Chapter 43: Straight to the Yellow Dragon
Heaven and earth are clear, as if they have been washed by water. Although the sun has not yet risen, everything in nature is clear and bright.
All the members of the Creeper Special Operations Team and Boss Wu, under the leadership of Boss Zhou of the Martial Arts Team, abandoned the main road and chose a more direct path, through the jungle, across a field of crops, to the last den of the bandits......
This bandit's den is just below a nameless stone hill at the northern end of the town, this mountain is extremely inconspicuous, it is just a very ordinary stone mountain, if you have to find a strange place to come out, it is probably because there is a huge cave at the point of it.
The entrance to this cave is not large, and people have to hunch their waists to enter and exit, and people with long legs can only enter and exit on their knees.
But when you enter the cave, your previous views and opinions are completely overturned, as if you have entered another space that has nothing to do with the entrance of the cave. The size of a three-room house with smooth walls and few raised stones is staggering, with a height of three to five feet and a little more than a foot in the low. People walk freely in the midst of it, without worrying about their bodies touching stones.
About this cave, Boss Zhou once talked with the local elderly people, they think that the ancestors did not know the origin of this cave, but there have been many stories about this cave, all of which are absurd and do not need to be repeated. In short, the cave has a long history, and no one knows the background of its formation. It is even less clear whether the cave was excavated artificially or naturally.
As soon as Qiao Xiaojing and the others walked out of the crop field, they vaguely heard the sound of horses roaring in front of them, and everyone was immediately shocked, with a complicated expression on their faces, including the excitement of longing for the final victory, and of course, inexplicable fear and nervousness.
"It's not far off," the boss felt the change in the mood of his comrades, he pretended to be calm and said very calmly, "We will walk along the side of the mountain, and we will see the last lair of this gang of bandits in less than a hundred meters." ”
"Great," that Boss Wu is a battle-hardened veteran after all, he knows that at this time, everyone must believe in victory, must have unwavering faith, must have the determination to overcome everything, he said with a smile, "The opportunity to achieve the final victory has come, defeating the bandits who are equal to our troops, without worries, is like picking up something." ”
"Yes," the boss said in a timely manner, "Boss Wu is right, two of the three bandit dens have been lost, and this one is left, neither worrying about the bandits rushing to help, nor worrying about the enemy on the back, it can be said that we have ushered in a beautiful situation where we can fight how we want." ”
With this, the five members of the Creeper Special Operations Team suddenly became relaxed, their expressions stretched a lot, and a smile appeared on their faces, and the nervous and fearful mentality they had had before gradually subsided, replaced by a desire for victory.
"Now that we've come to this point," Qiao Xiaojing finally spoke, she said, "We don't have to worry about making a fuss anymore, we used short knives before, and this time our weapon of choice is a machine gun with high lethality and fast movement." ”
"Great!" the big man sighed first, "and with the gun, I'd like to see how many times these bastards can toss." ”
"It's better to have a gun," Jade said, "after all, it's more convenient than a knife, you don't need to get close to hand-to-hand combat, you can kill the enemy at an angle." ”
"Finally," Ah Zi said excitedly, "I can finally let go of my hands and feet to do a battle, the first two battles are too enjoyable, and I can't shoot, and I can't have too much movement, let alone use my fists and feet, although the battle is won, but I always feel that I have nowhere to go, and I still feel a little aggrieved in my heart, this time I want to release all the emotions that have been suppressed for so long." ”
"Oh my God," Dazhi said with a smile, "the next thing is going to shake the mountain, and the bandits will die a miserable death, but I really can't bear to see that innocent cave suffer." ”
"What do you mean?" the big man snapped.
"Didn't you hear that?" Dazhi said seriously, "With Ah Zi's current mood, I will be in a hurry later, the bandits are all dead, I can't control my emotions, and I can't bite the cave with my teeth!"
Everyone covered their mouths and didn't dare to laugh out loud.
"Dazhi," Na Zi gritted his teeth, glared, and said fiercely, "If you don't have something serious to do, you see that I won't tear your mouth apart." You wait for me, this is not over, when this battle is over, I have to bite you to death. ”
"I'll wait," said Dazhi with an indifferent look, "I'll wait for you to bite me, and I'll throw you two bones when the time comes." ”
"You~ better shut your dog's mouth for me!" That Ah Zi heard that Dazhi treated her as a dog, and immediately became angry, and before he finished two sentences, he threw the short knife in his hand at Dazhi.
When everyone saw this sudden scene, they were all shocked and surprised, and it was too late to stop it.
Fortunately, Na Dazhi kept peeking at Ah Zi, so he had time to dodge, and let the short knife glow with cold light, only to see that the short knife hit a stone, and the strength of the short knife was visible with the splash of rubble. Although Dazhi was in danger, he panicked in his heart for a long time, his body was like no bones, leaning against the stone wall, slumped on the ground, half-open mouth and panting.
