One hundred and seventeen corpses
Entering the desert, the footprints of the devil are clearer.
These are twelve devils, whose footprints are clearly visible in the desert, sometimes walking side by side and sometimes moving forward in a straight formation, without bending, straight to the south.
Chu Ergou said, judging from these footprints, there has been no wind in the desert for two or three hours, otherwise it will only be a few minutes, and the wind and sand will be able to cover up the footprints of the devil cleanly.
Chu Ergou asked everyone to march seven or eight meters away from the devil's footprints, always keeping a distance of two parallel lines from the devil's footprints, beware of the devils planting mines, once they found that there were devils' footprints a few meters ahead, immediately stop to prevent the mines.
Yan Zhi took out the telescope and looked at it in three directions, the desert was golden, some places were very flat, as far as the eye could see, and in some places, there would be sand dunes of different sizes every one or two miles or even dozens of meters to block the view.
Chu Ergou's sense of smell in the desert is more sensitive than that of dogs, so he has the reputation of Ergou, as for what his original name was, everyone has long since remembered, and he never mentioned it himself.
Chu Ergou is not very old, but poverty carves furrows on his face, and his back is a little bent, making him look premature, but his muscles and bones are very old, and he belongs to a soldier with good endurance and tenacity.
Chu Ergou's head was a little alopecia, so he simply cut off his bald head, at this time he took off his helmet, his hair has grown a little these days, and alopecia areata looks more obvious, a bit like a bird's nest in the east and west.
Chu Ergou rushed forward, Xu Zheyou followed twenty meters behind him, everyone walked forward with them for twenty minutes, the sunset became a little red and a little scary, looking a little weird, only the small half of the face of the sun left on the horizon was still swaying the afterglow of the setting sun, and the light gradually dimmed, giving this endless desert a bit of weird color.
Suddenly, Chu Ergou's right arm stretched out at the level of his shoulder, his elbow joint was at ninety degrees, and he stretched out his five fingers to make a gesture of discovering the enemy's situation.
Everyone immediately lay down on the sand.
Although there is no cover on the sand, lying on your stomach will always make your target much smaller.
Chu Ergou knelt on one knee and said, "There are blood stains ahead." The situation is not good. Then, like a hound, he found the devil's footprints, got down on one knee and looked at the sand, stayed for a while, and continued to crawl forward on the sand, as if looking for something.
Yan Zhi walked to the place where Chu Ergou was kneeling on one knee just now, looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw a few drops of blood.
Still lying on the sand, several Americans began to pull out their binoculars and found nothing.
After a while, there was still no movement.
Marching in the desert is fair for both sides of the world, and when the other sees you, you can easily spot the other side.
Yan Zhi followed Chu Ergou's footprints and walked forward for more than twenty meters, bypassing a small sand dune the size of a small yurt, and on the other side of the hill, more than ten meters away, there was a corpse of a devil lying on his side.
This devil was shot in the right chest, the blood stains have dried up, and the sand around him has traces left by spasms before death, it seems that he was directly pierced through the chest by a 50×6.5 mm five mm arisaka bullet, bleeding too much, causing his eyes to be unable to close before dying, and he opened quietly, as if he was looking into the distance, and seemed to be looking at Chu Ergou and Yan Zhi.
Yan Zhi's scalp was numb, and he felt like he wanted to pee.
The devil's posture is a little weird, a pair of empty eyes staring at people in the afterglow of the setting sun, very terrifying.
The wound on the devil's chest was directly pierced by Xu Zheyou's sniper rifle, and there was no big hole in the back, such an injury could still be alive if it was treated in time, but the twenty-mile forest march exhausted his physical strength, and he died of blood shortly after entering the desert.
At this time, Nie Yuanfeng and Wu Zhonghua also followed, squatting behind Yan Zhi, and when they saw the death of this devil, they all felt a little crazy.
Yan Zhi and the others observed the safety of the surroundings, and then got up and prepared to come forward to check.
