Chapter 26: The Game of Survival (13)

"What then?" The team member next to him said with some concern.

"Nothing." The captain of the jungle mercenary squad was quite calm, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Carl, Carl, target thirteen is following you, target thirteen is following you, according to the information, the target has a certain ability to control water, pay attention to avoiding water sources, and again, pay attention to avoiding water sources." ”

Carl was the temporary leader of the three-person team, and when he heard the captain's reminder on the walkie-talkie, instead of worrying, he showed a cruel smile and said, "Okay, I see." ”

Putting the walkie-talkie back in his jacket pocket, Carl whistled and said to the players on the left and right: "Brothers, we have a job to do, the goal is to follow, and if you catch that guy, you can get a bonus, a full 10,000 pounds!" ”

Among the mercenaries, Carl belongs to the kind of guy who asks for money and doesn't want to die, as long as he gives enough money, he dares to take any task. According to him, the mission is completed, you can enjoy life as much as you want, and if the mission fails, you can leave this world full of pain early. It's all earned anyway, so why be afraid?

The two guys next to Carl are similar to him, one is named Tom and the other is called Bit, both are wild children who grew up in the slums, and they are also fierce and death-defying fanatics.

"Great." Tom, who had several scars on his face, spat on the ground and said, "Finally, there's a result!" After dozens of days of searching in this damn woodland, I didn't want to do it anymore, it was so boring, I wouldn't have taken this task if I knew it. ”

Tens of thousands of mercenaries who are proficient in jungle fighting, even if it is a powerful umbrella mercenary association, there is no way to collect them, there is no way, the association has to recruit some wandering mercenaries, Carl they are.

The Umbrella Hiring Association was worried that these recruited mercenaries would not be able to do a good job, so they were specially dispersed and assigned to various teams, and the three of them were assigned to this ten-person squad.

During this time, the three Karls, who were lazy and accustomed to it, were detained by the captain, whether it was marching, searching or camping, everything had to be in accordance with the rules.

Rules, rules! It's all those damn rules! Wetting has to be covered with dirt, this is the Kalinzan Forest, not the center of Nurem! Besides, even in the center of Newlen, he didn't look for a handful of soil to cover when he peed.

After dozens of days, Carl and they were already bored. Seeing that they finally caught up with their target, these guys were finally happy and less aggrieved.

"Boss, what are we going to do?" Bit asked.

This guy was skinny and small, and looked malnourished, as if a gust of wind could blow it away. This kind of stature is rare among mercenaries who need physical strength and fighting, but Bit's fame is not small, and "Madman" is talking about him - extremely crazy in battle. "Crazy" here is not an adjective, but it does mean that this guy's spirit seems to be a little problematic, he never thinks about life and death in battle, and he rushes to death in every mission. But this is the case in the mercenary world, desperate people who are not afraid of death can often really survive, and it is easier to die if they cower, so the madman Bit has survived until now.

Carl looked down and thought about it, looked at Bit, and asked, "Bit, are you bold?" ”

Bit pulled out the dagger, stuck out his tongue and licked it, the sharp blade sliced through the tongue, and a mouthful of blood flowed. He opened a bloody mouth and said, "What do you say? As long as the boss commands, you can stab me three times, or stab you three times? ”

Stared at by the ill-intentioned gaze of Bit's bloodshot eyes, Carl felt a chill down his spine. What a madman! Carl scolded secretly and said: "Now the target is behind us, it's not easy to catch it, this guy can't slip away, and he accidentally let her run away." The captain said that the target has the ability to control water and tends to attack close to the water source, so I wondered if I could find a way to lure her out. ”

"I see." Bit yelled, startling Carl, and ran in one direction.

After running for five or six hundred meters, I found a small river, but it was just over a meter deep and four or five meters wide. Bit didn't care if his teammates kept up with him, let alone Carl's plan, he took off his clothes briefly, and a fierce man plunged into it, swam around in the stream before he floated, and said to Carl who came closely: "This water is so cool, you guys come down too!" ”

Karl stood next to him and said, "Are you crazy?!" ”

Bit tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "I'm not crazy, didn't you say that the target has the ability to control water and wants to lure her out?" ”

Carl was speechless for a while, and what Bit said was basically right, but Carl had planned to find someone close to the river and lake to lure the target out in this way, but he didn't plan to ...... Forget it, no matter, Carl waved his hand, his life is Bit's own, he can do whatever he wants, he can't control it.

Bit swam happily in the creek, while Carl and Tom lay in ambush around, staring at Bit and shooting at the slightest hint of a situation.

Carl: Although they are known for their combat madness, that doesn't mean they aren't good mercenaries. The patience that mercenaries should have was not lacking, and they waited for more than two hours, and the surroundings remained as usual, without any anomalies.

Swimming for two hours, before the target came, Bit's physical strength couldn't keep up first.

It's a small river, and Bit has to swim to get there, or he doesn't know he'll be swept there.

It would be nice to find a pond or something, the water is still, as long as it floats, it's easy and effortless.

Just when Bit was thinking about whether to apply to the captain and lead the target out in a different place, he suddenly felt a pain in his left leg.

Is this a cramp? It shouldn't be. It was indeed a little hot at this time, and it was easy to cramp if he jumped directly into the icy water without preparation, but he swam in this small river for two hours, and even the strong physical fitness of the tester was a little unbearable. How can you cramp in this case?

Bit just wanted to say hello to Carl and get himself out first. Suddenly, the bit felt the temperature of the water around him drop, and it was a rapid decrease.

This...... This...... Bit didn't figure out anything, the water in the river was already freezing cold, and he even wondered if the river had fallen below freezing, otherwise how could it be so cold?

"Carl......" Bit only called out a name, feeling that something was grabbing his foot, and there was a force to drag himself into the depths of the river.
