Chapter 8: Attack in the Mist
8. Attack in the fog
In the evening, fog began to rise.
The fog seemed to come out of the ground, and after a few minutes, the mist rolled like a veil of light wind, and then rose from the valley, and in a moment it covered the entire hillside, and after a while, the Andes Mountains in the distance disappeared into the mist, and after a few minutes, the mist rolled in with the wind, covering the whole area, and the sky gradually came to shore.
Mo Lei likes the mountains, he sometimes feels safer in the mountains, and every time he enters the mountains, it is like returning home. He had been at the plantation since he had been separated from Xie Jun in the afternoon, and it was nearly 6 o'clock in the evening when he left.
The fog was getting thicker, and people seemed to be walking in the clouds, and suddenly they couldn't see their fingers. The fog is like a purifier, like a huge screen, covering the sight, but also enveloping the sound of the mountains and forests, so quiet that you can hear your own pulse, and occasionally a mournful birdsong makes the empty mountain even more mysterious.
After spending the whole afternoon chatting with the workers on the plantation, collecting all kinds of information, Mo Lei strangely found that about a third of the Meng family's plantation had been completely deserted, and the workers told him that there was no longer anything to grow on the land, and according to the experience of the workers, it should be like a person who died of exhaustion, and the nutrients in the field had been emptied.
On the mountain road of more than ten kilometers, Mo Lei ran and stopped all the way, and it took almost an hour to walk back to the community, and on the way, he suspiciously copied the hillside and valley low several times, because he always felt that someone was following him.
"Bang", like the explosion of a car tire parked in a corner, the sound came muffled from the fog, Mo Lei was like a frightened leopard, quickly jumped to the left side of the road, silently parted the weeds on the side of the road, and approached the direction where the sound sounded.
Silence returned.
Mo Lei half-hunched his waist, one hand stretched forward to block the weeds that were bouncing back in the process, one hand was behind him to accumulate strength, his legs were paddling, and he rushed forward like a beast in the jungle, and then suddenly stopped.
Suddenly, a roar came from a few meters ahead, the lights pierced the darkness, cut through the fog, and a motorcycle rushed out of the trees diagonally opposite, made a half circle in the same place, and sped in the direction of the main road, probably because someone's plan failed, and he hurried away.
Mo Lei looked at the place, but it was dark and cloudy, and he could only remember from memory that the road was a 'U'-shaped intersection. He made a sharp right turn and quickly crossed the concrete road into the jungle opposite, and as long as he remembered correctly, he could definitely stop at the front of the motorcycle from this half-slope.
Who is so entangled?
The roar of the motorcycle came faintly from the left side of the hillside, Mo Lei also rushed to the middle of the hillside, the branches of the trees slapped his face with dew during the run, he didn't care about hiding the traces, he just rushed down in silence, the adrenaline rush brought a strange pleasure, like returning to the days of running in the jungle with weapons a few years ago.
Approach...... Approach......
The light shines from the col on the left, accompanied by the roar of the high-power motorcycle, getting closer and closer to Mo Lei, Mo Lei stands on the slope, the curved cement road under his feet, he is ready to pounce on the posture, and when the light is a few meters in front of him on the left, he calculates the amount of advance, jumps down the hill frantically, and kicks his legs fiercely towards the rider on the motorcycle.
There was a loud bang, and the motorcycle drove a few meters in front of it, then fell in the other direction, and Mo Lei also fell heavily on the hillside. He just held the ground with one hand, grabbed a dead leaf on the ground with his right hand, and pounced in the direction where the rider fell.
When the motorcyclist was kicked to the ground, his body was dragged forward by the motorcycle that slid on the ground for a few meters, and one left leg was pressed under the motorcycle, and he was struggling hard at the moment, trying to pull the bloody and blurred leg out from under the motorcycle, while groaning loudly, and at this time, Mo Lei had already pounced, threw away the dead leaves in his hand, first pulled the motorcyclist out from under the car, dragged it to the hillside on the right side of the road, and then stepped on the rider's injured leg with his toes, grinding it fiercely.
"English or Spanish?" Mo Lei asked in English without mercy.
The rider groaned and struggled desperately, muttering something in his mouth.
"Who sent you, and for what purpose?" Mo Lei increased the strength of his legs, bent down and reached for the motorcyclist's helmet, his head close to the rider.
"It hurts, Brother Mo." The driver suddenly howled loudly, as if he had just seen Mo Lei.
Mo Lei was stunned for a moment, untied the driver's helmet and pulled it up.
"Xie Jun? What the are you doing following me? ”
"Let go of me, let go, it hurts."
Mo Lei threw away the helmet, continued to exert force on his toes, and asked coldly, "It seems that you know more, tell me, who sent you?" What is the purpose? ”
"How do I know? I saw you running alone in the mountains in the afternoon, and it seemed that there was another person following you, and I ...... I'll just come over and take a look, it hurts, let go. Xie Jun struggled desperately, his eyes were frightened, and he broke Mo Lei's leg with both hands.
Mo Lei bent down and smashed his fist on Xie Jun's liver, Xie Jun was like a shrimp that had been drained of air, and after taking a breath of "hiss", his body curled up.
"You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise, I'll dismantle you in this barren mountain and wilderness, find a few places to bury you, and you'll disappear from here completely."
When Xie Jun came back to his senses, Mo Lei let go of his feet, squatted down close to Xie Jun's face, stared at his eyes, and finished his words word by word.
Xie Jun looked at Mo Lei's eyes that suddenly became empty and gray, and believed that he would definitely be able to do what he said.
"On the way back, I saw you walking this way alone, about 20 minutes later, I saw Caesar with a few people also passing in your direction, I couldn't find anyone to help, so I rode my own bike, and then followed them around, as soon as the fog came, I couldn't find them, I parked the car on the small lawn on the side of the road, and I heard the sound of you coming, I thought it was them, I fell when I was nervous, and then I ran away on my bike, I didn't expect you to rush out......"
Xie Jun almost finished his words in one breath, he knew that if he said the wrong word, he would definitely die here today.
After listening to this, Mo Lei thought for a few seconds, then slowly stood up and handed his hand to Xie Jun.
"Get up."
Xie Jun had palpitations and didn't dare to stretch out his hand.
"I believe in you. Get up. ”
"Oh, my leg hurts like it's been burned by fire, probably broken." Xie Jun reached out and grabbed Mo Lei's hand and used force, but when he found that his legs were unconscious, he moaned again.
Just now he had forgotten about the pain.
"It's not broken, it's just a bruise, I'll help you, there's still a few steps to go." Mo Lei patted Xie Jun's hand.
He believed a little bit in what Xie Jun said, because there were two reasons why he had to make up a lie improvised and make it up so quickly and completely, and say it in such a quick tone, one was that the lie had been practiced countless times and the liar himself believed that it was true, and the other was that the true version was like this, not to mention that this place was very close to the community, and if Xie Jun had such a deep scheming to make up a lie, it would be impossible for Xie Jun to choose to do it here. Therefore, Mo Lei chose to believe in the second point.
"Be careful." Xie Jun suddenly broke free of Mo Lei's hand and shouted.
