Chapter 5: The Snake Path

"Scratch, Scratch......"

The pistol emitted a flurry of empty sounds.

A black shadow burst out like lightning, and when it was closer, it suddenly jumped up, opened its fangs and bit at Team Chen's neck.

Team Chen's face changed drastically, and he looked at the wild cat that pounced, and his whole body stiffened with fright for a while.

At this moment, Luo Yuan's static suddenly accelerated, and he rushed over with an arrow step, and his shoulder hit the wild cat with a heavy blow. At this time, the wild cat's body was in the air, and it was immediately knocked three or four meters away by him, it rolled a few times and stood up, shook its head, and was obviously a little dizzy.

Luo Yuan didn't give it any time to react, and stepped closer with a knife, a distance of three or four meters, and in an instant, he raised his knife and slashed at the waist of the wild cat.

The chopping knife is thick and easy to chop, although it is not very sharp, but the lethality is not weak at all, just listen to the sound of the card, the spine is cut, the knife goes down, and the whole body is cut in half.

"Wow!"

The wild cat that was cut in half screamed and struggled to stand up, its two forelimbs kept crawling forward, and its internal organs and intestines continued to flow out along half of its body, dragging it to the ground, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

"Bang! Bang! Zhao Qiang reacted and immediately shot again and again.

"Damn brute!"

The wildcat was shot twice in the head, trembling for a moment, and finally stopped struggling.

"Gross!"

Huang Jiahui looked at this extremely bloody scene, her face turned blue and white, and suddenly her stomach rolled, she couldn't hold back anymore, walked to the edge of the grass and began to vomit violently.

Luo Yuan was not very comfortable, his brain rushed over on impulse at that time, and he didn't even have time to think, and he didn't feel a little scared until now.

At this time, his hands kept shaking, and even his body trembled slightly, if he hadn't grabbed the handle of the knife hard, the knife might have slipped off now.

When did you become so brave?

At this time, Wang Fei covered his right cheek, slowly crawled out of the thorns, and said with a frightened face: "Captain, it's too dangerous here." We are seriously underpolice, and a wild cat makes us like this, and I don't know what else we will encounter when we come forward? I think I'm almost there. Those who are missing, it is impossible to find them. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed their intention to retreat.

Luo Yuan's face changed, the worst thing happened, he immediately preemptively said: "I didn't see the corpse, I don't believe that my brother-in-law is dead, at least I have to go to the top of the mountain to have a look!" ”

"There's no place for you to talk here, if you want to die by yourself, don't catch us!" Seeing Luo Yuan who was speaking, Wang Fei suddenly broke out.

Luo Yuan looked at Wang Fei a little stunned, he didn't know why Wang Fei would suddenly lose his temper with himself, he didn't seem to have offended him, right?

There was a wave of anger in his heart, and his words were naturally not very good: "If you are afraid, you can go first, anyway, you are useless along the way?" ”

Luo Yuan's words immediately stimulated Wang Fei's sensitive heart, his face turned red, he took out a pistol, pointed at Luo Yuan and said, "Your mother, do you try it again?" ”

"Don't!" Huang Jiahui exclaimed, she never thought that Wang Fei, who was usually shy, was such a person, and he would pull out a gun to face each other if he didn't agree, which was too impulsive.

"Wang Fei, stop me!" Captain Chen's face sank and he shouted.

Seeing Captain Chen shouting, Wang Fei was suddenly a little scared and hesitated, but his fragile self-esteem still made him hold on, and he blushed and said loudly: "Captain, it's not that I don't listen to you, I want him to apologize to me!" ”

In an instant, Luo Yuan flashed countless thoughts, being pointed at with a gun like this, not afraid is a lie, facing the muzzle of the black hole, Luo Yuan felt that his heart instantly beat faster, the deterrence of the gun for modern people is incomparable to cold weapons, he almost felt that his thinking stopped.

Death is so near, it seems to be at hand.

He almost wanted to beg for mercy and apologize!

But the breath in his heart has always supported him, he can bow his head, but he will never bow his head at gunpoint, this is a humiliation to him.

All his thoughts flashed, and he gradually calmed down and realized that things were not as terrible as he imagined. He didn't believe that Wang Fei, who hadn't lost his mind yet, would dare to shoot in full view.

And there is only a little more than a meter between him and Wang Fei, as long as he moves fast enough and decisive enough, he can even directly cut off his arm when the other party reacts, or even kill him, of course, this is by no means a rational approach, it will only make things worse and worse.

Thinking that he had the ability to fight back, he completely calmed down.

He thought for a moment and said, "If you want me to apologize, you put down the gun first." If it weren't for Captain Chen who saved you just now, I'm afraid you would have died a long time ago, and it's useless to be afraid now. Everything is up to Captain Chen, if Captain Chen says go, I don't have a word! ”

This is a bit clever, not only isolating Wang Fei, but also vaguely nodding to the thing that just saved Captain Chen, so that these policemen will not huddle together.

