"No, I can't. "I'm cut at it. Wang Pearl frowned and questioned: "It's better to do this as soon as possible, if it drags on, there may be another accident." The sooner we leave, the better the chances of them being saved. ”

"Liu Bowen and I said," I continued, "the rooster crows." I think it's better for us to wait until dawn before we go, otherwise we're going against the sky. "What are you kidding, but regardless of the sunset that is about to fall on the mountain, I don't know anything about that group at the moment. If you are not familiar with life, it is better to try to avoid fighting unprepared battles.

"Mr. Wang, this little brother is right," the tall young man with eyes next to Wang Pearl said, it was the secretary Xiao Li she called before, "It's going to be dark soon, the night in the mountains is very unfriendly to us people in the city, and I also think it would be more appropriate to start tomorrow morning." ”

Obviously, this young man is not very reluctant to enter the mountain at night, and he did not dare to disobey Wang Zhuzhu's opinion before we came, but now that I have brought a reason, I will naturally help.

Wang Zhuzhu's face was solemn, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke: "It also makes sense, just listen to you, I hope the Qi team is okay." Xiao Li, please give ... Well, what do you call the little brother?"

"You call me Su Ling, these two are Liu Weixian and Guihai Kehui, we are martial arts students of Tagou Academy, our skills are not bad, and we will not cause you trouble in action. "With the help of that little old man in the imperial capital, we almost blended into Wang Pearl's team without even introducing ourselves before.

Wang Pearl nodded, obviously not interested in our identity, the fairy said that we are helpful to her, it is enough. "Xiao Li, get out of that tent on the east side," she began, "you rest there first, and we'll set off at dawn." ”

"Okay, thank you. I replied, "Please tell us about the experience of the previous team, so that we can understand what happened." ”

Storytelling, Wang Pearl didn't want to do it herself, and in the end it fell on the head of the secretary Xiao Li. The previous team advanced to the mountain in a week, a total of eight people, led by a deputy general manager of Wang Zhuzhu, who first judged the location of the scenic spot in Shalong Mountain. Everything was normal until this morning, when suddenly the group lost contact with the camp.

"Did they disappear suddenly?" I mused, "and last night's routine phone call was normal, so it was impossible to know what had happened to them. "Brother Li," I asked, "may I ask if there are any folklore or rumors around here, or any historical monuments or something?"

"I haven't heard of it," Secretary Li scratched his head, "I heard from the local residents that this is an uncivilized primeval forest." You don't have to worry too much, I think it's just that their mobile base station is down, and they should be in a hurry to get to the camp. ”

"Okay, thanks. I said politely. "Rest well, and be ready to leave tomorrow at six o'clock. Secretary Li thought about it, and left our tent.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, the three of us got together in a pile. "Wang Pearl is not simple," I whispered, "I see that this camp is quite well equipped, and there are several firearms. "It's understandable," Ke Hui took over, "Characters like them, in this kind of border area, whether it is the underworld or the white way, have their own ways to get these things. ”

The biggest reason why we took refuge in Wang Pearl was that we couldn't get the right equipment. It's not the era of ghost blowing lights anymore, let alone getting on the train with a bunch of equipment, it is estimated that you will be held down by the security guards on Line 1. It doesn't matter to me whether Wang Pearl can set up a tourist attraction, but there will definitely be professional equipment in her team, such as high-power flashlights, insect repellent, field tents, etc., which we urgently need.

The unexpected joy is these weapons. In this trial, we were limited to equipment and props, and we had a superhuman physical fitness, and it was even more difficult to get a gun in Huaxia, and Wang Pearl was really warm to my heart.

But it's better to live in harmony with these people. If you really turn your face, the gun is ruthless, and it is a troublesome thing whether it kills or not. And our interests are not in conflict, she runs her scenic spot, and I look for my fashionable dust beads, which does not affect each other.

