Absconding from the barracks, we stopped under a large tree.

"Brother, where are we going?" The boy's excitement had not yet subsided.

I glanced at him and didn't answer his question, and of course I couldn't tell him what I was going to do, for the lives of the eighteen craftsmen were at stake.

After thinking about it, I decided to get rid of this burden, "You go back!" ”

The boy was stunned, "Why?" ”

"This is a mission that I need to do alone, and in absolute secrecy." I fooled the boy.

"I don't, I have to follow you."

"The place I'm going to is very dangerous, and I have to face real knives and guns, and if I'm not careful, I will take my life."

"Then I have to go, I have to protect you."

"The enemy is a gang of bandits, all of them are extremely vicious, all evil, full of evil, the male will first cut off your bird, and then throw it into the food bowl to feed the dog, and the female will rape you first and then kill if she catches you, without mercy."

The boy shrunk his neck in fright, "So powerful? ”

"I'm afraid!"

The boy looked at my face, "Don't be afraid, if that's the case, I'll have to follow you!" ”

"Why?"

"I'm going to protect your birds!"

Looking at this hob meat, I felt my blood surge, "Don't you understand human words, if you want to be verbose, I'll strangle you first before leaving." ”

Looking at my vicious appearance, the boy moved back, "Brother, how do I feel that you are those bandits?" I don't care where you go anyway, I'll go wherever you go. I was besieged by those people, you took action to protect us, we cooperated very well, and we will definitely be the best partners in this mission. ”

"I ask you at the end, will you go back?"

"If you don't go back, if you want you to go back, I'll tell everyone about your escape from the barracks." The boy said angrily.

I sighed secretly, I was being pinched again, and it wasn't fun at all. Since he didn't cry when he didn't see the coffin, I just had to find another way.

It is more than 60 kilometers away from the big wolf mountain, I can't take the big road, I can only go over the mountains and mountains, jump over the stream, day and night, I don't believe it, 60 kilometers of running can't get rid of you little bastard.

After thinking about it, I nodded, "Okay, I can take you with me." Next, you follow me, don't fall behind, just shout bitterness, call tiredness, and you will go back. Do you understand? ”

The boy rejoiced, "Yes, sir. After saying that, there was a standard military salute.

I looked at the boy, "You're a weird." ”

I chose the right direction and ran all the way.

The boy followed closely behind me, getting more and more excited, "Brother, what mission we are carrying out this time, you have to explain to me." ”

"It's a rescue mission, we're going to rescue a bunch of scientists."

The boy suddenly said, "Ha, I see, those bandits kidnapped our scientists and forced them to make the ultimate murder weapon, and we were ordered to rescue them, thwart the bandits' plot, and defend the world." ”

I looked at the boy with a confused expression, what is this guy in his head, it's a pity not to write a novel.

"We are working hard for the great, glorious and just cause of mankind. Brother, should we give our mission a code name? The combination of the two of us also had to have a fork name. ”

"Look at it."

"Is such a heavy task entrusted to me? Ha, that's great. The boy followed me and thought, "Our mission is called a rescue mission, no, this is too straightforward, people will know what we are going to do when they hear it." I'll have to think about it. ”

I listened to the boy's chatter, "Our mission code name should be nice and domineering, I consider using the name of a famous migratory bird, a resident bird in the tropics or a well-known small bird of prey as a code name, and even some species are birds that breed in high latitudes and go to the tropics to winter, so the name is high-end and atmospheric, how about calling it the Sparrow Project?" ”

I laughed, this kid tossed for a long time and took such a dirty name, the boy grinned, "Brother, I'm teasing you, right, although we are on a special mission, but we also have to be optimistic, I have already thought about it, our plan is called the Swift Project." Swifts are extremely fast birds, which can show our killer agility and efficiency. ”

"Well, that's okay."

