Chapter 021: Brush the Paint
Zhao Jinfu didn't understand what I meant, and looked at me in confusion. I couldn't explain it to him now, so I pointed ahead and told him to listen.
At this time, that Sun Ji spoke again, "The surname is Zheng!" A few of us are just people who love travel and adventure, and we are all distributed all over the country, and we don't usually know you, so what good do we do to you if you are embarrassed? ”
That Zheng Xiaocheng replied to him a little impatiently: "I have already said that you are all on the spot, and I didn't target any of you." I've explained it all, why don't you understand? I organized this travel expedition to meet whoever I met, regardless of region, regardless of gender, understand? ”
I watched the two people talking from a distance, because these two people were under the lamp, so I could see the dim figures of the two of them, and I wondered if the other three people were also around them. Camping lights are limited and can only illuminate small places.
I found that this Zheng Xiaocheng was talking to Sun Ji, as if he was still busy with something, he was facing away from Sun Ji at this time, and he couldn't see what he was doing, because the other half of his body was already hidden in the dark beyond the scope of the light.
Sun Ji is very short and should be sitting on the ground. I suspect that he is likely to have his hands and feet tied, otherwise that Zheng Xiaocheng would not have turned his back to him so reassuringly.
"Are you asking for money? I'll give it to you, there are 200,000 cash in my company's safe, as long as you let me go, I'll tell you the password immediately. "Sun Ji is still trying to survive.
However, his words only made Zheng Xiaocheng snort coldly.
Sun Ji continued to increase his chips, "I have a card on me, and there is more than one million payments in it, I will give it to you, as long as you don't kill me, I will give it all to you!" There was already a faint choked voice in his speech.
Zheng Xiaocheng seemed to be quite willing to talk to Sun Ji with or without a match, so he heard him say: "Money? Do you think I will have less money than you do? I've long lost interest in money! ”
"So what exactly do you want? You say, I'll get it for you! Sun Ji was already crying.
At this time, Zheng Xiaocheng turned his head unexpectedly, his face looked strange and hideous under the dim light, he looked at Sun Ji and said compassionately: "I only need your blood!" ”
"My blood? My blood! Sun Ji shouted out in a frustration, "Why? Why? You've already killed Liu Wenxia and Gao Dong, isn't it enough? What is the use of our blood? You, you pervert! ”
Zhao Jinfu and I looked at each other at the same time, and from each other's eyes, we thought the same sentence in our hearts: "Liu Wenxia is actually dead!" ”
Gao Dong is also one of these missing people, a native of Wuhu, Anhui Province. I didn't expect this Zheng Xiaocheng to have killed two people, Zhao Jinfu and I both had extra solemnity on their faces, it seems that this Zheng Xiaocheng is a complete murderer.
I'm still wondering what this murderer is trying to trick so many people into coming to the primeval forest where this bird doesn't, or even has no birds.
Zhao Jinfu pushed me to the side, and I looked at him, and he gave the order to round me up in sign language.
When Zhao Jinfu was about to arrange for someone to surround him, I suddenly held down his gesture and whispered to him: "Wait a minute, have you noticed that the situation around here is not quite right?" As I spoke, I pointed to the shadow where Zheng Xiaocheng didn't know what he was doing, "You see he's been busy with something, but I think his movements are very strange." And the atmosphere around me was also unsettling, and I always felt like there was something else here besides them. ”
Zhao Jinfu still has some trust in my sensitivity, and after listening to my words, he carefully observed Zheng Xiaocheng, who had been busy, with a telescope.
After looking at it for a long time, he put down the binoculars and said to me, "This person is quite strange, I see that his movements are a little familiar, just like ...... It's like painting a wall! ”
"Paint?" I was surprised by Zhao Jinfu's description, so I also used a telescope to look at it.
Zheng Xiaocheng was still busy there, and Sun Ji was still chattering there, raising his price, begging to spare his life. I looked at it for a while and found that it was really a bit like what Zhao Jinfu said, Zheng Xiaocheng looked like he was painting.
Beyond the light, it was completely dark, and even if you looked through a telescope, you couldn't see what Zheng Xiaocheng was doing in the dark. But he bent down as if he was picking up something, and then he began to swing up and down in the darkness with his right hand, and from time to time he would pause with his left hand for a few seconds, and then continue to swing up and down, and the whole movement really looked like a worker painting the walls.
"Is there something hidden in the darkness?" I was suspicious, and suddenly Zhao Jin, who was beside me, reached out and slapped him vigorously on the forearm of his own arm.
"What are you doing?" I was startled by the sudden and eager movement he made.
Zhao Jin hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's a little itchy on my arm, it seems that I have a pimple from allergies." ”
I didn't care when I heard him say that it was okay, and said to him: "I feel that there must be something in the dark that we haven't discovered, Zheng Xiaocheng will not be idle and bring so many people here to play the game of painting, and two people have already died for it." I agree with you, catch the person first, and ask if there is anything to go back to, otherwise I am afraid that he will attack Sun Ji in a while. ”
When I said this, I turned my head and glanced at Zhao Jinfu, and was surprised to find that this guy's expression was extremely distorted, as if he was uncomfortable, but he was trying his best to restrain himself.
