Chapter 20: Rites of Passage
Everyone was quiet, preparing for the battle. Yi Shulan looked at the thirty or so children handed over to her, and felt very uncomfortable. She didn't know that she had offered not to treat them as children, and that the children would not accept them. But she didn't have time to think about it, she began to work with Xiang Yunlong to check the equipment for the children one by one.
When the time was almost up, Miranda gave the order, and the first group of people to descend the mountain began to move into the valley. They descended silently into the valley and entered their lurking positions about five hundred meters from the Jones.
When the first group of people is lurking, the second group and the third group will go down the mountain in turn...... By the time everyone had descended into the valley, the Jones were about to call it a day, and the Jones men who were in charge of distributing the dinner, pushing a small cart, were delivering the food to the Jones people who were sitting there resting.
Miranda raised her hand, then pressed down forcefully, giving the order to attack. All of a sudden, the shoulder-mounted missile launcher and the rocket launcher opened fire at the same time, and the missile and rocket roared towards the place where the Jones people were concentrated, and all kinds of guns in everyone's hands also spat out tongues of fire at the same time, pouring down on the Jones crowd......
"Rush!" As soon as the first wave of long-range attacks passed, Miranda shouted and rushed towards the Jones first. She shot as she ran, and the others immediately followed, quickly running a few hundred meters. Their grenades flew out in time, and the rumbling explosions and the angry shouts of the earthlings shook the entire valley. The unsuspecting Jones, before they could organize an effective resistance, were completely defeated.
The battle was soon over, and most of the two hundred Jones men died within ten minutes, and the rest of the resisted not long before they surrendered and became prisoners. On the earthlings' side, only a dozen fighters were killed, and a dozen or so were wounded.
"We made it!" Earthlings cheered.
Miranda did not delay, she ordered her subordinates to immediately search the Jones' temporary base, take as many guns and ammunition as possible, and take away everything they could eat. Then, they set fire to what they could not take with them, and immediately withdrew to the mountain with more than two dozen prisoners. From the start of the war to the evacuation, the whole process took less than an hour.
At the top of the hill, Miranda looked back. In the distance, she saw the Jones mothership appear behind the opposite ridge, and couldn't help but sneer, "The Jones people are not iron-clad!" ”
"This battle is very relieving!" Long Xiaoyu also said: "Let's find a place to hide first!" ”
They quickly retreated to the hill and began to move with the team.
"What about the captives?" Xiang Yunlong saw these two dozen captives and felt very troublesome: "I heard that the Jones people are very secretive, and they may have trackers in their military uniforms. If we take them with us, will we be exposed? ”
"Well, it's still Yunlong who has a scheming!" Miranda said, "I've heard of this too......"
"I think I'll just kill them all!" Xiang Yunlong suggested: "It's useless to keep it anyway!" ”
"Wouldn't it be too good to kill the captives?" Liao Xinxin said: "Can we exchange them for our people, such as Brother Yangyang?" ”
"Impossible! I don't know if Brother Yangyang is dead or alive, how to exchange? Xiang Yunlong said hatefully: "Didn't all the earthlings in the dungeon who were captured by them be killed by them!" They can kill, why can't we? ”
Miranda was silent, she regretted it a little. All the earthlings who were captured in the dungeon were killed by the Jones, and all the earthlings knew about it. I knew that these Jones people should have been killed on the battlefield to avoid future troubles.
As for Qin Haoyang, even if he is alive, the Jones people will not exchange him for these Jones people. The importance of boys, Miranda knows very well. But to kill the prisoners, Miranda is a very orthodox soldier, and he really can't make up his mind.
"Strip them all of their clothes," Miranda thought for a moment, and chose a compromise solution, not to kill them, but to strip them of their clothes. In this way, if they have any trackers on their clothes, they can just throw them down.
Soon, more than 300 earthlings, with more than 20 naked Jones captives, disappeared into the mountains.
But this time, they were out of luck, and Jones Moon was ruthless. The army she brought with her a thousand people this time, after being attacked by Miranda and them, the total loss has exceeded one-third, and she can't deal with the earthlings on both sides separately. She simply turned around and took the rest of her army to give up the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Jingyi and Xiang Zidan, and set her sights on the earthling team of Miranda and Long Xiaoyu.
Miranda and Long Xiaoyu have been wandering around this mountain range with more than 300 people, but they have never been able to shake off the Jones army that is trailing. Originally, in the mountains and forests, if the Jones people came down to the field, they were not afraid. But the Jones mothership was always on the air watch, and as soon as the battle began, it would be flanked by the gunfire from the Jones mothership. After a few times, dozens of people were lost.
What's worse is that they can't stop adding after being stared at and beaten like this. Soon, they ate all the food they had with them, and finally had to pick some wild fruit leaves to satisfy their hunger.
