Chapter 49: The Desert (I)

In just a few breaths, the first brigade led by Zhang Bo had already arrived in the center of the Changqing River. It was at this moment that something happened suddenly.

Twenty meters directly in front of the first brigade, dozens of heads suddenly drilled out of the river. In the moonlight, you can clearly see that they are dressed in water, and each of them has a water-splitting thorn in their mouth! These people move very fast in the water, almost comparable to carp.

"Be ready to fight! Don't get tangled with them in the water, get over their heads. As soon as he saw someone coming out of the water, Zhang Bo didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered, "Work in pairs and take care of each other." After saying that, he pulled up one of the weakest classmates in the first team, jumped up first, and accelerated in mid-air, leaving those people in the water far behind.

Following Zhang Bo's order, the students of the first brigade found their partners according to the pre-arranged groups, jumped high together, and crossed over from a height of more than ten meters above the heads of those people in the water.

The people in the water watched in amazement at what was happening in front of them, even forgetting that they had to paddle to keep their balance in the water, until the river poured into their gaping mouths.

After passing over the heads of those men, Zhang Bo quickly led his companions to the water. The consumption in mid-air is too great, and it can't be delayed for too long, and this is only half over, so it's better to save some physical strength.

Zhang Bo nervously searched the surface of the water while carefully controlling his body to float downward, while his partner also raised his heavy sword and prepared for battle.

The branches under his feet had not yet touched the water, Zhang Bo was alert, and immediately lifted his breath and lightened his body, and with all his strength, he pulled up a meter high and rushed forward. I only heard a soft sound of "ding", and it was the partner next to him who blocked a sneak attack from the water with a heavy sword, which instantly made Zhang Bo break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, there was a deployment in advance, and the two people cooperated with each other, so they did not succeed in the opponent's sneak attack.

"Beware of sneak attacks on the water!" Zhang Bo shouted loudly regardless of his own safety, and issued a warning to the others.

At the same time as falling again, Zhang Bo commanded his partner to use his heavy sword to slash towards the water surface in advance, and the two heavy swords tacitly drew a cross slash to break the water surface into two deep ravines. Before the branches could settle down, Zhang Bo exerted his strength again and rushed forward with his partner.

There was a "ding-ding-ding" sound from behind him, and it was clear that everyone had already exchanged hands.

Controlling the branches under his feet, Zhang Bo went back to the original way. He is the captain of the first team, if the entire team can't successfully pass the blockade of the opponent, then what face does he have to meet Liu Yu!

The battle situation was much better than he expected, and the arrangement of Bian Yue played a key role. Working in pairs is indeed more conducive to the students fighting on the water than fighting alone. In the case of darkness and darkness, it is inevitable that a person will not be able to take care of it. Such a combination can effectively reduce the occurrence of this probability, and at the same time, the division of labor and cooperation can also allow everyone to do their best to play their own skills.

Suddenly encountered an ambush, and the students behaved differently. Some, like Zhang Bo, jumped up to avoid the opponent's attacks. Some don't dodge or dodge, and they kill a bloody way. Others, with their skills, easily dodged the opponent's interception and fled forward.

When Zhang Bo's first brigade was attacked, Liu Yu commanded the second brigade and the third brigade to quickly move closer to them. The opponent's sneak attack was obviously premeditated, and instead of scattering and being broken by the opponent, it was better to join forces and rush to the opposite bank as soon as possible while the opponent had not yet formed an encirclement. As long as they can get ashore, the other party may not be their opponent, after all, there is a big difference between fighting in the water and fighting on land.

Liu Yu's biggest advantage is speed, gliding on the water, the impact of the river's resistance on them is minimized, whether it is the speed of progress, or the speed of attack and defense, they are much faster than their opponents.

If the opponent doesn't carry out a sneak attack, he basically can't even touch their edges. And once they get rid of them, it is almost impossible to catch up with them.

Before crossing the river, Liu Yu had already given the order. In case of attack, it is strictly forbidden to fight, and the first priority is to get rid of the opponent and land as soon as possible. Therefore, when everyone was on guard, they quickly got rid of their opponents and desperately assaulted forward.

Seeing that they could no longer intercept Liu Yu's team, these people in the water all sank underwater under the greeting of the leader, and broke away from the battle with Liu Yu and them. And Liu Yu and the others did not slow down, and still advanced quickly to the opposite bank. No matter how wide the Changqing River is here, it will not exceed two thousand meters, that is, the time of a few breaths, Liu Yu and they are already close to the riverbank.

These people in the water are also full of helplessness, if they fight in the water, they can pat their chests and promise to capture all these students. But who knew that the students' way of crossing the river was so strange and fast, no matter how fast they swam, they could not catch up with each other, and could only watch the students go ashore safely.

