The moment Fan Meng extinguished the flashlight, there was a gunshot from He Chenxue's side, and a bullet directly hit Qian Xiuye's headlamp, and at the same time as the headlamp was shattered, the fragments cut his forehead.

At the same time, all the lights on He Chenxue's side were all extinguished, and Mo Duqiao and his mercenaries immediately put on night vision devices and began to counterattack, and the two sides exchanged fire, because the other party was the only one who fired at Mu Tianjian, and Mo Duqiao and the others immediately had the upper hand.

"Ceasefire!" Mo Dui Bridge, who was squatting in the hot spring river, ordered, and whispered to Yuan Zhenba, "You and Fan Meng cover Master to cross the river first, we cover, quickly!" ”

Yuan Zhenba nodded, and glanced at the upstream reluctantly, although he knew that this was not an opportunity to get out at all, but he still had a certain hope.

Yuan Zhenba and Fan Meng were holding Qian Xiuye on the left and right, and when they walked towards the opposite side, Mo Duqiao squatted there, carefully inspecting the upstream, because there was thick steam floating on the surface of the hot spring river, and there was no strong air flow around, he couldn't see clearly at all, but it was also because of this reason that Mu Tianjian's shot didn't hit Qian Xiuye before.

"Cover in two." Ink Twilight Bridge whispered, and then the mercenaries behind him began to walk towards the opposite bank in a two-man alternate cover formation.

At the same time, Mu Tianjian, who was upstream of the river, was also wearing night vision devices to search for Qian Xiuye downstream, and at the same time instructed others to move slowly towards the opposite side.

"You're not leaving?" Before leaving, Fan Jun asked in a low voice.

Mu Tianjian just shook his head silently, he would not let go of any opportunity to kill Qian Xiuye, which was also the main reason why he had never left China and was willing to be hired by He Chenxue.

However, when passing through the Scarlet Gallery, Mu Tianjian was hallucinating, and finally saw the true thoughts that he had been hiding in his heart, Sheng Yutang helped him at the beginning, not because he was kind, but because Sheng Yutang found that Mu Tianjian was a person who could be used.

Mu Tianjian actually knew it from the beginning, but he didn't want to think about it that way, as a guerrilla who roamed the jungle all year round, the biggest enemy he faced was not bullets, not a bad environment, but betrayal.

He can't count the number of betrayals he has experienced, and almost no one has really reached out to him, except for Sheng Yutang, so when Sheng Yutang told him that he would pay for his mother's treatment, he abandoned all his past distrust of people and decided to give everything for Sheng Yutang, the master.

He knelt down to Sheng Yutang at that time, like a slave who had sworn to follow and surrender forever.

"Let's go!" Chen Taidong squatted behind Mutian Fitness and said in a low voice, "The water vapor here is too thick, you can't see the target clearly." ”

Mu Tianjian took out a spare pistol and handed it to Chen Taidong: "Old man, do me a favor." ”

Chen Taidong didn't take a pistol, but just asked, "You talk about it first." ”

"When you cross the river and find cover, fire two shots downstream, and then dodge." Mu Tianjian looked at Chen Taidong, "Please, even if you can't kill Qian Xiuye, you have to reduce some threats, right?" ”

Chen Taidong thought for a while, took the gun, turned around and crossed the river.

Mu Tianjian shifted his position, aiming his gun at the river, and downstream, after Mo Dusk Bridge also changed positions, he stared ahead, and at the same time motioned for the others to speed up and leave.

Chen Taidong went ashore, hid behind a rock, checked the pistol, quickly fired two shots according to Mu Tianjian's request, and then leaned over to hide.

Two shots later, the mercenaries on the river bank downstream immediately opened fire on the spot where the muzzle fire flashed, and in less than ten seconds, the side of the rock was shattered.

Mo Duqiao immediately said: "Ceasefire!" Switch your place! Hurry up! You've been exposed! ”

Mu Tianjian, who was in the center of the Hot Spring River, locked the location of those mercenaries in those ten seconds, in this darkness, the weapons they held were the same as the pistol that Chen Taidong was holding, without a muzzle silencer, and at the moment of shooting, the fire of the muzzle had completely exposed their position.

