Following the river, Li Jianrui walked all the way downstream. The rivers in Xishuangbanna, headed by the Lancang River, have countless tributaries, many of which flow to Laos and Myanmar. Moreover, the target location of the mission is also near the national border. Li Jianrui chose the right path.

Running all the way, the sense of urgency at this time is even worse than when training in the military camp, because in the military camp, I am accompanied by my comrades. When I am tired from running, I may still be able to chat and smack with the comrades next to me. Now all that is left is own.

And in the past it was just training, but now it is training in name only, but as the crab said, there is a gun on the back and the bullets are loaded. Talking about "training" is nonsense, forget it.

"Save the face of our Leopard Tooth Commando," the slogan still echoed in Li Jianrui's heart. If he could not complete the task, it would be a disgrace, and he would completely lose the face of the Leopard Tooth Commando.

As the moonlight gradually fell and the sky gradually dimmed, he could even see the stars in the night sky. In front of him, a deer came to the river with elegant steps, bent its beautiful neck, and drank from the river. Li Jianrui was far away. I saw that the deer had two inconspicuous protrusions on its head, which should be antlers.

Although he could slow down his pace, the sensitive little deer still raised his head in surprise and looked at the direction Li Jianrui was running from, and then ran away quickly with confusion and fear.

Just like human beings, they always have fear of unknown things, or this is the nature of animals. In this sense, human beings have actually always maintained the characteristics of animals.

Li Jianrui watched the deer disappear into the woods, resumed his running speed, and continued southward.

In the dark night, Li Jianrui ran tirelessly. He couldn't stop because he couldn't find a place to hide and rest except the river bank. He rashly entered the rain forest. If he encountered a beast in a dark environment, it would be the enemy in the dark and the enemy in the dark. After losing the initiative, and having just replenished food and water, running as a special soldier for five or six hours is still no problem, as long as you adjust the speed and don't use up all your strength in one breath.

Under the moonlight, Li Jianrui's shadow constantly changes direction, like a sundial. As the moonlight rotates, Li Jianrui's shadow on the ground will form a rotation similar to that of an hour hand. Unfortunately, he does not have the time to infer the time, otherwise he would definitely be able to judge the time based on the movement of the moonlight. Use your own shadow to calculate time.

When his throat is so thirsty that it is about to smoke, he will slowly stop, take a sip of river water by the river, and then hold it in his mouth and continue running, while using the limited river water to moisten his throat, even urinating along the way. All the moisture in his body turned into sweat and soaked through his uniform. Li Jianrui didn't care. He had long been used to this.

He once again found the feeling of challenging himself. He ran on without giving up, ignoring the buzzing insects around him, and not looking at the shadows on the ground or the stars in the sky. His eyes looked straight at the river in the distance. , when the strength of his body was gradually exhausted, he did not stop, but continued to run. Gradually, it seemed that the power hidden in his body was forced out.

That kind of power quickly replenished the body's consumption, and soon Li Jianrui was able to regain his previous speed. This was the reward for challenging himself. There was no medal or applause. Only he knew the bitterness and sweetness here.

He smiled, but he still wanted to run and see how many times he could surpass himself and how much power he still had hidden in his body that he had not yet unleashed.

The river gradually narrowed. When Li Jianrui clearly felt it, he took out the GPS locator in time and checked the distance and coordinates. Soon he got the answer. The straight-line distance was still more than 300 kilometers, but the coordinates had already started. It deviated towards the west for forty seconds.

Now it's time to choose again, whether to continue along the river or correct the direction and abandon the river.

In the end, Li Jianrui decided to run along the river. It was already late at night, and the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time in the rain forest. A large number of nocturnal foraging animals began to move out. Only running along the river was the safest and correct way. After all, This river is like a highway leading to the south, running through the tropical rain forest.

He took another handful of water from the river, put it in his mouth, and continued to move along the river.

I don’t know how long it took, but the moonlight had disappeared, and the sky was pitch black. In the dim skylight, Li Jianrui’s figure was still running by the river. Dawn was about to come, and now it was the darkness before dawn.

Even the always noisy rainforest gradually became quiet, as if all the animals and insects had fallen asleep, and it seemed that only Li Jianrui was left in the world.

In a daze, he felt a little unreal. Is the world at this time real, or was the NJ he once lived in real? This question confused him for a while.

It was so quiet, except for my own breathing and footsteps, even the river water around me seemed to be still, without any sound of water flow.

When the sky lights up, the sun emits its first ray of light in the distant east, illuminating the entire world in an instant.

The animals and plants in the rainforest were also awakened, as if the whole world suddenly came to life.

And there was a faint roar in the distance, intermittent, which reminded Li Jianrui of the engine of the airplane.

He took out the locator again, and this time the coordinates showed that the direction had returned twenty minutes to the south, which meant that the river had taken a large arc and continued to flow southward unyieldingly.

One night passed, and there was still a straight-line distance of 284 kilometers from the target location. According to Li Jianrui's speed, he had been running for about eight hours. The average speed remained above 25 kilometers per hour, and the actual running distance had exceeded two hours. One hundred kilometers, but the distance to the mission target has only been shortened by one hundred kilometers. It has to be said that this is not optimistic news. According to this ratio, it will take him more than a day to reach the destination, and now it is left to him There are less than fifteen hours left.

Is this task really unachievable? It's impossible.

Since it is a mission, it is impossible for you to pick the stars and steal the moon. There must be a way to complete it. He did not expect that this was entirely due to a plane failure and the crabs drove them off half an hour early.

On land, half an hour's journey is not that far and you can reach it in just a short run. But in the sky, it's a real straight line distance without turns.

The maximum flight speed of the Xinzhou 60 is 510 kilometers per hour. At that time, due to a failure of the left engine, the speed was reduced, but it was still maintained at more than 460 kilometers. In half an hour, it is 230 kilometers. straight line distance.
