Chapter 90: Meeting the Villagers at Night
The car of Zhang Weimin's group, which was in a good mood all the way, gradually approached the forest park, and the outline of Xiaoshan in the distance has gradually appeared in front of the team members, at this time it was 12 o'clock in the evening, several team members in the car were hurrying to make up for sleep, and the driver had been replaced by Sun Yijun, Zhang Weimin leaned on the passenger seat, opened the window and smoked, he was already very tired at this time, and he did not get a good rest for several days, and he began to doze off as soon as he changed to the co-pilot, in order not to let himself fall asleep, He can only rely on cigarettes to stimulate his nerves.
Yin Chenbao, who was sitting at the door of the car, always had inexhaustible strength, he was still habitually holding a telescope to observe the outside of the car window at this time, Wang Jingjian in the back was holding his sniper rifle leaning against the window and closing his eyes, Guo Lin on the side was leaning on the big strong shoulders, the two of them even snorted, Chen Wanru, who was sitting behind the two, was looking down at his hand, his brows were tightly locked, and Zhang Xiaolei, who was sitting in the last row position, put one hand on the box of X reagent placed on the seat next to him, and held a wine jug in one hand, His eyes glazed back the window.
Zhang Weimin, who smoked the last puff of cigarette, popped the cigarette butt out of the window, turned his head and said to Sun Yijun, who was driving: "Sun Dashen, let's not enter through the south gate, go directly to the back mountain!" ”
"Back Mountain? Team Zhang, the back mountain is an undeveloped place, why should we go in from there? Sun Yijun asked puzzled.
Zhang Weimin touched his chin and said: "Although the forest park is safe for us compared to the urban area, but we can't take it lightly, the park in the south is too ostentatious at the moment, the surrounding is so dark, suddenly there are car lights passing by, it is easy to be found, and the south side is very close to the separation wall, just a few kilometers away, in this dark night, the guards don't need to see the car lights through the binoculars, so it is too easy to leak!"
"But Team Zhang, we haven't been to the back mountain, the car shouldn't be able to drive, if we hike, isn't it a little too dangerous in this dark night, in case there are zombies or beasts in ambush in the bushes, this ......" Sun Yijun was still a little worried.
"Da Zhuang and I went to the back mountain before, there was a mission to find missing persons before, we have been there, I still know the general situation, but we don't go up the mountain tonight, when we get to the back mountain, we hide the car at the foot of the mountain, and then set up camp, and when it dawns we are climbing the mountain, just so that everyone can sleep well and replenish some energy." Zhang Weimin sat up straight and said.
Hearing Zhang Weimin say this, Sun Yijun nodded reassuringly and continued to concentrate on driving the car.
The back mountain in the north of Xiaoshan is not as spectacular as the front mountain construction in the south, there is no magnificent door, the huge parking lot and the characteristic ticket office, there is only one dirt road into the back mountain, it is surrounded by a field and some mountain wild people's bungalows in the village, although the car can be driven all the way to the foot of the mountain, but the muddy road still has high requirements for driving skills, and the road to the back mountain is not as wide as going to the front mountain forest park.
After a bumpy road, under the guidance of Zhang Weimin, the car was driven by Sun Yijun to the side of the dirt road at the entrance of the village, Zhang Weimin immediately asked to stop, and then switched places with Sun Yijun, ready to drive the car into the village himself.
The shaking all the way has woken up the team members on the car, at this time the car stopped, everyone thought it had arrived, Da Zhuang rubbed his eyes in a daze and stood up and was about to get out of the car, Yin Chenbao, who had been in spirit, hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Hey, hey, big man, it's not here yet." ”
"I thought it was here" Da Zhuang had to reluctantly return to his seat, and then shouted to Zhang Weimin who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Brother Zhang, where is this, I want to go down to make it easier, by the way, I have been sitting in this car for a long time, and I feel that my spine is going to break!" ”
Zhang Weimin looked back at the team members who were gradually sobering up, and then looked around the car window and said: "When you arrive at the door of the village at the foot of the back mountain, then everyone get off the car and move, relax and relax, hurry up and go conveniently, don't run far, leave one person in the car to watch the X reagent!" After speaking, Zhang Weimin walked down from his seat with a gun and a cigarette first.
