Chapter 435: Rainforest
Deep in the rainforest of the Congo Basin, towering trees are the best cover. Under these giant trees, various supports, tarpaulins and tree trunks are used to piece together an area that looks like a green greenhouse.
Combined with the dense foliage above, nothing can be seen from the air.
If you look closely, you can see that there are infrared cameras and even some artillery batteries similar to the dense array placed everywhere on the treetops around here .
There are more than a dozen two-person air defense teams nearby!
A Sackler helicopter quickly arrived here and lowered a rope. Figures quickly slid down the rope and finally landed on the protective net above the "greenhouse base" below.
The elasticity of the protective net allowed them to fall quickly without getting hurt.
Then go down to the ground along the simple ladder on the tree trunk at the edge of the protective net.
"Hahaha~, good news just came. The helicopter was shot down by our anti-aircraft missiles."
As soon as the group reached the ground, a blond white man in camouflage clothes happily brought good news.
When they learned that Umbrella wanted to find this place, they were under a lot of pressure.
This time, we heard that the team that intercepted us was defeated, and the other side only sent out three people! One of them was the tour guide.
This combat power is really exaggerated!
They felt heavy-hearted just by hearing the news.
I could feel a .
Umbrella's instructors are strong, but not to this extent.
There must be a follow-up support team!
This is the bait put out for fishing. Once the fish is hooked, it will deliver a thunderous blow.
Umbrella, which owns stealth helicopters, does have the capital to carry out this kind of ambush.
But no matter whether there are follow-up teams or not, at least the most difficult helicopter was shot down.
"Don't be careless, there may be more than just these people."
Antoine also said seriously.
"So what? As long as the guide dies, can they still find us in this vast rain forest?"
The blond man didn't care, he always thought there were more than just three people.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as the tour guide dies!
They have been stationed here for a long time and they know exactly what the environment inside the tropical rainforest is like.
Wild beasts and the like are actually not a problem; the main problems here are poisonous insects and malaria.
After Umbrella started selling culture medium, it discovered through research on the culture medium that the importance of this previously useless area had increased. In order to build this base, a lot of people were reduced.
It is very likely that an inconspicuous spider can take your life.
Even now that the greenhouse has been built, there is layer upon layer of shelter.
Various personal protection, various drug sprays, anti-malarial drugs and many protective serums.
But there are still people who often fall into various traps.
As for blood-sucking insects like leeches, they are even more common.
The leeches here can cause anemia in people.
Therefore, as long as there is no one to lead the way, it is almost impossible to find this place by searching purely by luck.
If it were that simple, Umbrella would have done it themselves long ago!
"This time, the documentary director and his team came to the area by accident and encountered the giant snake. Their team was relatively close that time, but we didn't notice them until we saw their film entry for the film festival. You can imagine how difficult it is to find your way in the rainforest."
Golden Retriever said this in a nonchalant manner.
In fact, even if we let the director lead the way again, he would most likely find it difficult to find the area nearby, and even if he got there, he might not be able to find this place!
It’s just that the probability is much greater, so we must prevent it before it happens.
Umbrella's combat effectiveness was fully demonstrated this time. Playing jungle special operations with them is obviously an unwise choice.
"What if someone among us leads the way, or someone is located?"
Antoine said worriedly.
"Hahaha, don't worry. We only have a radio receiver on top that receives information through a special channel. We don't even usually make satellite calls. Even if the Red Queen is very powerful, it's meaningless. We can't locate her."
The golden retriever explained with a smile again.
"As for someone betraying us? It's impossible. Not to mention that everyone is loyal and tested like you. Even if someone really betrayed us, they can't send out a signal here. This place is already foolproof."
When Jinmao said this, his face was full of pride.
This place was built from scratch by me. It was really not easy.
"Rather than worrying about Umbrella finding this place, we should worry more about those big snakes. Those beasts come back to wander around from time to time, and several of our brothers have already been eaten by them."
Then, Golden Retriever spoke in a serious tone.
"Big snake?"
Antoine asked, fully demonstrating the attitude of a newcomer.
"Well, before, we simply thought that the mutation was caused by the sunflowers here, but after Umbrella revealed the 'magic', it was generally related to magic, which caused the mutation of that species. Now the experts who are researching here also said that there is indeed a problem with the magnetic field nearby. Many things cannot be explained. Moreover, the measured temperature in the deep pit has not dropped much, but as long as you go down, you will feel a chill. It must be related to magic."
The golden retriever helped Antoine and his newly arrived team with some scientific knowledge.
"The reason we were able to find this place was because of those big snakes. We accidentally discovered that they shot one and went back to study it. We found that the snake had lived for at least two hundred years, so we began to learn more about it. Although most of them have been killed, there are still a few that have escaped. Moreover, they are very smart. Through our previous attacks, they have understood the threat of guns, rocket launchers and grenades to them. Now they are becoming more and more cunning..."
Now that Antoine has come here, it is natural for him to be more aware of the importance of this place.
"Researchers here believe that this may be a natural magic depression somewhere, but there is no silver nearby, so it is very likely that some other factors have caused the magic changes here. If we can find the pattern, we can break Umbrella's 'magic hegemony'. So after coming here, don't think about leaving in the short term."
"Of course, it's my pleasure!"
Antoine said proudly, puffing out his chest.
"We suspect that the snakes have changed because they have stayed here for a long time, but it seems that this environment is only effective for cold-blooded animals. Human experiments have failed. People who stay in that cold area for a long time will become depressed, irritable, crazy and then die. But don't worry, that area is not big, and it won't have much impact on us."
Then the golden retriever said to him mysteriously:
"Moreover, if a human corpse is left there for a long time, it will 'revive' and become a powerful, ugly creature that only knows how to suck blood and has no reason. It may be somewhat similar to the vampires in the legends, but it has completely lost its reason. It is meaningless for now. Perhaps when the researchers crack the key elements here, they can really achieve resurrection from the dead. Unfortunately, Umbrella's magic power is too tightly covered, otherwise the progress will definitely be faster...
"Now, we can also suspect that Umbrella may have found a similar place to make a fortune. They are just luckier. They have a great mathematician to help them summarize the rules. That place may be formed by silver. They discovered the rules, but our potential is definitely not inferior to theirs!"
The golden retriever seemed to be talking a lot, and Antoine was touching his necklace and nodding. Soders...
