Chapter 709: The Firelight of the Night
It is a giant horse with a height of two meters at the shoulder, but it is not bulky, but has beautiful muscular lines all over its body, which makes people imagine its speed and strength. Immediately sat the tall sergeant, a heavy matte armor with deep grooves cut through it, their dark skin and messy beards, and they thrust their swords back into the sword pouches behind them, and drew their spears from the aliens, snorted and brought out the blood, and then walked towards the men.
Because they have beards and poor skin, they are dark and chapped, so they look much older than their actual age, but Cheng Yun can still see through these that they are actually very young, and the leader is a little older, at most twenty-five years old.
When they approached, they looked at a few people, but they were all stunned.
The neat and brightly colored clothes, although the style is strange, are well made, and the skin is fair, so white that they dare not look at it, especially a few little girls.
A few young men immediately lowered their heads.
One of the leading squad leaders was also silent for a long time, at this time they all lost the courage they had when they fought against the aliens, and the shyness and inferiority complex from their hearts seemed to be more fierce than the aliens. Finally, he mustered up the courage and opened his mouth to ask in a hoarse voice, "Who are you and why are you here?"
His eyes moved down slightly, and he was even more stunned: "Why do you still have one...... What is this?"
Cheng Yun stood up and said, "You are a hunting team, right?"
"Yes. ”
"General Jing-Li is your leader. ”
"Yes......" the squad leader hesitated, "Do you know our General Li?"
"Yes, we are his friends, but we don't know how to find him, can you give us a specific direction?" Cheng Yun said.
"Huh?"
The squad leader frowned.
Now it is a war between humans and aliens, this war condenses everyone into one, there is no enemy, only humans and aliens, he will not treat any human race as an enemy, but these people do look at it strangely.
He looked back at his teammates and asked, "How did you get here?"
"We're from another world. ”
"Another world!!"
"Oh!!"
The crowd was shocked.
The team leader's eyes widened and he stumbled, "You guys...... General Lee...... It's ......"
Cheng Yun nodded without waiting for him to finish: "That's right, your General Li just went to my world." ”
The crowd was even more shocked.
As we all know, General Li once established a defensive line at Cangshan Pass, but was later defeated, Cangshan Pass was lost, and General Li returned two years after 'death', which did not bring the dawn of victory to mankind. It was precisely after the alien race was divided into pieces that the hunting regiment they belonged to was established by General Lee, and it took several years before it officially launched a hunt to hunt the alien races scattered across the land.
The squad leader didn't ask much, immediately turned over and dismounted, beat his chest with his right hand and saluted: "We will take you back to see General Li!"
"You ...... Don't have a mission?"
"Escorting you is more important. ”
"No, you show me the way, if there is a way, it would be better. ”
"Although there are few aliens on this side, there are still them, and it is very dangerous along the way, so we can escort you. ”
"We have the power to protect ourselves and not delay you. ”
"That ......"
The squad leader hesitated for a moment, then looked back at his teammates, he used this gesture to hide his nervousness, and after a moment nodded and said, "Okay then...... Okay, let's take you to the nearest official road, and you can go all the way in the direction of the setting sun. It's just that the official road was built more than ten years ago before the invasion of foreign races, and although it doesn't grow grass now, it is broken in some places. We give you spare horses. ”
"Thank you then, but we don't use horses either, we have our own cars. ”
"Huh......? Good. The squad leader stammered.
"Then go and get the spare horses, and our car is parked outside. Cheng Yun grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Yes, yes!"
When the squad leader turned around, someone rode away to fetch a spare horse.
He still stayed by Cheng Yun and the others, but he was a few meters apart, he didn't dare to get too close, he sat down against a tree, took off his helmet and looked up at the sky, looking very tired.
After the guns were loaded, two soldiers were still heavily armed and on guard, while one went to the lake with everyone's water bottles to fetch water.
These soldiers are all very tall, at least 1.9 meters tall, and have a strong physique.
Tang Qingying quietly looked at these people.
The squad leader was the oldest, with long, unkempt hair, and when he took off his helmet, there was a place on his head that was hairless, and it was evident from the rest of the world - he had been through a lot of battles.
Soon, the team leader stood up again and looked at Cheng Yun and his party from afar: "My lord, do you want to eat, let's ...... With some roasted red roots. ”
Tang Qingying was stunned for a moment before she reacted to the word 'red lotus'.
