Chapter XXVII

"Molotov cocktails! Dog's day, began to suspect that the snowy mountains were on the clearing of the alpine meadows below. Liu Guodong leaned on the entrance of the cave and observed for a while, then walked back to the cave and said.

Shisharma grabbed Yu Songyuan's arm and asked nervously, "What should I do then?" They're going to be suspicious of the snowy mountains, and we can't sit still here. ”

Yu Songyuan is actually more nervous, above 5,000 meters of the snow-capped mountain, it is simply a forbidden area for life, and no one can survive on it for a long time. But now it's definitely not possible to go down the mountain. The reason why the 334th Independent Detachment only used helicopters to search the meadows on the top of the mountains at a height of more than three or four thousand meters shows that the border search has not yet been completed.

Besides, in the middle of the Hindu Kush mountain range, like this alpine meadow and snow-capped mountain glacial lake below, there will be dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, let them blow up one by one. They couldn't tell, just above this alpine meadow and glacial lake, behind the snow line, the big snowy mountains hid the person they were looking for.

"No, we can't leave here for the time being, we have to hide here for a few more days!" Yu Songyuan made a decision, Liu Guodong thought about it for a while, and nodded in agreement. Seeing that the two of them were in agreement, Hirsalma pursed her lips, although her heart was not steady, but she no longer insisted.

In the second half of the night, Liu Guodong was on duty. After Yu Songyuan finished his shift, he got into his sleeping bag to sleep. Hirsalma lay in her sleeping bag, and quietly moved herself over little by little, sticking to Yu Songyuan's sleeping bag, and soon the two of them rested their heads against their heads, and fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, in the sound of wind and snow howling outside, it seemed that the call of a man continued to sound.

Yu Songyuan woke up from his sleep and raised his head to listen. Liu Guodong said with a smile, "The mountain was burned, and this dog day has come to surrender." ”

"What kind of trick is he shouting?"

"I don't understand, it seems to have German, English, and Pashto. What is his name Thomas, to the effect that I'm going to freeze to death, we're the same kind of people, I'm going to fight, I can help you, can I come in? Wait a minute. ”

Hirsalma also stood up, and the rest of the team woke up. "Will there be fraud?" Seeing that Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong were very calm, Hissarma asked uneasily.

Yu Songyuan got up and raised AKS-74 alert, Liu Guodong walked out of the cave, and brought in a "monster" for a while, which frightened all the personnel of the "Plateau Wolf Resistance Organization" to stand up.

This is a tall "wild man" dressed in animal skins, and he is a full 1.9 meters tall. The man wore a sheepskin "hat" on his head, a sheepskin "coat" wrapped around his body, and several layers of animal skins wrapped around his feet. Around the waist, a rope made of rattan is tied. The whole body, except for the wool, is snow, and the whole body is a wild man.

The most shocking thing was that there was a half-meter-high black snow sculpture squatting on his shoulder. Like a large eagle, it is jet black, with white wings at the tops, yellow tail feathers, and a metallic sheen on the back under the light of a campfire. The sharp toes and claws are pure black, the hooked mouth is black-brown, the eyes are blood-red and sharp, and the image is extremely fierce and chilling.

He was followed by a majestic highland adult female snow wolf. He was about the size of a small landlord, with thick limbs and a long red tongue. When it had entered the cave, the little landlord looked up and looked at it, then stood up and walked over in a friendly manner, and sniffed its tail very trivially. Then, the two plateau snow wolves walked back silently together, and fell asleep together.

This scene made Liu Guodong want to beat the little landlord.

The man put the snow sculpture on a rock on the cave wall and stood, his eyes, still shining in the light of the bonfire, focused, lonely and secluded.

The members of the "Plateau Wolf Resistance" all nervously pointed their guns at him, and the silence and strangeness of the room made the little landlord raise his head and look at him again, and then he snorted very boredly, squeezed his head under his fluffy belly, and fell asleep comfortably.

"Who are you? What is the screaming for? Yu Songyuan lit a cigarette and asked.

The savage bowed, then carefully dusted off the snow from his sheepskin and hair before he said in incoherent English, "My name is Thomas. Horster, a retired major of the 9th German Border Police Brigade, is an officer in the West Asia unit of the SAS. We were defeated in Jalalabad more than two years ago, and from there we were hunted down and fled to this snowy mountain. ”

When Captain Rooney recruited from among retired soldiers from various European countries, Thomas took the initiative to join SAS. After the formation of the SAS West Asia detachment, it was recognized by the British government in early 1980. At the beginning of its formation, the British did not know the height of the sky, and the West Asian detachment secretly entered the Shanren Islamic Republic that year and lurked in the mountains around Jalalabad.

After careful planning, they secretly attacked a transport convoy at Jalalabad airport.

After the successful attack, the SAS West Asia detachment did not transfer its position in time and was surrounded by a reconnaissance company of the 159th Separate Motorized Infantry Regiment, with a total of 24 people, and only two members of the team, Thomas and Haines, escaped. The two of them entered the Hindu Kush Mountains, hid in Tibet for several months, and finally crossed the snowy mountains, and when they came to this alpine meadow, they had run out of ammunition and food.

