Chapter 6: Thousands of Miles Away
The pristine river, which is 300 meters wide, winds its way from one end of the forest to the other. In order to cross this river, everyone abandoned the jeep and boarded the raft built by each team with only the necessary guns, ammunition and daily necessities. The seemingly calm water was turbulent, and it drifted down for 3 miles.
Just when everyone thought that they could cross the river safely, a thick snake tail suddenly burst out from under the water, overturning the passengers of the last few boats, and making everyone who had crossed the river one step ahead of them break out in a cold sweat.
Climbing over the majestic mountains that traverse the east and west, everyone meets the cannibal snowman on the top of the mountain covered with snow all the year round; entering the verdant fruit forest, everyone is attacked by a group of fierce violent apes; entering the flower-filled valley, the dancing butterflies leave some people here forever; the lava flowing through the ground "drowns" the people who have stumbled and fallen into it, the bottomless cracks in the ground, wrapped in the strong wind ready to devour the people climbing on the cliffs, and the most terrifying thing is the haunting and surging gray wolf beast herd......
The number of people in the team has been reduced again and again, and the last people who have survived have all developed a strong heart that is not frightened when Mount Tai collapses. When everyone saw the man-made structure again, they were all excited.
The castle has arrived, and their destination has arrived.
Everyone stopped and silently stared at the backbone of the team, Ye Jian. If it weren't for him, the crowd wouldn't have gone this far.
Ye Jian stepped forward and looked at it for a moment, slowly turned around, looked at the resolute people in front of him, nodded slightly, and said, "You are all very good! We should all be proud to arrive here alive." But now is not the time for us to be happy, and there is still one last hurdle ahead of us. If we cross it, we will be free, and if we fail, we will lose our lives forever. Now, let's take a final break. Assemble the squad leaders!"
"Yes!"
The squad leaders gave the deputy squad leader a look, and then walked quickly to Ye Jian.
Ye Jian said again: "Lu Ming, you take two people to the ancient castle to investigate, pay attention to concealment." ”
"Yes. Lu Ming took the order to stand up, then glanced at the young team member in front of him, and called: "Yunfei, Zhang Xing, you act with me." ”
"Yes. Yun Fei and Zhang Xing immediately stepped forward and followed Lu Ming's actions.
......
From the edge of the forest, you can see the castle in the distance. It wasn't until I got closer that I realized that there was still a long distance between the two. The three of them approached cautiously, observing their surroundings and beware of possible dangers.
20 meters in front of the castle, there is nothing. The castle is built on the edge of a cliff and is made entirely of huge stones, surrounded by a 15-meter-high arrow tower that guards the scattered buildings in between. The outer walls are more than 10 meters high and are accessed by a large wooden gate 5 meters high and 4 meters wide.
Lu Ming and Yun Fei looked at each other suspiciously, and whispered: "Yun Fei, you go to the left to reconnoiter the distance of 1 mile, Zhang Xing, you go to the right to reconnoiter the distance of 1 mile." Stay safe. ”
Yun Fei and Zhang Xing clenched their fists with their right hands and lightly hammered their chests. The two glanced at each other, and each slowly walked in the direction of the mission.
Three months is not a long time, but it is not a short time. After three months of life and death training, Yunfei has also grown from an ignorant teenager to a warrior who can take charge of himself.
Any letting of our guard can cost you a life. This is a lesson that others have written with their lives. 500 meters is not too far, but it can still be dangerous. Yunfei walked very slowly and cautiously.
Along the way, nothing was found except for sparse trees. Just as he was about to turn around after completing the journey, a little silver suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye. Yun Fei subconsciously fell to the ground on his back, and then quickly turned his body and hid behind the big tree.
He pulled out a small mirror from his bosom and cautiously leaned out from behind the tree to look at it. After some careful investigation, he found a cat on one of the big trees - an electronic eye was installed on the tree.
After a careful investigation of the surroundings, no new information was found. After thinking about it, he still decided to return to Lu Ming's side, report the latest situation, and then decide to take further action. On the way back, he inspected the trees one by one to make sure there were no new discoveries.
From a distance, I saw Lu Ming sticking out a hand from behind a tree and making a gesture. Yunfei understood, quickly shifted shape, and relied on the shelter of the woods to move to the depths of the woods.
The two met, and Lu Ming asked, "What did you find?"
Yunfei reported the discovery.
Lu Ming thumped his hands and said, "It seems that Zhang Xing is on the way." Xuan turned back to Yun Fei and said, "We may have been discovered." Return now and update the captain. ”
Yun Fei hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Zhang Xing?"
"Zhang Xing......" Lu Ming probe felt a needle from somewhere, "Zhang Xing may have been caught." I've been to see where the accident happened, there is no trace of battle, only traces of dragging, don't be impulsive, return with me now, this is an order, obedient. Lu Ming said as he grabbed Yun Fei's arm tightly.
