Chapter 18: The Task Force's Unlucky Ghost
"Hey! What are you doing? "Just as he was talking, Chen Zaihai was smashed by the marching dry food I threw away.
"What do you say? Didn't you see me eating? What kind of corpse, and what kind of snake has someone in its belly. You kid came to disgust me! "I was furious.
"Wronged! I'm telling you, there's really a man in the belly of that snake, it's from Ivan's task force, I don't believe you ask Talia! Chen Zaihai's words are conclusive.
I looked at Talia quizzically, and she just nodded sadly.
It dawned on me that the person might be someone Talia knew...... And Chen Zaihai and I are talking about it here without any scruples, which may be a little cruel to her.
"It's okay, that guy is indeed from the task force. But we have no way of knowing who he really is, and his facial features are completely distorted. We only conclude from the remaining fragments of clothing that he is part of the task force. Talia said to me as if she realized what I was thinking.
"You believe it this time, right? At that time, Ivan just asked us to find a way to dispose of the snake corpse, and I was going to call a few minions to burn the, but one of the minions said that there seemed to be something in the snake's belly. I looked at it and sure enough, it was handed. A dead man's hand was revealed in the big hole blown up by the thunder! We immediately informed Ivan, and a group of men worked hard to get rid of the unfortunate man. "Chan Zaikaido.
"So the task force has been attacked by this python before?" I asked.
"That's all we can say. The men from the geological team said that the python had come by surprise, and that its purpose seemed to be to kill people only, and not to swallow anyone. Talia said.
"So this python is already full, so why is it attacking us?" This makes me even more confused.
"Probably revenge, the surviving engineers told me that the python had a number of gunshot wounds before they shot it, and that it might have attacked the task force before, ate one of them and ran away with the guns. We're dressed like the task force, and the python may have taken us for a task force, and it wants revenge. "Chan Zaikaido.
"It turns out that the hellish snake was already injured before it attacked us...... No wonder I survived, if I hadn't been hurt, wouldn't I be a mess of flesh now? "I'm secretly glad.
"Don't forget that I called for help! Without Lao Tzu, you would have turned into meat paste with Lin Yiru's woman, no matter whether the snake was injured or not, that body shape would be enough to crush you into meat puree! "Chen Zaihai is still asking for credit.
"Alright, alright, you saved us, thank you so much, you mine stealer!" As soon as I remembered that this kid had been carrying a fried. Dan slept in a tent with me for days, and I didn't want to really thank him.
Watching Chen Zaihai nonchalantly nibble on the half-eaten dry food for the march, I realized that nothing I said to this guy would be useful.
I admit that Chen Zaihai is very reliable at every critical moment, and I would definitely not be sitting here without him and reminiscing about life, because his reliability has saved many lives.
But he is usually so unreliable, and even very off-line, which may be his unique character. Looking back on this person now, Chen Zaihai, my lifelong best friend still has a very magical feeling.
Listening to the noise of the busy engineers outside, I tried to turn around and lie down more comfortably. The sky was beautiful, and I didn't see a damn thunderstorm all day, otherwise the disposal of the corpse would have dragged on even longer.
After that, we chatted for a long time, including their college life, and even Talia put down her busy work to stay. Although the atmosphere has always been joyful, I always feel that there is a bleak condensation between Taria's eyebrows.
When I asked Lin Yiru how her condition was, of course Chen Zaihai made a joke. Talia told me that Lin Yiru woke up early this morning and was fine. It seems that at least my sin this time was not in vain, and Lin Yiru was safe and sound.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Zaihai and Talia left one after another. Chen Zaihai went to see if the engineers needed help, and Talia still went to check on the wounded.
When I calmed down, I still felt that something was wrong with Talia. I haven't known her for long, and I don't know what kind of person she is.
But judging from the performance just now, Talia still has something on her mind. Although the tone is no different from usual, the eyes of the people can't hide it.
It was a sad look that I had seen countless times when I had escaped from the hell called the Japanese-occupied zone, and it was a look that only appeared when I lost the most important thing in my life.
What I can feel is that Chen Zaihai, who has been dating for a long time, can't not find out. Did he deliberately not ask? It seems that there are still a lot of problems between these two people that I don't know.
As a wounded, I was not allowed to move around, so I had no choice but to go to bed early. At such a time, I even miss Chen Zaihai's noise. Looks like we're really all the way, I thought to myself.
With this thought in mind, I slowly fell asleep.
I woke up in a daze, really suddenly, I was in a deep sleep a second ago. This sudden awakening felt very bad, my heart was beating fast, my sweat was flowing well, and my throat was even more dry.
There have been a lot of inexplicable things lately. Shaking my slightly drowsy head, I sat up slowly, trying to find some water for myself.
But as soon as I walked to the general I noticed something unusual, and during the time I was asleep, something seemed to have happened outside, and I didn't want to think about it as a good thing, because too. It was quiet.
It was very quiet, very, very quiet outside, not only was there no gossip from the engineers of the vigil, but even the sound of insects that could be heard everywhere disappeared without a trace, and the noise before I fell asleep was almost fake.
It was so quiet that I could hear not only my heartbeat, but also the sound of blood flowing through the veins.
There's something wrong with that. Cold sweat ran down my cheeks and down my neck, and down my neck and into my clothes, and I almost forgot to wipe it. I suddenly realized that not only the sound, but all the light outside had disappeared at all!
In order to guard against the attack of wild beasts, Ivan had specially assigned several engineers to guard the bonfire, and the fire would never be extinguished under normal circumstances! The engineers guarding the fire will have plenty of rest during the day, and it is impossible to fall asleep and forget to renew the fire in such a situation. With the quality of the soldiers at that time, it was even more impossible for them to neglect their duties and be lazy, although most of them were half-grown children, but their sense of responsibility was definitely the strongest.
It can be seen from the fact that all the dead and wounded after being attacked by the giant python were the engineers, and the engineers were given the task of protecting the personal safety of the geological team, but they were stunned to block the crazy attack of the giant python with their own flesh and blood. Before we arrived, they were able to pay the price of nearly total annihilation in exchange for the survival of all the geological teams they were protecting.
No, no, there must be a problem, do they collectively joke with me and want to scare me? Wait for me to pee my pants and run out together and shout to lie to you!
How is this possible! They must have had an accident, but how did this happen? What kind of accident could make dozens of people disappear without a trace in such a short time when I fell asleep? And it's silent? Is this possible?
I struggled to control the trembling hands and lit the light next to me. We had small generators to carry with us, and of course this luxury was only available in the tents of the commander and the wounded.
Luckily, the lights came on smoothly. I looked down at my watch, twelve o'clock. Is it midnight? It's unlucky.
Wait a minute! If something really attacks someone else, wouldn't I be killing myself by doing it now! I'm starting to regret turning on the lights......
Just as I was trying to turn off the lights, I heard something...... The footsteps that seem to be something, rhythmically sounded should be two legs.
Could it be human? Should......
Normally I would have come to this conclusion, but now I'm shaken.
