Chapter 8: Thunder
When the reed flute vomited a large mouthful of blood on the ground, the torture technique, Lian Jiuqi, and Moduqiao all looked at Angu at the same time.
Angu just took out a pill again, crushed it in his hand, put it in the mouth of the reed flute, and let her swallow it with water, when the reed flute finished taking the medicine, and her expression gradually returned to calm, Angu said: "To tell you the truth, you are running out of time, I am not sure how long you can live, the kind of pill I gave you just now, normal people can't take it, it is used for the short-term life of the seriously injured and incurable, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
The reed flute raised his hand and pointed to the backpack next to him: "There is a shockproof compartment at the bottom of my backpack, and there is a notebook with a metal shell inside, and inside is my hand-copied 'password diary', in order to facilitate comparison and viewing, all I use is in Russian, can you understand it?" ”
Lian Jiuqi shook his head: "My Russian is average, and my daily conversation is reluctant, if you want to see that estimate is difficult, torture, what about you?" ”
Torture also shook his head: "My Russian level is also average." ”
Mo Duqiao got up and rummaged through his backpack, then took out the diary, sat there and looked through it, and then looked up at the others, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”
"That's good." There was a slight smile on the face of the reed flute, "Then I will be relieved, that old woman would never have imagined that I still had this diary with me, if she knew, she would definitely regret it." ”
Lian Jiuqi nodded: "Don't worry, I will tell her about it at the right time, and she will regret it." ”
The reed flute said again: "Let's go, I want to be quiet alone, I don't want to die in front of your eyes." ”
Mo Duqiao put away his diary and asked, "Do you have any other wishes?" Revenge, for example? ”
Lian Jiuqi looked at Mo Duqiao with reproachful eyes, because hatred would make the hearts of dying people even more uncalm and more painful.
"No, I don't need you to help me get revenge." The reed flute shook his head, "I brought everything on my own, no need, you guys go quickly, hurry up!" If you don't leave, I'll regret it! Hurry up! ”
Tears flowed down the reed flute as she spoke, and the calm in her eyes turned into endless fear - no one is not afraid of death, let alone someone who knows that he is about to die.
Lian Jiuqi got up and grabbed his backpack, and then Xingshu and Angu also stood up, while Mo Duqiao sat there, staring directly into the eyes of the reed flute.
"Twilight Bridge, let's go." After Lian Jiuqi said this, he turned around and left.
The reed flute raised his hand and pointed to the south and said, "It should be going in that direction, before I fell off the boat, I checked with Ah Le, and the air flow speed over there is faster, and the exit should be over there." ”
Mo Duqiao finally got up, "Thank you." ”
The four of them left the side of the reed flute one after another, and walked towards the south, and after walking a hundred meters, the torture technique stopped, and looked at the bonfire a hundred meters behind them, only to find that the reed flute that was obviously leaning next to the bonfire disappeared.
Torture was a little surprised, and subconsciously picked up the binoculars to look at the location of the bonfire, and found that the reed flute was really gone.
The torture technique immediately handed the telescope to Lian Jiuqi: "The reed flute is gone." ”
Lian Jiuqi glanced at it, and then looked around with a telescope: "What's the matter?" ”
Because the rest of the cave is pitch black, you can't see anything even if you take a telescope.
Mo Duqiao pulled out his gun, clenched it in his hand, and looked around, while Angu was clinging to his body, looking nervous.
"Angu, do you still have the strength to walk?" Torture asked, feeling that the sudden disappearance of the reed flute was not so simple.
An Gu, who was hiding behind Mo Duqiao and shook his head: "Impossible, she is not far from death, it is impossible for her to have the strength to stand up, let alone leave by herself." ”
Xingshu pulled out the dagger, and at the same time touched Lian Jiuqi, who was still in a daze, with his elbow, and motioned for him to take out his weapon.
Lian Jiuqi took out the long knife tied to the knapsack, held it tightly in his hand, and everyone looked around nervously, and then, under the leadership of the torture technique, back to back, slowly returned to the bonfire where the reed flute was before.