Mu Tianjian accurately judged from the position of the muzzle flame and the sound of the gun that most of them were holding AK series assault rifles, and quickly calculated the approximate distance between the head and the muzzle when aiming with the gun, and then raised the pistol in his hand that he had modified himself, and after firing three shots in a row, he changed positions and fired two shots in a row, and then plunged into the river, grabbed the stones in the river, and swam towards the opposite bank.

Mu Tianjian's five shots hit the two mercenaries beside Mo Duqiao, and if the other three hadn't adjusted their positions after the shot, I am afraid they would have been like those two, one was shot in the eyebrow, and the other was shot in the throat.

Mo Duqiao didn't shoot back immediately, although he did have a chance during the transfer pause period after Mu Tianjian fired the first three shots, but he didn't do that, because he didn't know how many people there were on the other side, if Mu Tianjian was not alone, once he shot and exposed his position, the person who was hiding would lock on him, then he would either die or be seriously injured.

Ink Twilight grabbed the bodies of the two dead mercenaries and carefully dragged them to the river with the others, then sat there, staring blankly.

Fan Meng walked back slowly and looked at the corpse on the ground: "Broken two more?" It seems that He Chenxue has found a master this time. ”

Fan Meng deliberately stimulated Mo Dui Bridge with his words, in fact, he wished that Mo Du Qiao would bring someone over with a gun right now and kill all of He Chenxue's group.

Yuan Zhenba saw that the opportunity was coming, and immediately stepped forward, picked up the assault rifle of one of the mercenaries, and handed it to Fan Meng: "You can do it." ”

Fan Meng didn't speak, just smiled at Yuan Zhenba, shook his head again, and walked towards Qian Xiuye, who was sitting in front of him resting.

Qian Xiuye looked back, and then turned to look at the fading green tide on the other side of the river, it seemed that the luminous spider really didn't dare to cross the river.

Qian Xiuye said: "Stop and rest, Dusk Bridge, you rest for a while, and then take someone to the front to investigate the situation, we will be more and more dangerous to run around like headless flies." ”

Mo Duqiao got up and answered the word "yes", and then began to comfort the mercenaries who had escaped death and were still under great pressure in their hearts.

Yuan Zhenba sat against the rock, thinking about how to escape from Qian Xiuye's side, because he really couldn't stay any longer, and he also regretted agreeing to Qiguan's request to be an undercover agent who would not die.

In the rocky group on the bank of the upper river on the far right, Xingshu and the others are also resting in place, Xingshu and Qiguan are okay, at least they are not woken up just after falling asleep, and they can still concentrate and maintain their mental state, while the others are very uncomfortable, not to mention the pain in their heads, plus they have walked in the hot spring river, and they are weak.

Lian Jiuqi took off his coat: "The clothes are all wet, fortunately, the temperature is not low, otherwise, we will fall ill one by one sooner or later." ”

Yan Gang and Chen Fang had already taken off their clothes, even their pants, and put them directly on the rock next to them, because they found that the rock was warm, and it was not low, just like a heating pipe.

The others followed suit, because it was so uncomfortable to wear that wet clothes that even Maffei hid on the other side of the rock, taking off his outer clothes, leaving only an underwear.

"Take a ten-minute break, let's go check the front." Yan Gang said to Chen Fang.

"Okay, ten minutes." Chen Fang looked at the table and closed his eyes, "Then I'll sleep for another ten minutes." ”

Lian Jiuqi asked the torture technique in a low voice: "Did you see it just now?" He Chenxue and they also came out, if I guessed correctly, the next road is estimated to be difficult to walk. ”

"I don't understand what you mean." ”

Qi Guan on the side said: "What your father means is that judging from the previous situation on the bank of the river, after crossing this river, I am afraid that there will be no fork in the road ahead." ”

When Ma Fei heard this, he peeked out from the side of the rock: "That means that He Chenxue, Qian Xiuye, and we will all move forward on the same road?" Isn't that just a fight for us? ”

Xingshu frowned: "The Cast Iron Immortal will design three paths, and it is estimated that he also has his considerations." ”

Bai Zhongzheng analyzed: "There must be special considerations, I suspect that there are not only three stone chambers before the three roads, but also three corridors, and there must be some important clues hidden in them, if you just walk alone, without getting a complete clue, you will be stuck when you go to a certain place, and then it will be over, but if several groups of people divide into several roads and come in, even if you can get other clues, maybe there are other mechanisms waiting for you, it will not be so simple." ”

Everyone fell silent, speculating in their hearts that ten minutes later, Yan Gang took Chen Fang, wearing a vest and underwear, and touched it forward, but because the shoes were still damp, the two of them felt very uncomfortable when they walked.

