Chapter 57: A Dangerous Distance
57. Dangerous distance
The rapid march in the jungle in the early morning, for Mo Lei, this is just a reliving of the purgatory-like life of the previous years. But for Gale, even though he had lived in the area for many years and knew a lot of mountains and valleys, it was a torment for him to run wild in the dark of night and not make too much noise.
The only good thing was that the nights weren't as hot as the days, but Gail's face was still torn by the branches. A faint mist came out of the dead leaves in the ground, the branches were wet by the fog of the early morning, the hot pain on the body, the pain of the wound on his face, let him breathe in the cool air, the ground was covered with a thick layer of pine needles and dead leaves, stepping on it was soft, he could only raise his legs and land lightly, and if he was not careful, he was likely to fall into an old pit, or trip over a dead branch and fall a dog to eat.
But when he saw the black image on the side of him was a sturdy cheetah, he held back the pain and carefully followed it, he kept wondering if he could learn something by spending more time with this lone killer.
It's a pity that this guy doesn't like to talk much, as soon as he speaks, he asks questions, and he answers a few words when he wants to answer his own questions, and even if he answers, he says something ambiguous.
Mo Lei buried his head in the woods, for the first time he felt that it was not difficult to run in the dark jungle without night vision goggles, in such a visual environment, wearing night vision goggles can only see about 100 meters at most, in the dense forest, there are all kinds of plants when the raised boulders, hills block the view, it is better to rely on their own sense of smell and hearing.
In fact, human beings have the potential and intuition of beasts, but they need the inducements of certain circumstances.
took Gail to the direction of the Chinese community, but Mo Lei did not take a straight line, but followed the tortuous route used by the army, and every ten minutes, he turned back a small distance. To be honest, he just couldn't trust Gale in his heart, and of course, when he got to Bogotá and got what he needed, he might be able to change his opinion of Gale.
Maybe.
After walking the last few hundred meters, Mo Lei spent at least half an hour, the clouds and mist in the sky had slowly dispersed, and the wide star belt was full of dense stars, but the morning mist also slowly rose from the hillside and slowly dispersed in the mountains.
Mo Lei began to become cautious, seeing things in the wild at night is the same, but he believes that what he has learned in training and proven in practice - the human eye, can only see things that can move at night, unless that person is wearing night vision goggles.
Therefore, from now on, he must take every step of the way, the enemy is not an ordinary soldier, and occasionally carelessness will take his own life.
Climb up a hill from their right front and turn down the hill to reach the main road. Mo Lei saw it, about 150 meters away from him, there was really a person, but he should not be wearing night vision goggles, and he was walking over the mountain beam. The figure reflected in the sky, as tall as a tree branch, was slowly and somewhat vigilantly making its way through the low woods, with a weapon in hand, and he was between the paths where Mo Lei was going.
It seems that those mercenaries are still arranging personnel in the same place, beware of Mo Lei's sudden turnback, but at this point in time, it happens to be the most vulnerable time for people's psychology and physiology, and those non-professional soldiers are tired enough after a night of tossing, and their vigilance should be greatly reduced.
Gesturing to stop Gail, Mo Lei pulled out his dagger and followed Glock 17, moving to the right of his own, avoiding the direction his target was walking in order to reach his back. He is moving much faster now than he had just taken Gail, a fine tradition of the Chinese military to replenish his strength on the march.
This is an area that Mo Lei is very familiar with, it took a long time to go around in this mountain forest during the day, Mo Lei chose a route with the least obstacles at the moment, his steps were very light, and he approached the guy like a ghost in the dark night, he quietly moved forward, squatted down and looked at the target, and then looked at the path where the target walked, and after a minute, he arrived at the right position.
The guard guy walked back slowly, he walked very slowly, his gait was very light, but the posture was very strange, like a child exploring with his legs, Mo Lei took a while to realize that he had walked back, it seemed that this guy was not stupid, but his gun was on his shoulder again, and he looked up at the hillside on the other side.
The man stood in place and watched for a while, and came in the direction of Mo Lei, at first it was a vague moving shadow, gradually becoming clearer and clearer, and walked to a place less than 2 meters away from Mo Lei, Mo Lei first held a pistol and kept aiming, and when the guy approached, he put away the pistol, jumped out of the hiding place, and landed behind the guy.
