Chapter 77: The Camp Approaching Late
The three of us were busy helping Lao Wu stop the bleeding in his right arm, and Quanzi jumped out of the snow nest and began to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the surroundings, and only after making sure that there were no other snipers did we dare to raise our heads boldly.
The climate on the snowy mountains is constantly changing, and when we came down the mountain, the weather was fine but suddenly it started to fog. I glanced at my watch and found that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the dark in the Kunlun Snow Mountain was much later than in the mainland, so we don't have to worry too much about the unfavorable situation of the dark now.
However, the sudden fog on this snowy mountain is not a good sign, and nine times out of ten it indicates the arrival of a snowstorm or strong wind. Now we are on a mountain ridge, and we can only silently pray in our hearts that God will not have a blizzard, otherwise the five of us will die without a place to bury.
At this time, Jeonko, who went to the side to capture the sniper, shouted at me, "Hey, come here, how is this a foreigner!" ”
The four of us crawled in the direction of Jeonko, and saw a man of Caucasian descent in white camouflage clothes lying in a hand-dug snow den, with a high nose and blond hair, lying on his back in the snow.
Quanzi had searched his entire body, and found that there was nothing else that could prove his identity, except for basic weapons and ammunition, some compressed biscuits, and a small half-bottle of water.
Lao Wu took a look at his surroundings and said, "He won't hide here for no reason, and he doesn't have any extra food on him, it seems that he is here for a short cover or just here to stand guard." ”
"Why do I think he's waiting for us to take the bait?" ”
At this time, Jeonko, who was checking his personal belongings, took out a photo from his underwear pocket, and scolded as soon as he saw it, "I knew that it had nothing to do with this shit." ”
Looking at such an angry Jeonko, I can tell who the person in the photo is even without looking at the photo.
Lao Wu took the photo and looked at it, his expression suddenly became serious, I glanced at it, and found that it was not Xiao Fan on the photo, it seems that this guy is really not an ordinary person, and there are people with his photos everywhere.
There was a group of foreign mercenaries looking for him in the sinkhole before, and now the foreigners in this snowy mountain are also looking for him, so the two groups of people on the snow they said can be basically determined, the first group is Xiao Fan, and the other group is the mercenary team in front of him.
"This may be someone from the Wang family, and it was the person from the Wang family who was looking for Xiao Fan in the sinkhole before!" Ah Fang speculated on the side.
"Nine out of ten of these people are Russians, and according to the current geographical strength, they should be from the Zhao family." Lao Wu suddenly shouted at this time, "It's not good, quickly move this person aside, and when his other partners find out, there will be another vicious battle." ”
Lao Wu's words make sense, this guy is definitely a sentinel, because we have been well hidden in front, and they can't possibly find out that we are following them behind. If he was just a sentry standing guard, then his base camp should be around here.
At this time, Ai Qin, who was observing the terrain on the other side, suddenly shouted, "Come here, I have found their camp." ”
At this time, the fog on the mountain was already very large, if the four of us kept a little distance, we could only see a few vague shadows, the four of us followed Ai Qin's voice to touch it, and not far away there was a big fault on the cliff in front, we lay on the cliff, through the infrared telescope to see a few blurred lights and shadows under the mountain not far away.
"Get out of here quickly, find a safe place to camp first, the fog is getting bigger and bigger, maybe there will be a snowstorm later!" The fifth child greeted us.
"What about this man?" At this moment, Quan Zi tied up the mercenary strong man on the ground with a lot of flowers, and raised his head and asked.
"I can only take him first, and when he wakes up, he may be able to ask something useful!" I said.
"We really need to find a place to camp as soon as possible, the fog is expected to get bigger and bigger, and we continue to spend time halfway up the mountain, the more dangerous it becomes." Ah Fang urged on the side.
I replied, "Now is not the time to be in a hurry, don't forget that we are now on a snowy mountain, and blind action will only make the next action passive." We were also negligent just now, and forgot to expand some of the search area around here. ”
"This guy didn't give us a chance at all." Jeonko said.
