Chapter 560: Someone
Zhao Jiyong was actually very sleepy, but Cheng Zhichao said so, so he had to say that he was not sleepy. Cheng Zhichao doesn't care if he is really not sleepy, since he says that he is not sleepy, then he is really not sleepy. With Zhao Jiyong taking care of him, Cheng Zhichao was a lot more relieved, closed his eyes, and after a while, he made an even snorting sound, and it seemed that he was really asleep.
"This guy is really adaptable to the environment, and in this situation, he can still sleep."
Zhao Jiyong saw Cheng Zhichao asleep, sighed with envy, and lay on the ground bored and looked around. The hiding place has been found and the concealment has been completed, so it is naturally impossible to get out and walk around at will. Even if I felt that there would be no danger in my heart, I observed for a while, and suddenly found that my brothers couldn't do anything else, and they really reached the perfect Cheng dΓΉ in terms of disguise. He looked at it with wide eyes for a long time, but he could only find seven or eight people. If you add the soldiers of the third company, the total number of people found is less than half.
Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu haven't come back yet, and they don't know what makes them nervous in front of them, so they haven't come back after going for so long. At this time, most people had gradually calmed down, except for the sentry personnel specially arranged by Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu, everyone else closed their eyes one by one and began to rest. After Zhao Jiyong looked at it for a while, he didn't find anything abnormal, and his two eyelids began to fight.
He was about to fall asleep in a daze, when he suddenly heard a strange sound not far away, Zhao Jiyong was suddenly startled, raised his head slightly, and looked at the place where the noise was made.
The sound came from the right, where there were several large trees and dense weeds, and some vines were tightly wrapped around the trunks, blocking the view.
Zhao Jiyong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stabbed Cheng Zhichao gently. In a dangerous place, Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu attach so much importance to it. Even if he was sleeping and resting, Cheng Zhichao's subconscious was a little vigilant, Zhao Jiyong just stabbed him twice, and Cheng Zhichao immediately opened his eyes.
Hearing the sound, Zhao Jiyong didn't dare to communicate with Cheng Zhichao in language anymore, so he had to use sign language to tell Cheng Zhichao instead. He had just heard some noises, and it didn't look like they were made by wild beasts, insects, and ants, maybe they were people.
Cheng Zhichao also became nervous, and looked in the direction he pointed, but he couldn't see anything, and couldn't help but slowly point the barrel of the gun in that direction. His movements were extremely light, and the gun was at his hand again, barely making any movement. After he finished pointing the barrel, he nodded to Zhao Jiyong.
Zhao Jiyong also raised the gun in his hand. Together with Cheng Zhichao, they stared intently at that direction, and the two of them waited for a long time, but they didn't find any changes. In addition, the sentry also honestly lurked in place and did not issue any warning, and for a while, Zhao Jiyong thought that he had heard it wrong. However, Zhichao is like a great enemy, and he always pays close attention to that direction.
This staring was more than half an hour, just when Cheng Zhichao was about to give up paying attention again. There was an extremely slight strange noise, and the shadows seemed to be able to see a slight tremor from the grass that was extremely abnormal. Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong immediately opened their eyes again. But they were still some distance away from that place now, and they didn't dare to make a rash move.
Now the two of them were 100% sure that there must be someone in the grass. That is, their actions have fallen into the eyes of those who have a heart and are closely monitored. I don't know who the other party is, but it's certain. These people certainly have bad intentions.
Knowing that they had bad intentions, but now that Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu were not there, they could not get further instructions, and the two of them didn't know what to do next, so they could only lie there and spend it. It's hard enough.
At this time, the sentry hidden in the tree had already noticed that something was wrong, and several birdsong came from the tree, which was the agreed warning signal. After the signal was given, the sentry did not make any moves, and it is unknown how many people heard his warning and reacted. So far, they have not found out how many people there are on the other side, and after the warning, they can only hide in the trees so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy.
Soon after the birdsong sounded, there was another noise on the grass, and it didn't take long for Cheng Zhichao and others to find that Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu suddenly appeared on the edge of the camp as if they had emerged from under the ground. As soon as they saw them, Cheng Zhichao, Zhao Jiyong and others found the backbone and hurriedly got out of the hiding place.
"What's going on?" After Xia Zhenyang arrived at the scene, he was relieved that there were no casualties, and then asked the sentry nervously.
The two sentinels, one of whom was Qiao Wei, codenamed Penguin, was a soldier in the first company of the former special brigade, and after the selection, he stayed in the third division. The entire third detachment, which now originally belonged to the special brigade, only he and a soldier codenamed Panda. When he was in the special brigade, he had already received relatively systematic training, and after the special operations training, although his results were not the best, he was one of the most mature and stable members. Xia Zhenyang wanted to understand the situation, and the first thing that came to mind was to ask him, not another sentry.
"There was an unusual movement over there just now, that's why I warned you."
