There is no need to elaborate on the hardships on the way up the mountain. After all, it is a cross-border 'smuggling road'. Can you still expect it to have a specific path? The mountain is full of rugged rocks, overgrown weeds, and stinging bushes. The only consolation is that the heat on the mountain is not too severe, otherwise those with poor health would never be able to stand it in such an environment.
I am in the middle of the team, which is not the hardest part. I can save some energy by walking on the path that others have walked. The hardest part is for the troops at the rear. They have to cover up the traces along the way to prevent the cunning Lu Fanming and his gang from discovering any clues. .
Strictly speaking, these people in charge of the rear palace are not considered 'superpowers'. Wang Wu and I were chatting along the way. Those who have special powers and can do magic that is unimaginable to mortals are all called 'superpowers'. , a person with strange abilities.
These people in the rear are descendants of the Wu family! Of course they are not superpowers, but I dare not look down upon them. After all, I have been reading martial arts books since I was a child, and I still aspire to be a martial artist. What's more, these people not only have martial arts, but also possess all the skills of modern special forces.
Wang Wu quietly told me that these people, wearing suits, are China's special bodyguards. Their treatment is several levels higher than that of people in our department. However, everyone has their own ambitions. These people are willing to stay in special departments, and they may be pursuing A different life.
We were originally scheduled to arrive at the gathering place at 4 o'clock in the morning, but human calculations always have some errors. After all, we are a group of monks and Taoists. We cannot follow the requirements of professional troops. In addition, we encountered a little trouble on the way, such as someone being attacked by a poisonous snake. The poisonous bugs bit us, and by the time we arrived, it was already 4:40 in the morning.
After arriving at the destination, I understood why I chose this place. This is a valley sandwiched in the mountains. The uphill slope on one side of the valley is gentle, but the downhill road back is indeed extremely steep. Once Lu Fanming and his group arrive here , I'm afraid it will take some effort to escape.
The place where we were waiting was on the gentle uphill slope. It could be said that we were holding the 'throat'!
After arriving at the destination, Wang Wu's expression was not very good. It was estimated that the time difference was nearly an hour, which would have a certain impact on the plan. He first found Xiaobei and said: "Xiaobei, can you not delay? From now on." Start setting up the formation, and it’s best to complete it before 9 o’clock tomorrow night.”
Xiaobei's expression was quite stressful. He looked at Wang Wu and hesitated for a long time before he said, "I'll try my best."
I thought that by entrusting such a complex formation and such an arduous task to Xiaobei, his mental burden is also very heavy now. I originally wanted to comfort Xiaobei with a few words, but in the end I didn't say anything. Maybe any words now will do the same. The pressure of becoming Xiaobei.
After explaining Xiaobei, Wang Wu paid attention to the injuries of the two people who were bitten. Fortunately, they were treated in time and should not affect tomorrow's battle.
We couldn't camp, and there were strict restrictions on even lighting fires. In short, we were careful about all traces of human activities. Thirty-seven men could only light a fire in the end, in order to guard against wild beasts and eat food. A hot bite.
There was almost no rest. Everyone took turns to rest, and everyone was preparing for Xiaobei and the others to set up the formation. Such a large formation was arranged in the valley, and just making the formation pattern without leaving any trace was a big project.
I was one of the first to go up to help. Even though I was very tired, I didn't dare to slack off at all. I always felt that the scale of this operation was a bit bigger. Could there be something hidden from us
But so what if it’s hidden? Just like things that cannot be known to ordinary people, they will never be known to ordinary people.
After more than three hours, at 8 o'clock in the morning, I was replaced and told that I had 6 hours of rest. Before I left, I glanced at Xiaobei. He was shirtless and walking in the mountains. On a not-so-hot summer morning, there were beads of sweat on my forehead, and even my hands were trembling slightly, which showed how stressful I was.
