My words made Zhao Jinfu laugh too, his expression became relaxed, he patted me on the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you actually started my ideological work." Okay, listen to you. When this mission is over, I'll go back and invite you to drink, and you can eat wherever you want. ”

I unceremoniously exposed his old bottom: "You have it, just your dead salary, usually send it back to my sister-in-law if you don't have a penny." Invite me to drink, and borrow money from my sister-in-law first. ”

We teased each other and relaxed a lot.

Then a soldier came to us and said, "Report! All four climbing points are ready! ”

We both stood up at the same time, and I tapped him on the shoulder in the back, and it was all in my mind.

Zhao Jin picked two soldiers who volunteered and had no family burdens, and the three of them set off lightly, leaving the rest of their belongings with us except for the necessary weapons.

We collected the glow sticks and cold fireworks, filled a backpack and handed it to one of the warriors who went to explore the way.

Originally, this thing was suitable for use in the dark, but we never dared to use it in the forest. Since the pit is empty, these things have just a place to use. I asked the soldier to put a glow stick every few tens of meters, which could also be used as a signpost for lighting.

Everything was ready, Zhao Jinfu first lit a cold firework and threw it down the pit wall. The cold fireworks that emitted a dazzling red light pulled all the way down the white smoke, and soon reached the bottom of the pit, I roughly calculated the time of falling, and it was about the same as I had estimated before, and the distance to the bottom of the pit was only about ten meters high.

Zhao Jinfu didn't say anything, grabbed a mountaineering rope and reflexively climbed down first, and the other two fighters grabbed the other two ropes at the same time and followed Zhao Jinfu closely.

"Be on guard!" I commanded the warriors around me.

Before the comrades went down to the bottom of the pit, as long as there was any slight movement in the dark, the bullets of the Type 95 automatic rifle would not hesitate to fly over and penetrate the target.

Zhao Jin helped down very slowly, he was very careful, and after each movement, he had to repeatedly observe the reactions around him. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years! Zhao Jinfu believes in this old saying.

At a distance of more than ten meters, it took Zhao Jin six minutes to reach the bottom. The cold fireworks that were thrown to the bottom of the pit just now had already been extinguished, even if we used a special one made by the army, but it lasted only more than 3 minutes, and it ran out of fuel when Zhao Jinfu was only halfway down.

Now there is no communication system, we can't communicate at any time, and Zhao Jinfu can only rely on himself and the two soldiers around him.

I could hear the sound of Zhao Jinfu and the soldiers pulling the bolts of their guns under the pit, but I could only see the light of the tactical spotlights on their helmets and guns above, and I couldn't see what was going on below.

I still couldn't hold back, lowered my voice and shouted, "Be careful! ”

I didn't get any answer, and I saw the beams of the spotlights of Zhao Jinfu and the others start to move forward.

After walking about ten meters, there was a faint blue light from them, which was the light emitted by the glow sticks, and then the blue light stayed in place like a blue dot, and then the searchlights began to move forward again.

The soldiers around me and I held our breath and listened carefully to the movements around us, for fear that if there was any noise from Zhao Jinfu's side and we didn't hear it.

Slowly, one blue dot after another stretched forward. However, the brightness of this glowstick is really limited, and when I counted the fifth blue dot, I couldn't see the next one clearly. On the contrary, I can still vaguely see the spotlights on Zhao Jinfu's bodies.

Waiting is the most irritating thing, since I started to see the spotlights of Zhao Jinfu and them, my mood has suddenly turned bad, and several times I impulsively want to go down to the pit to chase them. I guess the other fighters were in the same mood as me, and some even cursed in low voices.

Zhao Jinfu is not here, I am now everyone's commander, although I am also very annoyed, but my face is silent, and even I said to the soldiers very coldly: "Be steady, be a little patient." ”

After speaking, I looked down at the time, Zhao Jinfu and the others had been down for about half an hour, but they didn't send back any information.

I know that there is no information to mean that they are still moving forward and searching, but no one knows how big this pit is, so do they just have to keep going forward?

One of the soldiers beside me couldn't hold his breath and whispered to me: "Deputy Qin, the company commander has been gone for too long, why don't you send another team of people to pick them up?" I volunteered to be a member of the second team. ”

"I apply too!"

"I also volunteered!"

Several of the warriors chimed in and said to me.

"Shut up! Wait. I suppressed the impatience in my heart and coldly stopped everyone.

These soldiers were all brought out by Zhao Jinfu himself, and the feelings can be said to be no worse than me and Lao Zhao. It's normal for their company commanders to be in a hurry after they've been gone for so long, and I totally understand their feelings, because I'm feeling exactly the same as them at this time.

