373 Hope
Towards noon, the Toyota pickup truck crossed the valley to the camp where the Sam's Nation soldiers were located, the camp was located on a flat land between two rocky mountains, and the whole camp was very simple, with only a few military tents, a military truck and a military jeep.
At this time, in front of the camp, 10 Sam Nation GIs stood in a line, and a black sergeant walked back and forth in front of them with his hands behind his back.
Rorschach parked his Toyota pickup truck some distance away from the camp and asked everyone to get out of the car first, but not near the camp, which was not a good time to bother.
The black sergeant turned his head to look at the pickup that was parked not far away, and then he turned his head to stare at the GIs in front of him who were maintaining a straight military posture, his gaze sweeping over the faces of each GI, from head to tail and back to end.
He smiled coldly and grinned:
"Very good, you are all very scrappy, and you are fighting here, I have to applaud you."
Hearing the words of the black sergeant, all the GIs were breathless, especially the two GIs who had just caused the conflict, they swallowed with great difficulty, and no one knew how the sergeant would punish them next.
"You guys, remember yesterday's drill? 17 civilians were killed, and their own casualties were heavy! I was so surprised! The black sergeant walked up to a chubby GI, "Cole! Do you still want to pick up a helmet without cover? The head is gone, and I'm wearing a fart! ”
Then, the black sergeant walked up to a blonde female soldier.
"Sheila! Don't throw the gun away for the headphones, it's better to be deaf than dead! ”
The black sergeant looked at the GI next to the female soldier again.
"And you, Napoleon!"
"Yes, Sergeant Napoli!"
"That's a good answer, you're really a killer, almost blowing up the entire squad in 6 seconds! This is an amazing achievement, and it appeals to one of the anti-war people in the squad! ”
The black sergeant smirked coldly and looked at the other GI.
That guy actually shouted "I want to talk, don't confront him", and then rushed out like Rambo, if this is not acting but actual combat, I guess I won't be able to take him back to the barracks at all! You say yes, right? Dunespoli? ”
"Sorry, Sergeant!" The GI named Dunespoli hurriedly explained, "I don't mean all wars, I just think that the Grand Commander is lying too much. ”
"All the archons lie!" The black sergeant pointed at Dunespoli's nose and yelled, "You idiot, their job is to do this, do you understand!?" ”
"Yes, Sergeant!"
Private Dunespoli hurriedly lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly into the black sergeant's gaze.
The black sergeant said:
"No one has ever said the truth since Grand Commander Truman, but do you know what else he said?"
"I don't know!"
"He said he was against it and that's it!"
"Yes, Sergeant!"
The black sergeant snorted, his gaze swept over the GIs, and said in a cold voice:
"Alright, now that the guests have arrived, you all give me what to do, check every inch of the surrounding land, and I want to know where those damn scientists have gone!"
"Yes, Sergeant!"
The GIs responded in unison.
The black sergeant let out a long sigh, turned to look at the Toyota pickup, and then beckoned to Rorschach and them.
Seeing this, the soldiers behind him also hurriedly dispersed in all directions.
Rorschach walked up to the black sergeant with Isabella and Bob's family.
"I'm Sam Nation Army, Sergeant Napoli."
Sergeant Napoli said, taking a look at Rorschach.
"We are the sheriffs of Sleepy Town, and they are all citizens of Sam's Country."
Rorschach flashed his badge and handed Sergeant Napoli the passport he had prepared in advance.
Sergeant Napoli took the passport, opened it one by one, looked at it, pouted, and asked curiously:
"What are you doing in this place?"
"That's ......"
Rorschach told Sergeant Napoli about their encounter with the Deviants here.
When Sergeant Napoli heard this, he frowned, stared at Rorschach and asked:
"You said you met a deviant?"
"Yes."
Rorschach nodded.
"I see," Sergeant Napoli nodded, returning his passport to him, "I guess they're just crooked bandits, don't worry, they're not going to show up with us." ”
Rorschach frowned slightly when he heard Sergeant Napoli's words, and he asked:
"Are you looking for someone here?"
"Yes," Sergeant Napoli pouted, "to be precise, to deliver supplies here, and to show these poor fellows to the world by the way, but the scientists who stayed here don't know where they went, and we're waiting for them to come back." ”
Rorschach nodded, and asked again:
"Can you send us back to Sam's Country first?"
"Not right now," Sergeant Napoli shook his head, "you should know that this operation is a covert operation, and when the mission is over, I will take you back to Sam's Country, but it will not be easy for you to return home." ”
"Why?"
Bob was a little anxious when he heard this.
"Don't worry," Rorschach quickly turned around and explained for Sergeant Naapoli, "we have to go to the barracks first, and we can go home after being vetted." ”
"Yes." Sergeant Napoli nodded behind me, then pointed to a tent, "You guys go there and rest first." ”
Bob, who was also a former soldier, reacted immediately and walked to the tent with the family, young and old, and Isabella.
Rorschach didn't follow Bob and they went into the tent to rest.
Sergeant Napoli looked at Rorschach and asked puzzled:
"Sheriff, is there anything else you can do?"
"I'd say those aberrants might be nearby."
"You're saying the researchers were kidnapped by the aberrants?"
Sergeant Napoli frowned.
"I don't think it's just kidnapping."
Rorschach shook his head.
Sergeant Napoli frowned slightly, nodded and said:
"I know, I'll contact them again."
With that, he turned to a soldier standing next to the military truck and shouted:
"Tom, how's the radio?"
"No response, sergeant, I think it's probably because of the terrain!"
"Keep trying!" Sergeant Napoli turned to Rorschach and beckoned, "Sheriff, let's go look at the map." ”
Rorschach nodded, and followed Sergeant Napoli into a military tent.
At this moment, the GI named Napoleon walked in front of Sergeant Napoli.
"Napoleon!" Sergeant Napoli stopped him suddenly, "Where the hell are you going?" ”
"Report, I want to go to the bathroom!"
Private Napoleon hurriedly replied.
Sergeant Napoli turned his head to look at the improvised bathroom in the corner of the camp, glared at Napoleon and yelled:
"Are you kidding me? You're training for a mountain attack now! There are no toilets and sinks in Kandahar! You can only handle any harsh environment, you know? ”
"Understood!" Private Napoleon nodded hurriedly, "But what do I use if I don't have toilet paper?" ”
"Use your hands!"
"Yes, Sergeant!"
Private Napoleon hurriedly turned around, not daring to go any further to the improvised bathroom.
Sergeant Napoli took a breath, shook his head helplessly, looked at Rorschach and said:
"These recruits are really anxious."
Rorschach shrugged, noncommittal, and followed Sergeant Napoli into the military tent.