"Brother, you agreed, then I announced the official start of the Swift Project, brother, you wait for me. Now that we have a code name for the operation, why don't the two of us have to take a code name for each of us, I can't call you Billy, you call me Carl. ”

That's when I learned that the boy's name was Carl, "You can do it." ”

"Okay, let me think about it, our combination is called the best partner, your code name is Big Wolf, and my code name is Xiao Miao. The wolf and the embarrassment are two animals that are often together, which fits well with our combination name. ”

A black line instantly appeared in my head, "Pull it down, there is an idiom in China called embarrassment, are we two bad guys?" ”

Carl smiled sheepishly, "Then what's your name?" ”

I thought about it, I really can't reveal my true identity, and I should have a name, but it's not for fun. "When I am on a mission, I will call you little brother, and you can just call me big brother."

Kale shook his head again and again, "Brother, this is a title, not a code name, there is a book in China dedicated to heroes, which says that one hundred and eight heroes and heroes have come to a super group, and each of them has a code name." ”

I know that he is talking about a famous book called "Water Margin", and the funny thing is that Carl thinks that one hundred singles and eight generals are actually a super combination, and their nicknames are understood as code names, but it is not surprising that Carl, a boy with a big brain, made such an understanding.

"Then let's stop naming ourselves, my name is Timely Rain, and your name is Zhiduoxing."

Carl slapped his hand, "These two names are good, brother, just now you saved me, you can afford the reputation of timely rain, I am extremely smart, isn't it just a Zhiduoxing?" "Carl really does put a top hat on himself.

After a night's run, we had walked more than forty miles, and when the sky was light, Carl and I sat on the top of the mountain to rest.

Karl asked, "Brother, what did you just use to beat those GIs?" ”

"Slingshot!"

"No, big brother, can you hit the slingshot so accurately?"

"That's nothing, it's just that I've played since I was a child, and I'm just familiar with it."

"Then you can show me." I pulled out my slingshot and threw it to Carl, along with a few marbles. My slingshot was made from the branches of a tree, and the marbles were supposed to be steel or iron balls, but because they were so valuable, I had to sift through the river to sift through the round pebbles of the right size, and I could not exhaust them.

Karl picked up a few marbles and shot them at a tree twenty meters away, the first two missed, and the third didn't hit the trunk until the third. He said with annoyance, "Why can't I shoot accurately?" Isn't it very powerful? ”

I said to him: "The power of the slingshot is not only determined by the tension of the band and the rebound speed of the band, the greater the tension of the band, the heavier the marble, the faster the band can provide a greater muzzle velocity to the marble, and the heavier the marble, the higher the muzzle velocity, the more powerful." But only the elasticity of the rubber band is not enough, in the case of the appropriate tension of the rubber band, the use of muscle strength, coordination of the slingshot forward and backward pull, the use of forearm, wrist bending energy storage, so that the pull is launched, there should be the effect of whipping when firing, in order to maximize the strength. ”

"As for what you said about shooting inaccurately, in fact, it is a natural defect of the slingshot, the accuracy of the slingshot can never be compared with a firearm, the accuracy of the slingshot depends on the way you pull the bow, the stability of the hand, the judgment of the distance, the type of projectile, and most importantly, the proficiency, which is similar to the skill of archery."

"Proficiency is very important, when you use the slingshot, you have to release the leather pocket neatly, and the action is done in one go, and the action is completed to complete the action of shooting. Then judge the landing point of the marbles, correct the deviation, this will take more practice, the final result of proficiency is the unity of the human bow, easy to come, I often use the slingshot to kill the birds, if you wait for the bow to aim everywhere, the birds have already flew. ”

Carl listened with a wink, and asked tentatively, "Brother, how accurate can you be?" ”

I smiled and plucked a thumb-sized leaf from my side, "You take the leaf and walk twenty meters away." ”

Carl was suspicious, took the leaf and walked more than twenty meters before stopping, holding up the leaf and waving it to me, "Is it okay here?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, I picked up my slingshot, and a marble shot out, and before Carl could react, the marble had already knocked down the leaf he was pinching with two fingers. Karl hurriedly withdrew his hand, crouched on the ground in fright, and craned his neck to watch the broken leaf fall to the ground.

He ran over excitedly, "Brother, you are so good, I will take it." In the future, you will be my own brother, teach me this style. ”

"There's nothing to teach, it's just a lot of practice."

Carl took the slingshot and aimed around, and I corrected his posture from time to time, like many people, Carl held the slingshot vertically, in fact, the horizontal grip is the correct way, my father told you, some of the Chinese magic bullets are horizontal, so as to maximize the strength of the slingshot.

