Chapter Twenty-Nine: Prairie Night
029 Chapter Twenty-Nine: Prairie Night
In the darkness of the night, two spotted hyenas crawled under the cover of the grass, and a small group of gazelles was napping 100 meters in front of them under a bread tree. The leading gazelle sensed the danger, and it raised its head and pricked up its ears, and looked around warily.
Suddenly, the creeping spotted hyena straightened up, looked back, as if he had seen something terrible, and ran away into the depths of the jungle with no regard for the prey not far ahead.
The leader of the gazelle was wondering why the spotted hyena had suddenly shown kindness and did not come to chase him, when suddenly he also sensed the danger, and an enemy more terrible than the spotted hyena was approaching, and sent a signal to wake up his own people, and ran away in the direction of the grassland.
In the jungle, there was a rustling sound, and two figures were moving forward carrying a stretcher. The tall and thin man who walked behind stumbled tiredly. He spoke: "Xiaoyu, why don't you stay up on the plane until dawn before leaving?" Isn't it more dangerous to run around in this forest? β
It turned out that they were Wang Xiaoyu and the moon. After the plane made a successful forced landing, the three of them hastily cleaned up and left the plane to enter the vast forest. Due to the injury of the current, excessive blood loss, and difficulty in walking, Wang Xiaoyu cut a piece of tarpaulin in the cargo hold and made a secondary stretcher on the spot, and carried her with the moon.
At this moment, I heard Wang Xiaoyu reply: "You also saw the national flag on the plane, it is the military transport plane of country M, there must be a GPS positioning system in it, and a black box, even if the plane is broken into pieces, they can find it soon, not to mention that we have successfully forced a landing?" If they had a military base nearby, the plane would have been found in a matter of hours. If we don't leave in time, are we still waiting for them to catch them in GuantΓ‘namo to accompany the al-Qaeda operatives? β
The moon was so tired that she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't help but complain: "If you want to go, you can also find a big road to walk, why do you want to climb the mountain?" Maybe we encounter a car on the road, and one night is enough for us to run hundreds of kilometers, isn't it safer? β
Wang Xiaoyu said: "Do you know where this is? The younger brother of country M is all over the world, maybe we will encounter the police as soon as we hit the main road, and then we will be thrown into prison, waiting for country M to come and pick up people. So we can't get in touch with the locals without understanding the situation. β
The moon was silent, and after a while, she said: "M country is really a-stirring stick, and we didn't mess with it, why do you have to get along with us?" β
Wang Xiaoyu said: "That's why I insist on taking away foreign girls, and I need to tie the bell to the bell." You recall that it is definitely no coincidence that since we met the foreign girl on the canopy ship, the agents of country M appeared, and we became terrorists. This chick should be the crux of the matter. β
At this moment, two lion roars came from the woods in front of him, and the startled Moon hurriedly put down the stretcher, took out the M911 pistol and aimed nervously ahead. They were found from the plane, each carrying an M911 pistol and three magazines for self-defense. They didn't bring the submachine guns and rifles on the plane, because at that time, the foreign girl reminded that if they went to the street with a long gun, they would be arrested by the local police if they didn't wait for the soldiers of country M to arrive, so they only carried a pistol.
Wang Xiaoyu was also taken aback, put down the stretcher, held a pistol in his right hand, and used a T6 strong light flashlight in his left hand to illuminate the woods in front of him. In order to avoid tracking, they had walked for more than an hour before, and they had not dared to turn on the flashlight.
The foreign girl lying on the stretcher also heard the lion's roar, struggled to sit up and said: "The flashlight is useless, hurry up and light the torch, the beasts are afraid of fire!" β
Wang Xiaoyu reacted immediately, put the T6 strong light flashlight in his mouth, took out a lighter, and lit a pile of thatch at his feet. The dark mountains and forests suddenly lit up, dispelling most of the fear in everyone's hearts.
