Cheng Liping took a closer look, and it was really as Gemu said, this stream actually flowed in the northeast direction. Cheng Liping sighed while wondering, wondering why the nearest outlet to the sea was obviously on Grass Island in the northwest, why the water would flow to the northeast. What I sigh is that after nearly two years of leaving the original team, my observation ability and acuity are indeed declining, and if it weren't for Gemu's reminder, I might not have noticed this detail.

In the mountains and forests, the movement of water is almost irregular. Wherever a ditch is formed in a low-lying area, it is an eternal rule that the water will go in which direction. So judging by the peculiar direction of this stream, there are no useful clues.

After enough rest, the two continued to climb upwards. It took about two hours to finally reach the top of the mountain. The top of Tiger Mountain is not very high, only more than 1,000 meters, but when you go to the top of the mountain, you can see that the surrounding clouds and mist are shrouded, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, which looks extremely magnificent. However, looking down, there was a dense canopy of trees in sight, and there was no level camp in sight, and it seemed that the intention to spend so much energy to find a secret base would end in failure.

Manpower is always limited, Cheng Liping thought silently. If there is any infrared detector, it only needs to be swept from mid-air to determine the location of the secret camp. Relying on manual searching, I'm afraid that the three armies will not be able to do it. Gemu sat with a sad face for a while, and suddenly laughed gloomily, and said, "Brother comrade, have you forgotten that their camp was blown up. ”

Cheng Liping nodded, isn't this an obvious thing, the problem is to find this location now. Gemu shook his head and said, "Think about it, comrade, since they can blow up that place, it means that those people know that direction." ”

Cheng Liping nodded again, he seemed to know Gemu's intentions, it seems that this partner is also very flexible, and he is worthy of being a veteran on the agent front. Gemu continued, "If they continue to fight, they will definitely pay attention here, so we can find their lair." Cheng Liping added with a smile: "Even if they don't pay attention here, the staff in the base will need to eat, drink and Lazar, and when the time comes, the people who transport supplies will come over, and we can also find their location." ”

Gemu was stunned for a moment, and said faintly: "It turns out that you have already thought of it." ”

Cheng Liping smiled: "I only thought of it when you mentioned it, so it's still your credit." ”

Gemu pursed his lips, signaling that he would not accept such verbal praise. In fact, when all aspects are taken together, waiting is the best way. Because those soldiers have not returned for a long time, the base will definitely send people to search, and once their bodies are found, Cheng Liping and Gemu will face the dilemma of encirclement and interception. Whether you will be able to survive is still unknown at that time, so don't go whimsically to complete the task.

Staying here, you can wait for work, and you can also detect what is happening below in time, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. However, after leaving the stream, their own food has also become a problem, Cheng Liping and Gemu have no choice but to return from the high place and return the same way, and choose a compromise location to set up camp. Luckily, there are plenty of pines and cypresses, and there are some squirrels jumping up and down among the trees. Gemu was born with the ability to hunt, and after fiddling in the forest for more than half an hour, he actually caught a few poor squirrels and came back.

"Eat this?" Cheng Liping asked in surprise.

"It tastes good, I've eaten it." Gemu said nonchalantly.

Cheng Liping has also eaten such things, not only squirrels, but also small animals such as poisonous snakes and grasshoppers, but he knows that there is cassava to eat, but he has to eat such a clever and cute animal as a squirrel, and he feels strange in his heart. But cassava provides starch, while squirrel's meat provides protein and fat, and the effects of the two are not of the same magnitude at all.

Ge Mucai didn't care what Cheng Liping was thinking, he used a sharp stone to make a knife, and immediately broke the intestines of a few squirrels. After removing the entrails and claws, the slick squirrel was strung on a stick like a small mouse. There are no seasonings, but the squirrels that have been roasted over the fire still taste good. Gemu ate a mouth full of oil, and he was satisfied and lay on the ground and patted his stomach, saying, "Comrade brother, what did you do before?" I asked your leaders, but they couldn't tell me clearly. ”

Cheng Liping ate the squirrel slowly and methodically, and said, "It's almost the same as you." ”

Gemu smiled: "That's a miscellaneous." I'm just a miscellaneous worker in our country, I can't go to a country with good conditions, and I can't run away from a place with bad conditions. ”

The more Cheng Liping listened, the funnier he became, this Gemu was really funny when he spoke. However, to say that the Jin family's territory is indeed not a good place for business trips. It is said that tourists who come here are subject to all kinds of interrogations, not to mention these ill-intentioned outsiders. After eating the squirrel, Cheng Liping grabbed a handful of dirt as dish soap, washed his hands in the stream, and suddenly thought of his parents who were far away in Licheng. It's been a few days since I left China, and I don't know how my parents are doing now, and I don't know if everything is okay with Tian Zicheng, who has returned to Beijing, and Xu Jingwen, who has left Hong Kong.

"Gemu, who else is in your family?" Cheng Liping asked.

