50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 889 Drive away
Besides bullet ants, there are also poison dart frogs. It is said that the more beautiful something is in nature, the more poisonous it is, and poison dart frogs are exactly like that.

Their skin is brightly colored, with blue, green, red, and yellow hues, but the venom secreted from this colorful skin is extremely deadly to humans.

Moreover, this toxin does not require injection to enter the human body; it can be absorbed through skin contact alone. The toxin contained in the skin of a single poison dart frog is enough to kill ten adults.

Similar creatures include Brazilian wandering spiders, vampire bats, giant leeches, giant centipedes, and even beautiful butterflies possessing deadly venom.

Even these deadly animals are not unavoidable; as long as you are properly equipped, you can keep the danger away from your body.

The problem is that there are many things that are more deadly and harder to defend against than these animals.

For example, mosquitoes.

The rainforest is swarming with mosquitoes, each carrying a large number of germs and viruses. They can spread a variety of infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever.

Many germs and viruses have never appeared in the outside world, making it difficult for the human body's immune system to defend against them.

The three yellow fever patients in the Koviha tracking team likely contracted the disease in this way.

Besides animals, there are also plants; of the 4000 billion plants in the rainforest, 32.7% contain highly poisonous substances.

The ground and tree bark are covered with fungal spores and hallucinogenic moss, and countless animals and water contain unknown viruses and a large number of parasites.

Once you enter the rainforest, it's like facing assassination attempts from all sides at any moment.

While Sun Zhiwei could rely on equipment and space to defend against deadly animals and plants, he truly had no way to resist invisible fungal spores.

Fortunately, those things were mostly deep in the rainforest, and he didn't think these people could have survived that far.

After setting off from Koviha, Sun Zhiwei quickly followed the footprints of "Big Fish" and his group, and finally found them in the space two hours later.

It's truly incredible that someone like "Big Fish," who's spent his life sitting in an office and living a life of luxury, can now keep up with mercenaries and traverse the rainforest.

Sun Zhiwei couldn't help but marvel at how the human will to survive can truly unleash the body's unprecedented potential.

He also noticed that each of the nine people in the group carried a similar cowboy backpack, which contained similar adventure gear.

However, instead of tents, they brought hammocks, which was a good idea. In the jungle, hammocks are safer, lighter, and easier to carry than tents.

It seems they were prepared to enter the jungle long ago.

Despite their early departure and Sun Zhiwei's two-hour run, the distance to Koviha is actually less than 20 kilometers.

This demonstrates the difficulty of traveling through the jungle, and this is only on the outskirts of the Amazon rainforest.

Sun Zhiwei followed the road they had cleared, saving himself a lot of trouble.

At this moment, the "big fish" team suddenly stopped, and the mercenary leader, after assessing the terrain, began to walk to the left and then to the west.

Upon seeing this, Sun Zhiwei also took out a map and a compass, and, like the mercenary leader, judged the distance by the speed of movement and then used the compass to determine the direction.

Having more skills is never a bad thing; it's always useful to learn more practical wilderness survival techniques.

They wanted to head west, specifically towards Peru. As you can see on the map, about 100 kilometers west of their current location, they would see a highway carved out of the jungle by Brazil: National Highway 317.

These paved roads that cut through the rainforest took a lot of effort from the Brazilian government. Not only did many people die during their construction, but the maintenance of these roads also costs a lot of money every year.

However, this is unavoidable, because 80% of Brazil's landmass is located in the tropics, and the main body of the Amazon rainforest is within Brazil.

Without these roads, Brazil would be fragmented by the rainforest.

This reminded Sun Zhiwei of how, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country began to build highways and railways to the west, northwest, and southwest at any cost, and the reason was the same.

If the "big fish" and his gang find the highway, Sun Zhiwei's goal will be ruined, which is naturally unacceptable.

Therefore, Sun Zhiwei began to advance westward ahead of time, preparing to ambush them in their direction of advance.

However, this time there was no one to clear the way. Fortunately, he had spatial cutting ability, and all obstacles in his path could not withstand a single spatial slash.

When he actually started clearing the way himself, Sun Zhiwei realized how difficult the roads in the rainforest were. The ground was covered with a thick layer of humus, and his boots felt like they were walking on a carpet.

If the humus layer is not dry enough, you are likely to sink your feet into the mud, which will seriously slow down your progress.

Even a normal person would have to be very careful walking on this kind of ground, because the humus layer is the living area of ​​insects, snakes and ants, and all kinds of poisons are hidden under those layers of dead branches and rotten leaves.

Fortunately, he has a spatial dimension that constantly surrounds his surroundings, allowing him to collect all creatures in his path in advance.

This wasn't because he was being overly cautious; it was simply because he didn't recognize most of the insects and animals, and it's always better to be safe than sorry when dealing with unfamiliar creatures.

Because many animals that appear harmless can actually pose a deadly danger.

For example, the monkeys in the jungle are not large and are not strong, but these monkeys often throw fruit at people on the ground.

If you think they are playing with you and teasing you, you are wrong. In fact, they are hunting you as prey.

The fruit they throw is not the fruit they usually eat, but a poisonous fruit that can cause poisoning if it comes into contact with the skin.

Even if the fruit doesn't touch your skin, if it breaks open near you, the toxic sap inside will spread into the air and poison you.

Faced with this situation, Sun Zhiwei had no choice but to treat all the surrounding animals equally and eliminate them in advance to avoid any unexpected mishaps.

Without the influence of animals, the dangers in the jungle would be greatly reduced, allowing him to focus his main efforts on clearing a path.

While "Big Fish" had more people and could take turns clearing the way, they still faced constant harassment from venomous snakes and mosquitoes, making their progress much slower than Sun Zhiwei's.

An hour later, Sun Zhiwei arrived in front of them and was ready for battle.

After waiting for another half hour, he finally saw the "big fish" and his group approaching from afar.

When they were about 100 meters away, Sun Zhiwei began his attack. He first quickly threw ten grenades at them, and then began to fire with the heavy machine gun he had prepared.

After he fired the first shot, the grenades began to fall and explode.
