Chapter 641: Standing Back
In addition to sighing, Cheng Zhichao couldn't help but secretly admire the crisis awareness of these people. You must know that this is not far from the national border, and you can reach the delivery location after walking for a few hours, and the specific location Cheng Zhichao is not very clear now, it may be this side of the national border, or it may be there.
If the situation here might be better, Wang Ruiguo has already done a good job. Cheng Zhichao knows very well in his heart that although the crackdown on drug trafficking here is also very strong, it may be due to combat effectiveness, in general, if there is any problem, everyone can still deal with it. However, if you encounter the Chinese army, if you don't prepare in advance, you will be wiped out.
Cheng Zhichao also took out his gun and checked it, his undercover identity is confidential, his current identity is a drug dealer, this delivery, and he did not tell Qu Yunting and Xu Chengjun, if someone is really ambushed, the comrades-in-arms on the opposite side do not know that he is his own person, and after he can't see that he is a small leader, maybe he will focus on greeting himself.
On the battlefield, the gun is his second life, and Cheng Zhichao definitely does not dare to take it lightly.
After everyone had checked their weapons and equipment, everyone set off again. This time, Aru, the leader of the group, was extra careful, and the speed of the march was much slower, but only relatively speaking, in the evening, the group was still not far from the destination. A qiΔ is normal, and I didn't meet anyone along the way.
Lao Cao let out a sigh of relief, and said to Cheng Zhichao with a smile: "It seems that we are quite smooth this time, after handing over the goods, we can sleep peacefully when we go back." β
Cheng Zhichao smiled: "How much money can Brother Guo make with this batch of goods?" β
"Don't worry, your share is indispensable." Lao Cao didn't answer Cheng Zhichao's question directly, but he only cared about how much he could share, and told Cheng Zhichao with a smile on his face. After delivering the goods this time, Cheng Zhichao's money was enough for him to be chic for two or three months.
In fact, Cheng Zhichao really doesn't care about this, he has long known that drug trafficking is a profiteering industry, but he doesn't have much concept of what kind of profiteering method is, this time he sent a lot of goods, if he can know how much Wang Ruiguo can earn. You can satisfy your curiosity in no time. But I don't know if Lao Cao doesn't know or doesn't want to sue him, this old fox didn't even have the slightest breath.
About a kilometer ahead, the trees in front of me are much sparser, although there are few trees, but the ground is full of weeds, more than half a person high. According to Lao Cao, the reason for this situation is that most of the trees were burned to death due to a lightning strike, and all that was left was weeds. But this did not last too long. The primeval jungle is full of rainfall and tree species, and it won't be long before this sparse area is occupied by trees again.
"After passing this area, we will not go far forward to the border, and the people who will receive the goods will be waiting for us there." Lao Cao had already communicated with Aru, and he had a clear grasp of the route of this journey, and at this time he was transformed. From Cheng Zhichao's translator to Cheng Zhichao's guide.
The destination was already in sight, and everyone's faces were full of joy. It's also a lot lighter on my feet. Drug trafficking is a high-risk job, and every time they go out to deliver goods, everyone pins their heads to the waistband of their trousers.
But the expression on Cheng Zhichao's face became more and more solemn, and he felt more and more uneasy in his heart. It was uncomfortable for him. And he himself knows very well in his heart that the appearance of this feeling is often a precursor to danger.
It's an instinct that has been cultivated over many years of training, like a wild beast, in times of danger. It also instinctively foresees danger, and although it does not know where the threat is, this instinct reminds it in the strongest way that there is danger.
Cheng Zhichao, who felt the danger coming, slowly slowed down, and finally simply stopped, subconsciously squatted down, and carefully observed the terrain in front of him.
Lao Cao had been with him all the time, and when he saw his appearance, he was very surprised: "Xiao Liu, what are you doing?" β
"Something is wrong, something is wrong." Cheng Zhichao didn't even look at him, frowned and said, "Let the team stop first, I feel that if we go further, there is a high chance that something will happen." β
Lao Cao also became nervous: "No, how do you know?" β
"Intuition, it's so calm." Cheng Zhichao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took out a gun and held it in his hand. The heavy metallic texture made him feel a little more at ease.
Lao Cao's face changed: "We are also very calm all the way." β
"Two different things."
While speaking, Lao Cao had already waved his hand to stop the whole team from advancing. Everyone felt a little incomprehensible, and Aru and several other team leaders came over and asked what the two of them had found.
Lao Cao told them Cheng Zhichao's intuition, and Alu and the others were nervous when they came to inquire about the situation, but when they heard that Cheng Zhichao was just an intuition, they all relaxed, and they looked disapproving.
Intuition is a very strange thing, some say it is the sixth sense in addition to the five senses. There are many legends about this kind of thing, but few of them have been developed by ordinary people. Especially Alu and the others didn't take Cheng Zhichao, a newcomer, too seriously, so that in this operation, many things were not discussed with him. At this time, I listened to him nervously like this just by relying on an invisible and intangible, and I looked down on him a little.