Gemu didn't answer, and after a few minutes, he reluctantly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just me." ”

Cheng Liping didn't talk anymore, judging from Gemu's appearance, he should be in his thirties, about the same age as Liu Weiguo. It is usually said that he has a family and has children of his own. But as an agent, it's easy to provoke enemies. Once targeted, it is difficult for the family to be saved. Cheng Liping doesn't have to ask anymore, he can guess.

Hidden in the mountains and forests, time flies very slowly, as if every minute and every second is hard to boil. Sometimes, though, it feels like time flies too quickly. In the midst of the chirping of birds and the flowing water, it was evening again in the blink of an eye.

There are many weeds growing near the stream, and at night, mosquitoes start to come out. Frogs, which feed on mosquitoes, also jumped out and croaked non-stop, and then the snakes that feed on frogs were also unwilling to lag behind, and for a time the streams were bustling with activity. It only took ten minutes to catch squirrels during the day and frogs and snakes at night, and it only took ten minutes to catch enough meat for the whole day of tomorrow.

There is food, and there is no need to worry about water, but how to rest has become a big problem. The smoke from the burning of certain weeds can repel mosquitoes, and Cheng Liping and Gemu both know this common sense, but the light from the fire at night can easily reveal their location. If it weren't for the last resort, Cheng Liping and Gemu would not be willing to take this kind of indifferent risk. Since this primitive method was not used, the two could only climb the tree and find a place where the branches were forked to rest. It's a high place, there are fewer mosquitoes, and you can avoid poisonous snakes, which is the best way to deal with it.

Rao was like this, and when he woke up the next morning, Cheng Liping was still bitten with more than ten big bags. The mosquitoes living in the primeval jungle are very poisonous, and Cheng Liping only feels itchy and numb on his body, and he can't help but touch those quail egg-sized pimples with his hands. Gemu's situation is not much better, but he has dark skin, a thin body, and the pimples on his skin are not as big as Cheng Liping's.

"It's better than giving me a knife." Gemu couldn't bear the itch, sat down in the stream, and cursed and screamed non-stop.

Cheng Liping walked around, picked some cool herbs, chewed them and put them on the mosquito bites. After cleaning up, he called Gemu again, Gemu shook his head and said, "It's more comfortable in the water, I don't wipe that thing." ”

Cheng Liping said with a smile: "Mosquito bites can spread meningitis, you should be careful." ”

Gemu said: "It has nothing to do with me, I don't have a brain." ”

Having said that, after coming out of the stream, Gemu still asked Cheng Liping to help apply some herbs for the first time. It's much better during the day, you can make a fire, you can grill meat. I was tossed by mosquitoes for a night, and now I will take the treated frog under the knife. As usual, it was a barbecue, the fat frog had more heads than the squirrel, and the frog meat itself was more delicate, smooth and delicious, and the two of them ate with a round belly, so they began to stop and make other plans.

"No movement." Gemu said, "They will use mules and donkeys to transport supplies?" If they pass by the mountain road, we can't see it. ”

Cheng Liping was also thinking about this problem, he originally thought about the problem too simply, and thought that the other party would use helicopters and the like to transport supplies. But this peninsular country itself is underdeveloped, so it should not use such a high-end way. Before the thoughts were gone, the sound of spiral wings flapping suddenly came from the distant horizon. Cheng Liping and Gemu looked at each other, quickly jumped up to extinguish the fire, and covered the smoke with mud.

It was a helicopter, and from what it looked like, it was an old transport helicopter from the Soviet era. The plane was flying at a very slow speed, but it was very noisy, and the canopy around it was crooked by the spiral wings. Cheng Liping visually measured its flight speed, I am afraid that it is only sixty or seventy kilometers per hour, even if it is an ordinary car, it is much faster than it.

Of course, maybe the secret base was nearby, so it deliberately slowed down its flight. The helicopter circled over the hill next door for a while, and then flew towards the hill where Cheng Liping was. Then he stayed above for more than ten minutes, and then flew northwest again. Cheng Liping frowned and said, "It's Grass Island over there, what is it flying back for, could it be that it has already completed the supply task?" ”

Gemu shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily a supply, but if it's a reconnaissance, it's not certain." ”

Cheng Liping said: "It's not reconnaissance, they have reconnaissance planes, and they don't need such old planes to carry out reconnaissance missions." ”

Gemu frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go, go up and have a look." If it's a supply mission, there should be dropped supplies on it. ”

Cheng Liping had this intention, and when he saw Gemu say this, he hit it off immediately. However, if it is indeed a supply mission, it means that the soldiers of the secret base will soon come over to carry supplies, and if there is a fight, this fight will have to be fought if it is not fought. Killed a few soldiers in the last batch, Gemu has enough ammunition, and no one is afraid, but this is someone's territory, and a heavy machine gun mount comes directly, and it is useless to wear steel plates all over the body.
