Chapter 0246 - Bite the Tail

After watching the actual operation of the Snow Wolf Squad, everyone understood that it is not that with white clothes and white pants, with a cape, you can hide your body in the snow, and you have to pay attention to the details.

In fact, this method is not a high-tech method, in fact, it is learned by animals.

Whether it is a wild boar or a bear blind, in the snow or in the mountains and forests in summer and autumn, after being seriously injured, they will make this action, suddenly jump into the line of travel in the escape, jump five or six meters and ten meters, and then quietly turn back, hide on the edge of the previous route, and give the pursuers a fatal blow.

Often, some wild boars are ambushed in front of experienced hunters, but because the hunters have been smoking leisurely in the distance for an hour, the guide has lost too much blood, and finally failed to wait for the enemy to burst out, and died in the hiding place.

As for the minor injuries, the hunter will judge according to the bloodstains he sees, and the lightly injured prey will desperately flee, instead of choosing to die with the enemy, kill the enemy, and hang up himself, so the hunter will chase after it until the prey finds that the body is not good, and it is too late to set up an ambush and be killed or paralyzed in front.

Everyone was taught a lesson, of course, the training was also doubled, the original weight, after a simple diet of compressed biscuits and baking some snow water, a group of people put on skis again, specially picked up the thick snow places, and moved forward in the breeze where the temperature was getting lower and lower.

The walk lasted an afternoon, and at first it was a quick descent of jogging, and then, it was simply a trek, until it was nearly dark, and the team returned exhausted, descending the steep hill with a rope and returning to Diqiangzi.

At night, Xue Lang didn't toss these rookies, because he knew that the temperature would drop sharply after the snow stopped, especially in the afternoon, when the wind started, which showed that the arrival of a cold cyclone was not necessarily a cold snap, nor would it be a smoke cannon, but just the beginning of a big cooling. In this way, Xuanxue will become porcelain after a night of cold wind, and tomorrow, you can build a snow kiln and leave the Hadron.

Sure enough, after dawn, the snow on the ground became hard, and although the wind was not strong, only three or four degrees, it was unusually cold, and the temperature plummeted by five degrees, close to minus twenty-five degrees.

At this point, the real cold winter begins.

As soon as the morning dawned, Xue Lang left the camp with the rookies who had already put on real winter clothes and pants, and rushed to the pit not far away, where the snow had been drifted by the breeze more than a meter thick, which happened to be a return wind bend, and the snow here would exceed two meters every year.

Recruits and veterans will really experience the snow game that they didn't have the opportunity to experience when they were children.

Xue Lang personally demonstrated, using a stick to cut into a wooden sword, slowly cutting out snow bricks forty long and thirty wide in the snow, and carefully placed on the snow shell on the side.

Everyone did the same, and in less than a point, the first layer of hard snow shells around it was all cut into snow bricks.

After a little bit of wind blowing, the snow bricks that were still a little loose became hard.

At this time, Xue Lang began the construction of the snow kiln, a piece of snow bricks, using loose snow particles as mortar, to build a round steamed bun-shaped snow kiln. In less than an hour, three people set up a snow kiln enough for ten people to live, and left smoke exhaust holes at the top, and built a windshield wall at the leeward side, leaving a small portal that could drill into people.

Xue Lang personally commanded, Zhang Ming and a team member could not make mistakes at all, if it wasn't for a considerable amount of snow bricks, it was estimated that the three of them would not need a single point to complete.

But when everyone started it, it was not like that, either the snow bricks were broken, or the vaulted dome collapsed before it could be closed, and as a last resort, the snow inside was cleared, and the foundation was still there, and it was restarted, so that a group of elites had a lot of fun.

It was not until the afternoon that the snow had been cut off the second layer and all the snow kilns were built.

Everyone went into the snow kiln that had been covered with branches and hay, roasted their soaked gloves and shoes, and looked at the firewood lit in the middle.

Smoke does not remain in the snow kiln at all, even if the door is blocked by snow bricks, and then hung with a blanket, it is not permeable to the wind at all, and the smoke also rises straight to the smoke exhaust vent at the top, which is not choking at all.

As the flame burned, the temperature in the snow kiln gradually increased, and although I sat on the hay, although my back was still cold, I could feel the warmth on the front.

At this moment, everyone understood that in the snow, this snow kiln was warmer than a tent. In order to be easy to carry, the tents are all single-layered, but they only block the wind but not the cold. The snow kiln has both. Plus you can make a fire, and it's not comparable to a tent.

After more than half an hour, the gloves and shoes were dry, and Xue Lang blasted the warmed rookies out of the snow kiln when the temperature plummeted after the sun had set over the treetops, and took them on their first trip to find water under the snow in the dim mountain forest.

There is only a small stream, but even so, it is still difficult to find it at a distance of several kilometers, because although the stream is still flowing, it is under the ice and snow, and you can't see it at all.

Xue Lang did not explain how to identify the knowledge of possible mountain springs and streams, because these had already been explained. As long as you actually confirm it, and if you can't find it, then in the next training, they will spend a long time because there is no water and only melt the snow.

