Chapter 0514: Bones
The monkey went down to the bottom of the well, and after landing on the ground, he tentatively stepped on the ground, and below was twenty centimeters of sludge, which emitted a choking stench, but fortunately the sludge was hard underneath and would not sink people into it like a swamp. (8) Ω (1) 8⒈
After the monkey landed, he shone around with a flashlight, and there was no abnormality except for the rancid smell, and after making sure it was safe, the monkey shook it upwards with the flashlight.
The captain nodded at me, and I grabbed the rope and slid down the second, and soon the striker came back, and the two of them went down to the bottom of the shaft as well.
After landing, the striker grabbed the rope and pulled it to the side, and the log on it fell into the well along with the rope, and the monkey and I took out the sapper shovel and dug a hole in the dark, damp and mossy wall of the well.
There was not even a stone in the soft and damp earth, and a shovel went down to dig out a large piece, and the captain was on guard with an injured arm, and the striker also came to help, and in less than two minutes, the three of us dug out a hole in the earth that could accommodate four people, and before the pursuers could search for it, we dug deep again.
At this time, the voice of the rebels was heard in the distance overhead, and the captain immediately made a silent gesture, and in a short time, the sound of chaotic footsteps above was heard from far and near, and the enemy had already launched a search in the village, and the officer's command could be clearly heard below.
"The first team goes to the south, the second team goes to the north, and the rest of the people are searching in the village, they can't run far, everyone can't be left alone, be careful!"
As soon as I heard it, I knew that this was a battle-hardened officer, and the veterans here went to the battlefield every day, and all who survived were old fritters, but the quality of the soldiers below was almost there, and most of them were refugees who chose to be soldiers in order to fill their stomachs, so the government army could easily gather tens of thousands of troops, and the rebels have grown a lot since they captured North Kivu Province.
From time to time, there are enemy soldiers walking by on it, but no one has paid attention to this well for the time being, the four of us hid in the soil hole, blocked the hole with our backpacks, squatted in the atmosphere and did not dare to breathe, the military boots on my feet were stained with fishy sludge, I pinched my nose and covered my mouth, this smell is not ordinary smell, lying in the sewer is better than this.
The monkey's choked nose was out of order, and I saw that he arched his nose to sneeze, so I reached out and grabbed his nose and pinched it hard, sneezing back.
The monkey waved me a punch and glared at me so hard that my nose was almost wrenched off by me, when a voice came from overhead: "Look, there's a well here, will they hide underneath?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound of footsteps stopping at the mouth of the well, and there should be three people listening to the sound.
"This is a dry well, you can see the bottom at a glance, where are they hiding?" A rebel next to him said.
"What if there are other holes down there?" That guy was smart enough to think of that.
"Then you go down and take a look, we'll cover up there!" Someone next to him said.
"Why don't you go down, who knows how deep the sludge is, what if I can't get out? If they were really down there, wouldn't I be sent to death? "That guy is not only clever but also very life-saving, but thank God that we met a soldier who is afraid of death, otherwise we would have jumped down and we would have been doomed.
"It's more troublesome to go down with two grenades!"
"Good idea, whether it's anyone or not, blow it up first!"
As soon as the words fell, three grenades were thrown from above, and we retreated to the deepest part of the hole, blocked the hole with four backpacks, lowered our heads to block the helmet in front, and plugged our ears with cotton balls, which was another reason why we dug the hole, to prevent the enemy from throwing grenades into it.
"Boom, boom!" The grenade exploded at the bottom of the well, and I only felt the ground shaking, and although my ears were gagged, the explosion still shook us, and our heads were dizzy, and Venus was flying in front of us.
Fortunately, the rebels did not use offensive grenades that used shock waves to kill, but fragmentation defensive grenades, with hundreds of shrapnel piercing into the backpacks, fortunately, they were filled with weapons and ammunition, and the shrapnel could not pierce us, otherwise we would all have to become hedgehogs.
Even so, we were stunned, and we didn't come back to our senses for a long time, when a loud noise came from the far southerly direction, and the trap set by the striker was detonated, and the three rebels who were squatting at the mouth of the well were immediately attracted by the explosion, and then they heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, and many people ran in that direction.
The trap set up by the striker was just to attract people to pass, and he also deliberately left traces of fleeing to the south in front of him, just to lead these rebels to chase south, and it is estimated that they have already shown those traces and are organizing troops to search south.
After waiting for a long time to make sure there was no movement on it, we stumbled out of the hole.
"I swear, this is the most embarrassing thing I've ever been in the army!" I pulled the cotton ball off my ear and leaned against the wall of the well next to me, feeling dizzy and feeling like I had drunk too much.
"Congratulations, your life of suffering has begun." The striker tapped me on the shoulder, and I saw that he was pale and swaying as if he was going to fall at any moment.
"Hopefully there won't be a next time!" I forced a wry smile and took a step back to pick up the backpack, but I stepped on something under my feet and fell into the mud.
"Damn it, what the hell, what?" I sat in the stinky mud and cursed and took out the things under my feet, and when I took a closer look, my pupils dilated instantly, what the hell am I going to do, human head!
I threw the rotting human head into the monkey's arms with a snort, and rubbed my hands vigorously against the wall of the well next to me, not to mention the nausea from the inside out.
"Grass, assassin, where are you damn bastards going!" The monkey scolded and kicked the head out of the ground.
"I now know where the rancid smell comes from!" The striker turned on the flashlight on his helmet and looked down at the mud blown up by the grenade.
I stood up and looked down at the light, and there were a lot of corpses buried under the mud, all of which had been blown up by grenades, many of which had not completely rotted, and the stench of ** was emitted by these corpses.
These should be the civilians living in the village, the corpses are still in the well after being killed, I can't tell how many, anyway, we are trampled on the bones, even if we are used to seeing dead people, we don't want to stand on the pile of corpses, disgusting from the inside out.
"Shouldn't you be happy that you really crawled out of the pile of dead people this time?" The monkey said with a wry smile.
"I don't want to stay here for a second, if you're happy, stay here for one night!" I drew my saber and stabbed into the wall of the well next to me, ready to climb up and get out of the dead pile.
"Let me do this kind of thing!" The monkey deserves to be called a monkey, the eaves walk the wall exaggeratedly, but the climbing is definitely a master of the masters, the bare well wall only relies on two sabers, and it only takes fifty seconds to climb out of the well.
