Chapter Forty-Nine: The Wolf Pack Clan
In the Gobi in October, scattered snow is scattered in the gravel, under the bright sunshine, reflecting a little white light, more than half of the mountains in the distance have been covered by snow, only a section of red yellow under the mountain reminds everything, this is already the belly of the plateau red land.
On the first day, the fat man and I were in the desert Gobi for the first time, the vast expanse of the eyes, the world seemed so wide, no matter the sunrise and sunset are the only beautiful scenery in the mainland, let us widen our eyes for fear that in the blink of an eye, this spectacular scenery will never be seen again!
By the next day, except for the strange rocks and mountains that flashed through the car window from time to time, they could not attract our attention. When I open the car window, sometimes I will pour a mouthful of yellow sand into my mouth, which hurts and aggrieved...... When you close the window, you can't feel the warmth of the seemingly strong sunlight shining on your body, and the cold cracked air seems to have frozen......
Sister Ying told us that Xinjiang Province is not as good as Tibet, and you don't need to take high anti-drug drugs when you go to most areas. From March to July, the scenery of Xinjiang Province is the most beautiful, and the tourists are also the most, and in October, in addition to the left side of the Tianshan Mountains and northern Xinjiang, there are several scenic spots where you can enjoy the autumn scenery of poplar and snow-capped mountains, and the population is extremely sparse......
Ye Qianmiao is a local and has long been accustomed to this climate, so she just keeps changing her sitting position in the back seat and rubbing her legs......
On the evening of the next day, the fat man had already entered hibernation mode, sleeping under a blanket, and even though the wind and sand smashed the body "crackling", he could not wake him up.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that Ye Qianmiao told us that the minibus finally stopped in one place for a long time in addition to refueling and stopping.
Ye Qianmiao pointed to the computer screen and said to us: "This place is called Yecheng, which is connected to the Kunlun Mountains on one side and the Taklamakan Desert on the other. It has the reputation of "the hometown of walnuts" and "the hometown of jade". ”
Ye Qianmiao smiled at me and said: "Yecheng now belongs to the county government, in ancient times people called 'West Night Country', 'Zihe Country' and 'Yaerqiang' is here, the Qing Dynasty Dingbian General Zhaohui refused to garrison troops here, and later found the Thousand Buddha Caves in Western Liao, so it is famous for tourism......
"This minibus is parked on the outskirts of the county, to the west can go directly to the border, to the south can go down to Hotan, and to the east is the chessboard Thousand Buddha Cave Scenic Area and the desert ......"
Before Ye Qianmiao could finish his introduction, the red dot moved again, and it was actually heading towards the east.
Ye Qianmiao also found out, and she knocked on the health plate a few times and said to me:
"The scenic area is located in a valley not far southwest of Yecheng...... But this road ...... This road is a dead end!"
"Because of the scenic area, traffic monitoring is relatively centralized and easy to track...... But if the destination of Zhongba is not the Thousand Buddha Caves, then we can't track it......"
Ye Qianmiao said to me helplessly.
I complimented her and said, "You've done a great job and made predictions in advance, thank you!"
Ye Qianmiao lowered her head when she heard this, blushing and pursing her lips and smiling.
Sister Ying turned back to me Nunu, her eyes glancing back and forth between me and Ye Qianmiao.
I'm stupid, look at what Sister Ying means, this is ...... This is to introduce me to someone???
I rolled my eyes at her, I'm only seventeen years old, okay! And Ye Qianmiao may be a few years older than me......
Sister Ying glared at me, and then snorted at me, motioning for me to have more contact with Qian Miao.
I ignored her and beckoned the Secret Service Crew, who was driving the car, to use the walkie-talkie to call the car behind me to follow.
I asked Ye Qianmiao to call up the nearby map while tracking.
There were three cars in our group, which were very close to each other, and it was about four or five kilometers away from Xu Xu's minibus.
After turning a corner, a straight asphalt road stretches out of the city into the desert to the east.
I was able to see as many as I could, and vaguely noticed that in addition to the gray minibuses, there were four or five minibuses following them, but because the dust was too big and the snow was dazzling, I really couldn't determine how many there were.
I picked up the walkie-talkie in the car and said to Captain Wang:
"Senior Brother Wang, can you contact the nearby scenic spots, and can you ask them to see if there are any tourists in the scenic spots now?"
It's already afternoon, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any tourists.
But just in case, it's better to figure it out in advance.
After waiting for two minutes, Captain Wang replied to me that due to the weather, there are no tourists in the scenic area now.
