The quiet valley was already in a mess. Everywhere was broken and withered after the ravages of insects, as well as a thick layer of lifeless insect corpses. The fireflies all over the mountains and plains finally ushered in their final destruction in the dark night.
However, the forest quickly returned to life. Those scalp-numbing bug remains are the easiest and most delicious meal for small creatures hiding in the dark to look for food. The originally dead jungle began to quickly enter a period of vigorous activity under the cover of darkness. A gluttonous feast that only belonged to the forest officially began after the disaster.
At the edge of this cruel battlefield that had just experienced a life-and-death struggle, a pile of dead branches and leaves was opened up, and a yellow-orange mecha quietly shook off the dust covering its body, revealing that it was still flashing. Moving dim flame light pattern.
The mecha that stood up from the hiding place was none other than Gao Wenbin, the leader of the eighth platoon who had issued a military order in front of Lu Pei and volunteered to come to the rescue.
In fact, Lao Gao had already arrived outside the valley when the final battle started, but his purpose of coming was not really to fight with this terrifying day and night insect.
Gao Wenbin, a coward with high ambitions, had naturally inquired with Lao Hu and Xiao Meng before taking the initiative to ask for help, and caught a key piece of information when the two explained their experiences: the bug would die after the sun goes down. . This is the important reason why Lao Gao dared to wade into this muddy water. Well, one.
However, the impact of the terrifying reality on the spot suddenly shattered Gao Wenbin's low self-confidence. Lao Gao led eight platoons of people. Before they stepped into Spear Peak Mountain, they were all startled by the giant mountain-like monster insects on the mountainside.
Damn it, Lao Hu didn't even say that this monster would be so terrifying.
(Actually, Hu Tianye and Meng Fan can’t be blamed. Before they rushed back to the camp to rescue, the insect didn’t go crazy after all. Moreover, the two were eager to ask for help, so they naturally unconsciously simplified some descriptions of the difficulty of rescue.)
Of course, Lao Gao, who had always been timid, could not immediately rush into the valley that was already occupied by giant insects. Instead, he made a very decisive decision: take the eight platoons of oil soldiers to find Shi Liang's stones. Sentry, temporarily stationed.
It was a coincidence that a sparse group of people were operating mechas and did not dare to fly high. Instead, they wandered around in the forest for a long time before they found the abandoned and dilapidated building that Xiao Meng described. sentry.
Before the eighth platoon could stop for a rest, the remnants of the third platoon had already escaped from the valley in twos and threes and returned here.
"What, Lao Shi gave him a death order?" After listening to what the embarrassed three rows of soldiers said, Gao Wenbin's eyes went dark, and some of them were unsteady on their feet.
Not everyone will have the courage to issue a death order. They are really fools who are determined to die. After all, the leader of the legion is already the most basic leader of the army. Anyone who dies in battle will be secretly scrutinized by the military commanders afterwards, and there is no way to fake it.
If Shi Liang died in battle, based on his understanding of Lu Pei, it would really kill all Gao Wenbin's hopes of promotion in Yujieyi.
At this moment, it seemed that there were only two paths left in front of him.
One is to rush into the valley immediately and fight side by side with Shi Liang and the unknown shadow monster. Maybe there is still a chance to help Shi Liang escape.
Lao Gao glanced at the reluctant brothers in the eighth platoon. His own team knew best: these guys are the most unpopular old guys in other teams. No one wants them. They could only be forced into the eighth row, which was also called the waste shelter in the camp.
Shi Liang may have a chance to escape, but he is afraid that he will probably go in. Lao Gaoru thought and shook his head.
The second is to stay here, do nothing, wait until everything is settled, and then go clean the battlefield.
Although, Gao Wenbin felt from the bottom of his heart at this moment: This choice is the safest. But looking at the anxious and expectant eyes of the soldiers in the third row, I was also muttering in my heart.
First of all, Shi Liang was friendly with him and refused to save his good brother until death. He was afraid that his reputation would be completely ruined. Secondly, Shi Liang Bajiu is really dead. With Lu Pei's temper, I am afraid that from now on, he will only become a marginalized person in the Yujie camp.
The dilemma between life and future. Although it is not shameful to choose a greedy life, there is always a trace of regret and unwillingness in my heart that cannot be wiped away.
Gao Wenbin began to feel extremely regretful at that moment. If he were not afraid of the pain, he would really want to slap himself twice.
His recklessness and greed for power had completely forced him into a dilemma.
After pondering over the dilemma for a long time, Lao Gaocai finally gave an ambiguous order: "Brothers from the eighth platoon, you stay here and pick up the brothers from the third platoon who have escaped. I will march into the valley alone to support Shi Liang. !”