Shuttling among the rocks, Yan Gang left marks along the way, worried about getting lost in them.

Chen Fang looked at Yan Gang, who was carving a mark, and asked, "I feel that you trust Mr. Qi very much, did you know him before?" ”

Yan Gang smiled: "I don't know it." ”

Chen Fang asked strangely, "What do you mean?" ”

Yan Gang asked Chen Fang rhetorically: "You should trust Fu Mingwei very much, right?" ”

Chen Fang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Of course, he is a respectable person." ”

Yan Gang stopped, glanced behind Chen Fang, and asked in a low voice, "Then can you tell me what the final action of the police is this time?" ”

Chen Fang shook his head: "I'm no longer a policeman." ”

Yan Gang smiled: "Chen Fang, I know that you were an armed police officer at the beginning, and you worked undercover for many years, and then you were transferred back, so now your job is the same as before, and you can be regarded as an undercover agent sent by the police, but you were in the dark in the past, and now you are in the light." ”

Chen Fang also smiled: "The principle of the police is the law, don't tell me that the law is nothing more than human affection, it won't work, if human affection can be confused with the law, then the law has been trampled on, so, I can only tell you that good people will be rewarded, and bad people will be judged." ”

Yan Gang shook his head and continued to move forward: "What you said is the same as what you didn't say. ”

Chen Fang stopped Yan Gang: "Are you worried about yourself?" ”

"I have experienced more life and death than you, and many things have long been downplayed." Yan Gang said, climbed the rock next to him, then turned around and pulled Chen Fang up, and then looked forward with a flashlight, and found that the cave where the rock group was located seemed to be surprisingly large.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Gang took out the signal gun, and after putting on a flare, he squatted there and shot it into the air, and then immediately lay down with Chen Fang, they were worried that if their location was exposed, they would be attacked by Qian Xiuye and others.

The moment the flare took off, the Ink Twilight Bridge and a mercenary who were surveying on the other side immediately dodged and hid beside the rock, staring at the flare to rush to the top of the cave and then slowly fall.

Ink Twilight Bridge immediately leaned against the rock, clapped his hands, and motioned for the mercenary to step on him and hurry up.

The mercenary stepped on the outstretched thighs and shoulders of the Twilight Bridge, climbed to the top of the rock in a few steps, looked around, and did not find the person who fired the flare, so he looked into the distance, and found that in the center of the rock group, there was a waterhole, and above the waterhole there was an upside-down stone pillar, the tip of which was slowly dripping water into the waterhole.

The mercenary immediately turned around and lay down, and reported what he saw to Modui Bridge, at the same time as he reported, on the other side of the rock, Chen Taidong and Mu Tianjian also saw the waterhole in the center, the two glanced at each other, and took the time to scan the surroundings, remembering the general situation of the rock group, and then turned over and jumped off the rock.

Mu Tianjian jumped down, swallowed his saliva, and checked the weapon in his hand: "Old man, what do you think?" ”

"Labyrinth, that's the first trouble, but we at least know what the center of the maze is." Chen Taidong smiled and licked his lips, "That's the second trouble, no, it should be regarded as the hope of trouble." ”

Mu Tianjian frowned: "I didn't understand what you meant." ”

Chen Taidong pointed to the kettle next to Mu Tianjian's backpack: "How much water do you have?" ”

Mu Tianjian licked his lips: "You can drink two sips at most." ”

"And what about the backup water source?" Chen Taidong asked again, "You should have a number, right?" ”

Mu Tianjian understood what Chen Taidong meant: "The water is not enough, even if we save to drink, so many people will only die for a day, if we can't find a supplementary water source, we will either die of thirst, or we will risk turning around and going back." ”