I was shocked and asked, "What's wrong with you?" The face is so ugly? Isn't it uncomfortable? ”
"No, it's okay!" Zhao Jinfu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it's ......" and didn't even say the next words after saying two "yes". His expression was trying to be normal, but the sweat on his forehead betrayed him.
I realized that something was wrong, I know Zhao Jinfu too well, he didn't pay attention to the small injuries and pains, even if there was a training accident that dislocated his shoulder, he was still talking and laughing with me in a cold sweat. It's rare for this tough-guy character to have any discomfort that makes his expression so distorted.
"What the hell is going on? You tell me! I was a little anxious, because I was too close to the target, and I spoke in a low voice, but Zhao Jinfu could still hear the anxiety in my tone.
He squeezed out a smile and said to me, "It seems like I've been stung by something, and it hurts so badly." But it's much better now, let's get the guy arrested first, I'm fine. ”
If you can tell him that it hurts, it can be seen that it is not ordinary pain.
"When were you stung? Stung by something? I asked him uneasily, and before he could answer, I turned my head and patted the helmet of the soldier behind me, and whispered, "Call the medics!" ”
At this time, Zhao Jin grabbed my arm, and said in a low and impatient voice: "Shut up!" Don't talk. ”
Only then did I realize that Sun Ji had stopped talking. Zheng Xiaocheng, who had been there just now and didn't know what to do, had also stopped what he was doing and stood there looking at us.
Oops! It must have been a little high in the pitch of my anxious speech just now, and this guy noticed it.
"Just knock it down!" I said to Zhao Jinfu uneasily.
As soon as I finished speaking, Zheng Xiaocheng turned around again, as if he continued to be busy with his business, and my nervousness relaxed a little.
However, I underestimated the cunning of the opponent, Zheng Xiaocheng did not continue his action of brushing the paint, but disappeared into the darkness for a moment.
"Discovered!" Zhao Jinfu said: "Qin Jun, you take someone to copy from the right, the second platoon leader, you take someone to copy from the left, and the others rush over with me." If the opponent has a weapon or resists, you can be killed on the spot. Also beware that he may have accomplices! ”
In two seconds, Zhao Jinfu finished the order, "Action!" Zhao Jinfu said in a low voice.
We crouched up from the ground, and I turned back and nodded to the five fighters, and was about to strike at the front right. As soon as I turned around, I suddenly felt a little strange, and before I could react, there was a "poof" sound, as if something had fallen near us.
I subconsciously cried out: "Lie down!" Then he fell to the ground as fast as he could. Zhao Jinfu also found out, and pressed everyone's hands, and everyone instantly fell to the ground again.
Darkness can be inconvenient and potentially deadly. If it was a hand/grenade thrown at us, so many of us gathered in one place, casualties would not have been avoidable.
Luckily, there was no movement after the thing hit the ground, and I was furious, and the other party was obviously teasing us. I was about to jump, but I was helped by Zhao Jin and pulled down again. Then there was another "poof", this time it seemed to be a little closer to us.
Then the strange sound came around us one after another, and after listening to it a few times, I felt that what was thrown was not like the sound of an iron object falling to the ground like a hand/grenade, but like a balloon filled with water thrown on the ground. Because after every "poof" sound, I can hear the sound of splashing water.
"What the hell is this bastard doing?" I couldn't hold back my anger and asked Zhao Jinfu on the side.
Zhao Jinfu didn't speak, suddenly raised his gun, and shot at the dark place where Zheng Xiaocheng disappeared in the distance. Sun Ji screamed in panic when he heard the gunshot, first shouting "don't shoot", and then shouting "help", completely incoherent.
This time the suppression of fire worked, and nothing was thrown at us again.
"Up!" Zhao Jinfu's patience may have reached the limit, since the other party has discovered us, he simply led people to attack directly.
I followed behind Zhao Jinfu, the pistol had been opened and the bullet was loaded, as long as the other party played tricks again, I didn't mind killing him with one shot.
We were not very far from the target, and since we were exposed, we no longer hid, everyone directly turned on the tactical spotlights, and some soldiers fired cold fireworks, and a group of soldiers rushed towards each other like wolves.
Zheng Xiaocheng was still hidden in the dark, we could only see the camping lamp and Sun Ji shivering on the ground, I was afraid of an ambush, and shouted to the soldiers behind me: "Flares!" The goal is directly ahead. ”
Soon I heard a crisp "pop" from the fighters behind me, and the darkness was once again torn open by a flare.
However, when we saw the situation in front of us in the dazzling light, all of us involuntarily stopped running, and even Zhao Jinfu, a character whose face did not change when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, was stunned in place.
At this point, I don't know what words to use to describe what is happening in front of me, and I guess others feel the same way as I do. An illusion of detachment from reality arose in my mind, an exaggerated unreality so exaggerated that we couldn't believe what we were seeing.
The flares streaked across the sky like a shining meteor, and beneath that light was an incomparably huge tree.