"Let's take a look." Xia Zhenyang heard an abnormal movement, his pupils shrank sharply, and he gritted his teeth and was about to pass.
"Squad leader, can't go over, in case ......"
"What's in case, if people really want to mess with us, we would have killed them a long time ago. Since they haven't done it yet, there is only one possibility, that is, if they find that their whereabouts are exposed, they will run away a long time ago. It's okay, go over and take a look. Lei Qiyu said lightly, but still found a place to raise the sniper rifle, ready to cover them.
At this time, Xia Zhenyang had already taken the lead and walked towards the place where the sound sounded, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong's heads were hot, one left and one right, and they followed him like two generals.
After arriving at that place, Xia Zhenyang squatted down, took a closer look, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's really embarrassing for them, they stayed with us for a night, and they didn't rest, but they still wanted to take a closer look." β
"Squad leader, you said they stayed with us?"
"If you don't have a night, you have to have half a night, otherwise you think they are immortals, and they can find our campsite at once?" Xia Zhenyang reached out and pulled up a weed that had been overwhelmed. After pondering for a while, he said to Zhao Jiyong: "Find the correspondent immediately, contact Team Chen, and tell him about the situation on our side." β
Zhao Jiyong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to find the communicator. At this time, everyone had already been awakened, and those who woke up later already knew from those who woke up first that they were being targeted. All of them looked shocked, knowing that the other party had left, but they were still nervous and clenched the weapons in their hands in order to deal with the emergency.
It didn't take long for Chen Yu to hurry up with two people with a black face, and he couldn't wait to ask Xia Zhenyang about the situation before his footsteps stopped.
After listening to Xia Zhenyang's report, Chen Yu's face became even more ugly: "Have you reported to the team?" β
"Not yet, waiting for you to discuss."
"There's no need to discuss, report to the team immediately, and wait for the next step."
Xia Zhenyang understands what he calls "next instructions". refers to the next battle plan after finding the body, and immediately order the signal corps to get in touch with Cheng Yanming.
Originally, according to the plan formulated by the special brigade, it should have been found before moving forward. Now it is still dozens of kilometers away from the place where the mercenaries last fought them, and it is not close to the place where the corpses are buried, so it stands to reason that the mercenaries should not put their hands here.
However, now that the third team has been targeted, it means that things are not as simple as imagined, so whether to continue to implement the original battle plan or make some changes according to the situation. You have to ask your superiors for instructions.
After Cheng Yanming received their news, he first asked where they were. In the end, the decisive order was given, and all the team members immediately gave up their rest and continued to move forward, keeping a distance of ten minutes between the first and third teams. He personally led the soldiers of the second detachment and the third company to follow. Even if the first and third detachments were targeted by the enemy, because the second detachment was far away from them, he was personally led by the special operations captain who was proficient in jungle warfare. It is completely guaranteed that it will not be detected by the enemy.
After receiving his order, Xia Zhenyang and the others immediately packed up and continued to move forward. Although marching during the day is more dangerous than at night, it also has the advantage of being the first to strike. It's easy to spot the enemy's location and react. Now everyone already knows the danger of this operation, and no one dares to be careless. The third team was divided into three parts, Xia Zhenyang led Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong to walk in the front, and Lei Qiyu walked in the middle with most of the people. At the end of the line was a rearguard of three men, all of whom were loaded and ready to fight.
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong did not feel honored because Xia Zhenyang asked the two of them to follow them by name, on the contrary, they also felt a lot of pressure: they are now playing the role of vanguards. It is often performed on TV, and when there is a war, the first to die is the vanguard. The two of them pursed their lips tightly and followed behind Xia Zhenyang, their hearts beating loudly, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, the suicide note left at home would come in handy.
After crossing a small river, Xia Zhenyang stopped, took out the map to look at the direction, and then took out the compass to judge the direction of progress, and then smiled and said to Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong: "Aren't you nervous?" β
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Nonsense. Let's be honest. β
"Not very nervous, just too fucking nervous." Zhao Jiyong looked around in a thief's way, and whispered: "Squad leader, is the person who came to our camp just now, the person who fought with you last time?" β
"I don't know yet, but as you saw just now, they're well hidden, and they're connoisseurs at first glance. It's not a good thing to let this kind of expert target it. β
"Do you think you can fight?"
"100 percent of the time you have to fight, the difference is when the fight starts." Xia Zhenyang received the map and compass in his pocket, and smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, it's not the first time you have actually fought in battle, isn't it good to watch the table last time, and this time I have full confidence in you." When the real fight starts, you don't do anything, just fight and run as soon as possible, and I'll stay behind to cover you. As soon as the battle on our side starts, Team Chen will immediately bring people over to support us. The skills of the two of you are among the best in our third team, so there should be no problem running away. The other guys are a lot worse than you, so that's why I brought you two with me. β
Only then did Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong know that it was because of their good skills that they were favored by Xia Zhenyang and won the vanguard. Suddenly his mouth was full of bitterness, and for the first time in his life, he felt annoyed because of his good skills.
