Chapter 5 There was gunfire in the middle of the night
(For Little Twelve?) Additions)
When we started, we didn't notice the two.
In fact, due to Captain Peng's neglect, Ma Yiao and I have been on the edge of the scientific expedition team from the very beginning, and we don't communicate much with the members, and more often we are obeying orders and listening to commands.
After the decision was made above, we will do whatever we are told to do, without too many discounts, and we will resolutely implement it.
And during the meal, we were also teasing the little monk, so I don't know how the two quarreled.
As the two leaders of the scientific expedition team, Captain Peng and Teacher Zhang are quite concerned about the influence, although anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are contradictions between the two, or there are differences of opinion, but they are not public, and even the quarrel at this moment is subconsciously far away.
But even so, the quarrel between the leaders of the two expedition teams finally fell into my ears.
I vaguely heard that Mr. Zhang was accusing Captain Peng of being a "tyrant" and disregarding the lives of his teammates, while Captain Peng accused Mr. Zhang of looking forward and backward, not having any courage, hesitating, and not knowing what he was doing.
And he has repeatedly stated that he is the person in charge of the entire expedition team, and he has the right to decide the overall direction in the event of internal differences of opinion and loss of contact with the outside world.
Yes, on the second day of entering the mountain, we had lost communication with the outside world.
Captain Peng needs all the members of the expedition team to obey his command and orders.
Including the consultant, Mr. Zhang.
Teacher Zhang said a sentence to Captain Peng, because I was more focused, even if it was more than twenty meters away, I could roughly hear the full meaning of this sentence: "Without me, are you sure that you can walk through the Hell Eight Cold Realm safely?" ”
Captain Peng's face suddenly turned cold, and after a long while, he said, "I have that little monk here." ”
Teacher Zhang said: "With him, it can't be done. ”
Speaking of which, the two did not argue anymore, looked at each other for a long time, and broke up unhappily.
Then Shainin intervened and began to communicate with the two, because it was a low voice, so it was difficult for me to hear more information, and not long after, the news came, and today I will not continue to move forward, but here I am ready to set up camp and live in this forest.
I'm not interested in the above immortal fights, but the term "Hell Yae Cold Realm", which has been mentioned repeatedly, still arouses my curiosity.
But everyone was silent about it, and I couldn't get much information.
For this operation, the Tianji Department has made a lot of preparations, so the supplies are also complete, and after confirming that they will camp here tonight, everyone will take action and start setting up tents.
The tent was a two-person tent, and the little monk brought his belongings with him, and he had no luggage, so we invited him to follow us into a tent.
This kid is not big, so there is nothing wrong with stuffing it.
And I have a candle fire and am not afraid of the cold, so the sleeping bag can also be used for him.
The little monk didn't expect us to be so enthusiastic, and he was a little moved, and he forgot about Ma Yiao's previous behavior of testing him and instigating him to take out the relics of the ancient Buddha, and then became more and more enthusiastic with us.
In fact, aside from the annoying questions of the little monk, this young man is actually quite interesting.
Because he stayed in the temple all the year round, he didn't see many people, so he became more and more childlike and innocent, far from the worldliness of adults.
We had a good chat with him, and in the current atmosphere of the scientific expedition team, it is not lonely to have such a child by his side.
At night, Captain Peng came to communicate with us about the duty time, because we had spent the night in the field before, and everything had a rule, so there was no need to say too much.
Together with Ma Yiao, I would be on duty from twelve o'clock to two o'clock in the evening.
Of course, Captain Peng didn't fully trust us, so in addition to us, there was also a fighter from the Tiger squad with us.
The fighters of the Tiger squad do not call each other by name, but by code name, from number one to number nine, and then Captain Huang.
Accompanying us on duty was the Five.
As for the little monk, because he was a guest, he was treated well and did not need to be on duty at night.
We were in the mountains along the north-western border, and it was dark early, and after some tossing and turning, it was almost half past eight, and I was quite tired from the day's travel, but I still insisted on practicing meditation and resting after the week.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Tang Dao and Xia Long flew over to call us, and Ma Yiao and I got up, let the little monk who wanted to follow him continue to sleep, and then we walked out of the tent.
In the middle of the night in mid-May, the dew was heavy and the weather was slightly cold, and two bonfires were lit in the middle of the forest.
After we handed over the defense, Tang Dao and Xia Longfei were not polite, and turned around to rest.
There is still a lot of road to go tomorrow, and if you don't have enough sleep time, even if you are a cultivator, you may not be able to bear it.