"Don't go over." Chu Ergou's face suddenly changed and shouted, "Stay where you are, don't go over." You see, the body of this devil is a different color, it is pale gray, and there is sand floating slightly under the corpse. I estimate that underneath the corpse, there is a good chance that there have been a lot of corpses. ”
Yan Zhi's scalp is numb, is this Nima's real version of the tomb robbery diary?
Chu Ergou shouted loudly: "Let's get out of here quickly, this is the trap left by the devil for us, everyone immediately run forward, the faster the better." ”
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the coagulated blood droplets were almost mixed with the sand, even so, Chu Ergou could still see the blood droplets in the fine sand, which was very remarkable, and he could judge that there were corpses dozens of meters away by the blood droplets, which showed that he did have something extraordinary in the desert.
Sure enough, before Chu Ergou's words fell, the sand under the corpse actually began to move, and the ground seemed to have a lot of unknown things wriggling at the bottom of the sand.
Yan Zhi, Nie Yuanfeng, and Wu Zhonghua also saw that the sand under the devil's corpse was wriggling a little weird, and they immediately had the urge to run.
Yan Zhi's scalp exploded and shouted: "Run!" Xu Zheyou, led everyone to run, and ran forward ten meters away from the footprints left by the devil. Run, we'll break off. ”
Xu Zheyou took the lead and ran forward, and everyone followed closely. Although they didn't see the corpse of the devil, and they didn't see anything unusual about the corpse, Yan Zhi was right to let everyone run, and Yan Zhi's voice was a little frightened, which everyone had never heard.
Although running in the desert was tiring, it was much better than in the jungle, and the soldiers' physical strength had been well recovered, and after ten minutes, everyone had run a long way, and even the sand dunes were no longer visible.
At this time, the setting sun had already fallen into the western horizon, and there were still a few strands of hair flying on the horizon, emitting the last glimmer of light, and in less than twenty minutes at most, the entire desert would be plunged into darkness.
Yan Zhi caught up with everyone, then took out the binoculars and looked at the sand dunes with corpses.
Because the sand dunes are too short, the light is relatively dim at this time, and the sand dunes can no longer be seen from a distance, let alone the corpse of the devil, which should be integrated with the sand.
Everyone was lightly armed, and they ran out at least two or three kilometers in ten minutes, and the footprints of the devils more than ten meters away on the side were still stretched forward and clearly visible.
But Yan Zhi always felt that the devil's footprints were a little weird, but where the weirdness was, he couldn't say for a while.
Chu Ergou, Wu Zhonghua, Nie Yuanfeng, Yan Zhi, and the four of them walked last.
Yan Zhi saw that when they were running just now, Nalan Xinghui and Ava's steps were very light, and they ran with all their strength with the male soldiers, and they didn't lag behind at all.
Seeing that everyone slowly slowed down, Chu Ergou said: "Don't stop, let's go, just now I saw that the number of corpses under the corpse of the devil is not very large, but as long as a corpse corpse appears, it means that the smell of the corpse of the devil has attracted the corpses from afar to gather here, and there will be more and more corpses." Although the corpses only clean the carcasses of dead animals or dead animals, if they gather too many and the carcasses are not enough for them to scavenge, they will attack people or animals. Moreover, many of us have a bloody smell from the wounds on our bodies, which can easily be targeted by corpses. So we can't stay, we must continue to the south, and wait for the corpses to clean up the corpses of the little devils and disperse, so that we can be regarded as getting rid of the threat of the corpses. ”
Everyone was just about to stop and take a breath, but when Chu Ergou said this, they hurriedly quickened their pace and walked forward.
It's a hundred to be bitten to death by a bullet on the battlefield, but if you are bitten to death by a corpse that sounds terrible, it may be regarded as the worst way to die in the world.
People are strange creatures, and the more they frighten themselves, the more they want to know what is going on.
Li Dazui asked, "Ergou, what is this corpse?" ”
