Chapter 0497 – Savage Mountain (I)
The next day just after six o’clock Zhuang Rui climbed out of bed and walked out of the cabin, and was instantly captivated by the scenery outside.
This would be the sky just appeared a trace of bright light, at the foot of the mountain, everywhere is a white mist, shrouded the entire Savage Mountain in the morning fog, milky white thick fog in the flow, in the receding, through the gaps of the cloud streams, the navy blue mountain peaks and trees are vaguely visible.
After about ten minutes or so, the fog gradually dispersed, the sky was azure blue, you can see the rolling hills of the savage mountain, the rugged mountain road, the mountain cloudy, looks so mysterious and unpredictable.
Someone in the mine protection team had already gotten up to cook breakfast, the rising smoke and the mist that had not yet dispersed were intertwined together, very much a bit of farmhouse idyllic life atmosphere.
“What? What are you looking at? Older brother, the wild man mountain you can not go deep, in the periphery to see if there is any animal fight on the line.”
Is Zhuang Rui looking at the savage mountain when Hu Rong walked to his side, see Zhuang Rui wearing a camouflage clothing, feet stomping a pair of high top field boots, where still do not know Zhuang Rui’s idea.
Hu Rong this will be all blood in the eyes, he almost did not sleep all night yesterday, the mood is extremely complex, with Zhuang Rui promised to inject capital, the pressure on him to reduce a lot, but at the same time to his heart pressed a big stone, in case it really is a waste of mines, can be Zhuang Rui also harmed.
“Don’t worry! Brother Hu, we’ll just turn around in the periphery, just get over the gun, it’s against the law to carry a gun in the country.”
Zhuang Rui said with a bad mouth, after he returned to the cabin last night, he talked with Peng Fei again and knew that now is the best time to enter the mountains, if the rainy season comes in the other way, it would be impossible to walk in the mountains at all.
And now is the time when the temperature in Myanmar is at its lowest, like some tropical venomous snakes, although they don’t need to hibernate, the time of their activities will be greatly reduced, and they won’t take the initiative to attack human beings when they don’t encounter any attacks.
“OK, bullets I have plenty here, guarantee to let you fight no longer want to fight, first eat to go ……”
Hu Rong patted Zhuang Rui’s shoulder and pulled him along to have breakfast, Peng Fei had already waited there, seeing Zhuang Rui come over, he served a bowl of thin rice and handed it to Zhuang Rui.
The next meal is pickled radish strips, Zhuang Rui often ate this thing when he was a child, it will be winter, radish and cabbage is basically the only dish in the house, Zhuang mother will cut the radish into strips, pickled with salt, and then dried in the sun, chewing in the mouth crunchy.
After drinking three big bowls of thin rice in a row, and eating two more sesame balls, only then did Zhuang Rui stop, this was what Peng Fei had specifically explained to him, he must eat and drink enough, because there were many uncertainties after entering the mountains, it might not go as smoothly as they thought, and keeping up their stamina, which was a basic condition for surviving from the forest.
“Older brother, since you won’t allow Zhu Fan Per to accompany you, let a few of them follow you!”
After having breakfast Hu Rong was ready to go up the mountain, but before he went up the mountain, he had to make arrangements for Zhuang Rui’s hunting, if he let the two of them, Zhuang Rui Peng Fei, go alone, then he was definitely not at ease.
“Boss Zhuang, I haven’t hunted in a long time either oh!”
“Cooking Woman” looked at Zhuang Rui with a grudging face, the fingers of her right hand were arranged into orchid fingers, pointing at Zhuang Rui falsely, frightening Zhuang Rui to hastily retreat a few steps, almost not spitting out the rice he had just eaten.
“What’s wrong with you!”
Zhuang Rui cursed in his heart, he wanted to pay this man to go back to Thailand and cut it off.
“His name is Zhang Guojun, he’s our Chinese, you call out Big Brother! To listen to him more, this forest is not a joke, how many people went in and did not come out again ……”
Hu Rong introduced a man wearing dark green camouflage uniform with a sturdy body to Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui knew that this man was the captain of the mine protection team, and he talked to him a few times yesterday when he was drinking, and he was a master with three wives.
“Da Jun, I can give Zhuang Rui to you, must ensure the safety of the two of them, what happened, I’m looking for you to settle the score.”
Hu Rong turned back and gave another explanation to Zhang Guojun, in fact, he knew that there was no danger to fight some small animals in the periphery again, otherwise he wouldn’t have agreed to this request from Zhuang Rui.
“Brother Hu, just rest assured! I’ve been into this Savage Mountain several times, it’s fine to go around outside.”
Zhang Guojun patted his chest and agreed, although he didn’t know Zhuang Rui’s exact identity, but from Hu Rong’s attitude towards Zhuang Rui and those two professors, Zhang Guojun could also tell that Zhuang Rui should be one of his own.
“Okay, bring some food, if you can’t come back at noon, don’t starve, we’ll go up to the mine first.”
Hu Rong will not have the heart to accompany Zhuang Rui to hunt and play, he also has to bring two professors to continue to explore the emerald vein, hoping to find the vein and get out of the current dilemma.