Captain Chen's face immediately became gloomy, he remembered that he had just survived, if Luo Yuan hadn't saved his life, he would have been lying on the ground by now, one was a life-saving grace, the other could only help, and he was almost killed by him, he naturally leaned towards Luo Yuan, and at the same time he also had a trace of disgust for Wang Fei.

"Wang Fei, I order you, put down the gun, do you hear it!" He snapped.

"Team...... Captain...... I! Wang Fei hesitated.

"Xiao Wang, put down the gun." Zhao Qiang also persuaded him, he also had no good impression of Wang Fei, who had low eyes.

Like the last straw that crushed the camel, Wang Fei glanced at Luo Yuan resentfully, and put down the gun dejectedly.

Luo Yuan didn't look at him, walked up to Team Chen, and said earnestly: "Captain Chen, I was too impulsive just now, I want to apologize to you!" ”

Captain Chen's expression softened slightly, and he said earnestly: "I can understand your feelings, and anyone whose relatives have such a thing will do the same." But it's really dangerous here, and if you can't find it at the top of the mountain, we'll go back, what do you think? ”

This is the effect of risking to save people just now, otherwise, he would never be so easy to speak, and as for apologizing to Wang Feidao, it will naturally be over.

"Good!" Luo Yuan said heavily: "I also know that there is not much hope for Lu Dao, but at least there is still a little hope, and if you don't look for it, there will be no hope." ”

Huang Jiahui also came over to comfort her: "You have nothing to do, Wang Fei just entered the police station, he is a little frizzy and lacks exercise, don't take it to heart!" ”

"It's okay, Sister Hui! How can I be careful? ”

"How does it feel to be held at gunpoint?" Zhao Qiang walked over and grinned.

"It's still a little weak." Luo Yuan smiled bitterly.

Zhao Qiang gave a thumbs up and admired him greatly, he had seen many people who were usually arrogant to death, once someone pointed a gun at the head, he was full of ugliness, kowtowing and begging for mercy was relatively calm, and it was not uncommon to be scared of feces and urine, Xiang Luo Yuan was so bold, he had never seen one.

Compared with the excitement on Luo Yuan's side, no one paid attention to Wang Fei, he stood alone not far away, with anger, resentment, regret, fear, and jealousy in his heart.

After a while, there were many more sounds around, and a large rat was the first to emerge from the grass, and it looked at the crowd vigilantly, and then at the pile of corpses, and seemed a little hesitant.

Team Chen stood up vigilantly: "Let's go, you can't rest here, the smell of blood can easily attract other beasts to come." ”

"Team Chen, I think we've climbed halfway up the hill now, or we shout, if someone hears it, they should respond!" Huang Jiahui suggested.

"I'll wait until here, I'm worried about alarming the beasts nearby." Team Chen said

Although Luo Yuan's physical strength has not yet recovered, he has rested for a while, and he is so tired, the chopping knife he wields keeps moving forward, because of the smell of blood, there are many more animals around, but most of them take the initiative to escape, and none of them take the initiative to attack.

After walking dozens of meters, everyone shouted at the top of their voices, but there was no response.

Luo Yuan was also anxious in his heart, could it be that Chen Weiqiang was really dead.

"Hey, do you see any clothes over there?" At this time, Huang Jiahui suddenly pointed to a thin ribbon dozens of meters to the left in the distance and said.

Luo Yuan perked up, and immediately looked at Huang Jiahui's finger: "It seems to be yes, there is a trace of walking over there?" It looks like they came into the mountains from that side. Captain, why don't we go over there? ”

"Okay, let's go check it out!" Captain Chen said.

Luo Yuan immediately changed directions, and after more than ten minutes, several people came to the location pointed out by Huang Jiahui.

It was a narrow path, and the trees on the path were crooked, as if they had been ravaged by something, and the sleeve of a shirt, which hung right on the branch by the side of the road, was still stained with blood, and the owner of the sleeve was obviously not in a good situation.

"Judging by the freshness of this bloodstain, it shouldn't take more than two days. It is very likely that it was left by Mayor Xia's group! Team Chen said, squatting down and carefully checking the surroundings: "There are still blood stains on the ground, they may have been attacked by wild beasts at that time, in a panic, they must have fled in the direction of Lu down the mountain, let's look for it along the path down the mountain?" ”

Luo Yuan nodded, because there was a ready-made road, the speed of the group was much faster, but they didn't go dozens of meters, but the bloodstains suddenly disappeared, and there was an extra fork next to it that was a foot wide, and the fork was twisted and curved, but the strange thing was that every curvature was very regular, as if it had been accurately measured.

Looking at this regular fork in the road, Luo Yuan suddenly remembered something, and in an instant, a chill rose from the tail vertebrae and spread throughout his body!

