Chapter 45: Cruel Scouts
In the quiet of the night, the sound of gunfire caused both men to sit up at the same time.
The gunfire is still some distance away from here, but how can there be gunfire in this kind of place that should be no man's land.
"Extinguish the campfire!"
Reaching out and grabbing the sniper rifle from the backpack on the side, Li Jia hurriedly stepped on the bonfire.
After opening the safety and pulling the bolt, after the bullet was loaded, Tang Yi had already climbed up like a cheetah.
This is a dirt slope, and Tang Yi, who turned over and came to the dirt slope, picked up a sniper rifle and looked in the direction where the sound came from through the sniper scope.
"What's the situation?"
After extinguishing the bonfire, Li Jia also hurriedly climbed over, the terrain here is not high, but there is still a certain angle from below.
Tang Yi didn't speak, looking ahead through the sniper scope, and at this moment, a bunch of car lights appeared on the plain not far away.
The sound of gunfire came from the jeep, and in front of the jeep, more than a dozen figures were running quickly.
The headlights illuminated their frantic footsteps, and through the sniper scope, Tang Yi saw the panicked faces.
They are all locals, dark-skinned, and very thin from chronic malnutrition.
But at this time, they kept running forward with full strength, and around them, the bullets kept exploding.
"Kid!"
Li Jia, who was holding a telescope, had also locked on to the person in the jeep.
But when she saw the childish faces, she was stunned.
They were in their early teens, but they were already holding automatic rifles about their size, and they were grinning with teeth.
Constantly pulling the trigger, the bullets shot forward, and the group of children actually played with the people in front of them as prey.
"They are scouts, don't look at their young age, but I'm afraid they killed a lot more people than you, you pay attention, the adults in those cars are their leaders and instructors, I'm afraid this group of children is being assessed!"
Tang Yi frowned, looking at the scene in front of him, the people running in front of him were basically adults, but they were thin and weak, and they were not suitable for fighting as soldiers, or they were the ordinary people they had captured.
A good marksman is fed with countless bullets, then a marksman is trained on the battlefield, and in the same way, the best warriors climb out of the pile of the dead, and this group of children is now on the way to the pile of the dead.
Killing is the best way to train, especially for this group of scouts, looking at the immature faces with incomparably hideous, Li Jia couldn't help but clench his fists.
"It's so cruel, how can these guys let their children go to war as warriors!"
If it is in China, these children should be educated in bright classrooms, and the so-called training should also be done on the sports field to do gymnastics.
But now, this group of children here is actually practicing killing, and Li Jia really can't accept it.
"Maybe it's just cruel to you, it's perfectly legal here, and don't forget that Somalia and the United States are the only two countries in the world that haven't banned the use of soldiers over the age of 15, so whether it's a government army or an anti-government army, this kind of brainwashed Scout is a very good choice for fighters."
Tang Yi slowly put down the sniper rifle, this group of people should belong to the ragtag army in the rebel army, in fact, it is just the so-called bandit bandits.
"I now finally know the purpose of our existence, and only by protecting our country will we not let the tragedy of this group of children play out on our land."
Li Jia also put down the binoculars in her hand, she couldn't accept the fusion of her immature face and hideous face.
Such an indifferent and crazy thing is unacceptable to people in a peaceful country, but here, it is commonplace.
The gunfire continued, and soon more than a dozen people were killed by these scouts, and in the roar of the jeep, this training may have been a complete success, but for Li Jia, it was an unprecedented impact.
"You're right, but I have to warn you, remember, this is a battlefield, any mercy can cost you your life, and if we do encounter such an opponent, don't hesitate, shooting is your only option."
Once again, Tang Yi re-lit the bonfire, and a few flames could provide them with good warmth.
"What are you going to do?"
Li Jia looked at Tang Yi, and he didn't expect him to say such cold-blooded words.
"As long as you become an enemy, I will kill anyone, are you ready to use mercy to block their bullets at you?"
Tang Yi didn't feel anything, he was able to live to this day, what he relied on was not mercy, this was a battlefield, not a place where the saint existed.
"Cold-blooded guy!"
Li Jia turned her head, and as she came into contact with her, she felt more and more that Tang Yi's indifference really didn't make people feel any temperature.
But as a doctor of psychology, she also understands that soldiers who fight on the battlefield all year round must have all kinds of psychological problems.
"It's not cold-blooded, it's reality, reality is often very cruel, it's you, why do I feel more and more that you're a rookie, if you're not wrong, let alone killing people with a knife, you haven't even killed people with a gun!"
It has been ten years since he entered the Dragon Shadow to today, and the indifference he once had from his youth to his current indifference has completely shattered his values again and again from reality, and if he wants to survive on the battlefield, he must accept reality.
"So what, what's the big deal about killing people."
was broken by Tang Yi's words, Li Jia immediately ignored him, he was right, this was Li Jia's first assignment.
She is completely from a professional class and has received first-class agent training, but everything before was mainly based on simulated actual combat.
If it weren't for the general's order, she would probably still be continuing her studies, and hearing this, Tang Yi could only shake her head helplessly.
He knew what the general thought, if he were someone else, Tang Yi would never pay attention to her, but Li Jia is different, she is the daughter of the captain, and the captain sacrificed to save him back then, so now Tang Yi will risk his life to protect Li Jia, and he will completely trust her.
No longer talking, Tang Yi soon fell asleep, although he was very hungry, but the day's running was still very hard.
Li Jia lay on the uneven land, and finally fell asleep, the only danger in the Gobi Desert is poisonous snakes, fortunately, there are bonfires, and snake repellents are still very effective.
There was nothing to say all night, and when the sun was about to rise, Tang Yi and Li Jia once again embarked on the journey.
But no one would have thought that everything was said by Tang Yi, and they would have to go through a life and death test before chasing Du Qiao.
