Chapter 63: The Empty City (Part II)
Due to the heavy rains, the already uneven roads became more and more muddy and difficult to navigate. Pei Wei and the others, who were crowded into two Toyota pickup trucks, could only sway their bodies with the slow progress of the vehicles, and their eyes had to keep watching the movements around the vehicles all the time, which was really hard.
Because the speed of the vehicle was almost a little faster than ordinary walking, except for Harbara and Bao Lei, who were driving, Gu Weisu and Pan Guan all walked briskly on both sides of the vehicle, always alerting the movement on both sides of the vehicle.
Like a farmer leading two oxen, Tang Guoming used two sturdy ropes to tie Kata and Tunna, whose hands were tied behind his back, and served as the guide and reconnaissance in front of the vehicle. Perhaps because they had long been accustomed to walking in the mud of the rainy season, Kata and Tunna, who had their hands tied behind their backs, walked ten kilometers away, but there was still no trace of fatigue on their faces. On the contrary, Tang Guoming, who was always on mental alert, felt a little tired.
Taking a slight breath, Tang Guoming reached out and wiped the rain on his face, and shook the rope in his hand vigorously: "Stop advancing!" ”
Squatting obediently on both sides of the muddy road, Kata and Tuna strictly followed Tang Guoming's orders, maintaining a distance of at least five meters between the two, and they didn't even look at each other for a moment.
Looking down at the personal information terminal tied to his arm, and then looking up to the sky to catch some rain and swallowing it, Tang Guoming raised his voice and shouted at Kata: "How far is it from your forward reconnaissance base?" ”
Shaking his head towards the rain curtain on the diagonal side of the road, Kata, whose hands were tied behind his back, loudly agreed to Tang Guoming's question: "There is a fork in the road after walking forward for a kilometer." Five kilometers down the fork in the road, you will see our forward reconnaissance base. ”
Gently pressing the button of the communicator, Tang Guoming raised his voice and said: "Fried liver, I will mark the approximate location of the target location on the personal information terminal, and you will go out to investigate!" ”
In the communicator, Gu Weisu's response voice was quickly heard: "Understood! I'm out of the convoy guard sequence now, done! ”
As soon as he entered the approximate location of the target location on the personal information terminal, Tang Guoming had already seen Gu Weisu's figure quickly rush into the rain curtain, and disappeared without a trace in a moment.
Looking back at the two Toyota pickup trucks that had already been overloaded slowly approaching him, Tang Guoming raised his arms and played the combat sign language of 'slowly approaching' to the driving Harbara, and then walked to Kata, who was squatting in the muddy water: "Are you sure you are telling the truth?" ”
Covered with muddy water all over his body, Kata looked up at Tang Guoming, who was standing two or three steps away from him, and nodded vigorously: "What I said is the truth!" ”
Listening to the slowly approaching movement of the vehicle behind him, Tang Guoming nodded slightly: "Although telling the truth is a virtue, sometimes lying is also a necessary condition for survival!" ”
Without a second of hesitation, Kata looked at Tang Guoming's eyes with a little more stunned and frightened: "You want me to talk to those who are about to besiege the Emperor Valley to induce them to act?" ”
Tang Guoming: "You can think of the best, and it also saves me the trouble of talking." ”
Shaking his head like a rattle, Kata cried out, "No...... I must not do that. If they attack the Valley of the Kings and find that things don't match what I said, they'll be angry with my clan! ”
Looking at Kata with a sneer, his face was full of excitement, Tang Guoming shouted coldly: "Do you think you can have other choices? ”
Shaking his head firmly, Kata exclaimed, "Never! Even if you kill me, I won't promise you ......"
Swinging the automatic rifle in his hand violently, Tang Guoming hit Kata's shoulder blade with the butt of the rifle fiercely: "Your acting skills are too clumsy!" ”
Screaming and falling into the muddy water, Kata, whose shoulder blades were broken by Tang Guoming, involuntarily spasmed, but a pair of eyes opened a gap slightly, carefully observing Tang Guoming's reaction.
Raising his arms holding the gun slightly, Tang Guoming shouted coldly at Kata, who was screaming incessantly: "Do you really want to play a disabled person in your true colors for the rest of your life?!" Trust me, I have a thousand ways to make your broken bones grow into irreversible deformities! ”
Forcibly enduring the pain in his shoulder blades, Kata opened his eyes suddenly, and stared at Tang Guoming: "You can't escape!" ”
Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Tang Guoming replied: "Whether we can get out of danger or not, this is our business." Whether or not you can survive well – at least today – depends on your performance! Agreeing on the time of communication and agreeing on the key sentences of communication, these methods used to carry out anti-coercive communication are too ordinary to pose any threat to us! ”
The look of surprise in his eyes flashed, and after Kata hesitated for a moment, he looked at Tang Guoming with a gloomy face: "How can I use it if I know?" In two hours at most, if they don't get a call from me, they will immediately split up and head to the Valley of the Kings and this forward reconnaissance base at the same time! You can't escape......"
Still with a nonchalant look, Tang Guoming even had a sneering smile on his face: "With your cooperation, those armed personnel heading to the Valley of the Kings will be held back for at least an hour." Without your cooperation, the armed men of the Valley of Kings will be divided into two routes, which will also reduce our pressure. For me, it's a good situation in any way. For you...... To live or to die, is that really a question?! ”
Throwing down Kata, who was full of fear and pain, Tang Guoming strode to Tuna, who was squatting on the other side of the road: "Kata and you, only one can survive, it depends on which of you can cooperate better, understand?" ”
Just now seeing Tang Guoming mercilessly break Kata's shoulder blade, Tuna looked at Tang Guoming with some fear: "What do you want me to do?" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Tang Guoming said in a low voice: "No matter what Kata says later, you have to completely deny everything Kata said." After that, you will be imprisoned and wait for someone from your tribe to rescue you. ”
Nodding without hesitation, he dodged and looked at Kata, who was squatting on the ground and trembling in pain: "You just said it...... Between me and Kata, only one can survive? ”
Instantly understood the meaning of Tuna's words, Tang Guoming reached out and patted the Gobo fighting knife hanging on his chest: "If you don't feel at ease, you can execute it yourself!" ”
A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and Tuna nodded fiercely: "I promise to do everything you ask for......"
Almost as soon as the voice fell, Gu Weisu's voice also came from the communicator: "The target area is safe, and the convoy can come over." I'm on guard at the commanding heights due south outside the target building, and I'm done! ”
