Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Mission Begins

The convoy was driving slowly on the official road, and in the last carriage, the three members of the ninth squad were looking out of the window from time to time to observe the surrounding situation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At first, because it was the first time to carry out the mission, it was a little new. But as time went on, I became more and more bored and irritable.

"Oops! ~ Mr. Storm is so hateful, let's keep watch here, he himself went to sleep lazily. "Inoue has the worst patience, so naturally he couldn't bear it at the earliest and complained.

Annoyed by his noise, Xiriyu sighed helplessly and said, "Can you not be so noisy, can't you observe with peace of mind?" ”

"But, it's really boring, it's better to give two groups of bandits and let me beat them up, so that they can know how powerful Uncle Ben is."

The two of them were bickering, while Wang Xiu was leaning against the window, his face facing the window at all times.

Xiriyu glanced at Wang Xiu with admiration and said, "Look at Xiu, just do your own work, observe the situation carefully, and don't even say a word." ”

Inoue nodded his head, and was also a little impressed by Wang Xiu's patience, and asked, "Wang Xiu, have you found anything after watching it for a long time?" ”

Wang Xiu was silent.

"Why don't you speak? Didn't you fall asleep? Inoue frowned and wondered.

Sunset Jade snorted lightly: "Hmph! Xiucai won't fall asleep, you think he's the same as you. He must have been too attentive to hear it. ”

With that, she picked up the water bag from the side.

"Xiu, I've been thirsty for a long time, drink saliva and rest."

Wang Xiu was silent, and Xiriyu turned his head to look at him suspiciously.

I saw that Wang Xian was holding his head with one hand, his eyes were closed, and a wisp of saliva was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he was already snoring.

Uh, really asleep。。。。。 It's embarrassing! ~

There was nothing wrong all the way, and it was just like this until the evening, and the convoy slowly stopped.

There is an unwritten rule for foot-walking merchants, that is, they travel thousands of miles during the day and do not walk for half a minute at night.

This is, of course, an exaggeration, and no matter how fast the caravan runs, it will not be able to travel thousands of miles in a day. It's true that you don't go for half a minute at night, but your vision is not good at night, and it's easy to be ambushed by bandits, which is very dangerous.

So when the sky began to darken and the sun was about to set, the caravans would find a place with a wide view and stop and set camp.

Naturally, they won't break the rules, even if they get up early and hurry as soon as dawn arrives, they won't risk catching up with the time when it's dark.

After a long day of hard work, everyone was finally able to stand on the ground for a while. One by one, they all got out of the car, and the feeling of stepping on the ground made people feel very steady.

Indeed, they were all caravans that had traveled to and from various countries all year round, and they were full of experience, and they had already divided their work without orders. Some went to pitch tents, some went to fetch water, and some went to make fires and cook.

It didn't take long for the curling smoke to waft from the tip of the nose, making the hungry mouths relish.

The meals of the caravan are not very delicious, after all, in order to prevent corrosion, most of them are air-dried bacon, as well as special pickles and the like.

However, this is already very good, and to have a dinner like this in the middle of nowhere, there is something called happiness that floats up.

It's also a bonus for escorting caravans, at least having a hot meal and a sheltered place to sleep. Unlike many espionage missions, because of the danger of the mission, etc., it is often difficult to eat dry food, sleep in the wild, and sleep in the open.

In order to prevent the robbers from following the firelight, they used sand to extinguish the flames when they cooked the rice, which had the advantage of not producing a lot of white smoke.

Within a radius of ten meters around the convoy, a large amount of peculiar powder was also sprinkled, which, although it smelled a little, could prevent snakes, insects, rats, ants, and wild beasts from interfering.

These are the experiences left by the older generation for many years, and although they are simple, they are all very useful.

When people are full, they tend to fall asleep, especially when they are tired of traveling.

Having just eaten, everyone except for the two who remained vigil went into the tent to rest.

And as hired ninjas, a few people naturally can't just sleep like this. After a little discussion, it was finally decided that Wang Xiushou would be on the first shift, and three hours later he would be replaced by Inoue Turbidity, and then Sunset Jade.

Originally, they also included the moonlight blast, but the other party took it for granted that it was a grinding for them.

The night is getting deeper.

The sky is as clear as water, and the moon is sparse, bringing a soft light to the night.

The air here is very good, not at all full of car exhaust fumes like in the 21st century, and even the sky is gray.

Because of the backwardness of science and technology, there is no such thing as a car in this world, and there is no large number of factories that produce all kinds of exhaust gases. For the world, the only source of pollution is probably biogas produced by various animal manures.

Because he slept for a day, Wang Xiu's spirit was still good, and he sat on the roof of the carriage and watched Siye quietly.

During the day he doesn't sleep because he's lazy, but because he's refreshing.

He didn't think there would be much danger during the day, after all, there were so many people that it would be easy to spot even if someone was in ambush. And at night everyone is tired, and even if there are two people left on the vigil, they will relax because they are tired.

was just looking at it casually, but it was suddenly shaken by a bright light.

It was only a fleeting moment, but he noticed it. It's not like a natural light, but a reflection that resembles a smooth surface. And in this wilderness, there has been no rain recently, and there can be no stagnant water or anything like that, so there is only one possibility.

Reflection of the metal knife surface!

He still remembered the sword light of the moonlight and wind during the special training last night, which was cold and sharp.

He couldn't forget this feeling, and he lifted his spirits in his heart, quietly entered an unmanned car, and separated a shadow clone to sit on the roof for him instead of him.

And he himself turned into a wild dog and quietly touched it.

In the gloomy forest, a group of men and horses has been in ambush for a long time.

Judging from the way they dressed, they should be ordinary reckless bandits, all of them have a very fierce aura, and they are not good people at first glance.

Among the crowd, there was a bald man with a height of more than two meters, sitting in the middle like the stars holding the moon, and he was the leader at first glance.

The others also gathered in groups of three or five, observing the situation of the convoy.

From time to time, a small man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek ran back and whispered something in the big man's ear.

The bald man nodded and asked, "Are you sure there are only four of them?" A tuberculosis ghost and three small children? ”

The spy nodded and said, "That's right, they don't look like ninjas, it is estimated that the caravan pretended to be itself in order to scare away the timid bandits." ”

"Well, greet the brothers, get ready to do it."
