Chapter 53: Cross-border Pursuit (2)
The route from which the Viper escaped was in the middle of a large mountain range that traversed the entire country. His goal now is to find the country's large and medium-sized cities, find the airport, and stay away from this place of right and wrong.
Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of wealth. The total annihilation of the "Flying Fox Mercenaries" this time made him completely discouraged from his original self-confidence. Defeated twice in a row by the opponent, and was chased like a lost dog. The harsh reality completely shattered the self-confidence of this "poisonous snake". He wants to quit the business altogether and find a beautiful place to spend the rest of his life.
He sat on the ground and opened the map, confirming that he was going to the city of Kunta, which was more than 400 kilometers away. This is the nearest medium-sized city with an airfield.
He walked more than 100 kilometers along the mountain road, and saw a big river winding at the foot of the mountain, he happily ran to the river, threw away the equipment on his body, and plunged into the river naked.
It has been more than 20 days since he started fleeing, and he has not taken a sip of water, let alone washed his face and rinsed his mouth.
It took him a long time in the water before he showed his head. He shook the drops of water from his head and let out a long breath. He knew that if there was a river, there would be people's homes, and that there would be delicious hot meals, and that he would be able to reach the city of Quinta by walking down the river. His hard days were coming to an end.
He took a good shower. After bathing, he went into the river, caught a big fish with his bare hands, then climbed to the shore and cleaned up the fish with his saber, found some dry wood from the river and lit it, and lay naked by the fire, stretched the saber with the fish into the fire, and was ready to enjoy a delicious meal of grilled fish......
After eating the grilled fish, he nodded with satisfaction, and he was finally ready to eat a cooked meal. In the mountains of China, he did not dare to make a fire because he was afraid of the fire and smoke attracting the pursuing soldiers, and now that he had entered another country, he did not believe that the Chinese soldiers dared to cross the border to continue the pursuit, and he no longer had any scruples.
He got dressed, packed his gear, and walked downstream along the river.
More than three hours after the "Viper" left the river, Wan Lin and Xiaohua also chased it to the river. He looked around and found the ashes left by the "poisonous snake" when he grilled the fish, and he touched the ashes, and there was a hint of heat. He smiled, and he was already not far from his goal.
He also took off his clothes and took Xiaohua into the river to wash it happily, while Xiaohua drilled up and down in the water to catch the fish, and the small fish went directly into his mouth. After it was full, it went into the deep water again, directly bit a big fish weighing four or five catties with its mouth and rushed to the shore, put down the fish and yelled at Wan Lin.
Wan Lin heard Xiaohua's call and came to the shore, saw the big fish on the stone smiling at Xiaohua, pulled out the dagger from the scabbard to clean up the fish, and then cut it into fillets and put it directly in his mouth. He didn't make a fire, and he didn't want the rising smoke to alert his opponents.
"Viper" walked down the river for several hours. Gradually, he saw the crowd. His fully armed outfit naturally attracted attention, but the country had always been in the midst of war, and the multinational military was stationed all year round, so his outfit did not cause a lot of fuss.
In the distance, he saw a small village ahead. It was almost evening, and the smoke of cooking rose in the village, and the smell of rice could be smelled from afar. Hungry, he ran to a relatively wealthy village and knocked on the door.
The courtyard gate opened, and a local man who looked like a little daughter-in-law appeared in front of the "poisonous snake". The little daughter-in-law suddenly saw the heavily armed "poisonous snake", and took a few steps back in surprise, not knowing what to say. "Viper" hurriedly said in English, "I want to buy something to eat", but the other party just shook his head, obviously not understanding his words.
"Viper" quickly repeated it in several languages, including French, Thai, and Malaysia, but the other party still shook his head. Years of hard work around the world, so that "Viper" can be multilingual. But he spoke all the languages he knew, and the other party didn't understand them. He could only gesture with his hand to his mouth to indicate "I want to eat", and then took out a hundred dollars bill from his bag.
The other party finally understood what he meant, looked at the gun he was carrying, and led him into the house with some fear. In the house, an elderly couple and a child of two or three years old were sitting at the table eating. The hungry "Viper" saw the table full of food and rushed to the table one by one, put the dollar in his hand on the table, picked up a bowl of rice and pulled it desperately into his mouth. Frightened, the old couple quickly picked up the child and hid aside.
The little daughter-in-law said something to the old couple, walked to the table and put away the dollars, then went to the next room and brought out a dustpan of dry food and put it on the table, and led the old man and the child to hide in the yard.
The "viper" devoured the full table of food, and he went out into the courtyard with a full burp and gestured to the young woman to sleep. The little daughter-in-law shook her head, and even made a gesture to show that her husband was not there and could not stay overnight.
When the "Viper" saw that the young woman refused to stay overnight, a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart, and the expression on his face became even more gloomy. He resisted the urge to draw his gun, pondered for a while and weighed the pros and cons, and then silently turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate. Seeing this heavily armed man with a gloomy look walking out, the people in the courtyard let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly closed the courtyard door.
According to the usual style of "Viper", he really wanted to kill the people in the courtyard just now, and then lie down on the bed and sleep beautifully. But thinking that he was about to quit his sniper career and live a normal life, and he couldn't cause trouble anymore, he suppressed his impulse.
He walked out of the yard and thought for a while, then returned to the courtyard, took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to his little daughter-in-law, gesturing to buy some food. The young woman trembled and took the dollar, went into the house, filled a bag with dry food, bacon and other food, and turned around and handed it to him. "Viper" looked at the food in the bag, nodded in satisfaction and left the village.
He continued downstream along the river. Away from the village, he went into the mountains and found a sheltered stone where he lay down.
At this time, Wan Lin also approached the village, and when he saw the people not far away, he stopped. He secretly pondered to himself: This time he came out to fight across the border without any documents, and besides, he was in a foreign country and did not understand the language. It's better to look for less trouble.
He left the river and walked into the mountains not far away. In the mountains, far from the village, he found a small cave with an entrance of about 30 centimeters. He observed the surrounding environment, in front of the cave entrance is a clearing more than 30 meters long, and further ahead is the cliff, there is a huge rock more than 30 meters on the right, and there is a large stone about one meter high six or seven meters away on the left. He muttered, "Good place." The location is secret, the entrance to the cave is low and not to be discovered, and there are shelters on both sides. Just rest here for a night and recharge your batteries."