It's not impossible to melt snow water, but it will absorb a lot of temperature, not to mention, the process is quite slow, and it will delay time, so water is still needed.

Fortunately, survival in the wild, these former elites have not experienced it, and some have grown up in the mountains and forests, so from the trend of plants and mountains, that is, the landform, it can still be seen approximately; In addition, Xue Lang had already explained in detail that after they dispersed about a kilometer away from the water source, all the teams still found the water source along the way.

This night, everyone was full of freshness, in the wind outside reached five or six levels, the wind was mixed with the snow particles that floated, in the temperature lower than the black wind outside the five or six degrees of cold, had an unforgettable night, that is, lived in a house made of snow, took off the cotton clothes, took turns to watch the fire, and slept comfortably for a night.

Of course, Xue Lang didn't have any hurry, this was something left over from his childhood, he left the snow kiln after everyone rested, rushed to Diqiangzi, and entered the headquarters there.

Only here can you connect to the Internet or radio to the outside world, and there is no signal on your mobile phone.

He inquired about Xue Feng and learned that the jade carving factory was a qiēshun lì, and the old people were confirming that these demobilized soldiers were indeed willing to learn, even if they were a little stupid, they still spared no effort to teach.

In ancient times, their apprentices did not have the frame of masters, and actively shared the pressure for the masters, and taught as many basic knowledge as possible, so as to avoid the old people's workload being too large, or in other words, delaying the teaching of experience.

The demobilized soldiers with basic knowledge of geology led by Xie Lao are the same, professors who spare no effort.

Xue Lang knew that this might be due to the fact that the old people saw that the demobilization order was forbidden, there was not much nonsense, and there was only no problem with the target. The apprentices of the professor are estimated to be more or less cautious, but the demobilized soldiers are not, and they are still used to receiving orders.

This is also the reason why the longer they have been in the army, the more difficult it is to adapt to society, they are used to it.

Hanging up the phone, Xue Lang called Loach, that is, Yu Lei, and asked him to protect all the people involved in the Jade Carving Factory, including their disciples, and mobilize most of the security guards to protect them closely.

He still can't rest assured, he still can't let go of the fact that Lingnan jade carving is not the goal. Moreover, Xue Feng's identity is a mystery, the hidden enemy must still be there, and the Grim Reaper organization may not be really cleared, so he has to be on guard.

Then he asked Xia Ziyi about the operation of the rice factory. Although he is not worried, a boss who does not ask for a long time will make his subordinates feel insecure.

The rice factory really doesn't have to worry about it, Xia Ziyi has mature experience in the operation of the rice industry, and Qingyuan rice is really good, and the re-purchase rate of the market is very large, so it is not difficult to operate.

After a circle, I made phone calls for more than two hours, including Bai Xiaogui's fund operation, and even Cui Ying was not left behind, and they all called to inquire about the latest situation. Although both of them had team members who returned to the factory as security guards to protect them, Xue Lang still couldn't completely put his mind at ease.

This Grim Reaper organization has always been stuck in the throat, and if he doesn't solve the mystery of Xue Feng's identity and find the last remnant, Xue Lang's nerves won't be able to relax for a day.

He believed that the remnants must be left zài.

After learning about the situation outside, Xue Lang returned to Xueyao to compile a training outline and prepare for future training.

He is very stable here, step by step, and Cheng Weiguo, who was transferred to the mission, has also made a breakthrough.

Cheng Weiguo arrived at the border in only four hours, not because of how fast they ran, but because they got out of the mountains and rushed directly to their destination by helicopter.

As soon as Cheng Weiguo arrived at the headquarters there, after understanding the situation, he said Xue Lang's judgment that the other party was not going to the sky and the earth, but walking on a tree and covering his whereabouts.

This statement was immediately taken seriously by the command, and the soldiers of the four groups of special forces and two companies once again launched a search for the area where the target was found, and expanded the scope of the search.

Sure enough, this investigation found that there were indeed traces of people walking on the trees, and those snow-stained footprints left on the arm-thick branches showed that the other party was indeed walking on the trees.

Now, in less than an hour, he bit the direction of the other party's escape, and then found a trace of using the gap in the mountain rock to make a fire and rest.

Looking at the surrounding situation, the other party only stayed for one night, and cleaned it very carefully, but Cheng Weiguo and they still found a clue, that is, the food that the other party ate was actually listed. The slightly sour bread crumbs, Cheng Weiguo will not be mistaken, it is definitely not that the bread is expired, but that it tastes like this, and does not add leavening agents and other things, and uses hop yeast to ferment bread.

This discovery, combined with the fact that the explosives previously found to be made of meters, suggest that this is not a person in the territory, but it is unknown why it came from.

As the hiding place was discovered, the direction of the search was also found, and the trace of the other party's departure was found.

Even if the other party chooses bare rocks or dead leaves and tree roots without snow as a foothold, so that there are no traces to follow for hundreds of meters, they still have to step on the snow to leave traces after all.

Finding the trace, Cheng Weiguo took four teams of special forces, followed by the soldiers, bit the traces in the snow, and launched a pursuit.