Chen Wanru looked at everyone and said, "Go ahead, I'll stay in the car." ”
Hearing Chen Wanru say this, the boys in the car got up together and walked out of the car quickly, Zhang Weimin stood at the front of the car, holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and looked at the team members who walked off the car one after another with a cigarette in his mouth, urging everyone to hurry up.
Da Zhuang was the first to rush down, quickly ran to the back of the car and opened the zipper, which was convenient and convenient, and then Zhang Xiaolei and Guo Lin also joined his team, Sun Yijun turned on the mobile phone he had renovated after getting out of the car, looking for a signal in the mountainous area, Wang Jingjian still carried his baby sniper rifle and Yin Chenbao lit a cigarette together and came to Zhang Weimin's side.
Yin Chenbao looked at the watch in his hand and said: "Team Zhang, it's 12:35 now, can we climb the mountain directly after we go in for a while, as far as I know, it will take about 3 hours to climb up." ”
"No, after going in for a while, let's find a place to rest first, and mountaineering is not our purpose, our purpose is to find Professor Chen, this black light is blinding, and it is also very dangerous for us to enter the mountain, so I plan to wait until dawn before acting." Zhang Weiming looked at Yin Chenbao and said.
"Team Zhang is still thoughtful." Yin Chenbao agreed with Zhang Weimin, and at the same time took out his binoculars and looked at the scattered bungalows in the distant village and said, "Team Zhang, do you say that there are still people living in these houses?" ”
At this time, Wang Jingjian pointed to the overgrown farmland not far away and interjected: "Look at this field, it is so barren, there should be no one left!" ”
Yin Chenbao nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, all the houses in the distant village are dark and unlit, and this kind of rural earthen house and the surrounding weedy fields reflect each other in an eerie atmosphere, which reminds people of some episodes in a certain ghost movie.
The three people who ended conveniently in the back of the car, lit cigarettes, laughed and came to Zhang Weimin who was standing on the side of the car door, everyone looked at the village in the distance, thinking that after more than a month of life and death experience, everyone finally came to a place so close to Professor Chen, for this moment how many teammates, friends and the masses died, the people who can still stand here at this time can not be said to be a kind of luck, but a kind of continuation, if there is no sacrifice of those people, they do not have this opportunity.
The atmosphere that was originally relatively lively was suddenly quieted down by the desolate atmosphere around it, only the slight 'crackling' sound of cigarette butts burning the tobacco, this sudden silence made everyone a little unaccustomed.
Zhang Weimin broke the silence and said: "It's all settled, get in the car, let's enter the village." ”
After speaking, everyone got into the car one after another, returned to their respective positions, Zhang Weimin started the car and drove into the village, sure enough, as expected, this dirt road was unusually bumpy, and the ruts left by various vehicles when it was muddy on a rainy day were dried on a sunny day, making the road potholes, Zhang Weimin had to slow down the speed, even so, the team members on the car were still shaken left and right by the bumps, and the X reagent was also shaken in the box. Jingle's sound, Zhang Xiaolei was worried that it would be shaken, and hurriedly hugged the box tightly in his arms.
Yin Chenbao, who was holding a telescope, suddenly pointed to a bungalow in the distance and said, "There seems to be a figure there." ”
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of his finger, but they didn't see anything, Da Zhuang said teasingly: "Are you tired and dazzled, the first handsome of the team, where is there any figure?" ”
"Really, I just saw a few dark shadows, and they flashed by." Yin Chenbao still said firmly.
"Chenbao, don't joke casually in this environment, the atmosphere here is already gloomy enough." Guo Lin, who was sitting on the edge of Da Zhuang, also reminded Yin Chenbao to say.
"He didn't lie, this village is indeed a little weird, I also saw it, it seems that there are real people." Wang Jingjian, who was sitting behind Yin Chenbao, added.
"Look, if you don't believe what I say, you have to believe the words of this first sniper god, his eyes won't deceive, after all, he is the first person in the national military sniper competition!" Yin Chenbao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, trying his best to prove his discovery.
As soon as Wang Jingjian said this, everyone immediately became serious, staring carefully out of the window against the window, searching around the car, for fear of falling something.
