I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 13 Crisis at Night
Everyone has to carry their own backpack, which doesn't contain much stuff, just a few days' food, a raincoat and one or two sets of spare clothes. The tent and sleeping bag are not heavy. The heaviest things are a few days' food and water.

"Don't pack too little water, pack enough for the day, because in the rain forest we will only stop and wait for you at the campsite in the evening.

Only when you stop will you have a chance to boil water!

I remind you again, do not drink raw water after entering the rainforest, otherwise malaria may prevent you from leaving the rainforest.

Also, if each of you has not prepared more than two 300-gram cans of gas, you can refill them now.

If you want to make a fire in the rainforest, you may not be able to find dry firewood, but you must boil water. This is the importance of gas.

Don’t bring unnecessary extra clothes, clean up your messy luggage, and buy unimportant things when you arrive in Panama.

Check it again!"

Antonio repeated what he had said last night, and after everyone confirmed it, he set off.

Under the guidance of an experienced guide, everyone used flashlights as headlamps and carried backpacks as they entered the rainforest.

Chen Yaozu glanced at the female reporter and saw that her fifteen or sixteen-year-old daughter was also carrying a big bag and was following behind her with some excitement.

"Mr. Chen, let's go!"

Cindy came over with her bag on her back and said hello, but she saw him looking back. She followed his gaze and saw that it was the mother and daughter.

"Mr. Chen, if you want to help them carry their things, this is not a good choice."

How could I help them carry things?
Since this mother and daughter are heading for freedom, the suffering they endure along the way is nothing more than the hardships they experience on the road to freedom. I believe they can withstand it.

What has it got to do with me?
Chen Yaozu was thinking about it and was about to explain, but Cindy had already explained it before him.

"Mr. Chen, it's like this!
On the road from Colombia to Panama, crossing the border rainforest, it is not allowed to carry things for others.

Everyone needs to carry what they are supposed to carry.

It must include medicine, food and all the necessary supplies.

Because, if you are fast, you can cross the tropical rainforest in five or six days. If it rains a lot and the road is slippery and difficult to walk on, it may take more than ten days.

During these five, six or ten days, anything can happen. The most common thing is getting lost in the rainforest.

In this case, if someone else helps you carry your supplies, then once that person gets lost, he will be dead in the rainforest.

Therefore, unless the child is tied to his mother, no matter how small he is, as long as he can walk, he must carry the supplies he is supposed to carry.

This is necessary for survival.

Of course, we are just advising and suggesting.

It doesn’t matter whether you listen or not. Once you start walking, you will basically not stop to wait for anyone until you reach the camping spot.

Once you get separated, you can only rely on your luck. "

Cindy explained it very clearly, but it was in vain because Chen Yaozu had no intention of helping others carry things, so he just nodded.

"Then you follow?"

"Ok!"

Chen Yaozu responded, followed Cindy's footsteps, and rushed into the jungle night.

Zeng Hongbing is indeed a man from Northeast China. Perhaps he was attracted by the charm of the young reporter, so he followed the mother and daughter all the way. At the beginning, he even showed his humor as a northern man.

As I walked, I felt that I could save some energy by not speaking.

Although it was dawn shortly after they entered the jungle, they did not see the sun because the trees in the rainforest were too dense.

It was difficult for sunlight to penetrate the leaves and reach them as they walked underneath.

On the contrary, when the sun came out, the heat wave evaporated the moisture on the ground, and the moisture made all the clothes stick to their bodies, and they couldn't tell whether it was dew or sweat.

The ground was also very slippery, and it was normal for travelers who did not often travel through mountains and rivers to fall.

Antonio, Cindy, and the other two took turns to clear the way. Although they had walked and made a path before, the grass and bushes in the rain forest grew very fast and soon covered the path they had walked before. The people clearing the way needed to be vigilant to see if there were poisonous snakes, wasps, and anything else that could be deadly in the trees.

There is a soul wandering around Chen Yaozu that is invisible to others and can occasionally remind him where there is potential danger.

So he walked with ease along the way, even more leisurely than the experienced Antonio and others, after all, he was very strong.

After using his Taoist skills to fully immerse himself in the practice of the Five Animal Play, he discovered that being reborn was not just talk, and his physical fitness was completely different from before.

I am not just a little bit better than others.

With just a backpack, it is no problem to walk for ten days, let alone one day.

"Zu, aren't you tired?"

Zeng Hongbing and the mother and daughter were the last to arrive at the resting place. As soon as they arrived there, they collapsed on the ground like everyone else.

Several people nearly fainted from exhaustion halfway through the journey, but they knew no one would pamper them here, so they didn't dare to fall behind and managed to hold on.

Apart from the experienced guides, the only one who was still calm and composed here was Chen Yaozu.

The most important thing was that he was carrying that huge bag as if it was nothing, which was in stark contrast to the others who looked exhausted.

Facing Zeng Hongbing's surprise, Chen Yaozu smiled and said, "I am in good health and have good endurance!"

After saying that, he began to tidy up his campsite.

This is a flat spot in the rainforest, under a huge fig tree.

In the rain forest, there is not much time left to travel and it gets dark quickly.

So when Antonio and his companions reached the first camping site along this route, they stopped walking, even though there was still light coming through the gaps in the treetops.

"Everyone, it's time to set up the tents. It gets dark very quickly in the rain forest. If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to do a lot of things before it gets dark."

After carefully making sure that there was no danger around, Antonio told everyone to prepare for camping.

Time was running out. Even though they had only been walking for most of the day, they still needed to hurry up and after setting up the tent, split into a few people and follow a guide to fetch water. The remaining people would then form a group and follow another guide to collect firewood.

Although it is difficult to pick up dead branches and firewood in the rainforest, they try their best to pick them up.

Even if you bring gas, it is only used when there is no other choice.

Moreover, there would be many more dangers without a fire in the rainforest. Fortunately, even in the tropical rainforest, there are still dry mosses in the tree holes that have not been wetted, and there are still small trees that have died due to lack of sunlight.

Although in the rainforest, neither the moss nor the dead trees are so dry and not so easy to ignite.

But in front of the gas stove, everything seems so simple.

Anyway, since ancient times, no matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, even something as simple as starting a fire, as long as there is a start, it will be much easier afterwards.

No one had the conditions to take a shower in this tropical rain forest, so almost everyone changed their wet clothes and hung them by the fire to dry them, then put on another set of dry clothes in their backpacks and went into the tent and fell asleep instantly.

They are so tired!
As for the guides, after they had properly arranged the fires in the four corners of the camp, they began to take turns keeping watch.

I have to say, very professional ethics.

Chen Yaozu was not tired, so he did not go into the tent to sleep so quickly. He stood aside and watched Antonio, Cindy and others arrange everything in an orderly manner very leisurely.

For example, there are small traps and bells to prevent wild animals from approaching, which requires high vigilance!

I feel like I learned something new.

"Mr. Chen, go to bed early tonight before it rains!
It won’t be a good place to sleep if it rains!”

Although Cindy is a woman, she has many experiences of hiking in tropical rainforests and is very familiar with the jungle. She does not feel too tired or hard.

Chen Yaozu was just about to reply with a smile that he would go to sleep soon, but he saw the Brazilian female ghost he had subdued quickly float back from the woods and speak something in Portuguese.

Chen Yaozu's face changed drastically after hearing this. He grabbed Cindy's shoulders and said, "Ask Antonio to wake everyone up. We are being targeted by two 7-8 meter long anacondas!"
