The team of 11 people naturally divided into two sections as the mountain road continued. The ones at the front and easiest were the two soldiers who opened the way, the second lieutenant, and the sergeant. The hardest ones at the back were naturally the five people on the back. The young and strong men were carrying supplies. The two soldiers at the back couldn't help scolding them when they saw that they were so far apart from the front. Unfortunately, they were walking on the mountain road carrying heavy objects. They couldn't get up quickly at all. Seeing the young and strong men gritting their teeth and working hard to walk, The two soldiers could only sigh helplessly and followed slowly.
The second lieutenant and the sergeant who were walking in the middle of the mountain both looked back at the packman who had fallen at least a few hundred meters away. Neither of them paid attention. There were two soldiers following behind. They were not afraid that they would disperse at all. And before setting off, they Tell them the destination they will arrive at. Even if they are separated, they will carry the supplies there. I dare not tell them in other places. But absolutely no one here dares to swallow the army's supplies.
"Sir, it's getting later and later. It's still possible for a few of us to arrive at Shanguo Village before dark. But the porters can only arrive tomorrow. It's impossible for them to climb the mountain in the dark. But tomorrow, there will be no soldiers. They who are protected will definitely be robbed by other tribes and even our own people. The materials here cost all your savings, sir, to get them from the arsenal. And they are also related to the great cause of the sir. There must not be any What a loss." Seeing the second lieutenant's thoughtful expression, he immediately knew that he wanted to leave the slow porter and go ahead himself. The sergeant could not help but hurriedly dissuade him.
I know that my former close family member and current deputy makes sense. Looking at such a large amount of supplies, not to mention the tribes who just pretend to obey but do their own thing and do not listen to orders. They are all from the same faction. Other soldiers dared to snatch these supplies in front of him. They even killed you directly to avoid facing a lawsuit in order to save trouble.
"So we can't even go to the 501st Regiment's base. Let the two soldiers in front find a corner where we can shelter from the wind and settle down for the night." The second lieutenant said somewhat bitterly.
"Yes." The sergeant immediately took a few steps to inform the two soldiers who were opening the way. The second lieutenant did not shout to the back. For him, the sergeant would handle the matter properly for him, so he walked forward and went up. Shi thought that as long as the people behind him saw him and others continuing to move forward, they would naturally follow him, so he did not go to the back to inform them.
The mountain road was naturally winding and undulating. The porters who were so far behind were walking slowly with their heads lowered. They didn't even notice that the ensign and the others had climbed a hillside. Their figures were blocked by the branches and they would only continue along the mountain road. Climb.
When they reached a certain section of the road, the porter in front raised his head and identified the direction in the grass beside the road. He turned to the two soldiers behind and shouted: "Sir, this is the intersection to Shanguozhai. "
The two soldiers were exhausted. They just waved their hands: "No nonsense. Let's go quickly."
After being told by the soldiers, the porters naturally crossed the very dense weeds on the roadside that were as tall as a man. After walking through the weeds for several meters, they finally saw a grass path that had been walked on. The porters saw the road. There was nothing wrong. And there were obvious signs that someone had just passed by. Naturally, he thought that the second lieutenant had led people through here long ago. So it was natural for him to continue moving forward without saying a word.
The two soldiers behind kicked the weeds and cursed. One said: "These damn weeds. You know this is an intersection. Why don't you clear the weeds? Don't you want people to find the way?"
The other one smiled and said: "Hey, you don't know the climate problem here. Even if you dig out the roots, the seeds will germinate in one night. They can grow one foot tall in two nights. They will recover in three nights." As it is. Besides, apart from the traffic thoroughfares, which of the other passages between tribes are used by people every day? Can't they all be identified by their directions?"
"It's really troublesome. I don't know if following this Second Lieutenant Bahrain is a good choice." The soldier at the beginning sighed.
"By the way. How did you follow Lieutenant Bahrain? I think you were the first to follow him besides the sergeant." The second soldier asked curiously.
"What's the earliest? Among all of us, only the sergeant is a close confidant of Second Lieutenant Bahrain. I was selected by the sergeant in the recruit camp." The first soldier shrugged and said.
"You came out of the recruit camp. That's not bad. My previous commander took us to rob the caravan, but we were robbed instead. I was the only one in our company who ran back, so I was directly assigned to Second Lieutenant Bahrain. Look at it like this. I believe it won't be long before I have to change my commander." Knowing that the other party was not a close confidant of Second Lieutenant Bahrain like myself, the soldier naturally became more relaxed when he spoke.
"How do you say that?" Another soldier asked curiously.
The soldier said disdainfully: "What else do you need to say? There are hundreds of guns in Shanguo Village. Second Lieutenant Bahrain and the two of us only have 7 guns. I really think that I can control Shanguo with the appointment from above. It’s a stronghold. If that were the case, our mountain country wouldn’t have so many arms dealers.”
"Well, let me tell you, that's right. In the Shanyue Kingdom, if you have a gun, you are the king. Alas, I also hoped that I could live with a chief officer for a longer time. I didn't expect that I couldn't realize this wish."
"Ha. This is good for us. After all, we still belong to the federal army and can get a little salary every month. If we were those tribal armed forces, maybe two hundred yuan of dragon coins would make us compete to be cannon fodder. "
"Alas, these days, we can neither find anyone worth working for, nor can we get money worth working for. So let's just mess around." These words made both soldiers sigh.
After the five porters in front walked for a while, they stopped at a dirt flat of about a hundred square meters that had obviously been artificially repaired. The two soldiers behind immediately shouted: "Why don't you leave..."
"Sir, you see it is already getting late. If you miss this place, you will have to go to Shanguo Village to rest." A porter nodded and bowed.
