518 Fire and water are merciless
In fact, Tian Yu didn't think that there was anything wrong with setting fire to the mountain, and it was much more merciful to burn the enemy to death than to be caught and tied to a telephone pole and burned to death. If a person can't cherish his own life, how can he value others?
The words just now stimulated Zhang Ke just a kind of envy and jealousy, and there should be no hatred. It is not uncommon for young officials like Zhang Ke to be in the East Asian Alliance, but he can be favored and trained by the top management in his early twenties, and he is also the founding father, and he is really the only scorpion!
But this guy is a bit high-minded, he usually doesn't mix in circles, and he is extremely picky about women, except for a few scandals with Lan Linger a few years ago, he seems to have never looked at any of them in his eyes, and she is also an unmarried girl, she will inevitably have some opinions.
“…… Smell it? There seems to be a fragrance...... Seeing that Zhang Ke didn't follow his topic, Tian Yu simply shrugged his nose and made a gesture of sniffing around. Not to mention, this female spy is also quite funny when she is cute, and her facial expression is very similar to that of a marmot on the grassland.
"Hahaha......" Both men were amused by Tian Yu's appearance and laughed together.
"It seems to be the smell of pine oil...... Buddha, mountain fires...... Look, there's smoke over there! But as soon as the laughter left his lips, Kawahaya's smile froze on his face, and he shrugged his nose, and turned to stare behind him, his expression was very strange.
"...... I'm such a crow's mouth! Wacker, President Wacker...... Quick, you two and our men quickly retreat, I'll go and inform Wacker! Zhang Ke turned his head in accordance with Chuan Zao's gaze, and his expression immediately froze. After a few seconds, he suddenly came to life, screaming and jumping forward like crazy.
"No, you can't go back the way you came, you can never run a wildfire on a windward slope with just two legs. Go up the ridge and climb the ridge to the leeward slope as fast as you can to survive! ”
Chuan Zao grabbed Zhang Ke and raised doubts about the order just now, Zhang Ke was the head of the observation group, and if he didn't change the order, no one could lead the team to change the route without authorization. If something happens to disobey an order without authorization, you will be fully responsible, and if something doesn't happen, you will have to go to a military court.
"Alright, the observation mission is under your command for the time being, run, and I'll catch up later!" Zhang Ke really doesn't have much experience in mountain warfare, but he has the advantage that he is willing to listen to the advice of professionals, even in front of his subordinates.
At the moment, he clearly handed over the command to Kazuo Kawahaya, and then ran forward while shouting. Unfortunately, none of the grey-robed adjudicators were willing to listen to him, and were still striding at the speed of a rapid march.
Rout, rout, there was not a single enemy behind him, but dozens of adjudicators and a small number of black-clothed soldiers ran faster than rabbits. There is no need to describe it as being able to escape, it is simply a crawl.
In order to increase the speed of climbing the mountain, weapons and ammunition, drinking water, food, and warm clothes were thrown away, and they used their hands and feet to run up in the mountains and forests. As you run, look up through the gaps in the trees to see the skyline in the distance, and climb over the winding ridge to dodge the fire dragon sweeping behind you!
From the time Kazuo Kawahaya discovered a wisp of green smoke rising from the southwest, to the time when Wake gave the order to retreat, the wisp of green smoke had already turned into a black pillar of smoke.
After another half an hour, the plume of cigarettes, which had only been two points, were connected. Although the flames were still nowhere to be seen, the mountain breeze blowing from the southwest had become warm, and burning ashes were falling from the sky from time to time.
An hour and a half later, the smoke sweeping from below and above made people cough and couldn't open their eyes, and the meandering line of fire was devouring the tall cedar trees one by one. Those thick branches with thick mouths were licked by tongues of fire as if they were thin matches, and they were burned into black sticks in dozens of seconds, and there were no branches and leaves.
The most terrible thing is the wind caused by negative pressure, the air is heated by the fire to hundreds of degrees and then rises rapidly, and the surrounding air is swept at almost the same speed in order to fill the gap, so that the originally small wind instantly increases several times.