Just when the four of them were still about ten meters away from the bonfire, a black shadow suddenly swept quickly from the side of the bonfire, and the passing bonfire was suddenly directly dispersed by an external force, and the wooden blocks that were still burning in the bonfire flew up in all directions and landed two or three meters around.
The four of them immediately stopped, and at the same time squatted down, shining a flashlight in front of them, holding their breath, and observing carefully.
"What was that?" Xingshu asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lian, have you seen clearly?" ”
Lian Jiuqi shook his head: "No, it's like a gust of wind." ”
"Although this cave is large, the flowing air is not capable of producing such a strong wind, and it is estimated that it is a beast. ”
Torture motioned for the other three to stay still, and walked slowly towards the campfire, and when he reached the campfire, he used his flashlight to shine his flashlight on the reed flute's position, and found two clear trails there, which stretched along the reed flute's previous position to the back of a large rock.
Xingshu turned to look at Lian Jiuqi, snapped his fingers, pointed to the right side of the rock, and made a gesture of outflanking.
Lian Jiuqi understood, carrying a knife and slowly bypassing it from the right side, while the torture technique surrounded it step by step from the left side, and the two walked for a while, in order not to reveal their intentions and positions, they almost simultaneously extinguished their headlights.
In the distance, I saw the Modui Bridge where the headlights of the two people were extinguished, and the headlamps were also extinguished, and the headlamps of Angu were also turned off.
Angu said in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" ”
"If you want to die quickly, open it, only the flashlight in your hand is the brightest in the entire cave, and the beast will definitely be the first to find you!" ”
Angu is not stupid, but his failure to turn off the lights is entirely out of human instinct for fear of darkness.
When the torture technique and Lian Jiuqi went around the back of the rock from the left and right, the two of them turned on the lights at the same time, shining behind the rock, and then saw the reed flute lying there.
Lian Jiuqi looked around, and the torture technique stepped forward to probe the reed flute's breathing, shook his head and said, "It's dead." ”
Lian Jiuqi squatted there, pointing to the series of obvious paw prints on the dirt floor: "Look, there are paw prints, what kind of animal does it look like?" ”
The torturer gestured with his hand: "Bear? Looks like a bear, no other large animal would leave such a big mark. ”
Lian Jiuqi nodded: "But there are only four obvious fingerprints, if it is a bear, the bear will leave five very obvious fingerprints, instead of four." ”
Xingshu looked carefully: "According to what you say, it should be a wolf?" But how could a wolf leave such a footprint? Moreover, if you look at the soil next to it, it is not too soft, and the weight of the wolf's body, placed on the four paws, even if the area is smaller and the pressure is greater, it is impossible to leave such deep footprints. ”
Lian Jiuqi gestured with his hand: "Yes, it's very strange, one footprint is wider and bigger than my footprint, but I wear size 43 shoes." ”
Torture glanced around: "No matter, we must leave this place now, or the devil knows what will happen later." ”
After speaking, the torture technique looked at the body of the reed flute and said, "I'm sorry. ”
Xingshu and Lian Jiuqi quickly left, returned to Modui Bridge and Angu, briefly talked about the previous events, and then advanced as fast as they could to the south.
The four of them were almost trotting all the way, and in the process of running, the four of them clearly heard a slight vibration sound on both sides of them, and the leader Lian Jiuqi raised his fist to signal everyone to stop, and while everyone stopped their steps, the vibration disappeared instantly.
Lian Jiuqi looked back at the torture technique and asked, "Did you hear that?" ”
"I heard it, like the footsteps of a wild beast, but very slightly. ”
Lian Jiuqi looked ahead: "Go on!" ”
After Lian Jiuqi had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped again, perhaps because he stopped so abruptly this time, while the sound of their footsteps stopped, the vibrations around them did not disappear, and this time the four of them clearly heard the sound of the beast's feet slapping against the rocks.