Cheng Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, we have eaten." ”
"Do you want water?"
"Not at all. ”
"Yes. ”
The squad leader sat down again.
Suddenly, the soldier who was fetching water from the kettle noticed movement in the jungle, and when he looked up, he immediately saw the beast - this beast was hiding in the thorn bushes and secretly watching them!
The soldier's eyes immediately turned green: "Hey!"
The two vigilant soldiers followed their eyes and found this extremely hidden beast from the thorn bushes, and one of them even took out his musket, turned his head to look at the team leader, and swallowed his saliva with a grunt: "Captain, there is a big worm!"
The team leader turned his head to look at it and was surprised: "There is still this thing now!?"
Facing the gaze of his teammates, he also licked his dry and cracked lips, apparently such a beast was enough for them to eat several meals.
They are out in danger, they are surrounded by barrenness, and they have long been tired of eating dry food every day.
But he didn't give an order immediately, but hesitated, his heart was at war, his eyes flickered, and after a while, his face finally showed an unbearable look, gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Forget it, it's not easy for this animal to live until now!
The soldier lowered his musket, reluctant.
The squad leader let out a long sigh.
Since the attack of aliens more than ten years ago, people have not lived peacefully, and these beasts are not the same!
He stood up first, raised his broadsword, and walked step by step towards the beast, driving it away. But he found a sheep next to the beast that had eaten a few bites.
After a little struggle, he rushed over and snatched the sheep.
Faced with a beast that was eager to attack him, he cut off only two legs of lamb and threw the rest back to it.
Walking back, the team leader came to Cheng Yun and the others, and continued to ask in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to eat mutton, we can be responsible for roasting ...... for you."
After a pause, he added, "It's a good thing, it hasn't been eaten by that beast." ”
Cheng Yun smiled slightly: "The soldiers have worked very hard, let's leave this leg of mutton for you to eat, we have food with us." But we're really looking for some wild vegetables, mushrooms, and the like that we can eat. ”
When the team leader heard this, he immediately said, "My lord, please wait a moment, we will find it for you immediately!"
After saying that, he turned around directly, leaving a young soldier standing around everyone at a loss, and the rest walked into the woods.
Cheng Yun's eyes flickered, and he couldn't bear it.
While Cheng Yan was familiar with the performance of the gun in his hand, he said lightly: "When General Li first came to us, these people were not as old as us, right?"
Cheng Yun's gaze fluctuated again.
This sentence also easily touched Tang Qingying, and she sighed and said, "But they are used to such a brutal battle now!"
Everyone fell silent and looked at the soldiers standing on the other side.
At this time, the soldiers on duty also secretly glanced at them with their spare eyes, and with just one glance, he withdrew his gaze.
The shyness and inferiority in those eyes made people feel distressed, and it was impossible to imagine that they were powerful warriors who could leave their base camp to hunt aliens. If it were an era of peace, some of them would have already married and had children, and maybe some of them would have successful careers, but in short, they would not be like now, mixed with scars and the smell of sweat all over their bodies, going deep into the wasteland to hunt aliens, and no one knew when they would die.
About half an hour later, the soldiers who had gone to fetch the spare horses were the first to return, and the line suddenly grew larger.
Each soldier had more than two spare horses, some carrying spare weapons and armor, some carrying fodder and water, and some carrying nothing, which were the spare main war horses. There was also a horse carrying a seriously wounded soldier.
Yes, the Kill Squad is a team of ten.
With the addition of the scouts on the Giant Eagle and the addition of this wounded soldier, it is considered a complete establishment.
It took about another ten minutes for the squad leader to return.
Cheng Yun and the others hurriedly got up: "Thank you." ”
The team leader put the wild vegetables and mushrooms on the ground, and went to get two cloth bags and put them together, but he didn't give them to them immediately, and said, "Let the adults wait for a long time, let's help the adults take them first, where is your car parked?"
Cheng Yun didn't even say no.
The old horse knows the way, and the little Lori also knows the way.
Walking out of the forest, a huge eagle stopped outside, and a lightly armored soldier knocked on the window with his hand, and was stunned when he saw the group, and then shouted to the team leader: "Captain, there is a strange thing here." ”
Cheng Yun said: "This is our car. ”
After explaining a few words to them, and then explaining that the off-road performance of this car is not very good, everyone is ready to go.
