In the night march, there was no neat queue and not much lighting equipment was used.
The team did not take the road. They traveled between the mountains and the wilderness, searching and killing Dajian. At the same time, they tried to find the plateau residents scattered in remote places.
There are mountains far and near, many of them, but they are not high. Viewed during the day, most of them are bare and earthy, or only covered with a small amount of vegetation. Viewed at night, there are only vague outlines.
Water is not hard to find either. Although most of them are hidden in the grass, they will take the initiative to guide you in a low voice in the open fields, or you can find them by following the animal's tracks.
Along the way, the grass is deep and the grass is shallow, and they all look the same in the dark. It was completely night, because it was the beginning of the month and the moon was not big, thanks to the bright stars across the plateau night sky.
In such an environment, it is easy to get lost. Lao Jian stopped by a stream where livestock drank water, turned around and called the team members to rest on the spot.
He sat down on a stone where the herdsmen tied the horse's bridle, took out the map from the bag, and while touching the flashlight, he carefully touched the three metal blocks at the bottom of the bag, and smiled with some pride.
1777 had already encountered three battles before, and all they encountered were black-armored men. The battle went on relatively easily, and although there were wounded, they were all minor injuries.
Team 1777 is not weak.
Even without Han Qingyu, Xi Mei and Wu Shi, this carefully selected team still has about four ordinary team captain-level figures, and at least six strong players who can stand on the front line of the main lineup.
Among them is He Tangtang.
He Tangtang's own qualifications are B+ fusion, and his character as a born warrior is more ruthless. The targets of actual combat training and combat skills learning are three young top-level players, and Han Qingyu feeds them with energy blocks and gives them top-level weapons...
By this time, those three were gone, and the team had no third formation. He Tangtang was suddenly reused in the first formation and temporarily assumed the main forward position. The combat power he showed was already shocking and eye-catching.
"Team Lao, can I discuss something with you?"
Lao Jian looked at the map for a while, and He Tangtang was attentively helping him with the flashlight. When the labor team started to put away the map, he suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Lao Jian turned to look at him, "Say."
"Then what, your position as the main striker of the first team will always be given to me from now on?" He Tangtang continued to explain: "I will still train with Qingzi and the others in the future, but when I come to fight with the first team, I was in the third team before, and in Qingzi I feel a little too comfortable around them.”
"Haha, your uncle, what a beautiful idea!" Lao Jian sneered and said, "I've been fooling you for a few days, and you want to kick me out?! Don't forget that I am your captain, and I will be the main battler for a while. The front position, the big pointed front...will always be mine."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and coughed a few times.
"Actually, Captain Lao, you now..." He Tangtang wanted to say that in fact, Captain Lao, you may not be able to kill me now... This may not be added, but it is already a very polite way of saying it.
Lao Jian's eyes widened, "What did you say?!"
"I said the key is that you have to take command, Captain Lao. If you get hurt in any way, our backbone will be gone...that's what I mean."
He Tangtang hurriedly explained, fearing that if Lao Jian was angry, he would be deprived of the main battle position from him on the spot.
Several old team members sitting next to him laughed softly.
Laughter spreads towards the end of the team in the vast wilderness and under the cover of night.
Liu Shiheng sat next to Dr. Yu, who was accompanying the team this time. He exposed a gaping wound on his right arm and said, "Brother Yu, my wound really doesn't need to be treated anymore?"
Military doctor Yu took one look and said confidently: "No need, just stop the bleeding."
"Then it won't be infected, right? After all, the big pointed pillar sword..."
"If the big-pointed pillar sword can give you such a small, shallow wound, I will go up and stab it with a needle in a while." Dr. Yu smiled, leaned closer and whispered: "I fell down and was injured." Was it scratched by a stone? It's your uncle's fault. We don't know how long we have to go this time. Please save me some medicine."
"Ha, that's right... that's okay." Liu Shiheng was not embarrassed at all, and laughed at the same time, but he seemed to feel a little down.
Yes, I still don’t know how long I have to keep walking, how many times I have to fight, and I don’t know what I will encounter suddenly. He sat with his head down, picked up a branch, and pulled it randomly on the ground.
Liu Shiheng was in a gloomy mood. He guessed that he might never be able to integrate into this team.
To use what Wen Jifei said jokingly before: Master Shiheng seems to have been standing on the sidelines all the time, from a completely objective perspective, watching us people fight to the death and survive, feeling happy and depressed. He just concentrated on counting, one after another, just as long as he survived.
Liu Shiheng escaped from Nepal, returned home, and later came back on his own. There is an element of unwillingness to drag down Han Qingyu and the others, but it is undeniable that another important point is that he knows that with Wei Lan's strength, once he is reported, he will not be able to really run away.
