Chapter 137: The Lost City

Ye Wen leaned against the car window, his hair was tied into a short braid, and his eyes would fall into a long stillness every time he blinked, only a few strands of hair on his face were swinging when the wind blew.

"How did the wound on my back come about?"

She glanced at Kaiming in the next seat, and then moved her eyes out the window, her thin lips moving, "It's not about you." ”

What a difficult woman to communicate with.

The car bumped forward, Ye Wen shrunk up, closed his eyes, didn't know whether he was asleep or awake, maybe he was tired after a vicious battle, his right hand was on the holster on his waist, and the twist of the holster was always open, this kind of awareness of maintaining a fight at any time made people dare not act rashly.

She was 1.65 meters tall, wearing a black sleeveless bodysuit, a pair of loose pants with a corseted waist, and a pair of saw-barred boots on her feet.

"Ye, wake up. ”

When I opened my eyes, I saw a camouflage man's face, with lines of different colors running from the forehead through the bridge of the nose to the chin, and a pair of blue eyes moving from left to right.

"Sean ......"

"Sweetheart, it's time to get up, if you don't leave, we'll miss the rendezvous. He put his helmet over his head and walked out of the tent while chatting with Gail.

After a night of marching and resting for only three hours, his body was making a tired protest, shaking his sore arms twice, putting on a camouflage jacket, and the tactical vest with the bag, ammunition, various gadgets, and bulletproof plates, making it weigh 7.5 kilograms. In the middle of summer in Iraq, this equipment has become the worst enemy, more annoying than those hiding in caves, and lying in medical tents are basically colleagues suffering from heat stroke.

The sun outside the tent made my eyelids hot, and I had to put on a pair of inky goggles. An all-terrain vehicle was parked on the sand, with an exposed steel tube roof, no doors and windows, and four large, coarse-grained wheels protruding from the outside of the vehicle.

Gail and Sean put a canvas bag on the back card, and Rett buckled the safety suit and started the engine.

"Ye, morning, did you sleep well?" Reiter stepped on the accelerator a few times, and the exhaust pipe spit out thick oil smoke, which was complained by Gail and Sean in the back of the car. He seemed to have forgotten that the sun was hanging overhead.

"It's okay, at least I didn't hear you snoring. "It's also possible that exhaustion overshadows that.

Rett straightened his back and said, "Hey, I don't play a symphony every night. ”

"Yes, there are a few days of the month when you don't snore. ”

Ritt touched his forehead and shook his head, and Gail and Sean laughed behind their backs.

"Leitt, let me know on Auntie's day, so that my buddy will prepare a tampon for you. ”

He twisted his head and said loudly, "you, Sean." ”

"Haha......" Gail held the rear of the car with one hand and his heaving belly with the other.

"Gail, have you washed the stinky socks that were used to plug Ret's nostrils last night?"

"Ye ......" Gail's smile froze and quickly squatted in the back of the car.

"Gail, I'll kill you. Leiter unbuckled, jumped out of the car, and chased Gail into the tent, where a clanging sound could be heard.

"They're on fire. Sean stepped into the back seat, leaned over intentionally or unintentionally, and squeezed his shoulders together, "Ye, you are too damaged, you really shouldn't demolish Gail, after all, he is thinking about our sleep quality." ”

"I said for your sake. ”

"Me?"

"The sock that Gail used to plug his nostrils had your name embroidered on it. ”

"Ugh!"

His eyebrows twitched, and he bent over to untie the butterfly rope from his military boots.

As the sun sets in the clouds, the all-terrain vehicles draw parallel lines across the desert, their wheels running over the sand dunes, and the billowing dust and smoke they bring up with the wake rises to a height of three meters.

Reuter held the square plate and glanced at the navigation system in the center console, which was still ten kilometers away from the city of Ramadi.

"Can you make it in time for the rendezvous?" asked Gail as he poked his head out of the back seat, and Sean quickly nibbled on gum next to him.

"Man, take it easy, my handcar is spicy. He stepped on the accelerator, the car rushed to the top of the dune, four wheels in the air, the front of the car tilted up for a while, began to turn down, safety Dai pulled his eyes back to the ridge, when the wheels touched the ground, the car swayed sharply, and held the submachine gun in his hand tightly to prevent it from flying.

At the foot of the hill lay a piece of dead wood and a sheep's skull, and Leiter spun the square disc and the car walked out of a zigzag trajectory, the wheels rolling in the sand, crushing the skull, and grazing the edge of the dead wood.

Looking at the setting sun, a backlit city appeared, with undulating shadows of buildings, and the steam of the horizon below, as if the whole city was suspended in mid-air.

The car drove into the city, and unlike the psychedelic vista, the buildings in the city were in a dilapidated state, full of large holes and bullet holes, a blackened tank parked on the side of the road, the iron sheet of the turret turned out, it was a hole made by the anti-armor*.

Walking around the city, the square was empty.

