552 Jade Mine
The only blame to blame is the lack of weapons and ammunition and low combat effectiveness of the rebels. As long as they can compete with the Judges, they don't need to regard the East Asia Alliance as their savior, let alone be rescued like stray dogs.
"Brother Biges, you won't regret it, will you?" Emotions can sometimes turn into strength. Zhang Weiping and Maitijiang carried the stretcher and walked very fast, but Hong Tao and Xu Xiaoman were left behind. This
The female representative finally had something to say, and her words sounded so responsible.
"Don't call me brother, call me uncle from now on. There is a generation gap between us! Fate is fate and generation is generation. Unless you sleep with me, otherwise you will call me uncle!" If Hong Tao is annoyed, he really doesn't recognize his relatives and loves whomever.
His logic is very simple. He has to go into battle and fight desperately for others. He doesn't even know whether he can come back alive. All friendships are in vain. If you have the ability, don't let me go. I listen to you scolding me every day without saying anything back. I can't do it.
Just listen, don’t find it unpleasant, there will be even worse things to listen to later.
"She also called you big brother just now!" Xu Xiaoman was more restrained and not angry at all. He pointed in the direction of the stretcher with a sly smile on his face. Unfortunately, he only had one eye, so he couldn't look good no matter how much he smiled.
"Then she just slept with me... Don't think about it. You didn't cherish the opportunity I gave you before. Now uncle, I'm in seclusion, so you don't have to sleep!"
After giving an answer that inspired his imagination, Hong Tao used the night vision goggles to jump around on the rocky beach. After a few ups and downs, he left Xu Xiaoman behind and ran forward. It is best to deal with such an overly professional person.
Stop talking nonsense, they really can't be steamed or boiled, so just stay away to avoid getting angry again.
After descending the glacier, it is actually equivalent to completing the Shaat Ancient Trail. The remaining dozens of kilometers of river valleys are not easy to walk and there is no danger. It is nothing more than crossing the Murzat River twice.
The river gets wider and shallower as it goes downstream, and the rocks on the bottom of the river are exposed in many places. Although the water in the river is as sharp as a knife, you can pass it by just being patient and not slipping under your feet.
If it comes in summer, the difficulty of the Hadamuzidaban and Murzat glaciers will be reduced, and crossing the river will become an accident-prone area. If there is widespread rainfall in the mountainous areas, flash floods will come at any time without any warning in advance.
.
At this time, regardless of people or animals, as long as they are in the river valley, they basically have to wait for death, with nowhere to hide. No matter how good the water is, people cannot withstand the impact of the flood mixed with broken wood and pebbles, so they go directly to the downstream to fish with a net.
Mince the meat and bones.
After half a kilometer, Hong Tao gradually replaced Zhang Weiping and Maiti Jiang at the front of the team, and the distance became farther and farther, but always within one kilometer. Beyond this length, the individual soldier communication terminal will not be easy to use.
.
We walked for breakfast and lunch, and Hong Tao kept marching without stopping the team. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the altitude dropped to 2,000 meters, and the last foothold marked on the map in Crimea also appeared in the telescope.
It is said that there used to be a jade mine there. If Crimea hadn't carefully described the characteristics of the mining site, Hong Tao probably wouldn't have been able to find it even if he had a way. It is said to be a mine, but it is actually a rocky hillside. The people who opened the mine back then were halfway up the mountain.
A small piece of flat land was blasted, and several houses were built with local materials and gravel.
Times have changed. Since this place was designated as a national nature reserve, all mining operations have been banned, and the jade mine has naturally been abandoned.
However, those few small houses are still there, but they are not visible from the foot of the mountain. You have to climb the ancient plank road halfway up the opposite mountain, and you have to pay special attention to distinguish them. The stones and the houses are almost the same color, completely protective colors.
.
Hong Tao did not find another way and climbed up the ancient plank road obediently. However, before sticking his head out to observe, he lay down on the plank road and only used his binoculars to peek through the cracks in the rocks.