The wind borrows the power of the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind! By the time it got dark, the fire had already licked up the ridgeline, and it slowed down slightly. Higher altitude lowers temperatures, sparse forests reduce combustibles, and winds weaken and lose momentum.
But the fire along the hillside to the east did not slow down, and in the darkness of the night, it was bright and dark, and a single cigarette could cross one valley and climb the other hillside.
Compared with the adjudicator who fled for his life, Hong Tao and the three of them had much more leisure, and they were eating dinner outside the village near the Sino-Kazakh border. There were traces of zombie activities in the village, Hong Tao didn't plan to go in, and there happened to be an empty yard like a border post in the north of the village, so he was simply temporarily requisitioned.
"Bijes, if there is a strong wind at night, this fire may cross the Yizhao Highway and burn all the way to Bagua City, where there is a pasture!"
After eating and drinking, leaning on the wooden bed, his legs were fully relaxed, and the kindness gene in Fang Wenlin's body was also ready to move, and he began to ponder the problem beyond the scope of personal survival.
Hong Tao is not satisfied with eating dry food every day, and those easy-to-carry foods are best saved for real mountain climbing, so when he went down the mountain, he grabbed two marmots and roasted them, and was pouring himself a bite of meat from the bar.
What, you can't light a fire at night, for fear of being discovered by the enemy? It doesn't exist, at least it's a random fire tonight, and unless the enemy is wearing fireproof bricks, they won't be able to bother with any fire.
But Fang Wenlin and Zhu Ma Bayi didn't eat a bite of meat, and said in unison that this animal was susceptible to pneumonic plague, that is, the Black Death that almost turned Europe upside down, and advised Hong Tao not to eat it.
Hong Tao has been in Xinjiang Province for eight years, and he basically has to taste all the wild animals he can meet, including snow leopards, black bears and golden eagles. Then a recipe is summed up, and the most delicious meat is often not the imposing animals on the surface, but the humble marmots and badgers.
"Shhh......h Ha...... yes, what have I done, how did I save you from such a burden. Why don't you complain about the first place of the life-saving benefactor, phew! ”
Spit out a bone from his mouth and drain the cap of the bottle in one gulp. Well, it's almost the same today, there are one, two, five, and the rest will be saved for later. Regarding Fang Wenlin's, only verbal criticism was raised.
The lame university teacher did well today, taking only three or four more breaks on the way over the mountains. Although sometimes the speech is not very good, it is reasonable to offset the merits and demerits without rewards and punishments.
"They broke one of my legs, and they were going to take Camilla away as a nun, how could I sympathize with those people. But don't you say that they are getting farther and farther away from us and can't catch up, there are also shepherds like you in the pastures north of Bagua City, isn't it that they are dying in vain! ”
Fang Wenlin didn't deny the grace of saving his life at all, and he didn't think that he was picking a bone in the egg, but he couldn't get used to Hong Tao's style of acting, and his murderous aura was too heavy. If you can be injured, you will definitely be killed, and if you can be stunned, you will still be killed.
What is the difference between this and the high-level of the redeemer who treats the outcasts as untreatables, and maybe even worse. Risking his life to lurk in the ghetto, just to wait for the day when the opportunity comes to overthrow those powerful guys, wouldn't it be a joke if the life-saver was like this.
"Someone like you, if you put it under my hands...... Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, let's get down to business. Girl, you always ask me where I'm going, but you never mention why you want to escape. As soon as you leave, the new nun has invalidated my special pass, and it will be difficult to get one again in the future, and it will be a big loss! ”
Listening to Fang Wenlin's words with his eyes closed can remind Hong Tao of Lan Di, who was just rescued ten years ago, although the two of them are not of the same race and have different cultures, they have a similar tone of compassion.
But now he no longer has the enthusiasm to talk with Randy all day long, peel off the cocoon, and think all the time to use facts to educate people and change their cognition, and he is even a little insensitive in the face of human suffering.
Whoever is not used to looking at himself should not look at it, if he wants to interfere with the death of a shot. I don't care if you're a redeemer or a rebel, and I won't open up because of Camilla or Yu Jia. But there is one thing that needs to be asked clearly, that is, the truth about their escape, and I haven't fully figured it out after pondering for so many days.
