"Captain, you've hit something, you can come and take a look." The voice of the tracking expert sounded over the radio, and the captain agreed, glancing at his black adjutant, and saying, "Let's go, let's see." ”

In the cemetery behind the village, the tracker was squatting on a grassy field, and he had cleared the nearby turf, revealing footprints. The footprints stretched deep into the cemetery, behind which was a forest, and beyond that, a series of mountains.

"How?" Rendezvous with the tracking specialist, the captain asked.

Pointing to the woods behind the cemetery, the tracking expert said, "I found footprints in this meadow, which looked messy, and they were heading towards the back of the cemetery. It is worth mentioning that most of these footprints appear to belong to wild beasts, but one group is owned by humans. Judging by the size of the footprints, it should be a twelve or thirteen-year-old child who will not weigh more than 25 kilograms. I suspect it's a survivor from the village, who might be able to tell us what's going on here. ”

The captain called over to the signal soldier and said, "Send a message to the headquarters, send the coordinates where we are, and then send it every 20 minutes." ”

"Alright, boys. Get moving, open your insurance, and be ready for battle. I want everyone to come together and go back together. The captain shouted, then said to the tracking specialist, "Lead the way." ”

The team quickly made their way through the cemetery and into the woods at the foot of the mountain. The light in the woods was dim, it was cloudy today, there was no sunlight in the first place, and the trees in this forest were full of foliage, and the light in the woods was even darker. As we walked, it started to rain, the air in the woods became damp, the rain soaked the dirt, and it was more difficult to track. Even this trained tracking expert could no longer find clues as quickly as he had done before.

The pace of the advance slowed down, and it was only by noon that they were out of the woods. Tracking experts on an exposed rock found a set of footprints, fortunately it didn't rain much in the morning, otherwise they would have been washed away, and now there are faint traces left. The footprints indicate that the survivors of the village entered the mountains.

The team was resting nearby, and the captain was also looking at the group of footprints, and his black lieutenant whispered, "Chief, I think it's better to abort the mission and let the boss find another way." We are only a few people, and the supplies we bring are not enough, so I am afraid that it will be dangerous to rush into the mountains. ”

The captain nodded, called the communications officer, and asked him to report the situation to headquarters. Moments later, a message came from HQ asking them to go deeper and rescue the survivor. The deadline is two days, and if no one can be found within two days, the team can immediately retreat. This is obviously counting the supply of the team, and with the food and water they carry, they can be in the field for three to four days. With a little control, the round-trip time is quite sufficient.

At 1 p.m., the team continued to set off. Once in the mountains, the air becomes dry and the traces of survivors become clearer. It's just that these footprints are always mixed with the marks left by wild beasts, and judging from the size of the footprints and the span between the two footprints, these beasts are not small in size and weigh a lot, and they are obviously very dangerous things. To the surprise of the tracking experts, the traces left by the survivors did not disappear because of the presence of these beasts, and it seemed that they were either mixed with these beasts or walked the path of the beasts.

Neither of these is puzzling, why is a twelve or thirteen-year-old child walking with a dangerous beast not being eaten, and if it is the latter, then why should he follow the trail left by the beast?

Perhaps the answer can only be known to the survivors.

The march in the mountains is boring, with the team stopping and stopping, following the clues as they go deeper. Sometimes they rest at the stream, sometimes only in the shade of the mountain. Soon night fell, and the captain chose a high ground as a temporary camp, and the soldiers inserted sensors around the high ground to set up a defensive line. A few soldiers lit a flame, set the marching pan on the fire, and poured in quick food, plus water, and soon a pot of beef stew was ready to be enjoyed.

Each person was given a bowl of broth with a rich meaty aroma, and it tasted full of flavor, but the taste of artificial flavors was too obvious. But being in the wild, they can't be picky. What's more, as a soldier, as long as you can fill your stomach, it is enough, and no one will plan whether the food is natural and delicious.

After dinner, the captain wiped his gun, and the adjutant came over, sat down and said, "This is unusual, head." ”

"I know."

The captain, of course, knew how dangerous it was for a survivor, a child who was not yet an adult, to go into the mountains alone. In this vast and unknown region, no one knows what will happen. Even these well-armed soldiers were reluctant to enter the mountains easily. But why didn't that kid escape from the village and go to another town a few kilometers away, and go into the uninhabited mountains?

The incident itself is full of suspicions.