Stretching out an arm to cover the other party's mouth from behind, the dagger in Mo Lei's hand slashed across the opponent's neck and pulled back and forth twice, he heard the sound of blood donations flowing out of his neck, and the person under the arm just twitched a little, and then lost his life.
Gently placing the corpse in his arm on the ground, Mo Lei put away the dagger, bent down to possess it, and took off the AK47 on the corpse with his backhand.
Mo Lei raised his hand to signal, Gail also walked over from the other direction, in the night, he didn't see the corpse on the ground, just smelled the bloody breath, Mo Lei reached out and patted him on the shoulder, intending to hand the spear in his hand to Gail, but Gail shook his hand and refused. Mo Lei understood what he meant, if he met the enemy and two people fired at the same time, the sound of automatic rifles and pistols would indirectly tell the mercenaries that Mo Lei still had companions.
Mo Lei simply dismantled the AK47 and threw it in the grass in three or two strokes, although the weapon is good, but it is inconvenient to carry it and meaningless, in the mountains and forests, sometimes the knife is more convenient and suitable than the bullet.
"I think there's still someone." Gail whispered in Mo Lei's ear, and the hot air exhaled from his mouth blew on Mo Lei's face.
Mo Lei didn't speak, just pressed his shoulders and motioned for him to bend down, Gail was very tall, about 190 centimeters, and suddenly standing up and walking upright in the mountains and forests was equivalent to a moving target.
Mo Lei knew that there must be someone nearby, and the unlucky corpse underground was just a dead ghost placed outside, so the location he chose was particularly tricky, and it was a dead end from any commanding height, but now it was more difficult to find out which hidden person.
Of course, if he didn't take Gale seriously, he could have used Gail's death to locate the guy who was hiding, but he couldn't do that, whether Gale was a good guy or a bad guy, at least, he didn't show malice towards himself, but beat him half to death.
They guessed correctly, less than 400 meters to their left, a sniper was lying on a flat rock, a PSG-1 was placed in front of him, with a night vision sight mounted on it, but his vision was blurred, and the steaming fog from the hillside made the night vision goggles look like a sauna, a green patch.
"You run back, just send me here, and then it will be inconvenient for me to take you." Mo Lei possessed and whispered to Gail.
"However, I have a mobile phone that I want to give you."
"Where? I'll pick it up myself. ”
"I'm hiding more complicated." Gail's voice sounded a little ashamed, "In my town residence, under the windowsill, only this mobile phone number and the special mark on the SIM card will make your friends in Bogotá trust you." ”
Mo Lei was stunned, this stupid didn't say anything for a long time, and only now did he tell himself that this matter was still so troublesome.
"Is there any other way?" After holding it for a long time, Mo Lei asked, and he almost got angry.
"I'll call him and explain your height and looks? With your request? Is that going to be done?" Gail thought about it and said his method to ask Mo Lei's opinion.
Of course, Mo Lei understood what Gail meant, Gail was worried about revealing his height and appearance and other information to the other party in advance, if the other party received a notice from his enemy before this, then He might betray himself, and he would be in danger if he applied for documents in the past.
It's not that I'm afraid that the other party will set up a trap, it's just that I will kill myself recklessly, but if something goes wrong with the witness, where should I find another one next?
"Thank you, Gail, it's okay, just tell him, by the way, that's the only one you know?"
"There's another one in Medellin, this guy in Medellin still has the arms you need, but it's too far from here, you remember the number I said, remember it." Gail read out two numbers to Mo Lei, Medellin's still landline.
"I'll call them one by one, by this afternoon." After Gail heard Mo Lei read it twice, he began to retreat down the slope, "Pay attention to yourself, Brother Killer, you have to stay alive to help me avenge it." ”
"Don't move." Mo Lei suddenly reached out and pressed him.
A rustling sound came from the right, and at this moment the fog became thicker, and the starlight disappeared into the night sky again, and a few meters away it was pitch black, and the sound of insects came slowly, as if floating out of the ethereal mist, and the dew falling from the leaves around the foreign objects seemed to be clearly audible when the foreign objects were traveling.
Mo Lei could hear from the height of the voice that it should be a human or a bulky beast.
Pulling out the dagger and changing the semi-lying position to a squat, Mo Lei quietly listened to the sound of getting closer and closer, one hand still in front of Gail.
