"Go this way!"

Ye Feng packed his bags and stepped onto the Great Wall.

Standing on the top of the Great Wall, the view is very wide, and the surrounding scenery is in full view. In the distance, the Wangtian tree stands in the canyon in the shape of an umbrella, and the nearby wild sour jujube trees pop out of the cracks in the rocks, and the yellow and white wild chrysanthemums are clustered in the wind, like a speckled fancy blanket covering the surface.

The different walls vary in color, and the exterior walls in the shady areas are close to dark green, and they are covered with a lot of bryophytes. The south-facing wall has been affected by the grace of many years, and some of it is whitish and damaged.

Outside the Great Wall, you can see the entire outline of the Great Wall at a glance, like a winding dragon lying on the mountainside. When you climb the Great Wall, you can see the scenery in more detail, as if the scale of the map has been enlarged, and the line of sight is constantly shrinking inward. In the ancient poem, it is mentioned that "I don't know the true face of Lushan, and I am in this mountain by chance." "That's what it should be.

As the high walls on both sides rise from the ground, watchtowers emerge from below the horizon, and this absurd and bizarre illusion creates an unprecedented sense of fear in the heart.

The mustache looked around as if looking at a novelty, and sometimes he couldn't keep up with Ye Feng's footsteps, shouting behind him, panting and running over.

The mustache said, "Why is this place so quiet, where are the other competitors?" ”

There were 1,000 people who participated in the military and police selection competition, and these people set out one after another in the order of priority. According to common sense, there will always be a few people who have fallen behind on the way, but the current situation shows that the Great Wall is empty. The person who left first may have left them far behind, or they may have encountered an unexpected situation.

After walking for more than four hours, there were no ambushers on the road.

Ye Feng rested in a watchtower, took out water and dried bread slices from his backpack and hurried to replenish his physical strength.

The mustache climbed restlessly up to the watchtower, looked around, and howled loudly in the voice of an ape.

There was no firewood on the Great Wall that could be used to make a fire, so when it got dark, you had to stay where you were and no longer walk around.

Ye Feng took protective measures on the door openings on the east and west sides - using a very thin line to hang horizontally at a height of about a foot on the ground in the bureau, and hung the metal objects, keys, watches and other things he carried with him on the long suspended line. If someone breaks into their camp, they will be discovered.

Since I was traveling light, I didn't carry a sleeping bag in my backpack. Ye Feng could only take off his coat and cover his body in turn, using his backpack as a pillow to cushion under his neck.

The brick-paved floor was colder than marble, and the cold air coming out of the ground was constantly encroaching on their bodies.

The mustache sat up, scratched his neck, and asked, "Team Ye, I have lice jumping around on my body." ”

"Sleep, mine too."

"I hate lice."

"You should find deodorant to kill them."

"I'm reminded of that fairy tale of fleas and performers, maybe we should also make a big balloon to fly to the destination." After the mustache finished speaking, he grinned and showed his snow-white teeth. After laughing for a while, you lowered your head and said, "Actually, it's not funny at all, is it?" ”

Ye Feng turned sideways and said, "You're so long-winded, I'll sleep first." Wake me up at dawn. ”

Suddenly, a heart-rending scream resounded through the sky.

Ye Feng's first reaction was to sit up and grab the gun belt with his right hand.

"What was the sound just now?" The mustache asked.

"Maybe someone has fallen off the walls, I'm going to look for the supplies they left behind."

The mustache muttered, "How can the captain be like this!" ”

Ye Feng put the gun around his neck, tried a miniature flashlight, stepped over the security line, and strode out of the watchtower.

The white light of the flashlight can only be found in a short range, and the sound just now is still at least two hundred meters away, maybe even farther away, and the terrain on the mountain is complicated, so it is difficult to make an accurate judgment of the sound heard.

After walking for a minute, still nothing was noticed. Ye Feng was worried that he would get lost if he went on, so he returned along the same path.

The mustache was guarding the watchtower, and when he heard footsteps coming over, he picked up the gun in his hand and asked loudly, "Stop!" Quote your name. ”

Ye Feng shook the flashlight in his hand, shone it on the mustache's face, and said, "Report your size, don't you even know your captain?" ”

The mustache grabbed his head and said with a smile: "Team Ye, after you left, I saw a figure lying on the city wall. But when I shone the infrared light from the gun, the figure swished and disappeared. I thought the shadow was back? ”

"Well, I didn't find any supplies they left behind."

"Look at the way you look empty-handed, I know."

The distance chosen for the race is a relatively desolate area, not in the open tourist attraction, and it is unlikely to meet tourists. And in general, at night on the Great Wall do not allow tourists to linger.

Ye Feng knew the environment of the arena very well, and he said this just to relax the tense nerves of the mustache.

"The more dangerous we are, the closer we are to our destination. Suddenly we didn't want to rest, so we continued on our way. ”

Pack up your things and head to your destination before dawn.