A common joke almost caused a disaster, which is something that no one expected. The eldest man and Cuiyu rushed forward to comfort the frightened Dazhi, while Qiao Xiaojing, Boss Wu and Boss Zhou dragged Ah Zi aside to persuade him......
At this moment, suddenly a bullet flew over and hit the protruding stone that Qiao Xiaojing and the others were dodging.
Everyone was shocked, and they all leaned against the wall, their guns pointed forward, and they looked for the person who fired the gun in panic, but strangely they searched for a while but saw no one.
"Hurry up!" Qiao Xiaojing said, "Everyone get closer, the bullet is loaded, put your fingers on the trigger, pay attention to the protection of the front and back, the left and right, quickly pass through here, find a way to get close to the bandits' den, and attack the cave as quickly as possible." ”
"Who the hell was just now?" said Jade, a question shared by everyone.
"Don't think about it," Qiao Xiaojing firmly believed in her judgment and blurted out, "It must be bandits, which common people have guns?" The bandits have already discovered us, so we have to hurry to the bandits' den, otherwise they are likely to escape." ”
"The marksmanship is too bad," the boss sighed that week, "There are so many of us, and none of us have hit the target." ”
"I don't think so," Qiao Xiaojing said, "The bandit's mind is not on us at all, and it's not to hit anyone, his purpose in doing this is very simple, that is, to report the news to the bandits in the cave." The robbers could surely hear the gunshots, and they took advantage of the time we were on the road to pack up their belongings and ride away calmly. ”
"Makes sense!" Boss Wu thought that Qiao Xiaojing's judgment was reasonable.
"So," Qiao Xiaojing continued, "we don't have much time left, we must rush to the bandits' den as quickly as possible and intercept the bandits who are about to escape, otherwise our recent efforts will be in vain." ”
"Let's work hard," Cuiyu also said, "We have eradicated two bandit dens, and we are very close to the goal of returning the hometown Haiyan Heqing, we must not let the remnants of the bandits escape, let alone let this anti-bandit operation become a game of anticlimactic snakes." ”
Qiao Xiaojing took the lead in running in front of the team with a gun, and the battle team of seven people came along the root of the mountain towards the cave where the bandits' den was located. Soon the neighing of horses was heard, and the sound became clearer and clearer, and from time to time human voices could be heard.
Coming to the corner, Qiao Xiaojing motioned to her teammates behind her to squat, she leaned against the stone wall, and slowly looked at the sound, the scene in front of her surprised her, she saw several horses standing outside the bandits' den, several bandits were moving things out of the cave, and many things had been put on horseback, fortunately running and hurrying, otherwise these hateful guys might have left.
"The bandits want to escape," Qiao Xiaojing ordered, "quickly, spread out into a frontal attack, fully suppress the formation, and fire fiercely at the bandits, even if they can't kill the bandits outside the cave, they must be forced into the middle of the cave, and they must not be allowed to escape." ”
As soon as the words fell, Jade and the others shot at the cave together, only to see countless bullets coming towards the cave like fiery snakes flying out. Bullets were flying everywhere, and the dust was all over the sky, and the bandits didn't expect Qiao Xiaojing and them to act so quickly, and the money they had stolen was still in their hands, so they were disrupted by the people who came, and the people called the horses neighed, and they were in a mess, and there was no effective resistance at all.
In the blink of an eye, the jade and they formed a fan, although the cave was high, they were in a low position, and it was a back-attack, but they still formed a comprehensive suppression of the bandits' cave.
"Don't be afraid to waste bullets," Qiao Xiaojing walked towards the cave while shooting, and instructed her comrades-in-arms, "As long as these beasts who bully the weak and fear the hard, rob homes and houses, and do all kinds of evil are destroyed, even if all the bullets are gone, it will be worth it." ”
"Yes!" The team members haven't fought so happily for a long time, with Qiao Xiaojing's words, can they not be excited?
In the blink of an eye, perhaps because Qiao Xiaojing's firepower was too strong, except for one of the bandits outside the cave, the rest shrank into the cave regardless of whether they were injured or not.
With the natural barrier of the cave, the bandits had a chance to breathe, they also took up their weapons and began to attack Qiao Xiaojing and them, and the exchange of fire between the two sides continued for a while, but there was no substantial progress.
Qiao Xiaojing ordered his teammates to stop attacking, and adopted the usual strategy of the ancients, so that everyone found corn stalks and dead branches, suppressed them with firepower, and stacked these things not far from the entrance of the cave, ignited them, and immediately smoke billowed out.
The cave sucked in the wind, and the choking smoke entered the cavern......
