Chapter 0498 – Savage Mountain (II)

“Brother Zhuang, it’s not that kind of calculation, it’s hard to run up this mountain road, the speed can’t be raised, even if it’s me, it’s good if I can walk five kilometers in an hour.”

Peng Fei was scratching his head a bit, he had thought of this trip as too simple, and he had also made a common sense mistake, the difference between the scaled distance on this map, and the actual is huge, especially in a mountainous environment.

In the past, the Nationalist Party always defeated the war, a lot of reasons, that bald Chiang often do this kind of thing, he sat in the war room, pointing to the map, so that his troops tired of running.

But Jiang did not know that the straight line distance on the map, put into reality, there may be some hills or rivers and streams, which are obstacles to the troops to move forward quickly.

Including in the Huaihai Campaign, if Jiang did not blow up the Garden Pass, making the Yellow River diversion caused by the yellow floodplain, the PLA wanted to encircle the fully mechanized Huang Baitao and Huang Wei Corps, it is not so easy, and all these, obviously, are not shown on the map.

Zhuang Rui was also a little stunned by Peng Fei’s words, he was not afraid of physical exertion, because the use of spiritual qi can be completely replenished, but walking five kilometers in an hour, that’s a little too slow, so then, even if there is nothing else, this round trip can take eight hours ah!

If he really disappeared in this savage mountain for eight hours, I’m afraid Hu Rong will definitely organize people to search the mountain, thinking of this, Zhuang Rui can’t help but scratch his head a little.

“Zhuang old brother, this is going into the mountain ah! You two stay close, don’t load your bullets, muzzle down, I’ll greet you when you encounter prey ……”

Zhang Guojun looked back, Zhuang Rui and his duo had already lagged behind by a distance of twenty to thirty meters, he couldn’t help but shake his head, this city dweller’s body just can’t work, he couldn’t hold on after only a few kilometers of walking.

“Big brother Zhang, got it.” Zhuang Rui replied back from a distance.

“If I rush over now, I should be able to come back at night, I’m sorry Brother Hu.”

Zhuang Rui looked at his watch, it was not even 8 o’clock, made up his mind and whispered to Peng Fei, “Let’s leave now, and try to rush back before dark ……”

Although Peng Fei has the intention not to bring Zhuang Rui to go, just see his determination has been determined, there is not much to do, then nodded, said: “Brother Zhuang, let’s ugly words in front, if you can not keep up with my footsteps, then we will turn back, I go …… alone at night again.”

“Good, let’s do it!”

Zhuang Rui nodded his head and agreed, then quickly rushed behind Zhang Guojun and the others.

At this time six people have entered the forest, dense tropical jungle broadleaf trees, the sky’s light blocked a large part of the sky, as long as the sparse sunlight through the branches of the trees, stars irradiated on the ground.

In the ground also pounced on a thick layer of fallen leaves and rotting branches, stepped on it soft and not too forceful, a “rustle” sound.

Inside the forest is very quiet, except for the sound of footsteps and conversations, there is no other sound, Zhang Guojun is very familiar with this place, now take Zhuang Rui and others to walk the place, actually is a small road, in fact, it is not a road, just this period of time they often walk just.

After more than half an hour of traveling through the tall forest, Zhang Guojun stopped and said, “Let’s go northwest, there’s a mountain pass in front of us, I guess there will be some animals in there, that wild boar yesterday, it was shot there.”

“Big Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, you guys go over first! I just can’t hold on anymore, I need to sit down and rest for a while ……”

Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei made an appearance of panting, that situation looks like a breath will not come up, Zhang Guojun looked back and could not help but wrinkle his eyebrows, this is only walking more road ah! It has become this way.

However, Zhang Guojun also knows that his trip is to accompany Zhuang Rui to play, then said: “Why don’t we all rest! Wait a while and then go over well, unfortunately, this will be in the morning, the animal’s reaction is relatively slow, go late I’m afraid they all ran away.”

“Zhang …… Zhang big brother, I …… we are fine, just …… just a little tired, sit here to rest on the line, you do not care about us, first go to guard the The mountain pass ah! Back to the animals are running away how to do ah!”

Zhuang Rui holding a big tree with his hand, came up for air said, while also impatiently waving his hand, signaling Zhang Guojun to rush over first, making a look of fear of not being able to hit the prey.

“This …… is not good! If something happens, then Brother Hu can’t spare me.”

Zhang Guojun is a bright character of the man, where he can guess to get Zhuang Rui’s mind, although the heart is already by Zhuang Rui to say, but has not forgotten the mission of this trip, thought for a moment or decided to wait for Zhuang Rui to go together.

“Brother Zhang, we two big men with guns, here afraid of what, besides this distance from the outside and not far, there is not much animal infested, you guys go quickly, in case the animals run out, we today that is in vain.”

