Chapter 44: Winter is Coming
Mongolia. It is thirty kilometers away from the city of Gantu
A yurt stood alone on the grassland, a few wisps of green smoke drifted out of the chimney, and was soon blown away by the wind, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child came out with a bucket of hot water, poured into a sink next to it, and glanced at a figure on the western horizon, a middle-aged man driving hundreds of shepherds was slowly walking here, the child put down the bucket and happily greeted him
"Abba, I'll help you catch up, you can go in and rest. www.biquge.info He took the whip from the shepherd's hand, and from time to time shouted in his mouth to drive the sheep, the shepherd wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked back at the sunset with palpitations, gritted his teeth and cursed secretly
"Abba, what's wrong?"
"Azhuo, drive the sheep in, and when I come back, I will say something important." The shepherd said and quickened his pace back to the yurt, the child named Azhuo scratched his head, feeling that his father seemed a little strange today, but he still did not delay and quickly put the shepherd into the sheepfold, back to the yurt, the shepherd sat by the fire at this time, took out a bottle of sweet wine and poured it into a wine cup next to the stove, waited for a while before picking it up and drinking it all, for a while, the shepherd smashed it and smashed his mouth, sighed roughly, and said: "Don't go to the pasture in the west in the future, go to the north tomorrow to find a pasture to settle down again, I can't stay here any longer, Zhuo, and I'll be packing up with your grandma tomorrow to get ready to move. ”
"Old Mo, why do you want to move away, isn't it good here?" His wife asked, "Are they coming here again?"
"It's not Zato... It's something else..."The shepherd Lao Mo took out a dry tobacco, stuffed it with a piece of coal, lit it with a tong, and began to smoke it
"Something else? What is it, Abba? ”
"Don't ask too much children, go to bed early, and you'll be busy tomorrow!" Lao Mo sent him away in a few words, he sat by the stove and sighed and smoked, Ah Zhuo looked at his father's back, his heart was very uncomfortable, lying in the quilt and soon sleepiness hit, just when he was groggy, some strange sounds sounded in his ears, he opened his eyes and followed the reputation, only to see his father take out a double-barreled shotgun, which was constantly wiped with a yellow torn felt cloth, fifty or sixty rounds of lead bullets whose shells had faded due to moisture were scattered on the ground, what was my father going to do?
...
"Tukas... Tucas... Tukas! ”
The strange sound that sounded in his ears from time to time tormented Ah Zhuo, he opened his eyes in exclamation, his forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat, Ah Zhuo reached out and wiped it with his cuffs, and got up from the ground in shock, only then did he find that his father and mother were not there, and the thick curtain of the yurt was also lifted, but he did not feel how cold it was outside, but the heat made him unbearable, the heat wave blew in from the outside from time to time, the hot wind blew on his face, Ah Zhuo had to take off his coat, revealing his shirt soaked with sweat, and his long hair also fell naturally, Ah Zhuo is actually a girl
"Abba! Grandma! Ah Zhuo rushed out of the door, horrified to find that the entire grassland had been ignited, hundreds of shepherds had become hundreds of charred corpses, the entire grassland except for the yurt more than 100 meters of grassland had not been ignited, the rest of the place had become scorched earth, several wooden forks and sticks were thrown there, it seemed that the father and mother had deliberately set fire to the turf around the house in order to avoid the fire, so that it could burn a safe open space to avoid the fire, but what about the father and mother? Where did they go
"Tukas~~" Suddenly, there was a chilling roar from behind the grassy knoll in the west, and then a gunshot interrupted the roar, Ah Zhuo immediately heard the sound of his father's shotgun, presumably his father and mother should be there, Ah Zhuo ran without thinking about it, the panic and uneasiness in her heart made her dare not have any more delay, what did that roar come from? What is my father shooting again? All kinds of doubts were understood after she came to the hill: a giant monster dragon with a length of dozens of meters, wings as long as the wings of a bomber, and maroon scales all over its body was holding the upper half of the old shepherd's body and did not let go, the old shepherd's hand holding the shotgun had fallen to the