Volume 1: The Journey of the Emerald Rough Chapter Ninety-Eight: Walking the Dark Ghost
The clouds are dark and the sky is low, and the sunset is like fire, gilding the mountains with a golden glow.
A team of 100 people dressed in camouflage uniforms, carrying backpacks and rifles in their hands walked through the mountains and forests.
The weight of the backpack was evident from the fact that it was falling from behind them, and the straps that were strapped into the muscles on their shoulders.
"Hurry up and get to the edge before dark!"
The first stubble man with a light submachine gun stopped, lifted the backpack behind him hard, and whispered to the people behind him.
This person is Hong Ying, who is responsible for transporting jadeite wool outside.
Although Hong Ying has led the team back and forth several times and is already familiar with the road, he does not dare to relax in the face of the drought-stricken primeval forest.
In addition to beware of poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the primeval forest, you must always keep an eye on your surroundings and be vigilant against the appearance of enemies.
The fog and humidity in the rough forest are just too heavy!
In addition, the heavy rain some time ago made it difficult for the moisture in the forest to dissipate, and the grass and trees in the forest were covered with water droplets, dripping down from time to time.
The path that was temporarily carved out at the foot of the road leading to the outside was even more muddy, and people would slip and fall if they were not careful when they walked on the soft soil and wet moss.
The last rays of sunset begin to sink into the western mountains, the peaks rise, the mountain breeze blows, and a crescent crescent gradually climbs into the air.
"One more mountain to get there!"
Carrying a heavy backpack for a long time and trekking on mountain roads made Hong Ying so tired that his legs trembled a little.
When the whole team heard this, their faces showed joy, and they still didn't say a word, gritting their teeth and continuing to move forward.
At this time, everyone was soaking wet, and they didn't know whether it was the moisture in the forest or the sweat on their bodies.
The sky is getting dark, the primeval forest is miserable, there is no trace of popularity, there is occasional wind and grass, and the tense soul strings are also terrifying.
Hong Ying, who was walking in front, suddenly frowned, stopped suddenly, raised his hand and waved it behind him, and hid sideways behind a tree next to him.
The people behind him were shocked, and quickly found cover, holding the rifle with one hand and the bolt on the rifle with the other.
One by one, they held their breath and listened to all directions.
Hong Ying was next to the tree, holding the submachine gun in his left hand, and quickly pulled out the pistol at his waist with his right hand, swiped at the arm of his left hand, opened the safe, and carefully observed the surroundings.
At night, the forest was silent.
It's a little scary and depressing......
The sweat on Hong Ying's forehead gradually slid into his eyes, making him feel a hot pain, and he couldn't help but blink his eyes a few times.
"Gah!"
At this moment, a long song of a strange bird was heard not far away.
He was so frightened that his heart rose to his throat, and his hair stood on end.
"Captain...... I didn't see any movement!"
One of the team members who followed behind a tree whispered.
The bird's cry just now also frightened him a lot, and he was still trembling at the moment, and his voice was a little trembling.
Hong Ying's tense nerves relaxed a lot when he heard this, and he sighed.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, and he just wanted to put away the gun, but he saw some reflections in the grass not far away, his eyes suddenly bulged, and the whole person was so frightened that his soul was scattered!
In the hazy moonlight, the grass not far away was squirming, and there was a row of people with blurred faces lying inside, and they were adjusting their guns to their side!
Bang!
Hong Ying immediately made a decision, raised his hand to shoot at the grass, and quickly pounced behind the tree next door.
I heard a scream from the grass, and at the same time there was a sound of gunfire in the grass.
Woohoo Woo T
A row of catapults shot at the tree where Hong Ying was standing just now, instantly knocking the trunk beyond recognition, and the team member who spoke just now was directly shot into a sieve.
The crowd that heard the gunfire instantly pulled the bolt of the gun and fired into the grass.
呯呯呯呯......
Gunfire continued to ring, and the two sides exchanged fire.
The screams of being shot were heard in the grass without stone cover.
"Little Liu!"
Hong Yinggang hid his body behind a tree, and when he saw his teammate who was talking to him just now, he fell directly to the ground, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Stretched out his hand to grab Xiaoliu's body, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a hot pain in his arm, and his hand unconsciously retracted!
"Damn!"
Hong Ying roared angrily, hid his figure back behind the tree, ignored the pain in his arm, and shouted loudly: "Little Liu, how are you?"
Seeing that Xiao Liu didn't respond, Hong Ying's heart sank, and he tilted his head slightly outward, looking at Xiao Liu's position.
With the help of the moonlight, I saw Xiao Liu's eyes wide open, lying motionless on the ground, his body was densely covered with bullet holes, and blood kept gushing out.
"Ahh
Hong Ying felt a pain in his heart, and his eyes cracked as he looked at the grass not far away.
Under the suppression of the fire of hundreds of people, only sporadic return fire remained in the grass at this time.
"Bastard!"