Successively passed through several watchtowers, and there were traces of people staying in them. There were scraps of food on the floor, and there were freshly cut scratches from knives on the walls.

The special elites are professionally trained, and there is no visible remnant in the places where they have stayed. Food bags and bottles of mineral water, like those are stored away and buried before leaving.

Only those who are thoughtful and observant can find very small clues, so these subtle traces can't escape Ye Feng's eyes.

Another watchtower was overturned, and the terrain was abruptly reversed, sloping downward at 45 degrees.

Walking along the steps, the contestants who were injured and fell to the ground gradually appeared on the wall.

At this time, the Big Dipper disappeared, orange-red clouds appeared in the sky, and the Great Wall revealed its original brick blue color again.

The man who was wounded and fell to the ground was a member of the Nanjing Military Region. Ye Feng had seen that person appear next to Han Delei before. Originally, I thought that the people of the Nanjing Military Region would take the mountain road to avoid the ambushers on the road, but I didn't expect them to disperse on the way.

"That guy is injured, you go and grab his bag." Ye Feng said.

The mustache opened his mouth wide and asked, "Boss, we are not robbers, we can't rob other people's backpacks halfway?" ”

"You are stupid, that person is our nemesis from the Nanjing Military Region, if you snatch his bag, he will not be able to reach his destination."

"The captain is so smart, why should I go?"

"You come to be the captain, and I will listen to you."

The mustache pouted and said, "Just go, what's the big deal." ”

The mustache walked up to him only to find that the man had been shot, his mouth was dry, and he whispered to drink water.

The mustache looked through the man's bag, which had run out of supplies. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he simply took out the kettle from his bag and handed it over.

The injured man immediately picked up the kettle and drank it in a big gulp.

"Did you encounter an ambusher on the road?"

"Well, the ambusher crawled in from outside the walls and shot me, hitting me in the arm."

The fibers of the clothes on the shoulders of the middle-aged man were already scorched. Even though he wrapped the strip of cloth around the wounded area, the bleeding did not completely stop and poured down the sleeve of his clothes.

The selection competition was conducted with empty cartridges, and each contestant was equipped with a bulletproof vest. But during long journeys, it's easy to sweat in a bulletproof vest. So some people don't wear it at all.

The injured man who fell to the ground did not wear a bulletproof vest as required, but fortunately he did not injure the major arteries, otherwise his life would be in danger.

"That's weird, how could an empty cartridge hurt you?"

"The brutes were using steel-hulled bullets filled with gunpowder, and just by listening to the sound you could be sure of that."

As one of the special forces in the Nanjing military flag, he knows the firearms well, and he can tell whether it is an empty bullet or a real bullet from the trajectory and sound of the bullet's flight.

The mustache seemed to think of something extremely terrible, and "Quack" screamed and said, "It is completely inconsistent with the rules of the competition, the chief told us that the ambushers and the contestants are using empty cartridges, are they trying to kill us quickly?" ”

"Whether you were bitten by a brute or shot by a gun, we were not assigned live ammunition." Ye Feng pushed his mustache aside and lifted the middle-aged man's arm.

The middle-aged man screamed in pain, and angry flames erupted from his eyes, "Take your hand, you hurt me." ”

"Mustache, let's go, leave him alone."

"But, Captain?"

The middle-aged man sat up and continued: "After being shot, I was so frightened that I ran irrationally in the Great Wall, and then fell to this place and couldn't crawl. ”

Ye Feng went to check the middle-aged man's firearm without his consent.

The middle-aged man threw himself forward and said in a panic, "Don't think about anything that forces me." ”

Ye Feng disassembled the wounded special forces' gun, withdrew the bullet from the magazine, and groped for the bullet casing with his hand. The bullets in the magazine are empty packs that meet the requirements.

After returning the weapon, Ye Feng said again: "Mustache, see if the flare in his bag is still there?" ”

"I just checked and there are no flares in there."

The wounded man said, "Don't be nosy, I've fired a flare, and someone will find you soon." The elites of the Yanjing Sword Brigade, it's not that I look down on you, it's really impossible for you to get the military flag. ”

The mustache rolled his eyes, retrieved the kettle from the wounded man, and wiped the mouth of the bottle clean with his sleeve.

"Are the special forces of the Nanjing Military Region so self-righteous, their kindness is not rewarded, I really shouldn't have given you water to drink just now."

The fact that someone was shot on the road reminded Ye Feng that the ambushers were playing with real guns. They are like deer scattered and fleeing, and if they are not careful, they may be eaten by the big bad wolf.

The mustache sighed vigorously, looking preoccupied.

"Captain, did you say what that man said just now is true?"

"What's true?"

"It's the thing about being shot."

Ye Feng thought of the fire in the camp. I took out the cardboard box in my pocket and looked at it again, and suddenly opened my mouth and said, "Someone mixed live ammunition with live ammunition in our weapons and tried to make us kill each other." ”

"Who would be so mean?" The mustache asked.

"Check your weapon." Ye Feng said this and opened his magazine by the way.
