Chapter 279: Attrition along the way
The old man quickly chose to go with them.
According to him, he hid from the rockfall along the road, and encountered a large aftershock on the way, found a relatively stable gap and hid for a while, and finally saved his life.
Inside Beichuan City, it's too miserable.
In the past two days, the temperature was high, and the almshouse on the street was full of rancid smell and sprayed medicine, and he couldn't sleep, and there were aftershocks from time to time.
The old man's accidental words made them even more creepy.
"Your body is too fragrant, and the people inside are all smelly."
The point is that Fang Huai really smelled the smell of the old man, that smell, when he got closer, it was indescribable.
Nose flushing, dizziness.
It's not a horror movie, it's just that the smell of natural decay of corpses is sticky, and it has a strong adsorption, and people stay in that environment for a long time, and their clothes are smoked and smelly.
A man who had been coming out of it for a day, all with the smell of rotting corpses.
It's hard to imagine what kind of purgatory on earth it is.
The air was obviously still stuffy, and after chatting with the old man for a while, Fang Huai unexpectedly saw a young soldier next to him, shivering.
This made him have to worry a little.
In Beichuan City, the People's Liberation Army is still the majority, objectively speaking, in the area where people are accustomed to seeing the dead and calmly rescue, it is still stronger to fight fire, these young soldiers have never fought and have not gone through too many bloody occasions.
When rescuing in the school, the surrounding soldiers, the psychological problems are not too big, after all, they are all dolls, and the pity in their hearts can completely offset the fear, and because of the good traffic in Hanwang, there are people everywhere, and there are many more living people than dead people after all.
But the victims, after all, are not normal deaths, most of the adult deaths are more terrifying, suffocating, thirsty, stoned, most of them grinning, scratching themselves, almost no body is straight, most of them are twisted.
To this day, it may still be due to decay, and in the process of fishing, meat and internal organs will be dropped.
When the body is buried, it has to be groomed.
The conscripts were only eighteen or nineteen years old, and the first non-commissioned officer was in his early twenties, and he was the corpse of the people, and the horror was mixed with sadness, and the troops that entered were far less than the number of victims.
This kind of rescue conditions, the pressure to bear in the heart, is enormous.
It is said that there are more than 1,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is probably greatly weakened.
Really, we have to go to the aid as soon as possible.
……
Into the mountains, two hours.
It was late at night.
There is no guardrail on the side of the road, so narrow that motorcycles dare not drive up, and a small turn can fly out.
But it's much better than the wild road that I just came out of.
Everyone's luck was not good, and there were two aftershocks.
There were two soldiers who had to jump off the hillside next to them in order to avoid a big rock, but fortunately there was a wild grass and bamboo forest next to them, and they slid more than ten meters before stopping, and there was one of them, whose legs were scratched by flesh and blood, and after bandaging and disinfection, they could no longer follow the team, so they could only contact the command to send someone to rescue, and let a person drag the two injured ones back slowly.
This time, two people were injured and three were attributioned.
Fortunately, there were no deaths.
An hour ago, they actually met a team with a roller cage coming out, and inside the cage, there was actually a giant panda!
The people along the road looked at it in amazement.
The fluffy giant panda, the body is dusty, there is an obvious wound on the leg of the round dundun, obviously it has also suffered a disaster, everyone asked to know, this is a giant panda rescued by the forest guard team was observed to live in the wild, escorted to Anxian County by local personnel and a zoo staff.
At this moment, the soldiers who originally wanted to reach into the cage to touch the national treasure were quickly reprimanded by Fang Huai.
This product is an omnivorous animal, although it does not have the status of a beast that is blindly rumored, but people have a history of millions of years, and they only began to eat bamboo thousands of years ago, and they used to eat meat.
In 79 years, a wild panda entered a farmer's house to find food, but did not find it, and gnawed a farmer's kitchen knife and a thermos bucket; In 83, in the breeding farm of Wolong Reserve, a panda bit a feed tin pot into pieces, ate it, and pulled it out the next day, and was partially digested.
Just this stomach, I'm really hungry, and it's not a problem to digest with two hands.
Fang Huai took down his backpack and gave them two bottles of water, as well as some ham sausages and compressed biscuits.
But the people who guarded the pandas said that when they came out, they encountered many aftershocks, and the people in the deep mountains and old forests were also very scared, and asked if they could ask them to send someone to escort them.
Fang Huai told Brigade Commander Jin, and finally decided to send two people to escort him back.
This time, no one was injured and two people were reduced.
20 minutes ago, a fighter was bitten by a snake.
At this time, everyone was a little numb, and even the three military doctors accompanying them didn't see what kind of wound it was.
The warrior said that it was an earth-colored flower snake with a triangular head, but it was very small, at most thirty or forty centimeters, and it felt that it was bitten very lightly, and it felt that it had been bitten, and with a kick of the foot, the snake was stepped on by the person in front of it again, and it ran away.
But no one dares to take it lightly.
This time, Fang Huai had no choice but to spend two points of military merit to exchange for a "Snake Encyclopedia".
After repeatedly questioning the warrior and examining the wounds, Fang Huai determined that it was most likely a pit viper, named the short-tailed pit viper.
It is poisonous, and it is highly toxic, it can numb breathing, but it takes time to attack.
Fang Huai hurriedly called the soldier who had stepped on the snake over again, looked at it, and found no bite marks.
