Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Sound of Gunfire in the Mountains
I was stunned for a moment, and for a moment I began to doubt the taste of fat people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fat man on the other end of the phone saw that I had not made a sound for so long, and fed me a few times. When I came to my senses, I asked the fat man if he had been played to death. The fat man said don't worry, except that you can't walk on the ground now, everything is fine. But according to that person's mood, he may never contact a man again in his life.
I scolded and told the fat man to look at the dots. Don't really get killed then. Then I asked him how the situation was there.
"The situation is not very promising." The fat man said. "You know, how much is involved in this tomb. Now, no matter how much we hang around here, almost all the people from the Eight Elements have arrived. Now the big guys don't dare to make the first move, for fear that there is something below that they can't guard against. ”
"So what do you do now?" I asked. "I'm in a hurry, and I'll be leaving at noon."
The fat man was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then said, "Then let's do it, you remember to send me all the coordinates along the way." Fat man, Sister Lan and I will go to your side first and take care of the things over there. As for this side, you don't have to worry. As I said just now, although the people of the Eight Elements all want to go down, no one dares to be the first to eat crabs now. Du Baba is waiting. As long as we act fast enough, if we can solve the matter on your side in a month, we may be able to catch up. Speaking of this, the fat man paused, lowered his voice and said, "And what Sister Lan means is that even if we can't catch up with the tomb here, it doesn't matter." We can take what they took out and get it back. ”
I nodded. I didn't want to, but there was no way around it. I'm going to have to get my hands on what is under that tomb. If someone got it before me, then even if I made that person, I have to get it.
"Let's do it first." The fat man said. "It doesn't matter if that gringo knows our plan, let's do it with him openly and honestly, the fat man still doesn't believe it, with the three of us, he can't have a foreign account with him."
"Okay, then it's decided. I'll send you the coordinates along the way, and you follow the coordinates - as soon as possible, I honestly don't know how long it will last. ”
"Don't worry." The fat man said.
I nodded, and went over the signs along the way with the fat man, and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Mike came out of the room with someone.
"Mr. Xiaowei, we're about to go." Mike pouted at the equipment at the door, "Before you go, you see if there's anything missing." If it's less, I'll call someone to complete it while there's still time. ”
"No, I trust Mr. Mack." With the receiver down, I went to put on my gear and get ready to go out. That's when Mike suddenly stopped me.
"Is Mr. Mack okay?"
"Mr. Xiaowei, I'm very sorry." Mike came over and patted me on the shoulder. "If I have time, I'll wait for your friend to come. But I'm really running out of time. There is an old saying in the Middle Ages called long live understanding, and I hope you can understand my situation. ”
Foolish, how can everything be said to be an ancient Chinese saying. I muttered to myself, nodded my head to show that I understood, and then put on my backpack and walked out.
This time, the destination is the Hengduan Mountains. The Hengduan Mountains are located at the junction of the second and first steps of China's topography. It is the general name of a series of north-south parallel mountain ranges in the western part of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces and the eastern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region. The altitude of the mountain range is generally around 4,000 to 5,000 meters. And above 5,000 meters, it's usually a snowy peak. It's still a bit challenging to have a climate. -
Moreover, this operation is mainly composed of foreigners, coupled with the particularity of the equipment. We couldn't even take the train, so the whole crew split into four off-road vehicles and rushed directly to Hengduan Mountain.
It's a bit of a struggle. In the South, the routine is not the hardest way to go. Concrete roads and even mountain roads are the most difficult roads. Even I, a native of the south, couldn't stand the twists and turns of the mountain road. Not to mention those foreigners. Even the driver couldn't stand it halfway through and stopped the car and rushed out and vomited a few times.
The journey to Hengduan Mountain is not so fast. We made it all the way, barely rested, and it took us days. When we got there, except for those mercenaries who were physically fit enough to move things out of the car, me, Tao, and Mike were almost soft into a puddle of mud.
After setting up camp that night, Mike passed the order down. said that these days have been too hard, and tomorrow I will rest in place for a day, and then set off the day after tomorrow. At the same time, a few soldiers were called over and whispered something. Then I saw the soldiers nod, turn and disappear into the night.
After a tiring few days, I felt worse than a hangover. After getting out of the car, I had a quick bite to eat, got into the tent and got ready to sleep. Of course, I remember sending the fat man my current coordinates.
During the day, when I was looking at the map, I also took a closer look. The place we are in now should be the least undulating place in the Hengduan Mountain Range. It has not yet been out of Yunnan. However, judging from the location that He Tao secretly told me, their family's forbidden land should be in Tibet. However, as for why the location was set in Tibet, I also asked He Tao. He Tao also said that he was not very clear, and the probable reason might be to prevent people with ulterior motives from entering. And He Tao also said that a giant mechanism was set up in that place. This mechanism was originally requested by He Tao's family to build a mechanism door in the outer eight elements and let them build it in the mountains.
This is the first time I've heard that He Tao and their family have a connection with the second Wai Baxing in addition to my theft. In fact, I don't know enough about the outer eight lines. And from the beginning to the present, the outer eight elements I have encountered, except for Sister Qing's orchid door, it seems that the other six doors have never been touched again. So I know very little about them. I can't even be sure that they are one of the Eight Elements after I run into them again.
After thinking about all this mess for a while, I started to get confused. But just as I was about to fall asleep, He Tao opened the tent and walked in. I pulled myself together and glanced at him, and I noticed that he was looking at me too.
