193. Silent woods
The bird was killed by thunder, and it stands to reason that the wreckage should be in a charred state, and it did. But now, it dawned on him that it wasn't really a bird.
Because he saw that the remains of the bird were wriggling. To be precise, it is scattered all over its body.
Two seconds later, the officer was shocked to see that the birds had turned into worms.
They were scorched and couldn't move after a few moments of wriggling, but it was confirmed that they were bugs.
A bird made up of bugs?
Can you still fly in the sky?
The officer, who saw the bird shot down by thunder, felt a deep panic rise in his heart. It dawned on him that the task was not only more difficult than he imagined, but also more terrifying than he imagined!
Difficult and terrible, there are too many different meanings.
"What is this?" He subconsciously asked the question.
Tang Brick shook his head and said, "It may be some kind of bug." ”
"What a bug?" The officer, still skeptical, was born into a scientific society, making it hard for him to believe that a bug could turn into a bird.
"It's not surprising, weren't butterflies bugs in the first place?" Tang Brick said.
The officer was stunned, not knowing how to refute. But he immediately thought of Tang Brick's move that almost broke up the formation and put everyone in a more dangerous situation, and reprimanded with a calm face: "I don't know what the superiors are doing when they throw you in, but you must understand that your every move may affect the entire team!" If the next time you run around and get eaten by bugs, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”
At this time, a soldier next to him said with a strange face: "Boss, it seems that he threw out a paper talisman just now, and then the worm retreated." ”
The officer turned his head to look at the soldier in amazement, a piece of paper?
The bug's inexplicable sudden retreat is because of this guy? How can it be?
"Yes, yes, I saw it too, it seems to be thundering." Another soldier standing in the front row said that they were relatively close to Tang Brick, and even during the battle, they clearly witnessed the scene.
The officers will doubt Tang Brick's ability, but they will not suspect his subordinates of lying.
He carefully looked at the "bird" in Tang Brick's hand and identified those scorched black marks, which seemed to be indeed traces left by electric fire. After two more looks, he asked, "How did you do that?" ”
"What?"
"Take this bird...... Knock it down, and those bugs suddenly retreat, do you know something? With a skeptical look on his face, he should have thought that the sudden entry of a person by his superiors could not be really a burden, and there must be other effects.
Thinking about Tang Brick's strange behavior just now, the only thing the officer could think of was this.
"Can you tell me the details of this mission?" Tang Brick asked again.
The officer looked at him, and after a while, replied, "You don't have a gun, you still have to pay more attention to your own safety, and now follow the procession!" ”
With that, he beckoned the team members in the rear to move on.
The officer chose to continue to keep it secret, and Tang Brick was not surprised, it was impossible for ordinary soldiers to participate in a special mission like this. Those who are qualified to come in will naturally have a very strict mouth.
But he's not in a hurry, if he's guessed correctly, a swarm like the one just now is just an appetizer. Sooner or later, he will take the initiative to tell himself.
And Tang Brick was also extremely unhappy in his heart, when Nie Hong sent him to participate in the mission, he didn't say that there would be these. If I knew this was the case, I should have asked him to add money!
The crowd stepped forward and stepped on the corpse of the bug.
Those scorched insects, covered with a thick layer, made a crisp sound when stepped on. The sound alone made the scalps of the people who listened to it tingle.
If the bugs hadn't retreated abruptly, they would have been gnawed away by now.
survived, even if these people are the top of various units, they feel somewhat fortunate in their hearts.
Several of them looked at Tang Brick from time to time, they stood in the front, and saw Tang Brick throw out the paper talisman, a thunderbolt slashed down, and then the worm ran away.
Although they couldn't understand the relationship between the Dao Fu and the retreat of the insect swarm, they could be sure that it was Tang Brick who did something that saved their lives.
It's just that this kind of thing can't be said casually, because even if it is said, few people believe it.
Seeing Tang Brick throwing paper talismans, there were only a handful, and even they were puzzled by this, not to mention others.
The soldier who was carrying the flamethrower on his back and had scolded Tang Brick before slowed down and walked with Tang Brick. He looked at the young man next to him curiously, and then whispered, "Brother, my name is Fu Liang." ”
Tang Brick glanced at him and nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
The man didn't care about his slightly cold attitude, and with great curiosity, he asked, "What did you just throw?" Is that Ray? ”
"Sort of." Tang Brick replied.
"You know how to spell?" The soldier asked again.
"A little."
"Cow B!" The soldier said with surprise on his face, and expressed his admiration without hesitation. He didn't even think about doubting the truth of Tang Brick's words, as if Tang Brick believed whatever he said.