Zhuang Rui see Zhang Guojun refused to go, the heart really anxious, this has been 8 o’clock, and then do not transfer them away, I’m afraid that this day’s treasure hunting trip will really fizzle out.

“That …… well then! It’s probably less than two miles northwest from here, and you’ll be able to see that mountain pass.”

Zhang Guojun also want to block to a few big guys, night to the brothers to improve the food, this savage mountain depths they do not dare to enter, usually are to that mountain pass to block the prey, where there is a water source, usually is the place where the animals gather.

See Zhuang Rui waving the gun in his hand, Zhang Guojun think should not be out of the way, tigers, black bears and other beasts, at the edge of the forest simply can not be seen, and then shouted to a person behind him, “Ma Liu, you stay, that place you know, and so on, will take the Zhuang brothers they rushed over …… ”

“Brother Jun, it’s not very far, less than an hour on the road, there’s no need to leave someone behind, right?”

Hearing Zhang Guojun’s words, Ma Liu said with some reluctance, men, always have an unusual interest in hunting, Ma Liu is naturally no exception.

Zhang Guojun glared at Ma Liu and said in a bad mood, “You don’t listen to me, do you? Don’t listen to my words either?”

“No …… no, how can I, Brother Jun you guys go first!”

Once Zhang Guojun said this, Ma Liu hurriedly waved his hand, only with a somewhat reluctant look on his face.

“Elder brother Zhuang, rush over when you’re rested!”

Zhang Guojun rushed at Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei, and then rushed towards the mountain pass for hunting with the other three people in a hurry, in his opinion, with a gun in hand, there would be almost no danger in this jungle, and there weren’t even a lot of snakes in this fringe area.

“Brother Ma Liu, what kind of animals are in that mountain pass?”

Zhuang Rui this gasping is not so powerful, took out a pack of cigarettes, gave Ma Liu on a.

“That can’t be said, last time I ran into two wild boars, ran away, another like black bears sometimes run over there to drink water, yes, once I also saw a tiger, just we rushed to the place, the tiger ran away, it’s a pity.”

Ma Liu they have been stationed here for almost half a year, often hunting at the edge of the savage mountain, that mountain pass has been there many times, now talking about it as if it were a family treasure.

When Ma Liu talked about that tiger, there was still a remorseful look on his face, knowing that a tiger skin could be worth tens of thousands of RMB if it was taken to the China-Burma border to be sold, of course, this was only the price that the Chinese businessmen offered them.

“Alas, it’s the fault of the two of us who are not physically capable, we can’t breathe after running this section, let’s do it this way! Brother Ma Liu, you also follow us over there! We’ll rest for a while longer and then we’ll go over to ……” Zhuang Rui was now in a hurry to get rid of this person.

“That won’t do, if you guys get lost, Brother Jun will skin me.”

Ma Liu shook his head repeatedly, Zhang Guojun’s prestige in this gang of Chinese mine guards was still quite high.

“Brother Ma Liu, looking down on the two of us are you? With guns in our hands, can we still get lost, how about this! Every four or five trees away from you, make a mark on the tree with a military spike, so we won’t know!”

Zhuang Rui quickly brainstorming, in helping Ma Liu looking for excuses, as for the military brother will not peel off his skin, now can not care so much, but after the two of them ran away, Ma Liu this a reprimand is inevitable.

“That’s true!”

Ma Liu’s eyes lit up as he listened, picking up his military spike and hacking at a tree, seeing that a mark and white sap was revealed on the trunk, he turned his head to Zhuang Rui and said, “Mr. Zhuang, later you guys will find it according to this mark! Actually, it’s all right without the mark, it’s just in the northwest direction ……”

Ma Liu this person is a little thick brain, into this everywhere is the sky-high trees in the forest, not to know the way old horse or specially trained people, the ghost knows the northwest is which direction ah! Just want to find the sun to recognize the direction, that have to find a place with few trees on the hillside.

“Mr. Zhuang, you guys hurry up!” While chasing towards where Zhang Guojun and the others were, Ma Liu turned back and shouted to Zhuang Rui, his hands weren’t idle either, slashing at the trees along the way with his military spikes.

“Got it, don’t worry! I’ll shoot if something happens.”

Zhuang Rui shouted back, his body had already stood up, while beside him, Peng Fei had long taken out his small knife and was recognizing the direction with the compass on the hilt.

“Brother Zhuang, our direction is due north, go here ……”

After Peng Fei recognized the direction clearly, his body had already taken the lead and rushed out, just like a nimble ape, instantly running out more than twenty meters.

“Hey, you should slow down!”

Zhuang Rui didn’t know that Peng Fei was just trying to make him unable to keep up and know what to do, and hurriedly followed behind to catch up.

“Ma Liu, why are you here? Where are the two of them, Elder Brother Zhuang?”

Ma Liu ran in hot pursuit for nearly 20 minutes before catching up with Zhang Guojun and the others.