The soldiers in the eighth platoon naturally nodded happily and agreed to the arrangement. After all, it is you, Gao Wenbin, who is here to gain merit. You have nothing to gain from them, so why should you rush to the front and seek death? Stupid?
Only the soldiers in the third platoon still had some expectations, hoping that the leader of the platoon, who was usually a bit cowardly and unreliable, could rescue the boss who was alone and in dire straits at the critical moment.
Lu Jun was already injured at this time, and he really had no strength to plan a rescue with Lao Gao. He could only raise his eyes and look at the man operating the mecha with difficulty, but he dared to walk slowly, step by step, like a normal person. Gao Wenbin, who entered the forest, was very disdainful and slightly worried.
Lao Gao was alone, very careful, and barely touched the edge of the valley, but a black tiger's roar resounded through the forest. So, I quickly found a nest in a bush and hid myself.
Gao Wenbin, who was nestled in a tree hole, secretly watched the huge black shadow that suddenly rose up on the mountainside and the huge waves of insects that were as fluorescent as the sea, but he no longer had any illusions or hoped for any opportunity to make achievements.
Anyone who survives today is worthy of celebration and bragging, Lao Gao thought. As for Shi Liang, that fool deserves it.
There was no one around at this time, and Gao Wenbin couldn't help but feel a little gloating about his misfortune.
Shi Liang was so outstanding that he overshadowed everyone else in Yujie Town like a pearl. In addition, the successive generations of governors were inextricably linked to him, so that he has always been the leader of Yujie Town. The darling of the camp.
Now, this shining pearl is committing suicide on its own, and even thinks it's great and issued a death order that only a fool would give. It really treats itself as a savior.
Lao Gao couldn't help but feel a little joking in his heart, even though this person was his friend for many years and had always been friendly to him.
This is the sorrow of honest people.
People's hearts are like this sometimes, and that's why it's always confusing.
When the dust settled, Spear Peak Valley was in a mess. There were insect corpses everywhere that made a rustling sound when stepped on. There were also many insects that hurriedly ran into the corners and crevices when they heard the noise, and then quietly came out to eat when it was quiet. Various palm-sized beasts.
Gao Wenbin did not dare to run directly to the center where the fireflies disappeared. Instead, he touched a wall with a big hole and got into a house. What surprised Lao Gao was that the large area of houses inside the high wall was not damaged at all. The appearance of the courtyard, reflecting the dim moon in the sky at this time, looked particularly strange in this valley full of ruins.
At this time, Gao Wenbin seemed to realize something and remembered what Lao Hu and Xiao Meng had said. They knew that this courtyard was actually the only family that settled in this valley, and that there was a trading den that helped Lu Pei and Xia Song carry out arms smuggling.
Perhaps it was because the day and night insect that emerged from its cocoon had grown up in this courtyard. Therefore, no matter how fierce the battle outside was, it never destroyed this courtyard.
The only damaged place in the entire courtyard was the wall that was broken by the broken armor and opened a big hole.
Gao Wenbin, who has a heavy responsibility, naturally knows that this is where Lu Pei's heart is. This house cannot be saved, and a place must be completely wiped out as quickly as possible without leaving any trace.
Lao Shi should be completely hopeless. Now the only way to accomplish this is to redeem himself and perhaps restore Lu Xingshou's destined to change his heart.
At this time, the courtyard was still filled with servants who were stunned by the insects. Therefore, Lao Gao could only remove his armor at the hole in the broken wall.
The flame mecha suddenly dimmed, opening an exit hatch, and its huge body completely blocked the damage to the wall.
As soon as Gao Wenbin landed, he ran directly into the main room, which seemed to be the center of the entire yard. He rummaged through it, but couldn't find any useful materials. Not only did he have to help Lu Pei sell the stolen goods, he also had to find some key evidence for himself that could threaten his life.
Time cannot be lost even for a minute, but if an experienced expert is busy, something will inevitably go wrong. Following the development of the bloody story, the house was completely dark in the middle of the night. Gao Wenbin naturally wanted to hold the candlestick for lighting, but by chance, he accidentally lit the curtains in the house on fire.
The flames followed the gauze curtain and instantly ignited the books and account books that Lao Gao was rummaging through. After all, the head of the household was a businessman who was accustomed to making a living. Naturally, there were a lot of account books and documents piled up at home, and the flames were the most intense. I like this kind of flammable things, so within a short while, the room was already filled with fireworks.
"Oh my God!" Gao Wenbin yelled. He was always timid and cherished his life, how could he care about the mission he was charged with, which of course also included his unworthy little ones.
Lao Gao immediately threw away everything in his hand and ran out of the house as fast as he could.
"Ouch!" But it was a dog chewing mud!