Seeing that the fire was bright, the moon picked up a few dead branches beside it and made the fire bigger. Nervously asked, "Where are we?" How can there be lions here? β
Wang Xiaoyu said: "There are only wild lions in Africa and India on the earth, and we were brought on the plane in the north of cotton, and next to the cotton country is India, this may be India, right?" β
The girl on the stretcher said: "No, the C-130 transport plane has been in the air for seven or eight hours, to say the least, more than 6,000 kilometers, this should be Africa!" β
Wang Xiaoyu asked in surprise: "Did you fly for seven or eight hours?" How do I feel like I've been flying for a long time? β
Yang Niu said: "You were knocked out not long after you got on the plane, in order to prevent you from making trouble again, when treating you, they injected you with a sedative by the way, if it wasn't for the rain hitting your face, you might not have woken up now!" β
The moon also felt incredulous and asked, "Didn't you faint on the plane?" How do you know? β
The girl said: "I have woken up a long time ago, but I have no strength in my body, I can't win by beating them, I can't escape, I can't escape, I don't pretend to sleep, what else can I do?" β
Wang Xiaoyu said: "Okay, now is not the time to solve doubts, we must quickly find a safe place, otherwise it will become a lion's snack!" β
After saying that, he set his hands to make torches with thatch and dead branches, while the moon stood guard with a pistol. The foreign girl on the stretcher also took out an M911 pistol and held it in her hand, but her hands were weak and the muzzle of the gun was trembling slightly.
Soon, six torches about a meter long were tied with dead branches and bamboo, and the roar of the lions in the woods in front of them became more and more rapid, as if they were impatient with the intruders, and were ready to be driven away by force. Wang Xiaoyu didn't dare to slack off, lit a torch, put the other 5 horizontally on the stretcher, put the rope of the stretcher on his shoulder, held the torch, lifted the stretcher and left.
He did not dare to go further towards the woods in front of him, but went diagonally upwards towards the top of the hill, where there were many fewer trees, and herbivores did not like to go, and presumably the lion would not like such territory.
After walking for nearly an hour, the five torches had been burned, and only the last torch was left, Wang Xiaoyu stopped, put down the stretcher, and picked up the dead branches and lit a fire. It has been detached from the dense jungle area, and is full of abrupt rocks, low bushes in the east and west, and the fire shines on a long distance.
Suddenly, the moon pointed behind Wang Xiaoyu and said, "What's behind you?" β
Wang Xiaoyu was startled, thinking that there was a sneak attack by a wild beast, so he hurriedly turned around and sent out an M911 pistol aimed ahead, 40 meters away under a stone wall, there was a black shadow squatting there, which looked like a big black bear from the appearance. Hearing that the black bear is more crazy than the tiger and the lion, and a pistol may not be able to deal with the black blind man with rough skin and thick flesh, Wang Xiaoyu moved nervously towards the fire, and the hand holding the gun couldn't help but ooze cold sweat. The moon and the foreign girl were also so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe, and with six hands and three guns pointed at the black shadow in unison.
After a while, the black shadow was still motionless, Wang Xiaoyu was a little determined, the other party was not in a hurry to make a move, maybe he was afraid of the fire, and he might be scared away. After another two or three minutes of stalemate, the foreign girl also felt that something was wrong, and said in Chinese: "Use a strong flashlight to shine and see what it is?" He reminded Wang Xiaoyu at once.
A pillar of white bright light shined through the darkness and shot straight into the stone wall 40 meters away, but I saw a hole more than one person high and two people wide erected inside, and the cave was dark and secluded. I tried to turn off the flashlight, and a bear-like black shadow appeared under the stone wall. It was really a false alarm, it turned out that this bear-like black shadow turned out to be a hole. The three of them were worried that they couldn't find a safe place to spend the night, and this time they were sleepy and touched the pillow, so the two of them carried the foreign girl and broke into it with torches.
This cave is not long, seven or eight meters in appearance, from the entrance of the cave into the inside is much larger, there are about 10 square meters of space, three people can be regarded as finding a place to live. What is amazing is that the innermost part of the ground next to the stone wall is also covered with hay, and there is a thick layer, as if it is specially designed for people to sleep. Next to the haystack was a half-man-high crack in the rock, bending over to get into an adult. I shone it with a flashlight, and I couldn't see the bottom of the zigzag inside.
