Volume 1 The Book of Origins Chapter 12 The Long Night
After a hard battle, the team rested for more than ten minutes under the trees around the battlefield.
Jiang Li also woke up from his slumber during this period, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a white and round chin above, and the long hair hanging down from his temples was on both sides of his shoulders, and the owner of the hair was squinting and resting because of fatigue.
Jiang Li quietly looked at this beautiful picture for a few seconds, and then sat up gently. But Xia Xiaowei's hand was on Jiang Li's chest, and Jiang Li's move also made Xia Xiaowei open his eyes.
Xia Xiaowei saw that Jiang Li woke up, and his tired face immediately became energetic.
"Senior, you're awake. Ye Ming didn't close his eyes and rest, he had been sitting next to Xia Xiaowei, so as soon as Jiang Li woke up, he immediately found out.
"Well, thank you guys. Jiang Li nodded at Ye Ming, then stood up and stretched out his arm, turned around and looked around.
"We don't work hard, Sister Xiao Wei is hard! Sister Xiao Wei, her legs are numb by the senior's pillow. After Ye Ming saw Jiang Li get up, Xia Xiaowei wanted to stand up, but he moved and sat back again, and he understood that her legs were numb, so he teased Xia Xiaowei.
Xia Xiaowei blushed, but found that Ye Ming deliberately teased herself, regardless of the numbness of her legs, she supported the ground with one hand, leaned forward, and grabbed Ye Ming's ear with the other hand: "Okay, you, dare to tease your sister, see if I don't clean you up." ”
Xia Xiaowei definitely didn't twist it hard, but just made a little appearance, so Ye Ming cried out in pain.
Jiang Li watched the two of them fighting, and the depressed mood in his heart also improved a lot. Jiang Li turned to this Ruoxue and asked, "Ruoxue, have the people from the No. 36 monitoring station arrived?"
Ruoxue stood up from the ground, patted her buttocks, and then replied to Jiang Li: "Captain, I just contacted again, Captain Zhou Mao personally led a team to our coordinate point, it should be almost there." ”
Jiang Li heard Ruoxue's answer, worried that Sun Xiao's heart would be a little lowered. Sun Xiao's wound lying on the ground next to him has been bandaged by Ruoxue, and some urgent medicines have also been applied, Sun Xiao's breathing has stabilized now, but his face is very pale after blood loss.
The team waited under the tree for a while, and Zhou Mao led three other team members to appear in front of everyone.
"Captain Jiang, we've arrived. Zhou Mao walked forward to say hello to Jiang Li, and then looked around to see the injuries of the players, and found that except for Sun Xiao, who was seriously injured, the other team members were basically not big, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Two of the three team members brought by Zhou Mao stepped forward and lifted Sun Xiao into an ecological belt, and then lifted him up. This eco-zone is a sterile environment that can prevent further infection of Sun Xiao's wound.
"Captain Jiang, then we will also go back to the monitoring station. Don't worry, I will immediately send Sun Xiao back to the life net. Good luck with your next mission. Zhou Mao and the team members behind him saluted Jiang Li and the team members, Jiang Li and the team members also saluted back, and then watched Zhou Mao take his team out of the forest.
After Sun Xiao was picked up by Zhou Mao, the reconnaissance team continued to march deep into the forest. Zheng Dong also drove the Cold Soldier Type 5 back to the front of the team to investigate. After the team lost Sun Xiao, it became Wang Kai driving the Rewu Type 3 at the back of the team, and Ye Ming and Ruoxue were on guard on the left and right sides of the team.
After the team went deeper, Jiang Li asked the team to stop in the communicator. "Now it's time to install the unit. Jiang Li looked at the surroundings and said.
So Ye Ming, Ruoxue and Xia Xiaowei took out some small devices from their backpacks. These devices can be used for a long time, 24 hours to monitor any situation within a 10-meter range centered on the equipment, and these collected information will be reflected to the monitoring station, and then transmitted by the monitoring station to the data center of Tongtian Jianmu for analysis and then fed back to the monitoring station.
It's a complicated process, but it only takes a few seconds to get it up and running.
From this place, the team will go deeper into the forest, burying the equipment all over the forest, in the trees, in the dirt, in the bushes, etc.
After Ye Ming and the three buried the equipment, they returned to the team. Jiang Li glanced at the time and the weather and informed the team on the communicator: "It's getting dark, we have to start looking for a place to rest at night." ”
Hearing Jiang Li's words, the team members also looked up at the sky. Ye Ming found that although there was fog above, he obviously felt that the sky was a lot darker, and it was about to enter the night.
The forest at night is very dangerous, because there are many more nocturnal animals in the forest than during the day, so the team needs to find a place for the team to rest.
The team continued to move forward, but Jiang Li let the team move towards the west, so that it was much safer to rest in the west at night, near the outskirts of the forest.
The night finally fell, and the fog did not dissipate at night, and Ye Ming and the others could hardly see far, which was tantamount to walking in this dangerous forest as if they were blind. Only infrared imaging and thermal imaging on the glasses can be relied upon.
