Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

When Tariq returned from Chile, he absorbed a batch according to Zhao An's instructions.

赵安点头道：“不错，但是你要保持对组织成员的绝对掌控源"发；自;小.说,群:9;8、0!2，05?8'5：6！！权，记住我跟你说的，宁缺毋滥！”

Tariq said: "I see, they are all desperate wild dogs. Although they all have some strength, they are still far from meeting the requirements of the Lord."

Zhao Andao: "That's right. We've just started now, so we don't need to criticize you too much. Let's take it step by step. How is our route?"

Tariq replied: "No problem, I have chartered a total of 4 buses, and I can take you directly to Manalalupe."

Manalalup is not far from the Lost Castle that Zhao An discovered. It is an area belonging to the Central Amazon Reserve and the deepest part of the Amazon jungle.

Alpine and rainforest densely covered, inaccessible place.

Zhao An recognized Tariq's ability to handle affairs, and continued: "There is another thing I need you to do. Take two people to buy or lease a helicopter. This will be of great use to us!"

Helicopters are the key. In the depths of the jungle, it is difficult for people to get involved... Even if gold is found, more than 100 people alone cannot carry it out. This is why Zhao An must bring Yan Dong and Cao Heqing in his plan. .

Tariq thought for a while and said, "It should be no problem, I don't know what kind of helicopter the Lord wants!"

"Of course, the heavier the load, the better. In this regard, I will bring the two drivers and I will know how to arrange it." Zhao An said. "How's the sales situation in Rio? I mean large quantities of gold items." Zhao An asked.

Tariq replied honestly: "I'm sorry, my lord, I'm not very clear about this, can you let me go back and ask?"

Zhao An nodded and said, "Okay, if it's not convenient, you can contact me with the smuggling channel. I need to smuggle something to Huaxia. You are good at this!"

When Tariq used to hang out with Henderson, he was able to smuggle stolen famous paintings back to the United States even in Europe, and he was also able to smuggle a large number of famous paintings from the United States to China, and then detoured to China.

He is good at smuggling.

After waiting for several more hours, the Xiong'an soldiers chartered by Yuan Xiong finally arrived at Rio Airport.

Arranging the people on the bus, Zhao An led the brigade to Manalalupe.

Chapter 377

The expressways in Brazil have a long mileage, but the road conditions are not very good. They have been in disrepair for a long time. There are not many good road sections suitable for high-speed driving, and some road sections are quite congested.

So the convoy did not move fast, and when night fell, the convoy arrived at Cuiaba, the state capital of Mato Grosso, halfway through the journey.

Zhao An arranged for the convoy to stay in the hotel, and the soldiers found their rooms to wash and rest in an orderly manner.

"How long will it take to arrive..."

After a day of driving, Li Zhiyuan felt a little irritable, so she asked Zhao An.

Zhao An estimated the distance and said, "It's just halfway through the journey, and we're expected to arrive at our destination by this time tomorrow. By then we'll be camping in the rainforest?"

"Okay, okay," Li Zhiyuan said happily, "But having said that, you have brought so many people this time, so you are so sure that you will find Paititi on the map?"

It's so sure, sure, and certain...

But Zhao An didn't say it clearly, but laughed and said: "It's okay, just treat it as coming out to play,

We walked over the mountains together, across the deep sea,

In the future, we will experience clear sky, drizzle, gentle wind, and flowing clouds..."

"I will spend all the romance in life with you."

Li Zhiyuan hugged him with a smile like a flower, and said, "I'm dead, this little mouth looks like it's been smeared with honey!"

"I've been tired all day, hurry up and rest!" Zhao An whispered in her ear.

"OK......"

Li Zhiyuan buried her head in his shoulder and said softly.

In the morning of the next day, when it was still just dawn, everyone finally rested and continued on the road.

Only Li Zhiyuan kept complaining: "What kind of broken hotel are you looking for? There are too many fleas and bedbugs."

Hostels in Central and South America often receive backpackers who are looking for secrets and adventures, that is, "donkey friends", and it is not uncommon for them to have many fleas.

"Hehe, it's normal, maybe this is how they welcome you, and why don't they bite me?" Zhao An comforted.

"You also said, I guess your skin is too thick, even fleas can't bite through it, hehe..." Li Zhiyuan was amused by herself as she said that.

But she was right, a few fleas can't break Zhao An's defense at all.

