Chapter 20: Survival Game (7)

The three mercenaries carried the wild deer and walked for more than twenty minutes until they came to a campsite. Three military tents were spread out in a zigzag pattern, and in the open space in front of them, two mercenaries were cooking on a stove.

Yechen lay on the tree and observed from a distance, this is indeed a mercenary who has experienced the battlefield and has a bloody spirit on his body, but he is not a good hunter.

In fact, it can be inferred from the gunshot just now that they are not good at tracking down prey in the jungle - the guns are powerful and the movement is greater, and they are not afraid that the anomalies they are chasing are nearby, and they will be startled by the snakes? Now, lighting a fire to cook, curling smoke soaring, and even exposing the position, he almost held a loudspeaker and shouted: There are people here!

Despite this, Yechen didn't plan to avoid them, because they had their own urgently needed supplies, not to mention guns and bullets, just those refined salts and seasonings that they couldn't give up.

Although the physical fitness of the beginner practitioner is strong, it is not yet out of the biological category, and the eight essential amino acids and six nutrients need to be obtained through food and water, including salt. If you can't ingest enough salt, Yechen's body can't stay up for a few days, but refined salt is a material that is difficult to obtain in nature. Now that someone has sent it to the door, of course it can't be missed.

However, it is not so easy to get salt from these guys, the other party is five mercenaries who are fully armed, have rich experience in fighting, and they don't have the right weapons in their hands, whether it is stealing or robbing, it is not easy, it is better to sneak attack.

……

"Mike, your craftsmanship is terrible!" A bearded mercenary took a bite of the roasted venison, chewed it a few times, spit it out, and said with a frown, "This meat is not cooked at all." ”

"Why don't you come?" Mike, who was struggling by the barbecue, spread his hands and said, "I'm a mercenary, and I'm not a hunter scurrying around in a ravine, isn't it normal that I can't barbecue?" ”

The bearded mercenary's face turned a little ugly, but the expected quarrel did not arise. They are a small team, on the battlefield, if you want to survive, you must trust and rely on your teammates, and they have experienced life and death tests together, and the relationship between several people is absolutely strong.

The bearded mercenary said helplessly: "I know, I know, whoever asked us to know a little bit about cooking, I didn't expect your barbecued meat to be delicious, but at least it was cooked!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll try." Mike muttered, "I really don't know what the base camp thinks, why don't you let us bring dry food and not even let the car go!" ”

The base camp's arrangement for this mission is very strange: they are not allowed to drive, and a few of them can only carry dozens of kilograms of supplies on their backs and trek through the woodland; Five people, five weapons, ammunition cannot be borrowed; The most excessive thing is that they are not allowed to bring dry food and ask for "local materials", what is the matter! They are mercenaries, not poachers.

I felt that the meat skewers in my hands were almost grilled, and Mike picked it up and took a bite, it was greasy, fishy, and a little old, and it took a long time to swallow it, and it didn't taste very good. Mike genuinely misses the dry food he kept in the camp. The military dry food made by modern industry tastes very good, with meat and vegetables, rich in nutrition, convenient and fast, much stronger than the kebab in your hand!

Seeing Mike smash the kebab the grill, the captain who was on guard on the side advised him: "Be patient, brother, it's easier to capture a few unarmed fugitives than we are on the battlefield of Nikara." ”

Seeing that the captain had spoken, Mike said, "I know, I'm ...... I'm worried that we're running out of supplies. After all, we are not hunters, we don't track animal tracks, and it is already a lot of luck to successfully hit the prey like today. We can't just keep searching along the river, can we? Once you get out of the water source, it will be troublesome to find the prey, how can you search for fugitives when you are hungry? ”

The captain smiled and said, "You can rest assured that we are only two or three days away from the supply line, and we can withdraw in case of trouble." We still have some spare dry food to keep us back. ”

"Captain...... It's really thoughtful. Mike had nothing more to say.

After a struggling barbecue, the five-member mercenary squad began to pack their bags and prepare for today's search.

The camp they chose was very good, with a dry back, and a small stream more than a hundred meters away, although it was also a water source, but it was not like that small river, which attracted the large animals in the forest to drink, and it was convenient for them to get water.