"Look, not tired enough? Sleep, sleep. He Tao said. Listening to his tone, he didn't seem to be particularly nervous. Although there were still a dozen soldiers armed with AKs or M16s outside to keep vigil.
"You're pretty relaxed." I muttered, turned over to He Tao, and just wanted to talk to him, only to find that he was already asleep.
Okay, you sleep yours, I'll sleep mine.
Turn over and sleep on your own.
When I woke up the next morning, it was almost noon. Mike had motion sickness like us, but he woke up very early. In his words, it is that he has not lived long in the first place, and he cannot waste his life on sleeping. But I don't care about that. The ancients had a cloud, life must be happy, and timely happiness is the right way.
When I came out of the tent, I happened to hear several faint gunshots coming from the mountains in the distance ahead. I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought it was those soldiers who went into the mountains to hunt and add vegetables, so I didn't think much about it. But it didn't take long to hear someone report to Mike that the few people who went in were all gone. Mike seemed a little surprised, took the person's walkie-talkie and adjusted the communication channel, and called five or six times in a row, but there was no response.
I looked at Mike, then at the mist-shrouded peaks in the distance, and thought to myself that I might have been attacked by a wild beast. I didn't say it despite that thought. Now that Mike is outnumbered by me, the situation is extremely unfavorable to me. I need to use some means to consume some people. Only then will we have a chance of winning when Fat Man and Lan come over. At the same time, I don't have to worry about Mike turning against me.
"Probably attacked by a wild beast." Said the tall black man.
Mike frowned and looked at the tall black man, "Haven't you learned how to deal with beasts?" ”
The tall black man nodded, "We learned." But this is the East. Boss, you know, the animals of the East are very powerful. This is very likely to be different from what we usually learn. ”
Mike took the binoculars and looked at the gunshot. I'm sure he can't see anything but the vague mountain, though. He did this just to soothe the depression in his heart.
After looking at it for a while, Mike put down the binoculars and returned them to the tall black man: "Send another team of people in and see if they are dead." We don't have a lot of people now, so we can't lose a few people in vain. ”
The tall black man nodded: "Yes, I'll send someone in." With that, he turned around and walked away. After a while, I saw a small group of four people start heading into the mountains.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Xiaowei. Let you see their stupid side. Mike looked at me apologetically.
"It's nothing, the animals in China are fierce." I shrugged indifferently as he did, "You'll have to be careful when we get in." ”
"Mr. Xiao Wei, don't worry, I will definitely be more careful." Mike walked away.
I'm idle alone. After sending the fat man my coordinates again, he really had nothing to do. I sat on the edge of the camp and stared at the mountains with no peaks in the distance. The descendants of the mountains always have an indescribable affection for the mountains. After staying in the concrete forest for a long time, I unconsciously felt an inexplicable excitement in my heart for this majestic mountain.
I'm going home.
They sat on the edge of the camp, one until the afternoon. During this time, the four-person team returned. But by the time I saw them, three of them were immobile. The only one who could still move, the one who dragged the other three back, died of exhaustion as he approached the camp.
The people who found the team screamed, and the camp immediately exploded. All the people immediately gathered around to give first aid to the three people who were still breathing. But before the first aid kit could be opened, two more died. The vitality that survived in the end was quite tenacious, and he refused to die with a sigh of relief. I was impressed by this for a while.
The only person who survived, after an all-night rescue, the situation finally stabilized. It's just that he is still in a deep coma and can't wake up. We don't know what happened to their team in the mountains through him.
When it got dark, I sat in my tent and had fun. It's a good game to pass the time, but it's a pity that you can't open a plug-in, and it's not fun to play.
Just as I was about to clear the 500th level, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a soldier stood in front of me.
"Something?" I asked.
"Mr. Mack told you to hurry over." The soldier said.
"Where?" I glanced back at He Tao.
"Go see the injured man. He woke up. With that, the soldier turned and went out.
I glanced at He Tao: "When you wake up, you wake up, what do you want me to do?" ”
He Tao put the phone in his pocket and stood up: "Just go and see." ”
To be honest, since the fat man introduced me to the song Chrysanthemum Mountain, I was still a little scared to enter these foreigners' tents at night. In particular, there are so many tents of foreign soldiers.
Once I got to the tent, I saw a medic and Mike standing on either side of the bed. Lying on the bed was the soldier who had come back to life during the day.
"What's wrong?" I asked. "Mr. Mack came to me so late, he didn't ask me to comfort the wounded, right?"
Mike didn't seem to be in the mood to joke, looked at me, and motioned for me to look at the soldier lying on the battlefield bed: "Mr. Xiaowei, I would like to ask you to come over and confirm the extent of his injuries. Also, check if what he said is true. ”
I walked into the tent to the bedside and looked at the soldier in front of me. Suddenly, he frowned: "Mr. Mike, I know you're in a hurry, but you don't have to be in such a hurry, right?" This man is so badly wounded, can he speak now? ”
I noticed that the wounded man was staring at the light bulb above his head. The eyes are not closed or dodged by direct light bulbs. Just look at it directly. Tears were stimulated and kept flowing down the corners of my eyes, but I didn't feel the slightest feeling.
This state is the result of being forcibly woken up from a coma. I wish Mike's men died as many as possible. But it was also a death caused by necessity. I feel a little unbearable to look at this kind of abuse of subordinates.
"Mr. Xiaowei, you better finish your work first." Mike said. "Please, be quick. Because of him...... He was dying. ”
