584 Joy and sorrow

Looking at the north again, it should also be a series of mountains, and there is no road until more than 20 kilometers away in WQ County, and the strategic depth is wide enough. It's a pity that neither the west nor the north of Hongtao can be chosen.

The former was reluctant to take such a risk, and the latter because the bear cave where Juma and the others were hiding was just a few kilometers to the north. If you flee north, you will lead the pursuers over, and if you don't keep it, you will find the hole.

So he chose the southwest direction, which seemed the most impossible and difficult to walk, here is a snow-capped mountain, more than 4,000 meters above sea level, with thick snow and ice cover that does not melt all year round, which is very difficult to climb.

What do you call surprise? Hong Tao likes to play this tune. He doesn't do what others think, but he is willing to try what others think can't be done. This time, too, he had to climb the cliff and climb over the nearly 4,000-meter Daban.

If the enemy is still chasing, he will cross the border west along the ridge into the territory of Kazakhstan. If the enemy doesn't chase him, he will go back to 3,000 meters below and find an opportunity to return to Bear Cave to join Juma and them to continue north.

The former assumption is almost impossible, and unless the Redeemer soldiers are all mountaineers and equipped with a full set of climbing equipment, they will not be able to climb the cliffs at all.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if they go up, the end may be even more tragic. Hunt down a man on foot in glaciers and ice caps above 4,000 meters above sea level...... The difficulty is comparable to finding a needle in a haystack, and the danger is to chase the fire.

The latter assumption is very easy to realize, and the Redeemer soldiers will not only be unable to catch up with the snowy mountains, but will also find it difficult to stay in the mountains for a long time, and supplies must be a big problem.

They can rely on the dry food they carry and catch small animals to make do with dozens of days, but it is difficult for the soldiers to do it. The more people there are, the more difficult it is to replenish them, and if the number of people is small, it will be impossible to do nothing, and within a few days the search operation will have to be stopped, and the large army will have to be evacuated.

Therefore, whether the pursuers made a detour to the west or not, he did not pay much attention to it, and he circled around the woods where he could not see his fingers, and in fact the ultimate goal was the cliff in the southwest.

The distance between it and the lake is about 6 kilometers, but it takes the same 6 hours or more to walk, which is accurate data that Hong Tao has explored on the ground.

Add in some ambushes and deliberate circles on the way, and the sky should be just bright and just right for the climb when you arrive. As long as they kept about an hour's distance with the pursuers, they could only look at the cliff and sigh, no matter how many weapons they wielded.

The plan was executed very smoothly, it was perfect, and with his familiarity with the terrain, Hong Tao led a group of pursuers over three mountain beams in a row, and successfully climbed the last mountain beam in the southwest when the eastern sky was just a little white.

"I hope you are obedient, don't come out and go around!" Looking at the black cliff a few hundred meters away, Hong Tao climbed the big tree again, condescendingly scanned a few laps with a heat aim, and only then breathed a sigh after confirming that there were no pursuers within a kilometer around.

As long as Juma and the two children stay honestly in the bear cave, danger will be farther and farther away from them. Presumably, after finding themselves on the cliff and heading south, the Redeemer pursuers will not wander aimlessly in this mountainous area even if they are unwilling, and will soon withdraw their troops.

After getting off the tree, Hong Tao did not rush to leave, but poured out all the things in his backpack, found water and dry food and packed them up while eating. In view of the high altitude of the rest of the journey, except for hiking tools, camping equipment, winter clothing, food and medicine, everything that is not necessary can be discarded.

Even weapons and ammunition have been reduced to a minimum, automatic rifles and magazines have been thrown away, pistols have been kept, and the main weapon has been replaced with a shotgun. If it weren't for the fear of encountering ferocious beasts along the way, he wouldn't even bother to bring a spear.

Once you get rid of the pursuers, you can get new supplies in the bear cave, and even if the pursuers don't retreat, you can still go north to Alashankou, where there is a backup base, and there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition.