Mike went with the barbecue grill, and was about to go to the river to clean it, when the bearded mercenary said, "I'll go with you." ”

"Come on." Mike said, "Just brush the barbecue grill, and you need two people?" You go and help the captain put the tent away, it's hard work. ”

"But......" The bearded mercenary hesitated. The base camp has repeatedly stressed that no matter what is done in this search, at least two people must be together, and no single person is allowed.

"Nothing." Mike laughed and said, "It's so far away, and there's nothing blocking the view, you can see how I pout my ass and brush these damn barbecue grills, what's there to worry about." ”

As he spoke, Mike didn't wait for the bearded mercenary to speak, and walked directly towards the stream.

The bearded mercenary hesitated, but still didn't follow, as Mike said, at a distance of more than a hundred meters, they could see clearly, what could be the surprise?

Humming a country folk song he learned from somewhere, Mike came to the creek with a barbecue, but he didn't need to wash it cleanly, just brush the grease and charcoal that remained on it.

The creek is really small, no more than two meters wide, less than half a meter at its deepest point, and the water is so clear that you can see the pebbles at the bottom of the stream at a glance.

After a few simple brushes, when Mike put the barbecue grill in the water to wash, he could still see a blurry reflection.

But...... How does this reflection not look like itself? Mike observed carefully, but because of the flow of water, the reflection was already very broken, and he couldn't see anything after looking at it for a while. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, suddenly, a reflection surfaced, or to be precise, a woman's face.

Just as Mike was about to cry out, the female ghost in the water grabbed him by the neck and dipped her face in the stream......

"Captain, captain!" The bearded mercenary shouted.

"What's wrong?" The captain, who was folding the tent and was about to stuff it into his backpack, asked.

"McTake ......"

"What's wrong with Mike?" The captain turned his head to look at it and said with a smile, "Drinking water in this posture, this guy is also chic enough." ”

"No......" the bearded mercenary's voice trembled a little, "he was in this position two minutes ago. "Although he didn't act with Mike, the bearded mercenary would look over the stream from time to time to check on Mike's condition.

"Damn it! That's not to go and see! The captain cursed secretly, holding a gun in his hand, and ordered, "You guys, cover me." "Walked briskly over.

"There seems to be a ...... in the creek Ghost. The bearded mercenary muttered, his voice getting quieter and quieter, and the last word was barely audible.

Don't look at this guy is very strong, but he has always believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. This is actually very common, on the battlefield, life and death largely depend on luck: bad luck, no matter how far you hide, a stray bullet will fly, and your brain will still collapse; If you're lucky, you'll be able to come back alive if you charge into battle. In this case, believing in gods and worshipping Buddha is a common phenomenon among mercenaries, but bearded mercenaries are especially strong, and they firmly believe that there are ghosts in this world, and ghosts will ask for their lives.

The captain cautiously walked to the creek and pushed Mike away with his gun, leaving him lying on his back. Sure enough, it's dead, and it looks like it's ...... How was it drowned?

The captain looked at the stream, how could such shallow water drown a person? At this moment, the female ghost in the stream reappeared, and the captain was taken aback, and raised his gun to shoot. Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and a short spear flew out of the bushes not far away, piercing the back of the captain's chest and piercing out.

Yechen's head was not very good, and he didn't shoot the mercenary's vital heart, but with such a big penetrating wound in his chest, even if he didn't die for a while, he wouldn't live long.

The leader of the mercenary team fell to the ground, belching and belching but unable to speak, spurting out blood foam and internal organ fragments, and the automatic rifle in his hand fell and was picked up by the female ghost in the water, and returned to the stream.

The female ghost that floated out of the creek was seen not only by the hapless captain, but also by several other mercenaries scattered behind him. Although there are strange ghosts in many places, no one has really met them, and this is the first time they have hit ghosts, and everyone was stunned for a while. It wasn't until a short spear shot from the bushes stabbed the captain that the others woke up and opened fire on the bushes, and for a moment the branches and leaves flew around, but they didn't hit anyone.

At this time, Yechen was already hiding in a big tree in the distance, fiddling with the automatic rifle brought by Hanshui.

The operation was a thrilling one. At first, Yechen was quite excited to see a mercenary come to the stream alone, who knew that the guy didn't have a weapon, only a barbecue grill. Fortunately, after waiting for a while, the second mercenary came to check the situation, and Yechen also saw that there were several team members behind him, but in order to get the weapon, he had to take the risk and retreat after throwing out the short spear, and finally he was not beaten into a sieve.
