Chapter 190: Dragons
There were no stars or moons that night, and the sky was dark and I couldn't see my fingers. But we still carried our backpacks and weapons without hesitation and went directly into the first forbidden place in the southwest: the 100,000 mountains.
Before leaving, the lieutenant officer told us that in addition to the ubiquitous corpses in the 100,000 mountains, we should also be careful of the exorcists hiding in Vietnam.
After all, this is the border, and half of the 100,000 mountains are at home and half abroad. Although no one would send troops to this place because of the tacit understanding between the two countries, the exorcists who did not obey the discipline were not among them.
If we can get in from this side, the other side will come in from the other side.
After leaving the armored car, the road ahead became difficult, and without the spraying of defoliant, the mountain forest already had a bit of a tropical rainforest smell. Vines climb everywhere, all kinds of swamps, poisonous insects hide in the dark, trying to choose people to eat.
At this time, the role of the shark finally appeared, after all, he had been guarding here for nearly two years, and for him, this mountain forest was like his backyard.
Even in the dark of night, sharks still carry us through the dense forest with ease. During this time, he set up concealed markings, customized routes, and relied on electronic maps provided by lieutenant officers to indicate the first resting point.
At about four o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the first resting point.
This resting spot is actually a tall forest, so dark that I don't recognize what kind of tree it is, anyway, judging by the thick trunk, it has lived for at least a few decades.
The shark put the flamethrower down and climbed up like an ape, and after a moment it climbed down again, pointing to the three big trees around him, and said, two people in each tree, looking for the kind of steady, three-pronged branches.
Hold yourself in place with a rope to avoid falling from the tree when resting, and sprinkle sulfur powder on the trunks of the surrounding trees to prevent snakes and insects from sneaking up.
It was my first time spending the night in a big tree. However, I vaguely remember where I saw it, and in the jungle, this way of spending the night is very safe. At the very least, it can prevent many fierce beasts in the forest from coming to harass.
The shark is worthy of being a good hand in the army, and the three big trees selected are horns for each other, and they can take care of each other. Then connect them with ropes, and you can jump from one tree to another if necessary.
We worked for more than ten minutes before settling down, Wen Taizi and I were on a big tree, and the other two big trees were Su Zi'an and Shark, which were occupied by the Zhong brothers.
Originally, this kind of vigil was enough for one person, but everyone knew that this place was not peaceful, so after discussing it, it was decided that there should be a person on every big tree to watch the night.
I saw that Wen Taizi had too many things to worry about along the way, so I took the initiative to tell him that I would come to the vigil tonight and ask him to rest well.
Wen Taizi was not reluctant, and after doing a safe job with a rope, she lay down on the branch and began to rest. Looking at the other two large trees, through the black foliage, I could vaguely see that they had also arranged their own night watch, so I breathed a sigh of relief and focused my attention on the impermeable depths of the jungle.
It's early in the morning, biologically speaking, when people are most tired and the darkest time of the day.
There is a saying in the circle about this point in time, which is called the dark hour. Legend has it that the dark hour is the time when all kinds of evil things are most active, and the reason for this is probably similar to the "Last Carnival"
It probably means that after the dark night, it is the time when the yin energy dissipates and the yang energy rises. At this time, if the demons don't hurry up and revel, they will never have a chance again.
Because I understand this truth, even if I am very mentally exhausted, I have to cheer up. As long as you survive this last dark night moment, the yang energy gradually rises, and you can relax a little.
The forest was silent, except for the night wind that rattled through the leaves. I took out a piece of chewing gum from my pocket, tore it open and put it in my mouth, so that the mint flavor would raise my spirits, and secondly, I would chew my head in my mouth, so that I wouldn't fall asleep in a daze.
It's just that as soon as I took out the chewing gum, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, why was the posture of the person on the big tree opposite so strange?
Because the three large trees chosen by the shark are well angled, they belong to the state of a solid triangle. Even though we were on different trees, we could see each other.
If I remember correctly, the big tree was climbed by the shark and Su Zi'an, and the two of them rested and kept vigil. When I was settled in just now, I glanced at it, and I vaguely saw a man leaning against a tree trunk with an assault rifle, probably staring around.
Now it seemed that the man was still under the trunk, but his posture had changed, and he had become the kind of person standing next to the trunk, with his hands desperately stretched out, as if he was going to take something off it.
At first, I didn't pay attention to it, but suddenly I realized that this person's arms were too long, right? It stretched up a full two or three meters!
Now I am not calm, the person who kept vigil on that tree was either a shark or the handsome uncle Su Zi'an. But no matter who it is, it can't be two or three meters long for an arm, right? He's not Luffy in One Piece, did he eat the arubber fruit?