After the car drove for about 20 minutes, Xu Xu and their bus still did not stop, and continued to travel to the depths of the desert.
Ye Qianmiao said strangely:
"Beyond that, there are no roads, at least not in the provincial transport network...... Don't they know that ordinary cars can't drive in the desert at all?"
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Qianmiao's voice fell, the movement speed of the red dot on the computer screen slowed down, and after waiting for a few more minutes, it completely stopped.
I immediately notified the stop, and as soon as the car stopped, the fat man woke up and hummed:
"It's time to eat again?...... I'm about to break my waist...... Quickly help Brother Thor...... I don't want to eat it! Get some meat to make up for it......"
In the past three days, we have not eaten a single meal except for buying some dry food such as sacs, yogurt, and pickles when we were refueling.
It's no wonder that the fat man complained, he relied on meat for more than 200 catties, and he seemed to have lost a little weight after eating vegetarian for a few days......
The car stopped in front of a loess mound, Ye Qianmiao pointed to the back of the mound and said to me:
"Turning this mountain is the road to the scenic spot, but the direction of the bus is not the Thousand Buddha Cave, but ...... Desert!?"
Captain Wang and Sister Ying immediately gave a few orders after observing each other for a while, and the two rows of special service members quickly got out of the car, stood straight in two rows, and quietly waited for instructions.
There were about a dozen soldiers in the first row, most of them in their twenties, all dressed in yellow and green armed uniforms, with submachine guns on their shoulders and magazines hanging from their waists, standing straight under the wind and sand.
There were only seven or eight people in the back row, men and women, all of them were dressed in modern clothes, their appearance was flat but their eyes were sharp and abnormal, and one or two of them were a little familiar, probably people who followed Sister Ying in Sichuan Province before.
Captain Wang approached me and said:
"Senior Brother Chen, some of the members of the special service team of the first and fifth groups are here, there are the 'wolf pack special combat team' and some Taoist cultivators. The rest are still in Wushi, do you think you need me to introduce them?"
I nodded.
Captain Wang quickly walked to the front of the team, swept his eyes, and said:
"The 'wolf pack' special combat team of the special service group listens to the order!
Captain Wang paused for a moment, and his eyes looked at me.
My mind is racing, is this to let me show my identity?
Thinking of this, I immediately lifted the metal sign that Huang Lao gave me.
Captain Wang said "stand upright", and after the two rows of team members straightened their chests, Captain Wang immediately said loudly: "From left to right, code name and action position, report!"
"Wolf pack special operations team, codenamed 'lone wolf', scout!" said a dark-skinned warrior on the far left.
"Wolf pack special combat team, codenamed 'Gray Wolf', assault!"
"Wolf pack special combat team, codenamed 'Broken Teeth', assault!"
"Wolf pack special combat team, codenamed 'Bloody Blade', assault!"
"Wolf pack special combat team, codenamed 'Talon', demolition assault!"
"Wolf pack special operations team, codenamed 'Green Light', sniper observer!"
"Wolf pack special combat team, codename 'lone wolf', sniper!"
......
More than a dozen soldiers quickly reported their code names and operational duties, and their speech was extremely fast, loud and neat, and it seemed that they were a team that had experienced a hundred battles.
Captain Wang waited for the soldiers to finish reporting, and said loudly to everyone: "The specific situation of this mission will be handed down by this Captain Wang in a moment," Captain Wang pointed at me and said, "This Consultant Chen, specially appointed by Chief Huang, will give you a brief explanation!"
"There are only two points I want to say! First, since the establishment of the special combat team, everyone has only received desert survival operations during special training, and there is no real practice in the actual mission.
"Second, from now on, Consultant Chen will command with me and Captain Zhang, and the specific division of labor is as follows: Captain Zhang and I are responsible for leading the team, logistics, communications, etc., and the actual combat deployment will be arranged by Consultant Chen...... Okay, now I would like to ask Consultant Chen to give a brief description of this mission!"
I was a little stupid when I heard it, and this Captain Wang didn't discuss it with me, so he let me command it in a unified manner?
And in the face of this group of well-trained armed fighters, some of whom are much older than me, how can they convince the public?
Captain Wang nodded at me after speaking, and took a few steps back with trust and encouragement in his eyes.
The faces of the soldiers did not have any emotional fluctuations because of my young age, and even when they heard that the two captains, Zhang and Wang, had retreated to the second line of command, they did not show the slightest suspicion or distrust.
They still stood up straight, their eyes fixed on me.
I took a deep breath and stepped forward, looking at the tense faces and resolute eyes of the warriors, and suddenly my heart was filled with a bloodiness of steel.
