I silently looked at Platoon Commander Zhao and watched him say the sentence that we could already premonish, "I will also stay and cover." ”

I know that this is his sense of responsibility, and I don't support him from the bottom of my heart to stay, because it is equally important to protect Xiao Guolin and them through this dangerous road. But I don't have the right to deny his decision, so I can only accept it.

In this way, the two most combat-ready people in our group stayed. If squad leader Liu and Hu Aiguo were not injured, there would be no place for me in the ranks of the most combat-effective people, and now I am better than these two people in terms of physical condition and mental state, and even better than Platoon Leader Zhao in terms of willpower.

Hu Aiguo took the torch very obediently and urged Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe to run quickly. Xiao Guolin glanced at me with complicated eyes and ran away with Hu Aiguo.

The three of us looked at each other. After making this decision, Platoon Commander Zhao's face became relaxed, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Go in." ”

Then in a screeching sound that was getting closer and louder, we entered this rest area.

There was a lot of space inside, and Platoon Commander Zhao took a torch around the cave wall and found a crack in a corner of the cave wall. The crack wasn't big, and the three of us could barely squeeze in.

Platoon Commander Zhao looked at the crack and said, "I hope this will allow us to escape." ”

I really don't have much hope that I will be able to escape, but I don't want to hit Platoon Commander Zhao and give him a glimmer of hope.

Team Leader Liu didn't have this illusion, and said very coldly: "Just hold it off for a little longer." ”

I don't want to join them in this pointless discussion, looking for all the weapons to attack in the light of torches. Soon, I collected a small pile of stones and piled them out of the crack. Squad Leader Liu unscrewed the back cover of the grenade, put the pull ring on his fingers, and watched me busy with Platoon Leader Zhao with nothing to do.

I think they can see what I'm thinking, too. These stones are unlikely to cause damage to the giant water monster, and the only thing they can do is to attract it to it. In other words, it is used to find death.

Seeing that I was almost busy, squad leader Liu suddenly said to me, "Do you still have cigarettes?" ”

I thought about it, reached into my robe and touched it, and for a long time I felt for a handful of tobacco and a filter. I still have nearly half a pack of cigarettes in my box, but they're all soaked. Squad leader Liu excitedly took out a piece of paper, took the tobacco thread, put down the grenade, and rolled it up very skillfully with the help of a finger in his left hand. Ask me, "Anything else?" ”

I touched it again, and the cigarette was in the middle of the sleeping bag, and the tobacco, cigarette butts, and the wrapping paper of the cigarette case were mixed together, and they were still wet, and many of them were stuck to the sleeping bag. I grabbed some more from scratching and handed it to him, "No, that's all." ”

Squad Leader Liu handed me the rolled one, and rolled the second one. Soon, the three of us sat on the ground against the wall, snorting damp smoke in the midst of a deafening roar and trembling, waiting for death to come. My mood has calmed down and I have come out of the initial impulse.

Squad leader Liu is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, squinting slightly and enjoying the stimulation brought to him by tobacco. The cigarette burns very slowly when it is damp, and it must be inhaled vigorously to not extinguish, and the paper of the cigarette is the inner page of one of his documents, which is very hard and has an unpleasant smell of ink. The smell of this smoke is really hard to call enjoyable, but it is very exciting, and my tears are smoked.

He picked up the grenade again, and the fire of the cigarette butt, flickering next to the grenade, carried the soot of sparks, and sometimes fell into the unscrewed wooden handle of the grenade. The pull ring is put on the middle finger, and when smoking, the grenade is slightly tilted with the hand, as if it will fall down at any time, and it will explode at any time.

The strange thing is that I didn't feel scared, and I had a very funny feeling watching his movements. I think if I look at it any longer, I'll really laugh. I looked at Platoon Commander Zhao.

There was still a hesitant expression on his face, and judging from the act of smoking, he was not in a calm mood and uncertain. Because he would raise his hand halfway up and put it down, obviously thinking about it.

I couldn't help but despise him. When are you still hesitating, will anyone pay for your impulses at this time? But I didn't persuade him, I wanted to enjoy the last moments and confirm the course of action.

I have no regrets about this decision. From the moment squad leader Liu made this suggestion, I knew that he was right, there was no one to cover it, to drag it, to drag this huge monster, and several of us couldn't run away. However, the chance of squad leader Liu dragging this water monster alone is too small, even if he succeeds, he will not drag it out for too long. And the road will definitely not be short. I will definitely increase the success rate of the action and increase the time it takes to hold it down, based on my confidence in my ability to act.

With a loud noise outside, squad leader Liu threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "It's here." ”

Then the three of us picked up the stones on the ground and threw them out of the hole. All I collect are fist-sized rocks, and we can throw them far enough to hit it and let it know that there's someone hiding inside. Since it is looking for us through sound, let's make a bigger sound to cover up Xiao Guolin's footsteps. The stones were thrown out in such a way that some of them might have hit it directly, and some of them were still on the walls of the cave or on the ground, making a loud noise.

Sure enough, it came to a halt outside the rest area where we were hiding, and while we were still throwing stones, a huge wrist foot reached in, whipped sideways like a whip in the hollow, and then shrank back with a jumble of deafening sounds.

This made me almost deaf. The mouth of the cave was not big, but the guy blocked the exit again, and the huge wrist and foot pumped on the cave wall, scattering the weathered skin of the cave wall, and it was like a rain of stones. The moment the black shadow of our wrists and feet appeared, the three of us lay on the ground with our heads in our hands at the same time, and the stones hurt on our backs. My bare hands were beaten and seemed to be broken, but I didn't dare to let go, my head was more important than my hands. At this time, I was very envious of squad leader Liu, because he had a helmet.

Although it is a stone cave near the water, the humidity of this stone cave is not large, and a large amount of stone powder is sprinkled with rubble. The cave was suddenly filled with a pungent and choking smell, and the vision became even more unclear. The torch was strong, and such a dense rain of stones and stone dust did not extinguish it.

I stood up, pointed to the crack in the stone and shouted to Platoon Commander Zhao: "You two go in first, I'll lead it outside." ”

Platoon Commander Zhao said unwillingly: "You go in, I'll come first." ”

Squad Leader Liu got up and pushed him: "It's all the same, let's go in." ”

In fact, in my heart, whoever comes first and who comes after is the same, just like squad leader Liu said. No one has experience in this kind of thing, and you don't need to demonstrate, so it's worthless to fight.

PS: First update. Even though it's a little late, I'm still going to shout and smash my dream ticket! The second watch will come out in the afternoon, there will be.