Plus those beasts, and the tracking experts can't tell what they are. All he knew was that, judging by the marks left by the beasts, they had humanoid forelimbs and hind legs like ploughing oxen. Such a beast had never been seen before, and even if there were many more mutant creatures on the surface after the Battle of Daybreak, none of them matched the description of the tracking experts.

A group of unknown beasts, a child of twelve or thirteen, these have put too many unknowable cloaks on their mission. What puzzled the captain even more was the decision of the headquarters, why did they insist on tracking down the survivors?

"Anyway, let's find another day. If it doesn't work out tomorrow, we'll leave this hellish place tomorrow evening. The captain said.

The black adjutant shrugged, and that was all there was to it.

At the same time, soldiers on a camouflage rock below the heights were napping. He's not a rookie anymore. sub, so even if you sleep, it's just a light sleep. When the pocket brain on his wrist vibrate, the soldier immediately woke up. The brain screen shows that there are several sensors with signals fed back. Within the area set by the sensor, an alarm will be given when a creature weighs more than the set value.

The soldier immediately reported the situation and trotted to the location of the alarm sensors with his gun in hand. When he ducked behind a boulder and poked his head out to look. I saw that under the bleak moonlight, a pair of red eyes were staring at him. The soldier was startled, his eyes were so calm, not at all like the eyes of a wild beast, and the crooked head and hind legs like a ploughing ox all pointed to the fact that it was a wild beast.

Then the beast lunged at the soldier, its movements so vigorous and powerful that its body made a muffled sound of breaking through the air as it advanced. The soldier immediately raised his gun and fired, and the crisp sound of gunfire tore through the silence of the night. The captain and the adjutant next to him, who were wiping their guns on the high ground, immediately jumped up, and when they looked at the gunshot, they faintly saw a black shadow pounce on the soldier, followed by the soldier's shout, and the gunfire stopped.

"Hurry up, go over and see what's going on." The captain shouted, having rushed down the ground with his gun in his hand, and opened fire on the beast.

The beast quickly dragged the soldier's leg away, and the soldier's cry was heard along the way. By the time the captain pounced on the accident site, the beast had already left, and only the soldier's fallen brain still sounded the alarm of the sensor. What made the captain shudder was that from beginning to end, even if he was shot, the beast did not make any sound.

The captain and the black lieutenant looked at each other.

The next day, the captain gathered his team on the high ground and said, "That unlucky man Robin has been taken away, and I don't know if he is dead or alive." Judging by the speed of the beast, I think it's dangerous and intelligent. As you can imagine, there will not be only one such beast. I think it would be quite dangerous to rescue Robin, and it is not within the scope of our mission, and headquarters may not allow us to do so. So if we want to go to the rescue, we have to do it at our own risk. ”

"Now, then, I need to know what you think, and I'll vote on it. Those who agree to rescue our companions, put their hands up. ”

After the captain finished speaking, he raised his hand: "I promised to find a woman for that kid, and I will not give up on him until this promise is fulfilled." ”

A large area was raised, and only three or so soldiers did not raise their hands. The captain called the men out and said, "Since you don't want to go, then I won't force it." Go back to the village and wait for our news, and if we don't come back within three days, you can go back to the headquarters on your own. ”

After the group left, the captain led the team out of the highlands, and with the help of tracking experts, they eventually came to a cave. It is a cave located at the foot of a high mountain, and there is no disguise, and the black entrance of the cave seems to lead to the gate of hell. Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can feel a cold wind blowing inside, which means that the cave is large and deep, and there is air flowing wherever it leads.

The team entered the cave, which was flat at first, but gradually began to slope downward. The captain was already certain that this was not a natural cave, but a tunnel dug out by man. Because the tunnel goes straight and the last thing that exists in nature is a straight line!

"It's a bit like you're going to hell." The black adjutant whispered.

The captain did not answer, replacing words with actions. They had put on their tactical helmets, and the flashlights on the helmets shot out pillars of light, illuminating their path. After walking like this for two hours, a gate blocked the way. It was a steel gate, and the armor up to 30 centimeters wide told the soldiers that this thing could not be opened by human power. Fortunately, the steel gate opened a passageway, and a passage was faintly visible inside. As for where it leads, it is unknown.

"Hell, this is an underground base, how did we not know there was such a base in the mountains?" The captain called the signal corps: "Can you contact the headquarters?" ”

The communications soldier shook his head and said, "No, we are too far from the ground, and there is no signal here." ”
