Chapter 67: Something Goes Wrong

Waiss staggered in the wind and snow, while observing left and right, while muttering to himself: It is already the warm spring season, and the Monamolin Mountains are still in the bad weather of the cold wind turning into ice and the vast snow rubbing and rubbing, no wonder there are few people in a radius of hundreds of miles!

As when he had been evacuated from the camp, Lieutenant Leibold was at the front of the line, followed by the most inconspicuous gendarme under his command, whom the lieutenant called "Apple", then Weiss, the best performer in the unexpected encounter just now, and then the three crew members chosen by the lieutenant, the tallest one named Dunflyn, the shorter one named Lyles Lane, and the strong man who dragged the back to serve as "scavengers" named Booker Rabiot.

Bidding farewell to the large group, less than fifty meters away, they came to the position where the team was initially attacked. What caught my eye was bloodstains, discarded objects, disorganized footprints, and traces of rolling bodies......

The group was silent, letting the cold wind roar in their ears.

Suddenly, Lieutenant Leibald, who was at the front of the group, made a "pay attention to the right front" gesture, and looking in the direction he was pointing, Weiss saw a man lying on his back next to a large tree. Brown leather jacket, black leather boots, judging by the attire, it should be from the crew of the "Scout Orlein", not the military police led by Lieutenant Leeald.

It had been less than ten minutes between the attack on the team, and the man had been covered in a layer of snow. As Lieutenant Leebold said, if everyone returns to the Scout Orleine and then tries to rescue, the chances of finding a survivor are close to zero!

Weiss then saw Lieutenant Leibold make a second gesture, meaning "come forward to reconnoitre." April, who was following him, quickly stepped forward, while the rest of the men were on guard with guns and marched slowly.

Apple, who went to inspect the lying man, quickly made a thumbs down gesture.

The trace of luck that had just risen in people's hearts was instantly extinguished.

April picked up a Grumman M3.2D rifle from his own body, opened the bolt and checked it, and then carried it on his back. In case of danger, he must have the revolver in his hand as his first choice, and the rifle is only a spare.

Weiss, by contrast, had a rifle in his hand and a pistol at his waist.

In such an environment, the tremendous power of the "Grumman Burning Stick" and the deterrent power of the beast made him feel grounded.

Before April returned, Weiss temporarily took his place, following Lieutenant Leibold in his shoes.

The lieutenant was cautious with his gun in both hands, looking left and right.

When April returned to the team, the lieutenant suddenly stopped, raised his left fist in a fist, and signaled all the combat alerts.

Two dead hyenas appeared in sight.

This time, the lieutenant did not let April forward again, but gave him a tactical gesture of "cover me".

The two of them moved forward and backward towards the nearest hyena.

Weiss leveled his rifle, turned on the safe, and was ready to open fire at any moment, while watching the lieutenant and April through the corner of his eye.

I saw the lieutenant change to a gun in his left hand, and pull out a military dagger from the scabbard at his waist with his right hand, and walk next to one of the hyenas.

Judging by the exploding wound on its lower back, it must have died.

The lieutenant crouched down, his right hand moving.

A minute passed, two minutes passed, and he finally stood up, his right hand stained with a lot of blood.

Is this guy doing anatomy?

The lieutenant turned his head and looked at April, who was following him, with a serious expression, and there seemed to be some kind of eye contact between the two.

Is there something wrong?

Then, under the direct cover of Apple, the lieutenant went down to the other iguana. This time, Weiss had a better view, and could see that he had sliced open the hyena's belly with his dagger, reached in, pulled out an organ from it, dissected it, and examined it in detail.

Is that the liver, spleen, or stomach? It was impossible to tell the bloody ones, and besides, with Weiss's medical and biological skills, they couldn't tell the difference at all, but from normal logic, the lieutenant could only examine its stomach, and not be interested in their hearts, liver, spleen, and lungs.

After a while, Lieutenant Leibold wiped the dagger with the fur of the hyena, then got up and nodded at Apple, his lips moving a few times, but Weiss heard nothing.

These two guys are playing dumb riddles?