“Mr. Zhuang, these two guns you take, and this bullet belt, also on your back, I will first teach you how to use ……”
After Hu Rong left, Zhang Guojun took two sixty to seventy percent new AK47 submachine guns, and two heavy military green bullet belts, and handed them to Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei.
“Brother Zhang, just call me Zhuang Rui, we’re all on our own, don’t be so formal. I can use this gun, I’ve played with it before.”
After Zhuang Rui took the gun, he skillfully retired the magazine, pulled the bolt and checked the gun, looking at Zhang Guojun froze for a moment, he knows that there are not many people who can play with guns in the country.
“Success, then I’ll call you Elder Brother Zhuang! You two wait first, I’m going to give an explanation ……”
Zhang Guojun is the captain of the mine protection team, this goes out for a day to put the security work in place, although the security in Burma is good, but that is in the city where there are no disputes of interest, in this kind of wild ravine it is not good to say.
“Brother Zhuang, can you make it, no give me two magazines ……”
Peng Fei very skillful to the bullet belt back to the body, this although with the AK47 submachine gun, but this bullet belt is the domestic eight one gun bullet belt, a total of six bullet clips can be inserted and put.
Now these two bullet pouches, inserted four filled with thirty rounds of ammunition magazines, the weight is not light, hanging on the chest only feel heavy.
“It’s okay, it’s still …… okay.”
Zhuang Rui back on the bullet belt, in situ jumped a few times, the feeling does not affect the activities, in fact, to single out the physical quality, he is afraid than Peng Fei also tough some, after all, Zhuang Rui often nothing when, with the aura to help themselves to comb the body, all as a massage, the kind of qi into the body, the feeling of aura, is very comfortable.
Counting the magazines carried by the submachine gun itself, a total of five magazines, 150 rounds of 7.62mm bullets, Hu Rong this shot is considered generous, according to his idea, these bullets are enough for Zhuang Rui over the gun addiction.
“Zhuang old brother, let’s go! If we can hit another big guy today, we’ll be in for a treat.”
After Zhang Guojun finished explaining his work, he brought four people over, those other mine guards, they all looked at them with envious faces, knowing that going into the mountains to hunt was a good job, much more comfortable than standing guard here in a boring way.
“Brother Zhang, let me carry this!”
Peng Fei saw Zhang Guojun carrying a bag in his hand and knew that it was filled with food and water, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the bag in his hand.
“No, no, you are guests, hey, little brother, are you okay?”
Zhang Guojun was going to push back, Peng Fei had already snatched the bag, Zhang Guojun couldn’t help but glare at a few of his men, this bit of eyesight is not even there, how can you let a guest carry something.
However, after some excuse, the bag or back in Peng Fei’s body, a group of five people along the foot of the mine, to the north of the savage mountain go.
The old saying is to look at the mountain to run dead horse, Zhuang Rui did not have this kind of experience before, now is considered to feel, standing in the camp to see the savage mountain, as if in front of, but this past, enough to walk for nearly an hour, only to come to the edge of the savage mountain.
And this one hour of the road, but only four or five miles so far, this is still in the case of not up the mountain, all the people have accelerated the footsteps.
Peng Fei’s face also became grave at this time, he realized that his previous calculations, were somewhat out of order.
According to Peng Fei’s projection, from here to the location of the hidden treasure, there are roughly twenty kilometers of mountain road distance, for him alone, Peng Fei is absolutely certain that within four or five hours to make a round trip, but coupled with Zhuang Rui, I’m afraid that it is a single trip, four or five hours may not be able to arrive.
“Brother Zhuang, if you can’t, don’t go, I’ll just sneak over and take a look myself.”
Peng Fei gave Zhuang Rui a wink, and the two of them hung at the end of the line.
“What’s going on? Didn’t we say we’d find a time to get rid of them?”
People have curiosity, coupled with the submachine gun in his hand and those five loaded magazines at the moment, Zhuang Rui was bursting with self-confidence, it was the experience of being surrounded by the prairie wolves again, he was not afraid of it now.
In the morning, Zhuang Rui has already discussed with Peng Fei, after entering into the jungle, they will find a chance to get rid of the people following them, Zhuang Rui also understands in his heart, Hu Rong will not let the two of them enter into the wild man mountain, the legend of this place, but it’s not so beautiful.
“Brother Zhuang, from here in, the round trip is almost forty kilometers away, even if I’m alone, I’m afraid it will take most of the day, if you follow, then ……”
Peng Fei words did not go on, but Zhuang Rui also understood the meaning of his words, this is afraid that he can not follow him ah! He is being underestimated ah?
Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, said: “It’s okay, your brother Zhuang is a former long-distance runner, thirty or forty kilometers of distance, not in the words ……”.
Zhuang Rui this is not bragging, when he was in college, the best result of five kilometers long-distance running was 18 minutes and 22 seconds.
At that time, his eyes hadn’t produced a mutation yet, and now that he had aura in his body, he could eliminate fatigue at any time, and Zhuang Rui was even less concerned about the forty kilometers round trip distance.
