"Zhao Jinfu!" I screamed, "If you're still alive, make a noise!" ”

After an echo, no one answered me.

"Flares!" I shouted to the warriors behind me.

It doesn't matter what happens now, I use whatever equipment is available. This time it was a jungle mission, so we didn't have a lot of flares, but I'm in no mood to be stingy with these now.

With a "pop" sound, a flare that emitted a brilliant white light rose into the air, and suddenly illuminated the surroundings brightly, and my eyes were a little uncomfortable with the sudden white light.

After the flares lingered in the air for less than a minute, the light faded until the surroundings returned to darkness.

I yelled at the police, because the flare didn't make me find anything, and it was as if we had been thrown alone into a barren black desert, with the same sight everywhere, but there was no one to trace.

I didn't dare to leave the last lightstick that was a signpost, and I was afraid that if I went any further, it would be difficult to come back.

After the three gunshots just now, the silence was as dead as death. I don't know where Zhao Jinfu and them went, did they just disappear in a daze?

I became angry, but I couldn't do anything about it. At this time, the soldiers around me asked me, "Team Qin, what are we going to do next?" ”

I didn't know how to answer, at this time I realized that I didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of me, the conceit and pride of the past became a mockery of myself at this moment, the reality told me that without Lao Zhao, I, the deputy commander, was simply a dispensable ornament.

For a while, Zhao Jinfu's sarcasm and criticism of me in the past all sounded in my mind again, I used to sneer at him when I heard this, but now I think back and feel that those words are simply good words.

I began to regret it, I should have been more determined if I had known this, and left Zhao Jin behind while I explored the way, if it was him standing here now, I would definitely know what to do.

I was ashamed to meet the inquiring eyes of the soldiers, and even deliberately avoided their gaze.

At this time, suddenly a soldier whispered: "Team Qin, there seems to be movement over there!" ”

I came back from my daze, and when I listened, there was a rustling sound not far away, and it was very noisy, and it was obviously coming at us.

"Alert!" I whispered to the others.

Soon, we formed a scattered formation, all in a half-kneeling position, and the guns in our hands were aimed in the direction from which the sound came.

"What is it? Could it be that Lao Zhao is back? I muttered in my heart, "But the voice is wrong, Lao Zhao and the three of them can't make such a big movement, is it a beast?" ”

I was a little nervous again, and the "rustling" sound was getting closer and closer, and it was very dense, like a centipede with countless legs walking on the sand.

"Flares!" I whispered to the warrior behind me, "Shoot above the coming voice, I want to see what it's coming from!" "I was ruthless in my heart.

The second flare hit the sky at a 50-degree angle, and a dazzling white light dispelled the darkness around me, and I squinted my eyes to look ahead, and I was stunned by the scene in front of me.

I saw dozens of people running across from me, and the first one was Zhao Jinfu, who had disappeared, and behind him was all the soldiers of the second team.

I was pleasantly surprised by the sudden transfer of the peak circuit, and the moment I saw Zhao Jinfu, I had the urge to cry.

Zhao Jinfu also saw me, and he and the soldiers behind him stepped up and gathered with us smoothly under the light of the flares.

When Zhao Jin came up to me, he punched me in the chest, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you kid is smart and hit a flare, otherwise I and these brothers would have been completely lost." ”

I didn't expect that the first flare would become a signal to guide Zhao Jinfu to find me. I excitedly stepped forward and hugged him and gave him a big hug.

The fighters behind me also hugged the other group warmly, and it was a great feeling to be reunited.

Seeing that Zhao Jinfu was okay and brought back all the members of the second team, I impatiently asked him what was going on, and whether the gunfire just now was in danger.

Zhao Jinfu drank a few sips of water, glanced at the glow stick on the ground, and then said to me: "This is a long story, let's go back first, and I'll talk to you slowly on the way." We're going to take everyone and all our gear and set off, because we've found the missing group of fellow travelers. ”

I was shocked again, and the good news came one after another. However, I saw that Zhao Jinfu was slightly worried when he said this, it seems that there are other things in this.

Luckily, the glow sticks we were using were specially made and lasted for about five hours, so we started walking back along the signs.

On the way, Zhao Jinfu told me about what happened after they went down to the pit.

At that time, Zhao Jinfu took two soldiers down to the bottom of the pit and groped for the opposite side, leaving glow sticks as signposts along the way, which I all know. However, there were fewer and fewer glowsticks, but no valuable information had been found along the way, and there was no idea how far away it was from the other end of the pit.

And just then, they heard gunshots. Three gunshots were clearly fired not too far from them, and they were fired from the 95 automatic rifle, which had been heard thousands of times.