Whizzing onto the river bank, turning around to look at the Changqing River, the water surface returned to the previous calm, and the students couldn't help but admire Liu Yu. No wonder he has been reluctant to go into the water, the ambush in this river is more difficult to deal with than on land, if it is in the water, I am afraid that few people can escape this catastrophe, right? And Liu Yu is also full of gratitude for being able to selflessly teach them this mental method, and he unconsciously has the idea that Liu Yu is still a very good commander.

While the students were secretly rejoicing, no one noticed that in the hidden place on the bank of the river, there was a group of about 100 captives who quietly left under the cover of night. There is nothing for them here, the other side has neither been hit hard nor dragged to exhaustion, and the complete lineup is not something they can fight against. Instead of going up to offer ugliness, it is better to wait for a better opportunity, anyway, there are still more than 200 kilometers ahead, and they have a chance.

After resting for a while on the bank of the river, the party set off again and headed for the second and last supply station on the march. Leaving this supply depot, they will head straight to Area 47 to complete the first mission assigned by the Wei Instructor.

Supply Station No. 2 was not far ahead, and after half an hour, they had eaten and drunk enough, took a beautiful hot bath, and slept comfortably on their beds.

After only sleeping for five hours, Liu Yu led his team to hurry forward in the night.

There are still seventeen hours until the assembly time at eight o'clock in the evening, which is quite generous, but I don't know if there will be any accidents on the rest of the road?

Forcefully putting aside the cluttered thoughts in his mind, Liu Yu strode forward. The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, what is there to worry about!

The scenery ahead is gradually becoming a little desolate, the road is gone, and there is no sign of human activity in sight. According to Zhou Sheng's report, the newly built railway was seven or eight kilometers to the right of the procession, extending westward. In the vicinity of the railway, no road guards were found patrolling.

"We're already in no man's land, so we have to stay in formation and be vigilant. At the same time, we have no supplies and we need to be prepared for a protracted war. Liu Yu looked at the sparsely vegetated and somewhat barren land around him, and frowned.

Although a lot of food and drinking water were replenished at the No. 2 supply station, who knows how long this mission will last? It is so desolate that it is not easy to survive in the wild! I don't know what kind of mission they will carry out next after assembling at the assembly point? All this is unknown now, and the mystery will only be revealed after reaching the assembly point.

Before you know it, it's already dawn, and the team stops for a brief rest, drinks water, and eats some dry food. There was no news from Zhang Tianqi in front, and everything seemed so calm.

Liu Yu squatted down and carefully inspected the ground under his feet. The lack of vegetation has made the soil here seriously desertified, and when I grab a handful and put it in the palm of my hand, the dry sand slides down from my fingers.

Liu Yu stood up and looked into the distance, and there was a yellow desert in front of him, and occasionally a few low boxwood trees were also dying.

"Zhou Sheng, have you found a water source in this vicinity?" asked Liu Yu to Zhou Sheng through a satellite phone.

"I haven't found it yet, it's too arid here! I don't know why there is such a barren and arid land near the Malayas Mountains?

"Regardless of how it came to be, you have to find a source of water as soon as possible. Without water, I'm afraid it's hard for us to last long, and the further we go, the more drought it gets. If we don't prepare in advance, we can die of thirst just by being thirsty, what kind of task are we going to perform!" Liu Yu commanded worriedly.

"Yes, Boss, I see. ”

"Pass my order, and everyone should check the kettle they are carrying, and see if there is any leakage. From now on, strictly limit the use of clean water and minimize unnecessary consumption!"

As soon as the sun showed its head, the earth became steaming. Under the scorching sun, the armor worn by the students was scorched hot, and the heat kept transmitting to it, like staying in a stuffy jar, covered in sweat. The clothes were completely soaked and clinging tightly to the body.

Walk on the soft sand, take one step at a time. As soon as you step on it, it immediately goes over your neck, and when you lift your foot, you bring up a lot of sand. Walking on this kind of road is very physically exertional, and many people are already gasping for breath, and the speed is getting slower and slower.

There was not even a shady place around, and even if you stopped to rest, you had to endure the scorching sun.

After a short break, Liu Yu redeployed. Zhang Tianqi was summoned back and the troops were united, leaving only Zhou Sheng's reconnaissance team to continue its activities on the periphery. Now they were walking along the railway, and everywhere else it looked the same, and it was impossible to discern the direction. Even Zhou Sheng's reconnaissance team tried not to be too far away, so as not to get separated. If you get lost in a place like this, you're really dead. (To be continued.) )