You’ll be shocked if you don’t see it! The jade mine hut is still there, but there are living animals near the house. They are standing or lying, with gray fur, long necks and humpbacks... After a closer look, they are actually a group of camels!
"Click, click, click, click..." Hong Tao said nothing. He retracted his head, pressed the microphone on button three times in a row, and then repeated it again.
"Click...Click...Click...Click..." After more than ten seconds, a burst of electric current noise came from the headset.
This is a simple communication code agreed between Hong Tao and Xu Xiaoman. Three short current noises are an alarm, and one long current noise is a warning. If Xu Xiaoman's brain is not flooded, they should stop now and find a place to hide and be quiet.
Waiting for the scout to send a safe signal.
Why go to all this trouble? Isn’t it bad to pick it up? Isn’t Hong Tao a born thief? He thinks that he has a personal communication terminal that can scan, capture and eavesdrop on nearby radio communications. Others may also have similar devices. For security reasons
, if you can't talk directly, you should avoid it, just express your meaning clearly.
"Little rabbit, be good, open the door...Grandma Wolf is back!" After receiving Xu Xiaoman's answer, Hong Tao breathed a sigh of relief. It worked, and he didn't cause any trouble. He is considered a very good teammate.
The next step still depends on high technology. Use a communication terminal to start a search! Oh, no, no need to search blindly. The Adjudicator's walkie-talkie seized last night has the correct frequency band. Aim at it and start teasing to see if there is any reaction.
.
"Hey, hello, captain, is that you?" I couldn't help but laugh. I heard the intermittent sound of electricity in the mobile phone, and soon someone spoke. I called back and forth several times, but got no answer and fell into silence again.
"1,2..." Hong Tao knew that he had met the Adjudicator since he saw the group of camels. No matter how promiscuous the camels were, they would not take the initiative to go to such a damn place to play with rocks. Someone must have brought them.
Now not only was the guess confirmed, but a living person was also seen. Calling through the walkie-talkie failed, and four people emerged from the jade mine hut one after another. Two of them held telescopes and looked towards the north of the river valley.
"Two officials... will not exceed ten people!" Hong Tao only had one purpose in doing this, to let the enemy show up and collect as much useful information as possible to judge the opponent's strength.
For example, the appearance of these four people is very revealing! The two holding telescopes are obviously officers, and the two silly people on the side looking at it with the naked eye are basically soldiers.
According to the Arbitrator's establishment, if a team is full of ten people, then it is likely to encounter three teams. There were two teams that went in to track Xu Xiaoman, led by a squadron leader, but they were all killed by him.
The person here is probably another small team, which in addition to guarding the livestock, also has the function of supporting and guarding the back roads.
"Eldest niece, fire a shot...yes, fire a shot into the sky, right now!" But no matter how he searched with the telescope, Hong Tao could only see four people, which made him very uncomfortable. So Xu Xiaoman should show off
Once it works, use it as bait to see if you can get the fish out.
"Pa..." Although it looked like a valley, the sound of the gunfire was not very long, it was dry and had no sound effects at all.
"Holy shit, you're really good at hiding... Hey, hey, there's another one... Thief Sun, you're my master..." But just such a dry and crisp sound made Hong Tao suddenly feel that he was not obscene enough.
As a man holding a telescope kept calling for sentries, Hong Tao discovered at least three very hidden sentries on the hillsides, river valleys and woods. If they didn't move, it would be really difficult to spot them just by observation.
The sentries on the hillside were lying in a pile of rubble. Their gray cloaks were a natural protective color and almost blended into the ground. They could monitor most activities near the river valley without moving.
The sentinel in the valley huddled in the gap between two rocks, one large and one small. From his angle, he could not see the valley, but he could look up at the hillsides on both sides. Anyone who wanted to sneak close to the jade mine would be discovered by him.
The sentry in the woods opposite the jade mine is probably of the same lineage as him. He also likes to climb trees and hide among the branches to observe everywhere. He can clearly see the hillsides and river valleys, which can be regarded as a useful supplement and backup to the other two sentry posts.
