Colonel Tuode was already overwhelmed.
Although the Osborn Company provided some potentially troublesome biological data, he had already lost half his troops.
Now, attacked by these strange leeches, if he didn't get rid of them, he would be almost completely wiped out!
Gwen then noticed two giant leeches on Jessica's back!
"Lin Fan?" Although Gwen was Spider-Woman, possessing superhuman agility, tens of tons of grip strength, and some police combat skills, she was powerless in Jessica's current situation.
Lin Fan lifted the clothes on Jessica's back, revealing her snow-white back muscles, where the giant leeches were greedily absorbing blood.
Coming to a nearby bush, Lin Fan saw a spider web between the tree branches, where a palm-sized highly venomous Black Widow was resting.
He grabbed the Black Widow, crushed it with a crunch, and extracted its fangs.
This highly venomous Black Widow, mutated by the blood orchid, had not significantly increased in size, but its venom was enough to kill a hundred people.
He pricked the giant leech with a fang the size of a fingernail, and the creature immediately withered, the Black Widow's venom quickly killing the giant leech.
Once dead, the giant leech could be easily removed!
Dead Giant Leech: Due to absorbing a large amount of biological blood before Death, it is rich in nutrients and can quickly replenish lost physical strength. It produces additional effects based on the characteristics of the injected venom.
Lin Fan removed the giant leeches from Jessica's back, crushed them, and then applied them to the wounds on Jessica's back.
Then, the fragments of the giant leeches, like a divine medicine, quickly healed the wounds on Jessica's back, and judging by Jessica's complexion, her physical strength had also recovered somewhat.
Jessica suddenly hugged Lin Fan's neck and said, "Thank you, Lin Fan. You saved me again."
"Lin Fan, can you get rid of these damned things? Hurry, hurry, help these soldiers." Colonel Tuode saw that Jessica, who had been very weak just a moment ago, was now fine? Knowing there must be a reason, he came over and heard that Lin Fan had a solution.
Lin Fan handed the fangs in his hand to Colonel Tuode. "I need something highly venomous to get these things off. Tell people to search separately."
"Okay, okay, wait a moment." Colonel Tuode immediately mobilized the soldiers who still had combat power to search for venomous creatures in the surrounding bushes, tree branches, and dead wood.
But this was not an easy task; if they were accidentally bitten by those highly venomous insects, there would be no way to save them, and they would immediately die.
For this, Tuode lost more than a dozen more soldiers.
But now there was no choice; the boat was broken. Asking for help with a satellite phone? The Osborn Company would not agree to them returning without the blood orchid. It was also the rainy season, and they had bought almost all the boats. So there was no retreat.
Lin Fan used the highly venomous substances to remove the giant leeches and simultaneously recorded the additional effects produced by the giant leeches after absorbing the venom.
The additional effect of the highly venomous Black Widow was to whiten and eliminate scars.
The additional effect of the Red Centipede was to increase physical strength and even slightly harden the skin.
The additional effect of the Jungle Giant Scorpion was to increase nerve reaction speed.
Currently, only 228 soldiers remained alive, and three accompanying personnel from the Osborn Company were left: the person in charge, Mark, and interns Gwen and Jessica.
Ding! The mission to help the Marine Corps clear the giant leeches is complete.
Reward: Worker Bee variant branch Decomposer.
Decomposer: Worker Bee variant branch. Possesses extremely high decomposition efficiency for corpses. Each Worker Bee can hatch 1000 Decomposers. Saturation is reached when 10 million are produced through corpse decomposition. Possesses second-order physical ability and first-order mental ability. Hatching requires 1 Worker Bee, 100 biomass, and 5 seconds. Cannot advance.
Several Overlords had already arrived here carrying enough Splitters and Worker Bees.
The Amazon Rainforest has abundant resources.
Enough to provide the Zerg forces with the necessary early logistics for their development.
Moreover, being far from human habitation, it is not easily discovered by humans, which can greatly reduce trouble.
After half a day of rest, the team set off again, with Jin Song leading the way as a guide.
The Marine Corps had already experienced the dangers here. Everyone gripped their assault rifles tightly. If it weren't for the cross-border relations, they could have carried more powerful thermal weapons, such as flamethrowers.
Various venomous creatures inhabit the jungle.
Outside, a palm-sized Titan beetle could be as big as a head here and was aggressive, with horns on its head that could penetrate human leg bones.
Ordinary creatures are rare here.
Due to the survival of the fittest, ordinary creatures cannot survive here; even herbivores have evolved extremely high lethality.
For example, deer with coral-like antlers. They not only have extremely strong jumping ability, which ordinary human eyes cannot follow, but also are very aggressive.
In this ecological environment, the number of Marine Corps members continued to decline. Although bullets were plentiful due to fallen comrades, the distance to the destination was still unknown. If this continued, the outcome would be dire.
Mark, the person in charge of the Osborn mission this time, was delighted because there were countless samples to collect, each of which could provide a new direction for research for the Osborn Company.
"Colonel Tuode, please don't look so grim. Although we haven't found the blood orchid yet, with these special biological samples, the Osborn Company can provide double compensation for your fallen soldiers. I guarantee it."
Tuode sighed. Humans were still too weak compared to nature, but now that the deed was done, what could he do? He only hoped that the families of the fallen soldiers could understand.
However, at this moment, in the distance,
A large flock of birds was startled from the bushes, and large trees as thick as water tanks fell one after another, as if some colossal creature was approaching.