ground, obviously helpless, and the mother who was burned alive held on to a charcoal iron fork and curled up on the ground, at this time the dragon raised its neck, swallowed the old shepherd all in its mouth, and chewed and swallowed it with a rattle, A pair of blood-red eyes were staring at Ah Zhuo, the eyes looked her up and down as if they could breathe fire, and a puff of green smoke erupted from the nostrils, which seemed to indicate that it was the initiator of this fire, and the evil dragon also stood up, raised his neck and yelled at her, Ah Zhuo came back to his senses, and was so frightened that he hurriedly ran in the direction of home, and the evil dragon also took steps to chase after him, Ah Zhuo ran for his life, hoping to get rid of it, and soon she saw the yurt, She used all her strength to run there, but she didn't notice that the dragon stood on the slope, suddenly swooped and spread its wings and flew over, tilted its head and opened its bloody mouth, and bit her waist, Ah Zhuo also happened to grab the door curtain at the moment, but she was its opponent there, this time and a pull, the powerful force made the dragon's sharp teeth cut through her skin without suspense, and with a muffled sound, she was bitten in two, and the evil dragon flew high into the air with her lower body in its mouth, After circling around this place twice, he left with an unwilling roar, leaving behind this small corpse to be ravaged by wild beasts...

"According to the latest war report of the Federation, the federal government has now signed a ten-day ceasefire agreement with the Shushan side, during which the governments of various countries will send representatives to Changling City to exchange territory and captured personnel of various countries with the Gelug Army side on the matter of the war.
207 walked in from the front carriage with a cup of hot water, Hailan Moyu tilted his head and fell asleep, he walked over lightly and slowly put the cup on the table
"I'm not asleep, so I don't have to be so quiet." Hailan Moyu opened his eyes and looked at him, and said in 207: "Drink some, it's changing outside, it is estimated that the wind will rise in a while, and the grassland can be cold!"
Hailan Moyu didn't speak, looked back at the endless prairie outside the window, at this moment the window began to crackle and raindrop, the outside began to be cloudy, and the wind blew more cheerfully, 207 sat opposite her and looked out the window, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "You are in such a hurry to come here, do you know the origin of that monster?"
"It's unkillable, I'm thinking of something else."
"Something else?" 207 then felt a violent tremor of the body, the speed of the car gradually slowed down, and several concrete piers flashed outside the window in a row, and the car arrived at the station
"Let's go." 207 took a slightly larger cloak and put it on her shoulder, and said softly: "When you get here, don't be reckless in everything, you don't have to worry about it with me."
"I believe you..."Hailan Moyu followed him and slowly walked out of the car, the railway guards of the Mongolian army were more than ten times more than usual, there was a brigade of soldiers and dozens of Russian-supported T80 tanks stationed in the station, used to prevent the sudden attack of the Shushan army, 207 was also glad that he didn't bring anyone else, otherwise it would be more difficult to get out of here, Hailan Moyu looked at the gloomy sky, his thoughts were inexplicably interrupted, and the memories of the past became vague at some point, No matter how hard she tried to recall those memories, she couldn't remember them, which didn't bode well...
"What's wrong?" 207 walked a few steps and found that she was not chasing, so he turned around and asked with concern
"It's nothing, let's go." 207 looked at her suspiciously, and left the platform one step ahead of herself, shook her head and chased after her
...
As the first vanguard of the expeditionary force, this squad is far away from the protection of the large army, and goes deep into the hinterland of Xinjiang alone, but never thought that it encountered extremely rare extreme weather here, the severe cold of minus 47 degrees Celsius made the car of this pedestrian break down, and had to take out a thick felt coat to wrap themselves and climb onto the only tank to huddle each other together to keep warm, The captain took out two bottles of vodka from the locker and handed them to them, and cursed: "This damn weather, why is it so cold, I didn't let us go to the Siberian plain, I heard that the coldest there has reached minus 87 degrees Celsius, it's really terrible..."
