Chapter 48 (I) Ghost
Hearing that Tang Shuxing was going to Ithaca, Solomon patted the hood of his car and whistled at the night bat.
The night bat turned his head to look at Solomon, who pointed to Tang Shuxing on the side with his thumb and said, "Teacher, he is going to Ithaca, we have company on the road." β
"You're going too?" Tang Shuxing chuckled in his heart, wondering if these two people should go with him, right?
The night bat continued to collect things with a blank face, got all the useful things on the soldiers, and asked Tang Shuxing and Solomon to help, threw all the corpses of the soldiers into the middle of the road, and then found two logs, made a cross, and inserted them into the ground.
After doing this, the night bat lifted the brim of his hat and said, "From now on, this is the sign of the hunter." β
As he spoke, the night bat threw some of the combustibles he had prepared into the pile of corpses, and got some alcohol to ignite them, and the pile began to burst into flames.
Tang Shuxing was worried that the fire would attract other soldiers, so he immediately said, "If you want to go, it's best to take advantage of it now." β
Night Bat threw Tang Shuxing a set of equipment, including combat uniforms, weapons and ammunition for individual combat, and pointed to the quad bike in the distance and said: "These are yours, we don't go the same way, you go yours, we go ours." β
Tang Shuxing took the thing with a smile: "Thank you, I didn't contribute, you still gave me equipment, I'm a little ashamed." β
"No, you're not ashamed, you're thick-skinned, if you're really ashamed, you won't accept what I give." After saying that, the night bat pulled down his hat, turned around and jumped into the car, and honked his horn. One is to ask Solomon to get into the car, and the other is to say goodbye to Tang Shuxing.
Tang Shuxing waved goodbye, watched the car disappear, and then returned to the four-wheeled motorcycle, although it was the same as the previous three-wheeled motorcycle, but this thing Tang Shuxing felt that it was not difficult to drive, maybe because of the difference in appearance, and Tang Shuxing had an accident on a motorcycle in his early years, and fell into a psychological shadow.
Tang Shuxing changed into the clothes of the army, and he felt much more comfortable to wear. Then I sorted things out again. After two sips of water, he flipped through the map to the compass, and headed west on his own.
Tang Shuxing did not take the big road, but advanced from the small road. By the time I left the town, it was already dark. The sun is setting below the horizon in the distance. He is heading towards the sunset, which is actually a bit dangerous, if someone ambushes him with his back to the sunset. He barely had time to react.
However, fortunately, Solomon and the Night Bat were also heading west, so those two could be regarded as the spearheads of Tang Shuxing, and if something happened, there would definitely be gunshots or other sounds, which could be heard clearly from a kilometer away.
Tang Shuxing knew that sooner or later he would have to abandon this motorcycle, so before leaving, he drained the gasoline of the three-wheeled motorcycle and hid the gasoline barrel in a collapsed house, only that kind of place would not lead people to find useful things, so it was relatively safe.
After advancing for more than four hours, at about 22 o'clock in the evening, Tang Shuxing finally saw a series of bright lights on the side of the road in the distance, he grabbed the binoculars and looked at it, and found the gas station supply point pointed by Solomon and the night bat, far away, he could almost hear the noise inside, and the lights were also very strong, this group of guys was very unscrupulous, after all, they were outnumbered, not afraid of sneak attacks, and they were not afraid of the so-called air raids, because here, only they had an air force.
"Damn it." Tang Shuxing scolded in a low voice, because the gasoline of the motorcycle has bottomed out, either get some gasoline to get around, or walk to get around, there are only two options.
Just when I was thinking about this, there was a sudden gunshot in front of me, a very fierce gunshot, there were shouts of killing and screams inside, and then there was a big explosion at the supply point, the flames rose into the air, flying dozens of meters high, and the explosion then began to continue, cars and motorcycles rushed out of it, scattered in all directions, and then turned off the lights, and disappeared.
Tang Shuxing stayed there and didn't move, just adjusted the telescope and looked around, and said to himself, "It can't be that the hunter did it, right?" Are those two crazy? β
The explosion lasted for a while, turning into flames, illuminating most of the sky in fiery red, and there was no longer half a figure in sight at the supply point, however, there were still a few cars and motorcycles parked around, and scattered gunshots could be heard from time to time, but perhaps because the muzzles of the soldiers were equipped with brakes, silencers and other accessories, it was too far away to see the fire from the muzzles.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Tang Shuxing slowly groped through, carrying his silenced pistol, feeling that it was really inconvenient to not have the Dragon Lin Blade and Yin Bee by his side, and unconsciously, he had adapted to using cold weapons over the years. Moreover, those two divine weapons are extremely convenient.
Entering the range of the supply point, he had to be completely exposed because of the fire, but when he walked to the few intact cars parked on the side of the road, Tang Shuxing found that the bodies of many soldiers were lying there horizontally, all of them were hit by bullets, and there were no traces of a struggle at the scene, it seemed that these people were ambushed, as if they had been put into cold gun, who could it be?
