Chapter 8: Living and Dying Together: 116, The Phantom of the Mountains and Forests
It was getting late, the woods were beginning to cover with a layer of gray color, and we walked on the gradually wet earth. The soft soil makes you feel like your feet are starting to sink. Long Chuan walked at the front of the line with the captives. The captive was walking, when suddenly he fell down. Long Chuan was startled and was about to step forward to grab the captive in front of him, but half of the man's body had already sunk into the dirt.
"Oops! It's a swamp! Kane in the back exclaimed. The upper body of the captive in front of him also sank rapidly, and the mud quickly flooded his chest, and soon it flooded his neck, drowning his head. Then, he drowned his raised hands until they were gone.
We didn't dare to go any further. Everyone is already aware of their feet, and there is also a feeling of floating and not working. Everyone didn't know how big the area ahead was, and they were worried that if they went any further, they would end up like the captive. We slowly retreated. As soon as Kane exited the swamp, he said indignantly, "We were fooled, that guy had intentions. He's going to bury us all in this swamp! ”
Long Chuan raised his head to discern the direction and said, "But this is indeed the closest distance to the new base, if you bypass this area, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the new base tonight." ”
Aya smiled, "It's easy, with me and my father here, it's not difficult for us." "Aya's solution was simple, just make a few rafts and slide across the swamp.
I think that since there is such a natural barrier here, the new base will not be so tightly defended here, and the people who defend it will not be too vigilant. I agreed to Aya's plan and had everyone make two rafts. Once everyone was on the raft, Aya and I used our spiritual power to push the raft and glide forward in the night.
After the raft stopped in front of a hillside, I took a few breaths of air, sniffed out that the soil was running out of moisture, and let everyone get off the raft. After getting off the raft, we continued on our way, and by this time, the soil under our feet was dry, and there was no silt here, but solid ground. As we walked along the solid ground, we suddenly saw a faint flow of light in front of us, as if the moonlight reflected the reflection of the river.
Our group was overjoyed, and we were about to speed up our pace and move forward, when Long Chuan, who was walking in the front, suddenly found a white shadow. I saw this shadow standing motionless in front of a tree. Long Chuan immediately stopped his pace and pulled out the pistol with the silencer tube installed. The white shadow noticed Ryukawa's movement and quickly flashed behind the tree. Long Chuan was suspicious in his heart, and slowly stepped forward, pointing the pistol in his hand behind the tree. The white shadow moved unusually quickly, just a flash, and then flashed behind another tree. Long Chuan decided that this was someone from the new base, and the pistol was pointed behind the tree over there. The white shadow flickered again, and flashed into the back bushes. As soon as the white shadow flashed into the bushes, it immediately stopped moving.
In the flickering white shadow, I saw the white shadow with long black hair. The long jet-black hair proved that she was a woman, but the speed at which she dodged proved that she was professionally trained. I looked at the white shadow flashing into the bushes and smiled inwardly.
Long Chuan slowly walked into the bushes, and when he saw that the white shadow seemed to have no weapons, he was not worried that the white shadow would attack him. Long Chuan thought that the white shadow must not be hiding in one place, it should move slowly somewhere in the bushes. That white shadow is very striking in the gray night, as long as you pay attention, it is not difficult to find. Long Chuan searched through the bushes and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, which seemed to be the kind of body fragrance on a woman's body. Long Chuan immediately realized that the white shadow was a woman. He followed the scent forward, he chased it quickly, the scent grew stronger and stronger, and soon the white shadow appeared in front of him. But the white shadow flickered and disappeared. Long Chuan continued to chase, he turned left and right in the bushes, and the smell always pulled him. Long Chuan's speed was getting faster and faster, and the fragrance seemed to be getting closer and closer, as if it was right in front of him, but he could never see the white shadow again. Is he wondering if he should give up, or should he continue to chase after him?
At this point, everyone followed. Long Chuan looked at me and said regretfully, "That's a woman, it's a pity that I didn't see her face." She must have something to do with the base. ”
I nodded, "Leave her alone, let's move on." ”
As soon as Long Chuan looked up, he realized that in the process of preoccupying the white shadow, he had unconsciously bypassed all defenses and arrived near the new base.
Long Chuan pointed to the small forest not far away and said, "Through the forest in front, you will arrive at the new base." ”
I think that since it is on the edge of the new base, the small woods must be unusually well guarded. For ordinary people, it is almost a Longtan tiger's den.
I told Aya to go to the only access to the front of the new base first to guard it, and only let people in, not let people out. She could use any means, but not into the new base. The new base is reserved for the Guardians of the Temple. I had Ryukawa lead the temple's guardians forward from the woods, and I guarded behind them.
Ryukawa divided the temple's guardians into two teams, one each with him and Kane, and the two teams alternated cover. After Longchuan's team entered the woods first, he divided his team into groups of two, each with each other's horns. After Longchuan's team entered the woods, they immediately found a minefield, which was full of all kinds of mines. But the guardians of the temple, who were already overwhelmed, quickly found a safe passage in the minefield, allowing Kane's group to quickly enter the woods.
At this time, the sky was dark, the woods were gloomy, and the mercenaries of the two bases were patrolling inside with guns, and at this time, the bushes moved, and the guardians of the two temples came out of it, and two throwing knives flew out, hitting the mercenaries at the vital point. But when the guardians of the two temples were about to flash into the bushes, a gun barrel was revealed from behind a tree not far away, which was the sniper who was basically hidden, and when the sniper was about to shoot, the knife flashed behind him, his neck was crooked, and he closed his eyes.
The Guardian Warriors of both temples didn't even look at it, they just moved slowly forward through the trees. When they saw another group of mercenaries from the base appear in front of them, the two looked at each other and nodded, and quickly hid behind the two big trees on the side.