"Then go directly to Shanguo Village." The soldier looked up at the sky and immediately frowned and said.
"Sir, there is at least a long way to go from Shanguozhai. You can't reach it before dark. And there is a section of the road ahead that is on the edge of a cliff. If you walk in the dark, you will easily fall." The porter explained respectfully. road.
When they heard that there was a section of road ahead that required crossing a cliff, the faces of the two soldiers changed. Then they agreed to the packman's request without hesitation. Only idiots are willing to cross the cliff in the dark. This is not risking their own lives.
Seeing that the soldiers agreed, the five porters immediately heaved a sigh of relief and put down their heavy packages. Then they quickly began to tidy up the dirt floor. First, they sprayed anti-insect and anti-snake medicine around. Then they took out the pots and pans from the packages and placed them on the dirt floor. At the end of the mountain, that is, at the cliff, I found a small source of water and rinsed it carefully. Then I looked for dead branches and leaves to prepare for dinner.
After looking around, the two soldiers realized that Second Lieutenant Bahrain and the others had already disappeared. They probably didn't know that they needed to pass through the cliff ahead. They had to go there before turning back. The two of them would definitely be unlucky. But who is it now? I went to call someone in front. The two of them were silent for a while, and suddenly the winner was decided by guessing. The loser continued to walk forward dejectedly, and shouted: "Second Lieutenant Bahrain" as he walked. The winner found a comfortable shelter from the wind. Sat down.
The second lieutenant and the sergeant also stopped at a sheltered place beside the mountain road with two soldiers. The two soldiers quickly lit a small bonfire and drank water. Now they were waiting for the packman to bring the food. They felt a little hungry. The second lieutenant couldn't help but frown and muttered: "Those porters are too slow. It's been so long."
The sergeant looked at the half-dark sky. He stood up helplessly and said, "Sir, my subordinates will hurry them up." When he saw the second lieutenant, he nodded immediately. He couldn't help but sigh to himself, and he took steps to walk back.
At this moment, the two soldiers suddenly raised their guns and were alert to the surroundings. They kicked out violently and stamped out the bonfire. The second lieutenant and the sergeant also nervously took out their pistols and asked, "What's going on?" .”
"Second Lieutenant Bahrain, someone is lurking this way." A soldier with a resolute face said very seriously. The other one had already found a place to lie down and took aim with his gun.
As soon as he saw this action, the second lieutenant immediately followed the lying man and shouted: "Quickly be on guard." No wonder he was so nervous. He immediately believed what the two soldiers said, because these two soldiers were from the special forces of the military region. If they hadn't committed a crime The mistakes were transferred to the ordinary troops. If I hadn't been the first to learn the news and immediately spent a lot of money to recruit them under my command, I wouldn't have been such an idiot as to go to Shanguo Village with only 7 guns.
The soldier who spoke put down his gun, pulled out his dagger, and said to the second lieutenant with some pride: "Second Lieutenant Bahrain, I'm going to see who it is. If it's an enemy..." He licked the dagger with a bloodthirsty look on his face.
The second lieutenant nodded immediately: "If he is a hunter, capture him and make him a slave. If he is an enemy, kill him immediately. At that time, each reward will be 100 gold yuan."
The soldier grinned: "Second Lieutenant Balin is so generous. I like it." Then he disappeared into the grass in an instant. The other soldier snorted dissatisfied. Second Lieutenant Balin immediately said: "Protect my safety. I will reward you afterwards." 100 gold dollars." The soldier immediately laughed and said, "Thank you, Chief Bahrain. Leave your safety to me." As he said this, the soldier also sneaked into the grass.
Seeing that the two special forces soldiers had disappeared, the sergeant whispered in Bahrain's ears: "Master, don't really trust those two special forces soldiers. They were expelled because of the uneven distribution of the spoils with the original commander. Those from the special forces. They are just people who only care about money but not people."
Balin nodded and lowered his voice and said: "Of course I know. But such a sharp weapon can be used as long as we have money. So as long as we don't let them enter the core and just use them as dogs, it doesn't matter at all."
The sergeant showed a happy smile. His young master had grown up. Just when he wanted to praise the second lieutenant, two muffled groans suddenly came from the grass. Then the sound of walking carelessly came over.
The second lieutenant and the sergeant looked at each other. They both looked suspicious. Could it be that they had eliminated the enemy in one fell swoop? Both of them held their pistols nervously. The sergeant lowered his head slightly and shouted: "Who..."
"Second Lieutenant Bahrain." A cold voice came from afar.
The second lieutenant responded subconsciously: "I am, uh, who are you..." Only then did the second lieutenant realize that the other party was actually a stranger. He quickly shrank down and shouted in panic.
"Yes, that's enough. I originally thought we would have to wait until the chaos breaks out before I can kill you. But I didn't expect that I would meet you in the wilderness before the chaos broke out. This saves us a lot of trouble. As long as we report you dead after the incident, Just stay in the war. It's so easy." The voice said with obvious ridicule.
"Ah, wait for me. I died in the war. I, I blame you for not remembering it." Second Lieutenant Bahrain was dumbfounded. The man in front of him seemed to have wanted to kill him for a long time. But he had been careful not to offend anyone. Why? There will be someone who has been thinking about killing me for a long time. Have you found the wrong person? Yes. You must have found the wrong person. There are no surnames in Shanyue Country, only first names. So there are too many people with the same name. I have to explain.
Before the words of explanation could be shouted out, dozens of bullet holes popped out of the second lieutenant's body. Naturally, the sergeant next to him also enjoyed such treatment. Both of them struggled to raise their heads with disbelief on their faces. They saw Several men in black combat uniforms appeared in the hazy scene in front of me. The last thought left in my mind was: "When did they get so close?"