After another day of long-distance driving, the convoy finally arrived at Manalalup, but Zhao An and the others did not enter the urban area, but directly arrived at the edge of the Amazon jungle.

Here is only more than 200 kilometers away from the Golden City discovered by Zhao An.

The soldiers were called together to get out of the car, and each of them carried the individual equipment that Zhao An had prepared for them, including tents, sleeping bags, drinking water and other necessary supplies.

Zhao An and Li Zhiyuan also put on strong and wear-resistant assault clothing, and put on non-slip and wear-resistant leather boots. They also each had a backpack, and then led the team into the endless Amazon rainforest.

As soon as he entered the jungle, Zhao An used the dagger he carried with him to cut off a branch, and by the way helped Li Zhiyuan also cut a branch.

This can be used both as a walking stick and as a polearm.

Liu Hanghan made a stop gesture, the team stopped abruptly, and then gathered together.

Zhao Anxun said: "This is the most dangerous jungle in the world. There are countless poisonous snakes and beasts in the jungle.

When you push away the grass, you should not only be careful of the poisonous snakes lurking in it, but also not let your guard down for the frogs that are only the size of a coin.

Because it could be a poison dart frog.

The most powerful snake venom will seal the throat with blood, but this kind of poisonous frog is dead on touch, killing people invisible.

So everyone must pay attention to their own protection, look carefully before stepping down, everyone is a veteran, so be more cautious in doing things.

An hour later we were bivouac in the jungle..."

"Now, in groups of three, let's go!"

The soldiers followed suit and cut off a branch with a knife and held it in their hands.

Then the 'enthusiastic' forest owner gave a lesson to the soldiers of the Xiong'an Regiment,

It was a kind of mosquito that was very big and had many small gray and white fluffs on its back. Its bite would turn into a big bump on the body, and it would not heal for a long time.

Gao Qiang and Liu Hanghan also discovered this problem, and ordered: "Everyone has mosquito repellent in their backpacks, spray some on exposed places, save some.

There is also a small tube of ointment on the side of the backpack for mosquito bites! "

There are also various poisonous insects living in the Amazon. The pain caused by the bite of the bullet ant is like being hit by a bullet.

More than 3000 species of spiders, most of which are venomous, are also found here.

Some of these species of tarantula are some of the most venomous spiders in the world, and a single bite can be fatal.

There are more than 100 kinds of poisonous frogs in the Amazon rainforest, and some of the colorful frogs are the famous poison dart frogs.

The toxin they secrete is the most poisonous toxin in the world, more poisonous than snake venom.

So when Zhao An was walking all the way, he carefully scouted through his real eyes to prevent hidden dangers in the jungle.

But there's really no good way to deal with mosquitoes...

Because of the heat, it is impossible for clothing to cover the entire body area, and bare skin is an invitation to mosquitoes.

They are pervasive, and once bitten by them, the pain and itchiness will inevitably cause people to scratch unconsciously, and scratching will lead to wound infection, which can be fatal under humid and high temperature conditions.

The traveling speed of the team was not very fast, and it took only five or six kilometers to go deep into the jungle in an hour. It seemed that everyone was still not very accustomed to the rainforest environment.

Moreover, the trees here are too dense. The trees tens of meters high block out the sun, and 99.9% of the sunlight will be blocked by dense branches and leaves.

Looking up, the sky looks like it is covered by layers of gauze, which is what it means to see the sun.

Although it is still daytime, it can be described as "dark" inside, and everyone's sight will be blocked by trees next to each other.

In this extremely claustrophobic environment, the atmosphere of the team gradually became a little depressing.

"stop!!!"

Suddenly, Zhao An yelled sharply, threw out a dagger quickly, and sank into a bush five meters ahead.

Then he stepped forward quickly, using a stick to push aside the bushes, and saw a giant yellow-brown snake violently swinging its body, and a sharp dagger nailed its entire head and neck into the soil.

This is an Amazon Bushmaster, a huge and highly venomous snake with a length of up to 3 meters. This one is also more than two meters long.

The Amazon Bushmaster is the largest venomous snake in the Western Hemisphere, and they are venomous enough to kill a person within an hour of being bitten.

This kind of snake is very rare. I didn't expect that the team came across one shortly after entering.

There are snakes?Seeing the scene ahead, the marching team stagnated slightly, while Gao Qiang Wang Bing was worried about Zhao An's safety and quickly stepped forward.

