Early the next morning, last night, under Liu Qi's clone protection (also understood as surveillance), Johnson, who had not slept the next night, Qian (the two of them went to count the money and share the spoils), Mi Qi and others (discussing that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night) were shocked by the means of transportation prepared by Liu Qi.
"Oh my God, we won't be on these three ships, are we? These are not warships, are we?"
"I dare say that this is definitely a warship! What are the things in the positions wrapped in tart cloth? They can't be artillery, are they?"
"Look, the place behind the three ships where helicopters are parked? It seems to be that kind of twin-person light helicopter?!"
"Shh, stop talking, hurry up and go on the boat! Didn't you see that the subordinate named Yuri came over?"...
The three inland gunboats that were slightly disguised for not exposing the 30mm machine guns and heavy machine guns directly blinded Johnson and several expedition members' eyes. Even those who do not understand military and ship construction could see that something was wrong with these three gunboats. After all, the construction of civilian ships and military ships is completely different. Compared with the ordinary cargo ships or passenger ships around, the three inland gunboats are completely different from the same class.
After the group boarded the boat, three inland gunboats started to move and rumbled quickly in the river.
"Captain Johnson, I ask you to reach the growth site of the blood orchid as quickly as possible!"
Liu Qi told Johnson in the command room of the first inland gunboat that he would not be the antique that riding Johnson in the original movie, which could be called the old ship, but instead took out three brand new inland gunboats as tools.
However, Liu Qi asked about it last night and found that there were only less than ten days left before the flowering period of the blood orchid. He wanted to fly to the growth place of the blood orchid immediately - if it wasn't for the raining pot outside.
"Mr. Yuri, if you follow this boat speed, it will take about a day and a half!"
Johnson, who had taken over Liu Qi's handful of Mi Yuan, certainly did not dare to neglect Liu Qi, the big financial supporter. Especially after Liu Qi showed enough power to easily crush him, Brother Johnson said after calculating the ship's speed and range at a very fast speed.
"I only give you 24 hours, at the fastest speed, without considering the life of the ship and the engine, at the fastest speed!"
Liu Qi ordered very directly. He didn't have the time to stay longer. The faster the Blood Orchid, the better. As for whether the engines of the three gunboats would reduce their lifespan after working for a long time, how could Liu Qi take care of it!
"Okay, Mr. Yuri!"
Since even the employer didn't mind the loss of his property, Johnson wouldn't mind even more and agreed very happily.
As for whether the scientists on the two gunboats in the back would cause insomnia or seasickness due to the rapid speed of the ship, it was not something Johnson needed to consider, and they were not their employers.
Johnson thought without any moral integrity while feeling that the already fast speed had increased a lot.
.........
Compared with the Bloody Mary, Johnson, who has been in service for many years and has been in the bloody Mary in the movie, which has been in service for less than three days, the inland gunboat that has been in service for less than three days, has been outperformed in both speed and all aspects.
In addition, the loyal and loyal clone soldiers operated and were on duty, and there would be no such tricks in the original plot that deviated from the channel. Therefore, Liu Qi saw the cannibal camp in the original plot 21 hours later.
"Mr. Yuri, there is an indigenous village in front of me, less than twenty kilometers away from the place marked on the map. We can go down and ask about the traces of the blood orchid, but be careful, that indigenous village has a tradition of headhunting..."
Johnson originally reminded him with great care, but when he saw the two clones in front of the gunboat unbuttoned the tightly wrapped double-equipped 30mm machine gun, he swallowed all the remaining half of the words back.
Be careful? With this thing, the indigenous people should be careful! Sure enough, all three ships are inland gunboats!
Turning his head and paying attention to the places wrapped in tart cloth on the ship and the two ships behind him. After looking at a heavy machine gun and machine gun, Johnson decisively threw his worries out and began to feel tragic for the natives.
"Very good. Let's go down and see if there is any information we need in that village!"
Liu Qi looked at the sky before dawn and turned to look at the indigenous village, saying with some meaning.
Compared with the giant pythons that appear in the movies, the indigenous village seems to be more mysterious. The corpse of the giant python, the pattern of the blood orchid, and the reason for the mysterious migration... It seems that this village has some mysterious connection with the blood orchid.
However, Liu Qi felt the empty village in front of him, which was no longer available, and sighed silently. The natives had left. It seemed that they could only see if there was more information in the village.