He also tried hard, but failed every time. Liu Shiheng has never been able to think of any reason why he must fight. He is not strong, he is cowardly, and Wei Lan does not lack him... Even if human beings really will perish, you can let me go back and enjoy life before he dies. ?
He would rather wait for a collective human despair. It would be best to just huff and die when the time comes, so that at least you don't have to think about it, don't have to run away, let alone struggle and face it again and again like this.
This time, there was no Qingzi, Ximei, Wu Shi, and even Wen Jifei in the 1777 team. He Tangtang was only thinking about hacking...Liu Shiheng was afraid that something would happen. He felt that something would happen and became very uneasy. The further I walked, the more uneasy I became.
In the darkness, some people in the team were whispering and laughing, some were taking a nap with their eyes closed, and some were drinking water and replenishing food. The sound of clattering footsteps started from the end of the team to the front of Lao Jian.
"Team Lao, I suddenly feel that something is not right about the situation now." Liu Shiheng stopped and said.
Lao Jian looked up and gave him a confused look.
"We separated from the main force yesterday morning, right? At first, we could occasionally meet a few small groups in the same direction, but gradually they disappeared, and we were the only ones who were still walking south." Liu Shiheng said, "Very soon Maybe, there are no other teams within dozens of miles around us now... They may have changed their direction, or even turned back... Should we turn back too, please?"
"No matter which direction, every team dispersed to search like this this time. You fool, you are making blind analysis. Don't worry, there is a team on Pulan's side." Lao Jian tried his best not to reveal Liu Shiheng's true thoughts. .
Although the construction of the engineer's simple base station failed to keep up, communication was somewhat difficult and intermittent, but before nightfall tonight, he had just received the order issued by the command through the rejecter, with the target of Pulan, and continued to move forward.
Although the residents there had evacuated as a whole following the Chinese sub-regular army, in the rush, it was inevitable that there would be oversights in the scattered places in the mountainous area.
And Dajian won’t stop landing there just because you have no one left.
The rationality of Liu Shiheng's suggestion was lost in this way, and he became a little anxious, "What if we suddenly encounter a blue-tinted giant?! If there are two blue-tinted bodies...how can we fight?! Are we going to die?"
"If you can't defeat them like that, you can retreat first. This time our Army Commander Chen went to Mount Xilang to join the command. He didn't give a fatal order."
Lao Jian stood up as he spoke, approached and then raised his hand to pat Liu Shiheng's shoulder.
In a strange place, such a lonely march would indeed give people a greater sense of panic than usual. Lao Jian understood Liu Shiheng and tried to calm his emotions.
"But Team Lao, I really don't want to go any further. I won't leave." It wasn't a fierce tone, but Liu Shiheng's mood actually collapsed.
He turned his head and glanced at the endless dark wilderness in front of him. His eyes turned back in panic, and he choked in a low voice and said: "Qingzi and the others are not here. I really don't want to leave anymore. How about we stop first and wait for them? They must be there." Will find you."
Lao Jian looked at him and shook his head, "According to what you say, should all Weilan's teams without top players escape?!"
His voice was still low, but his tone, the coldness in his calmness, had become a little bit better.
"Okay, Shiheng. You are probably tired. You will indeed develop a fever after the wound heals. Take the time to rest." He Tangtang stepped forward because he was afraid that Liu Shiheng's words would shake the morale of the army and make the labor team and veteran team members anxious. She grabbed his shoulders and used silent strength to force him to the side, forcing him to sit down.
Then I gave him a cigarette and lit it for him.
…………
After another two hours of marching, there was a shower. When 1777 found a place to take shelter from the rain, the rain stopped. Lao Jian thought for a while and simply let everyone sleep on the spot for a while to catch up on their sleep.
A total of three hours of sleep was scheduled. Except for the two on guard, almost all the tired team members fell asleep immediately.
Liu Shiheng was still at the end of the team, and He Tangtang beside him was already snoring. He couldn't sleep at all.
In order to avoid being too frightened, Liu Shiheng deliberately let himself think back to some of his old friends in Hong Kong City Entertainment City... Unfortunately, his thoughts still jumped from the beautiful pictures to reality from time to time.
"Fuck you...if you bite me, you will die." Liu Shiheng muttered quietly as he raised his eyes and looked at the sky outside.
This sentence disappeared silently in the dark wasteland, but two seconds later, it began to echo in Liu Shiheng's own mind, like a thunder, with lingering reverberations.
"You will die if you fight, and you will die if you run away... So what if I run away and die at the same time?! Let them think that I ran away and died."
"I won't go home. Anyway, I have money and my previous accounts. Where can I not survive?"
