Chapter 398 Self-Knowledge

Before entering the rainforest, Gao Yang and the others gathered some knowledge about the rainforest and took adequate protective measures. However, things like leech were difficult to guard against, and they were eventually attacked.

After hurriedly scalding the leech off his body, Gao Yang was surprised to find that Lucica and the others did not make any move. They were obviously not disturbed by the leech. Moreover, although they also carried headlamps or flashlights, they were hovering around There are far fewer mosquitoes around them.

Gao Yang and the others brought a lot of mosquito repellent, and there were several types. According to the instructions, it should be effective in preventing mosquitoes, locusts and the like, but it turns out that the effect is there, but the effect is not very good. , especially after a lot of sweat soaked the clothes, the mosquito repellent sprayed quickly lost its effect.

The five guides didn't use any mosquito repellent, but they didn't have to worry about mosquitoes at all.

"Hey Lucica, can you tell me what you use to make you less afraid of mosquitoes?"

After hearing Gao Yang's question, Lucica didn't say anything. She lowered her head and walked back and forth for a few steps. Then she reached out and uprooted a leaf from a large-leaf plant that was half a person tall. Knead the leaves into a ball on your hands, squeeze out the juice, and apply the leaves back and forth on your hands and face a few times.

The kind of leaves Lucica used cannot be said to be everywhere, but they are definitely very common. Gao Yang walked over, picked off a leaf, and wiped it on his hands like Lucica did.

The juice squeezed out of the leaves has a not very strong smell, a bit like garlic, but the smell is not particularly strong. And it’s not very aggressive either.

After applying the juice to your hands. The skin on my hands turned brown after a short time. Apart from that, he didn't have any other feelings. Gao Yang raised his hand to Lucika and said, "Is this all right?"

Lucica nodded, and then said coldly: "Apply more."

Gao Yang immediately said loudly: "Brothers, look at this. Apply this on your body. It is much more effective than mosquito repellent."

Gather your people together and tell them what kind of plants have the effect of repelling mosquitoes. Gao Yang took the opportunity to whisper: "This rainforest is too unfamiliar to us. If the current situation continues, there will be big trouble. But our guides don't seem to care about everything. I don't trust them. So now we're in trouble."

Gao Yang was very distrustful of their guides. They obviously had some means of driving away mosquitoes, but they said nothing and just watched indifferently as Gao Yang and others were tortured. It seems that everything has nothing to do with them. Such guides cannot be said to be competent.

The rest of the journey is inseparable from these guides.

But these guides were very incompetent, so Gao Yang felt that they were already in big trouble.

Li Jinfang sighed and said, "Ivan is right, everything here is full of hostility, including people."

Grolev smiled bitterly and said: "If the guides don't cooperate, there's nothing anyone can do. We can't point our guns at those guides and let them talk more."

At this time, Tommy suddenly said: "They are all guerrillas. In life, apart from their comrades, they are also enemies. They are wary of all outsiders. It is difficult to become friends with them, but these people are all qualified fighters. Give them command, I mean everything on the road, and they will arrange everything properly."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "Are you sure?"

Tommy nodded confidently and said, "I understand the way these people think. Trust me, they won't do anything on their own initiative, but as long as you put the responsibility on them, they will do what they need to do."

After Gao Yang thought for a moment, he finally nodded and said: "Okay, there is no better way. I told them that they have the final say on the road in the future."

After making up his mind, Gao Yang returned to Lucika and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you for teaching us the method. It is very effective. You are the masters here, so everything is up to you, so we It has been decided that from now on the command on the road will be handed over to you. You can leave when you want and stop when you want. In short, everything depends on you."

After Gao Yang finished speaking with a smile, Lucica looked at him in surprise. After looking up and down in surprise, Lucica suddenly turned away and left Gao Yang in a daze.

It wasn't that Lucica didn't want to talk to Gao Yang. She walked to Camp and repeated Gao Yang's words. Camp looked at Gao Yang in surprise, but after thinking for a moment, he took Lucica and left again. Returned to Gao Yang.

Kemp spoke with a serious face, Lucica was translating at the side, and Gao Yang and Kemp had a brief but fruitful meeting.

"Are you sure it's up to me to make the next decision?"

"Yes."

"What are those aspects?"

"Everything but combat."

After speaking briefly, Kemp's expression changed. He glanced at Gao Yang, nodded, and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements for the rest of the journey. I hope you can follow the arrangements."

Gao Yang shrugged and said, "You are the masters of this place. You are familiar with this place. We have no reason to reject the experts' arrangements and bring trouble on ourselves."

Kemp suddenly smiled and said in a deep voice: "You are different from other outsiders. You are self-aware."

Gao Yang didn't know whether Kemp's words were a compliment or a sarcasm, but he decided to take Kemp's words as a compliment. If you're not familiar with it, you're not familiar with it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Being self-aware is an advantage. The consequences are simply asking for trouble.

"I have always believed that self-awareness is a virtue. From what you say, it seems that you have had contact with other outsiders?"

Kemp pointed to the things behind Gao Yang and said: "You have a lot of things, but most of them are useless in the rain forest. However, people like you who carry a lot of things on their backs are usually very proud, but they don't understand that in the rain forest, In the rainforest, proud people die quickly.”

Don't bring false confidence just because you have sophisticated equipment. This is a noble principle. Excellent equipment does not mean rich experience, and in the rainforest, experience is definitely more useful than equipment.

Gao Yang smiled slightly and said: "So we listen to you in everything except fighting."

Kemp extended his hand to Gao Yang and said in a deep voice: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

After Gao Yang held Kemp's hand, he smiled and said: "It's a pleasure to cooperate. In addition, we will learn a lot from you. I would like to express my gratitude to you in advance, thank you." (To be continued...)
