At night, Hoh Xil is very beautiful, especially when there is no cloud cover, standing in a protected area away from the hustle and bustle, looking up at the sky, you can see the beautiful starry sky, the starry sky dotted with countless stars, people can't help but be fascinated, and such a scene, in the big city, it is difficult to see with the naked eye alone.

Near the mountain range in the northwest of the reserve, an unlit warrior off-road vehicle is constantly approaching the mountain range in front of it under the light of the starry sky, and the driver sitting in the driver's seat has a night vision device on his head to ensure that he can still clearly see the situation ahead without turning on the lights.

When it was still about five kilometers away from the mountain range, the warrior car finally stopped, and then two strangely dressed people stepped out of the car, it was Shang Jie and Yu Fei.

The two people who were also wearing night vision devices were waving their hands, watching the warrior car leave, and the two who turned their heads were each wearing their own things, walking towards the mountains in the distance step by step....

Dozens of minutes later, after the two people who were close to the mountain confirmed the direction, the two people who began to move towards their destination soon arrived at the top of the destination.

At this time, about twenty meters below Shang Jie and Yu Fei, there is a small river valley, the river valley is probably in the shape of water droplets, the bottom of the water droplets is the inside of the river valley, and the top of the water droplets is the exit of the river valley. That is, the shape of a large inside and a small outside.

The mountains on both sides of the valley are only a few hundred meters high, and the slopes vary from twenty or thirty degrees in the low places to seventy or eighty degrees in the steep places!

The area of the river valley is about a few hundred square meters, and near the side of the mountain, you can see a small waterhole of several square meters reflecting the starry sky in the sky.

This valley between two mountain ranges was supposed to have been a river a long, long time ago, from which glacial meltwater pooled into a large pool and then flowed outside.

Later, as glacial meltwater decreased, rivers and pools dried up and eventually became what they are today.

And now, the original big waterhole is only a small waterhole of a few square meters in front of it.

However, if it is daytime, you can see groundwater seeping out of the rock wall in front of the pool. Although it is very few, it has accumulated a lot.

And those poachers, it is precisely because of this small waterhole that they can hide in this river valley for three months!

"Looks like there's no one down there!"

On the mountain above the river valley, when he took out the small thermal imager, and when he saw that there was not even a heat source below, Yu Fei, who muttered, immediately turned off the thermal imager in his hand.

"Less nonsense, hurry up and find a sniper position, there are still a lot of things waiting for us, we have to complete all the preparations before dawn!"

Shang Jie, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but scold when he heard this, but when he knew that there were no poachers below, Shang Jie was also a lot more casual, at least he could speak casually for the time being.

Hearing this, Yu Fei pursed his lips, but still followed Yu Fei and began to continue to move towards a high place, looking for the best sniper position.

In the end, Yu Fei and Shang Jie finally confirmed their target on a small gentle slope about 100 meters away from the river valley, and lying on this small gentle slope, they could basically see 80% of the situation in the river valley below.

Moreover, this gentle slope is located on the side and rear of the river valley, and once the tactical team attacks the river valley, Shang Jie and Yu Fei will be able to clear the way from the side and rear to clear the road for the other team members to attack.

After confirming the sniper position, the two of them first carefully picked up the turf on the ground, along with a thick layer of soil, in the position close to the downhill, and the size of the turf was about a circle larger than a person's size. The two of them took out such a large piece of turf at a distance of about two meters.

After doing this, the two men continued to dig down with a portable armor shovel, and each dug a pit about two meters long, sixty or seventy centimeters wide, in the shape of a slope, and the deepest part was about thirty or forty centimeters.

After covering the bottom of the pit with a special layer of cold protection pads, the two men with weapons in their hands fell into their respective long pits, and when they felt that part of their bodies were uncomfortable lying on their stomachs, they lifted the cold protection pads and continued to trim.

Eventually, I felt comfortable lying inside, and I was able to see the outside and the valley. Eventually, after putting the excess into the pit, the two of them separately covered the pit with a special covering cloth, which contained tiny steel wires inside, like a wire bed with a quilt cover.

After covering this object, with the cooperation of the two of them, both of them carefully re-covered the two pieces of turf they had just taken out.

