Chapter 47: The Lurker
But Dai Bingcheng didn't stop and didn't say anything. At the end of the path is a street lamp with dim lighting. If ever it were to be done right now – in this unobtrusive environment. Small, sharp scales had grown on his torso under his uniform, propping up his clothes slightly.
But after the worst, Dai Bingcheng walked under the street lamp and turned a corner. Ying resolutely followed.
Then see a car.
It was an internal bus, modified, diesel-powered. The empty car is parked in the night, like a scene from a horror movie. The door was open, and there appeared to be a figure sitting in the driver's seat. Dai Bingcheng strode into the car, but Ying resolutely gritted his teeth and stopped outside the car door: "Dean, what is the matter?" ”
The man in the driver's seat turned his head and grinned, "Interesting." ”
Ying Ran frowned. He knew the driver—one of the more unusual ones. Now that the electronics are out of order, many official vehicles are almost scrapped, and only this modified diesel car can still run normally. It is not uncommon for some officials to have problems with their cars, but this guy ......
What does this emoji mean?
Dai Bingcheng had already sat in a seat behind the driver, looked at Ying Jieran, and said in a low voice: "What, afraid of me?" ”
Ying resolutely stretched out his hands: "If it's a mission, I don't have any equipment." ”
"You don't need to bring any gear." Dai Bingcheng said solemnly, "Come up." ”
The last sound was more like an unquestionable command. Ying resolutely took a deep breath and got into the car. Sitting in a seat across the aisle from Dai Bingcheng.
The door closed, and the driver coughed lightly: "Gone." ”
The body shook and jumped out.
You should look ahead with a blank face. And Dai Bingcheng was silent in the dark for a while, and suddenly said: "I heard that you have been inquiring about some things recently. ”

Twenty kilometers away from the northern base, the 311 space base.
Tucked away in the middle of the jungle, the base carves out a separate space in the endless sea of trees, surrounded by people all year round, with only one road guarded by the army to get in and out.
But this base, which had been operating at a minimum, suddenly became busy during this time. A large number of personnel and materials were stationed, and a considerable number of open and secret posts were arranged on the periphery. Well-trained soldiers are scattered like seeds in the jungle. And a considerable number of old but effective traps have been laid in the woods - in the present day when electronic devices are failing. Only with crowd tactics and in this way can outsiders be prevented from intruding as much as possible and this vital base can be secured.
But even Baimi is still a little negligent.
Somewhere in the jungle outside the guard post, a figure dragged a body silently and snuggled it gently into a bush. Then the lurker let out a soft sigh. Glancing into the bushes again. Bow up and move on.
The ground is covered with thick fallen leaves. Such a hot season. The humus deep in the leaf litter ferments at high temperatures, producing a constant stream of warm gases. The gas fills the layers of leaves, making them soft and thick, with only the slightest sound of footsteps. It's like stepping on a thick carpet.
The lurker cautiously walked and stopped, avoiding two groups of sentinels without danger, penetrating nearly a kilometer into the defense zone under the cover of dense trees, and then hiding among a bush of vegetation again, only a pair of eyes peeking out from the gap in the branches and leaves, silently watching two soldiers with guns walking less than a meter in front of them.
The two men were equipped with two dimly lit lamps, bright enough to see a meter or two in front of them, but not to attract the attention of enemies who might appear in the distance. At the moment, they silently swept away the forest leaves in front of them with their guns, and their eyes shone with vigilance.
The Lurkers held their breath and waited for them to walk over.
However, on the giant tree overhead, there were suddenly two low birdsong chirping.
The alarm suddenly came, and the lurker's heart jumped. Birdsong – Where does birdsong come from at such times?
Almost reflexively, he rolled diagonally to the side—and a figure fluttered into the air. It was a soldier in camouflage, his face painted in colorful camouflage, and a dark field knife in his hand. He seemed confident in his outstretched hand, discarding his gun and knife, and flew down from the tree, determined to catch a man alive.
The sound here was like a thunderclap in the silence of the jungle. The two gunmen immediately turned around, and then saw the lurker who was stomping on the trunk of a tree and leaping into the air.
The finger immediately pulled the trigger and fired at the man without hesitation.
But the next moment, the two of them were slightly stunned - their fingers seemed to be clasped on the iron. The trigger of the gun did not move at all, as if it were a single piece of the gun and poured out of molten iron. In just a split second, they immediately discarded the assault rifle in their hands and pulled out the pistol at their waists.
However, the chest collapsed abruptly—the camouflage uniform seemed to become an iron plate, and the few buttons in the middle were deeply embedded in the body. The airflow sprayed into the trachea from the body cavity, and the two people let out an involuntary muffled grunt and fell softly.