"Don't come here, it's not dead yet, Wang Bing, give me another dagger!"

Chapter 378

Gao Qiang and the two stepped forward regardless, and Wang Bing took out the dagger directly, and threw it with a 'swish', hitting the seven-inch position of the huge belly.

"It's ok...I didn't expect you, Old Wang, to have such a hand!" Gao Qiang praised.

The so-called seven inches refers to the heart of the snake, which is also the origin of the snake hitting seven inches...

After a while, the Amazon's huge belly finally stopped struggling and was completely dead.

Gao Qiang stepped forward, stepped on the snake's head with one foot, directly stepped on the snake's head into the soil, grabbed Zhao An's dagger with one hand, and cut off the snake's head.

Wang Bing also went up to pick up his own dagger, and then lifted the tail of the snake. He lifted up the two-meter-long Amazon's huge belly.

Li Zhiyuan, whose face was a little pale, hugged Zhao An from behind and said, "I was scared to death, you can't do this in the future..."

Zhao An patted her hand and said, "It's okay, isn't it just a long worm, Gao Qiang, how about roasting it for dinner at night?"

"No problem!" Gao Qiang said with a smile.

Then he said seriously to the soldiers: "Everyone pay attention to your feet, maybe a trivial detail may cause bad consequences."

Zhao An also said: "There is still more than one kilometer to arrive at the campsite we booked. Everyone work hard, and we can set up tents to eat and rest when we arrive at the place."

Wang Bing folded the headless snake, put it on his shoulders, and took the lead to walk in the direction Zhao An pointed, followed by Gao Qiang.

Li Zhiyuan's face recovered a bit, and she whispered: "I was scared to death, I haven't seen such a big snake with my own eyes, it's still a poisonous snake..."

Zhao An chuckled and said, "So you are afraid of snakes, I thought you were not afraid of anything!"

Li Zhiyuan stared stubbornly and said: "I'm not afraid... After Gao Qiang is done baking, I'll show you!"

The place Zhao An chose to camp was an open space. It was said to be an open space, but in fact there were still some low trees, but compared to other towering giant trees in the jungle, they seemed relatively low.

One advantage of choosing this place is that it is leeward and close to the water, and not far from here is a stream of the Amazon water system.

What are the three most important points for surviving in the jungle?Water, food, shelter.

With the water source, Gao Qiang, Liu Hanghan and the company commander commanded the team to clean up the site, using their engineering shovels to eradicate the weeds on the ground, and then set up the tent.

Zhao Anzha's tent was located in the center of the camp, and he also cleared a small area by himself, and pitched their tent together with Li Zhiyuan.

Wang Bing's tent was next to the two of them. At this time, Wang Bing had already set up the tent and lit the fire.

Gao Qiang came over to help deal with the body of the giant belly, peeled off the snake's skin, removed the internal organs... cut it into finger-length sections, and then put it on the fire to roast.

The other soldiers didn't have this kind of treatment. They took out self-heating dry food one after another, and started to eat after heating.

Zhao An took the branch that Gao Qiang had skewered snake meat on, grilled it and said, "I'll let you know later.

If you need water, go to the stream below to get water. Don’t go down privately. There are piranhas in the water.

That guy is very aggressive, and he will be gnawed into a skeleton by you within a few minutes of being alive. "

Gao Qiang chuckled, handed the branch with the snake meat on it to Wang Bing, and ran over to send the notice by himself.

"Are piranhas delicious? How about we catch a few and roast them together?" Li Zhiyuan asked curiously.

Zhao An said solemnly: "I checked before I came here, and the piranhas here are also called piranhas, which are a type of piranha.

Like most pomfrets, it is indeed edible. The taste is similar to that of pomfret. The body of the fish is thicker than that of white pomfret. The taste is not as delicate as snapper and grouper, but it is more chewy. ,.

Are you sure you want to eat? "

As Zhao An spoke, his expression became strange.

Li Zhiyuan smiled shyly and said: "Forget it, people eat fish, and fish also eat people, when will the injustice be repaid..."

Zhao An raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not impossible. In this case, you roast here first, and I will take Wang Bing down to have a look."

It turned out that when the few people were talking just now, Zhao An stepped into the view beside the stream, and two red deer appeared beside the stream, drinking water cautiously by the stream.

Good guy, this is thinking that the soldiers of the Xiongan Regiment are not eating well, are you going to give everyone extra meals?