Cheng Zhichao ignored everyone's strange eyes, and asked Lao Cao with a stern face: "Is there any other alternative route?" β
Lao Cao shook his head: "No, Brother Guo only arranged this road." β
Cheng Zhichao pondered for a moment: "My Jianyi is to pick a few people who are better and smarter to explore the way to the front first, let's wait here for a while, if we confirm that there is no problem, let's move forward." β
Lao Cao glanced a few more times in the direction that Cheng Zhichao had just looked, only to see clumps of weeds mixed in the jungle, not to mention the source of danger, but he didn't even find anyone who could breathe. I couldn't help but hesitate a little: "If that's the case, it will definitely delay the delivery time." Aren't we a little too careful, in case of delays in delivery, Brother Guo will blame it......"
"Brother Guo just gave an approximate delivery time, and it is very flexible, let's be careful. If there is no danger, the little time lost here is not a big deal. Cheng Zhichao gritted his teeth and said: "However, if there is really an ambush, if we rush in, it will be too late to regret it." β
"I see it's calm ahead, except for the trees and the grass. Nothing was seen. β
"That's where it's most dangerous." Cheng Zhichao sighed: "If we can see any clues, even if there is an ambush, the opponent will not be too powerful." But if I hide so deeply that even I only intuitively feel that there is danger, and I can't even see the people on the other side, then it means that the other side must be a master, and definitely not an ordinary border guard. β
"You mean ......?" A strange thought came to Lao Cao's mind, and he said in a lost voice.
He was only halfway there. But Cheng Zhichao guessed what he wanted to say, and nodded slowly: "What I'm most worried about is that the front is not an ordinary border guard or armed police, but a special force." β
"Impossible, if there is really an ambush, it means that we have all the information on the other side, and they should know very well that we are only about twenty people, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is actually not strong. There is no experience in jungle warfare, and ordinary border guards only need one platoon to deal with us. There is no need to send special forces to come over. If we use special forces to deal with our people, we can exhaust those special forces to death. β
Alu, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a series of grunts, which made Cheng Zhichao stunned for a moment. After Lao Cao translated Alu's words into Chinese and told Cheng Zhichao, Cheng Zhichao couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought: "These people really don't know whether they live or die. I just thought that the special forces were all like those on TV, but I didn't know if what was staged on TV was whether our special forces team was good or not. It is true that there is no need for special combat teams to deal with us, but it does not mean that ordinary companies of special forces are also useless. β
The ordinary company of the special forces is only slightly inferior to the special operations team in terms of training intensity and some training subjects. But after all, they are also responsible for special operations missions in wartime, and most of the special operations subjects are also compulsory training subjects, and camouflage and lurking are even more basic skills. If these people really want to hide from others, it will be really difficult for ordinary people to find them.
"Anyway, time can't be delayed, since we haven't found an ambush, let's move on."
After Aru finished speaking, he made a concluding remarks in the last sentence. The team leaders are all old people, they are usually very familiar with each other, and they are also very convinced of Aru, if they were asked to choose between Alu and Cheng Zhichao's Jianyì, except for Lao Cao, everyone chose Alu's Jianyì.
Cheng Zhichao was really a little anxious in his heart, the feeling of danger was getting stronger and stronger, he didn't care about the life or death of these drug dealers, but he couldn't help but care about his life. In case he really stepped into the ambush circle, not to mention these drug dealers, he couldn't even say whether he could get out safely. Gritting his teeth, he said stubbornly: "If you have to move on, then you wait for a while, and I will take a few people to the front to explore the way for everyone." β
"Never." When Lao Cao heard this, he immediately shook his head like a wave drum.
"Why?"
"There are only twenty of us, and if there is an ambush, everyone will get together, and there will be many people, and maybe we can rush out desperately. However, if you disperse the troops, even if you want to rush out, you are afraid that they will be divided into pieces and eaten by others. Isn't the People's Liberation Army good at this kind of combat method, you have been a soldier, you should have a deep understanding of this tactic. β
Cheng Zhichao couldn't help laughing, this old Cao, until now he was still in the mood to joke, groaned, patted his head and said: "Brother, what you said is one thing, but it's actually another thing." We're just about 20 people, and we're not a big corps. People don't need to divide us at all, they just need to surround us together, and with a machine gun down, we will let people make dumplings. However, if you act in batches, even if you are surrounded by a group of people, others will still have a chance to escape. β
Aru said: "You keep saying that there is an ambush, but now you haven't even seen a ghost, can't we separate because of your so-called intuition?" β
After listening to Aru's words, the other team leaders all nodded their heads again and again, obviously on his side.
Cheng Zhichao had no choice but to set his sights on Lao Cao.
