Chapter Eighty-Six: Let's Get Started
Cheng Bin could judge the approximate distance by the sound of gunfire, so he didn't expect to run to a high place to see the decisive battle between the two sides of the firefight, if he was unlucky, there might be a mountain from him to the battlefield - of course, it could also be a canyon, then it was nothing for him.
It was precisely because of the unpredictable future that Cheng Bin did not drive up, mainly because he was worried about the popularity, in case the opposite side of the slope was an open land of Pingchuan, and when the time came, everyone would stare at each other for a three-way meeting, and this pot would be too wronged to carry by himself.
In general, the terrain of the wasteland is relatively flat, but it does not mean that there are no ups and downs, the existence of the Grand Canyon shows that there are mountains in the wasteland, and the altitude is not small, but the rise and fall of the ground is not violent.
When Cheng Bin ran to the top of the slope, he was ready to see nothing, so he asked Rebecca to be ready to drive over, and what he was doing now was equivalent to going out to investigate.
But what Cheng Bin didn't expect was that although the slope was not a plain, it was certainly not the slope canyon he imagined, but a lush forest growing in the basin.
The reason why the wasteland can be called a wasteland is, of course, because it is desolate enough, otherwise it would be called a tropical rainforest.
The vegetation here is mainly composed of mosses and lichens, and even if there are some tall ones, they are all herbaceous shrubs, and there are few tall trees, and even if there are, they cannot grow luxuriantly, after all, the radiation in the wasteland is everywhere, and the radiation clouds in the sky block the sun from falling, which is not suitable for trees to grow.
But perhaps because the terrain here is particularly low-lying, and the highlands on both sides block the invasion of surface radiation, the trees in the basin under Cheng Bin's feet at this time are growing very luxuriantly, at least Cheng Bin looks down from a high place, and his eyes can't penetrate the canopy and see what is happening in the woods.
Even if Cheng Bin is well-informed, he can only be dumbfounded when he encounters this kind of accident. He lay on the top of the slope and was stunned for a long time, then he put down his rifle, took out the binoculars he had brought with him, and looked out at the woods at his feet.
Generally speaking, rookies prefer to use gun scopes with larger multiples and higher definition, but Cheng Bin is a veteran who has experienced complex modern warfare and has a good sense of battlefield.
As for the shortcomings of binoculars' insufficient magnification, they can be completely replaced by Cheng Bin's keen battlefield awareness.
Cheng Bin was lying on the ground, holding the binoculars and looking down, he suddenly felt someone approaching, he turned his head suddenly, just in time to see Rebecca carrying her SSG with M3A bent over and ran up, although she had never learned to approach in a low posture, but after seeing Cheng Bin do it, her movements turned out to be very similar to that.
Watching Rebecca fall beside him with a gun, and then shooting sideways forward, Cheng Bin was angry and funny, and at the same time had to admit that Rebecca was a very good student, and she just casually said the essentials of the action she did it for the first time, and it looked quite standard.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Bin didn't blame Rebecca for not listening to the command, after all, discipline needs to be cultivated, and the current situation is not so tense that it is not allowed to make mistakes.
Rebecca found that Cheng Bin didn't mean to be angry, so she immediately became bold and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Castro said she could drive, so I'll come over and take a look." ”
Cheng Bin snorted, thinking that although Vera was walking in a cold wind, she even had a child, even if she was not an old driver, she would definitely drive, did she need to ask?
Of course, there was no need to spit on the little girl in this slot, so Cheng Bin just glanced at Rebecca, and then raised the telescope to look down.
Although he couldn't see the situation in the woods clearly, the faintly visible gunfire still quickly allowed Cheng Bin to judge the scale of the exchange of fire between the two sides.
It doesn't look like the number of people on both sides of the crossfire will add up to 50, and it's conservatively estimated that it won't exceed 30, so it's still a small-scale armed conflict, and it can only be considered a big cop movie when made into a movie.
The two warring sides were similar in numbers, but there was a big difference in equipment, and the side with a larger number of people and an offensive posture mostly used standard guns and was more proficient in the use of weapons, and grenades and grenades could be used frequently even in the woods. The other side's level of use of weapons is much worse, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, making it difficult to compete with the opposing side, and even if they barely form a defensive line, they are quickly destroyed by the opponent's use of explosives.
Soon the development of the battle situation in the woods confirmed Cheng Bin's judgment, and the inferior side was gradually driven to the edge of the woods, and then squeezed out of the woods by the opposite direction.
This forest grows in the basin, occupies almost the entire basin, and after leaving the forest, you can only climb along the slope of the edge of the basin to a high place, not only can not increase your speed, but also there is no vegetation to hide during the climb, almost the whole time is exposed to the opponent's gun, and the intention of the attacker to gradually squeeze the opponent is obvious.
From the perspective occupied by Cheng Bin, the intention of the attacker was quite obvious, but the inferior side in the fierce battle obviously did not have such good conditions, and soon some people could not stand the threat of enemy fire, turned around and fled out of the woods, and then fell down one after another in the process of climbing.
Rebecca followed Cheng Bin's example and lay beside him, looking down through M3A. She didn't have Cheng Bin's ability to judge the scope and intensity of the battlefield based on the firelight at the time of shooting, and she couldn't find anyone with ten times the mirror, and finally someone ran out of the woods, of course she couldn't let it go. At this time, he said suspiciously: "Who are these people?" ”
In fact, Cheng Bin was also thinking about this problem, just now when the two sides exchanged fire in the woods, he couldn't see clearly, and after someone escaped from the woods, Cheng Bin could see that the few people who were shot were all wearing civilian clothes, and they looked similar to the caravans doing transportation business in the wasteland.
This discovery, combined with what Bernard had told him in the morning, led to the easy conclusion that the bandits of the Duke of Destruction were attacking the caravan.
After discovering this fact, Cheng Bin felt very helpless, if he could, he actually didn't want to get involved in hunting the duke at all, after all, the legendary duke was not extremely vicious, he was friendly to the prey that gave up resistance, only plundered property, was not keen on killing, and did not harass women much, it was originally the kind of robber template with some bottom line in literary works, or the kind that could be washed away at any time.
But now it seems that the legend should have a big error, at least in the matter of not being thirsty for killing, and the thieves seem to be planning to wipe each other out, rather than driving them away.
After listening to Cheng Bin's analysis, Rebecca actually became excited, she fiddled with the sniper rifle in her hand and said, "Are we going to get involved?" ”
"Which side are you going to help?" Cheng Bin asked casually.
Rebecca was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "Can we help the bad guys?" ”
Cheng Bin put down the binoculars and glanced at her, thinking, "Uncle, I'm not a good person."
He reached for the M16A4 that he was placing beside him, flicked open the end cap of the scope, and pressed his right cheek to the eye guard.
"Remember what I taught you about shooting?" "Let's get started," he said. ”