After eating a few pieces of beef jerky, we continued on our way, and Carl picked up some pebbles as he ran, practicing the slingshot test, and I sometimes told him some tips and tricks. I found that Carl is very talented in shooting, his judgment of the target is very accurate, and his hand is good, and after half a day, he shoots hundreds of small stones, and his gestures are actually so interesting.

Towards noon, we ran the remaining fifteen kilometers, and the Great Wolf Mountain was already in sight. Unexpectedly, Carl didn't fall behind and still followed me closely, which made me admire the physical strength and endurance of this big boy.

I don't dare to go near the Big Wolf Mountain anymore, at this time the red sun is at the head, and if I break into the Big Wolf Mountain in broad daylight, I will have to let the gunmen of the Bryden Police Department shoot me if I am not careful, I don't want to touch this moldy head.

The best time is at night, when we sneak in under the cover of night, so there is still half a day of rest in the afternoon, and we are a little tired from the long run, so we find a safe place, and we first lean against the stones and fall asleep.

I slept until late in the evening.

When I woke up, Carl was still asleep, I looked at Carl and suddenly thought that this was the best time to get rid of him, and if I left quietly, Carl would have to go back to the barracks alone.

I packed my backpack, picked up my rifle, and prepared to leave.

After walking a few steps, the sleeping Carl muttered, "Project Swift, we are the best partners." ”

Somehow, my heart was tugged at a moment, and I looked back at this big boy who had no city, from the moment we met, he treated me as a big brother, and firmly followed me to carry out tasks that did not exist at all, innocent and cute, and ignorant and ridiculous, but from him I seemed to see a shadow of my former self.

It's just that I can't take him to Big Wolf Mountain, from my father, I know that the people of the police station have surrounded Big Wolf Mountain, Carl has the enthusiasm of a teenager, but he has no real field experience, this kind of experience is what I gained by fighting with wild beasts in the wasteland, and it was also taught by my father. With no experience, he rushed in, and he could only be sent to death.

I don't want such a boy to lose his life in vain, so I really can't take him with me.

I put the slingshot I had with me to his hand and quietly walked away.

Under the cover of night, I sneaked into the Big Wolf Mountain. I've been to this mountain many times, and once Nemo and I stayed on the mountain for three days.

After a new rain, mushrooms appeared in the pine trees, fresh and delicious, and these mushrooms were also the rations of the wild boars, so I easily hunted a wild boar that time.

However, it was too difficult to carry the wild boar down the mountain, so we finally decided to enjoy the food ourselves. Nemo used his skillful knife skills to peel and wash the wild boar, and I set up a charcoal fire to roast the wild boar meat piece by piece, and the two brothers ate three beautiful meals to eat half of it, and the remaining half was really unable to eat, so I simply threw it into the valley.

The night of Big Wolf Mountain is deep, and even if the moon is in the sky, it is silent. A thick cloud quietly covered the crescent moon in the sky, and the towering stones and upright pines of the Great Wolf Mountain seemed to transform into giant beasts, opening their mouths, ready to devour all the people or beasts who dared to break into the mountain.

I hid my tracks without making a sound, ready to sneak into the mountains.

Suddenly, in the darkness of the night, I saw a tent shining in the valley. I was horrified, there were people there.

I clearly knew that this was a wilderness and there were no people at all.

Who is it? It's the people from the police department, or they came here to camp, and the only thing that is certain is that it will not be those Chinese craftsmen.

I decided to sneak over and find out. In my subconscious, 80% of the people there are from the police department.

If I were a sheriff, I would not have organized an attack on this moonlit night with high darkness and high winds, which would be tantamount to giving up my own advantages, relying on the strength of the crowd, wouldn't it be better to search the mountains in the daytime.

I slowly crawled towards the glimmer of light, trying not to make a sound.

It took me half an hour before I climbed near the tent and took shelter next to a boulder, surrounded by low bushes.

Suddenly, the curtain of the tent opened, and a man in a police uniform stepped out.

I held my breath and didn't make a sound.

The man walked straight up to me, my heart beat a little harder, did he find me?
