Chapter 31: Morning in the Jungle
After deploying the defense, the two big men entered the inner room to rest, but Yu Songyuan and the witch decided to start a secret investigation around the peak of Mount Prei from the second half of the night. Strive to find clues in the shortest possible time.
But the radius is dozens of kilometers, the area is vast, and it is difficult to tightly seal this area with only a few people. The witch pondered and walked to Yu Songyuan's side and sat down next to him, Yu Songyuan subconsciously moved to the side as if he was burned by fire. The witch blushed, and quietly grabbed his hand, twisting it the back of his hand.
It's really ruthless, Yu Songyuan gasped in pain, and he had to pretend to be casual on his face.
Everyone in the room was thinking about a good plan, and the subtle entanglement between the two made Liu Guodong, who was leaning on the wall, look at it all. Seeing Liu Guodong's mouth open wide in shock, the witch quietly made a threatening move and quickly sealed her mouth.
"Wait for the rabbit!"
Liu Guodong understood it, nodded with an unbelievable expression, and blurted out these four words.
Everyone looked at him, and Liu Guodong explained, "To find out if there is a change under the mountain, they have to go into the cave." And this is obviously impossible at present, with their ability, they cannot figure out the situation inside the mountain, and they can only monitor the Miao Village and the source of the Nankang River. Therefore......"
Yu Songyuan and the witch glanced at each other and nodded. He looked at his watch, and it was already three o'clock in the morning.
"The ghost hand is reasonable! To monitor the Miao Village, we and the observation points of the Annam people are all the best places, witches, you have to pay attention to. Keep the walkie-talkie open and don't act alone! The rest of the squad, with full equipment, now set off to set up a surveillance position at the source of the Nankang River and prepare to ambush the parachute agents! ”
Everyone quickly began to pack up their equipment, and before leaving, Yu Songyuan made a special explanation to the witch:
"If there are enemy scouts or agents in the mountains and forests, you can monitor them, and you must not go out of the village to chase them. The defense system in Miao Village has been formed, with you and Mr. Xu here, and a small group of enemies is no threat to you. If you encounter a large-scale attack above the squad, in order to ensure safety, you must organize Yingya and everyone as soon as possible and return to the underground base to defend it! Mr. Xu, Sister Yingya and you, nothing can happen to the three of them! As long as you enter the underground base, you will be safe. The rest, after we get rid of the parachutes, will come and clean them up! ”
The witch nodded, "If the parachute crew doesn't send back the signal within the specified time, it can't be ruled out that the CIA will send *** armed forces hidden in the jungle to attack and disturb it." Therefore, I will be very cautious, you can set off with confidence and concentrate on ambushing the parachutes! No matter what the situation, I will keep in touch with you in time! ”
Everyone in the team said goodbye to Zheng Shuwen and quietly went downstairs. Liu Guodong was originally at the end, but he pushed Yu Songyuan behind. Yu Songyuan was jumping in the distance, and he couldn't move under his feet. The witch saw it in her eyes and took the initiative to hug him tightly. The enchantress closed her eyes, held his head, kissed his lips, nose, and eyes greedily, and said in her mouth, "These people are mercenaries...... It's so powerful, you can't be careless...... Don't miss ......"
Yu Songyuan hugged her graceful body, listening to her like a puppet, and told in his mouth, "Sister Xu is the soul of Naga, and Yingya is the core of the clan, so there can be no risk." It's all up to you......"
The armed warriors of the tribe downstairs are on duty seriously. Lin Zhumin quietly checked the posts of the lurking sentry again, and all of them were in place. Lin Tao glanced at his watch and said anxiously, "What's the matter, I haven't come down yet......"
Liu Guodong hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu must have something to arrange......"
A housekeeper dog barked a few times, Yu Songyuan walked downstairs, and the witch also walked downstairs. The demon girl hugged and kissed the team members one by one, and told them again, and the four members of the team got into the underground base from the big grass hut in the sound of dogs barking, and rowed towards the gate by boat.
Xu Tianyi and Yingya were in the middle room, through the gaps in the bamboo wall, and they saw everything in the hall. The two women let out a long breath one after another, unable to say anything. Especially Xu Tianyi, there is only bitterness in his heart.
At 10 o'clock, Yu Songyuan led the team to the small pier of the base, he and Lin Tao walked to the small square leading to the gate of the Nankang River, while Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin ran to the power station cave.
After a while, the two of them came back with a small cylinder of diesel, a large roll of wires, and a knife and key switch. Liu Guodong first modified the control switch of the gate, and then opened the gate. After a loud rumbling sound, the stone door opened. Everyone entered the big cave outside the gate, Liu Guodong carried the key switch, and Lin Zhumin carried the line car along the stone crack on the ground.
More than ten meters away from the gate, Liu Guodong connected the switch. The gate slammed shut with a bang. Another knife was pressed, and the door rumbled open again. After the test, the gate is finally closed.
He put the switch in a waterproof wire box and hid it in the cracks in the rock, and the team walked out of the cave together.