"Anyone who has been hiding for ten or eight years will either disappear with the whole world, or the big tip will be chopped off and the blue will be gone. Even if it doesn't happen, Aoko will at least be an admiral by then, right?"
"This plateau is so big and complicated. The teams participating in this war are also very complicated. There are so many sacrifices and accidents every day..."
Liu Shiheng was thinking this, thinking... his heart was beating loudly.
"The big tip at the back should have been cleaned up. Where can I go out?" Looking back, Liu Shiheng was confident that he could go out even if he was alone, because he had always hoped that Qingzi and the others would come. Making marks.
"There will never be another chance like this."
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm sorry, Qingzi, Wenji, Tangtang..."
There was no time to think more. Liu Shiheng deliberately made some noise and came out to get some water. At the same time, he divided the bankbook he had into three books, each containing two million, and stuffed them into He Tangtang's backpack. They all know the password anyway.
In this way, he lay down and waited for a while, making sure that no one was paying attention to him. Liu Shiheng silently crawled to the side and climbed into the grass.
Climbing from the front to the back of the mountain... he turned on the device and started running.
Run like crazy.
The howling wind behind him was chasing him.
He ran quite far and went around the back of another mountain. As long as he goes around here again, he can return to the marked route, then look for opportunities to create the illusion of death after escaping, and then leave the battlefield.
The military situation is important, Team Labor and the others will definitely not come after me...
"Fuck you." A tall figure, or rather the outline of a knife behind his back, stood high at the valley pass, waiting for him, and said, "Fuck you, Liu Shiheng."
"...Tangtang?" Liu Shiheng stopped, his body froze, and said with a smile: "Have you noticed it earlier?"
"What do you think?" He Tangtang discovered it when Liu Shiheng's background was still on the slope. He didn't call out on the spot, but chased him so far... because if he had called out directly at that time, Liu Shiheng would be sure He is a deserter, and what awaits him is military law.
"Come back with me and just treat it like we came out to pee and chat." He continued with some annoyance.
Liu Shiheng didn't move, "I don't."
Keng, He Tangtang drew his knife.
"Don't scare me, you can't do it...I won't go back with you," Liu Shiheng said.
"Haha", He Tangtang smiled and said, "If I don't chop you, just knock you out and I'll carry you back."
As he spoke, he walked over with the knife and turned his wrist to the side of the knife.
"..." Liu Shiheng looked at him walking in front of him, and started laughing...and suddenly turned into crying, bared his teeth, and his facial features were crowded together. He cried ugly, like a worm, "Why did you keep me? Why did you keep me?" What’s the use of coming down? Huh?”
He Tangtang was stunned for a moment. Because it's really useless.
"It's really useless for me to stay in Qinglan. It's really useless. If I hadn't met Qingzi, trash like me would be cannon fodder. Do you understand cannon fodder? Oh, it's gone with just a wave. It's gone long ago... If I were in another team, I should have been prosecuted by military law for retreating from the battle."
He Tangtang still said nothing.
Liu Shiheng Gu Zi continued: "If I were Qingzi, Wu Shi..."
"It's useless for you, and it's useless to give you their talents, because no matter how talented they are, they are still fighting with their lives time and time again." He Tangtang said with a firm tone, "Why don't you think about the plague chicken?"
Liu Shiheng was silent for a moment, "Yes, I'm a plague chicken...but I'm not him, can't I? I'm just afraid of death, can't I? Haven't you always known that? Don't Qingzi know?"
"I know, but Qingzi never disliked you."
"Yes. So besides being taken care of and wasting Qingziyuan energy blocks, I have done nothing... So why do you have to keep me? This situation is special. If I run away, no one will be implicated... So don't tell They, don't tell Qingzi, don't tell the plague chicken..."
He Tangtang frowned and thought.
"Let me go, Tangtang. Just treat me as dead, and pretend that you never had a brother like me." Liu Shiheng's knees softened, "I beg you, Tangtang, I beg you."
He Tangtang avoided it and stepped aside.
Liu Shiheng knelt on the ground and cried.
Suddenly, he felt movement behind him. "Bang!" He Tangtang pulled out his death iron sword and inserted it into the ground in front of him.
This knife belonged to Liu Shiheng, but it had been borrowed by Zhang Daoan and cut off more than one large tip. When Zhang Daoan died, he was still holding it in his hand.
"When you leave the battlefield, remember to leave this knife where comrades in arms can see it." He Tangtang went through all the logic... made a decision, and finally asked behind his back: "Can you go out by yourself?"
Liu Shiheng, who was holding the knife and moving forward, suddenly froze.
"Yeah." He nodded.
He Tangtang stopped talking and did not turn around to say goodbye.
Liu Shiheng didn't dare to look back until he left the valley, found the mark he left, and walked alone into the wilderness night.
