Battlefield Contractor

Sergey was taken aback when he heard what he said. Put down the kettle and walked to him, looking down at the footprints on a stone.

"It seems to be true, it should be Black Mamba, or a brother with him." Sergey nodded.

"Don't you think it is strange? Since they found the water source, why didn't they contact us in time?" Lin Rui turned his head.

"Did they have an accident?" Sergey lowered, filling the kettle. While wanting to lean down to drink water.

Lin Rui pushed him away and spit in the water.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Sergey was inexplicable.

"Don't move, watch." Lin Rui waved his hand at him.

The saliva that Lin Rui spit in the water did not spread in the water.

Sergey was a little surprised.

"You can't drink this water." Lin Rui shook his head.

"Why?" Sergey was inexplicable.

"This is what I learned from the African Turks. It's a simple trick to identify whether the water is drinkable.

If the water can be drunk, the saliva spit in the water will spread around. And if the saliva does not spread to the surroundings, it means that the water cannot be drunk. "Lin Rui replied.

"What the **** is this, is it the superstition of indigenous Africans?" Sergey couldn't help but ask.

"You better believe what he said." Black Mamba walked over from a distance, "Come and do a favor."

"Where did your kid go? We are all worried to death." Sergey couldn't help being overjoyed.

"No way. This brother fainted and drank the water inside. He fell into the water after a few steps." Black Mamba accused the distance.

A mercenary lay there on the stone.

"What's the matter?" Lin Rui frowned.

"You can't drink this water. This brother is too thirsty, and we haven't had time for testing and purification. He bowed his head and drank from the stream.

After drinking, this head was planted in the water, and the communicator was also soaked in water. I can't contact you, and I have to give him first aid first.

Originally, I was ready to carry him back, but I rushed back when I heard a sound here. Fortunately, it is you. If it is a member of the secret society, I am carrying a wounded, I am afraid that there is no chance of winning. "Black Mamba shook his head.

"What the **** is going on with this water?" Sergey couldn't help asking, "Why can't I drink it?"

"Because the water may be poisonous," Lin Rui replied. "Some plants in the jungle are poisonous. They may be fruits or roots, branches and leaves.

Moreover, it is hot and humid here, and this kind of plants will quickly rot, and if it is washed by rain, these toxic substances will be soaked in the water. Thereby affecting the water quality.

Drinking this kind of water, if the condition is not serious, at most it will cause diarrhea or other gastrointestinal problems.

But if it is severe, it may cause acute poisoning. I guess this is the case in that place. "

"Damn it, I finally found the water source, but I couldn't get it. Is it useless to use disinfectants?" Sergey couldn't help asking.

"Disinfecting tablets for water purification may be able to remove some impurities and kill some parasites and microorganisms in the water. But for poisonous water, it is not very useful." Lin Rui shook his head.

"I think we should get this area back first. Then we can think of other ways. As for water, we can always find other ways." Hei Mamba walked over again and helped the mercenary on the ground.

"Help him." Lin Rui patted Sergey.

Sergey nodded and opened the way for him in front of Black Mamba.

Several people returned to the team together, and at this time another group of search teams also returned.

They found some fruits, mainly bananas and berries. Although the bananas are still green, Lin Rui and others have been in Africa for a long time and have long been accustomed to the African diet.

Roasted bananas are the daily food of many African tribes, and a few of them just ate a little.

Although they could not find drinking water, at least they found a stream. If you go upstream along the stream, you should find drinkable water.

After making up their minds, they changed their route and started walking up the stream.

Although I don't know why that stream contains toxins. But Lin Rui concluded that it should not be that the water itself is poisonous.

It is a stream, which is contaminated when it flows through some areas of poisonous plants.

This means that they have to go upstream, the more likely they are to encounter drinkable water. Everyone set off again and walked upstream along the stream.

Gonzalez suffered several times, but he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.

No matter what he asked him to do, he was very cooperative.

After walking twenty to thirty kilometers, Lin Rui tested the water quality of the stream again. The water in this section of the stream is much clearer than before, and it is not so toxic.

They even found some small fish jumping alive in the stream.

As long as it was confirmed that the water was no longer poisonous, Lin Rui and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They all carry water purification pills with them. This kind of water purification tablet is considered to be purified in a chemical way, mostly using chlorine and iodine.

Lin Rui and others used iodine tablets, which should be kept away from light and moisture. But the advantages of use are cheap, convenient, and light.

Generally, after adding water purification tablets to the water, it takes about 20 minutes to drink. But this way, if there are viruses in the water, it still cannot be removed, as are some parasites in the water.

The insurance method is to boil water, but they are currently on the run. There may be chasing soldiers behind him at any time.

It is impossible to spend too much time making a fire and boiling water. I can only rely on water purification tablets as much as possible.

Everyone filled the kettle with water, then put in the water purification tablets, and continued on the road.

The problem of water shortage is temporarily solved, and food is not a big problem, relatively speaking. Food can be found everywhere in the forest. In addition to bananas and other fruits, they can also find a kind of cassava.

In Africa, cassava is equivalent to Asian rice, noodles, and steamed buns. It is a staple food, not a snack or a fruit.

Many Africans just eat two cassava roots at noon and drink some water to get full.

This thing looks a bit like sweet potatoes when bitten into it, but it doesn't taste like taro or sweet. But in fact, this cassava also contains a small amount of toxins.

However, there is no major problem with eating small amounts. Africans use it as their staple food.

When they walked to the fourth day in a row, they were almost out of the edge of the jungle. Lin Rui suddenly felt flustered. He seemed to have a very bad premonition.

"What's the matter? You look bad." Nightingale looked at him.

"I don't feel right. We walked along the stream, and there are usually many birds in the jungle near the stream.

But this morning until now, we have been walking along the stream. Follow the instructions on the map and walk to the end of the woods.

But strangely, no traces of birds were found. In the past few days, many birds were usually found in the woods by the stream. "Lin Rui stopped slowly.
