Section 99 The Storm (II)
On the afternoon of October 9, the storm officially descended on this uninhabited island.
The dark clouds obscured all the light, the torrential rain poured down, the wind made an eerie and terrifying roar through the dense woods, and the wind penetrated through the small cave, as if at any moment it was threatening to tear off the canvas that had been obscured outside.
Of course, there was a toppled ancient tree pressing on it, and the edge of the canvas was also pressed with a lot of heavy objects such as mud and stones, and it was not so easy to overturn it, but for the sake of insurance, Jiaming and the others still covered the entrance of the cave, and only opened a small gap when they watched the situation outside, and inspected it with a telescope. Under such a strong wind, the group of enemies on the other side of the island should not be brain-dead enough to run over and sneak attack, but who can guarantee that they will not really be brain-dead.
In the cave, guns and grenades were piled up, and the flashlights on the guns were removed and used as lighting one by one. The fat man named Fu Yanjie sat on the outside, occasionally observing the situation with a telescope, a little in the middle are the two brothers and sisters of the Dongfang family, Jiaming and Lingjing repaired a strange-looking radio in the innermost, which was originally part of the radio that was blown up on the ship, and was moved here before it was repaired, and now Jiaming dismantled a few walkie-talkies picked up from the dead body, pieced together the same parts, and also removed a submachine gun, Lingjing put half of the blanket on his body on Jiaming, sat next to him and said that it was a small worker, In fact, there is nothing to do, at most it is just to chat with him.
The relationship between the two is like a couple, and like two good partners who have no guesses, of course, the other three people have no idea of delving into it at this time, and now in such an environment, the only thing that can be celebrated may be the fact that they are still whole, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, sitting boredly, chatting and laughing occasionally, Dongfang Wan sometimes asked worriedly about Mr. Tulip who was still outside at the moment, Ling Jing smiled perfunctory words, and looked at Jiaming ambiguously, The fat man named Fu Yanjie likes to tell some bad jokes, often when others don't laugh, he already laughs non-stop.
Time passed in the chat and cold jokes that didn't have a match, and in the evening, it was already dark and night, Jiaming replaced the fat man and guarded the entrance of the cave, Lingjing wrapped the quilt and fell asleep in it, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful about the fact that there were three more outsiders in the cave, if only she and Jiaming, such weather could hug each other, how would it not be boring.
Soon after, Dongfang Wan on the side took out a raincoat from the side of the small cave and put it on her body, and then tied her waist with a rope. This was something that the five had agreed before, and if it was convenient for the storm to come, they had to go out like this, lest they be swept away by the water that was coming down from the mountain. Tie a beautiful bow on the rope around her waist, she put one end in her brother's hand, and when she went out, Jia Ming pointed to the knot on her waist and frowned: "Uh, that...... Are you tied up? β
"Of course it's tied." For the last competition, Dongfang Wan had a lot of resentment in her heart, and at this time she said lightly and walked out of the door. Outside the artificial small cave, it was dark and dark, and the flashlight shone on it, and the water rushed down from the mountain, and was split into two streams above the small cave, and in the low-lying zone not far below, the rain almost flowed into a turbulent river, and she was secretly surprised that she slowly descended along the small grassy slope that was not too sloping. When he was sure that Jiaming, who was at the door of the small cave, couldn't see him even if he peeped, he squatted down and took off his trousers.
On the other hand, holding the end of the long rope in his hand, Dongfang Lu sat next to Jiaming and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my little sister seems to have some prejudices against you." β
"yes, I know." Jia Ming shrugged, "It's because of the last martial arts competition." β
"Heh, that incident made her laugh many times among her sisters, but from my teacher, I think that your strategy was quite correct, but in terms of means...... Hehe......" The two sides smiled heartily, and Dongfang Lu asked, "Senior Brother Jiaming, you are very good at physics?" β
"Hehe, it's just an interest." Pointing to the radio, Jia Ming smiled, "When I was young, I liked to disassemble the radio." β
"If you're so interested in this, why do you want to study medicine?"
