Chapter 1: Life and Death
"Bang"
The tranquility of Shuyang Mountain was shattered by a gunshot.
"Stop, don't run!"
A sweaty man in black carried a baby on his back, panting and speeding through the forest, and the swift passing figure was like an off-string arrow cutting a cyclone in the air.
The golden leaves in the air swirled in the sky and fell slowly due to the sudden impact.
Behind him, more than a dozen well-trained special forces were in hot pursuit.
The prisoner gasped vigorously, the swing of the bruised arms on his side had already become a mechanical movement of the body, the muscles of the legs were already bulging, and the smell of blood in the throat filled the entire mouth.
He has been running at this speed for half an hour, his physical strength has decreased significantly, and his speed has also tended to slow down.
The sound of the wind came to his ears, and the vast woods were only the sound of hurried footsteps running one after the other, and his own heavy wheezing, and the world was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat.
"Puff, puff."
In order to take revenge on the Ouyang family, he gave him a huge amount of money and let him kidnap Ouyang Qing on the road, and the generous reward gave him no reason to refuse.
He is an internationally renowned high-IQ "hunter" who has completed his sentence, and kills people calmly, which makes people fearful.
He has always been known for his wisdom, but he did not expect that now, because the hired person concealed his identity information, he would race against death in this mountain forest.
The brain, which was running hard, was a little sluggish, and he didn't realize that he had entered the firing area of the sniper who had been ambushed in advance.
"Hole 1, hole 1, I'm an eagle. I've spotted a sniper target. However, the hostage is on the target's back and requests to hit the target's side. Complete. ”
"Shooting is allowed, shooting is allowed. Complete. ”
"Bang", the bullet came against the wind, pierced into the right arm of the prisoner with precision, and splashed a bewitching blood flower in the air.
"Ah~" The prisoner screamed in pain, but he didn't dare to stop, the intense pain made the prisoner frown, his eyes were also a little bloodshot, and he continued to run forward covering the wound, but the speed slowed down significantly.
Blood rolled down his right arm, soaking through the clothes on his right side, and finally dripping onto the brown leaves on the ground, splashing bright blood flowers.
"Sand, rustle, sand".
The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, disturbing the mind of the prisoner, but the desire to survive was even stronger.
I want to live!
Seeing the thin mist in front of him, he gave birth to a glimmer of hope, gritted his teeth, covered the bleeding wound, and accelerated towards the mist-filled place.
"Oh no, there's a cliff ahead!" The special forces led by him were nervous and ordered to speed up the pursuit.
"Keep up!"
Panting for breath, he stopped on the edge of the cliff and sat down on the spot, his chest heaving violently.
With difficulty, I untied the carrier with the baby on my back with my left hand, put the baby on the ground, and looked at the baby who had been crying, and my feelings were a little complicated.
Don't blame me, little ghost. At the beginning, my dad used me like this, and he didn't ask me if I wanted to.
Now I have to sacrifice you for my life.
The whole body was trembling, and he supported his trembling body with his left hand, poking his head out of the edge of the cliff to observe the bottomless valley.
This cliff is almost perpendicular to the valley floor, with smooth cuts and no footholds.
Looking at the mist that kept rising from the bottom of the valley, he dispelled the idea of jumping off the cliff and slowly retracted his left hand, observing the surrounding environment.
On the other side of the cliff, there is an extremely steep hillside, but overgrown with shrubs.
There may be a glimmer of life here!
Re-lifted the baby hanging in the air, without a trace of pity.
At this time, more than a dozen special forces had already arrived, and they quickly surrounded the prisoners sitting on the edge of the cliff.
Because the baby was next to the prisoner, there was a risk of being thrown off the cliff at any time, so he didn't shoot directly, but just aimed the muzzle of the gun at the head of the prisoner, slowly approaching the target, waiting for the opportunity to shoot.
"Don't come here, I'll throw her down if you take another step forward."
After completing his sentence, he had regained some strength, and his breathing was not so short.
The prisoner picked up the baby with his trembling left hand and hung it in the air on the cliff.
Looking at the prisoner carrying the baby's trembling hand, "Stop advancing." The special forces at the head made a gesture and looked nervously at the baby hanging in the air.
You must not have anything to do, if something happens to you, the whole capital will be finished!
"Put down the gun, put the gun down! Put your hands on top of your head!" Seeing that the deterrence was effective, he immediately shouted in a hoarse voice. Only if these people put down their guns can they have a chance of survival.
"Put it down." The prefect looked at the trembling hand of the prisoner, and became even more worried, afraid that his trembling hand would accidentally throw the baby down.
The special forces slowly put the gun on the ground and put their hands next to their ears, looking for an opportunity to rescue the baby at any time.
However, the completion of the sentence did not give them a chance to rescue, and when they were sure that all the people had put down their guns and did not threaten their lives, they let go of their left hand and left the baby behind.
When the special forces' attention was on the baby, the prisoner quickly ran to the grass, and by the steep slope, he rolled down and got out of the control of the special forces.
The baby's cry became quieter and quieter, and in an instant, only the sound of the whirring mountain wind was left.
"Don't chase it, it's also a cliff over there. He won't live. ”
The commander stopped the soldiers who wanted to pursue, and stood silently on the edge of the cliff, looking at the cliff with a white mist.
As if thinking of something, he suddenly turned to look at the scientific and technological scouts in the team, holding a hint of luck, "Is there a river down there?" ”
The tech scout turned on the instrument and searched quickly.
After a while, the tech scout got up and saluted a standard military salute, "Report to the captain, the cliff here is 835 meters long, the bottom of the cliff is gravel, and no river has been found." ”
The chief turned to face the white mist, letting the tears slide down the lines of his resolute face.
