Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Shadow in the Rain
The figures were fluttering, sometimes appearing, sometimes disappearing in the rain curtain, and at first glance they knew bad intentions, as if they were watching us carefully, waiting for an opportunity to move. This ghostly shadow standing behind the rain curtain makes people shudder.
What's going on, so many people suddenly appear here?
The first thought that came to my mind was what I had speculated before: there were people in the village who were secretly hindering us, and now they had finally done it. These people might want to intercept us here.
It's a mess, damn it, there's a crazy horse on one side, and a big team of interceptors on the other, dogs. This time the fuck is dead.
I took a cursory look, and there were about seven people here, damn it, I don't know what they were trying to do, it looks like this is an ambush here.
I wiped my face and wiped the rain away, but it was so heavy that it was still all over my eyelids, and the figures were still blurry and couldn't see clearly, and I didn't know what weapons they were carrying.
I couldn't see the expression on the horse's face, and I kept my distance from him, and he paused, then suddenly rushed towards one of the shadows.
I was startled at first, but then I understood what he thought: I'm cāo, he thought these figures were those people.
In this environment, no one can calmly set up an ambush or intercept others, so instead of waiting for the other party to understand, it is better to rush over, so many people in such a chaotic environment, as long as there is a mess, they will admit that I and my own people are wrong, and he has a chance to take advantage of it.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for me, and I can't control it that much, so I immediately ran after the horses, and they surrounded me, and as soon as the horses clashed with them, there would definitely be a gap, and I could take the opportunity to escape.
The canopy can't go back, if these people are already here, then I don't know what the situation of Ah Gui and the stuffy oil bottle is, after all, no matter how good the stuffy oil bottle and the fat man are, one person and one shot will be hung up, not to mention that there is also Ah Gui and they are dragged down.
Running on the slippery and uneven rocky beach was like acrobatics, and I ran a few meters and my knees were broken, and I followed the horse far away to one of the shadows, because the distance changed, and all the shadows around me were unrecognizable, and I couldn't make out what they were doing. Panma rushed straight towards the shadow, and the knife in his hand cut through the rain curtain, and he couldn't tell that it was an eighty-year-old man.
Strangely, the shadow remained unmoved, seemingly unconcerned by the onslaught of the horse. In less than ten seconds we rushed to the shadow, and the Father of the Horse did not cut the blade of the sword, but stopped for a moment, and then he suddenly let out a scream, and the knife fell to the ground. He began to staggered backwards, then tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
I looked around and saw the shadow's true face: it was a standing skeleton. Creepy is that the skeleton is still wearing a military uniform and armed belt that has rotted into black stripes, and carrying a rusty submachine gun.
I immediately took a step back with my scalp, and my heart said Damn, what the hell is this! Could it be that the dead people really crawled out of the water!
But my mental capacity was much better than that of a horse, and when a rain fell, I saw the skull's skull swaying in the wind, like a lantern, as if it were hanging on my face.
When I looked closely, I saw that the skeleton was made of tree branches, and there was a branch shelf behind it.
Damn, how could there be dead people here, did they find the bodies at the bottom of the lake? I took a breath and took a closer look at the skeleton, and sure enough, it was not bad, those clothes and armed belts that were corroded by water, this must be a soldier. Looks like I'm not wrong.
However, when I looked at the appearance of this skeleton standing here, I felt weird and abnormal, and cursed secretly, what is this? Scare?
Daddy was so frightened that when I looked back, I couldn't see where he was, and I thought to myself that this was a fat man's prank?
I immediately rushed back to the mule, but I still didn't see Daddy Panma, and I had a terrible headache, and I walked over to the other shadows, and found that they were all the same dead people, and I could find seven skeletons in total, and I couldn't be sure if there were any other ones. The madman was nowhere to be seen, and seemed to be in hiding.
With such a heavy rain, I couldn't go to find Panma, so I planned to meet Ah Gui first and tell them that there were other people here. The mules seemed to be afraid of the dead men, and they did not move, so I tied them to the stones, and walked around the dead men to the canopy before. The canopy had obviously been reinforced, and it had survived the rain, so I rushed in, only to hear the silence all around me, and looked around to see that they were not inside.
I cursed again, and said in my heart that it was raining so hard, could they still be in the water? Or something fucking happened. I saw a large number of things piled up in the canopy, all of which were salvaged from underwater, and in the two weeks that I was away, the fat man and the stuffy oil bottle were very fruitful.
I saw kettles, rifles, pistols, binoculars, some daggers, machetes, all of which were armed at the time, and I can imagine the atmosphere of war here. In addition, there are a lot of daily necessities, and even biscuit boxes, which are very detailed and have everything, probably found from some large salvage items.
Thinking that I had nothing to defend myself against, I picked up a Type 56 triangular bayonet of the time, which was a very famous bayonet. At that time, bayonets were not used much, after all, it was the last 80s, the firepower of individual weapons was very powerful, and bayonets were generally only used when performing special tasks, and the Vietnamese would not fight with their opponents with bayonets in jungle warfare.
Because of the material itself, the bayonet did not rot very badly, and I heard that this kind of bayonet was usually fed with poison, so I was also very careful and held it with my backhand. I wondered what to do, damn it, the main thing was that it was raining so hard that I couldn't hear it, and I couldn't see it clearly.
Thinking that his goal in the canopy was too big, he couldn't get the horses in, so he rushed into the rain again and ran to the lake to see if Agui and the others were there. After going back and forth a few times, I suddenly saw a man dragging a raft to the shore on the beach.
I rushed over and found that the man was Ah Gui, with a thin back dragging the raft to the shore alone, and when I appeared in front of him, he saw me and froze for a moment, his face was frighteningly pale. "Why are you alone? What about them? I asked.
Agui stood in the lake in a daze, looking a little sluggish, he just stared at me like this, I asked a second time, but he still didn't respond.
I looked at those rafts, thinking that Agui had just come back from the lake, and said to me, sure enough, these people are fucking crazy, and such a heavy rain is still fishing. At this time, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, why did Agui come back with the raft? He should have waited for them on the lake, otherwise it would be very dangerous to swim in the heavy rain, not to mention that the water level had risen so much, and Ah Gui's expression was very wrong.
I approached Ah Gui and wanted to ask again, the closer I got, the more I realized that something was wrong, Ah Gui's expression was extremely dull, as if he had experienced something that made him extremely stimulated, and his whole person was in a state of leaving his soul. I slapped him in the face and yelled, "What's wrong?" He reacted immediately, and then suddenly burst into tears and cried: "They...... They're all dead! ”
