The cave where the two women hid was located halfway up the snowy mountain to the west of the logging site. If the climate was warm and the snow melted, streams would converge and flow into the icy lake under the mountain.
Perhaps hundreds of thousands of years ago, this was a paradise of life with abundant grass and pleasant climate. But now, there is only severe cold and endless snow. Only the most tenacious and persevering creatures are qualified to survive here.
It was not easy to conceal one's tracks when walking on a snowy hillside, and with more than a dozen hounds tracking them, even though the two were careful enough, they still couldn't get rid of the pursuers. The reason why the other party didn't rush up was that they were intimidated by the sniper rifle aimed at the cave entrance.
Through the wind and snow outside the cave, the sound of dogs barking could be faintly heard.
Luke didn't have many men here, and he didn't want to waste them all on Anna. Anyway, as long as the way down the mountain was blocked, the two would be trapped here to death.
“Bang!”
In the cave, Anna did not follow Wang An's suggestion to take a nap. Instead, she propped herself up, pulled out a bayonet from the side of her leg and threw it on the hard rock ground.
"Hoo~Xiao An, help me!"
After taking a breath, Anna struggled to unbutton her jacket and then unbuckled her belt.
"Help me get the bullet out of my leg... The wound will get infected if it's not treated quickly."
"I… "
Wang An looked at the bayonet shining in the firelight, gritted his teeth, nodded and stood up.
"good!"
On the southern foot of the Verkhoyansk Mountains, a helicopter flew straight north along the Lena River under the cover of night.
Looking down from a high place, the city lights are clearly concentrated on both sides of the Lena River, allowing people to clearly distinguish the river even in the dark. And in the distance, there is endless darkness, and it is unknown where the next city is.
At this moment, the only sound in the cabin besides the roar of the rotor was a shaking sound coming from somewhere.
Gu Lang and Han Da Xia sat side by side in the back row, facing Yuan Xiaoxiao. At this time, the cabin was dark, and only the instrument indicators in the front row could be seen.
No one spoke. Perhaps it was because the noise was too loud and there was no room for small talk. But Wang Ping thought that the most likely reason was the condition of the helicopter.
Glancing at the shaking hatch and the glass that was leaking air from nowhere, Wang Ping, the only one with night vision, could see everyone's clenched arms and nervous expressions. If someone suddenly yelled at this moment, I believe even someone as calm as Old Han and as indifferent as Yuan Xiaoxiao would be scared and scream.
Of course, Wang Ping himself was not in a much better condition. His little paws almost tore the seat belt apart, and his little white teeth under his furry mouth were biting it tightly.
Suddenly, a series of crackling noises came from the front, quickly spreading to the outside of the entire cabin. The pilot yelled and cursed for a while, and with a feeling of weightlessness, the helicopter suddenly dived down.
“Ah~”
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Is there something wrong?"
The few people didn't care whether the pilot could hear them or not, and asked questions at once. The bearded man ignored them, and waited until the noise faded before leveling off, cursing and moving forward.
After listening for a while, Yuan Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and reminded the two.
"It's okay, we just encountered a hailstorm and have already gone around it!"
“Huh~”
At this moment, the exhalation sound Wang Ping heard even drowned out the sound of the rotor. As everyone relaxed, they felt dizzy as if they were lacking oxygen. Wang Ping even saw Yuan Xiaoxiao puffing up her face and dry-heaving twice, and he didn't know whether she was carsick or airsick.
As the lights of the last city outside the cabin disappeared, only darkness remained ahead, and it seemed as if suddenly only this small cabin was left between heaven and earth.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Ping moved his ears slightly, and heard a strange snoring sound amid the roar of the rotor.
"Hehe~~ Hur'er~!"
Wang Ping pulled his hairy face and looked up at Gu Laosan, secretly despising him. This bastard is really bold, he can actually sleep in a helicopter under such conditions. However, he was stunned when he saw it.
At this moment, Gu Laosan's eyes were as big as copper bells. One hand was holding the grab bar on the cabin wall above his head, and the other hand was holding the seat belt around his waist. He looked out the window from time to time. How could he feel sleepy at all
The night vision eye turned to the right, and the action of Old Han was exactly the same as that of Gu Lao San after folding in half. It was unknown who learned from whom. On the other side, Yuan Xiaoxiao put her hands under her hips, and blocked the "thunder bag" shaking under the seat with her feet, squinting her eyes as if in a trance.
So, who the hell is sleeping
Wang Ping felt a wave of horror, like cold water poured on his head in winter, and his four paws suddenly became cold. He struggled to climb out of the pocket of his down jacket, stretched his neck and looked forward.
In front of the cabin, a pilot was leaning back in his seat with his head tilted back. When he was snoring loudly, he would raise his hand from time to time to scratch his face and pick his nostrils.
“Ah! (╬◣?◢)”
The roar that burst out from the soul resounded throughout the cabin, instantly covering the roar of the engine and the noise of the rotor, making everyone startled. Gu Laosan and Old Hantou screamed at the same time, and Yuan Xiaoxiao's arms shook and she almost jumped up.
To be honest, Wang Ping had never wanted to hit someone as much as he did now. The last time he was so angry was in Australia, when Gu Laosan kissed his sister in front of him.
The pilot in the front row was awakened by the roar, and he yawned sleepily. Just as he was about to stretch, his arm was patted. When he turned his head, the three people and a badger behind him were glaring at him.
Although he was angry, Wang Ping didn't dare to do anything to him at the moment. So he became even angrier.
"What's up?"
Seeing everyone having the same expression, the bearded man turned around and asked with a puzzled look, which made everyone angry again.
You are flying a plane, brother, why are you talking in such a casual street chat tone
"Ah! Ahhhhh!"
Wang Ping squatted on the seat between Lao Han and Gu Lang, raised his paw and pointed at the windshield in front of him, jumped and roared, his head was about to fall off. If anyone present said that he could fly a helicopter, he would grab the bearded man and beat him.
Yuan Xiaoxiao simply unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned over and yelled at the bearded man's face. The latter waved his hands with a relaxed look, signaling everyone to stay calm.
At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" overhead, and the helicopter suddenly tilted to the side, diving diagonally downward as everyone screamed.
“Ah~~”
Yuan Xiaoxiao let out a scream and fell uncontrollably to the left. She stepped on Gu Xianyu's face and silenced his scream.
Old Han wanted to help her, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that the "thunder bag" under her seat was no longer covered, so he quickly reached out to grab it. He then screamed, but Yuan Xiaoxiao raised her hand and grabbed his hair.
"Hey bar! Hey bar!"
The bearded pilot shouted loudly, holding the joystick tightly with both hands, as if trying to convince everyone that this was just a routine event.
But before the plane could stabilize, there was a sound of cloth tearing, and a cloth bag full of grenades suddenly fell, accompanied by Lao Han's urgent shout.
Gu Laosan only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and the cabin glass on his side was smashed with a "bang", and the cold wind rushed in instantly with the glass fragments.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but in Gu Laosan’s mind, which was instantly dazed by the cold wind, the screams of a badger seemed to be echoing.
At the same time, outside the cabin, which was invisible to everyone, a red object was falling down rapidly along with a cloth bag.
"Ah~~~Σ(?▃?)"
Wang Ping's furry face was flattened by the cold wind, snot and tears were flying, his four little paws were sliding quickly, and his crazy screams resounded through the night sky.
“Help!!”
