Chapter 97: Unwitting Encounter
Time, 2:20 a.m.
Location, 76, 44, civil communication signal tower.
This is a rare modern product on the grassland, around the signal tower, from afar, from afar, like a long dragon stretching UHV transmission line.
Transmission towers are set up every few hundred meters, and the steel and iron skeletons stand majestically.
The signal tower has only such a one, like a lone seedling, which is very solemnly used as a marker on the military map for commanders and fighters to use as positioning aids.
Under the tall signal tower, a small cement house with a distribution box placed on the mud. The sound insulation effect of the concrete building allows the Chengcai lying on the cement roof to sleep peacefully in an environment that is not noisy.
He was so tired.
After a day of running, a day of sunbathing, exhausted.
From the moment you start running, your eyes and brain are not idle. Chengcai has been familiar with the terrain along the road, and has been vigilant not to be shot by Xiao Chen. But after this day, he didn't even notice Xiao Chen's shadow.
So he chose this place and was ready to get some rest.
It's not actually the best sniper position.
According to the many sniper tutorials that Chengcai has read, this is too conspicuous. The roof, as a vantage point from which to occupy the vantage point, must be the focus of any beware. So if you want to play sniper, the best position is actually the hill 500 meters away.
But Chengcai had to choose this place again.
The night in the north is cold, and the distribution box in the cement room is always running, which can be used as the best heating location. Such a high heat can also mask the infrared radiation emitted by itself to the greatest extent.
Coupled with the height of the cement house, wild animals that can pose a threat to people on the grassland cannot come up, and they can completely ensure their own safety.
The warm concrete roof, the cool evening breeze, the stars and the cold moonlight in the silence of the sky, all this seems so pleasant.
This is a scenery that I have never seen in my hometown.
Even if Xiao Chen's latent threat was still shrouded in his heart, Chengcai felt that his thoughts were right.
Stay in the army, go further, and live a life that the village never had.
After sleeping for two hours, Chengcai felt that he had recovered.
But he wasn't going to give up this place.
Raise the low-light night vision device, and the situation within a radius of 400 meters can be seen at a glance. The wind blew and the grass was blowing, and it seemed that there was a rabbit flashing in the field of vision, if Xiao Chen was killed, Chengcai didn't mind running over to try his luck. I ate grass for a day today, and it would be great if I could have a meat meal.
It's just that where is Xiao Chen, who is thinking about him at this time?
Xiao Chen, who made Chengcai worried, was slowly approaching here at this time.
Although there are low-light night vision devices, the light is dim at night, and it obviously takes a certain amount of patience to find the traces that Chengcai has walked through. Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night could not allow Xiao Chen to accurately judge when Chengcai had passed, so he could only look for it while being vigilant.
A signal tower of more than fifteen meters came into view, albeit only out of sight.
Xiao Chen was a little excited.
After a busy middle of the night, he also felt a little tired at this time.
There may not be a home where there are signal towers, but there are definitely places where people can sleep with peace of mind.
Of course, Xiao Chen did not relax his vigilance because of his urgent desire. Entering a place about a kilometer away from the signal tower, Xiao Chen began to take turns with various night vision devices, and every time he arrived at a hidden position, he would first use a thermal imager to look at it, then use an infrared telescope to look at it again, and finally let the low-light night vision device scan it again.
According to the gradual increase of the effective distance, Xiao Chen ensured that he would not be discovered to the greatest extent.
It would be nice if there was a blister here, Xiao Chen was a little regretful.
If you have a blister, jump in and soak yourself in it, and then wrap yourself in sludge, at least for a kilometer, you can definitely ensure that the infrared radiation is minimized.
What is the level of the current thermal imager Xiao Chen knows very well, if he does such a body, he will definitely not be discovered from a hundred meters away.
Regret is regret, and the march must continue. Xiao Chen once again walked quickly in a place where the moonlight could not reach, and after a few minutes, he finally reached another hiding place.
Five hundred meters away from the signal tower, Xiao Chen raised the infrared telescope again.
There are no special markings in the field of vision, obviously within the observation range of the infrared telescope, there is no active infrared night vision device turned on, as for the thermal imager, it seems to see a lot of small animals moving frequently, within three hundred meters, everything is safe.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Chengcai will find a place to dig a pit and fill it in.
A thermal imager is not a teddy, it can't be air every second. The slightest obscuration will blind it. If you become a talent, you have the courage to practice with yourself, and obviously these aspects will be noticed.
Of course, Xiao Chen didn't believe that Cheng Cai dared to dig a hole and stuff himself into it without an observer.
Although there are few poisonous snakes on the grassland, there are many poisonous insects.
There are small things that go down the trouser leg and take a bite that can make people blister on their legs.
A person who has become a talented person who spares his life so much cannot do such a sacrificial thing.
Finally it was the turn of the low-light night vision.
Observing the situation so frequently, Xiao Chen felt that he had been overly cautious.
But when it comes to a sniper lurking in the middle of nowhere, you can't be too careful. Under the low-light night vision, the world is a different way. There is no simple hue like the previous two instruments, and it is not as brilliant as the daytime, everything is coordinated with grayscale and color to form a very quiet picture.
Xiao Chen's observation range was only in front and left and right, almost one hundred and eighty or ninety degrees.
The hillside head was the focus of his observation, because in this kind of place, there are more or less raised stones or mounds of earth, and if you want to hide, this is obviously a very good choice.
From high to low, from near to far, it seems that there is nothing special.
Wait, no.
When the night vision device swept near the signal tower, Xiao Chen suddenly had an awkward feeling.
Turn your vision back, as if looking for differences, carefully looking for the particularly awkward place in your heart.
It seems that a reflection has aroused his vigilance just now, but the reflection under the moon of the stainless steel material of the signal tower seems to be normal. Could it be that I am too careful?
Xiao Chen smiled dumbly.
It may be that I am really careful, I am cautious along the way, and my nerves have been tense.
At this time, I wanted to find a suitable place to rest, and I locked this signal tower in my heart early.
Maybe it's because the more you care, the more nervous you become, and you're a little too sensitive to everything here.
Well, that's probably what it looks like. Shaking his head and biting the tip of his tongue heavily, Xiao Chen was ready to continue looking at other areas.
PS: These days, I'm a little busy, Sanjiang owes a chapter yesterday, let's make it up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Tonight it will be at 7:10 and 8 o'clock for two more chapters. Tomorrow will be six o'clock on time, forgive me.