"That's right!" Ai Qin suddenly interjected, "I glanced in that direction just now before the fog was foggy, and it was the place where the lights were shadowing below. "There seem to be two flat fields there, one on top and one below, and we can go there and see." ”
"I think so, the closer we get to them, the safer we are, both to guard against their sneak attacks and to monitor their activities." ”
Lao Wu waved his hand to indicate that he had no opinion. We immediately followed Aichen and began to set off halfway up the other mountain. The mercenary man won't wake up for a while, because the power of this tranquilizer bomb is huge, and it was originally used by us to deal with fierce beasts, but now let him be a guinea pig, to say the least, it can make him unconscious for more than four hours, plus the whole child's big tie, we don't have to worry about what moths he can do for the time being. Quanzi loaded him with a sleeping bag, and then I pulled him left and right with him, and slowly dragged him down the mountain.
Snow-capped mountains are no better than land, and there is no shortcut from one mountain to another. But fortunately, the footprints of the previous group were still there, and it didn't take much effort for us to follow them.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, we finally approached the camp of the group in front of us, and the air was filled with the strong smell of liquor, and from time to time there were bursts of cheers.
We didn't dare to venture here, Ai Qin took a general look at the terrain, turned back to us and said, "They are above, just as we go below, we go down from here, it should be difficult for them to find us." ”
We were in the southwest corner of their camp, with a steep slope. A few of us bent on our waists, and we rushed down from here, and soon came to the top of the gentle slope that Aichen had described. The six of us were able to pass under their noses so smoothly, and we have to thank this inexplicable fog.
This is not a small gentle slope, just obscured by a jutting mountain wall, and is indeed an ideal camping spot. We quickly set up our tents, and then the cautious Quanzi went to check the surrounding terrain again, and after making sure that the mercenaries above did not find us, he hurried back to the tent.
In order to avoid detection, we gave up lighting the lights, and although it was very foggy outside, there was still a minimum of light at the moment.
Before the sniper woke up, the five of us got together and quickly rehydrated and rehydrated.
After that, Lao Wu and I stood on the first shift, and at this time, Lao Wu, who had lost a little bit of blood, looked very haggard. The most taboo thing in this icy and snowy place is to get hurt, and the most feared thing about injury is bleeding, because this will greatly consume your body temperature and calories. Many people basically die in the end not because of excessive blood loss, but because the calories are reduced too much, they are frozen to death by the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero.
The old five, who was full of worries, was looking at his arm in a daze, I handed over the half piece of chocolate in my hand, the fifth looked at it, waved his hand and said, "No need, the road behind is still long, don't worry, I won't die for a while." ”
"You see, they didn't say anything?" I know what Lao Wu is thinking at this time.
Lao Wu sighed and said a little casually, "God knows, I can go back alive this time." ”
I put my left hand on his right shoulder, "Nonsense, if you die, the four of us probably won't be able to get out of this snowy mountain alive." ”
Lao Wu looked at the vague snow-capped mountains in front of him and said, "The power of nature is so vast and magical, and there are many things in this snow-capped mountain that we don't know." We live so desperately, we have tossed all our lives for the broken stone that we have never seen once, and it is estimated that we will not know what we are doing in this life until we die, and what we are trying to figure out......" Lao Wu said, his tone almost choked.
"Everyone has their own choice, but it seems that we have no choice!" I continued with his words, "Since there is no longer a choice, then try to figure out something that others have not figured out, and it will not be in vain to live this life." ”
"You are still young, and there is still a long way to go!" Lao Wu said, "Unlike me, when I am a certain age, the things I worry about and care about are also beginning to increase, and the more troubles come with it." If you can't let go of many things, you will become a demon. ”
"You're not much older than us, and besides, you can't let go of anything, aren't we all still with you!" I advised.
"You won't understand it!" Lao Wu said in a low voice, "I hope you all remember that I want you to live well, not for anything else, just for yourself." ”
I don't know what Lao Wu wants to express at the moment, his words sound so nonsensical. If I was in normal times, I would definitely laugh at him, but at this moment after listening to his words, I also felt very helpless and sad, up and down again and again, and again and again, so that we all understand how precious life is.
Yes, how good life is, how good it is to live, wouldn't it be better to live all the time! Nine and a half out of ten people think so. Since the moment of human birth, human beings have been constantly studying how to prolong their lives, with the development of the times, this pursuit of immortality, the desire for immortality is getting stronger and stronger, and there are many scientific research units are studying this topic, so it is not difficult to explain why such people are desperate to find the stone of eternal life.
"Hey, I don't want to disturb you, but this must be the fifth man, the mercenary is awake!" Ah Fang in the back suddenly said to us.
