Chapter 8: Living and Dying Together: 114. Stealth

Our group arrived overnight in a small cottage in northern Myanmar, which is a mountainous area much more backward than Kokang, and its economic source is mainly primitive cultivation, and the local mountain people grow opium. This little cottage is called Kadi. The scenery of Kadi Village is beautiful and the folk customs are simple. The entire village of Kadi is similar to a clan society, with a respected person serving as the head of the family, and a person trusted by the chief holding important roles within the family. The villagers of Kadi Village belong to the half-soldier and half-civilian, and outsiders want to go up the mountain to find out something, but the villagers are very vigilant, and any unfamiliar faces do not want to sneak into the cottage under their noses. Fortunately, Longchuan made good friends with the people here and brought us into the small cottage. Kadi Village is a typical tropical mountain village with dirt roads. The houses here are framed with bamboo or trees and then covered with thatch. The patriarch here turned out to be a very well-informed person, and he told us that the base was actually a world of mercenaries. Speaking of mercenaries, the patriarch gushes endlessly. The patriarch said that the most effective people in the area were the mercenaries. Mercenaries have a long history in this area, as early as the 16th century, there were people from Europe and the Middle East, who were hired by farm owners to act as protectors of farms, which is the origin of mercenaries. In the 20th century, wars were frequent, especially in the Middle East, and the mercenary profession flourished, most of whom were ex-servicemen, outlaws, and civilians. Most of them are retired Army Corps, as well as Air Force and Marine Corps, and retired Special Forces. I know that the so-called mercenaries are actually a group of professional killers who "live by fighting", and in their consciousness, whoever has money will work for whomever they want. Long Chuan wanted to find out further information about the new base here, such as the number of soldiers, armaments and weapons, ammunition depots, grain depots, and so on. But the people of Carti don't know anything. I thought that since it would be futile to make further inquiries, it would be better to take a short rest and set off immediately.

Shortly after leaving the village, our group entered the primeval forest. This primeval forest is located near the Tropic of Cancer, and according to Longchuan, it is hot and rainy all year round, and the wind blowing from the sea makes this primeval forest rainfall higher than any other region in the world. Due to the unique climate, this primeval forest has been nurtured, and at the same time, it has also given birth to a dead area that makes people talk about tigers. The temperature in the forest is hot, there are locusts, pythons, miasma, etc., swamps can be seen everywhere, the sultry air makes people breathless, sweat flow, but soon evaporate, leaving only a layer of salt. It is said that when the problem is severe, it will make people look at the scene in front of them and scatter, and one will change into two or more in a blur, and then make people confused. During World War II, American GIs suffered a lot. Long Chuan said that if you are too thirsty, there is a plant in this primeval forest, which contains about 80% of the water in the body, which can be used to replenish the lack of water, but it cannot be swallowed, because it contains things that cannot be digested in human gastric juice.

It was almost noon when we came to the end of the path, and there was a cliff with a steep cliff that stood like a miraculous axe between heaven and earth, and suddenly pointed straight into the sky, like a pillar of optimus. On the other side of the cliff is another hill, which is more than ten meters wide from the cliff on this side. At this point, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. I turned my head to look at Aya beside me, who was frowning slightly. She said, "Strange, how can there be wolves here?" ”

We had just taken a few steps forward when we saw the grass in front of us swinging irregularly, and the sound of friction wafting out of it.

Long Chuan was the first to rush forward, and he pulled out the long knife hanging from his waist, and the long knife shone brightly in the sunlight. The others also quickly formed battle formations, standing there motionless, preventing wolves from rushing out from other places.

I looked at their calm demeanor and nodded. It seems that the training for them is still very effective. Aya was about to rush up, but I grabbed her, and I said, "They'll take care of it." "Aya understood what I meant, and the other purpose of this visit was to train the guardians of these temples.

Following in Long Chuan's footsteps, only Kane rushed forward, holding a pistol with a muffler in his hand, and the safety had been opened. At this moment, a black shadow burst out from behind the rock and rushed straight towards Longchuan, who was walking in front. Karn shouted "Be careful" to Ryukawa in front of him, and at the same time the pistol was aimed at the wolf flying in the air and pulled the trigger, and the bullet burst out of the chamber and shot into the wolf's chest. Kane snorted, a smug look on his face. Almost at the same time, a wolf appeared behind Kane, its sharp fangs and claws pressing down on the back of Kane's neck. Kane didn't have time to notice the sudden arrival of the wolf, but a knife flew out of the hand of one of the guardians of the temple in the formation, freeing Kane from the siege. The wolf staggered and struggled a few times before falling, a long knife stuck in its body, blood gushing out, and its fur dyed red. The wolf was lying on the ground, its eyes open, and it seemed to be staring at the sky in the distance.

Kane broke out in a cold sweat. He walked over to the wolf's corpse, straightened its head, and helped it close its eyes. At this moment, two black shadows flew out from behind a large tree, and rushed straight towards Kane, who was squatting in front of the wolf corpse.

As they leaped, another wolf appeared behind the tree, its sharp gaze motionless at all of them.

The wolf's sharp fangs glowed with an eerie cold light, and it looked like it was about to sink into Kane's body. Two more long knives flew out of the formation. The two wolves fell from the air one after the other, almost hitting Kane's back, and he only came to his senses at this time.

The whole body of the newly dead wolf was intact, except for a long knife stuck in his head, and blood kept gushing out.

The wolf that appeared behind the tree, its eyes inadvertently slid a trace of horror, it sniffed the air carefully, its expression changed, it shook its hair, its hind legs bent slightly, and leaped to the ground, straight to Kane, who was facing away from it.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of wolves sprang up from behind the surrounding trees, surrounding all the people.

By this time, Kane had come to his senses, and he magically felt a steel claw that flashed with cold light. The steel claws are forged from stainless steel and are no less sharp than daggers. He turned, roared, and smashed his steel-clawed arm into the wolf's chest and abdomen, and four sharp blades that shimmered with cold light pierced into the wolf's body. As soon as his steel claw was inserted into the wolf's belly, he dragged it horizontally, and the wolf's belly made the steel claw cut into three parts, and the internal organs became several sections.

Kane Ryukawa kicked the wolf over, looked at its eyes that did not close when it was dying, and smiled coldly.