Tang Shuxing counted all the way and counted at least fifty or sixty corpses, he was very surprised, because no matter how good the two hunters were, unless they had superb magic skills, it was impossible to kill so many soldiers in a short period of time, and the soldiers were all shot, not killed by magic or something.
Tang Shuxing touched into the barracks next to him, before entering, he thought about it, put on the gas mask, not afraid of poisonous fog, just want to have a living mouth, wearing their clothes and wearing a gas mask, the other party will probably think that he is his own person for a while, and he can talk to him.
Tang Shuxing entered the house, deliberately turned on the flashlight and looked around, and finally heard a wheezing sound in the corner, and then looked for it, just walked past the high and low bed, and when he looked behind the cabinet, he saw the muzzle of the gun sticking out, and then the person holding the gun saw him, first nervous, then relaxed, and seemed to think that he was his own person.
The man, whose face was covered in mud and blood, leaned there, shaking his head: "Ghosts, they are made by ghosts." β
Tang Shuxing nodded, but did not speak, because his accent was still problematic, just checking the person's injuries, but he wanted to know what the "ghost" in that person's mouth was, it couldn't be a real ghost, right? Could it be that ghosts can use guns?
"The supply station is gone, and we can't live, don't go back, run, leave." The man looked at Tang Shuxing and said with his eyelids half-clasped, Tang Shuxing looked at the steel bar inserted into his abdomen, knowing that he would not survive.
"It's going to evaporate here, runβ" The man said and hung his head.
Evaporate? When Tang Shuxing heard this word, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and suddenly he thought of something, turned around and ran out of the barracks, ran outside and parked in the distance, on top of a car he saw before, started the car, drove in the opposite direction, and rushed to the position where he parked the motorcycle, without turning on the lights all the way.
At the moment when Tang Shuxing was about to stop, four Hellfire missiles shot down from the high-altitude drone towards the supply station, two of which hit the gas station that had already caught fire and exploded, and the other two hit the barracks and the armory next to it.
There was a secondary explosion at the depot, and this explosion wiped out the entire depot, leaving nothing intact.
The shock wave of the explosion spread to the location where Tang Shuxing was, so that the car and the motorcycle next to it were shaken, Tang Shuxing grabbed the steering wheel, waited for a long time, the vibration stopped, looked at the rearview mirror in the car, the supply station has completely turned into a sea of fire, and the cars and motorcycles around that were originally intact were all blown to pieces.
"This group of government troops is too ruthless and does not rescue at all." Tang Shuxing shook his head and got out of the car to quickly carry the things on the motorcycle to the car, but he didn't start the car immediately, he was worried that the movement would be detected by the drone, although the drone normally carried four hellfires, but there were no other weapons, or other drones.
It seems that the government forces will never allow the slightest thing in the supply depot after the attack to fall into the hands of the attackers, but what is the "ghost" that the soldier is talking about?
βghostοΌβ Tang Shuxing repeated the soldier's words, unable to understand.
After waiting for a long time, Tang Shuxing drove away, and the oil cylinder was full, but unfortunately he couldn't move forward on the highway and had to detour, which would also cost a lot of fuel.
After Tang Shuxing left, on the hill in the distance, a woman in a black tights slowly got up, spread her hair out, and in front of her, there was a large-caliber sniper rifle with a muffler, she stared at Tang Shuxing's distant car, as if her eyes had night vision.
Immediately afterwards, from under the hill behind the woman, four or five people slowly got up, all looking in the direction of the distance, and then, more than fifty men and women wearing various black clothes stood up neatly on both sides of the surrounding side, maintaining various postures, looking at the direction where Tang Shuxing left.
The woman took out the flask at her waist, took a sip, and handed it to another man beside her, who also took a sip, and then the flask passed down again, and when it reached the third person, the man took a sip and asked, "Queen, are we going to catch up?" β
"Chase." The woman called the queen nodded, and said with a disdainful smile, "I don't know where it is sacred, but it seems that the courage is good, just the three of us will chase it, and the others will disperse, return to the camp in groups of three, leave a group every five minutes, and tell them that those who have eyes on their heads will stare at them, and if they don't want to die, they will be obedient." β
After the woman finished speaking, she grabbed her backpack and threw the sniper rifle to a man in the back, while she turned around and walked under the tree, jumped on the back of the light mountain buggy and sat down, waiting for the other two to sit in front of her, then raised her hand to look at the old electronic watch and nodded: "Let's go!" β
After the light mountain buggy started, the four wheels quickly spun on the grass, and then rushed out and chased in the direction that Tang Shuxing left.
At this time, Tang Shuxing, who was driving, was still thinking about where the two hunters were in front, and he didn't expect that a light off-road vehicle would be chasing after him, and the leader was still a bewitching woman. (To be continued......)
