Chapter 1258: Night Exploration of the Arsenal (2)
As the forest approached the edge, the trees gradually thinned. Outside the forest is a rocky beach, large and small stones reflecting a gray luster in the dim starlight.
A few small trees the size of a wrist stubbornly emerged from the rocks, scattered alone on the rocky beach and swayed in the wind. The rocky beach stretched straight ahead for a kilometer or so, clinging to a hillside that was gradually rising upward.
Wan Lin raised the telescope and looked up along the distant hillside, the hillside in front of him was extremely soothing, and it was a slope of twenty or thirty degrees, and stones of different sizes covered the entire hillside, and the hillside suddenly steeped up obliquely after extending more than two hundred meters upward, and the upper side was more than one hundred meters high, as if it was a black barrier that suddenly stood upright.
The whole mountain is three to four hundred meters high, stretching horizontally into the distance, as if it were a black barrier between the mountains and the forest, separating the two completely different geographical environments.
Wan Lin looked at the mountain in front of him with some confusion, and saw that the whole mountain was made of huge stones, and only a few plants could be seen on the hillside, and the same as the rocky beach at the foot of the mountain, only a few thin small trees stood crookedly on the hillside, Wan Lin slowly adjusted the focus on the telescope, and then he saw that the mountain in front of him was actually a bare stone mountain, the hillside was covered with large and small stones that had fallen from the top of the mountain, and the top of the mountain was pitch black, and those small trees were borrowed from the barren soil between the cracks in the stones, Stubbornly drilled out.
Wan Lin slowly moved the telescope, and said secretly in his heart: No wonder the forest ends here, it turns out that the mountain opposite is actually a stone mountain, not to mention trees, even weeds are rarely seen.
Suddenly, his telescope stopped, and several boulders halfway up the mountain caught his attention. At this time, Xiaobai and Qiuqiu, who were standing quietly at his feet, looked up and saw that his telescope stopped, and jumped from the ground to his left and right shoulders with a "whoosh", Qiuqiu raised one of his front paws and shook it against the boulder halfway up the mountain, and the blue light flashed in his eyes.
Wan Lin knew that he had found a place, and he stretched out his left hand to pat the ball, indicating that he knew. Then he moved the telescope to observe the terrain around several boulders, trying to find out if there were any guard posts around the other party?
Under the dim starlight, the hillside around the boulder was dark, and the boulders crouched on the hillside with hideous shadows. The small twisted trees around them, shaking their bare branches with the night wind, like demons with their capes dancing countless withered fingers, and the entire hillside presented an eerie scene.
Wan Lin looked at the terrifying scene in front of him and frowned slightly, this kind of mountain formed by pure stone is indeed extremely rare in this mountainous area, the climate here is humid, the temperature difference between the four seasons is not large, and the coldest season is also about ten degrees above zero, which is very suitable for the growth of plants, so this kind of stone mountain in front of him is indeed not easy to touch.
It is estimated that it was originally a volcano, and the mud that erupted 10,000 years ago formed this huge stone mountain, and has been continuously collapsing over thousands of years of weathering, resulting in the current scene.
Wan Lin observed for a while and didn't find a figure, but he was still a little unsteady in his heart, if this was the other party's arsenal, the other party should arrange personnel to be on guard nearby day and night. He turned his head to look at Xiao Bai on the side, pointed forward slightly, and then waved his hand again, indicating that he found that someone should not move, and Xiao Bai wagged his tail and threw himself out of his shoulder.
The ball on Wan Lin's other shoulder saw Xiaobai go out, and he immediately kicked his legs and wanted to pounce. Wan Lin hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, Qiuqiu had little experience with the enemy, and did not know Wan Lin's gestures very well, if it encountered an opponent, it could attack at any time, and at that time it would destroy the purpose of its covert reconnaissance.
Xiaobai quickly jumped up the opposite hillside in the thick of the night, and only a fast-moving small white dot could be seen from a distance. Wan Lin held the binoculars and did not observe Xiaobai, but stared closely at the hillside around Xiaobai. If there are guards on this side of the mountain, they will definitely be alarmed by Xiaobai and make a move.
Sure enough, as Xiaobai quickly swept over the boulders halfway up the mountain, a slight "bang" suddenly came from behind the boulders, and then half of his body flashed out from the side of the boulders.
Wan Lin held the night vision binoculars and carefully observed the other party's blurred figure, and from his movements, he could see that he was holding a rifle and aiming in the direction that Xiaohua had just passed.
Soon, the other party straightened up and put down the gun in his hand, and then disappeared from behind the rock. Apparently he saw Xiaobai and found that it was just a small animal passing by the hillside, so he immediately relaxed his vigilance and hid behind the rocks, and no one came out around the hillside.
It seems that the other party only set up a guard post near the entrance of the cave, and there are no guards in other places, which is basically the same as the security situation in the first arsenal.
Wan Lin nodded and put down the binoculars in his hand, the intelligence of several leopards reconnoitring during the day was very accurate, and behind that boulder should be the second cave where the arms were hidden.
Wan Lin looked around and slowly retreated with the ball into the dense forest behind him. It is late at night, and it is difficult for the other party to find themselves under the cover of night, but once the sky is bright, it is easy to observe the scenery on the edge of the forest from the uphill slope, and it is not suitable for their own concealed reconnaissance. So he prepared to retreat into the dense forest to find a place to observe covertly.
Wan Lin returned to the forest, climbed a large dense tree, established an observation point in the dense canopy, and then leaned comfortably against the branch with the ball and closed his eyes. He waited for the sky to dawn before taking a closer look at the hillside ahead.
More than half an hour later, Xiaobai quietly ran back from the forest. It ran from the hillside and disturbed the guards in front of the cave, then ran into the forest from the side, and made a detour from the forest back to Wan Lin. Wan Lin watched Xiao Bai jump onto the branch, reached out to hold it and Qiuqiu in his arms, and slowly turned the true qi on his body with his eyes slightly closed, resisting the cold in the forest.
For two days in a row, Wan Lin stayed quietly in the canopy, carefully observing the movements on the slopes outside the forest, and learning about the number of people in the cave and their general movements. From what he observed, there were a total of nine hunters in the cave on the slopes. It can be inferred that the size of the cave here is similar to the one I discovered a few days ago, and the people who carry the goods also come with cattle and ammunition on their backs, and they appear around early in the morning every day.
On the night of the third day, Wan Lin saw that the sky had darkened, and he pondered in his heart: The situation here is similar to the situation of the first arsenal, judging from the appearance of the people in the cave, they are also soldiers of the MD country who are grinding, their vigilance is not high, and their military qualities are extremely average.