I was also an alert person, and I knew right away that something was wrong, so I drew my burning stick and struck it twice on the trunk of the tree.
The sound was inconspicuous in the woods, and at first glance it sounded like a woodpecker chiseling wood. But in fact, this is the code I agreed, and if someone rings the code, the person on the tree opposite will respond.
But when I rang the code, there was no response from the two trees on the other side.
My head buzzed, and my heart was broken!
They couldn't have fallen asleep, or had been negligent enough to hear my code, the only thing that could have been an accident had happened!
I didn't dare to turn on the bright flashlight easily, so I wanted to wake up Wen Taizi, and the situation might not be quite right. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned my head, I felt the sound of the leaves above my head, and I subconsciously looked up, and a white face suddenly poked down from the branches and leaves.
The appearance of this human face was too abrupt, and it was poking out from the top of the tree. So I didn't react for a while, and I was stunned.
At this moment, a pair of soft, snake-like cold hands came out from the side of the human face, grabbed my head with both hands, and covered my mouth and nose with their hands.
Don't look at this arm is soft, but the strength in the hand is definitely not small, I can't even make a sound after this guy covers my mouth and nose.
Not only that, but these arms also grabbed my head and lifted it up, and in pain, I grabbed the burning stick and hit it indiscriminately.
At the same time, it suddenly occurred to me in my mind, grandma, no wonder I saw the person on the opposite tree stretching out his arm and touching it, so what is it that stretches out his arm and touches it? Obviously, he was also dragged up by this pair of soft and long arms like a snake!
Because there is no light around, Rao can only see one wheel hub with my eyesight, and I think that the person has two long arms from a distance!
But he said that the hands dragged my head up, and if he lifted it in the air, it would be no different from hanging, and he had to be suffocated to death. That's why I didn't spare my hands when I beat me with a burning stick.
This is indeed extraordinary with the burning stick, the sun on it will automatically burn when it encounters evil, I hit the stick over, and when the flames flickered, the burning hands slipped into the forest.
Now I took a breath, and I didn't care about being noticed by the corpses in the forest, and shouted angrily: "Be careful! There's something! ”
Before I could finish speaking, the face of the man on the tree slammed down on me.
Where am I polite now? He smashed the stick, and in the flickering firelight, the human face screamed, and the whole body burst into flames.
The fire was blazing, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daylight, and at this time, I finally saw what this thing looked like.
This thing is like a malnourished big monkey, no more than 1.5 meters tall, but with two arms more than 2 meters long. The arm was floppy, and there was some viscous liquid, and it was this thing that poked down from the tree and grabbed me by the neck to lift me up.
Although the shape of the body is a little strange, this thing has a human face, and when I saw this human face clearly, I was so frightened that my face turned white on the spot.
Fuck it, how does this face look exactly the same as Zhang Wuren!
That's right! This person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, and pursed lips, which definitely looks exactly like Zhang Wuren. If it weren't for the fact that this face was definitely not human, I would have thought that he was the boss I was trying to save!
Originally, I wanted to smash it down with a burning stick, but after seeing Zhang Wuren's face, I didn't dare to make a move, and at this time, the human face screamed, grabbed the trunk with both hands, and rushed out directly with his powerful arms.
It was only halfway through when I heard a bang, and the guy fell off the trunk in an instant.
When I looked up, it turned out that Wen Taizi was holding an automatic rifle and aimed at the guy under the tree, and he was about to fire again.
My anxious voice changed, and I said, "Don't shoot!" Don't shoot! ”
This strange thing looks exactly like Zhang Wuren, maybe it has something to do with him! Even something my boss has come up with is possible.
What if this shot goes down and it really kills?
As if she hadn't heard me, Wen Taizi pulled the trigger on the monster again. The crisp sound of the automatic rifle echoed through the forest, and the flame of the gun flickered on and off, breaking the silence of the jungle.
I roared angrily: "Wen Taizi! Stop it! ”
Wen Taizi said quickly: "That's a ghost!" Don't be fooled by it! After he dropped these words, he suddenly turned on the flashlight, and the bright beam of light cut through the darkness like a sharp sword, and swept in all directions.
Together, the originally quiet forest suddenly became a pot of porridge, and countless dragons and ghosts like big monkeys jumped up and down among the trees, and there were at least dozens of them.
And by the beam of the flashlight, I clearly saw that these big monkey-like guys all had a miserable white face, some looked exactly like Zhang Wuren, and there were seven or eight that were completely He Zhonghua's appearance, and I was dazzled and dumbfounded when I saw it for a while.
Ghosts? Could it be the ghost in the ghost?