At this time, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning, the sky was foggy, and the jungle and bamboo forest were covered with a layer of white mist as thick as milk, and the vision was poor. The river had dried up, and only the stream in the middle was trickling. Liu Guodong observed for a while, and then led the team to walk downstream along the jungle by the river.
After walking for about a few hundred meters, this is a slightly wider part of the source of the river valley, and there are obvious traces of human eradication of plants. "This should be the alternate landing field." Liu Guodong said.
They walked about a thousand meters downstream, and here was a deep waterhole.
It was a little brighter, and a herd of large black buffaloes, fat and clumsy, camped not far from the waterhole. A few wild boars, squeaking and drinking by the waterhole. In the forest, from time to time, the sound of monkeys playing, the murmuring of early birds, and the chorus of chorus.
"Hey, hahaha......"
On the high mountain on the right side of the river valley, a loud shout was suddenly heard. The voice was high-pitched, full of energy, and it came from afar, as if it was not far away. After the shouting, there was a chaotic, noisy "hahaha" laughter. It's as if someone told a super ridiculous joke and everyone laughed.
The laughter lasted about three to five minutes before it stopped. Everyone in the team understood that this was the voice of the gibbon, a "jungle singer" who loved to sing, singing loudly.
In the wee hours of the morning, in the chaotic and noisy chorus of the jungle, a jungle leopard lies quietly under the bushes under the bamboo forest, its eyes fixed on a few wild boars drinking water.
But it may not have any intention of hunting, and the arrival of the team caused the wild boars to disperse in a hurry, and the leopards quietly retreated into the depths of the bamboo forest. And more than a dozen huge buffaloes silently stared at the four of them, lazy, snorting heavily, and they didn't bother to move. The two calves began to play around early in the morning.
The team walked past the herd, and Liu Guodong suddenly turned into the bamboo forest on the right side of the river and climbed up the mountain.
The mountain on the right side of the river is the first hill under the main peak of Mount Prei, at least 1,500 meters above sea level. Liu Guodong silently drove the road ahead, and when the team passed by a sparse locust forest, he stopped.
"Ghost, breakfast here. Below, there will be a difficult mountain trail! ”
This is a glade, under the forest is a flat meadow, the soil layer is thick, about two or three acres of land. Inside, there are piles of floating soil, some of which have been dug by animals such as wolves or leopards, and they are of varying heights and lows.
"Okay, breakfast right here!" Yu Songyuan lifted the "scarf" around his head and nodded.
The people sat down on the rubble at their feet, took out the beef, and began to eat. From time to time, leeches on the trees were like bullets, shooting at everyone "pop" and "pop", and everyone didn't bother to pay attention. The ponchos, turbans, and clothing were all dyed with medicine, and after being hit by the leeches, they quickly shrank into a ball in panic and rolled to the ground.
There was a large pile of floating soil under Lin Tao's feet, and next to the stone next to it, there was a big soil hole, and a hairy head shook at the mouth of the hole, and disappeared into the hole in a flash.
"There's a badger in the hole, quick, badger hole!" Lin Tao was still childlike, and rushed over in surprise and shouted.
Liu Guodong glanced at it and said lazily, "No, it's a marmot." ”
"Groundhogs? You're not kidding, it's been a few months now, and it doesn't hibernate? Lin Zhumin was skeptical.
"It's a groundhog, and it's supposed to hibernate in late October and early November. I can't say why the marmots here don't hibernate now, maybe it's because of the high temperature. This thing is vegan, it's attracted to your tortilla, you don't scare it, throw a piece of pie and it will come out. ”
Lin Tao was suspicious, broke a small piece of tortilla, and gently put it at the mouth of the hole. After a while, a small head with dark eyes and a shruggy hair stretched out of the cave tremblingly. Raising his head to observe the team, he saw that everyone was only eating and drinking, and did not pay attention to it, so he stretched out his fleshy stubby front paws, grabbed the tortilla and chewed it as if no one was there.
After eating, he rubbed to Lin Tao's side little by little, and looked at it pitifully.
Lin Tao broke a small piece and handed it to it, and it actually took a big bite with its two front paws and chewed it. After a while, two more trembling came out of the hole, and their chubby bodies squatted in front of Lin Tao, looking at him with a cute look. Lin Tao had no choice but to break two more small pieces and distribute them to them. They immediately picked it up and ate it violently.
Marmots are social animals, and at this time, in the hole entrance, there are still hairy heads that stick out from time to time to take a look, but they are too small to dare to drill out.
Lin Zhumin also broke a few small pieces for them, and a big marmot with six or seven catties in his feet actually walked in front of Lin Zhumin, sat on the ground like a human, and held fragrant corn tortillas on his two forelimbs, chewing wildly without defense. Lin Zhumin stretched out his hand to caress its round head and back, but it didn't react.
As they set out, three chubby marmots reluctantly followed them all the way to the edge of the meadow. Everyone had to stop and touch their fleshy little heads, and after saying goodbye, they continued to climb up the mountain.
"Ghost, camp is normal. Naga wants to talk to you! Suddenly, the witch's voice came from the walkie-talkie headset.
