This night was a lot harder than last night. The reason for this is that I started to have a fever. Perhaps because of the wound, the whole person began to deteriorate after nightfall, and began to have a low-grade fever. And shortly after nightfall, below our resting place, a group of people quietly walked over.

Of course we can't see this group at night. It's pitch black in the mountains, and there may have been moonlight before, but there wasn't even moonlight tonight. I just know audibly that there are people who have walked through the mountain path below us.

Ahmed and I listened with our glasses wide open in the darkness of the night. It's a strange state, and I know that closing my eyes and using my ears carefully at this time will make my hearing more sensitive. But if there is a group of enemies walking a short distance below you, I don't think many people will be able to close their eyes and use only their ears, right? Even if you can't see it at night at all, you will feel safer with your eyes open.

The people who walked through below didn't make much noise. The steps were not hurried or chaotic, and the steps sounded light and clear, suggesting that they were probably looking at the road and seeing the situation clearly, and they were moving rather than discrediting it.

They didn't speak, at least not from the time we noticed them until they passed below us and disappeared into the other side of the mountain. Judging from the footsteps and the length of the group, there were probably a dozen to twenty of them, probably about the same number as the American team I encountered during the day, or even less. In terms of identity, as far as I can tell, they should be Americans, and I don't think there are any TLB forces operating in this area at this time.

After these people walked away, the sound died down completely. I let out a long sigh of relief and slowly lay down. Ahmed reached out for the kettle beside me, fed me water, and whispered in my ear, "You have a fever." ”

"I know. This is not surprising. Tomorrow we move on, and it looks like it's Yankee territory. We're going to have to do what we've said before we get to find people or our people before we run out of supplies. I whispered.

Hearing me say this, Ahmed stopped talking, and the two of us began to rest. It was a very difficult night, and people couldn't sleep after a fever, and they were always in a state of confusion and dreaming from time to time. It made me very tired from the night, not only uncomfortable, but when I was woken up by Ahmed, it was as if I had never slept at all, and my mental state was very poor.

Ahmet woke me up and gave me some water, and when he was done, he looked at me and said, "Can you go like this?" I see you're a lot worse than you were yesterday. “

I looked up at him and said, "If you can't go, you have to go." Unless I want to die here. I struggled to stand up against the big rock beside me, put my rifle on my back, picked up the bread Ahmed had given me, and nibbled on two bites. Now I have no appetite at all, and my taste is not very good, and I really feel like I'm eating dirt when I eat a cake that has no taste and a lot of sand.

But no matter how bad it is, I have to eat it, I have to try to maintain my strength, there is still a way to go. You have to keep going.

After nibbling on two palm-sized tortillas, Ahmed and I hit the road again. Continue to walk forward, in the direction of the mountain. After walking for about two hours, the road became more and more difficult, and Ahmed told me that we were now officially in the mountains. And not long after he said this, we again found the bodies of two TLB fighters on the way forward.

We stopped, and Ahmed quickly went over to examine the body as I raised my gun. He looked at the two bodies separately and looked at me and said, "They've been dead for two days. It is estimated that he was chased all the way to the rear and was broken. ”

I looked at the two corpses, they didn't have weapons with them, just two corpses. I asked, "Is there anything useful about them?" ”

Ahmet shook his head, stood up and said, "No. Nothing. Someone should have cleaned them up. “

"Okay." I put away the gun, which is getting heavier and heavier for me now. I looked at Ahmed, who was a little disappointed, and said, "At least it shows that we are not going in the wrong direction." And our people should all be alive. “

"That's right." Ahmet nodded, and after one look at me, he continued, "Shall we take a break?" I don't think you're even going to be able to lift a gun. “

"I want to rest... But no... Wait until noon. I said.

Ahmed didn't object, but took out the kettle and handed it to me, "Drink more." Maybe you'll feel better. After I took the kettle, he looked at the road in front of him, "There should be a village on such a large mountain." Those TLBs won't run into no-man's land, they can't drink the wind with stones. ”

"You mean we'll find the village soon?" I asked.

"Yes. Find the village and you'll be treated. Now that's what you need most. Ahmed took my rifle and put it on his back, "Do you want to keep going?" ”

"Let's keep going... I nodded, and continued to take a step forward. The two of us continued to walk out into the mountains.

Actually, I don't have much hope of finding a village, and I think the people who found us are more reliable than looking for them. My reason is very simple, this is already a war zone, and even if there are villages here, then it is estimated that they should be under the control of the coalition forces if they were not destroyed by the war, right? In either case, we could not get much help from the village. And what about our people? For now, they should all be alive. As soon as we enter the mountains, I think we should be able to find them soon. After all, their gang also needs to be resupplied and recuperate, but this may also require a bit of luck.

When it was close to noon, I couldn't hold on, so I just stopped and sat down. When I sat down, I moved a little too much, and the wounds on my body hurt so much that I broke out in a cold sweat. I knew it was going to happen before I sat down, but I couldn't walk anymore. The feeling at this moment is different from the usual tiredness under normal circumstances, and it is a feeling that makes you feel that your body is not carrying weight and not getting enough oxygen. It's as if your heart and lungs can't move your whole body. This feeling makes you want to stop desperately, and you don't want to move except to breathe.

After I sat down, Ahmed, who was walking in front of me, quickly stopped and touched my head, looking worried, and said, "You're burning more and more." ”

"Really?" I tried to catch my breath a few times, "Rest for a while... Let's rest for a while, and then we'll continue walking. ”

The ammunition is exhausted, the food is gone, and there is no 。。。。。
