Chapter 14: Attacked
"Really, why should we suffer such a sin!" I've lost track of how many times I've heard Talia complain about the same thing.
"You should ask your father, it was his old man who forced us to hurry at this time." Chen Zaihai replied loudly.
"Wait! What's going on with Daddy! "I seem to have heard something, and I can't pretend I didn't hear it.
Chen Zaihai immediately turned Lian to me and shouted, "Didn't I tell you? Talia is Ivan's daughter! ”
I immediately confirmed with Talia on the side, and in the confusion I seemed to see her nod her head widely.
If it weren't for that, I'd have asked them what was going on, but I felt like I'd be suffocating to death if we kept talking like this.
Our clothes were all wet, and from head to toe, everyone looked like water ghosts who had just been fished out of the river. And the culprit for all of this is above our heads.
The rain was still falling, and it was going on and on, and the rain mixed with the cold wind was pumping my face. Walking in front of me were Chen Zaihai and Taria, who held the back of Chen Jaehai's raincoat tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, she would be blown away by the wind
I'm not in a position to laugh at her now, and I've done my best just to keep balance in such a thunderstorm and gale.
The surrounding trees are like decorations, and they don't feel that they have the effect of protecting from the wind and rain at all.
But there is another possibility, if we don't have these trees, we will really be blown away, except for Chen Zaihai, no one should be interested in doing this kind of experiment, I think so.
The wind staggered our ranks, and I tried to cover myself with a military raincoat, but in a rain of this magnitude, my struggles were as pointless as a child's play.
The biting cold wind mixed with the icy rain poured into my neck, mouth and nose, and because of the speed, our team was completely stretched into a long line. Ivan led a part of the engineering soldiers to the front, while I, Talia and Chen Zaihai walked in the middle of the team, and the geological team with the heaviest load was completely left behind.
Since coming here, thunderstorms have become a daily occurrence for us, with lightning and thunder always two to three days a week. Because of the first two accidents, people were panicked for a while, and whenever there was thunder, everyone was like a great enemy, for fear that the next one would be themselves.
Strangely, we haven't had any accidents since the last time our supplies were chopped up, and they're no different from ordinary thunderstorms, except for the usual frequency. I don't know why, but it's always a good thing.
There are also unknown enemies lurking in the shadows, and at this time, more is better than less, and it seems that God has begun to side with us recently.
Even in such an environment, Ivan's tall figure is clearly visible, and Ivan, dressed in a black raincoat, is simply a natural weather vane in a torrential rain.
The wind seemed to have no effect on Ivan's solid body at all, and Ivan, like a perverted heavy armored car, went on a rampage in the rain.
At first, I didn't have a good impression of this stout and unreasonable Soviet man, and I always thought that this person was too old-fashioned to do anything, and he didn't know what to do.
Now it seems that Ivan is just not very good at communicating with people, no matter what he does, he is a leader, and he never puts on a stinky fart like I am a leader.
I only have envy of such a physique, and Wang Weiguo in the back finally got rid of the situation of being carried by two small soldiers, and now Wang Weiguo is being carried by three small soldiers, and he himself is very helpless, and he feels very ashamed, but the physical problem is congenital. Relying only on himself will definitely be blown into the sky, this cognition must be well understood by him.
And the poor geological team is further behind the team, because the rain is so heavy, the visibility is only a dozen meters, and I can't see it from my current position.
I don't know if it is because of the phenomenon of landmines, the strong electromagnetic interference has eased before.
Thanks to this, yesterday we actually received a suspected task force distress signal radio waves, the location is about northwest of the abandoned Japanese outpost, the distance cannot be determined, after all, we are not a radar, can guess the general direction is already a surprise.
After a morning of discussion, Ivan decided to go with the whole team to find the task force. Unexpectedly, we were doused by this sudden thunderstorm just a few hours after we set off, which was unexpected.
"Old Su!" Chen Zaihai in front shouted.
"What?"
"How long did you think we've been here?"
"I haven't calculated carefully, so many strange things have happened, who is still in the mood to stay for a few days!" I replied.
"I haven't counted it, it's not short anyway, right?"
"It's not short, isn't it what you want to say?" My eyes are starting to get a little blurry, walking in such weather is very draining my physical strength, and I don't want to use the little physical strength I have left to talk to Chen Zaihai.
"I was just thinking, we've been here for so long, and I haven't seen any other animals except for some rabbits hunting some time ago. Do you think there will be bears, snakes, or other beasts here? Chen Zaihai asked.
"How do I know, if there is, I don't want to bump into it. Why are you kid asking this? "I'm getting a little impatient.
"Don't you know, when I was studying in the Soviet Union, I was lucky enough to eat snake meat once. Eh, you haven't eaten it, it's delicious. If there's a snake here, I'll catch one for you, and let you taste it." ”
I glanced at Chen Zaihai disdainfully, too lazy to take care of him anymore.
"Hey! Don't believe it, don't you? It's true! Talia, you can say something too. Old Su, he doesn't believe me. Chen Zaihai still did not give up.
"Yes, yes, you've eaten snakes. I remember you didn't come to class for three days after eating that day. Su Zhenpeng, I can tell you, if you want to get out of this woodland alive, don't eat anything he gives you. Talia behind Chen Zaihai said weakly.
Compared to the meticulous and impersonal Ivan (which I have the impression that most Soviets have), Talia is more approachable, and with the fact that she is a classmate of Chen Zaihai, we easily get to know each other.
Although I said a lot of nonsense along the way, thanks to Chen Zaihai's blessing, I regained some spirits. Maybe he's been talking to me just to keep me from going into shock, and he's been trying to distract me.
I looked down at my watch, and before I knew it, I had been gone all afternoon. The thunderstorm on his head has gradually decreased, and Ivan, who is at the forefront, realizes that we can take advantage of this opportunity to rest in place.
Rubbing my almost unconscious feet, I casually sat down against a tree. The socks are all torn, and the feet inside should be full of blisters. After years of field weather monitoring, my feet have grown a thick layer of calluses, and I thought that I would never have blisters again in my life, but it seems that I was too naïve.
Suddenly, suddenly! Just as I was about to fall asleep leaning against the tree, a series of rapid gunshots reached my ears. I was startled, the sound was coming from the direction of the geological team behind!
Without superfluous words, Ivan was the first to rush over with two squads of engineers. I, Chen Zaihai, and Talia also hurried over.
The team behind us was already in disarray, and when we rushed to the scene in disarray, we were stunned by what we saw
"Don't you want to eat snakes? This is enough for you to eat for a year," I said to Chen Zaihai in a trembling voice that I could barely hear my own.
