Chapter 43: Departure

The next morning, the sky was overcast and drizzling, and the camp was in the sweltering humidity characteristic of the rainforest.

The chief and his wife hurried in, followed by the priest and a native, to the tent, and to one of the marines on duty anxiously gestured to see God.

The marines were startled, and said that they would act after breakfast, but yesterday they were shocked and scared, and it was a dance banquet in the evening, and now they are all asleep, and they hurriedly enter the tent to wake up Shasha, Ma Jianguo and the colonel were also awakened, and the two looked at each other, remembering what the witch said last night, and already understood why the chief came with his wife, it was about his son.

The two sat up, but did not stand up.

Sasha understood and asked her to go by herself.

Rustle walked out of the tent.

The chieftain bowed uneasily and said:

"My son betrayed his people, his ancestors, and God, and he left a note and quietly left, to follow a god who is better and more powerful than God."

As he spoke, he handed the folded note to Sasha.

Sha Sha opened it and saw a piece of paper the size of a cigarette box, full of strange symbols.

Sasha understood at a glance that he was going to follow the god who brought them light, not the god who brought no hope.

Sasha was very sad, she really wanted to do that.

Madame burst into tears.

The chief said:

"I have sent men to hunt him down."

Sha Sha was shocked and said:

"Call them back quickly, this matter must not be done, he is right, you let him go, he will understand later."

The chief was stunned for a moment, and said:

"Let him go?"

"God forgive everybody, go and call those people back."

What a god.

The chief respectfully said:

"Yes."

The priest hurriedly whispered to the natives behind him, and the natives hurried away.

Madame, who had always loved this god, was now moved to thank her and went away with her husband.

Sha Sha returned to the tent and explained the reason to Ma Jianguo and the colonel, who had already gotten up.

Ma Jianguo pondered for a while:

"It doesn't matter if he goes to them, it means that the Hound Star Man is nearby, and it also means that the Hound Star Man explained to him Shasha's intentions and showed him strength, Sha Sha handled it very well, he is also for his people, the problem is that the enemy is prepared, and they already know where the cave entrance is, we can only give them a little surprise, act immediately, and hurry up to protect Sha Sha Sha into the cave."

"That's it," the colonel immediately ordered.

The Marines quickly got up and quickly stood outside their tents.

"I'll go talk to the chief," Shasha said.

At this time the sentry came:

"The chief has brought someone."

The three of them looked back.

The chieftain was shirtless, with oil paint on his face and body, holding a spear, and behind him hundreds of natives who were also shirtless, barefoot with bows and arrows and spears, and the chief stepped up and said:

"Our great god, I will personally fight for you!"

Sha Sha panicked and hurriedly shook his hands and said:

"No, no, no, I am touched by your sincere hearts, but the enemy is very cruel, I don't want to see any of you die, go back and protect your people."

"No!" The chief shouted; "For God's sake, we will never die!"

The natives in the back raised their bows and spears and shouted:

"For God's sake, we will never die!"

"No, no, no," Sasha said; "Your spirit touches us, but now is not the right time, I am not ready, when the decisive battle comes, I will definitely fight side by side with you, leave a guide now, and the others will resolutely withdraw, please obey!"

Looking at the serious rustle, the chief was shocked and moved, God was thinking about them, although he had the determination to die, but God has always been far-sighted and magnificent.

So he said loudly:

"Yes! Obey! ”

Then left.

With spears in front and marines behind, the guides lined up and walked towards the rainforest.

In the afternoon, when they stopped beside a small river overgrown with torrents and weeds, he pointed to a small hill on the other side of the river and said:

"That's it, only God can open the hole!"

Everyone stood in a row by the river, looking across the river, an open field of nearly 500 meters in a circle, it was a flat stone field at the foot of the mountain, a small hill was raised in the middle, looking at the past from a distance like an inconspicuous bare grave, everyone was nervous, after a lot of hardships, they finally saw the base of the Andromeda people, if it wasn't for the guide to point out, who knew that it was the mysterious alien base, at this time, the river, the mountain bag, the jungle behind, there was silence, only the "rustle" sound of the wind blowing.

"Yes, the picture in my head," Rustle said after staring for a moment, turning to the guide; "You go back at once now, and tell the chief that whatever happens here, don't come and see it, understand?"

The guide nodded, bowed respectfully, and left immediately, quickly disappearing into the jungle.

