Chapter 14: Rush to Temple Mountain
After I put away the pills, I went back to the car, looking like nothing had happened, eating and sleeping, and really resting for the day.
Early the next morning, we set off towards Temple Mountain.
After leaving the Kapachi village, the convoy drove into the deep mountains and old forests. At first, I was able to follow an old mountain road, although it was extremely bumpy, but it was still acceptable. But after a few hills, the car drove into the so-called no-man's land, and the old road, which was extremely bumpy at the beginning, was gone, and it was completely self-driving in the col.
The queue of the convoy was still maintained, with two large trucks one in front of the other, and the jeep I was in was still following the first one, presumably this queue was also arranged in advance. I don't object to this sorting, but Nima, what I can't stand is that we are behind the big truck, and we can't see the road conditions in front of us at all, and we can only judge the road conditions by the degree of shaking of the truck. Sometimes when we encounter a big pothole, the big truck in front of us doesn't matter, just shake it and drive it very calmly, but damn we are sitting in a jeep, and the high frame of the big truck can't be compared at all, and a few times we almost didn't roll over in the pit.
Although this drive in is not thrilling, it also makes us feel a heart. Always stop-and-go, either down to push the cart, or the car in front of it can't find the direction, anyway, there is always a little bit of a difference, so that the march slows down.
Although Kui Ye had been to Temple Mountain before, it had been twenty years, and he had walked in on foot, and he had taken shortcuts to the top of the mountain, and he couldn't tell how the car could go around, so he could only rely on that little memory of the year and command the convoy with his feelings.
I don't doubt Kui Ye's memory, after all, he hasn't reached the so-called sixtieth year, and besides, those who do our job have a very good memory and accurate judgment of direction, so I'm not worried.
Along the way, the old prostitute and the sniper sitting in the co-pilot were very happy, and suddenly found that these two guys were very close to each other, one could blow better than the other, and the thief didn't pull the right line. Noke had been quiet and had not spoken, probably because his father had only been buried yesterday, so he was in a somewhat depressed mood.
As for me, it's not that I don't want to speak, but I haven't been able to interject, and I was kicked by Xiao Moyan yesterday, and I always feel a little ashamed, and I'm embarrassed to say anything more. Xiao Moyan didn't feel anything, as usual, he still said a word or two to me from time to time, but I just dealt with it a few times and didn't communicate too deeply.
It was almost noon when the convoy finally stopped, but instead of reaching Temple Mountain, the way was blocked by a large mountain. The mountain col we came in here is considered to be at the end of here, Kui Ye said that the convoy can only drive here, and then, there are still dozens of miles of mountain roads to reach Temple Mountain.
These dozens of miles of mountain roads can only be traveled on foot.
We simply had a bite to eat in the car, and after eating, we didn't rest. Xiao Moyan sprayed some sulfur powder on each of us, and although this sulfur powder has been deeply processed, it still has a strong pungent smell.
After that, the equipment and food brought by each person were distributed, and this time the old prostitute was not disappointed, and he got his wish and got a European-style submachine gun. Although I don't know the name of this European-style submachine gun, it should look good, not as bulky as I've seen before, and this one is obviously small and handy.
The sniper said that this submachine gun has a small recoil, a large ammunition capacity, and can also shoot with one hand if necessary, and the bullet speed is extremely fast, the only drawback is that this gun is only suitable for close range, and it will lose accuracy if it is too far. He also said, don't look at the small size of this European submachine gun, but the price is extremely high, and it is more than 30,000 euros per gun from Europe.
Although I was also given a gun, the little wolf didn't give me any other equipment, but gave me two strange little animals.
When everyone else was ready to set off with their equipment on their backs, only Xiao Moyan and I were each holding two small animals. Looking at these two strange little animals, it really made me cry and laugh, and my heart said, what does this mean by the little wolf, everyone else is ready to go, but only I am leading the animal with a woman, is this fucking obviously looking down on me?
It may be that my face is a little unsightly, but Xiao Moyan saw it, and she said to me: "Don't underestimate it, whether you can reach Temple Mountain smoothly this time depends on it." ”
Although I understood Xiao Moyan's words, it seems that this thing is very important, and we wouldn't be able to reach Temple Mountain without it, but I still don't understand what the importance of such a big thing can be.
If it was someone else who said it just now, I would have asked directly to understand, but it was Xiao Moyan who spoke after all, and her embarrassment had not been completely resolved, and I always felt bad to talk to her again, so I didn't ask it.
But after thinking about it, it is better to carry this thing on a mountain road for dozens of miles than to carry heavy equipment, at least these two small things don't have to be carried, and they will walk by themselves. Life is like this, think more about the good side, and your heart will naturally feel more open-minded.
I took a closer look, and the two strange little animals I was holding were both like puppies and foxes, less than half a meter long, with small pointed mouths and ears, but they had strong bodies, especially when they opened their mouths to show their sharp teeth, their hideous faces were revealed.
With that was all set out, we headed deep into the mountains.
After crossing the mountain that blocked the col, the scene was completely different from the mountains we had passed over. The mountains inside are intricate, criss-crossed from mountain to mountain, and there is no law to speak of, like a place where dragons have no leader.
The forests here are primitive, with all sorts of strange shapes, and even some weeds grow taller than people. I don't know if the road is the reason for the rain the night before, or the rain here itself is very abundant, all the places where there are pits along the way, there is a certain amount of stagnant water, and the stagnant water is full of black mountain leeches, which looks dense. Even if you don't get bitten, just looking at it for a moment or two will make you feel uncomfortable.
There were three mercenaries who always walked in front of the way, and we just followed them, keeping a certain distance. Although the road here is extremely difficult to walk, these mercenaries are not given for nothing, presumably, Kui Ye must have done special training for them to cross the primeval jungle.
After passing a few small hills, the three mercenaries in front suddenly stopped, and instead of moving forward, they ran back at a very fast speed.
Seeing them running back, all the mercenaries raised their guns.
