Chapter 549: Devil's City

Reed grass, one of the three treasures of the desert, the roots are very deep, the roots can reach the ground below ten meters, Yuntian took out the military shovel, dug along the direction of the root, carefully gouged out the rhizome, the snow-white rhizome is their treasure to live.

If you put the rhizome in your mouth and chew it vigorously, you will immediately feel water in your chapped mouth, and although the amount is small, you will not die of thirst if you keep looking for this reed root to eat.

Now he is like a big river that is about to dry up, although this stem is only like a little clear spring, but it also makes Yuntian's spirit lifted, and he also has some strength up and down his body, he immediately sped up, and soon, a handful of white and tender rhizomes appeared in his hands.

"Come on, chew hard!"

With water, he has strength, Yun Tian held this life-saving treasure in both hands, hurriedly returned to the team, and put the white and tender rhizome into everyone's mouth, and the taste of this water suddenly made everyone wake up from that chaotic consciousness.

"I'm going to eat it again!"

Niu Boyu now felt that this thing was definitely the best thing in the world, and he got up as if he was crazy, and threw himself towards the dirt slope, and the clumps of reeds and grass were immediately carefully dug out by him.

Soon, everyone stood up again, and after a little strength, they all began to dig the reed grass roots by themselves, and the red dragon came to this hillside with the support of the clouds.

"I'm sorry, but I'm the one who bothered everyone."

With some wetness in his mouth, Honglong couldn't help but say, he knew very well that if he hadn't fallen suddenly, Tang Xi and Pan Yao would actually be able to hold on for a while.

"Don't talk nonsense, keep digging the grassroots, we are a team now, don't say anything about whether it is even related or not."

Yun Tian patted the red dragon on the shoulder, stuffed a handful of grass roots into his mouth again, and turned around and walked towards the dirt slope.

Although the roots of this reed grass have juice, it is so little that they have to eat a lot of it in order for them to recover completely.

While resting in place, while desperately digging grass roots, in this place where life could not survive, the six Chinese soldiers showed their super consciousness.

Finally, the six of them fell to the ground again, and it felt so good that there was water in their bodies.

Although the sun in the sky is so hot now, the six people still feel that they have strength all over their bodies.

"Alright, let's go over there and rest, let's be on our way at night."

This reed grass is not available everywhere, and if they finally find some, they must cherish it, so Yuntian ordered six people to correct it on the spot.

Found a place in the shade, and the six people immediately fell to the ground to rest, and there was no need to be vigilant, because there were no animals, let alone people.

This sleep is called a comfortable one, until the sun sets, the six people woke up again, the top priority is naturally to dig the grass roots first.

After three more hours of busy work, they not only had enough to eat, but also specially prepared some in case of emergency, and then turned around and rushed towards the town of Nicheng again.

With the spirit, the faces of the six people were a little rosy again, and in the face of this trip with an unknown future, the six people were also uncertain.

But for the sake of their comrades, they have to break through.

Ten miles outside the city of Zhenni.

Although it is still the Gobi Desert, there are undulating mounds everywhere, and bare mountains are in the distance.

Some green vegetation lives strong on the land, but the low shrubs are not equal to firewood and cannot be used for food.

Originally, Zhenni City was still rich and free, especially a freshwater river running through here, making the whole city very rich, and it was still a very free tourist city back then.

But five years ago, with the outbreak of the civil war, the militants took control of the city, and the inhumane management made the whole city feel like a dead city.

A convoy of more than a dozen Humvees drove through the area.

These vehicles are all leftovers of the former government forces, and they are now converted into armored vehicles with machine guns.

The militants are standing or sitting, and although the AK47 in their hands is shabby, it is still a sharp weapon to hurt people.

In the billowing smoke and dust, the convoy drove past the area in front of them, and several people were lying there at this time.

They were the Yuntian team that had arrived here, and the six of them hid behind the mound, watching the Humvee's cart.

I wanted to rob one, but there were too many people on the other side, and it was too close to Zhenni City.

As soon as the gunfire rang out, not to mention the reinforcements, the BM-21 rocket artillery alone for twenty kilometers directly strangled them.

"It's all the third team, aren't they left alone?"

Lying at the forefront, Niu Boyu couldn't help but ask, they have been climbing like this for a day, but the three convoys in the past, at least ten Humvees.

With so many people, it is impossible for six people to kill him at once, especially the Humvee with welded steel plates, which is simply armed to the teeth, unless rocket artillery can destroy him.

"Deny do you think this city will still be there, in five years, we are definitely not the first special forces to come."