Hong Ying angrily raised his pistol and shot at the black shadow in the grass, each shot raised a blood flower, and each shot brought a scream.
After the bullets in the pistol were finished, Hong Ying threw the pistol, picked up the submachine gun and pulled the bolt, stood up, and fired wildly at the grass.
Dadada!
The submachine gun continued to bubble in the darkness, and the bullets sprayed out like fire, instantly beating the grass into debris, and with the attacks of other team members, the grass soon stopped moving.
It wasn't until all the bullets in the magazine were fired that Hong Ying took the gun, walked to Xiao Liu's position with tears in his eyes, squatted down, and picked up Xiao Liu who was lying on the ground.
Feeling the passage of life on Xiao Liu's body, Hong Ying shouted in a panic: "Xiao Liu, wake up...... Don't scare your brother, my brother hasn't shown you the world outside!"
"Okay, I'll take you there after I'm done this time!"
"Wake up, Little Six...... Don't sleep!"
"You haven't eaten ice cream yet...... As long as you wake up, my brother will let you eat enough!"
"Hurry up...... You haven't bought a gift for your grandmother yet...... You said yes!"
Hong Ying said and spoke, the whole person choked up, and couldn't hold back any longer, hot tears slipped from the tiger's eyes.
The team members who came around also looked at Xiao Liu in Hong Ying's arms with red eyes.
This seventeen-year-old kid, since he joined the army, has not been lazy because he is Captain Hong's cousin, he has trained harder than anyone else, and all the assessments are also exceptionally good!
In the barracks, Hong Ying did not give him any preferential treatment, but demanded stricter, because he knew that only by sweating more in peacetime could he shed less blood in wartime.
Originally, Hong Ying's name was not selected for this mission.
Because he seriously lacks actual combat experience, unlike others, he has followed him all the way to survive the rain of bullets.
Later, under his constant begging, and the other team members also continued to help him with good words, thinking that this mission was only to transport jade, as long as he was careful on the road, there would be no danger, and he also wanted him to increase some survival experience in the jungle, Hong Ying reluctantly agreed, but kept telling him to follow him around, not to leave his line of sight.
The first few deliveries were smooth, but I didn't expect to hurt him this time!
If he didn't let him come, or if he didn't let him follow him all the time, he wouldn't ......
Everyone recalled the scenes of training together, and they couldn't help but cry.
A team member wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, squatted down and comforted: "Captain...... Xiaoliu is gone, you ......"
Shout!
A gunshot rang out in the distance, and the bullet passed directly through the neck of the team member with a sharp sound of breaking wind, interrupting his words, and the blood sprayed directly on Hong Ying's face.
"Board!"
The surrounding team members exclaimed.
Hong Ying panicked in his heart, and looked up to see the board beside him raising his hand with difficulty and covering his neck, but he couldn't cover it, and blood kept gushing out through his fingers.
Shout!
Another sound of breaking wind sounded.
Hong Ying's whole body tightened, and he was so frightened that he couldn't care about the grief in his heart, so he turned sideways and hid behind the tree next to him.
Boom!
The bullet landed on a small stone in Hong Ying's original location, directly splashing a cloud of sparks.
Hong Ying suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Woohoo......
The dense sound of breaking wind sounded in his ears, and the team members around him were constantly shot and fell to the ground.
Everyone is not a novice, and when you hear this gunshot, you know that you have encountered a blocker, and there are quite a few of them!
After a brief panic, they found cover, raised their guns, and carefully looked around, looking for the enemy's position.
However, just as everyone was hiding, the gunfire around them suddenly stopped.
Hearing the wails of the team members who fell to the ground, Hong Ying felt that his heart was dripping blood!
Quickly hooked a rifle on the ground with his foot, held it in his hand, and looked around for a target with wide, red eyes.
The most frightening and helpless thing on the battlefield is to face this kind of blocker walking in the dark.
Because you never know where the other person lurks!
I don't know when they'll make a move!
And when they strike, it is usually a fatal blow that leaves no chance for the enemy!
As long as they don't die, they are kings of the jungle!
Listening to the gunshots coming from all directions, this situation of more than one person blocking the attacker made Hong Ying feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart!
Having experienced battles big and small, he has never been so helpless as at this moment!
This is clearly a conspiracy ambush, and there are definitely quite a few of them!
It's not that he hasn't fought battles where less wins more.
It's just that this time, because they are mainly transporting jade, in order to reduce the burden, they collectively travel lightly, and the weapons and bullets on their bodies don't match much!
What's more, the enemy came prepared, had already taken the lead, and was still in the shadows, so that Hong Ying and they still don't know who it is and where it is!
Shout!
A swift sound of breaking wind sounded, and one of the teammates next to Hong Ying snorted, losing his life in an instant.
Woohoo......
The sound of breaking wind sounded one after another, like a talisman, each sound heralded the passing of a fresh life.
The blockers hidden in the darkness are like ghosts walking in the darkness, constantly harvesting life.