"Well, because ......" Remembering the original intention of this goal, Jiaming couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, "Because I used to have a friend who always liked to fight, and he was always injured......"
Dongfang Lu lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Is it the girl you like?" β
"Well, sort of, but ......"
For Jia Ming, there is no need to hide these things, after all, only by speaking falsely and truthfully can people be deceived, but before the words were finished, Dongfang Wan's exclamation was faintly heard in the wind and rain, and this end of the rope tightened suddenly, and then suddenly loosened. Dongfang Lu wanted to get up, but he was suddenly held down directly by Jia Ming, and after that, he rushed out with a flashlight: "You are injured, pull the rope!" β
In fact, as Jia Ming, he was not so nervous about Dongfang Wan, if it was really the rope that suddenly loosened, it didn't matter if Dongfang Lu went, but now there was a shout first and then the rope changed, indicating that Dongfang Wan must have been attacked first. Could it be that those guys are really brain-dead and came to sneak attack? As soon as he rushed out, he saw Dongfang Wan's flashlight fall on the small slope below, and the two figures rolled into the rain-soaked river in the low-lying area.
As soon as his eyes were cold, Jia Mingxu grabbed the rope and rushed down from above!
In fact, the attacker didn't come to attack him specifically.
It was a mercenary, in the battle last night, this man was shot twice, fainted on the spot, when Ruan Zongdang and others retreated to the other side of the island, they left him where he was, until the sky began to rain today, he woke up from a coma, trying to find a place to hide from the storm, but when the storm really came, a simple bunker that was originally hiding was washed away by the rain, and he himself was also full of pain, and the whole person was already in a daze. I don't know how long I struggled in the storm, and when I was dying, I noticed that there seemed to be a faint light on the side slope, so I struggled to climb up along the grassy slope.
In such a sea storm, the visibility was already poor, this mercenary climbed up slowly, Dongfang Wan didn't notice it at all, and not long after she took off her trousers, she suddenly stretched out a hand in front of her eyes, and she didn't catch the flashlight in her hand, but grabbed her pants. Dongfang Wan screamed in fright, and then her whole body lost balance. Since the rope around her waist was not very fast, she and the mercenary rolled down the grassy slope together.
In a burst of upside down, Dongfang Wan's legs kicked desperately, her forehead smashed on a stone, and she was dizzy for a while, and she felt that water was surging from all directions, pouring straight into her mouth and nose, and drank a few mouthfuls of water, in the darkness, the silhouette of the figure stood up in front of her, and she picked up a dagger in her hand as if she was about to stab herself, and another figure suddenly crossed in front of her.
The figures staggered, and she seemed to see the figure again, and the dagger pierced the opponent's throat in an instant, and the enemy fell. Her consciousness also fell into a blank for a moment.
The next day, Dongfang Wan looked at Jiaming's gaze, which looked a little weird.
The storm continued to roar outside the small cave, and in the dim cave with only a flashlight as the light, Dongfang Wan's body was covered with a blanket, her forehead was bandaged in an ugly Arab shape, and there was also a bandage on her right leg, and several small wooden planks were fixed on the ankle of her right foot that had been reset after dislocation, making her and Dongfang Lu the best interpretation of the idiom "difficult brothers and sisters" at this time.
Yesterday's accident was finally determined to be caused by a mercenary who was seriously injured, and after learning about Jiaming's heroic performance from her brother, Dongfang Wan's mood was a little complicated, but being rescued by a man who she had always thought was a coward was not the main reason, more because of some other trivial details.
For example, when she was rescued, her lower body was completely **, and for example, because the rope was not long enough, in order to enter the water to save her, Jiaming himself jumped into the rapids, and the two were washed out dozens of meters away, Jiaming found an opportunity to pull her ashore, and then struggled in the storm for more than 20 minutes, and the two finally returned to the cave with the help of others. Twenty minutes is basically enough time to have a baby.