Li Qingyang was lying not far away, looking at the cars that drove by one after another, he sneered and said, it is obvious that these guys have suffered losses.

"What then? Just waiting? ”

Niu Boyu spit out the sand in his mouth, and when this gust of wind blew, the whole person immediately dried up.

"If there's no movement after dark, we'll dive in."

Yun Tian looked at the Gobi Desert, the heat had formed water ripples in front of their eyes, and sometimes the heat like a big river made them feel their throats even drier.

"I'm afraid it's not so easy to sneak in, I've studied the war in this country before, and I remember that around this city, a lot of mines were laid."

At this moment, the red dragon, who had not spoken all this time, spoke.

As a top student at the National Defense University, his graduation thesis was about the country's civil war, and he studied the command analysis of the battlefield, as well as the reasons for victory and defeat.

I still remember this place vividly, because I look at the vast city that used to have a population of hundreds of thousands, but now it has long been different.

As a base camp, the other side must keep civilians here, but it is impossible to build a wall in the Gobi Desert of Guangao.

So, they found many, many mines, and directly surrounded the whole city, except for a few roads that were tightly guarded, and the rest of the place was minefields.

Every year, many residents who can't survive try to escape from here, but they can't force their way through those intersections, so they have to gamble their luck and basically die in the minefield.

"It's unlikely that the whole city will be mined, right?"

After Niu Boyu heard Honglong's words, he couldn't believe it, how many mines will there be in this vast place.

"That's right, the most critical of this is the large amount of supplies sent to them by the previous government, it is said that the warehouse where they had hoarded about a million American-made M14 mines was excavated, and many of them are early versions of plastic zuò, and mine detectors cannot be fully found."

Honglong nodded, after the United States abandoned the M14 mine in 74, it sold tens of millions of mines all over the world, and there are more than one million in stock here.

In addition to these mines, there are also Soviet-made TM-46 anti-tank tracks and other early-rise mines, which, after being buried, are simply better than copper walls.

"How? Can you do this? ”

If it weren't for the red dragon, they would never have known that there was such a thing, Yun Tian bumped Niu Boyu with his shoulder, he was Lei Zhenzi's high apprentice.

"Don't be kidding, that thing is buried under the ground, it's been one with the earth for so many years, let alone me, even if it's my master, it's useless."

Niu Boyu's head shook like a rattle, he was so powerful there, otherwise the mines on the Sino-Vietnamese border would have been exhausted long ago.

"Well, it looks like we'll just have to wait and see if we run into a bad bug before we get roasted dry."

It's very difficult to get in now, but if you can grab a car here, you can do it.

You can drive at least 100 kilometers away in one night, and it's good to rob a few other strongholds.

"Looks like the bad luck worm is coming."

Just as a few people were muttering in their hearts, they didn't know how long they were going to lie down, when suddenly Pan Yao's voice came from the earphones.

This sound immediately lifted everyone's spirits, and they immediately looked to the left-hand side, and there was a puff of smoke and dust in the distance, like a wild buffalo in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Pan Yao was lying on a high ground, and through the sniper scope, he clearly found that it was a Hummer off-road vehicle driving in, which had also been modified, constantly bumping with the ups and downs of the dirt road.

The earthy yellow body, I don't know if it's because it's dirty, or if it's such a protective color, and there are no other cars left and right in the front and back.

The sudden arrival of the car immediately gave everyone hope that they could rush to another place as long as they intercepted it.

"Tang Xi, are you ready?"

They are here, too close to the city, especially the patrol, if the gunshots are fired, they will be the first to rush, so they have to carjack the car, and they have to repeat the same tricks.

"Ready."

Behind a stone, Tang Xi was wearing a black robe, which was something that the red dragon had found from his previous stronghold, and it could be regarded as a habit of his as an agent.

"Okay, then be careful."

Yun Tian could only pin all his hopes on Tang Xi at this time, and on the other side, Li Qingyang, who was lying in a pile of rocks, was also ready.

This time, Li Qingyang carried two weapons, one is a German-made G36K short rifle, the butt can be folded back for easy carrying, and it is equipped with a silencer and a 40mm AG36 grenade launcher, and the other is also a MG36 branch light machine gun, with a thickened heavy barrel, a 200-round drum and a folding bipod to make the firepower more intense.

Now, he's holding his short rifle, looking through the infrared scope, watching the approaching car, and if there's a problem, he's a silencer, the only weapon that can be used without leaking.

Everyone is waiting to see if they can take the car, but the key to whether they can continue to fight.
