Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Piercing Telephone Rings
Updated: 2012-09-17
Xiaohou, 19 years old, from Linyi, Shandong, was a soldier last autumn, enlisted in the army for less than a year, and is still a new recruit who is gradually adapting to life in the barracks...... Asked, "Why?" ”
Sure enough, the words that Lao Ban sued him next were very cheap. "Stupid, don't you understand? On such a cold day, it doesn't matter if you pee outside and the water that spews out is frozen, what if it freezes with your chicks/chickens? There's an icicle between the chicken/chicken and the ground, so let's break him. Save your chicks/chickens? Haha......"
The words of the old class are still in my ears. This joke may have been exaggerated and funny before tonight, but Xiao Hou here and now is sure that if he takes out the guy now, what the squad leader said will definitely come true.
It's cold, it's so cold here. The biting cold is not enough to describe the low temperature of the night in the primeval forest. The low temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius is really not human. The gusts of cold wind in the night seemed to turn into countless small knives, mercilessly cutting the bare qiē outside.
The nose, face, hands and feet were numb and stiff from the cold, and he gradually lost consciousness. The eyebrows, eyelashes, the collar of the coat around the mouth, and the hat were all stained with a thick layer of hoarfrost.
The snow is thick, and you can lose your entire leg when you step on it. Every time you take a step forward, you have to consume part of your body. The creaking sound was endless.
In the dark forest, you can't see your fingers. It's not like walking in the world at all, but a deep and boundless dark vortex.
Only by the white light emitted by the flashlight can you tell the direction. The towering giant trees, which are extremely tall and cannot be embraced by adults, silently declare that this is their own occupied area, not a place that humans should set foot in.
Xiao Hou, who was at the front of the team, was completely frozen from the inside out, and his nerves and reactions seemed to be getting more and more sluggish. Mechanically walking. Slurred speech.
"Class, class...... Long, it's not a way to go on like this...... If we haven't found anyone yet, I'm afraid we won't be able to bear it first......"
"Squad leader...... Are the people we're looking for still alive ....... in this environment? You won't freeze to death long ago......"
"Ban...... Monitor...... Do you want to ask your superiors...... A different way of searching......"
Xiao Hou's lips trembled from the cold, he said seven or eight sentences intermittently, and he didn't see the squad leader speak, and he was stiff and just about to turn around, he felt a cold under his neck, not the cold brought by the low temperature to the skin, but the life-threatening cold brought by the sharp knife pressing the hair and skin.
At the same time, a strange and cold voice sounded in his ears: "I'm sorry, your squad leader and comrade-in-arms seem to be asleep, and I can't answer you." ”
The sudden unfamiliar voice and the life-threatening coldness of the bones brought by the sharp blade under his neck suddenly made Xiao Hou fall into an ice cellar.
Although he was a new soldier and not very old, only nineteen years old, after all, he was a formally trained soldier, and he immediately thought that some unknown change might have happened behind him. It is highly likely that the comrades in the squad are in danger.
Warning shots!
However, the reaction and experience of the person behind him were completely above Xiao Hou, and after a cruel ridicule, he decisively slashed the knife hard, and a fiery blood with an instantaneous temperature sprinkled on the young soldier's chest.
Released the finger that pulled the trigger, covered the severed throat with his hand, turned around with difficulty, raised the flashlight, and the residual consciousness before death, with the light of the flashlight, let Xiao Hou see the corpses of the four comrades who were crawling not far away. I also saw two middle-aged faces with a cruel smile, disdain, cruelty, and viciousness.
"Uh...... Belch...... Who are you...... You guys...... Be...... Who ......" Godless eyes stared ahead, a large amount of plasma foaming in his mouth. Without getting the answer he deserved, the stiff body of the Shandong warrior Xiaohou who lost his life threw himself forward and lay in the primeval forest forever.
Fifteen minutes later, the screeching telephone rang in the conference room of the military division.
Major Liu Ziqing, who was responsible for the task of searching for liaison between the front line and the rear, picked up the microphone with a stern face. After a few seconds of calling, his face changed dramatically on the spot.
