C149 (1/2)
The road ahead was still led by the Fifth Master ahead of us, so it's relatively easier. After we choose our next destination, the road ahead becomes even more difficult.
Although Mouse wasn't very good, his arm was completely out of proportion to his body. It was obvious that he often used his hand, and that 20 pound big machete in his hand was like plastic. The shrub the size of his wrist was easily chopped into two.
From the display, they could see that there were quite a few people, and Fifth Master and the others were already being held up. There were a few specks of light that hadn't moved for more than twenty minutes. It seemed that the situation wasn't looking good.
We walked arduously in the dense forest for over an hour before we finally bypassed the area they were battling and reached the direction behind Qian Shuhui's father.
We spent another half an hour until we were less than a kilometer away from where Qian Shuhui's father was. The signal tracker was able to accurately pinpoint the location of Qian Shuhui's father. I used my binoculars to observe it carefully, and finally found a trace of something in the forest.
I took off my backpack and threw the tracking device and some unwanted items into a bush. I stuck the daggers into my lap, one by one, and finally picked up the M16.
Pulling on the safety, he said softly, ”Shen Bo, turn off all the insurance.”
”Understood!”
Lao Shu saw me and wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Shen Bo who glared at him and could only shut his mouth.
I carefully approached the bamboo forest, the infrared alarm on my body continuously searching for 300 meters. I didn't tell Shen Bo that I still had other equipment on my body, so ever since Yang Yu's incident, I found it hard to believe other people. I was more willing to be in danger myself than dying randomly.
As the alarm in my headset grew louder, I knew I was getting closer to my target. Finally, the three of us searched the bamboo forest for over an hour, and finally, we found a small hole under dozens of bamboos.
Seeing the cave entrance, Shen Bo's face lit up, he immediately went closer to the cave entrance and called out softly: ”Brother Chang, I'm Shen Bo, are you inside?”
Shen Bo called out a few times consecutively. Hearing that there was no response, Shen Bo became anxious, he turned his head and looked at me, from his gaze, I understood his meaning, I nodded, I was sure that he was inside.
”Shen Bo, is that really you?” At this moment, a weak voice came from inside the cave.
Hearing this voice, Shen Bo and Lao Shu immediately went wild with joy. Shen Bo hurriedly turned on his flashlight and slowly crawled into the cave, while Lao Shu and I stayed on guard at the cave entrance.
In the pitch-black bamboo forest, I could still hear the insects and birds' cries of unwillingness to be left alone. I vigilantly looked around the quiet bamboo forest. At the end of October, the mountain night didn't have the heat of summer at all.
In less than three minutes, an unfamiliar figure finally crawled out of the cave with much difficulty. Lao Shu quickly went up to help this man. Soon, the man finally crawled out, panting heavily.
Under the pale moonlight, I could vaguely see the other party's face. It was a little thin, but even in the dim light, its eyes were still glimmering, giving off a very shrewd feeling.
Very quickly, Shen Bo also came out. When he came out, he immediately helped to bandage the man sitting on the ground. It was only then that I noticed that the man had quite a few wounds on his body. He had been shot twice in the thigh and once in the arm. His clothes were all torn up by the tree branches.
The man sat there as he allowed to bandage his wounds, drinking water and eating high-calorie food, and slowly said, ”You are Chen Yang, right? I am Qian Shuhui's father, Qian Changmao.
I stood there and lightly said, ”Uncle Qian doesn't need to be so courteous. Since I promised Cysteine, these things are what I should do.”
Qian Changmao waved his hand and said, ”Old Xu owes you that much, but I also owe you that much. If you have any problems with the Donghai City in the future, you can look for me.”
I faintly said, ”If I need anything in the future, I won't be polite.”
”Alright, I'll wait for you to come find me.” Seeing that Shen Bo had already bandaged him up, Qian Changmao helped him up with much difficulty.
At this moment, from inside my earpiece, I suddenly heard an ear-piercing siren. Not good! There was someone within three hundred meters! I hastily looked at the screen of the handset in my hand and my expression suddenly darkened.
I immediately turned my head and muttered to Qian Changmao and the others. ”The enemy has found us! It would be too late if he did not leave now! ”Mouse, clear the way and head in the direction of 5 o'clock!”
After I finished speaking, I went up to grab Qian Changmao's other hand, and without saying a word, I quickly pulled him towards the five o'clock direction.
Within a distance of three hundred meters, any spot of light could be seen. Therefore, we didn't dare to light the lamps at all. We could only rely on our moonlight and experience to move forward in the dark of the bamboo forest.