"Damn old Hoy!" A soldier scolded: "Why didn't this old guy let Team Seven come to scout and send us instead?" It's not that he doesn't know how much better that guys are better than us, what the hell, now we can only freeze..."As he spoke, he leaned into the back of the car and glanced at a 76.2mm PU43 field gun dragged behind the tank, and there was a pile of supplies and ammunition hanging on it, and he couldn't help but say: "Damn it, are you sure you tie this gun tightly?" I don't want it to run out of steam, but we've got all the food and ammunition for half a day! ”
"Don't worry, as long as this cannon doesn't fall apart suddenly, there won't be a problem..."
"Bang!" A huge explosion sounded from the left side of the tank, and then everyone was thrown out, the T90 drifted in place for half a circle and stopped, almost rolling over a soldier, everyone woke up, raised their guns and watched around, the commander of the tank also shook his head and crawled out of it, scolded and jumped to the ground to the left side of the tank, at this time everyone found that a crater with a diameter of about two meters was just pressed behind them, and the left track of the tank had been blown to pieces, The two load-bearing wheels were cracked by a hard explosion, which shows how powerful the explosion was at that time
"Damn, we seem to have run into a mine, we're in trouble..."The commander leaned over to the car with his big felt hat and looked at it carefully, "It's over, I guess it's going to change the wheels, damn it!" ”
"Can it be fixed?" The commander of the infantry detachment came over and asked
"yes, there's no iron guy I can't fix, take some time, take the two octagonal bolts and matching torque rods from my car, and let those two guys come down and help!"
"Huh~~" Suddenly, a low roar came from afar, and everyone present stopped their hands and looked there vigilantly, except for the white expanse of heavy snow, they couldn't see anything, and the commander of the infantry squad said in a deep voice: "Go to a few people, pull the artillery over."
"Whew~~Whew~~" As the sound over there got closer and closer to them, the commander of the squad picked up a cannonball and stuffed it into the barrel, the muscles on his face were constantly beating, he often heard adults talk about what was the easiest thing to encounter on this ice field when he was a child, he was murderous, came and went without a trace, killing people was as simple as finding things, he didn't want these things to be close to him, especially their bodies... Stench!
"Whew!" A huge white monster rushed through the wind and snow, and everyone opened fire at the same time, and the sound of gunfire spread throughout the no-man's land, and then a louder cannon fire ended it all, and everyone walked up to the bloody predator who had been blown up in the air with their guns in hand, and more roars of its own kind rang in their ears, and they were surrounded by this group of monsters...
"Retreat, quick, don't stand there alone in the defensive body!" The captain of the squad loaded the gun with two clicks, and aimed at the surrounding wind and snow against the tank, and the others also came over and did not dare to leave, and the commander of the tank also hurriedly climbed back into the car, hurriedly turned on the computer, and let the weapon system all go online, a high-explosive bomb was loaded and ready to blast out at any time, he stared at the monitor nervously, and muttered: "This damn day, damn orders, damn old Hoy... Damn it! Damn it! ”
...
"Stop!" Hu Shuo put on a cotton hat, picked up the binoculars and walked out of the car, he swayed in the cold wind, rubbed his hands vigorously, he raised the binoculars and pointed at a black shadow in front of him, and the army behind him also stopped
"Go to two people and see what it is, the snow is too big to see!" Hu Shuo leaned against the car door and took out a cigarette and lit it with great difficulty, and several soldiers who had gone to investigate came back after a while, came to him and said: "Commander, it is a Russian tank that no one wants, it seems to have been ambushed, there are blood stains around but no one has been found."
"Maozi?" Hu Shuo thought about it, they got here so soon? No, it's just a small force, which means they're pretty close to us now, but we don't control it, and if we are attacked at this distance, could it be a hint that there are other hostile forces here?
"Commander, are we going to move on now?"
"No, stationed on the spot, order the armored troops to surround the outside and let the soldiers stay inside, and the follow-up troops continue to move forward to join us, no matter what their origins are, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that they will be bold enough to come here and send them to death?"
