The temperature on the top of the mountain dropped sharply, and there was even frost in some places. The smell of Tang Zixian and the members of the archaeological team became much lighter here, but the direction was certain. She and the members of the archaeological team headed towards the abyss at the foot of the mountain.
Ning Tao looked at the direction of the abyss, frowned, and thought to himself, "I have been in the mountain city for a few days. Those guys must have followed the direction of the water to find the abyss, right? If they knew there was something terrible down there, I wonder if they will still be so active?”
Coming down from the mountain peak and entering the forest on the mountainside, the smell of Tang Zixian and the members of the archaeological team became obvious again. The traces of their passage were clearly visible on the ground, including footprints and signs of someone falling.
There were smells and traces, so Ning Tao sped up. In the forest, there is a ladder under his feet. His figure is like those heroes in martial arts movies who are good at light kung fu, running on the grass and flying over rocks.
After a while, Ning Tao came to the end of the abyss. The smell of Tang Zixian and the members of the archaeological team extended downwards from where he stood, and what he was most worried about appeared. If they explore further along the abyss and go smoothly, they will find the tribe of Shennongjia savages, and then they will discover the Yinyue City under the abyss. And that, that was definitely not an archaeological discovery that shocked the world, but the beginning of a nightmare.
After descending into the abyss, Ning Tao continued to follow.
The smell and traces of Tang Zixian and the members of the archaeological team are more obvious below the abyss, and extend towards the direction of the Shennongjia savage tribe.
When passing by a quagmire, Ning Tao stopped. Under the flashlight beam, there were traces of chaos next to the quagmire. With a thought in his mind, he immediately awakened the viewing and smelling states of his eyes and nose. He did not see the innate aura of the living body, but captured the rotting smell of the corpse emerging from the mire.
Someone fell into the mire and died in it.
The person who died in the quagmire was the older woman Dong Qing, the ore expert of the archaeological team. It was easy for Ning Tao to judge this, because her scent ended here and did not extend forward. Whoever's scent is missing will sleep forever in this quagmire.
This was an accident, but it was not surprising that the person who died was Dong Qing, because her physical fitness was probably the weakest among the entire archaeological team, and her eyesight was also bad.
Ning Tao continued to follow.
If he had been here at that time, Dong Qing would never have died and he would have been able to save her. However, everyone in the archaeological team except Ma Tongtong opposed him joining the archaeological team. This does not mean that other members of the archaeological team except Ma Tongtong should die, but this result is regrettable.
There was thick fog under the abyss, and no one could be seen. There were only scents and footprints remaining in the air and on the ground. The archaeological team moved forward. Ning Tao followed him all the way. His speed was comparable to that of a hunting cheetah, even if it was a quagmire, he would fly directly over it.
But as he continued to follow, Ning Tao's mood became heavier and heavier, not for any other reason than because further ahead was the tribe of Shennongjia barbarians.
The smell of blood suddenly wafted from the front, and Ning Tao quickened his pace.
What exuded the smell of blood was the "checkpoint" of the Shennongjia barbarians. The pile of stones and the blood spilled all over the ground. There was the smell of gunpowder smoke in the mist, and bullet casings were scattered on the ground.
"Gun?" Ning Tao was surprised, because in his impression, the archaeological team did not have guns, and Tang Zixian and Tu Wenjin, who joined later, did not bring guns, so how could there be bullet casings here
He casually picked up a cartridge case. The cartridge case was about four to five centimeters in length. If a bullet was added, it would be about five and a few centimeters in length. Bullets of this length are commonly used in assault rifles.
After refining the shell gun, he checked some firearm-related information on the Internet and judged what kind of firearm it was based on the characteristics of the shell. It was not 100% accurate, but it was generally reliable.
"Rifle?" Ning Tao's brows suddenly frowned, and he secretly said in his heart: "Our country's gun control is extremely strict, and it is difficult to get a pistol, let alone a rifle. Tu Wenjin is a listed company with a net worth of tens of billions Boss, he came here to explore solely because of Tang Zixian, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to illegally possess a rifle, right? If he was found out, he would be jailed for several years. But if Tang Zixian and Tu Wenjin didn't have rifles, Who could it be?"
He stretched out his hand and dipped a little blood. The blood did not solidify, and it was not human blood, but the blood of Shennongjia savages.
Bang bang bang…
Suddenly there was a dull sound of gunfire in the thick fog ahead.
Ning Tao ran towards the direction of the gunfire. As he ran, he put the flashlight back into the small medicine box, then took out the unbreakable fan and shell gun, holding the fan in his left hand and the gun in his right hand. The man with the gun was unknown and might shoot at him, so he had to be prepared for a fight.
The smell of blood in the thick fog became stronger and stronger, and corpses appeared on the ground. There were Shennongjia savages who had been shot and fell to the ground, members of the archaeological team whose heads were smashed alive by stones, and heavily armed men wearing bulletproof vests. !
After passing through a thick fog, the field of vision suddenly widened, and the Shennongjia savage tribe came into Ning Tao's field of vision. At that moment, amidst the deafening gunshots, a Shennongjia savage fell into a pool of blood.