"They don't have a party to welcome us, so why don't they even see the person who greets us?" Sean's gaze fell on a headless statue, his head showing out on the edge of the road as the car turned, his face covered with bullet holes and cracks.

"Are we late?"

Gail looked at his watch, "No, there are still five minutes to get to the appointed time." ”

"I knew I could catch up. "But, that's weird, why don't they even have a sentry?"

Gale glanced around at the empty city, frowned, and said, "Everyone be on alert. ”

Everyone raised their guns and looked at both sides of the road.

A crow flew overhead and landed in a building in the distance, followed by two more at the same time.

"There's a situation over there. ”

"Ye, what's wrong?" they looked left and right, but they didn't notice anything special about that building.

"Parking. "Draw the pistol, point it to the sky, and bam.

The sound of gunfire echoed over the city, far away, and everyone jumped out of the car and stared into the distance, when suddenly, dense crows poured out from the windows and windows of the building, hovering back and forth, croaking and croaking.

Seeing the crows flying all over the sky, everyone was stunned.

Rett tilted his head and said, "We disturbed their party." ”

"There's weirdness in that house. Gale waved his hand and told the team to split into pairs, avoiding the middle of the road and walking along both sides towards the building.

Walking through the deep alleys of street corners, the gun in his hand constantly changing direction, keeping his eyes on corners, bunkers, and any place where people can hide, with the cooperation of his teammates, the target building appears in front of him.

It was a white three-story building with potholes and broken windows. Climbing over a two-metre-high fence, the wind shifts, bringing a fishy smell.

In the courtyard were two sparsely foliage trees, the skin of which was crisscrossed with deep lines, and a motorcycle parked in the corner, the metal parts were rusty and yellow, and the tires were flattened against the mud.

After making sure it was safe, he gestured to Sean, who was lying on the wall, and he and two other companions jumped down.

The group approached quietly, looking into the building by the window, the stench rushing into their nostrils, and in the darkness, a pair of bloody claws greeted them.

The body retracted sharply, its claws swept in front of its eyes, and a crow flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

"Aren't you hurt, are you?" asked Sean, who was lurking behind him.

"It's fine. ”

Turning his head, he showed a surprised expression, "Ye, your face is bleeding." ”

Touching the moist eye sockets, there was red blood on the fingertips.

Looking up, the crow had a bloodshot eyeball in its claws.

"That's not mine. "I don't feel a trace of pain, and my vision is still three-dimensional.

Shine a flashlight into the window, the floor of more than 200 square meters is full of corpses, the corpses are dressed in American military uniforms, their faces are all pecked, revealing white bones, there are only two holes left in the eye sockets, staggered vertical and horizontal stacked three layers, in the pile of corpses, a crow spreads its wings, competing for the eyeball in the mouth of another crow, and the blue pupil of the eyeball reflects the halo in the shaking.

The four of them stood at the window in a daze, Sean turned his back and vomited, and Raytt's eyes widened, "Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"

Gail frowned deeply and remained silent.

bang

Gatet fell to the ground, clutching his big feet and howling, red blood running from his fingers and spreading on the ground.

A man in a turban appeared in the courtyard, a pistol slamming.

Bullets burst through the wind and flew past his cheeks.

The three of them lay down for the first time, Sean lay on the vomit and fired at each other, the submachine gun shot over, and the man spurted three columns of blood from his back, "Oh ......" fell to the ground and convulsed a few times, rolling his eyes.

Just as he was about to check on Gate's injuries, three more men rushed in through the main entrance, the AK in his hand spat fire at the same time, and a beam of dust jumped up from the mud in front of him, and he pulled out a pistol to knock down the person on the far left, and the other two were dealt with by Sean and Gail.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the paddock.

"Leaf, cover in the back. Sean come with me. Gail got up and helped Getter up with Sean, and the four of them hid around the corner of the building.

Leitt's left foot was red with blood, and there was a bloody hole in the back of his thigh, and he kept screaming. "Ye, help hold it down. Gail took a small bandage from his bag and tied it over his wound.

Blood flowed between the fingers, with a stream of warmth, "The bullet broke the arteries and remained in the thighs." "If the bleeding doesn't stop right away, Leiter will die soon.

"Leave it to me. Gail said, a circle of bandages tightly wrapped around the wound.

"The enemy is coming. Sean, crouched in the corner, shouted, and the machine gun clicked and fired, slamming into the courtyard door.

The wound was bandaged, and Reitt quieted down, his eyes half-open and half-closed, perhaps due to tiredness or excessive blood loss.

Six or seven bodies fell at the door, and the Arabs stopped charging and hid on both sides of the doorway.

Gail untied Leitt's backpack, took out the small drone from it, and operated the remote control, the four rotors of the drone whirred and rotated, slowly rising to a high altitude. Gail looked at the picture that came back, and his brows arched into a figure of eight, "Man, we're annoyed by this encounter." ”

More than 50 men gathered outside the wall, armed with AK guns and rocket launchers, and more people poured out of the surrounding houses and streets, rushing over with guns to reinforce them.