"Stationed on the spot, the team members can't stay under the tree, they all climb to the tree and wait. Wang Kai and Zheng Dong also drove the war machine to the tree, tonight under the tree you take turns to keep vigil, who will keep watch in the first half of the night and who will keep watch in the second half of the night to discuss it yourself. The vigil on the tree was done by Ye Ming and me, and the two ladies just had to rest. Jiang Li saw that it was inconvenient to move in the forest in the dark night, so he asked the team members to be stationed on the spot, which was already close to the edge of the forest.
Hearing Jiang Li's order, Zheng Dong and Wang Kai drove the war machine to the giant tree where they had chosen to rest and stood by. Ruoxue heard that there was no need to keep vigil at night, so she jumped happily: "Thank you, captain! ”
Xia Xiaowei glanced at Jiang Li after hearing Jiang Li's words, feeling dissatisfied that he treated men and women differently, but he was very happy because of Jiang Li's concern.
Ye Ming touched his nose and nodded, he didn't care, he just kept vigil, and it didn't seem good to let two delicate beauties keep vigil.
Jiang Li and Ye Ming first went to the tree to conduct a safety inspection, and went up to the top of the tree more than 100 meters high, because it was necessary to eliminate nocturnal mutant creatures such as spiders on the tree, which were not only highly poisonous, but also extremely aggressive, so they had to take precautions.
Later, the two of them checked on several surrounding trees, installed some alarm equipment, and placed many alarm devices on the ground, in case there is a situation at night, which can remind the team members to prepare for battle.
When everything was done, the whole forest was pitch black, and nothing could be seen with the naked eye alone. Ye Ming, Jiang Li, Xia Xiaowei, Li Yi and Ruoxue came to the tree.
The branches of the giant tree are very thick, and any branch is two or three meters thick, and it can be used as a bed to sleep. The five of them laid out their sleeping bags and lay down inside.
This kind of sleeping bag can see the outside situation, and can also isolate some breath and sound in the sleeping bag, and the sleeping bag also has an alarm system to sense danger. Although the security features are not very powerful, at least they can play some safety roles.
In the first half of the night, Ye Ming kept vigil, he lay in his sleeping bag for a while, and then opened his sleeping bag and came out. Although he can sense his surroundings in a sleeping bag, he is uncomfortable when he lies down for a long time without sleeping.
Ye Ming sat on the trunk of the tree, he didn't have to stare around all the time, there were many security alarm devices placed around him, and he didn't need to stare at it. Ye Ming only needs to be optimistic about the reaction of those alarm devices.
Ye Ming looked at the pitch-black environment around him, and then pulled down his glasses and put them on his eyes, so that he could still see the surrounding environment clearly.
Nights like this are long, and there is nothing to do in the trees, nor can there be light or sound, so it is a bit boring.
The light in this dark forest undoubtedly attracts the existence of mutant creatures, and the louder voice will also summon mutant creatures, and the ability of mutant creatures cannot be underestimated.
Ye Ming sat on the branch and seriously recalled his performance in today's battle, to see if there was anything that was not in place and was not satisfied, and he must correct it in the next battle. After all, the slightest mistake in battle can cost one's own life.
After thinking about this, Ye Ming thought of some other things to pass the boring time. finally stayed until the second half of the night, and Jiang Li, who was sleeping in the sleeping bag next to him, woke up and left the sleeping bag and sat up.
"I'm sleepy, it's my turn to keep vigil. Jiang Li looked at Ye Ming, who was sitting next to him, and patted him on the shoulder with concern.
"I'm not sleepy, I'm just bored. Ye Ming complained slightly, but it was not the first time to stay in the forest at night like this. He was already able to endure nights like this.
Jiang Li laughed when he heard Ye Ming's complaint, and then asked Ye Ming to go to sleep. Jiang Li asked the two war machine people in the communicator, and at this time, it should be Zheng Dong and Wang Kai who have changed shifts.
"Is there anything going on down there?" Jiang Li asked the two people below as he looked at the sirens on the trees.
"Report to the captain, nothing was found, everything is normal. It was Wang Kai who answered Jiang Li, indicating that Zheng Dong had already gone to rest. Zheng Dong was keeping watch in the middle of the night, and Wang Kai took over the vigil at this time.
Before the long night left, the team members woke up one by one.
"Morning, Captain. Ruoxue sat up, rubbed her eyes, looked at Jiang Li next to her, and said. Ruoxue is a natural optimist, and even in such a dangerous forest, she still has no sad face.
"Morning, Ruoxue. Jiang Li looked back at Ruoxue, who had just woken up, and answered her greetings.
At this time, the three sleeping bags next to them also moved, and Ye Ming, Xia Xiaowei, and Li Yi also woke up. After everyone woke up, Jiang Li led the team members to the tree.
Under the tree, the team members take food out of the war machine's storage silos. The war machine is equipped with refrigerators, so the team members can eat fresh food and milk and the like.
The team members will also carry some compressed food and water, which are just in case, otherwise no one will want to touch the unpalatable food.
After breakfast, Jiang Li asked the team to wait for dawn under the tree and began to continue scouting in the forest.