Looking at the turbulent river with rocks and grass in front of him, Ma Jianguo said to the colonel:

"This is the peak of the torrential rain, and in half an hour at most, the flow will slow down, and then cross the river, what do you think?"

"That's right," said the colonel, putting down his binoculars; "I can't get over it now," then turned and ordered:

"Take a short break and be on your guard!"

After being on guard all morning in the humid and sultry rainforest, passing through the mountains and valleys, and drenching in torrential rains, the marines were too tired to do so, and after being on guard, they set up bonfires, roasted wet clothes, ate, and rested on the spot.

Wang Jinfen, Sha Sha, Colonel, and Ma Jianguo sat by the river, smoking, eating, and waiting for the river to slow down.

The colonel said:

"The entrance to the cave is right in front of us, and the enemy is so heavy that they don't show their faces once, and perhaps, their telescopes are facing us."

"This judgment will not be wrong, the chief's son said that he would throw himself into a more powerful god, but I think the enemy knows that the hole is here, but he doesn't know how to open it, maybe take this as a temptation, and wait for Sasha to open the hole at this moment to destroy Sasha, and then destroy the things in the cave, my idea is that as soon as Sasha opens the hole, she will go in desperately, we will drag the hole for a while as much as possible, but it really can't work, so we will pretend to let the enemy catch it, because Sasha gets something and gets out, our goal will be achieved, not to make senseless sacrifices, as long as Shasha lives, They will use us as bargaining chips, not daring to do anything to us, and tell the brothers about this idea. ”

"I agree that it is difficult to hide in such a large open space, and this is the best strategy, and I will tell the brethren about this idea so that they can be prepared."

"I don't quite understand," Wang Jinfen said, eating; "People hide secrets and treasures in hidden places, how can the Andromeda people make such a big open space."

Shasha laughed and said:

"Mom, this is the Andromeda people's clever plan, and you will know when the time comes."

The colonel and Ma Jianguo laughed when they heard this, they had already put life and death out of the way, but Ma Jianguo felt that this little fairy was sometimes very naughty, and sometimes she was arrogant, so he said solemnly:

"Shasha, you have to enter the cave at all costs, don't take care of us, get what you need, so that the enemy will use us as hostages to negotiate with you, and there is no communication here, even if you hear it, you have to turn a deaf ear, complete the task alone, after you enter the cave, we can't do anything, and we can fulfill our promise and help you complete the task, I believe that you will also fulfill your promise and help humanity complete the task."

"Dad is really verbose, but you only say two times about important things, and you can say it again."

Ma Jianguo glared at her, thinking that I was verbose, and it was a question of whether we could meet in the future, but he didn't say it.

After half an hour, the river slowed down, and the stones washed down from the river could be seen.

The colonel put down the binoculars and said:

"Mr. Ma, should we cross the river in all our hands or leave some people to guard the river, because it is a huge open field, and there will be no cover at that time."

"All across the river," Ma Jianguo said firmly; "I already feel that the enemy has surrounded us, they will first destroy the people left behind, so that we have no way to retreat, and then encircle and annihilate the people in the open field, the open land is our disadvantage, but also the enemy's disadvantage, everyone can't hide, they are waiting for Shasha to open the hole," Ma Jianguo said with a smile; "It's a pity, there's really nothing to hide."

"Not really," the colonel searched carefully with his binoculars; "It's all flat rocky ground, and we can only lay it out in a circle and use our backpacks as cover."

"In this way, give the order to cross the river, and when crossing the river and through the open field, surround Shasha in it, so that the enemy will not dare to open fire rashly, let alone use heavy weapons, and kill Shasha, and they will also fail."

The colonel turned around and ordered:

"All cross the river, wear body armor, wear steel helmets, and always surround the sand in the middle, so that the enemy does not dare to open fire, understand!"

“Yes!”

After a while, the marines, wearing body armor and steel helmets, and carrying equipment on their backs, formed a diamond shape to surround Sha Sha and Wang Jinfen, crossed the river from waist-deep water, and after going ashore, rushed through the open land of two or three hundred meters with all their might, and after reaching the mountain bag, they quickly surrounded Sha Sha and Wang Jinfen in the middle and lay down.

