The intense gunfire only rang out for a while before stopping.

"It looks like the battle is over."

Rorschach withdrew his gaze from the top of the hill and looked at Sheila, a female soldier beside her.

"Sergeant, what will happen to them?"

Sheila looked at him with panic in her eyes.

"The battle is short, and if all goes well, the deviants who sneaked up on them should be killed."

Rorschach voiced the good idea.

"What if it doesn't go well?"

Sheila bit her lip and stared at Rorschach, as if that wasn't what she wanted to hear.

Rorschach sighed, looked at Sheila's eyes trembling slightly because of nervousness, and said in a deep voice:

"You understand ......"

"I don't believe it!" Sheila shook her head and exclaimed, "I'm going to contact the sergeant!" ”

With that, she ran towards the military truck in the camp.

Private Mitch, who was standing lame on the side, shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Sheila's back, and he turned to Rorschach and said:

"Sheriff, don't mind, she has a good relationship with the sergeant, that's why she's like this."

"I see."

Rorschach nodded, and walked back to camp with Mickey in his arms.

Sheila ran to the military truck, grabbed the walkie-talkie and started calling the sergeant non-stop, but no matter how she shouted, there was only a "rustle" sound on the radio, and there was no response at all.

This situation made Sheila's heart more and more uneasy, and she once again wanted to go up the mountain to find the sergeant, but the situation just made her realize that it was extremely dangerous to go up the mountain alone.

Thinking of this, Sheila decided to call her companions, she was sure that there would be no problems with the three of them, and in any case she wanted to know how the sergeant was doing with them in the mountains.

……

At this time, Rorschach was talking to Bob outside the tent.

Bob had a sad face, he was very worried about the current situation, it was obvious that they had just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth, and for the sake of the safety of his family, he had to ask Rorschach whether to take them out of the valley first.

"No, the pickup can't drive far."

Rorschach shook his head, of course he wanted to take Bob's family away, but the conditions did not allow it, and he couldn't walk out of this desert Gobi on two legs.

"What if we could borrow their car?"

Bob turned his head to look at the military trucks parked in the camp.

"Then at least wait until the sergeant returns."

Rorschach replied.

"But sergeant, will they really be able to come back?"

Bob said with a frown.

Just now, Rorschach told Bob about the situation, and Bob also learned about the aberrant man's elusive abilities, which made him very unconfident that the sergeant could return safely.

"Don't worry," Rorschach smiled and patted Bob on the shoulder, "we'll wait, and if the sergeant can't come back before dark, I'll get you out of here." ”

"Okay, okay," Bob nodded, reluctantly, "and that's all up to you." ”

"I know."

Rorschach nodded, and watched Bob walk into the tent.

He turned to look in the direction of Stone Mountain, at this time he deeply felt what it means to be alone, there are no strong buildings around the camp that can be defended, if he goes up the mountain alone to find the sergeant and them, the camp will lack enough combat strength, and at that time, if the aberrants sneak up on the camp, Bob and the recruits here alone will not be able to resist the aberrants.

Thinking of this, Rorschach shook his head helplessly, and now he could only hope that the sergeant would not be too arrogant and the whole army would be wiped out on the stone mountain.

At this time, Rorschach saw the female soldier Sheila walking out of the camp with the two GIs who had stayed in the camp, preparing to walk in the direction of Stone Mountain, apparently they were going up the mountain to find the sergeant.

"Wait."

Rorschach hurriedly stepped forward to stop Sheila.

"Sheriff, we're going to find the sergeant."

Sheila looked at him with a somewhat agitated expression.

"I understand, but it's too dangerous for you to go up the mountain like this."

In Rorschach's view, the three men going up the mountain were simply killing themselves.

"I know, but we can't help but go, sergeant, their situation is more dangerous than ours."

Sheila insisted.

"I understand your feelings, but I hope you are waiting, and you have to trust the sergeants."

Rorschach had no choice but to continue to persuade.

"No," said Sheila, shaking her head, "I can't wait any longer, and if we don't look for the sergeant now, we won't be able to go up the mountain after dark, and it may be too late by then." ”

"I understand," Rorschach nodded, helplessly, "but you also know the way those deviants act, and no one can guarantee that there will be no holes around them. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

Sheila slapped the assault rifle in her hand, looking ready.

Rorschach frowned slightly, after all, he was not the commander of these soldiers, and he had no right to command them, but if he let them go up the mountain like this, it was very likely that he would lose three lives in vain.

At this time, the soldiers on the side suddenly pointed to the stone mountain.

"Look at the top of the mountain."

Rorschach and Sheila looked in the direction the GI was pointing at the same time.

"It's the sergeant, them!"

Sheila shouted excitedly.

I saw a group of soldiers in yellow combat uniforms slowly walking down the stone mountain.

Rorschach finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the GIs descend the mountain, and the sergeant came back to say that everything was fine, and the next thing was to find a way to escort Bob and them out of here first.

The GIs on the hill finally walked down the rocky mountain, led by Sergeant Napoli, but of the 7 GIs who had set off together, there were now only 4 left.

As they approached, Rorschach saw two GIs carrying their companions, but even so, one was missing.

"Sergeant!"

Sheila and the two GIs who stayed behind hurriedly greeted her.

Sergeant Napoli nodded, but his face was gloomy, because of the seven soldiers who had gone up the mountain with him to search for people, only 4 returned, 2 were killed, and 1 was captured.

They did find the scientist who sent the distress signal at the top of the mountain, but when they found him, the researcher had been killed, and the walkie-talkie was inserted above his head, and the death was horrific.

Sergeant Napoli realized that something was wrong, and now he finally believed what Rorschach said that there were cruel and evil deviants in this place.

And the situation in front of him made him realize that this was a trap. He immediately alerted the team and began to organize a retreat, and just as they were about to descend the mountain, an aberrant tried to sneak up on them, but was killed by the soldiers as soon as they emerged.

The easy victory made the soldiers let their guard down, and no one thought that the real sneak attack had just begun.

As they passed a rock wall, a soldier was attacked and killed, and the attacker turned out to be a half-stone, half-human monster, and all the attacks of the soldiers were blocked by this monster with a stone body.

At this moment, another fast aberrant emerged from the hole in the ground and attacked another soldier.

The tragic death of the two soldiers made the other soldiers panic. To make matters worse, one of the black female soldiers in the team was snatched by the fast deformers, who then burrowed into the ground with the half-stone men.

Seeing this, Sergeant Napoli resolutely prevented the soldiers from pursuing them into the cave, and after a short rest, he decided to return to the camp from the rocky hill with the bodies of the two soldiers who had died.

The soldiers who stayed behind in the camp listened to what Sergeant Napoli said, and their eyes were shocked and they looked at each other.

"Merry was captured by them?!"

Sheila stared at Sergeant Napoli. Merry was the black female soldier, a veteran of the squad and the only female soldier other than Sheila. After Sheila joined the team, Merry had been taking good care of her, and when she heard the bad news, Sheila couldn't accept it for a while.

"Yes," Sergeant Napoli nodded, gritting his teeth, "don't worry, we'll go and get her out!" ”

"When are we going to act?"

Sheila asked eagerly.

"Wait."

Sergeant Napoli waved his hand.

"Why?"

Sheila thought of the man who died in the bathroom, if Merry was tortured like this......

For a moment, she didn't even dare to think about it.

"Obey orders!"

Sergeant Napoli glared at Sheila.

"Yes, Sergeant!"

When Sheila heard the sergeant's reprimand, she quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to ask more.

Sergeant Napoli sighed at Sheila's appearance, and then he turned to look at Rorschach.

"Sheriff, looks like we're going to have to replan."