.........
More than half an hour later, in the empty indigenous village, more than a dozen fully armed cloned soldiers were investigating the situation of the village, and the light of more than a dozen powerful flashlights shone the entire village.
Although it was almost dawn, there was at least half an hour left, so I had to investigate like this.
The mysteriously dead giant python in the movie was found at the beginning, including the corpse of the native man in its belly, and even compared to the situation in the original plot that had begun to smell and rot, these two corpses are now quite fresh.
"This giant python was actually hunted?!! Add the pattern of blood orchids in the village... Is it better to get blood orchids not only those giant pythons, but also the natives in this village? Yes, it must be true..."
Liu Qi ignored the indigenous corpse that was obviously an ordinary person. Instead, he looked at the giant python's body size and length that was enough to participate in the world record. After careful investigation, he found that the giant python was actually killed directly?!
Although indigenous people can live and hunt in the rainforest, they still stay away from beasts, especially the giant python with good size and wisdom. It is a joke to say that these ordinary indigenous people can easily hunt this kind of monster. Even if the giant python is not in the water but on the shore, a giant python is enough to settle these indigenous people.
Judging from the power displayed by the python that attacked the squad in the movie, this python killed by the natives should be more powerful. Even if it eats an indigenous person, it will not be easily killed because of its inconvenience, right? Not to mention that if the python is in danger, it will spit out prey and hunt again. Let’s look at the indigenous people in the python’s belly... How could such a giant creature that can break a strong man’s bone with a casual sweep can be killed by someone with one blow? It can’t even spit out food to fight when feeling the danger? If the bone knife is still used, all the natives with stone spears are so awesome, why are they afraid of giant pythons and beasts in the jungle? They have long become overlords in the rainforest! Why leave here?
After this calculation, Liu Qi confirmed one thing, that is, there must be people among the natives who benefited from the blood orchids, but the number is definitely not too large. At most, there are a few that are very amazing.
"It's a pity... I actually ran away. It seems that I have to catch these natives after getting the blood orchid..."
Liu Qi, who put the corpse of the giant python into the storage space and was ready to be sent to the institute for research, looked at the empty indigenous village of about two or three hundred people, and said regretfully.
Compared with giant pythons, the physical changes of indigenous people who are also primates after swallowing blood orchids are obviously more research-worthy. After all, humans and giant pythons are completely two species, and those suitable for giant pythons may not be suitable for humans.
"Sir, we found some murals in a house that may be related to blood orchids!"
When Liu Qi stood up and looked at the sky that had already shined with light, considering whether to start going to the snake cave immediately, a cloned soldier ran over to salute Liu Qi and reported to him and others' discoveries.
"Oh? Then I'll go and have a look..."
Liu Qi is of course very interested in the clues of blood orchids. Unfortunately, the exploration team led by No. 1 has not found any useful clues so far. What is immortal and what is blooming every seven years is outdated. However, there are also related legends between the pythons and the natives, such as giant pythons hidden in rivers and the natives who can hunt beasts with bare hands and empty fists, etc., most people will definitely sneer at it, but in Liu Qi's opinion, it may not be true.
"Hmm??...Is it delivered to your door automatically?"
But suddenly, Liu Qi stopped his body, which was about to leave, looked in one direction, and showed an inexplicable smile.
.........
On the other side, in the rainforest about a thousand meters away from the indigenous village, a huge python was moving in the grass.
If someone can clearly see and photograph this giant thing that is at least 20 meters long and has a water tank, it can definitely be sold to newspapers or TV stations for a large amount of reward.
Well, of course, the premise is that they still have the leisure to go back.
This giant python travels between the grass and the branches with a slight sound of "swish" and its huge body shape is matched with natural camouflage with markings. This giant python can also be called synonymous with lurking killers in the jungle.
Although it is not in the water that is most suitable for its performance, even in the jungle, this giant python is considered to be at the top of the food chain.
Unfortunately, when the giant python was moving towards the indigenous village, it suddenly stopped a few hundred meters away from the indigenous village, and then the entire giant python suddenly disappeared.
"Well, one dead, one alive, maybe there are more..."
After the giant python disappeared, Liu Qi's figure appeared in the position where the giant python had just disappeared!
Liu Qi, who took away the giant python, looked at the direction where the giant python came, and then disappeared into the air.