The idea of breaking in the open in the middle of a roaring storm is a bit romantic. Of course, Dongfang Wan didn't think of Jiaming as such a perverted character, although because of the violent impact of the current, there was indeed some pain there...... What made her more concerned was the scene she saw before she fell unconscious - according to her brother, Jiaming only said that he pushed the seriously injured mercenary away, but his last glance was clearly to see Mr. Tulip's murder scene.
In the dark, she could only see the outline of a person clearly, but the impact of that glance on herself could not be dissipated even if she was unconscious, and she was also a person who knew some simple martial arts. Strength and speed, a perfect sword, and I can even see the tip of the knife piercing through the other side of the enemy's throat in an instant - is it my own hallucination? Or was he deliberately hiding his fear after the killing, or ...... Thinking of that possible surname, she felt that she might have broken her head and caused her brain to water. It's probably really my own hallucination, after all, since I woke up, the other party's behavior has always been normal, and it doesn't look like killing someone at all.
All day on the 10th, time passed in a monotonous storm, Dongfang Wan became a little cold because of the excessive rain yesterday, and her spirit was slightly better after taking the medicine, and she chatted with Lingjing without a match, but the topic unconsciously led to the direction of Jiaming, and roughly talked about some interesting things about Jiaming and her and Shasha since childhood, Dongfang Lu was also listening to it, and interjected a few words from time to time. Along the way to recall these interesting places, Ling Jing was in high spirits, occasionally looking at Jiaming, who was finally debugging the radio, thinking that we had gone through so many stories, every wisp, little by little, as long as I remembered it, I would feel happy.
That night, the radio was probably restored, and on the eleventh, the storm finally began to subside, Jiaming and Dongfang Road sorted out the guns in the small cave, and at noon, a red light on the radio suddenly turned on, and a set of internationally accepted Morse code signals came out of it.
"Here it is...... China...... East China Sea Fleet...... 104 Incident Special Search and Rescue Team ...... Got close to the island...... East longitude fork fork point fork fork, north latitude fork ......fork
At this time, the person who read this signal turned out to be the fat man who had been hiding next to him and didn't dare to touch the gun, and when he saw everyone's eyes looking over, he shrunk his neck: "Eh, that...... I'm more interested in electronic knowledge such as computers, and although I am not familiar with the hardware, I still know the Morse code...... Hehe......"
Jia Ming smiled faintly, hugged the radio, and began to send out messages from his side.
Although the storm has subsided, but on the seaside, there is still an amazing sound between the waves, five people holding a canvas as a tent came out of the woods, the sea breeze is cold, on the other side of the sea level, the dark clouds have been broken, and the light is sprinkled, symbolizing that the storm is about to move away. On the sea, five large and small ships broke through the waves and anchored in the nearby waters, followed by small landing ships.
"By the way, don't wait for that Mr. Tulip, is it really okay?" Looking back at the woods, Dongfang Lu asked. Jia Ming smiled faintly: "Anyway, we can't find him, there is a message left in the camp, plus the army will soon go to the island to search for those remaining mercenaries, such a big noise, he will definitely know." β
Dongfang Lu nodded: "Tell us what happened, and the army shouldn't embarrass him, I really want to see the true face of this gentleman." β
Jia Ming and Ling Jing nodded very hard, Dongfang Wan looked at Jia Ming's somewhat silly nodding appearance, and a look of disdain rose between her eyebrows, and she looked back at the woods.
While speaking, the first landing craft landed ashore, and the heavily armed soldiers jumped down under the leadership of Cui Guohua and others. This was followed by the second.
When the third landing craft landed, the figure of a girl in a raincoat who came down first was swept down by the rushing tide, and then, the figure rushed out of the sea and ran towards this side in the familiar posture of Jiaming and Lingjing. In an instant, Ling Jing's tears burst out of her eyes and rushed out towards the other party, her voice choked and spread far away in the sea breeze.