The moon asked suspiciously, "This can't be inhabited, right?" β
Wang Xiaoyu said: "Unlike human habitation, there are no traces of human activities, and there are no daily necessities. β
The moon said, "Can't you be a tramp?" The poor don't even have pants, where can they get daily necessities? β
Wang Xiaoyu said: "Even if you are a beggar, you have to have a broken bowl for begging, right?" You can always see cigarette butt cartons, candy packaging, instant noodle bags, etc., right? β
The moon remembered that the homeless people who lived under the bridge cave, as if they really had these things, and stopped talking. Putting down the stretcher, he sat on the haystack with his ass, and suddenly stood up again with a sigh, and said in his mouth: "What is the butt of the ass?" I shone a flashlight on the haystack, and reached under the straw to touch something, which was quite heavy. As soon as I pulled out half of it, I felt sticky in my hand, and when I saw that it was blood, I was so frightened that I quickly threw it away.
Wang Xiaoyu shone the thing on the ground with a torch, and only half of the thing was gnawed, and its head was earthy yellow like a little lamb. The foreign girl also saw it and said, "This is a gazelle, maybe the cheetah ate the leftovers and hid here." β
The moon was startled and said, "Did we break into the leopard's den?" β
As soon as the words fell, there was a low cry of a fierce beast at the entrance of the cave, and a vigorous black shadow swept past the entrance of the cave, probably afraid of the fire in the cave, and did not dare to pounce directly into it, but circled anxiously outside the entrance of the cave. Perhaps, it was still eating not long ago, and was frightened by the huge movement of the plane forced to land, and fled outside, and it took a long time to turn back and want to continue eating, but it did not expect that the cave where the food was hidden was occupied, you can imagine how annoyed it was.
At this time, the last torch has been burned for the most part, and it will be extinguished in three or five minutes, and the situation is critical. The moon and the girl took out their pistols and pointed them at the entrance of the cave, and Wang Xiaoyu immediately grabbed a handful of hay, wrapped it in a mess, lit it on the torch, and threw it out of the hole.
The flaming ball of grass flew out of the air for a few meters, then fell to the ground and rolled forward until it rolled two meters out of the hole. The outside of the dark cave immediately brightened, next to a rock ten meters away, a pair of green eyes stared at the entrance of the cave, and let out a low whining sound in his mouth, and saw the fireball rolling out of the ground of the hole, he was startled, and hurriedly jumped back, ran for ten meters, and turned to look at the entrance of the cave, kept spinning, as if there was something important in the cave, although there was a fire that made it fearful, but it refused to leave.
Wang Xiaoyu leaned over and picked up the gazelle that the moon threw to the ground, the moon thought he was going to throw the gazelle out to lure the leopard away, but he saw him ask for a dagger from the foreign girl, slice the gazelle's retreat and put it aside, and then cut the rest into three pieces, came to the cave with a torch, and threw the head and flesh of the three major gazelles far away towards the pair of green glasses in the dark, and then quickly ran back to the cave, lit a ball of hay and threw it out.
The pair of green glasses saw something thrown at them, instinctively dodged to the side, and immediately smelled the blood in the air again, and boldly came out of the darkness, and cautiously walked towards the pieces of flesh on the ground.
The three people in the cave finally saw the object, it looked like a big cat, about 1.5 meters long, slender, long legs, yellow hair all over the body covered with black spots, from the corner of the mouth to the corner of the eye There is a black stripe, and there is a short mane on the neck.
The girl exclaimed, "It's an adult cheetah!" β
Wang Xiaoyu said: "It's troublesome, maybe we really went to Africa." β
The moon doesn't care whether it's Africa or Asia, as long as there is no debt from the underworld, he asked curiously: "Aren't the cheetahs on TV hiding their food in trees?" How did you hide in a cave? β
Yang Niu said: "It is the leopard that will go to the tree, and the cheetah generally does not climb the tree. β
As he spoke, the cheetah outside the cave had already taken away a large piece of seven or eight catties of meat, and when the moon saw this, he said to Wang Xiaoyu: "Look, it's enough to throw one piece to it, and it's a waste to throw three pieces." β
Before he could finish speaking, the cheetah came back and searched the grass, and the moon's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Does it remember how much meat it hid?" No wonder you divide it into several sections, no matter how smart it is, it will not know that you have embezzled a leg! β
Wang Xiaoyu said: "We haven't eaten for a day, and we don't have much dry food, so borrowing it for seven or eight catties is enough for us to eat for two days." β
The cheetah, which was looking in the meadow, suddenly stopped, raised its head, and lowered its teeth at the dark woods. The three of them were amazed, and there were a few creepy "quacks" in the woods, and a pair of dark green eyes like two light bulbs appeared at the edge of the firelight, and then three pairs of green eyes appeared one after another. When the cheetah saw that it was coming to grab food, it bared its teeth and scratched, its mane on the back of its neck stood up, and it bowed its body to make a threat.