At this moment, there was a lot of gunfire all around, and the strange thing was that the bullets were not aimed at the marines lying on the edge of the mountain, but in the rainforest around the open field, on the top of the mountain, on the slope of the mountain, everyone did not understand who was fighting with whom, two helicopters jumped up from the rainforest, and quickly flew to the open field, the machine guns swept all the way, hitting the river, stones flew wildly, and when they reached the clearing, two ropes hung down, it seemed that they wanted to be airborne, capture the marines alive, and threaten Shasha to open the hole, at this moment, two fire and arrow bullets burst out of the hillside, Flying to the helicopter, the helicopter saw that it was wrong, and immediately flew obliquely, but was caught up by *** instantly, hit the tail, boom, the two helicopters dragged the smoke, swirled, and planted on the open ground a little in front of the marines, the fire rose into the sky, and the blown up screw propeller flew over everyone's heads with a roar.

The gunfire grew more intense.

Ma Jianguo shouted loudly:

"Someone is helping us, Shasha quickly open the hole."

“Yes!” Rustle screamed, jumped up, and threw himself on the mountain bag behind him.

The mountain bag was fifteen or sixteen meters in diameter and seven or eight meters high, and Sha Sha quickly circled around the mountain bag, and then jumped into the center of the marines and lay down, and said loudly:

"There's a spell from Andromeda on it, and it's poisonous, and there's a hidden hole ten meters in front of the left, so you can hide in it and put on a gas mask when it opens, understand!"

“Yes!”

Ten people immediately put on gas masks.

Sha Sha jumped up again, threw himself on the left side of the mountain bag, quickly wiped it with his hand, and shouted:

"La--din--m-a--"

The ground ten meters in front of the left slid silently to both sides, and a two-meter-square hole was opened, and the marines quickly jumped into the hole one after another, and the stone slabs quickly closed.

The Marines turned on the flashlight, and in the swaying beam, there was a stone room of more than 100 square meters, and then the Marines exclaimed, an image appeared on a cave wall, Sha Sha raised his hands above his head, and heard her shout again:

"La--din--m-a--"

Then there was a loud bang, the mountain bag opened like a bud, spewing out more than 500 meters high lava, it was the boiling lava of the volcanic eruption, scattered to the open like fireworks, the entire open field was within the range of the lava, none of the creatures on the open ground were spared, the wreckage of the two helicopters was quickly melted by the boiling lava, and then the marines saw two active volcanoes on the edge of the open field erupt, with a rumbling sound, firelight, lava, and skyrocketing, and smoke and dust rose like mushroom clouds, covering the sky and the sun.

Sha Sha, who had already been shrouded in his own blue energy cover, rose into the air, jumped into the open hole, the bud slowly closed, and Sha Sha disappeared.

The Marines were stunned, and then they realized that the open field was used for this, if they didn't know, open the hole, and the people on the open ground would be gone, no wonder the guide said that only God can open it.

The surrounding media quickly reported the eruption and noted that there were no casualties.

The Marines stared at the cave-like screen for a moment before they came to their senses, how could they get out, it was no different from being buried alive, it was full of boiling lava.

At that moment, the corners of the screen showed many people with weapons and camouflage uniforms, staring at the open field covered with thick molten slurry on the other side of the river.

At this moment, the other wall of the basement suddenly opened to both sides, revealing the hole, and a black tunnel led to a black tunnel with a flashlight. Just about to discuss, on the roof of the room, the stone slab that had just been closed was opened again, and the slurry poured down wildly, so how could it be discussed, so I quickly fled into the tunnel one by one, because the slurry behind it was poured over, and the poisonous gas was filled for a while, but fortunately they were all wearing gas masks.

The colonel shouted as he ran wildly:

"I saw the person in camouflage just now, if there is an enemy at the exit, surrender quickly, don't resist, our mission is completed, now the task is to live, wait for Shasha to come to save, understand!"

“Yes!”

The exit was actually by the river, and ten people became prisoners like turtles caught in an urn, because more than 20 hound star mercenaries in camouflage uniforms, in a daze, suddenly saw a place on the river bank collapse, revealing the hole, and went over with a gun, as a result, ten captives were caught by surprise, but they also paid the price, the first two were smoked down by the poisonous gas that rushed out, and then the molten slurry gushed out, and when the river water was buzzing with white smoke, it turned into blackened rock, and the escape tunnel was also sealed by the cold lava, and the entire open ground was covered with blackened lava that was gradually cooling.

Peel looked around, his heart palpitated, and whispered to Wang Jinfen:

"It's a strange battle, if you don't fire a shot, you become a prisoner."