The fifth of the Tiger squad came over and had a brief chat with us, and then he went to the northwest corner to stand guard, while Ma Yiao and I stopped on a big rock not far away to guard the surroundings.
The reason why this is so is not to guard against anything else, but that there are often wild beasts and jackals in this mountain, and if they break in and don't know it, they will make a joke.
Of course, for the scientific expedition team, these are all trivial matters, not to mention that we have so many cultivators here, even if it is the Tiger class, people are also carrying weapons, and as soon as they go over, no matter how powerful the beasts are, they will all lie down, and maybe they can even give us more food.
So the task of being on duty at night is not too heavy, but it doesn't take long to sleep, and then I get up and toss for two hours, which is really annoying.
From this point, you can also feel Captain Peng's attitude - for example, Tang Dao and Xia Longfei, after the shift, slept until dawn, how comfortable such an arrangement is.
It's a pity that we can't expect such care.
Fortunately, Ma Yiao and I are both happy people who meet with the situation, since we decided to endure the blame, we have put down our minds, and on such a night, we whispered about some experiences in cultivation, and some messy feelings, or chatted casually about some gossip, and the time is not sad.
Two hours passed without incident, and then Inspector Shainin got up and handed us over.
This short-haired woman was not only to us, she was lukewarm to everyone, so we were all just going about business, and after the handover, we went back to sleep in the tent.
I didn't think that we had just laid down here, and before we could close our eyes, we heard two gunshots from the northeast.
I don't know if I haven't fallen asleep yet, or if the gunfire in this quiet night is really too abrupt, so I reacted at once, and hurriedly climbed out of the tent, and Ma Yiao also climbed out, shouting to Shainin not far away: "What's the situation?" ”
Shainin shook his head and said he didn't know.
And one of the fighters next to him said, "It sounds like a shotgun, not a standard weapon." ”
Ma Yiao said: "Go and see." ”
After speaking, he didn't care about Xie Ning anymore, but quickly touched it in the northeast direction, and I didn't hesitate and followed closely behind Ma Yiao.
The terrain is uneven, high and low, and there are many trees growing in a mess, making it extremely difficult to walk during the day, let alone at night, when there is almost no light.
But fortunately, my eyes were able to get used to the darkness and discern the right path, so I didn't fall.
Ma Yiao was still walking at first, but later, he followed me.
After running like this for about ten minutes, I saw a black shadow lying in a thorn in the forest in front of me, and I was about to go up, but I didn't feel right, and subconsciously fell to the ground, and then, a gunshot came from a distance, and with a "bang", it hit a tree behind me.
Ma Yiao and I couldn't figure out what was going on in front of us, so we didn't dare to take our heads, so we hurriedly looked for cover nearby, and after waiting for a while, suddenly there was an eagle's cry overhead, sharp and piercing.
I subconsciously looked up, but saw a black shadow skimming through the sky and falling down the mountain.
I waited patiently for a few minutes, and after feeling no movement ahead, I jumped up from the ground and ran away in the direction of the gunshots.
At the same time, I already held the golden hoop stick in my hand, and as long as it didn't feel right, I would infuse it with demonic power and go down with a stick.
However, when I rushed to the place where the shots rang out, I didn't find anyone.
I looked left and right, but I didn't find anything, then I smelled something, leaned down, and felt a cigarette butt with residual warmth.
The cigarette butt must have been thrown away for a short time, and it was still hot.
I looked left and right, but I found nothing, and Ma Yiao also touched it, he walked to the dark shadow of the bushes, and turned on the portable flashlight equipped by the scientific expedition team.
I looked over, but I saw that the shadow was a spotted leopard.
The thing was about 1.8 meters long, and it looked like a cat, but it was muscular, full of strong muscles, sharp claws, and its fur was golden yellow, with black spots mixed in, which was very beautiful.
I walked over quickly, touched the leopard, and found that it was no longer breathing.
And in the vital part of its chest, there are two bullet holes, which are still gurgling and bleeding.
I glanced at Ma Yiao, did you say it was a nightcrawler?
Ma Yiao shook his head and said that if he thought too much, he was just a wild leopard.
I was a little puzzled, saying that when Mr. Zhang talked about this mountain beast before, he didn't say that there were leopards.
At this time, there was movement not far away, and Ma Yiao and I immediately got up to be on guard, and soon, I found that the people who came were Captain Peng, Tang Dao, and Captain Huang and others.
