At this critical moment related to his life, the middle-aged man did not make a mistake, but instantly decided the general direction in his heart.

After all, after living here for so long, even a person from a village rarely knows the people in the vicinity better than him, let alone these big-headed soldiers?

A family of three is not the kind of frail and sickly, and walking mountain roads is a habitual thing for them.

And those imperial soldiers have to worry about whether there are neutral zone stragglers in the village, and they also have to worry about Ye Ming and Qi Chen, the two wanted criminals who have done "big things", so after entering the village, they have been groping their way forward, and they can't get up quickly.

And the location of the middle-aged man's house happened to be in the center of the village, so by the time those imperial soldiers had groped their way here, the family of three had already entered the forest.

"It seems to be a bit overdone in this neighborhood."

An Imperial soldier shook his head and sniffed nearby, not without concern to his companion.

The smell of oil smoke usually lasts for a while while while cooking, and the windier the place, the longer the smell, so it is not surprising that it is smelled by the Empire.

Several other Imperial soldiers in the same class subconsciously grabbed their guns when they heard this.

Since there is a cook nearby, then there must be someone living there, but there are many possibilities for this "person".

It may be the villagers who live here, or the stragglers in the neutral zone, or Ye Ming and Qi Chen have rested here.

If it's the first one, then they don't have to worry about it, but if they change to the latter two, especially the last two guys with a high degree of danger, then their lives are in danger at all times.

"Check it out!"

The Imperial squad leader also sniffed the surroundings, and then stretched out his finger at the previous house of three, and several Imperial soldiers who had cooperated for a long time immediately understood what the squad leader meant.

The ten people were divided into three teams in an instant, four of them ran to the main gate with their waists, three came to the back of the courtyard wall, and the other three chose to break through the wall from the side of the courtyard wall.

They are all young and strong young men, and things like going over the wall and breaking down the door are not a problem for them.

Quickly entering the courtyard, the three teams approached the target house from three directions, and then observed the inside of the house from various angles, and were roughly sure that there were no traces of people inside.

Of course, this alone can't let go of the heart that has been lifting, who knows if there are any insidious traps laid by someone inside.

Anything can happen in times of war, and there were examples of them when the Imperials were advancing wildly.

A family living on the edge of the Neutral Zone was a fanatical racist and a veteran of the Last Great Patriotic War.

The Neutral Zone people didn't have to hold out on to the front line for much longer, but the veteran and the nearby Orions took advantage of the location to delay the Imperial advance troops for a full hour, and it was a mystery whether it was solved in the end.

Of course, the specific content is the military secret of the Empire, and these big-headed soldiers only know a little bit of gossip from the side.

Squeak

Just when these soldiers decided to break down the door, the door of the middle-aged family's room that was hidden when they left was open without wind, and the sound came from far away.

Several soldiers at the front door were taken aback by the sound and immediately looked for cover.

After a long time, a soldier pretended to be brave enough to touch it, and when he saw that there was no danger, he waved his hand behind him to signal safety.

Several Imperial soldiers exhaled at the same time, and then cautiously entered the door with their guns in hand.

When you bring it to the hall, you can see a mess on the dining table, and it is obvious that someone has eaten here not long ago.

Reaching out and testing the food, the dish still had residual warmth, and the rice was not even hard.

It seems that the people here have only been left for about an hour at most.

"Safety!"

"Safety!"

"Safety!"

Soldiers from three directions entered the house from three positions, and after meeting, several leading soldiers looked at the squad leader and reported the situation.

The squad leader frowned and swallowed his spit, the previous order was a little abrupt, so they were all sent out before they could catch up with the hotel, and at this time, seeing these leftovers, their stomachs instinctively began to protest.

"Rest in place and report the situation here immediately."

As soon as the squad leader's voice fell, he sat down on a chair and took out the dry food and canned food he had brought with him.

The rest of the soldiers smiled tacitly when they heard this, and then they began to find suitable places, some went into the bedroom, some tried to sit directly on the floor, and two ran directly to the door, found a relatively private place to start eating.

At the same time, a family of three on the other side finally came to the cave behind the village after more than ten minutes of walking.

This cave can be regarded as a common granary granary in the village, there is electricity in the cave, and the temperature is not high.

Every family likes to store some surplus grain here every year, even if there is a disaster in a year and there is no harvest, then these heavy grains can come in handy, and the province will have to turn to the government.

There are not only simple grains in it, but even a few families who like to hunt also store a lot of bacon here.

Of course, there are no other families like a middle-aged family of three who live here all the year round, and most of the villagers live in the city without poor money, and only come here for a fixed period of time every year.

And all the mechanization of farmland and everything, just set the degree, and no one needs to worry about it at all.

When the middle-aged family arrived here, they familiarly took out a few backpacks, which were all needed for hunting in the mountains before, but two of them belonged to someone else's, but now they are used for emergencies.

After putting on the equipment for entering the forest, the middle-aged man led the two women of the family to several wooden boxes at the corner of the cave.

The box had not moved for a long time, so a thick layer of dust had fallen on it, and the key was found under the box.

"Click" opened the box, and through the dim light, you could see that there were actually a few good-looking semi-automatic rifles in it, and there were countless golden bullets.

He skillfully took two guns and handed them to the women, after which the man took a few small cloth pockets in the alley, filled them with bullets and issued them again.

In short, by the time the family came out of the cave, they had already changed into the costume of a mountain hunter, and where could they still see the appearance of the previous family of three.

And Ye Ming and Qi Chen, who had been secretly watching this family of three, couldn't help but glance at each other in the hideout, and then the corners of their mouths rose up at the same time.

Originally, I wanted to use these three clumsy civilians to catch a wave of praying mantis and yellow finches, but I didn't expect the other party to be as unbearable as they imagined, and it seems that this game is more interesting than they expected.