Seeing that my face was gloomy, the soldiers stopped talking, and they also knew that the relationship between me and Zhao Jinfu was closer than that of my own brother, and I would only be more anxious than them.

"This old Zhao, why is it so long?" After a while, I cursed in my heart, "If there is no danger, come back and inform us, he still has to search until the end of the search?" ”

Nearly an hour passed, and my patience was running out. I began to think about the soldier's suggestion to send another team to pick it up. But what if they go awry? When Lao Zhao and the others came back, the second team was gone, so wouldn't it be a mess.

It was the first time I had to make such a big decision at such an important time, and it immediately showed my inexperience, and I hesitated and didn't make up my mind for a long time.

At this moment, suddenly, "click, click", three rapid gunshots suddenly came from a distance, which was particularly loud in such a quiet place, and there were endless echoes around it. My heart shook, and I stood up.

This voice is all too familiar to us, it is a 95 automatic rifle.

"Lao Zhao is in trouble!" That's the thought that flashes through my head.

"Xiao Liu, follow me from your class, and the others will stay behind." I shouted loudly, my anxiety undisguised. Xiao Liu's squad is the most experienced in combat, and if Zhao Jinfu is in trouble, I must bring the strongest soldiers to the rescue.

To ensure firepower, I took his 95 automatic rifle from a fighter and inserted two magazines into the belt of arms.

We checked our weapons as fast as we could, and then descended the rope into the pit.

The distance of more than ten meters is not high, and it is not low, I began to almost impulsively want to jump directly, but at the critical moment I restrained my gaffe, grabbed the rope and slid down as fast as I could.

Several other warriors followed closely behind me, all with eager expressions.

But when I stepped on the bottom of the pit, I suddenly calmed down, and I said to the fighters who were following me, "Remember! Keep in formation, make sure you're safe first and then save people, don't come back, people don't save but put yourself in. Listen to the command, don't be impulsive. ”

The anxious mood of several fighters has stabilized a little under my instructions, and the most important thing at this moment is to stay calm.

I raised my gun, turned on the tactical spotlights above my head and on my gun, and walked out first.

After taking two steps, I realized that something was wrong under my feet, the ground was very soft, as if I had stepped on cotton. I couldn't help but look down at the ground, it was ordinary black dirt. I didn't pay much attention to it, no one had ever been here, and the soil was fine.

Soon we were next to the first glow stick stuck in the ground.

At this time, a soldier in the back whispered to me: "Team Qin, why didn't you see the footprints of the company commander?" ”

I was startled and hurriedly shone the light on the ground again. I looked around, and sure enough, as the soldier said, the ground around me was very flat, and there were no traces, not even the traces of half a footprint around the glow sticks.

"How is this possible?" I looked at the glow stick that was still on the ground, it still emitted a faint blue light, it was absolutely impossible for us to make a mistake, but why did Zhao Jinfu and the footprints they just pass by here disappear?

Things are getting more and more unpredictable, and I am even more worried about Zhao Jinfu's safety. I only have one thought now, which is to find Zhao Jinfu and the other fighters immediately, and then we will go back the same way immediately.

It doesn't matter if he's a fellow traveler or a horse friend, he can do whatever he likes, and if he cheats my comrades because of their stupidity, it's called unnecessary sacrifice.

Don't worry about more accounts and more lice, don't bite! Anyway, there are so many things I don't understand, and I don't bother to analyze them. I raised my gun and gritted my teeth and said to the fighters behind me, "Keep up!" Then he accelerated on his feet and ran ahead following the glow stick signs on the ground.

We were running fast, and I didn't hesitate to rush forward. Zhao Jinfu didn't know what was going on, and they would be safer the moment we arrived earlier.

Luckily, with glowsticks along the way, we won't stray. But what is disturbing is that I never saw Lao Zhao's footprints. It's as if the glow stick as a symbol grows out of the ground, and the three of them have never been here.

As we ran farther and farther, the distance between the glow sticks on the ground became larger and larger, and basically every two glow sticks reached the limit distance of sight, which is probably because the light sticks were used less and less.

I was secretly worried that if I didn't see Zhao Jin helping them at the last road sign, I really didn't know which direction to follow. It was pitch black all around, and there was no end to the barren land all around, and I had the illusion that I was actually running in place for half a day. If it weren't for the landmarks, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.

We ran for more than twenty minutes, and what worried me the most was that it had happened, when the road sign came to an end, and after finding the last glow stick, it was dark ahead, and there was no longer any object that glowed blue.