"Why don't they find the police if they're embarrassed?" asked Liu Weixian. "First of all, not all difficulties are to find the police uncle, this kind of thing has to go to the forestry bureau or the forest fire brigade," I said helplessly, "secondly, this shame is really embarrassing, Wang Pearl will not want this matter to make a fuss, otherwise it will appear that she is incompetent in management and becomes a business scandal, so it is best to solve it herself." ”

"Then let's follow them into the mountains to find someone first?" Ke Hui looked at me. "Well," I nodded, "we don't have any information about the tomb of King Xian right now, and the 'Blind Chen' we met didn't give us a human skin map like the original book. And all three of us are northerners, this tropical jungle is not a joke, it is best to mix with professionals first and familiarize yourself with the environment. ”

The tent that Wang Pearl arranged for us was not large, but there was still room for the three of them to turn over when they lay side by side. At five o'clock the next day, I woke up Kehui, kicked Liu Weixian, finished washing, and followed Wang Zhuzhu's people to have breakfast and then marched into Shalong Mountain.

There are a total of 9 people in our line, and Chairman Wang personally pressed the formation. In her words, the team in front of her is missing, and she is very anxious and must follow the team. My interpretation is that the leader does not express his position when this happens, and his subordinates will not work hard.

As the chairman's follower, Secretary Li also has to follow. It's just that as a young man, his physical strength is not even comparable to Wang Pearl, who is more than half a hundred years old, and he is already out of breath after less than an hour of trekking in the jungle.

The team also brought a sixteen-year-old Bai girl to be a guide, named Lin Er. She is quite shy, she blushes when she communicates with people, and when she is in a hurry, she rushes into white language, or white language with a Dali accent. I was very puzzled how to bring such a guide who couldn't communicate, and after getting along for a long time, I learned that it was her brother who was supposed to be the guide, but her brother unfortunately disappeared with the first team, and Wang Mingzhu could only temporarily pull his sister on and act as a trainee guide.

Lin Er's brother is three years older than her, is in college, and goes home to lead a group tour part-time during the summer vacation. I thought that this time I met a big money owner, but now I may have taken it in. Lin Er was anxious and scared along the way, and the level of leading the way was worrying, just talking about the situation of going around in circles in the jungle, I found it three times alone.

The remaining three people are the role of thugs, one is Wang Pearl's personal bodyguard, Hu Kun, a tower-like Northeast man, taciturn. The other two were local militiamen found by Wang Zhutuo, and they also provided firearms. The two militiamen looked like ruffians. Their other comrades-in-arms were also in the first team, and it was reasonable for Wang Pearl to double their salaries and drive them to set off with us.

Although the first team set off a week ahead of us, their route was planned to go around the foot of the mountain and we didn't need to follow their footsteps, just go straight to the area where they lost contact, so it didn't take that long. Before departure, according to Lin Er's estimate, he could arrive in two days at most.

But the jungle has taught everyone a lesson. After a day of trekking, we didn't even make it to half of the planned route. The three of us trialists were all tossed and couldn't do it, not to mention Wang Pearl and Secretary Li, who was even worse than her. The humidity and heat in the tropical jungle made people desperate, and I couldn't imagine that my physique was four times more than ordinary people, and I was suffocated with prickly heat.

It was night, and the morale was quite low, but fortunately, Hu Kun and the two militiamen were quite reliable, and the picnic kung fu was acceptable, otherwise in this depressing jungle, I really wanted people to pick on them. We hadn't gone far this day, and the area wasn't too far from human habitation, so we didn't have to worry about the eyeless beasts roaming the neighborhood.

However, Wang Pearl still asked Hu Kun and the three of them to take turns to keep vigil. Although this woman is a little superstitious, she is not stupid, we are not mixed with weapons, the two militiamen each carry a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, and Hu Kun has a Type 54 military pistol around his waist. These weapons are all products of the last century, and it is estimated that the self-defense counterattack will be eliminated before the arrival of the war. To be honest, I wouldn't dare to use these guns even if they were given to me, for fear of breaking my own skull.