"Oops." Lian Jiuqi looked around, "Those things are following us, in order to prevent us from hearing them, they hide their footsteps in our footsteps, we go, they go, we stop, they stop." ”
Angu cried and said, "I just said, you can't get out if you come in here!" ”
Mo Duqiao turned his head to look at Angu: "The person who proposed to go to this cave is also you." ”
Xingshu said: "In addition to moving forward, don't be able to him, hurry up and go, quickly." ”
"Wait!" Mo Duqiao said, squatting down, putting the flashlight on the ground, shining parallel to the ground, pointing to the messy footprints on the ground, "There are footprints on the ground, they are people, it looks like there are at least three or four people, maybe it is Tang Qianrou and them, it seems that we are walking in the right direction, we follow their footprints, it should be no problem." ”
After hearing this, Angu immediately said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" ”
Before Angu could finish speaking, he pulled his legs and ran towards the front, because of his short stature and sudden acceleration, Mo Duqiao couldn't catch him, so he had to run after him, and lowered his voice to tell him not to run so fast.
As the four of them had started running, they could clearly hear their footprints mixed with the footsteps of the beasts, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and from time to time they could tell that the things would run to the top of the rocks to observe them, and from time to time they would jump off the rocks and run and follow them in the dirt beneath the rocks.
Angu finally stopped, and the reason he stopped was very simple - a hole appeared in the mud in front of him, and on the mud ground about five meters to the left of the hole, there was also a body that was already highly decomposed with a piece of flesh missing from its waist.
Angu was dumbfounded, standing there motionless, not daring to move, looking directly at the corpse.
Mo Duqiao grabbed Angu and pressed him against the rock, lowering his voice and shouting angrily, "If you run around again, I'll let you eat bullets and eat your fill!" ”
Just as Angu nodded, Moduqiao raised his eyes and saw that there were more than a dozen tiny grooves on the rocks behind Angu, each of which was about the same size.
Seeing this, Mo Duqiao immediately raised his hand to block the torture technique that was about to step forward to check the corpse: "Don't move! Don't move! ”
"What's wrong?" Lian Jiuqi, who was about to step forward, asked.
Inkwilight swept the surrounding rocks with a flashlight, and found that there were small grooves in the surrounding rocks, and a pool of blood could be clearly seen on the lower rocks directly opposite the crater to the left of the corpse.
Murray stepped forward and shone his flashlight on the bloodstains that stretched into the distance, saying, "No wonder those beasts follow us all the way to this point, but they don't attack us. ”
The torturer asked, "Why?" ”
Mo Duqiao used a flashlight to shine on the pit in front of him and said: "It was a grenade blown up, Tang Qianrou and when they left, they also found these beasts, so they set such a trap, and used the corpse of a mercenary to make a trick mine - the grenade that opened the insurance was pressed under the mercenary's corpse, when one of the beasts stepped forward to eat, the grenade exploded, and the beast was killed on the spot, you see, those dense grooves on the surrounding rocks were caused by the grenade exploding and the steel balls that splashed out." ”
"Understood." Xingshu looked at the pool of blood and said, "The bloodstain was left by the beast that was killed, and the other beasts then dragged its body away, they were very smart, and they were worried that they would encounter this kind of trap again in front, so they didn't chase Tang Qianrou and them again, and after discovering us, they were worried that there were traps ahead, so they didn't set up an ambush in front of us in advance and wait for us, but let us continue to move forward, let us go to the thunder." ”
When Angu heard this, he became even more nervous: "You mean, there may be a trap ahead?" ”
Lian Jiuqi looked ahead: "Anyway, even if there is no such thing as the treacherous thunder set by Tang Qianrou and them in front, there will be an ambush set by this group of beasts, and the possibility of us successfully passing through this cave is almost zero." ”
Angu looked at Lian Jiuqi and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”
"What should I do?" Mo Duqiao pushed Angu, "The path you chose, you take the lead." ”
Angu retreated again and again, retreated behind several people, and kept shaking his head: "I also have good intentions!" How can you take revenge! ”
Torture said: "Twilight Bridge, don't play him, let's walk slowly, you can't walk on the muddy ground below, then walk on the rocks above, although the speed is slower, but at least stand tall, see far, and find out in time if there is a situation." ”
Mo Duqiao nodded: "That's the only way, standing on it, you can still see the footprints left by Tang Qianrou on the muddy ground below." ”
The four of them climbed the rocks and began to jump from one rock to the other, struggling to move forward. Perhaps because of their change of strategy, those beasts in the dark could only keep a distance of at least ten meters from them, staring at them under the rocks in the distance, and did not dare to get too close.