But for the sake of prudence, he still told both of them to go back, and the injured one was asked to let the other two take turns to carry back.
After this, one person was injured again, one person was suspected to be injured, and four people were reduced.
Brigade Commander Jin was amazed to see that Fang Huai could still determine the species of poisonous snakes, and the accompanying firefighters became the rescue treasure in his eyes, and ordered the PLA soldiers to protect the firefighters.
made the special service team cry and laugh, and everyone scolded Fang Huai for being a pervert and understood everything.
Fang Huai silently looked at the system with only 44.8 military merit left, and was extremely distressed.
It's easy to spend money, but it's hard to make it.
Everyone is walking this road of continuous attrition, and the moonlight is still good, but this deep mountain is full of all kinds of dangers.
But everyone is very optimistic, the mountain wind and moon scenery are all Yaxing, the road is at night, and the sky is not less chattering.
After walking for a while, Fang Huai suddenly found a nest of rabbits in front of him.
In vain, with his night vision, he is particularly conspicuous on the yellow mud on the side of the road.
Fang Huai stepped forward and grabbed it, but he didn't move, so he copied it into his hand.
It wasn't until he entered Fang Huai's hand that he began to struggle slightly.
Fang Huai didn't want to eat the spicy rabbit head, so after observing it, he threw it back to the side of the road.
But when he got back to the side of the road, the rabbit was motionless again, and his head was shrunk inward.
Fang Huai suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around and shouted:
"Attention! There may be aftershocks!! ”
After shouting, it didn't take three seconds.
Suddenly, there was another wave of shaking.
"Attention! Rolling stone! Rolling stone! ”
The whole team was in chaos again, this time although there were no two large stones, there were really a lot of gravel.
Fang Huai pulled the old man who led the way to dodge left and right, and he was able to avoid a wave of attacks.
The whole aftershock was very terrifying, mainly combined with this mountain road, if it weren't for the troops, this chaos, it would be easy for someone to be squeezed down.
Fortunately, there have been a lot of aftershocks in the past two days, and many unstable rocks have been shaken off.
"There are no wounded! There are no wounded! ”
Fang Huai shouted as he walked to the back, and asked people to help the wounded share the burden.
This time, when the wounded were counted again, more than a dozen people were injured.
There was nothing too exaggerated about the serious injuries, the most serious one, hurt the leg and limped, but there was no intention of wanting to get out of the line of fire.
Among the wounded, there was Wen Jingsong.
The arm was smashed, and he grinned in pain, but he didn't say anything, at this time, like a man, a few people from the first squadron came to help him share the burden.
Even Brigade Commander Jin was hit on the head by a small gravel, and squatted on the ground with his head covered, while a medical worker was bandaging him.
"Shhhh Let's go! ”
Brigade Commander Jin didn't want to waste any more time, so he reduced his staff again, so he stood up and walked forward while letting the medical staff chase him and bandage him.
Everyone, no one wants to delay.
Staying in this deep mountain for three days can consume their team to pieces.
According to a poor-mouthed non-commissioned officer jokingly said:
"Damn, this mountain can give us at least 100 ways to die."
Some people, because of the continuous attrition of the team, have already carried more than sixty or seventy pounds.
And, not far away, they saw a spectacle.
On the edge of a large slope, less than three meters above the ground, there is a boulder firmly embedded in the three-meter square.
Inside, the gap in the road is less than 1.6 meters, and people can only lean out from below.
The stone, as if it had been struck into the mountain, was half exposed, but it did not move at all, and it did not even shake it down from the aftershocks just now.
"Damn... This stone didn't come down from the mountain, did it? One of the fighters was shocked.
The old man who led the way looked up and said:
"After here, you will reach the top of this mountain, and then you will go downhill, and it will be difficult to climb the next mountain! There's no road at all, the road is all rotten, so you can only walk on the mountain, it's all woods! ”
Everyone's hearts are awe-inspiring.
This mountain is difficult enough to climb, the road is narrow, there are aftershocks and rockfalls, can there be more difficult?
The surprised warrior just now stared at the boulder with his eyes firmly and said, "Fellow, this stone was smashed on it?" ”
"It's smashed!" The old man pointed to a high mountain on the opposite side that was at least a kilometer away laterally, and said:
"When I came out, I heard people say, 'When there was an earthquake, it came out from that side! Fly over and smash here, boom! The whole mountain has been swept for a while, and it has become like this! ”
Exercise.
Everyone was stunned and incredulous.
But it's quite high, and it's all rocky farmland below, and there's only a mountain on the opposite side, so it's really unlikely that it's a stone from somewhere else.
But if the old man doesn't talk about it, I'm afraid no one will dare to guess so.
Not to mention, more than a thousand meters!
A stone at least three meters square, whistling from across the mountain!
What terrifying energy?
When the earthquake struck, was there a safe place here?
I'm afraid that they will really be given countless ways to die.
The story of this stone quickly spread to everyone as the party all crossed the area.
"Brigade commander, the fellow who led the way in front said that this is a stone sprayed from the opposite mountain during the earthquake! At that time, the opposite mountain cracked and closed again! ”
Brigadier Jin also looked at the big stone in amazement, and was speechless for a long time.
The landslides and the ground cracked, and the mountains and rivers changed.
He remembered Fang Huai's words again.
Naturally, there is great terror.