"Yes, don't be heavyweight, it's almost the New Year, and I, as an elder, have to take out some red envelopes...... Don't be too little, that's what it means! Looking at the last few butterfly thunders that came out of the mezzanine of his backpack, Hong Tao smiled again.

He pulled all the bullets out of the rifle magazine, cut through the snow and buried them. Then they lined up a string of butterfly mines and stuffed them into the snow, the closest one buried with the bullet, and the farthest one was half a meter away.

If the pursuers were to search and advance from here, they would most likely find the snowdrift that had been clearly turned over, and if they were not in order, they would step on a distant mine, causing a series of explosions.

In the end, it is really not clear whether the bullet pile can detonate Hong Tao, try it, and it is not troublesome to piggyback. The pit man movement is to pay attention to the usual bits and pieces, and develop the habit of not letting go of any opportunity. Didn't the ancients say that they don't take the good as the small.

But the ancients were not Hong Tao's own father, they also said that happiness and sorrow begne! People are often unlucky when they are proud, because at this time, they are done, everything is under control, and the vigilance is the lowest.

Just when Hong Tao was pouting his ass and setting traps, fantasizing about how others would be fooled, and his body and mind were all beautiful, suddenly the hairs on his body stood up, and a dangerous aura appeared behind him, and it was very close, almost sticking to his back!

At this time, the usual caution saved his life again, even the rifle was thrown, and the two daggers that he was never willing to throw were just one inserted in the right calf, and the hand could be withdrawn without much movement.

“…… Hi ......" suddenly threw himself forward without warning, twisting his waist and raising his left arm to protect his neck, and his right arm stabbing backwards from his left armpit.

"Yike...... Burst...... Whew...... "The dagger met a lot of resistance, but the sharp edge broke through in an instant, and something was stabbed. At the same time, Hong Tao felt a sharp pain in his left forearm, followed by a beastly wail.

In the morning, the second wolf saw that the eldest brother and the third brother were knocked to the ground by the two-legged monster, so he ran west in one breath, and only after a few mountain beams did he dare to take a breath and rest.

There happened to be a hare that did not have long eyes and came out to wander around, and it was used as lunch. Although he said that he was not full, he could be regarded as having some food at the bottom, and he temporarily got rid of the dilemma of hunger and cold.

Whether it's an animal or a human, as long as there is food in the stomach, the brain will think a lot. It found a small leeward hole under the cliff, and lay down in it to recover its strength while pondering what to do next.

originally planned to run west to find the uncles and uncles to return to the group in one go, even if he had to be a junior brother according to seniority, he would work a lot all day and not eat much meat, but he could save his life.

But swallowing two hares alone makes it feel that it has the ability to continue to live in this mountainous area, which is a bit dangerous, but also very profitable. The prey caught is all their own, and no one needs to look at their faces.

As long as you can survive the winter, the food here is still very rich, and it is more than enough to feed the three brothers.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze, and I don't know how long I slept and was suddenly woken up. Although the sound is small, it is very harsh, and it is a big killing weapon in the hands of two-legged monsters!

Wolf Er was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, shrunk in the hole and held his breath for a long time and didn't dare to show his head. It began to regret it again at this time, regretting that it should not be greedy for enjoyment, if this place is really so easy to live, why do experienced uncles and uncles have to move west, it must not be able to live.

But after waiting for a long time, the sound in the distance became more and more sparse, and gradually regained its calm. The second wolf had the audacity to drill out and smell the probe, no, there was still the smell of a two-legged monster. After searching around, I finally found a monster crawling towards the cliff.

Although the night vision of the wolf clan is not excellent, it is also good, and the second wolf quickly judged the origin of this two-legged monster from the smell and appearance. Isn't it just the guy who buries iron clips in the valley every year, forces the uncles and uncles to move their families, and beats the eldest brother and third brother to death with a big killing weapon!

“…… Lao Tzu fought with you! "How to make a decision at this time, Wolf Er waited for another half an hour, and finally made up his mind after seeing the monster's outfit clearly.