Lao Cao and Cheng Zhichao were in a group, and they wanted to advance and retreat with him, but this time there were a total of twenty people, divided into five groups. There are a total of six main characters, and just relying on him and Cheng Zhichao, they can't resist everyone at all, so they have to twist their heads to the side, pretending not to see Cheng Zhichao's eyes shooting at him for help.
Cheng Zhichao did not get the assistance he wanted from him, and he was very disappointed. I had to say: "Before I came, Sister Ting said that once the fight started, everyone would have to obey my command." β
Aru said: "Sister Ting said so, but you also said it, when she said 'fight', it hasn't started yet, and even if there is an enemy, Sister Ting's words can't be established." "Speaking of which. His eyes suddenly became quite strange, and his tone became yin and yang, "Brother, this time you are also a team leader, after handing over the goods, even if there is no fight, your share is indispensable, what are you anxious about?" β
Cheng Zhi was furious. I finally understood why everyone's eyes were so weird, and I dared to love these guys thinking that they thought the goods were about to arrive. However, his role in the team is not too obvious, and he is afraid that he will suffer a loss when he divides the money, so he deliberately finds something to highlight himself. It is really unreasonable to pity yourself for your hard work but be seen like this by others.
But this is indeed not the time to quarrel, Cheng Zhichao sighed, and said, "I, Liu Sichen, swear to the sky." Definitely not so pretentious because of the problem of money, it is true that there is something really wrong in front. β
"There are so many of us, which one hasn't delivered a product? When it comes to experience, either one is better than you. If there was an ambush, wouldn't we be able to see it? Aru said. Stretched out his hand and pointed at a team leader: "Don't say it, half a year ago, when we delivered the goods, someone was also ambushed and waiting to beat us, but he saw through it at a glance." Now you ask him, do you see something wrong ahead? β
The man had been quietly watching them arguing, a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time, but he had never said a word. At this time, Aru carried him out, so he had to smile and say, "Actually, everyone is not wrong, so be it." If Xiao Liu feels that something is wrong in front, when he walks for a while, your group will walk last. If there is an ambush, you will have time to escape. What do you think? β
When he said this, it was obvious that he did not agree with Cheng Zhichao's views. Of the five team leaders, four chose to form a group and Cheng Zhichao, Cheng Zhichao had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Since you insist on doing so, I can only wish you good luck." When we walked for a while, our group walked behind. β
Everyone looked disdainful, but they all agreed for a while to let Cheng Zhichao's group walk behind.
Seeing this situation, Lao Cao couldn't help but secretly worry about Cheng Zhichao, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't until everyone reached a consensus and decided to continue moving forward, and Cheng Zhichao was arranged to the end of the team with his team members as he wished, that Lao Cao found an opportunity and said in a voice that was so low that there were only the two of them: "Xiao Liu, this time, you did a bit recklessly. β
Cheng Zhichao carefully paid attention to the movements around him, and asked, "What kind of recklessness?" β
"This is the first time you have been sent out to lead a delivery team, and Brother Guo and Sister Ting will definitely pay special attention to your cousin. When you go back, you must ask, and now that you have offered to place yourself at the back of the line, the other team leaders look down on you very much. If you let Brother Guo and Sister Ting know your table today, it will be very unfavorable to you in the future. β
Cheng Zhichao smiled coldly: "They are all old qualifications and experienced, I am just a rookie who delivers goods for the first time." They don't listen to me, what can I do? β
"Then you can't go to the back, can you? What does that make people think of you? Lao Cao looked worried: "Our brothers can be divided into a group, which is also a fate, and after contact, I am also quite close to you." I'm old, and I can only mix like this, but you are different, you are still young, and there is room for development in the future, so there is no need to ruin your future because of this little thing. β
"I'm more concerned about my life than my future." Cheng Zhichao said: "No matter how good the future is, no matter how much money you make, if you don't have a life to enjoy, it's in vain." β
"Are you so sure there's an ambush ahead?"
"Didn't you notice that the trees in front of you are sparse and overgrown with weeds, making it a great place to ambush?"
Lao Cao nodded, he also knew very well that in the primeval jungle, a place like this was too rare. There are weeds around, which can hide their bodies lightly, and the sparse trees can expose Cheng Zhichao's every move clearly. In addition, this place is close to the national border, and after the fight, they can quickly withdraw to the country, even if they act without notifying the local government, they can die and refuse to admit it when they fight in the future, and others have no way to take them. If you want to set up an ambush in this forest, there is no better condition than here.
Cheng Zhichao sighed: "This feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger. Brother, you tighten the clockwork in a while, and when you see that the situation is not good, you will withdraw immediately. β
"Withdraw? Regardless of others? β
"I can't do it." Cheng Zhichao's expression was extremely cold: "Since people have set up an ambush, they must have absolute certainty that they will catch us all, at that time, we can only run one by one." If you can run out, you are already burning high incense, and you still want to help others? Wake up. (To be continued......)