I originally didn't plan to say anything, but in the end I couldn't help walking over and patting Xiaobei on the shoulder. Xiaobei said to me very sensitively: "Chengyi, I can resist, I can do it. "
When he said this, Xiaobei's eyes were red, and even his expression was a little nervous. I was afraid that such a task would overwhelm him. I originally wanted to do everything in my power and settle down with Tianming. As long as we are here, we will definitely complete the formation for you. Who wants to destroy your formation, unless they step on our corpses, but when the words come to their lips, they become: "I believe in you."
Xiaobei smiled when he heard this, and even his frown relaxed, as if if I believed in him, he would be able to complete it.
I silently walked back to the temporary camp. It was called a camp, but in fact everyone gathered here to rest. There were a few simple blankets on the ground and they crowded together to sleep. In order to reduce the load, there was no sleeping bag.
I was exhausted to the limit and couldn't sleep for a while. I climbed up a big rock and took off my heavy military boots. Then I felt a little better. I took out a pill and swallowed it with water. I thought this was the only one. The good thing is that I can take 5 more pills in one more day. Even if my ability has not returned to its peak by then, it will be considered almost there, right? It's just that the conditions in the mountains are a bit bitter, and there is no warm water for me to open the pills. I can only endure the bitterness and dissolve it in my mouth.
At this moment, a pair of hands patted my shoulders, and a cigarette was stuffed into my mouth without warning. I looked back and saw that it was Hong Zi. He was not the vanguard. He was leading people there. Real border to avoid emergencies? How would it appear here
Jumping on the big rock and sitting down next to me, Hongzi said: "The troops have already camped there. The slogan to the outside world is temporary and urgent military training. The troops are stationed two or three miles away in a straight line from here. , after crossing that line, things become sensitive, and that is the last line of defense.”
The straight-line distance is two or three miles, which is a distance that cannot be calculated in this mountain, so the buffer space is still large. After all, if there is a leak, the department thinks that it can be solved with thermal weapons, but the thought behind the matter is a bit desolate. , at least it means that our sacrifice consumes most of the abilities of that group of people, which is big enough to be solved with thermal weapons.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Hong Zi said: "However, I am back with a 5-man troop and some internationally banned firearms and equipment as a supplement to your team."
"Why come back? This is the front line of the battle, so dangerous?" I frowned slightly. To be honest, it is safe to have one more partner. It is all good.
"Chengyi, I know you. This is my first mission. It hasn't been long. I have experienced a lot, even life and death. I can't help but watch my former life and death partners fighting here while I wait in a relatively safe place. , Chengyi, I can't do it. When the organization was worried and announced this task temporarily, I came back and brought back a secret message. Wang Wu also knew this news. I communicated with him just now, Because of the uncertainty and particularity of this news, he is planning to announce it tomorrow night." Hong Zi said lightly.
After experiencing so much, my heart was so numb that I couldn't bear to be shocked by anything. I just smoked silently without asking any questions.
Hong Zi said to himself: "This time, what we have to face is probably not a human being. No one knows what level of guy he is. Therefore, we came here with prohibited firearms. It was not necessary in the first place." , After all, in this level of fighting, thermal weapons will not play much role for ordinary people! But if it is not a human, then... In short, you can rest assured that as snipers, we are far away from the battlefield."
At the end of the sentence, Hongzi patted me on the shoulder, as if he was relieved.
I know what he meant by what he didn't finish. If he is no longer a human being, he will lose his greatest advantage - soul power. After all, the name human beings is the spirit of all things is not called for nothing. This will give thermal weapons a certain space to develop. .
My hands shook because I couldn't help but think of Yang Sheng. Will I meet him here
But it's not people, but it's not something that makes us relaxed. If people and certain beings are mixed together, the situation we face will be more difficult. Why doesn't the organization inform us of this in advance
The things in my mind are very complicated, but at this point it is no longer my concern. I am more concerned about another thing: "Hongzi, you were disemboweled last time, are your injuries healed?" "
Hong Zi smiled and pulled off his clothes. I saw strange insects crawling on his wounds!