The four of them traveled this way for about an hour, and finally reached the mouth of the smaller cave passage to the south, but trouble arose - they could no longer step on the rocks, and had to jump off the rocks and burrow through the cracks in the cavern boulders, otherwise they could not advance at all.
Xingshu raised his eyes to look at the huge rock in front of him, and then looked down at the relatively open ground opposite the rock gap: "Trouble, there is an open field in front, the rocks around us are too high, the possibility of us going directly over it is too low, we can only pass through this gap." ”
Lian Jiuqi squatted down, looked at the glow stick thrown on the open ground opposite the gap, and looked at it from a few angles: "There are footprints all over there, and there are no other special places, there should be no such thing as treacherous thunder, I'll take the lead, let's go." ”
Saying that, Lian Jiuqi drilled over, and the torture technique followed, and Angu hesitated for a long time, but was still pushed forward by the last Modui Bridge.
Just when Lian Jiuqi was about to walk to the center of the open field, he was about to raise his feet and continue to move forward, when he was suddenly stopped by the Modui Bridge behind him: "Don't move!" Get your feet back! ”
Lian Jiuqi's raised foot stopped, and then tilted his head slightly to look at the four iron bars protruding from the mud on the soles of his shoes that were only a few centimeters.
"Landmines?" Lian Jiuqi gasped, pressed the body of the torture technique next to him, maintained his balance and took a step back, and An Gu on one side was completely stunned, standing there like a sculpture and not daring to move.
Mo Duqiao squatted down, carefully illuminated the surroundings with a flashlight, and slowly moved his body in the direction of Lian Jiuqi: "It's a thunderbolt, there are four pressure-sensing forks on it, it seems that it should be an American-made M2 thunderbolt, before detonation, the main body of the mine on the left side of the pressure-sensing fork will be vacated up to 2 meters, and then explode, with a killing radius of 10 meters." ”
"In other words......" Murwilight Bridge looked at as he lay on the ground, "if you had touched this mine, all the living creatures in this clearing would have been destroyed in a matter of seconds." ”
"Go around! Go around! Angu, who stiffened his body, whispered beside him, sweat dripping down his forehead, "Walk around, don't step on it, it should be fine, right?" Let's go! ”
Mo Duqiao turned his head to look at Angu: "Okay, let's step back, you walk around first." ”
Angu immediately shook his head.
Torture looked at the messy footprints on the clearing and said, "Where there are footprints, there should be no problem, right?" ”
Mo Duqiao shook his head: "These footprints are so messy, just to confuse people, this kind of pressure-sensitive mine, can be connected with other tripline mines, to make a trick mine, in other words, this place, maybe there are other mines, not inductive, so, after they are buried, it is not impossible to carefully hold down the footprints on them with their shoes." ”
When Angu heard this, he was anxious again: "Then what should I do?" Let's go back, let's turn around and go back! ”
"Turn around and go back, you'll be ambushed by those beasts." Xingshu shook his head and said, "Angu, stay calm, or I'll really let you go to the thunder." ”
Angu immediately shut up, but at the same time, he saw the black shadow that suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave in the distance, he slowly raised his finger and pointed to something, wanting to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say it for a long time.
Lian Jiuqi grabbed An Gu's hand, motioned him to put it down, and then raised the flashlight to shine in the direction he pointed, and then, the four of them clearly saw that there was a monster that looked like a man and a bear standing at the entrance of the cave, the monster stood there, its front paws hanging in front, and a pair of dark eyes reflected the light of the flashlight, as if they wanted to use the darkness in their eyes to devour the last hope of the torture art and others.
"It turned out to be a ghost bear." After seeing it clearly, Mo Duqiao took a deep breath, "We're really in trouble this time. ”
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone heard movement around them, and immediately raised the flashlight in their hands to look around, and saw that four ghost bears suddenly appeared on the rocks around the open field, all staring at them with their dark eyes, and at the same time rubbing their thick claws back and forth on the rocks.
Angu leaned on Lian Jiuqi, constantly whispering the language of the Golden Eagle Tribe, as if he was praying, and like a dying man repeating his last words. 2k reading web