"It can't go on like this!" Finally got rid of a tracking by the Jones people, and when she stopped to catch a short breath, Miranda said to Long Xiaoyu and Yi Shulan and others: "If we can't get rid of their tracking, we will be quickly dragged down!" ”
"Contact Commander Zhang and Sister Zidan," Long Xiaoyu said, "Let them send someone to support us!" ”
"They've already been sent," Miranda said helplessly, "Zidan personally led the team, followed closely behind the Jones to attack them, and even destroyed one of the Jones' landing craft." But this time the Jones people are not fooled, and they are determined to bite us to the death! ”
Jones Moon learned a lesson this time, and he held on to a group of earthlings and fought for each break.
"Although the ammunition is not exhausted, the food is exhausted!" Long Xiaoyu sighed. She knows that people are iron and steel, and they can't rest without eating, drinking, and resting, so they can't last long: "It seems that this time we are in a catastrophe!" ”
"Let's divide our forces!" Miranda thought about it for a long time, and couldn't think of any way to get out of the predicament, so she said to Long Xiaoyu: "You take the children and separate from us." I'll take the rest of the people and deal with them, as long as we get these kids to safety, we won't lose! ”
"It's better for you to take the kids away!" Long Xiaoyu said: "I'll bring someone to cover you!" ”
Before they could finish their deal, the sentinels reported that the Jones had followed, and they had to flee again. After running for most of the day, I finally threw the Jones away again.
"I'm tired!" Xiang Yunlong also began to cry tired. Running desperately hungry is indeed too tiring: "Sister, you haven't discussed it yet?" ”
"Am I just about to pass!" Yi Shulan said: "You just hurry up and rest!" ”
"You're procrastinating enough!" Xiang Yunlong said with annoyance: "When you discuss it, we will all starve to death!" ”
"Stop complaining, Yunlong!" Yi Shulan patiently persuaded him: "I'll come when I go!" ”
Yi Shulan went to Miranda and Long Xiaoyu again. Xiang Yunlong waited for her to go away, and then called a few older boys, and several people came to the Jones captive together. He looked at the captives one by one, and when he saw a fat captive, he pointed at her with a gun: "Get up! ”
The Jones captive looked at him and stood up.
"Do you think this is okay?" Xiang Yunlong asked a few boys.
"Well, this one is quite fat!" A boy looked at the captive and said.
"That's her!" Xiang Yunlong said, and ordered the prisoner to go forward. When an aunt in charge of the captives asked him what he wanted to do, he replied, "I'll find you something to eat."
The aunt was stunned for a moment, and no longer stopped. Xiang Yunlong is Xiang Zidan's son, and these earthlings all know what he wants to do, and they don't want to care about it.
The group escorted the Jones captive and walked a few dozen meters to the side in the woods. Xiang Yunlong looked back, and could no longer see the people behind him, so he said, "Okay, that's it!" ”
"Brother Yunlong, what are we really doing?" A boy hesitated.
"Of course! Are you scared? Xiang Yunlong sneered and looked at the boy who was a little hesitant, glared at him viciously and said, "I'm afraid you can not participate!" ”
"Of course I'm not afraid!" The boy naturally didn't want to admit it.
"If you're not afraid, then don't talk nonsense, let's do it!"
After Xiang Yunlong finished speaking, several boys tied up the Jones female captive with their hands and feet, and stuffed a piece of cloth in her mouth to prevent her from screaming. Then they tied her with a thick rope, and the other end of the rope went through a tree and pulled it so hard that the Jones captive was hung up with her feet in the air.
Xiang Yunlong pulled out the military dagger tied to his calf, walked up and grabbed the female Jones's hair, and turned her face to himself.
The female Jones's eyes widened, and her eyes were frightened, because her mouth was gagged, and she could only make a "whine" sound.
"I'm sorry, you forced it!" Xiang Yunlong stared at the frightened eyes of the female Jones without fear: "Your people chased after our butts, driving us around and leaving us without food or drink, we can only eat you!" ”
"It's a shame to kill like this......"
Xiang Yunlong raised his knife and was about to cut the neck of the female Jones, when he heard a boy behind him say that it was a pity, so he turned around and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Why don't we use her to cool off before we kill her?" The boy smiled and said, "It's a pity that you just killed the monster!" ”
"Great idea!" Xiang Yunlong thought for a moment and immediately praised it.
They immediately moved to put down the female Jones who had been hoisted. The two boys grabbed the female captive who was tied behind her back, making her kneel and pouting her buttocks, while the others giggled and began to take off their pants...... A few people were giggling and having fun, when they suddenly heard an exclamation: "Brother Yunlong, what are you doing?" ”
Xiang Yunlong looked back, and she saw Zhang Xiaoran and Liao Xinxin with frightened faces and looked at them stupidly. His face changed slightly, but then he showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "It's nothing, I let my younger brothers perform a coming-of-age ceremony!" ”
Zhang Xiaoran and Liao Xinxin ran away.
