Chapter 26 opens up another creek path

"Okay, let's stop mentioning him, it's just that Xiaojun and Xiaoyu are too worthless to die, and they didn't even leave a corpse............ Alas! I knew it would be like this, I wouldn't have brought you out, and I ............ blamed for it. Xu Jiandong took a sip of wine and said sullenly.

The thin man listened to Xu Jiandong's words, lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly said, "Brother Xu, I always feel that Xiaojun and they may not be dead............ Maybe like us, we might have gone to some island............. ”

"No, I haven't even seen the shadow of a person, can I still live? Don't talk nonsense there again............! The big man Lao Hu said at this time.

When the thin man heard this, he said, "Alas! I said Comrade Hu, don't believe this, how about I said it at the beginning, I have a hunch, Brother Xu, he is not dead, look at it, how about it, is he back now, and he is drinking with us............ ”

The big man Lao Hu also admitted it for a while, and then said: "You are skillful, you can't be counted, and besides, how can you say that Xiaojun and they are not dead............ ”

The thin man smiled and said, "That night, did you just watch the fireworks and forget to pay attention to something, right?" ”

"Didn't you say that, Xiaojun, they are more than lucky, and now they say that they are still alive............ Which of your boy's words is true? The big man said.

"Yes, I said this, but after I finished saying this, I felt that I said it a little early, and no one wants to slap themselves in the ...............mouth." The thin man said.

Xu Jiandong was inexplicable when he heard it, so he asked the thin man: "Okay, Qiangzi, don't go back and forth for you, just say it if you have something to say, why do you say that Xiaojun and they are not dead............... Let's hear it."

The thin man took a sip of the wine glass and said: "Brother Xu, that night, the crab essence was blown up by the liquefied gas thrown down by the fat man, and the fire of the explosion reflected the entire sea surface red, in that firelight, I only saw our yacht and the crab essence that was blown up, and did not find any speedboats and other water tools, I think if Xiaojun really encountered an accident, at least the speedboat should stay on the sea................" ”

Listening to his words, Xu Jiandong recalled for a while, then nodded and said: "Don't say it, Hadron really has some truth in his analysis, maybe Xiaojun and they are really alive................" ”

After a pause, he said, "But I don't understand a little, if it's really like what you said, why don't you see their shadows, at least you can hear the sound of the speedboat's motor............." ”

The big man Lao Hu continued: "I think so, it is possible that the big crab smashed down with a pincer and shot down the speedboat and people into the water, and when the speedboat sinks, of course you can't see anything." ”

Xu Jiandong nodded again, and said with a sigh: "Maybe, I hope this possibility doesn't happen, I still hope they live well." ”

When the thin man saw that he could not speak to them, he stopped talking, and ate and drank wine by himself.

The big man Lao Hu put down his wine glass and asked Xu Jiandong: "Old Xu, what do you think we should do next?" Do you stay where you are or do you want to find another way out? ”

The eyes of the four people were fixed on Xu Jiandong at the same time.

Xu Jiandong lowered his head and muttered slightly for a while, then said to everyone: "At the moment, we can't go anywhere for the time being, let's stay here for a few more days, if it's not safe, it's the same wherever we go." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Early tomorrow morning, the two of us and I will go to the west to see the situation behind the forest, to see where this bluestone path has been paved, it is best to go directly through the forest, if there is another good place, it is not too late for us to move away, Lao Hu, you have an injury on your leg, which is not conducive to doing intense exercise, so the responsibility of protecting the two ladies naturally falls on your head, and the three of you stay in the camp, and it is also the main task to take care of your home." ”

Everyone felt that what Xu Jiandong said made sense, and they all nodded in agreement.

Xinyu and Xiaoting cleaned up the things on the table, while Xu Jiandong, the big man Lao Hu and the thin man began to sort out their equipment and items.

Xu Jiandong took the half-cut rifle of the big man Lao Hu, looked at it, picked up the half-cut wooden butt on the ground, and looked at it along the broken stubble, and had a plan in his heart, and then took out a transparent glass bottle that was not too big from the military backpack, opened the cap, dipped the gelatinous liquid in the bottle with a branch and evenly coated it on the two broken stubbles of the butt, and then blew it with his mouth, and waited for about a minute or so, then put them together and pressed them hard.

The big man Lao Hu turned his head to look at Xu Jiandong and said, "Old Xu, you just applied all-purpose glue, right?" You have this kind of good thing, why didn't you give it earlier, I used a gun without a butt several times, you know, this rifle without a butt is very difficult to aim and hit the target............ ”

Xu Jiandong smiled slightly after hearing this, and said, "Won't it?" You must be mistaken, your semi-automatic butt was only broken after I was hit by a big bird, so I certainly didn't know that your butt was broken. ”

The thin man fiddled with his things and said to the big man Lao Hu: "Yes, Lao Hu, you can't blame Brother Xu for this, when did the butt of the gun break, he really didn't know ............... at all." ”

"Really? That's really sorry Lao Xu, look at my stinky memory, it's really worse the older I get, I'm sorry......... Hehe! The big man Lao Hu apologized to Xu Dong.

Xu Jiandong put the semi-automatic rifle in his hand against his shoulder and made a aiming and shooting posture outside the tent, then looked at the butt that had just been glued and said: "It's okay, people are not sages, how can you not make a mistake, change it when you know it, are you still a good comrade, you are all friends, don't take this matter to heart." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The semi-automatic rifle that your grandfather left you is of good quality, keep it safe, I think this rifle can be taken to the history museum as a collection." After speaking, he handed the semi-automatic rifle into the hands of the big man Lao Hu.