The Shennongjia savage is extremely powerful, but after all, it is a body of flesh and blood. It will be fine if it is hit by one or two bullets. However, several assault rifles fired at it. In an instant, dozens or hundreds of bullets hit its body, and there were probably some bullets among them. With special warheads, even an iron man would be beaten to pieces, let alone his flesh and blood body.
In the tribe, the corpses of Shennongjia savages, as well as the corpses of armed personnel and members of the archaeological team, were lying everywhere.
Ning Tao also saw Tang Zixian and Tu Wenjin, as well as the three surviving members of the archaeological team, Ji Wengui, Ma Tongtong and Yang Chen. Five people were controlled by armed men beside a hot spring pool. There was a corpse of a Shennongjia savage floating in the hot spring pool. Its blood dyed the hot spring pool red. The bright blood color was shocking.
This group of armed men all wore black turbans, but judging from their body shape and skin color, most of them were white and black, and there were also Asians, but there were only two. One carries a personal radio and satellite phone, and the other carries a sniper rifle.
Ning Tao suddenly remembered a person, Nicholas Conde, the owner of the mysterious Black Fire Company. No country in the world dares to send soldiers to fight on Chinese soil, but Blackfire Company, an underground mercenary company, does not have too many scruples. In fact, if these armed men are indeed mercenaries of Black Fire Company, this is already the third military operation of Black Fire Company.
The first time they attacked the botanical garden of Blueprint Biotechnology Company, the entire team was wiped out. The second time was to instigate Liang Keming and use technological weapons. That time he succeeded, Liang Keming kidnapped Lin Qinghua.
This time, for the third time, they had taken control of the situation and their battle was coming to an end. A dozen armed men were attacking the cave where the Shennongjia people also lived. It was dark inside, but they were all equipped with night vision devices with thermal imaging, so the darkness had little effect on them. However, they just blocked the entrance and shot into the cave, not daring to go in.
Anger ignited in Ning Tao's heart, and his evil side quietly awakened. He is doing his best to protect the Shennongjia savages and does not want them to lose their last survival territory. He never brought his small team here to rob the spiritual materials here, but these armed men killed people here unscrupulously, not only killing the savages in Shennongjia, but also the people of the archaeological team!
Ning Tao raised the muzzle of the shell gun and pointed it at the dozen armed men blocking the entrance of the cave. His right index finger grasped the trigger and pressed back.
Suddenly, a tall white man shouted in English: "Stop shooting!"
The dozen or so armed men who were blocking the entrance of the cave and shooting wildly stopped shooting.
Ning Tao also released his finger on the trigger. He was so angry just now that he wanted to kill all the armed personnel here. But that is obviously not a rational decision. One shot from his side will certainly kill several armed men, but after that he will face more than a dozen assault rifles, and even grenade launchers, sniper rifles, grenades and so on. of. Even if he has learned to have a ladder under his feet and an unbreakable fan in his hand, he can't be faster than bullets, and his unbreakable fan can't stop the bullets raining down at him. Moreover, he has to face a terrible situation: Ma Tongtong, Ji Wengui and Yang Chen are still under the control of the other party. Once he shoots and kills someone, the other party is likely to shoot and kill the hostages.
"The boss said, catch two alive, don't kill them all." The burly white man continued: "First use tear gas and bombs to force them out, and then use anesthesia bombs to shoot them. Catch two alive, and kill the rest." Kill."
Bang bang bang!
Immediately, several armed men fired tear gas grenades into the cave with grenade launchers, and in a blink of an eye, pungent smoke emerged from the cave. The armed men blocking the entrance of the cave also retreated, preparing to shoot the Shennongjia savages who escaped from inside, but they had already grabbed the opening.
Ning Tao's eyes fell on the body of an armed man with a smashed head next to him, and an idea came to his mind. He grabbed the armed man's body and dragged him into the thick fog, then took off his combat uniform and bulletproof vest and put them on himself. The opponent's equipment bag was also used. He put the small medicine box in it. In the process, he took out the Eclipse Blade and placed it in the canvas scabbard containing the saber on the outside of his thigh. among. Finally, he put on a black scarf soaked in blood, took an assault rifle, and then sneaked towards Ma Tongtong and several other hostages.
But before Ning Tao could get close to the corner where Ma Tongtong and other hostages were, an armed man spotted Ning Tao and said to Ning Tao in English: "Go to the woods and see what's going on with those guys. They haven't come back yet." ”
Are there not all the armed personnel here
Ning Tao's heart suddenly became heavy. He nodded and walked towards the woods. The light here is dim, and his face is covered in blood. It would be difficult for someone who is not particularly familiar with the deceased to find his flaws. While walking, he looked at the entrance of the cave with the corner of his eye. Fortunately, no Shennongjia savages ran out of the cave. Maybe the cave is very big and there are other passages. It may also be because the Shennongjia savages are not afraid of tear gas bombs, and the tear gas bombs fired by those armed men have no effect at all.
Then, the corner of Ning Tao's eyes moved to Tang Zixian.
Tang Zixian was very calm.