It all happened between the lights and the fire. At this time, the lurker had just stepped on one of the legs of the tree trunk, and the whole person jumped with the two fallen bodies to another giant tree not far away.
So a field knife was cut empty.
It was indeed just a field sword—like the legendary sword of the Sword Immortal, tumbling in the air, tearing through the air, humming and whispering, and then turning into an afterimage and shooting towards the lurker who had just landed.
But the lurker suddenly stood still in the face of the field knives that flew at him.
Then the knife let out a whistling and stopped abruptly in his chest, unable to take a single step forward.
The soldier realized that the opponent's strength was far greater than he had imagined, and decisively abandoned the sword. Then, inhale, open your mouth, and tighten your throat, you need to shout a warning.
However, that cry never came out. His own knife flew upside down at an even faster speed as if it had been manipulated by an invisible hand, slashing off his neck in an instant.
Warm blood rose to the sky, and the headless body fell into the bushes with a slight sound.
In fact, it was only four seconds.
The lurker bent down and stood still, listening in silence for five seconds. The jungle was silent again, and even the insects around it had stopped. So he hid the three corpses again, and grabbed a large handful of loose earth from under the branches and leaves to cover the neck of the headless body to hide the smell of blood.
Then move on. There was no danger all the way, and it was three kilometers deep into the defense area.
Sentinels are densely populated, and things on the ground ...... It's also more.
The Lurker stops in front of a clump of fallen leaves, observes for a second, and moves to the side. The clump of fallen leaves sits between two rocks – a small natural canyon.
But the "canyon" is not wide, only one person can pass, and the deciduous bushes are in the middle. He thought about it, found a dead branch from the ground, and poked it in.
There was a click, and a trap popped up from under the fallen leaves, biting the branch to pieces.
The Lurker drops the branch, kicks the trap into the nearby bushes, and strides over. But after four steps, between two rocks, he stopped again.
Because there was a very slight vibration from the right foot. He realized that if he lifted this foot at this moment, a ball of fire would erupt along with shards of metal, smashing the bones of his calf. So he stepped back with his left foot.
I even felt the same vibration - double thunder.
He frowned slightly and took a deep breath. After two seconds, try to gently lift your left foot.
The mine did not explode. Then he gently lifted his right foot again, again without exploding.
He walked two steps away, found two rocks with flat bottoms, placed them where he had just stood, pressed them hard, and walked away.
Six kilometers deep into the defense zone, dim lights can be faintly seen in the distance. It was the end of a road with low bungalows on either side. Barricades were erected at the intersections, and heavy machine guns were loaded on sandbags. The tall barbed wire fence stretched out in all directions, and it remained in the darkness. The perimeter of the barbed wire fence is hundreds of meters of flat land, and the vegetation has been cleared and can be seen in full view.
He stopped behind the bushes and frowned.
The information is wrong. Didn't mention that there would be such an open space around the base!
He thought for more than ten seconds and realized that time was quite short. Nearly an hour has passed since the beginning, and the missing sentry could be found at any time.
After thinking about it again, he gritted his teeth and quietly stepped back and walked around to the side of the road. Then take a deep breath and walk to the road, unhurried to the checkpoint at the end of the road.
After walking more than ten meters, the sentry spotted his figure and immediately shouted, "Stop! Password! ”
The lurker stopped where he was and shook the document he had already held in his hand: "It's me." ”
The sentry on the opposite side was slightly stunned, and then the two people ran over, looked at him suspiciously, then checked their documents, and asked hesitantly, "...... How did you get here? What's up? ”
Bet right. The sentinels of the jungle were all soldiers of the special security forces, and they knew him here, too.
The lurker sighed slightly, and pointed behind the checkpoint, "There seems to be something going on inside, and I want to come over." It was said that there was a soldier making trouble. ”
"There's a soldier making trouble" – it's not uncommon. The army is very familiar with the front-line war, and it just so happens that the front-line war situation is not optimistic. Coupled with the fact that the arrival of the aurora makes people fearful, even among these elite soldiers will feel desperate and helpless. At least in the northern bases, there was one shooting this month.
Got it right again.
The two soldiers glanced at each other, frowned, and muttered, "What about Xiao Liu?" Isn't it just a hit on someone, alas...... Don't you say it's okay? ”
Then he looked up and smiled reluctantly at the lurker, "You're here for this—why are you alone?" ”
"Who else but me?" The lurker took back his documents, "The car is not there, I walked dozens of miles by myself." ”
The sentry was slightly stunned: "Dozens of miles? This can be, this can be...... It's so hard for you. ”
The slightest apology, surprise, and sympathy effectively distracted them, and the questions they had intended to ask were thrown aside. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