Just as Weiss's mind was full of doubt, Lieutenant Leebold threw a glance at him. It can be seen that his eyes are very complicated at the moment, and what Weiss can read from it is only that he has no ill will towards himself.

Things don't seem to be good......

"Keep going! Collect it when you return! The lieutenant's shout was both an instruction and an explanation to the two crew members of the team.

Picking up the weapons left in the snow, the group continued in the direction of the camp.

After walking more than ten meters, I saw the remains of two hyenas.

This time, Lieutenant Leebold didn't step forward to dissect again. It was assumed that the carcasses of the two hyenas in front of him were enough to answer one of his questions.

April suddenly patted the lieutenant on the shoulder and pointed to his left.

Behind a large tree, a black boot is faintly visible.

The lieutenant motioned for everyone to be on guard, and moved himself to investigate.

Weiss leaned over to April, shoulder to shoulder, back to back, on his side guarded.

Taking this opportunity, he poked April with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Hey, man, what did you just find?" ”

April ignored him.

Weiss continued: "If we are attacked by the hyena beasts again, it is very likely that none of us will be able to go back, so why don't we let everyone die?" ”

April still didn't speak.

Weiss thought for a moment, "Hey, man, the reason why we risked our lives to join this search and rescue team is because the goal is very similar, which is to rescue the survivors and get out of this hellish place alive together!" The more we know about what we're facing, the more likely we are to survive together, and I know that you have your problems, but I have the best of both worldsβ€”if what I'm going to say is correct, you move your right hand, and if you're wrong, you don't move...... Uh, you guys were just checking their stomachs? ”

April hesitated, then moved his right hand slightly.

Weston felt that there was a joke, so he said, "Their stomachs are empty?" ”

April didn't move.

"They have food in their stomachs?"

This time, April's right hand moved again.

At least one of the two iguanas had been killed by Weiss, before it had time to bite and devour the limbs of the soldiers (and even if it did, it hadn't reached its stomach so quickly). They have food in their stomachs, which means that they were not hungry before they attacked, which means that they ...... They don't attack a well-armed team because they're hungry.

What's that for?

Protecting the territory? Hunting for food? Tribal honors?

Stripped of these illogical speculations, there seems to be only one potential left......

Get you back!

Thinking of this, Weiss suddenly became enlightened, but then fell into a new doubt: could it be that because he had killed several of their companions two months earlier, as soon as they smelled his own scent, they came over and waited for an opportunity to attack? This seems unreasonable! Taking a step back, if they were really targeting, they should have attacked themselves desperately in the previous attack, but they didn't do that.

There must be a secret in this!

After a few moments, Lieutenant Lebold stepped back from the tree and said in a loud voice, "Keep going!" ”

Clearly, the man behind the tree had been martyred.

Weiss then heard April ask the lieutenant, "Is it our people?" ”

The lieutenant shook his head.

From this point of view, the remains of the two missing crew members have been found, and perhaps a few steps further will be able to find the two military policemen in the rear of the palace?

Before the group had taken a few steps, there was a sudden explosion in the forest.

"Right front!"

The lieutenant roared and hurried forward.

Everyone followed suit.

The grenades equipped by the Ulster Federal Army, which is what they call a spinball bullet, can be roughly divided into three series, one is an offensive type, which is characterized by high power and few fragments, one is a defensive type, which is characterized by many fragments, and the other is a melee type, or called a self-defense type, which is characterized by small size, easy to carry, and relatively small power.

This type of melee/self-defence grenade is issued to special service and gendarmerie units.

Behind the trees on the right was a depression, with a deep scratch on the downhill side, and a dense string of small dots, from which it appeared that someone had rolled down, and that a hyena was chasing after him.

On the way downhill, although Lieutenant Lebold tried to keep his balance, his steps were too fast, and the terrain under the snow was very irregular, and he quickly rolled a snowball, and April simply sat back and slid down with his buttocks.

It is dangerous to venture forward, but if you spread out, it will be even more troublesome to encounter danger. So, Weiss said hello to the three behind him, "Hurry up", and then a sliding shovel quickly slipped towards the bottom of the slope.
