Chapter 105: The Crow's Troubles
The afternoon sky was gloomy, and at some point, the sun had taken refuge in the thick dark clouds, and the sky was covered with damp moisture. The gray-black clouds pressed down from the sky, and they seemed to be pressing down on people's hearts.
The wind had stopped, and the prairie was hot and oppressive, and the moisture hiding in the air made everyone's clothes damp, and the sticky sticky sticky to their bodies was particularly uncomfortable. This kind of weather makes the mercenaries who are active in the central and southern parts of the Maple Leaf for most of the day very uncomfortable, and only the crows from the warm and humid Hedong region are barely used to it.
The sudden gloomy weather also had a certain impact on the mercenaries, at least their mood had become worse now.
No one sang, no one talked, no one even laughed, and the post-war convoy moved forward in silence. On the second day after leaving the starting place, they suffered a head-on blow, which was not a pleasant thing after all, and the weather factored in that the mercenaries were no longer interested, and they were in the same good mood as when they first set off.
What's more, there is also the order of the crow, he demanded that on the basis of the convoy moving at full speed, all the guards should not allow any waste of physical strength, and should adjust their state to the best on the road, ready for more fierce battles at any time.
This kind of requirement can be understood, in the wilderness, always have to prepare for the best, make the worst preparations, since no one knows whether bad luck will come one after another, then you can only always be ready to face the next battle, even if you have just gone through a fierce battle, even if most of the people have been injured, you still have to force yourself to recover as soon as possible, otherwise the next battle, maybe the last battle in your life.
The body of the deceased was not taken on the road together, not even buried on the spot, the mercenaries only took away the deceased's belongings, and as for the body of the deceased, it could only be left in the place where he fought last. It's not that the mercenaries don't respect the deceased, but that the mercenaries ask for money and rewards from the wilderness when they are alive, and bury themselves in the wilderness after death, so that the corpse can be turned into nourishment for the wilderness, and return the income of their lives to the wilderness, such reincarnation is the fate of most mercenaries.
Of course, if it is more realistic, the mercenaries need to be vigilant for danger in the wilderness, it is simply unrealistic to take the corpse on the road together, even if it is buried on the spot, it will soon be dug up and eaten by the beasts, rather than this, it is better to let the deceased return to the earth.
The high-level mercenaries can see the current depression of ordinary mercenaries, at least the crow can see it, but he has no intention of intervening. If a young mercenary wants to grow, he must learn to face blows, learn how to break free from loss, and if he can't, he might as well die quickly so as not to cause trouble for his teammates.
So the crow didn't pay any attention to the young people of the backlit mercenary group, he just shrunk in the sidecar of the locomotive, his fingertips lightly tapping the metal sidecar, frowning and thinking about his own thoughts.
Raven is a person who likes to plan, everything is planned and then acted, just like this journey, although he used to travel around every day and didn't seem to care at all, but in fact, he has already made a detailed plan for the itinerary. In his plan, the Liuqu Grassland would take three days for the caravan, and before dark on the third day, the convoy could just enter Wangshan City on the edge of the grassland to rest and prepare for the later entry into the Jiaoli Corridor.
However, according to the current situation, it is very likely that it will take at least three hours longer than planned for the convoy to repair the vehicles and inspect the goods after the convoy is camped today, otherwise it will affect the rest of the convoy, and then affect the combat effectiveness of the convoy.
That is to say, the construction of the camp, which should have started at four or five o'clock, must be one or two o'clock in advance, that is, it starts now, and the lack of walking three or four hours today means that it is impossible to enter the city before dark tomorrow, which means that all subsequent schedules will have to be changed, and it is no wonder that the crow is unhappy now.
"Mr. Raven. Except for those high-level mercenaries, the only one in the team who dared to talk to the crow when he was unhappy was Boss Mi, who was the employer, "You don't have to have such a headache at all, I calculated it, in fact, it's just a matter of backing all the trips by one day, except for the date, your plan doesn't need to be modified at all." ”
"I'm worried about something else. On the radio, the crow said absentmindedly, "It's nothing if we miss the day here, what about the other three convoys?" The Jiaoli Corridor is only two or three hundred kilometers wide at the most, and the narrow place is only less than ten kilometers wide, and the four convoys could have staggered the time to pass in turn, but now that we are wrong by one day, the itinerary of the other convoys can only be disrupted. ”
"Mr. Raven, you're underestimating other people too. Mi Xin chuckled, and through the radio, she seemed to be able to see her gently shaking her head, "Those convoys are also experienced old mercenaries, they have their own plans, so don't worry about them." ”
"Maybe. The crow said noncommittally, "I'll think about it again." ”
"What are you worried about?" The crow's excuse can hide Mi Xin, but he can't hide the rose next to him at all, the cold rose didn't even look at it, but he has already seen through the crow's mind, and after he turned off the radio, he said, "Heh, I understand, you want to get rid of the tail behind you as soon as possible." ”
"Hehehehehe. The crow pushed his glasses and smiled gloomily, "There are many dreams in the night, what if they change their minds? What if they flee back to the city of chaos? The most important thing is that one more day will give them more danger of contact with the caravan, and if they and the caravan solve the misunderstanding, the plan to kill people with a knife will be frustrated, and we will no longer be able to pretend to be innocent, and let them suffer a dumb loss." ”
"There's no need to worry about things that can't be changed, do you still need me to tell you this truth?" Rose showed a rare gentleness, and instead of watching coldly, she said with a sneer, "You weren't stupid by the hidden thorn, were you?"
"Ha, that's right, tangling doesn't change anything, it seems that killing an idiot casually makes me a little overexcited. The irritability on the crow's face subsided in a blink of an eye, and he turned on the public channel of the radio and gave an order to each vehicle, "Attention all vehicles, now begin to prepare for camping." ”
"I'd suggest wait. Cao Jue's voice came out of the radio for the first time today, "You'd better come and take a look, I found something interesting." ”