Xia Zhenyang glanced at the way he came, got up and said, "Let's go, go more than 20 kilometers southwest and you will arrive at the place." Don't be nervous, those people were scared of us last time. As a last resort, they didn't dare to take it lightly. β
"I hope so." Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts that the last time they also suffered a big loss, it was because the entire third team of people got together, and they were all veterans with extremely strong combat effectiveness. But this time, they were originally a group of rookies who had just entered the battlefield, and they were divided into three echelons, if there was another battle. The rookies were 100 percent fried alive.
The road ahead is getting more and more difficult, and there is no ready-made road in the primeval jungle for them to move forward, and they are clear as they go along the way. Now that I'm being targeted again, I have to be even more cautious, and the speed will naturally not be fast. It was almost noon, and I had only walked a dozen kilometers forward. Although they had only walked such a short distance, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong's hands were also scraped bloody, all thanks to an unknown plant that passed by just now. At first glance, it was no different from any other vine. Therefore, the two of them had never seen it and didn't care, so they took out the dagger they carried with them and bravely walked in front to open the way for Xia Zhenyang.
Wait until Xia Zhenyang found that they had drilled into the danger zone. When they were reminded loudly, it was already a step too late, and there were countless barbs growing on the thin vines that seemed harmless to humans and animals, and the daggers in the hands of the two people only waved a few times, and they felt a sharp pain, and looked down. They were all startled and hurriedly fled back.
Xia Zhenyang shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, you two should follow behind me, it's too worrying." β
"Squad leader, what is this? Why is it so powerful? β
"This thing is one of the more common thorn vines in the rainforest. However, this thing has been cleared in the training ground of our brigade, and I am afraid that you will be injured during training, so you have never seen it. Xia Zhenyang cautiously opened the way for the two of them in front, and said without looking back, "You have to be extra careful, in a tropical rainforest like this, there are countless thorny plants, and if you are not careful, you will be stabbed." Follow the path I have laid out for you, and don't run around. β
"Fuck, man-bears, even the trees are bears now." Zhao Jiyong wiped the sweat from his forehead, "What the hell is this place, it's even hotter than our training ground, and after walking for a while, the clothes on my body are all wet." Super ...... No, Ring, do you have any water, give me a little, I can't stand the thirst. β
Cheng Zhichao untied the kettle, and was about to hand it to him, but was stopped by Xia Zhenyang: "Don't give it to him, two kilometers further is another small river, let's drink water there." By the way, why didn't you think to fill the kettle with some water when we passed by that little river just now? β
"Forget." Zhao Jiyong said confidently.
"......" Xia Zhenyang and Cheng Zhichao looked at each other speechlessly.
The three of them opened the way, keeping an eye on the movements around them. Fortunately, the people I found in the morning did not show up now, and after walking for about an hour, I finally heard the sound of gurgling water in front of me. Zhao Jiyong was in high spirits, accelerated his pace and walked in the forefront.
After walking forward for another two or three minutes, a small river about two meters wide appeared in front of me, the water was not deep, and it was extremely clear. Zhao Jiyong was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to the river, picked up a handful of water to wash his face first, and then took out the water purifier to simply purify the river water, and drank it in a big gulp.
When he drank water, Cheng Zhichao and Xia Zhenyang were on the side to guard him, and until he finished drinking the water, he was replaced by another person to drink, and Zhao Jiyong was on guard. It wasn't until all three of them took turns drinking the water that they found a place they thought was safer to sit down and rest.
Zhao Jiyong leaned on the tree, looked at the canopy of the tree covering the sky above his head, and asked Xia Zhenyang with straight eyes: "Squad leader, you have been here and are familiar with the terrain, how far are we from our destination now?" β
"Soon, if nothing else, walk for a few more hours, and you should be able to reach your destination before dark."
"God forbid, don't make any trouble, I've never been very steady, and I always feel like something is going to happen."
Xia Zhenyang smiled slightly, and thought: "It's right if you don't be down-to-earth, let's come this time, finding the corpse is just one of the tasks, the most important task is really nothing to do." β
After a short time, the second echelon behind also followed, and after reporting to each other that they were safe, Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu took out the map to confirm the destination, and then led Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong to continue to move forward, so that the people of the second echelon stayed in place to rest.
Along the way, there were no accidents, before dark, Xia Zhenyang led the two of them to a small ridge and stopped, took out the map and compass again, and said slowly: "It's here, it should be around here." β
"Arrived?" Zhao Jiyong raised his eyes and looked around, and Xiao Tukan saw one, but it was completely different from what he imagined. According to Xia Zhenyang, the small ridge had been blown down a long time ago, but now it didn't look like it had been blown up at all, and it was overgrown with weeds, and there were some wild flowers among the weeds, and the colorful flowers were swaying in the wind.
"Is it here? Squad leader, why don't I feel like I've been in a war, are you mistaken? (To be continued......)