The officer in the team glanced up at this side and said in a deep voice, "Keep quiet!" ”
The soldier shrunk his neck, smiled good-naturedly at Tang Brick, and then quickened his pace and walked to the front of the line.
Tang Brick looked at his back, and vaguely felt like he was back on the battlefield.
At the beginning, the soldiers of the peacekeeping force made him feel a completely different temperament from Hongchen. And now, that feeling has reappeared.
I have just experienced a life-and-death battle, and according to the self-preservation instinct of human beings, when we know that there may be irresistible danger ahead, we should retreat in time.
However, now the entire team is nearly thirty people, and not one of them thinks of withdrawing.
Aren't they afraid of death?
No way!
When the swarm was about to engulf them, Tang Brick clearly saw that many people had a look of fear on their faces. But now, fear has disappeared from their faces, replaced by vigilance and anger.
Vigilance is understandable, but why is anger?
Tang Brick suddenly found that the longer he spent with these soldiers, the more he couldn't understand them.
This was true of the former peacekeeping forces, and now it is also the case with the special detachments.
This canyon is not too long, nor too short, about 500 meters before and after.
The stone walls on both sides of the canyon are full of large and small potholes. Sometimes, you can vaguely see a black shadow passing by.
Several soldiers also climbed up to take a look, but they couldn't see anything.
The holes are black and deep, the largest enough for people to get into, and the smallest is only the thickness of chopsticks.
Without figuring out what was inside, they didn't dare to venture into it, so they jumped down again.
Compared with these nervous soldiers, Tang Brick seemed more relaxed, mixed in the middle of the team, like an idler who had nothing to do.
Several soldiers who had previously ignored his movements because of the fierce fighting were even more dissatisfied.
"Boss, why didn't you just drive this guy back? We have already lost a lot of ammunition, and if we take one more person, we will have to devote some more energy to take care of him, and the gains outweigh the losses! One soldier complained.
"Leave him alone, stay vigilant!" The officer said in a deep voice.
There is a saying that Tang Brick has a piece of paper to retreat from the swarm, which has spread in the team, but the vast majority of people do not believe it. They prefer to believe that the bugs are temporarily retreating because they have lost too much.
After all, it's a bug, there is no IQ to speak of, and it's normal to run away if you're scared of being beaten.
Soon after, the team walked out of the canyon and a forest appeared in front of them.
The forest is big and quiet.
"Raise your vigilance, spaced a meter apart, and move forward at a constant speed!" The officer commanded.
Tang Brick looked at the woods in front of him, then glanced back at him, frowning slightly. He waited a little longer, until the officer came to him, and said, "I suggest you better not go in." ”
"Why?"
"Don't you think the woods are too quiet?" Tang Brick asked.
The officer looked up at the woods with a puzzled expression on his face. The forest is indeed too quiet, and it stands to reason that even if you can't hear the sounds of the animals, at least there should be birds.
But now he could not hear anything, and there was a dead silence in the woods, as if there were no living creatures at all.
This is a sign of danger, the officer glanced at Tang Brick, and then said: "Our mission is to pass through this forest and then join the multinational joint forces. If you're scared, don't go! ”
"Have you ever thought that a lot of people will die when you go in? I can't save everyone. Tang Brick said very seriously.
"Joke, we need you to save it? A rookie who doesn't even know how to use a gun? ”
"That's it, if it weren't for us just now, you would have been eaten by worms, and now you are running out and talking big?"
Several soldiers who had seen Tang Brick rampage through the team before, mocked with unhappy faces. They don't believe that a piece of paper can repel the swarm, that's a movie plot, and it can't exist in reality.
If the paper talisman can force the bugs back, what else should they do?
Tang Brick didn't speak, just stared at the officer. Although he is not a soldier, he has already understood that there is only one person in the team who has the final say.
As long as the officer gives the order, no matter how unhappy the others are, there is nothing they can do.
"I received an order to join the multinational force!" The officer spoke.
The team continued to move on, without stopping.
Tang Brick sighed secretly, vaguely understanding why he called himself.
He's here, so he can save a few more, and if he doesn't come, maybe this group of people will die cleanly.
Thirty people entered the woods, and the sunlight in the sky was also covered at that moment. The vast dark clouds darkened the heavens and the earth.
The officer, who had just entered the woods, looked up and could no longer see the sun, which made him feel uneasy.
Looking back at Tang Brick not far from him, he realized that maybe he should listen to this person and leave here.
However, if he left, he would have resisted the orders of his superiors, and his career would be over.
As a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders, and soon, the officer abandoned the distractions in his mind and reminded everyone to turn on the searchlight and move on.