Zhang Weimin also slowed down the speed of the car even slower than just now, and suddenly he braked suddenly, and the team members in the car rushed forward, nervously looking at the front of the light.
Everyone saw a few plainly dressed people standing in the distance of the car, some old and some young, Zhang Weimin fixed his eyes and saw clearly that it was a few people who looked like villagers, then he opened the car window, poked his head out and shouted to the group of people: "Who are you, please let me go." ”
An older white-haired old man who took the lead took a step forward on crutches, dressed in an old-fashioned coarse cloth coat and trousers, with a pair of shoes under his feet, dressed as a peasant, and said tremblingly: "Who are you, what are you doing in our village so late?" ”
After the old man finished speaking, several young men behind him who were also dressed in simple clothes also took a few steps forward.
Zhang Weimin heard the old man's words, and was sure that it was a villager, so he immediately opened the car door and walked down, and came to the old man, he looked at the old man, and then looked at a few young men behind him and said: "Uncle, we are members of the search and rescue team, why didn't you go to the safe area, what are you still doing here?" ”
"Search and rescue team?!" The old man's tone was a little serious, and then he urged very unhappily: "You guys leave quickly, our village doesn't need any search and rescue team to rescue, we don't welcome you." ”
"Uncle, do you have any misunderstanding about the search and rescue team, we have no malicious intentions, we just happened to be passing by here on patrol duty at night, and I wanted to come in and take a look when I saw a village here, you don't have to worry." Zhang Weimin has not yet figured out the details and position of the other party, so he can only insist on using the identity of the search and rescue team to prevaricate these people.
"Don't come to this set, you are already the fourth wave of people who come here and claim to be the search and rescue team, you are the most fake group, driving a minibus and pretending to be a search and rescue team, we haven't seen the search and rescue team, they are all jeeps!" A young man with a shaved round inch behind the old man said angrily.
Zhang Weimin didn't expect these villagers to be so shrewd, and he felt that he couldn't make up his lies, so he directly showdown and said: "We are indeed members of the search and rescue team, but the vehicle was destroyed in the battle, and we temporarily found this car to carry out the task, I really don't hide it from you, we are not here to rescue you, we are here to find people, have you ever met Chen Yuli, Professor Chen?" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard Professor Chen's name, and then said calmly: "I don't care who you are or what kind of tasks you perform, we don't have the Professor Chen you are looking for here, you better go back!" ”
"Are you sure you haven't seen it?" Zhang Weimin deduced from the old man's expression that the old man was lying.
"Our fourth grandfather has already said that there is no one you are looking for, don't waste time here, hurry up, if you continue to mess around here, don't blame us for being polite!" The round-headed young man behind the old man clenched his fists and said.
Zhang Weimin looked at these villagers and thought about it, and couldn't explain too much to these people for a while, after all, they didn't understand each other, from the old man's reaction when he heard Chen Yuli's name, he judged that the group of people in front of him should know, but they didn't want to say, and now there is no need for him to continue asking, the hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, he can also understand the reason why these people insist so much, think about it or return to the car first, find a place to discuss with the team members before making plans, he had to say thank you to these people in front of him, I returned to the car.
As soon as they got on the bus, the team members immediately asked Zhang Weimin what was going on, but Zhang Weimin did not answer everyone's questions, until he turned around and drove back to the outside of the village, and then found a place where he could not see the village, parked the car steadily, and then slowly said: "This group of people must know Professor Chen, when I asked them again just now, the expression of the old man who called them the fourth grandfather betrayed them." ”
"Brother Zhang, then why don't you continue to ask, just a few of them, we can't handle it?" Da Zhuang said anxiously.
"You are stupid, Da Zhuang, you are not very familiar with them now, Team Zhang only needs to convey his purpose, after all, we know that there will be no one else when we come here to find Professor Chen, but just in case, it is normal for the villagers to be wary!" Zhang Xiaolei added.
"Well, yes, that's what I mean, it's better for someone to appear now than for us to blindly enter the mountain, first release the tone and purpose, which saves us a lot of time, isn't it a double win." Zhang Weimin nodded and said.
"And how are you going to get close to them again?" Chen Wanru asked coldly.