Only his comrades-in-arms had 95 rifles in their hands here, and Zhao Jinfu didn't say a word, so the soldiers ran over with cold fireworks towards the gunshots.

A few minutes later, Zhao Jinfu saw another squad of fighters, as well as a corpse lying on the ground.

The sudden reunion surprised the soldiers of the second team, and Zhao Jinfu's first words were: "Why did you shoot just now?" ”

The platoon commander of the second team said that after they lost their communication and positioning system, they relied on the help of the compass to move forward, but they did not expect to come to this mysterious pit.

As I had guessed before, the second team ventured down into the pit and continued to move forward, who knew that they would encounter an unexpected incident not long after they left.

They heard the cries, the cries of men.

The second team searched forward using cold fireworks, only to find a man lying on the ground. Since he was not sure whether the shout just now came from this person, the platoon commander of the second team led two fighters to investigate, and the other fighters were responsible for covering behind.

When he was still five meters close to the man on the ground, the man suddenly burst into flames and screamed and pounced on the warrior who was approaching him. Suddenly, a soldier opened fire, knocking the man down on the spot.

The platoon commander of the second squad checked the fallen man, one shot to the heart, two to the head, and was already dead.

Just when the second team didn't know what was going on, Zhao Jinfu arrived with people. Fortunately, Zhao Jin helped them to run with cold fireworks, otherwise they might have been shot by the second team as an attacker.

After listening, Zhao Jinfu examined the corpse, judging from the clothes, it was a native of Gaoligong Mountain, so Zhao Jinfu judged that this person was probably the unknown guide invited by the team of travelers.

Why he shouted to attract the attention of the second team, and why he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and then suddenly attacked the approaching people, Zhao Jinfu had no way of knowing. But in this guide, he found something even stranger.

The guide had his clothes, but they were in tatters, and it was supposed to be the result of his own tearing. And on the bare skin on his body, it was full of dense pus, and the density was almost impossible to see a piece of good flesh on him, even on his face.

When I opened his clothes, I found that some pustules had been scratched, leaving pus outside, and the smell was very unpleasant.

No one could think of what would cause such harm to people, and Zhao Jinfu suspected that this person might have been poisoned.

The deceased's face was distorted, and the pustules on his body caused him great pain, causing him to be delirious, manic, and aggressive.

If this person is indeed the guide hired by the group of travelers, then the missing person should be not far away, and it is likely that they are also in danger.

This place was already mysterious, and now that there was another attack, Zhao Jinfu was most worried about his own soldiers.

Maybe the group of travelers are like this guide, and they have all died under an unknown attack, or maybe this is what they did. In short, now all fighters are facing a great and unknown mortal danger.

So Zhao Jinfu immediately decided to find a way to gather the three teams together, and then go to find those who were missing.

Things have changed dramatically, this is no longer a search and rescue operation, it is likely that it has evolved into a life-and-death battle, but it is not yet possible to determine who the enemy really is. Therefore, the scattered team members have the possibility of encountering danger, and they must be found.

And Zhao Jinfu suddenly found that there was a big problem that needed to be solved urgently, and he couldn't find a way back.

Then Zhao Jinfu immediately discovered that there were no footprints on the ground, the soil under his feet was soft, but there were no footprints on the road he walked, which really surprised Zhao Jinfu. He looked at the dirt on the ground, but found nothing unusual. This kind of thing that goes against the laws of nature makes people panic!

In order to find the reason, Zhao Jinfu stepped on the ground fiercely, and after leaving a very clear footprint, he squatted next to him and observed carefully.

As time passed, Zhao Jinfu was surprised to find that the footprints on the ground were disappearing little by little, until they returned to the ground, and the footprints were completely as if they had never existed. This situation is a bit like the gummies that children often eat, no matter how much you twist it, it will slowly return to its original shape after a while.

It was unbelievable that such a thing could happen on the dirt floor, and Zhao Jinfu subconsciously thought of me, and he thought that maybe I could explain to him what the reason for this kind of thing was.

At this moment, the light of the flares rose into the sky.

Zhao Jinfu was overjoyed, he immediately put down the footprints that had disappeared in advance, and ran in the direction of the flare with the soldiers.

The light of the flare was only about a minute, and this one was even shorter, so Zhao Jinfu and the soldiers ran this way with all their might, but fortunately they met us before they lost their sense of direction.

After listening to Zhao Jinfu and me, I fell into deep thought, I was putting all the mysteries together, trying to find out the relevance.

Zhao Jinfu didn't disturb my train of thought, and led the team to run back along the road signs.