Glancing at the big man Lao Hu, the thin man then said: "Actually, I see that your marksmanship can be practiced very accurately without the butt of the gun, just take that big worm as an example, isn't it your final shot in the end." ”

"Come on, if it weren't for Lao Xu's new weapon to blow it up half-dead and have no room to fight back, my shot would not have been able to decide the outcome of the battle at all, the credit is not mine alone, you two also have a share." The big man Lao Hu said modestly.

After taking the semi-automatic rifle, the big man Lao Hu stroked the broken part of the gun, and said to Xu Jiandong with a little suspicion: "Hey! I said, Comrade Xu, can you stick this glue to this butt? , don't drop the chain and break it again at a critical time, that will be really troublesome. ”

"It's definitely not okay to use it today, you have to wait twelve hours to reach the highest strength, this is not the ordinary adhesive sold on the market for two yuan a bottle, it is my own super glue, you can rest assured." Xu Jiandong said and opened his backpack.

The big man Lao Hu held a semi-automatic rifle and said regretfully: "Alas! There are no more bullets for a rifle, and a gun without bullets is not even as good as a burning stick. ”

"If you don't have bullets, you can use a machete, and sometimes, knives can be more effective than bullets." The thin man said to the sad big old man.

Xu Jiandong reloaded the special slingshot with steel balls, took out the aluminum box, and took out the only six grenades from it, two for each of the two thin men, and the remaining two for the big man Lao Hu, and in the other aluminum box he took out, there were 30 red firecracker-like things, which seemed to be metallic.

Xu Jiandong took out ten of them and put them on the bunk.

The big man picked up one and looked at it carefully, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't understand what these big firecrackers-like things were for.

"Old Xu, what kind of new weapon are you? How can it look the same as a firecracker? The big man asked Xu Dongdao puzzled.

Xu Jiandong smiled and said: "This kind of thing is called signal thunder, it can also be called sound and light warning thunder, mainly used for night protection, they are laid around the tent at a certain distance, no one is on duty, if someone or monsters and other uninvited guests visit, as long as it is mixed on the wire, you can sound the alarm." ”

The big man Lao Hu picked it up again and looked at it and said to Xu Jiandong: "You have this kind of good thing, why don't you take it out and use it at the beginning?" So much so that we have to take turns keeping vigils. ”

"That's not the same, the principle of employing people and using people, no matter how much this kind of warning signal mine can be used anywhere, it is only suitable for deployment in the open ground, although it can play the role of a sentinel, but you can't count on all the dangerous things." Xu Dong answered the question of the big man Lao Hu.

The signal mine was about 15 centimeters long and 2.5 centimeters in diameter, painted red throughout, and had a small ring at one end, and a steel latch, which was separate from the lower part, as if it had been twisted up later, and at the other end there was a round hole with a screw buckle inside, which seemed to be connected to something else.

Xu Jiandong instructed the big man Lao Hu to hand over the ten 20-centimeter-long iron rods with threads at one end and pointed ends to the big man with them, and asked him to twist the ten iron rods to the bottom of the ten signal mines.

Finally, a thin steel wire was removed from the backpack and a special multi-purpose tool was brought with it.

After everything was ready, Xu Jiandong called the big man Lao Hu, took these signal mines, and walked towards the south of the tent, the big gentle slope, sniping in the direction of the huge strange insects.

While walking, Xu Jiandong said to the big man Lao Hu: "Lao Hu, I and the thin man will set off early tomorrow morning, if it goes well, we should be able to rush back before dark, and leave you a seven-hole machete and those two grenades for self-defense, you already know how to use the grenades, right?" ”。

The big man nodded.

Xu Jiandong then said: "These signal mines are designed by myself, they are mixed fuses, this kind of thunder will not explode and hurt people, just a device that sounds the alarm, and is equipped with a tracer flare in its aluminum alloy cylinder, when an animal or a person enters the tent or something, mixed with steel wire, the fuse ignites the detonating gunpowder in the thunder body, and shoots this small flare into the air, and the tail of the flare is made into a whistle, which can emit a sharp whistling sound at the moment of liftoff. At the same time, it will light up about ten seconds, remember, don't let Xiaoting and Xinyu walk around tomorrow, so as not to stir them up. ”

The big man Lao Hu agreed to come down, followed Xu Jiandong to the south, walked about sixty or seventy steps away, and then stopped.

Xu Jiandong stood a signal thunder on the ground, and nailed it to the ground with only two strikes with a special tool in his hand.

They nailed the warning signal mine to the grass, and looked in the direction, counting the approximate number of steps between the thunder.

After a short while, a special cordon was set up around the tent, three on the south side, three on the east and west sides, and only one on the north side because there was a gate and it was relatively safer to rush to the pond.

Each of the 10 alert mines has a wire tied to each of them, and this method of setting up is very practical, no matter which way you pass by, unless you don't get into it, it will immediately detonate the gunpowder and sound an alarm.

After the defensive warning mines were set up, the two men returned to their tents.

In the tent, Xu Dong and everyone explained the specific matters and precautions and the corresponding handling methods.

Finally, she took out a special six-barreled self-defense device from one of the aluminum joints in her backpack and handed it to Xinyu, and taught her how to use this defensive weapon on the spot.

This is a personal-grade self-defense weapon made of all-metal that can fire six 3 cm long steel spikes in a row, with a length of 20 cm, a width of 6 cm, and a thickness of 3 cm.

There are five control switches, namely the transmitter button, the power lock switch, the single-shot switch, the infrared indicator switch, the loading and unloading switch, etc. There are three kinds of steel nails fired, one is a hollow storage type, that is, there is a deep hole in the head of the nail, which contains dry powder and highly toxic agents, and the throat can be sealed with blood. The second is a solid steel nail, and the tail of the nail is a special elongated hollow type, which can store a certain amount of air to make the flight of the steel nail launched more stable, and the third is an anesthetic type, and the style is similar to the first
