Chapter Seventy-Six: Cannibal Ridge
"I've heard that there are only two kinds of wild animals in the world that can reach the top of the pyramid," said Dasha, putting down his binoculars, "and the goshawk and ...... Snail.

I had heard this story from a Libyan six years ago. At that time, I also learned from them that after the liberation of Alaska, Einstein hid in the Pyramid of Khufu for two years before he designed the outer low-end production version of the exoskeleton armor worn by the Allied hoplites, and as soon as it was designed, it was handed over to the remnants of the Allied forces hiding in the desert of West Africa to fight guerrillas, creating the recapture of control of 4 large and small lands of France and 12 countries in West Africa. The November 13 counter-current (which the Allies called the "West African Liberal Awakening") "also led to the resurgence of Allied forces in many places!"
Today, this place, which was supposed to make a huge contribution to our war against Yuri, has become a strong fortress for the enemy. The Pyramid of Khufu is surrounded by high walls, an empty desert to the west, rocks and weeds to the east, but it is heavily defended against the Yuri military base, and a wide river to the south. Yuri's navy and coalition navy were exchanging fire, and the Allied destroyers were firing from afar. Every now and then, a few shells or missiles will fall in front of you, and they will blow up in a mess.
"The question is...... Why didn't anyone pass by from the north? Gran Zangmu asked, "How is it that there is no one in this place?" ”
He got to the point. I'm also curious. There are quite a few pyramids in the area, several lakes and even a small oasis. But there was no one there, Yuri, the coalition, the allies, not a single one. It's strange, for Yuri this is a good defensive position, for our army this is a good springboard for the offensive, why is it ......
"I would advise to be cautious and avoid this direction," Noblanca said, "and there could be another way......
Before he finished speaking, I interrupted him: "Unfortunately, Comrade Political Commissar, we have no other way. To the west is an open field, to the east is the key defensive area of the Yuri military base and patrols, and to the south is the river where fierce battles are taking place, and these directions are not suitable for our troops to break through! ”
"But...... There's no one ...... here," Granzangm hesitated to emphasise, "I guess they must have seen something horrible and didn't dare pass through here." Now that the sun is about to set, it's best to get there before it goes down to survey the terrain and decide what to do tomorrow. ”
……
"Everybody's on the table." Two hours later, at 8 p.m., after eliminating Yuri's patrol of more than 60 people, we finally cleared a clearing between the two small pyramids on the north side, about 10 kilometers away from the Pyramid of Khufu, and there was no sign of Yuri's troops. Let's take a break for a while. There were 497 men left in the army, and only Gran Zangmu was still suspicious of the station, which made me wonder if there were ghosts here.
But I soon put the matter behind me, because there was something bigger in my way from thinking about it at the moment......
"We're not the only ones here," the terrifying droids of Noblang returned one after another, bringing back all sorts of strange things: tattered clothes, old backpacks, iron rods that looked like fountain pens, rusty stainless steel kettles, books of unknown age, and maps whose outlines were invisible......
"These are expedition things," Darsha whispered, "and there have been ...... here Quite a few expeditions ...... But they all ......"
All dead. Among the piles of relics, I found a notebook. The years have brought too many scars to it, but I will never mistake the red star on it and the familiar words "1938".
"Understood," I said softly, "this is ...... This is Comrade Stalin's 'torch' troops...... He didn't even leave his name, so he died in this ...... In this exotic and barren desert......"
Since 1935, the Comintern has been sending troops with the main body of the opposing side to their home countries to incite revolution and prepare for an all-out world revolutionary war. The best effect was in Central and Eastern Europe, and Czechoslovakia surrendered on its own initiative.
Everyone took off their hats and observed a two-minute silence for the martyrs who did not even have their bones left. But this solemn atmosphere was immediately spoiled by Sergei, who rushed over while shouting "retreat". When he rushed to me out of breath, my first reaction was: something is wrong.
"Comrade Commander...... You, you're still ...... Come over here and take a look at this with me. I think the vice-captain, Comrade Granzangm, is right...... This place is indeed very dangerous...... We shouldn't be here......"
"How dangerous?" I'm a little confused. But this doubt lasted only ten minutes, and after ten minutes I understood what Sergey wanted to show me.
"We need to get out of here. Over here...... It's not the place for us to stay......"
In front of us at the moment is a bunch of ...... A pile of twisted white bones. I don't know what they did when they were alive, and they all seemed to be hugging each other in agony, but there was definitely danger here.
"Gather everyone, including our patrol. We have to leave...... Wait, what about the other patrols? "Only then did I notice that the six fighters standing in front of me were the only patrol soldiers. There should be 3 more teams like them.
Granzangm's eyes grew frightened. After a while, Granzang behind him said: "Comrade commander...... In fact...... The other three teams have lost all contact with us......"
Although the casualties were huge, somehow I thought it was the expected ending. "How many people know about this?" I asked.
"These are the people here." Here are me, Nobranga, Granzang, Dasha, Sergei, Yezhov, Naji, Buganev, and the six patrolmen. It doesn't look like there are many people.
"This matter is to be kept secret. No wonder no one dares to come to this place, it turns out that it is a ...... A place to eat people. As soon as everyone got back, we rushed to the beach area southwest of the Pyramid of Khufu! Hurry up, it's too late! ”
The clouds rolled in the sky, and there seemed to be a faint sound of wind like a ghost crying wolf.
