The jeep started, and the two jeeps, one behind the other, drove south along the gravel road and passed two hills. From the corner of his eye, Zhou Jiping saw something flashing in the machine gun nest on the mountain. It should be a scope or a telescope.
Reflection, obviously someone is paying attention to his group inside
Zhou Jiping is certain that without Muba or Welf leading the team, people like him would never be able to pass this death threshold.
Driving on the gravel road, the jeep kept bumping, so the speed was not too fast, and the fastest was only about 40 kilometers. However, this was the first time in their lives that most tribal warriors had taken such a fast traffic.
Tool
Within five minutes of driving, the sound of vomiting came from the jeep behind. A few people sitting in the front car looked back. It turned out that some tribal warriors could not stand the bumps of the jeep and had begun to get motion sickness. They were sitting in the front seat of the small jeep.
Elder Muba said something to the indigenous driver, and the jeep immediately slowed down.
However, even if the speed of the vehicle slowed down, the tribal warriors on the vehicle still could not adapt to such a bumpy road, so they still kept saying it. On the contrary, due to the reduction of the vehicle speed, the vehicle bumped up and down even more. Originally, some tribal warriors could still force themselves.
They had been holding it back for a long time, but now they couldn't hold it back anymore and began to vomit loudly.
Seeing that the number of people vomiting accounted for almost half of the total number of tribal warriors, the two jeeps had to stop. As soon as the car stopped, several tribal warriors quickly jumped out of the car, not even caring about the guns in their hands.
They fell to the ground one by one, their shoulders heaving up and down, and they vomited all over the place.
These soldiers had only ridden in Soyo's "infantry trolleys" with their engines removed before, so they had never enjoyed the privilege of riding in a real car. What's more, all they smelled in their noses before was the pure air of the Imara grassland.
They have never smelled the mixed smell of fuel and engine oil. Their current uncomfortable reaction is actually very normal.
Now it was Elder Muba's turn to frown, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Jiping took the initiative to rescue Elder Muba and said, "How about we get off the car and walk over. How far is it? These tribal warriors are not afraid of walking." Although the road here is a gravel road,
But Zhou Jiping could see that the main purpose of paving gravel is to prevent excessive precipitation in the rainy season from accumulating on the road surface and eventually causing damage to the road surface. However, it is not a big deal for this kind of gravel road vehicle to drive on it. It will only be a little bumpy at most, but
The speed of people walking on it is greatly reduced, but it is better than these soldiers who are vomiting and can't even hold their guns.
"No, I have already reported the news of your arrival to the chief. Even if it is a little late today, at least we must place you in Ngro Mountain." Elder Muba said in embarrassment, with wrinkles piling up on his forehead.
Together, "As for whether the chief will summon you today, it depends on the chief's wishes."
"Isn't this Ngro Mountain now? Why haven't we arrived yet?" Zhou Jiping asked curiously
"Haha, Engro is still far away from here. Mount Engro is actually a valley. This is just the outskirts of Mount Engro. The place we came to just now is called Kapa. The Northern Army calls it Death Threshold. From here to Engro
It’s still a long way to go to the mountain. If you walk there, you probably won’t be able to walk there even if it’s dark.” Elder Muba explained, and it was obvious that he was in a dilemma.
"How about we go there first? Let these tribal warriors walk slowly behind?" Welf suggested. Elder Muba didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his attention to Zhou Jiping, which meant that he was asking for Zhou Jiping's opinion. Zhou Jiping deliberately disagreed.
, I thought to myself, isn’t it easy to separate one’s own people? How can that be done?
But after thinking about it, Zhou Jiping suddenly realized what he was doing here? What's more, facing the iron barrel-like defense measures and environment of the Bushmen, he could fight out just by leading these people.
Is it? It’s definitely impossible. If that’s the case, why not just act by ear?
Similarly, Zhou Jiping did not express his position. Instead, he turned his attention to Duka: "How about Duka, are you okay?"
Zhou Jiping could see that Duka was not feeling well either. He was giving himself a chance by asking this. No matter what, it was better to stay here with the large army legitimately than to act alone.
"It's okay" Duka disappointed Zhou Jiping. Although his face looked a little ugly, it was obvious that he could still bear it.
The jeep started driving again, keeping the speed at about 30 kilometers, which is a more comfortable speed under the current road conditions.
"Mr. Chief, what do you think of the place you just came over?" The car drove not far, Elder Muba turned around and asked Zhou Jiping, with a warm smile on his face, "I heard from Welf that your Excellency is very knowledgeable about military affairs.
?Your vision must be very professional”
"Oh, what? Where?" Zhou Jiping pretended not to hear Muba's question clearly and gave himself enough time to think.
"It's Kapa, also known as the threshold of death," Elder Muba added.
"Oh, it's very good there." Zhou Jiping nodded and said in a positive tone: "The terrain is very good. No matter who comes to attack, it will be a nightmare."
"If it were you, the great chief, how many people would you bring to attack to capture the place?" Elder Muba continued to ask, still wearing a signature smile on his face, but that smile had something else to say.
"Me, leading people to attack?" Zhou Jiping's mind was spinning rapidly, and at the same time he was guessing what Elder Muba meant. "How could I lead people to attack? Damon and the Bushmen are tribes that have been brothers for hundreds of years.
, I came here this time to renew the relationship with the Bushmen, why would I bring people to attack? Besides, when I saw that place just now, ah - God, it is simply amazing. As long as the soldiers on the defense line have enough bullets, there will be no danger.
It is simply a nightmare for all attackers, so I am very glad that I came as the chief of the Dameng tribe, otherwise, I would not have been able to get in." He answered Elder Muba's question with a Tai Chi push-hands answer.
, Zhou Jiping did not forget to compliment the Bushman.
"Haha..." Welf smiled approvingly and nodded.
Elder Muba was obviously carefully observing Zhou Jiping's tone and expression, but he was disappointed. From Zhou Jiping's face and words, he got nothing. However, Zhou Jiping's words that were similar to praise later made him agree more.
He nodded and said with some pride: "Yes, the reason why it was called the Death Threshold by the Northern Army was because it was left during the defense of Engro Mountain nine years ago."
