Chapter 61: The Water Serpent

I pricked up my ears and listened, Nima, it's scary. I was so angry that I wanted to give him the butt of my gun.

He turned his head again and asked, "Did you hear that?" ”

The torch was in front of him, and he was against the light, and I couldn't make out his expression. But he said the second sentence more nervously, and he made a very rapid trill, which made me not feel that he was joking. My hair exploded.

In such a quiet environment, even the sound of breathing is like a bellows, even if the two words of squad leader Liu are pressed low, they have also reached everyone's ears. I heard everyone's breathing suddenly quicken.

At this time, Platoon Commander Zhao raised a fist in front of him and signaled to stop advancing.

I pressed my back against the wall of the cave with my ears facing the water. No, the sound of my heartbeat was so loud that I could only hear my own heartbeat. I put my hands to my ears again, and a sound came as if the wind was blowing through the treetops, and then another, not a single and constant sound, but really like a rhythm, like a piece of music. But I didn't feel a hint of pleasantness, only deep fear.

"Xiaohu, light the torch." Platoon Commander Zhao shouted.

Indeed, I could hear it, the sound was coming from behind. This was followed by the sound of lighters and bolts.

"Huh" The torch in Hu Aiguo's hand was also lit. However, the lighting of the torches was so poor that I could not see the environment in the distance, and I could only hear the sound of whistles coming tactfully, getting closer and louder.

"Captain Xiao, Professor Cao, you two come here." Platoon Commander Zhao shouted nervously. Then regardless of squad leader Liu's ugly expression, he pulled me to his side and said, "You run away with Captain Xiao and Professor Cao, and we will cover." ”

I glanced at squad leader Liu, this thing's face was distorted, I estimated that he would collapse immediately, and I was designated to reproduce the tragic scene of feces and urine collapsing. I said to Platoon Commander Zhao: "Squad Leader Liu has no weapons, let him take Captain Xiao and Cao Mingzhe to retreat, and I will stay and cover." ”

Platoon Commander Zhao showed his toughness for the first time: "Here I have the final say. He is a soldier and has a duty to stay behind to cover you. Then he pointed to the gun in my chest and said, "Keep them safe." ”

I took out a torch from Xiao Guolin's back, lit it on the torch in Platoon Commander Zhao's hand, looked at him and said solemnly: "Come alive." I'll wait for you. ”

I didn't wait for him to answer, I had a foreboding feeling that the only thing he said would be his last words. I run fast, and my steps are no longer light, and I no longer take my steps lightly to hide my sound. Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe were also aware of the danger, and ran desperately after me, not missing a single step.

The sound of gunfire and grenade explosions rang out not long after we ran out. The fire flickered like a flash behind us, two automatic rifles fired alternately, and grenades rang out twice in a moment. The battle heats up at the start.

I laughed at myself as a character with an excessive sense of responsibility, and at this time I became troubled. I couldn't take any step forward, and I felt like I would be tripped up by my own confused thoughts, or another self. I stuffed the torch in my hand to Xiao Guolin and said: Keep running. He turned and rushed towards the dense gunfire.

There was no need for torch lighting, gunfire and flashes pointed the way and the way. Before I could run over, the gunfire stopped abruptly, and I felt my heart suddenly turn cold and fall hard. The torches were not extinguished, they were still shaking. I don't know if they're out of bullets or if they've lost the ability to fight back. But I wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think they had a good fight, so I ran and boring the bullets.

In a blink of an eye, the firelight arrived in front of me, and Platoon Commander Zhao ran towards me with a torch in one hand and Hu Aiguo. Hu Aiguo's face was full of blood, and the front of his clothes was soaked with blood, half leaning on Platoon Commander Zhao, and staggered towards me. Of course they won't see me, I'm still outside the torch light.

Behind the two of them, the only hand that could move, swinging a torch, struck at something.

It was the first time this behemoth had been presented so clearly in front of me. It's big, that's the only thing I can think of. This is a huge snake creature, so huge that the part it protrudes out of the water is more than ten meters long, and the brown and yellow patterns on its body can be seen in the bright firelight, and the snake that is thicker than the body of squad leader Liu is raised high, and the snake's head keeps swinging, so that I can't see clearly. But it obviously wanted to wrap up squad leader Liu and entangle and smash the opponent.

Like a madman, squad leader Liu held a torch high, jumped up and pestle the snake's head. There was no trace of fear in his voice, but an extremely intense excitement, as if he had really gone crazy. I know that's excitement.

He was tormented by the demon in his heart all the way. From the moment he saw this big guy, he fell into the shadow of fear, what he was afraid of was not death, but water ghosts, and the shadow that he had planted in his heart since he was a child.

It's a ridiculous thing to say, a person who is not even afraid of death, yes, I know that after he got the news that Song Guilong ran away, he already looked down on life and death, and after seeing the head of Company Commander Li, he strengthened his belief. His goal now is only to complete the task given to him by Company Commander Li: to bring Song Guilong back or die behind Song Guilong.

Such a person would be afraid of water ghosts. I personally can't explain and understand, but that's the truth, he fears this kind of thing from the depths of his soul, more than death.

But now he knew that it was not a water ghost that kept him out of his body, but a huge water serpent, and that humiliation, that humiliation that he could not face, burned him. His performance made me think that he wanted to use his death to wash away the humiliation caused by this giant water snake.

When the head of the giant water snake came into contact with the torch, it suddenly threw backwards as if it had been hit hard, and the grease wrapped in the torch was not only extremely bright, but also terrifyingly hot. The giant water snake was visibly scorched. The grease-coated torch was not affected in the slightest, and was not extinguished by this blow, the flame just "popped", and the flames rose into the air again.

The giant water snake did not retreat from this, its body leaned back into a bow, and it suddenly rolled sideways towards Team Leader Liu.

I know I can't wait, squad leader Liu will definitely not be able to hold on for long, as long as he takes a beat, he will be completely finished. Maybe that's what he wants, but I can't let this happen to me. I raised my gun and shouted, "Lie down!" ”

I didn't wait for them to react before tongues of fire erupted. There was no time to wait, the water snake had already rolled towards squad leader Liu.

PS: Second update. It's tomorrow Sunday, so let's work hard one more day and try to make it to the hit list!
