In the middle of the night, dark clouds and drizzle fell, and the valley that had been noisy for a day was quiet, and in the dark night there was a sleeping monster, mysterious and terrifying, the searchlights flashing from time to time, the patrol team, and the garrison in the fortifications, all of which indicated the strength of this monster.

On a hillside, the mountain spring flows down the slope, and the sound of the noise is far away, which seems very abrupt in this quiet wood, and on a raised stone platform, Yang Zheng squats quietly on the ground, carefully observing the situation below the mountain, and his body is clothed in a simple camouflage woven with branches and grass.

Ah Mei also squatted next to her in a similar disguise to observe, looked down curiously, and said in a low voice: "Brother, it's not that there is no defense here, but the defense is hidden, and those houses are full of bad people." ”

"Ahead is like their lodging camp, there are hundreds of people stationed, no wonder the defenses here are a little looser from other places, only from this side can you see, so many people live here is enough, but there is no road in the woods elsewhere, it takes time to open the way, we can only go down the stream." Yang Zheng said in a low voice.

"Also, when will it go down?" Ah Mei said in agreement, while looking around, the woods were pitch black, overgrown with all kinds of shrubs and thorns, and there was indeed no way out.

Yang Zheng observed for a while and whispered, "Follow me." ”

Saying that, Yang Zheng bowed his body and walked down, the visibility was extremely poor, so he could only follow the sound of the water and grope down, walking very slowly and carefully, asking in a low voice from time to time, so as not to lose her direction.

About 50 meters down is a dirt road, and the dirt road used to be countless wooden houses, some of which were dimly lit and had searchlights flashing from time to time, and it took the brother and sister about an hour to crawl down about 50 meters, and finally came to the dirt road.

At this time, the searchlight swept over, Yang Zheng hurriedly shrank back, squatting in the bushes next to the dirt road, and the sister who followed up also hurriedly lay down, although the camouflage on the two was simple, but it was dark and could not see clearly, there was still a certain camouflage, the searchlight swept from the two people, and no abnormality was found.

Yang Zheng waited for the searchlight to pass, and quickly pulled Ah Mei up, rushed across the dirt road, in front of a short slope, there was a wooden house light transmitted through, the visibility was much better than in the woods, the two of them climbed down the slope with the dim light, squatting under a large broad leaf to observe.

Five or six meters in front is the wooden house, the wooden house is built in a disorderly manner, but this clutter not only blocks the view, but also makes people confused, unfamiliar with it is easy to get lost, Yang Zheng observed for a while, and found that some wooden houses came from snoring, and some wooden houses were whispering, and they could not be seen from a distance.

Yang Zheng just got up and was about to continue forward, when he suddenly heard footsteps, quickly squatted down, and saw a patrol team walking slowly, lighting with flashlights, the appearance of more than a dozen people, the brother and sister did not dare to move, staring at the patrol nervously and silently.

Not long after, the patrol team came, and the searchlight also came, illuminating the hiding place, and the visibility was greatly increased, and the patrol slowly walked near the two hiding, and did not find anything abnormal, and quickly walked away, Yang Zheng looked at the leaving patrol team in surprise, a little surprised, thinking that it might be dark under the light.

I didn't have time to think about it, Yang Zheng grabbed Ah Mei and walked forward quickly, and soon came to a wooden house, the searchlight happened to sweep from nearby, Yang Zheng found through the searchlight that there was a small river not far away, and a water prison was built in the river, a water prison surrounded by thick wooden stakes, and some people were imprisoned in it, and they looked depressed.

"Huh?" Yang Zheng looked at this water prison in surprise, but unfortunately the searchlight had swept over, and he couldn't see clearly without the light, Yang Zheng hurriedly lowered his voice and said to Ah Mei: "There is a water prison in front, you are here, I'll take a look." ”

"Be careful." Ah Mei hurriedly admonished.

"Don't run around, I'll be back soon." Yang Zheng admonished, after getting Amei's reply, he quickly rushed over, crossed an open area five or six meters wide, just as the searchlight swept in, and quickly lay down, at first glance it looked like a canopy of bushes, there were too many such bushes around, inconspicuous.

Soon, the searchlight swept over, passing through the water prison, Yang Zheng fixed his eyes and found that there were many people imprisoned in the water prison, looking like white and black people, Yang Zheng went forward along the bushes in surprise, and hid after approaching the water prison, and waited for the searchlight to come again, this time he could see more clearly, it was indeed all white and black, and they didn't look like ordinary people, and they didn't see Lin Staff.

Yang Zheng didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he waited for a while, and once again used the light of the searchlight to confirm that there was no Lin Staff Officer in the water prison, and then quickly retreated, returning to the original place to meet Ah Mei, Ah Mei asked in a curious low voice, "Brother?" ”

"They are all foreigners, they have nothing to do with us, it matters to find someone." Yang Zheng said in a low voice.

The brother and sister continued to move forward, taking advantage of the surrounding bushes to hide, walking and stopping, stopping from time to time to avoid searchlights and patrols, and not long after, there was a "coaxing" sound in front, Yang Zheng was suspicious, quickly stopped, and looked carefully, only to find that there was a larger wooden house in front of him.

The bottom of the wooden house is elevated, surrounded by thick wooden stakes, and something is ringing inside, Yang Zheng curiously pulled Ah Mei and walked forward, only to find that there were several wild boars locked up, and there was a corpse lying on the ground, and the wild boars were gnawing on the corpse.

Yang Zheng was shocked, worried that it was Staff Officer Lin, so he hurriedly touched it to check, and vaguely identified that the body was a woman by the dim light around, her legs had been gnawed off, her bones had been contaminated with mud, and her body was also in tatters, but fortunately, her long hair was still there, otherwise she couldn't tell the gender.

Looking at this scene, Yang Zheng was shocked, anger surged up, and quickly pulled Ah Mei away, too cruel, too bloody, these beasts, fortunately not Staff Officer Lin, the two quickly left, hiding in a wood, Ah Mei looked at no one around, and asked curiously: "Brother, just now?" ”

"It's a wild boar, let's keep looking." Yang Zheng replied in a low voice, not telling the truth, it was too cruel.

"Oh, no wonder the sound is familiar, it's too big here, it's full of people, where are we looking?" Ah Mei looked around with some concern and said.

Yang Zheng also looked around, his eyes were solemn, this valley is indeed too big, not to mention at night, even if no one stops him during the day, it is not easy to find someone, he couldn't help but ponder, and said: "Sister, if it were you, where would you hide people?" ”

"If they really bring Staff Officer Lin here to be detained, it means that they attach great importance to it, then they will be held in an absolutely safe and hidden place to avoid being rescued." Ah Mei whispered.

"Absolutely safe? Hidden again? It's the same as I thought, but where would you meet such conditions? Yang Zheng pondered, looking around with a solemn gaze.