When they tried to cross the Kunar River after descending the mountain, they were ambushed by the reconnaissance company of the 166th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Asadabad Army, and Haynes was killed in battle, and Thomas fled back to the mountain alone. Since then, the reconnaissance company of the 166th Independent Motorized Infantry Brigade has repeatedly climbed the snow-capped mountains to search and suppress, but Thomas has escaped.

For more than two years, Thomas survived on the mountain with a dagger.

He first killed the two snow leopards that ruled the basin and store away the brown bears with a bonfire, and then became the de facto ruler of the basin. And the polar bear Asadabad garrison, also forgot about him. He has become one of the animals in the basin, he can call every sheep by name, drink goat's milk, and regularly slaughter a sheep or other animals for consumption.

But just one day, two helicopters raided the mountain meadow and fired several incendiary bombs, burning all the grasslands in the alpine meadow. Many of the animals were burned to death, and those who were lucky enough not to be burned to death have scattered and fled for their lives. As a last resort, he made up his mind to go to the snow-capped mountains to join the "Plateau Wolf Resistance Organization".

"How do you know we're the Resistance?"

"Ten days ago, when you passed by, you spared my life. I knew then and then who you were. At that time, I was afraid that you would rob me of my food and territory, and I was ready to fight you for my life. ”

"The meadow is burned, you can find other alpine meadows, huh? In this big mountain, there are such mountain peaks and valleys, plateau glacial lakes, if not 1,000, but 800, and there will be below the snow line in general, food is not a problem, why do you want to come to us? ”

Thomas asked Liu Guodong for a cigarette, took off his own "sewn" sheepskin "coat", sat down and said, "For two years, I have become the chief of the flock, but this can't be done." I'm going to follow you back into the fight, I'm going to return to modern society. I can't be out of touch with modern society. Hey, what's the name of your resistance? ”

Liu Guodong pointed to the small landlord who was sleeping in a ball.

Thomas said, "You're insulting me? ”

Hisalma also said in English, "No one has insulted you, our team is called the 'Plateau Wolf Resistance'." We just want to be like the wolves of the plateau, not afraid of storms, snowstorms, and cold, and indomitable, living and fighting in this country until the polar bears are defeated. Is there something wrong? ”

"Okay, I'll join!"

When Thomas finished smoking, he reached out to Liu Guodong and asked for one. He lit a cigarette, but his eyes looked at Hisalma in confusion. This was the first time he had seen a woman in more than two years after hiding in the snow-capped mountains of the plateau.

Shisharma was seen by him with sweaty hairs standing on end, her back was cold, her legs and stomach were trembling, she hurriedly got into her sleeping bag, and pushed Yu Songyuan, and said in a panic, "Let him go, you can't accept him." This man is a beast, his eyes are about to eat people, and he is by no means a good person! ”

Hawash, Mahmoudi, and others quietly pointed their guns at him.

The wings of the snow sculpture on the cave wall fluttered, and the mouth whistled "quack" and "quack". With a low whistle from Thomas's mouth, the snow sculpture quickly fell silent, remaining motionless on the cave wall.

Yu Songyuan ignored the panicked Hisalma, and pointed to Hisalma and said to Thomas, "This woman is the head of this resistance group. If you want to join, you need to take an oath to her, who is also your 'God'. Allegiance to the 'Plateau Wolf Resistance' must be heard. You can't have anything to do with SAS anymore, you can't violate military discipline, you can't molest women, you can't kill prisoners, and you can leave without permission and be punished as deserters! ”

Hisalma glanced at Yu Songyuan fiercely, and had to sit up angrily, being a god.

Thomas pulled out his dagger, raised it high, faced Hisalma, and swore in English without hesitation, "I, Thomas Horster, a Germanic warrior, swears allegiance to the Virgin Mary and obeys his commands. Consciously break away from the relationship with SAS, abide by military discipline, do not molest women, do not kill prisoners, and never be a deserter! If you violate it, you are willing to be punished! ”

When they were taking the oath sincerely, Hisalma had no choice but to sit down and say solemnly, "You must remember your oath, and we accept you." But if you break your oath, your God will punish you. Then he said dissatisfiedly to Yu Songyuan, "Why do you want to accept him?" ”

Liu Guodong held Thomas's hand and said, "Welcome to join!" ”

Thomas looked at Hisalma and said, "Dear Maria, stretch out your merciful hand and help me, will you?" ”

"Fuck off, my name is Hisalma, find your Maria to help you!" Hisalma said angrily.

Thomas ignored Hisalma's unreasonableness, and slowly lifted the animal skin on his left leg, and behind his calf, there was a piece of skin four or five centimeters large, which had rotted, and yellow water was flowing under the bonfire, which was very terrifying.

"No problem, you lie down with a knife in your mouth."

Yu Songyuan examined it carefully, but it was only epidermal ulcers and skin decay, which only needed to be cut off.