The giant eagle flew into the sky again, circling to show the way, the team leader walked in front to find a way for the car to go, and the remaining horses scattered around the car, and Cheng Yun also drove very slowly.
From time to time, the soldiers glanced at the pure black car that could reverse the figure, and they were both surprised and embarrassed to ask, probably in their opinion, this thing belonged to a vehicle that was taller than the previous emperor's dragon chariot.
And in Cheng Yun's opinion, how could the horses and giant eagles they ride not be like this?
These horses can be described as miraculous horses, with such a large load, and they can burst out with such a fast speed, and they are so strong, if they get to the earth, even if they dig out its 'out-of-print' bloodline value, this physical fitness and appearance alone can buy dozens or hundreds of his cars, right? Those rich people and Western aristocrats spend tens of millions of dollars to raise excellent racing horses are considered birds in front of this war horse?
And this giant eagle......
Tut-tut!
In short, Cheng Yun was envious!
I walked for more than two hours before I finally stepped on an official road, and it was already dusk.
Two soldiers stepped forward and respectfully handed them the cloth bags containing wild vegetables.
Yin Nuxia and Tang Qingying went to pick it up, facing two pairs of white and tender hands, Tang Qingying also had a silver bracelet on his wrist, and the squad leader and another soldier took their hands back in a lightning flash, hanging down on their sides, trying to hide their hands that were chapped and dark, calloused, and mixed with blood, sludge and sweat.
This made Tang Qingying stunned again, and then she felt distressed and ashamed of herself, but of course she didn't say anything, she just smiled sweetly, said thank you and walked back.
The team leader stepped forward again, cautiously explained to Cheng Yun how to go, and some precautions, and then took the team down the mountain. Climbing up a hill, dozens of horses are facing the setting sun, leaving a string of rigid silhouettes.
The shutter clicked sounded.
Faintly, one of them glanced back, but soon disappeared again.
Cheng Yan put down the camera, his eyes deep.
Tang Qingying kept sitting and taking a deep breath, and said, "I feel so uncomfortable, it's the first time I've seen such a situation!"
Cheng Yan glanced at her: "Rejoice!"
Tang Qingying suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! How can there be blood on this bag!"
Cheng Yan looked at her suspiciously, but after a few seconds, her brows widened again, her eyes suddenly became deeper, and she looked expressionlessly in the direction where the group of soldiers had disappeared.
Tang Qingying untied the cloth bag, and there was a leg of mutton among the wild vegetables mainly mushrooms.
She opened her mouth wide: "This ......"
I really don't know how to describe the mood at this time.
All she knew was that she was more uncomfortable.
As night fell, the crowd set up tents on the official road, one small and two large. Cheng Yun and Xiao Lori live on one roof, and the three of them live on one roof, the distribution of combat power is quite even, and all parties have great gods. And Yin Nuxia and Xiao Lori are both very vigilant - Yin Nuxia has long been accustomed to beware of enemy attacks when sleeping in the open air, and Xiao Lori is similar, except for Cheng Yun who can't wake it up when it sleeps, any little wind and grass can't hide it.
The seasoning on the car is enough, the leg of lamb is roasted fragrantly, the mushroom and wild vegetable soup in the pot also begins to steam, and luncheon meat is also added, so that one man and one beast can swallow their saliva when they see it.
The other three were in no mood to speak.
These two fires were the only light of the night.
Not long after, Cheng Yun got up and said, "You can eat, you eat first, I'll go to the toilet." ”
Cheng Yan looked at him in amazement: "Go to the toilet and then eat?"
Cheng Yun nodded: "Yes!"
Walking a few meters forward, Cheng Yun turned his head and found that two figures, one large and one small, were following him, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "What are you doing?"
Little Lori looks at Yin Nuxia.
Yin Nuxia tilted her head to retrieve it in her head, and then said, "Come with you, I'm afraid there will be danger." ”
Lori: "Whew!"
Cheng Yun said with a dark face: "I have a gun!"
Yin Nuxia thought for a while and said, "And I can also solve personal problems!"
Little Lori: "Woo woo......"
Cheng Yun: "......"