At the moment when the turf was covered, the pit that had been conspicuous seemed to disappear, and the entire gentle slope returned to its previous appearance, as if nothing had happened. But underneath the turf, there are two more potholes big enough for one person to hide!

After seeing that the method worked, whether it was Shang Jie or Yu Fei, the two of them who glanced at each other showed excited expressions on their faces.

In order to allow Shang Jie and Yu Fei to lurk on the slope without cover, Luo Xueqin can be said to have made sufficient preparations, and even urgently transferred a batch of supplies directly from the Snow Leopard Brigade, and most of the things that the two of them carried this time were tools used to help the two of them lurk.

After the rational use of these things, in addition to weapons and ammunition, the two men were left with a water bladder for storing a liter of water, a special purpose container, and a portable sapper shovel that had been used.

In terms of weapons and ammunition, the two of them couldn't be more concise, Shang Jie's sniper rifle, in addition to a magazine on the gun, there is a spare magazine left around him, and Yu Fei, as an observer, is also in a similar situation.

By the time the two of them finished the above things, in fact, several hours had passed, and the sky had begun to turn slightly white at this time, and there was not much time left before the sun rose.

In the end, after the two of them cleaned up all the excavated soil and stones, and repaired them according to the appearance of the previous gentle slope, and confirmed that the current gentle slope was the same as before, and basically did not see anything unusual, the two lifted the turf covering the entrance of the pit, and after drilling into the hole, the two of them successfully lurked down with only a gap about a few centimeters high.

The efforts of the two were not in vain, at this time, whether they used a drone to check from the sky, or to observe it with the naked eye, it was difficult to find the abnormality here, let alone know that there were two more living people in this gentle slope.

Fortunately, the turf on the gentle slope at this time is basically grass that has already withered, and new grass has not yet grown, so no matter how long it stays, it will not change. Otherwise, if it is fresh grass, in such a situation, the green grass will easily wither over time, and when the time comes, it will also easily attract the attention of poachers.

After successfully lurking, Shang Jie and Yu Fei directly cut off basic communication, and the two who did not speak remained motionless in the pit dug out, only about every few tens of minutes, the two of them would relax their bodies slightly to relieve the numbness caused by the body not moving for a long time.

Because they can't move, the two of them must not be able to be large for at least the next ten hours. Once they do feel this way, the two end up pulling in their crotch.

Therefore, long before leaving, the two had already emptied everything in their bodies, and in the next ten hours, the two who could not eat could only rely on drinking water to maintain their physical strength in their bodies.

Even if they pee, the two of them can only use that special container to collect urine, and the size of the container is limited, and the two of them must not drink as much water as they want, and whenever they feel thirsty, the two of them only take a sip of water.

In this way, the two relied on this method and insisted silently for several hours.

A few hours later, the sky was completely bright, and the two of them finally saw the situation in the valley below.

In the valley near the waterhole, there are a lot of things covered with camouflage cloth, and although these poachers try to hide the traces of human life, there are still many places in the valley, and it can be seen that many people have lived here....

Today is a rare day of good weather, the sun hanging in the cloudless sky, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold reserve. And as time passed, the sun began to turn slowly.

Near noon, the calm river valley finally moved, accompanied by the sound of car engines, a muddy off-road vehicle appeared in the field of vision of Shang Jie and Yu Fei, followed by a motorcycle.

Soon, the SUV stopped at the entrance of the river valley, and as the door opened, a blonde foreigner walked out of the SUV with two foreigners who were also blonde and blue-eyed, followed by a man about forty years old.

From the scope of the sniper rifle, Shang Jie confirmed that the three foreigners were Ram and the two assistants he brought, and as for the middle-aged man who followed Ram, it was Yu Shunlai, the leader of the poachers this time!

After the four of them walked into the river valley, the remaining two poachers took out a large piece of camouflage cloth from the off-road vehicle and directly covered the off-road vehicle in the camouflage cloth.

If it weren't for himself watching the two poachers cover the camouflage cloth on the car, Shang Jie might have observed for a long time before he could see clearly that there was a camouflage cloth more than 100 meters away, and an off-road vehicle was covered underneath.