After speaking, Mu Tianjian looked at the location in the center of the pool: "That pool is our supplementary water source, the temperature here is so high, and the further you go in, the higher it gets, the water in that hot spring river is absolutely undrinkable, so you just said that the rock maze is the first trouble, and the second trouble is the pool." ”

Chen Taidong smiled: "Yes, they are also over there, of course, for me, that's a good thing, but for your employer, the torture is now considered an enemy, not to mention the money cultivation that is eyeing over there, our three groups of people don't bring much water, that water source is the only chance to replenish, whoever gets there first will take the lead." ”

Mu Tianjian nodded: "That's right, if you set up an ambush there, the people who come to fetch water behind will be equivalent to coming and dying, so we can't let Qian Xiuye take the lead!" ”

After Mu Tianjian finished speaking, he squatted down and took off his shoes and hung them on his waist: "Old man, please go back and inform Miss He first, I will rush over as quickly as possible." ”

Chen Taidong nodded: "Be careful, this is a maze." ”

Mu Tianjian pointed to the top of the rock next to him: "It's okay, if I get lost, I will climb up, wear night vision goggles, and I can see the general direction more or less." ”

Mu Tianjian and Chen Taidong said goodbye, one forward, the other backward.

At the same time, Mo Duqiao also used a walkie-talkie to inform Qian Xiuye about the waterhole.

After Qian Xiuye heard this, he immediately gave the order to move forward: "We can't wait any longer, if we let He Chenxue and the torture technique take the lead, we will be completely finished, let's go!" ”

After Qian Xiuye gave the order, the whole team immediately set off and rushed towards the center of the waterhole.

At the same time, after hearing Yan Gang's report, the torturers and others on the other side also immediately put on their clothes that had not yet dried, walked into the maze of rocks, and walked towards the waterhole in the center.

Although it is possible to climb the rocks next to it from time to time to determine whether the direction of progress is correct, there is still no guarantee of the speed of progress, because the rock group is very complex, and it seems to be pure natural, not deliberately built, not to mention now, in ancient times, it would take fifty or sixty years to place so many strange rocks in underground caves.

Moreover, there is a distance of at least five meters between each rock, and the height is different, if you want to take a shortcut, stand on the rock and jump from one piece to another, it is almost impossible, first of all, the distance is too far, there is no room to run, and secondly, you can jump from the top of the higher rock to the lower place, but there is absolutely no way to jump to the upper end of the higher rock.

After shuttling for a long time, Ma Fei was a little anxious, his face was full of anxiety, and the speed under his feet also accelerated, and he grabbed her wrist and said calmly: "Calm down, think about our previous experience in the dungeon of Ghost Mountain, that kind of environment, we have all broken through, this place is really nothing." ”

Ma Fei took a few deep breaths, nodded, and continued to walk forward with the hand of torture, while Bai Zhongzheng, who was the most agile, acted as an observer, climbing the top of the rock from time to time to show the direction to others.

But what Bai Zhongzheng didn't expect at all was that at this time, at the top of a relatively high stone pillar a hundred meters away from them, a mercenary had already climbed up with great difficulty under Qian Xiuye's instructions, and then put a muffler on his assault rifle, and then took out an 8x optical sight from his backpack and mounted it on the tactical rail.

When ready, the mercenary looked around the stone pillar, where it was almost impossible to lie down, so he could only sit there and put his backpack between his legs as a support for sniping.

Of course, the most troublesome thing is that he uses an AKM assault rifle, which is not suitable for sniping missions at all, but ordinary sniper rifles are worried that they will not be useful in the underground environment, so these mercenaries basically equipped AKM with tactical rails and carried 4 or 8 times the optical sight in case of emergency.

"Boss, I'm ready, I haven't found anyone else for the time being." The mercenary replied that because he was only using an ordinary optical sight and had no night vision function, he could only pray that the target would activate the flashlight and the incendiary stick to expose himself, otherwise, even if he found it with night vision goggles, it would be basically impossible to hit the target.

Soon, Qian Xiuye's order came from the walkie-talkie headset: "Once the target is found, no matter who it is, kill it!" ”