"Collect the team and report the combat situation to the brigade commander. Contact search and rescue personnel to find the baby's body. ”
"Yes."
After the soldiers had walked a dozen steps, he wiped the tears from his face, turned around, and ran to keep up with the group.
——
And they, all ignore one person.
As the two sides were in pursuit, a black figure followed.
This person followed all the way, and he didn't find it after completing his sentence, probably because he didn't have the ability to investigate, and the pursuers who were special forces didn't find him, which shows that this person's skills are extraordinary.
Just when he was confronted by a group of special forces, the man had quickly hidden his backpack in the grass, took out the special rope he carried with him, tied one end of the rope to a thick tree, and the other end to his waist, and slid down the cliff along the rope, calculating the direction of the baby's whereabouts, waiting for the opportunity.
The thin white mist just gave him an invisibility cloak to hide his figure, and at the moment when the baby landed, he saw his body move, and he steadily caught the baby who had been frozen blue.
Because the baby's cry was too loud, he tied the baby to his back, and in order not to let the people above hear it, he observed the surrounding situation, continued to slide down the rope for a certain height, and hung on a slightly raised stone, waiting for the people and vehicles above to evacuate.
His movements were unobtrusive, and he stood on a slightly raised stone.
Five minutes after the team withdrew, the silence of the cliff was broken once more.
"Wow~Hmm~"
The baby's cry cut through the white mist, adding a touch of life to the empty cliff.
"Wow", a black figure leaps up from the cliff face, expertly untying the rope tied to his body.
On his back was the baby who had been thrown off the cliff.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh"
Wrap the rope skillfully, wrap it around your left arm, walk to the grass in the distance to remove the weeds, take out the black backpack hidden in the grass, unzip it, and put the rope into the backpack.
Carrying the backpack, he found a smooth stone and sat down, and gently placed the backpack on the ground.
Untie the carrier from the front, hold the crying baby in your arms, and softly soothe, your eyes full of tenderness. When the baby fell asleep in his gentle voice, he slowly stood up, put his backpack on his back, and walked down the mountain.
——
The Ouyang family at this time.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, we couldn't save Xiaoqing."
Mu Guangzhi, the commander of the special forces brigade, is also a good brother in the military region with Ouyang Yuge.
Although Ouyang Yuge was mentally prepared to accept the worst result, after really hearing the news, he still couldn't accept it.
didn't say anything, just sat on the sofa and was silent, when the burning cigarette in his hand burned his fingers, it woke Ouyang Yuge from despair.
"To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses." Ouyang Yuge opened his bloodshot eyes and vigorously extinguished the burning cigarette in his hand in the ashtray on the coffee table.
Lighting a cigarette again, he swallowed the smoke without saying a word, and the white smoke swirled in the air, which could cover the tears in Ouyang Yuge's eyes.
"I've already sent someone down to look for it, and I'll be notified tonight."
Mu Guangzhi wanted to comfort, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only silently accompany Ouyang Yuge's side, afraid that he would do something stupid.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the search and rescue personnel had already rushed back.
"We have searched the area under the cliff and have not found any dead bodies. There are a lot of animals in the mountains, probably ......"
The search and rescue captain Hui carefully reported the results of the search, and by the end of his life, everyone could already guess the fate of the baby.
Feeling that it was a bit cruel to say this, he added: "Although the odds of survival are small according to the data, there is still a possibility of survival." ”
Ouyang Yuge finally couldn't help it, and hot tears rolled down from his scarlet eyes.
"Let's go, I want to be alone for a while."
Wiping away tears, he got up a little shakingly, and staggered into the princess's room, which had been carefully arranged for his daughter.
Seeing the photo of my daughter hanging on the wall when she was just born, I felt that all my strength was drained, and I slowly slid on the ground with the crib in my hand, staring blankly at the photo, and sat all night.
My favorite wife lost her life because of her own negligence, and even the children left by my wife can't protect me, what is the meaning of my life? What is the point of the sacrifice she made for me in the first place?
In the living room, Mu Guangzhi sighed weakly, explained to the servant to take care of Ouyang Yuge, and left with the search and rescue team.
——
"The brigade commander, the body of the prisoner was not found at the bottom of the cliff. And because of the resistance of the shrubs, we deduce that it is possible that he is still alive. ”
In the barracks war room, the captain of the special forces reports the search results.
"Intensified the search, his right arm was injured, and he lost too much blood and couldn't run far." Mu Guangzhi gritted his teeth and hammered the table hatefully.
"Don't even spare a baby, what reason do you have to live? Pass the command, find the target, and kill it on the spot. ”
"Yes."
Several people at the conference table stood up and saluted Mu Guangzhi, then left the war room and carried out the search and strike combat mission overnight.
Two days later, the door to the war room was opened again.
"Brigade commander, we found traces of the completion of the sentence on the east side of Shuyang Mountain, but when we arrived, the completion of the sentence disappeared, and the mountain keeper on the mountain also died."
When Mu Guangzhi heard the report, he narrowed his eyes and frowned.
"Report to your superiors and apply to be made an internationally wanted person after completing your sentence."
"Yes."
Only one of them remained, quietly pondering.
He had already received the news: Ouyang Yuge had sent the Zhang family, who had completed their employment sentences, to prison and sentenced the head of the Zhang family to death for intentional homicide.
Mu Guangzhi sighed, brother, I'm sorry for you.
Forget it, as long as you can feel a little better in your heart, it's not bad to let you do it yourself.
Thinking of those people in the Zhang family, they are really extremely evil.
It's just that in this case, Ouyang Yuge can still take the legal route, which is quite surprising, and at the same time, he is also a little distressed.