Yun Fei clenched his teeth, looked anxiously in the direction of the ancient castle, thought about it, and followed Lu Ming back to the brigade.
......
Ye Jian listened carefully to Lu Ming's report, holding the needle in his hand and looking at it carefully. After Lu Ming finished reporting, Ye Jian pinched the needle and said, "It seems that it has been exposed." I'm afraid this is a powerful hypnotic needle, don't worry, Zhang Xing may not be in danger. Everyone rest early, gather at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning, and storm the castle. ”
"Yes. The crowd replied in a low voice.
was originally happy because he was about to arrive at his destination, but because of Zhang Xing's disappearance, everyone's hearts were a little heavy.
Yun Fei carefully disassembled the submachine gun in his hand, as well as a pistol, to ensure that tomorrow's battle would not malfunction. Fully automatic miniature submachine guns with 3 magazines of 50 rounds each, and semi-automatic pistols with 5 magazines of 17 rounds each.
This is the result of the redistribution of ammunition after the concentration of all personnel. Relying on combat capability, some people are allocated more, and some people are assigned less. But at least everyone will have a submachine gun in case of a possible battle.
The next day, Yun Fei woke up in time, and by the dim moonlight, he was armed.
In the woods, the members of each class have been assembled one after another. After waiting for a while, everyone was assembled, Ye Jian waved his hand, and everyone hurriedly followed the instructions of the squad leaders and carefully advanced towards the ancient castle.
Coming to the front of the castle, the members of the 6th squad stepped forward and threw hooks at the walls of the castle.
"Wow Wow...... Woo Woo ......"
"Jingle Bell ......"
Everyone was stunned and looked at the squad leaders.
Ye Jian hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Each squad will act according to the original plan and attack." The rest of the people hid themselves. With that, he quickly shifted his feet and hid towards the base of the castle wall.
Suddenly, a man's old voice came from the hidden loudspeaker in front of the castle: "Ahem, cough...... Guests from afar, you don't have to be like that. Lay down your arms, and I can make you guests in my castle. Wait a minute, ahem...... Alas, when people are old, they can't compare to you young people, and if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you like to sneak into other people's houses, cough cough cough ......"
The crowd hesitated, waiting for new instructions.
Ye Jian pondered for a moment, and suddenly walked to the wooden gate of the ancient castle.
"Captain, be careful!" shouted the crowd anxiously.
Ye Jian handed the pistol and submachine gun to the soldiers beside him, and then pretended to be relaxed: "I'm sorry to disturb you in the middle of the night." It's just that one of my team members disappeared before evening, and according to the clues I received, he should have been found by your men and brought to the castle. I'm here just to get you back my teammates, and I don't mean anything else. ”
"Oh hehehe...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The old voice coughed violently, and then continued, "I'm afraid you're in the wrong place, I'm the earl of the emperor's favor, and it's impossible for me to do such a thing." ”
"Oh, yes? I was reckless. After Ye Jian finished speaking, he glanced to the side.
Lu Ming understood and hurriedly shouted: "Captain, Zhang Xing was really arrested by him." I've seen it with my own eyes, no, there's still the handle they left behind when they arrested people. Lu Ming said, and deliberately touched his body, holding the needle to signal. ”
"This is really ......" Ye Jian took the needle and continued: "Look, Lord Earl, although I believe that you are innocent, my team members do not believe it. Why don't we go in and search, we can not only wash away your suspicions, but also avoid misunderstandings between you and me. Of course, if there is any inconvenience...... Then we would be unreasonable. ”
The Earl said, "Ahem...... cough cough cough ...... There's nothing unsightly in my castle. I'm not unreasonable, it's okay for you to search, but you can't bring guns in, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to go to God in advance, with old arms and legs. ”
Ye Jian said: "Look at what you said, we are a disciplined army, not bandits and rebels. We won't do anything that harms people's lives. ”
The Count said, "Is that so......?" Ahem...... Wait a minute, I'll have someone open the door for you. Damn it, you fools, don't shut up the dogs so as not to disturb my guests. Also, go open the door to my guests. I'll clean up the living room, and I'll have a guest in a while, and remember to brew my treasured black tea. ”
"Yes. The panicked voices of the servants came from the loudspeaker.
After a while, the gate of the castle opened to Ye Jian and the others with a loud rumbling sound.
Looking inside, it was already brightly lit. After the long passage, you can vaguely see the luxurious decoration inside.
Taking advantage of the moment of opening the door, Ye Jian pulled Lu Ming and pointed his finger to the ground. Lu Ming nodded knowingly.
Ye Jian turned to everyone and said loudly: "Class 5 and Class 6 hand over the weapons to the others, and go in with me to search." Shifts 1, 2, 3, and 4 were on standby, and after an hour I didn't come out and attacked with all my might. ”
"Yes. ”