"Damn, this can't be a snake road, right?" Zhao Qiang also thought about it, he hurriedly raised his pistol, and said with a wary face: "Such a big snake path, I don't know how big the snake will be?" ”

Luo Yuan saw Wang Fei secretly take a few steps back and stand behind everyone, believing that if he wasn't worried that it would be too dangerous for a person to go down the mountain, he would definitely turn around and run.

"Xiao Luo, you decide, do you want to go and have a look, or go down the mountain directly?" Captain Chen handed over the decision to Luo Yuan.

"It's better to go down the mountain directly, your brother-in-law will definitely be hopeless." Huang Jiahui said next to him, persuading.

Luo Yuan pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Captain Chen, I can go down the mountain and leave immediately, just because my brother-in-law is dead." ”

He paused, then said, "I can go, but you can't. This snake is already so big, if this damn climate doesn't return to normal, it won't be long before it will definitely get bigger, and when the animal on this mountain can't satisfy it, it will go down the mountain to eat people, you are the police of the Gaotang Town Police Station, since you have chosen this profession, you can't escape, and it will be you who will be sent out at that time.

Do you think it's easier to deal with a snake that has eaten and drunk enough and can't even move now, or is it easier to deal with a bigger, more ferocious, hungry snake when the time comes? ”

"How do you know he can't move?" Wang Fei seized the opportunity and immediately asked.

Luo Yuan glanced at him, as if he looked at an idiot again, and said: "Even if a snake is as thick as a bucket, after swallowing four or five people, it will take a few days or even a week to digest, during this period, its movement will be greatly restricted, and it will even be difficult to move, but it is not as dangerous as imagined." ”

After speaking, he looked at Team Chen and waited for him to make a decision.

If the other party gave up, he had no choice but to let the mission fail.

This time he was not well prepared, he couldn't deal with a giant snake by himself, plus he still had a phobia of snakes, I was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to exert the strength of the fifth layer at that time.

Team Chen's expression changed uncertainly, and after a long time, he stared at Luo Yuan and said, "I hope what you said is right, for the sake of the villagers under the mountain, let's go and see!" ”

He still has some sense of justice in his heart, and the other party is right, if such a giant snake is not killed as soon as possible, the village below will be very dangerous. More people will die in Shekou.

In the face of righteousness, even Wang Fei, who was full of fear in his heart, closed his mouth!

As soon as I walked on this snake path, the atmosphere was a little depressed, and looking at the branches around me, I could roughly estimate how powerful this snake was. As long as it is gently swept away, I am afraid that even if it is not dead, it will be half-crippled.

Huang Jiahui followed Luo Yuan closely, not leaving an inch, almost close to his body, obviously feeling safer by his side.

Luo Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, his palms were wet and full of sweat, and the handle of the knife was soaked with sweat, making it look a little slippery! If she knew that he was afraid to die now, I wonder what Lu Dao would think?

Everyone was cautious and nervous all the way, and within a few minutes, the group was already sweating, and their clothes were as if they had been soaked in water.

Half an hour later, the snake path finally came to an end, and in front of it was a bare slope, and from below, you could see dead trees scattered and lodging. It's hard to imagine that in this dense jungle, there is an open field!

Several people immediately fell to the ground, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, there was no doubt that it was the place where the giant snake lived.

"Xiao Wang, you go and take a look, be careful not to alarm it!" Team Chen said in a low voice, he originally wanted to call Luo Yuan, but then he thought about it all the way, basically Luo Yuan, a common person, was helping, and they policemen didn't do anything, and they were embarrassed to let people take risks anymore.

Wang Fei's face turned pale, he looked at the others, and then looked at Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan turned his head as if he noticed it, and glanced at him mockingly.

That look made Wang Fei feel indescribably uncomfortable, and he held his breath in his chest, and he blurted out: "Okay!" ”

As soon as the words came out, he immediately regretted it, but he couldn't swallow the words he had said.

He took out his pistol slowly, and moved his body forward step by step, as if he was on the execution ground. In just a few dozen meters, he walked for more than ten minutes, and after more than ten meters, his legs were even weaker, lying on the ground, like a meat worm, and he didn't dare to move forward anymore.

Team Chen's face immediately darkened.

"What a shame on the police!" Zhao Qiang grinned and said, "I'll go!" ”

Luo Yuan sneered in his heart, Wang Fei dared to pull out a gun at him when he was taunted by him, but in the face of real fear, he couldn't even stand up, even if he had a gun in his hand, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Team Chen nodded, he was completely disappointed in Wang Fei, how could such a person be a policeman, even ordinary people.

Zhao Qiang obviously had been a soldier, he lay on the ground and crawled forward, the speed was not slow at all, and within a few minutes, he had already crawled next to Wang Fei, he picked up Wang Fei's gun, stuffed it into his trouser belt, and continued to crawl forward regardless of him.

After a while, Zhao Qiang came back, and he had always been very arrogant, but his face was as pale as paper at this time!