Suddenly, a lewd figure rushed out of the darkness and pounced towards the cheetah, the cheetah did not show weakness and raised its grip to meet the attack, crossed each other for only a moment, and each roared separately, like two martial arts masters fighting. Before the cheetah could stand still, a black shadow pounced out of the slanted thorn and bit the cheetah's buttocks. The cheetah hurriedly dodged, but it was still half a minute slower, and a bloody cut appeared on his calf. It was in pain, and jumped backwards sharply, trying to turn around and fight again, only to see the four black shadow monsters in front of it laughing and running cross-running, forming a fan shape to outflank it. Seeing that the general trend was gone, the cheetah pretended to scare off a black shadow, turned around and fled, jumped on the rocks quickly, looked at the large pieces of raw meat on the grass, and looked at the more and more black shadows in the woods, and left unwillingly.
When the signature "weird laugh" cry sounded, the three of them knew that the spotted hyena had arrived, and Wang Xiaoyu was so frightened that he threw two lit hayballs one after another, hoping to stop them. He knows that a hundred-pound spotted hyena can eat more than 30 catties of meat, and the three pieces of meat just now are at most twenty catties, which is not enough for a hyena to eat. There was a raging fire outside the cave, Wang Xiaoyu moved a hundred catties of boulders to block the entrance of the cave, and shouted to the moon: "Brother, help block the entrance of the cave!" The moon reacted and hurriedly lifted the boulder to block the entrance of the cave.
Not to mention the advanced science and technology of country M, 2 hours after the C-130 forced landing, an MQ-1 Predator drone first arrived at the scene and took pictures around the transport plane in the air, and they were surprised to find that a group of natives were carrying things on the plane with torches.
After another hour, the sky was about to dawn, and a Chinook helicopter with the Stars and Stripes flying over the scene flew into the scene, and 30 heavily armed soldiers disembarked from the plane, and they quickly surrounded the plane. When they boarded the plane, they found that the plane was empty, and everything they could take was taken away by the natives. Then two Chinook helicopters came, bringing 60 fully armed soldiers, some on guard, some searching nearby, turning the three-kilometer radius upside down.
Until noon, more than a dozen local military vehicles, loaded with loaded soldiers with live ammunition, led the soldiers of country M to surround the village of the Maasai and retrieve some supplies, but the target person to be found was not found.
The soldiers of country M were not reconciled, and interrogated the villagers who went to the plane to carry things one by one, and the villagers unanimously said that they had not seen anyone else, which brought the search to a deadlock.
The leader of the team is Captain Ryan, an agent of country M, who was lucky enough to land next to the city after parachuting from the plane, and was quickly picked up by a helicopter from country M. However, before his ass was hot, he was told that the C-130 transport plane had made a forced landing, and he was in a hurry to lead people to fly over.
It's just that I can't find anyone now, what should I do? At this time, the Predator drone in the air sent him a message that since the Predator drone flew to the scene, no suspicious vehicles were found within a radius of 100 miles. This is easy to understand, there are not many cars in Africa, most of this radius belongs to the jurisdiction of national parks, it is a wasteland with no roads, who will run into the mouth of a lion in the middle of the night?
However, this message reminded Captain Ryan that in this wasteland, it is impossible to run a hundred miles away in two hours without a car, and the target should still be in this area. Secondly, it is possible to search with drones! There are predators staring at the middle and high altitudes, but the middle and high altitudes are far away, and the resolution of the ground is not enough, and it is easy to ignore some details. Didn't you bring two "Big Crow" individual drones this time? Let's go out and find it out. But which direction is the focus? He looked around and saw a tall volcano, and he vaguely felt that the mountain was a good place for Tibetans.
Captain Ryan left a detachment behind to continue the investigation in the village with the local ZF Army, while he himself drove to the foot of the volcano.
