deepest part was less than two meters, and the mud on the riverbed was not thick, so it should be a branch that had changed course recently.
Since it was a river that had changed course recently, the possibility of crocodiles could be ruled out.
At the same time, the speed of the river could also rule out the possibility of water eels. Water eels would not be active in water where the river flowed too fast. They preferred slow flowing river water or lurked in swamps.
Because their bodies were too heavy, they were not good swimmers, and it was very likely that they would be washed away by the river.
Everyone went ashore one by one, and suddenly Nami, who was at the back, screamed.
Everyone immediately turned to look at Nami and saw her trembling in the water.
Qiao Xike's expression changed. "Not good, she encountered an electric eel."
Then, Nami raised her arm, and in her hand was an electric eel that was as thick as an arm and about 15 kilograms. "We have an extra meal tonight. Ah … such a strong voltage."
Qiao Xike stared at Nami in astonishment. This was an adult electric eel, and its voltage could reach 800 volts.
But Nami only twitched slightly, and there was no intense electric shock.
Could it be that this woman has undergone electric shock training?
