Chapter 1057: Beheading the hunchback! (fifty-six)
In the afternoon, snowflakes floated again in the sky.
"Haha, it seems that God is still on our side!" Wu Zi showed a hint of excited smile.
"This is China's place. God will naturally be directed towards us, otherwise we would have been in vain for thousands of years of incense?" Wang Yong teased with a smile.
"Let everyone get up and move, we'll set off right away!" Lu Shan gave the order.
"Mr. Lu, I guess the patrol team won't come out anymore. Look, how long has it been, and it should be coming out long ago!" Wang Yong took out his pocket watch and said.
"These bastards are just lazy and give us a chance!" Yang Shangwu was still angry that he had only had a small sip of wine!
"Monk, stop talking nonsense, check the equipment, prepare to set off, and clear the traces!" Lu Shan said.
"It will be dark in less than an hour. We can't waste time. It's difficult to walk along the way, and we have to climb mountains. Be careful to save energy!"
"yes!"
Although the distance is not far, it is not easy to walk over. Moreover, they also carried heavy equipment, and each person's weight was more than ten kilograms!
It is difficult to move forward in the wind and snow. Sometimes you can get out of the distance by accidentally falling. Because of the cold, everyone is wearing bloated clothes and walking speed is twice as slow as usual!
The sky became darker and the wind and snow became heavier.
The visibility is gradually decreasing. It would be nice to have a thirty-five meters. Seeing that it had only walked less than half of the journey, everyone's hearts became heavy!
There are no patrols at this time. In such a bad wind and snowy weather, no normal person will be able to do outdoor activities.
"Everyone tied the rope around their waists. Each person was three meters away. We started going up the mountain. We can't leave one person behind!"
Everyone tied their bodies, and Wang Yong walked in front with a wooden stick. The sled had already been buried. The sled had already been found in a place to bury it, and it was really a burden.
Then there was Yang Shangwu. After that, Lu Shan was the third place, and then Wu Zi and the others!
The wind and snow were blowing towards each other, and it was like the sand and gravel on the face. Fortunately, they were well prepared and had a windscreen. Otherwise, they would not even open their eyes under the wind and snow!
It was dark and I couldn't see the road ahead at all. I could only rely on the wooden sticks under my hands to explore the way, and then follow the feeling before!
This is undoubtedly very dangerous. Once you go off the wrong way, the mountain will be blocked with heavy snow, and they will not be able to keep the cold. This will make it a 20-degree night, and it will be frozen!
Even if they are not ordinary people, it is hard to say that they can be safe and sound in such a cruel environment.
The resistance of wind and snow was great, and it was time to go up the mountain and there was no road. Everyone consumed a lot of energy. Although everyone had eaten before, they still couldn't withstand the huge energy consumption. After walking for half an hour, they had to stop and rest.
"Wang Yong. Are we going in the right direction?"
"Mr. Lu, I don't know. I followed my feelings. If there was no deviation, there should be no mistake!"
"Then how long do you think we will get to that place?"
"I don't know. It will take at least one or two hours!"
"Okay, everyone works harder. When we get to the place, we can rest!" Lu Shan mobilized everyone and continued to move forward!
In the wind and snow, ignition is useless. You cannot use lighting tools like gasoline lamps, as it will attract the enemy's alertness.
So they can only climb the mountain in the dark. When they encounter steep places, they have to use hands and feet. They cannot tie ropes when climbing the mountain. Otherwise, they will roll down alone, and they will take a string. Therefore, the people in front must take care of the people behind at any time. Once the people behind fall behind, they must make a sound immediately, otherwise they will be out of sight!
In this wilderness, alone, even if the beasts are not taken away, they will be frozen to death.
The rest time is getting longer and longer. As soon as you stop, everyone is unwilling to move. Some people are wet all over. When they stop, the cold wind blows, and they are trembling all over, and they are so cold that they are shaking!
"You can't stop, keep walking, move, and use the heat in your body to dry your clothes, otherwise you will get sick!" Lu Shan immediately realized that stopping and resting was a wrong decision!
With Lu Shan’s encouragement and urging, everyone was close to their teeth, using their hands and feet, and slowly moved forward.
"Mr. Lu, look, that stone!"
"Well, I saw it. It seems that we are not too far away!" Lu Shan breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving, they found some reference objects, such as stones and trees, and picked some that are easier to remember and have different shapes.
In this way, even if you go astray, you can correct the direction through these reference objects that you have already remembered, so that you will not be able to find the direction like a headless fly.
"Wu Zi, tell everyone that you can rest soon. If you work harder, it will be here soon!" Lu Shan turned his head and said to Wu Zi behind him.
Finally arrived!
Everyone was relieved, but the place was here, but it took some time to find the entrance of the cave.
In advance, the entrance of the cave must have been buried under a thick layer of snow. Secondly, the entrance of the cave was disguised by Dong Sheng's door, so it was not so easy to find.
Moreover, the entrance of the hole is very small, and although the slope inside is relatively flat, if you step into the air, you may not be sure of the consequences!
Dong Shengtang has never been to this place since he discovered it. After all, this place is a Japanese and puppet territory. Once it is discovered, there is nowhere to hide. If the Japanese discover huge gold veins underground, it would be even worse!
Lu Shan also thought about it. Even if the gold mine really exists, it needs to be kept confidential to the outside world. The wealth is touching. If the Japanese knew that there was such a large gold mine here, it would be difficult for them to take risks!
Now it's just suspicion!
"Everyone can't stop, start looking immediately. First, use the branch or wooden stick in your hand, and then take your feet. Be careful!"
"yes!"
Fifteen people scattered, two people in a group, and started searching!
Ten minutes passed, nothing was discovered!
Half an hour passed, but there was no discovery. They had searched a side of the area that was about 100 meters in radius.
"What's going on? Are you going to get it wrong? Not here!"
"No, Brother Dong has a good memory and can't remember the wrong place. Maybe we didn't find the right direction!" Wang Yong said.
"Wang Yong, please meet again. See if there are any missing places!" Lu Shan asked.
"Brother Dong said that in order not to be discovered, he put some branches on it and covered it with stones."
"This is a problem. Do we need to remove all the snow here before we know?"
"No need to be so troublesome. Don't we have bayonets? Leaning on the ground, piercing them bit by bit, you may not feel the wooden stick, but the bayonet can penetrate the gap between stones!" Lu Shan thought for a moment.
"This is a good method, just do it!"
"Finished. Found..." A few minutes later, a special forces member screamed excitedly.
Everyone quickly got up from the ground and surrounded them.
"Look, I'll stab you with this knife!" The special forces member excitedly stabbed him in front of him!
The bayonet easily penetrated into a thick layer of snow, and encountered a touch of bump in the middle. But it easily continued to penetrate!
"Quick, clear the snow!" Lu Shan ordered immediately.
The fifteen people moved very quickly, and soon a hole with almost one person deep appeared in front of everyone.
"It's great, go in!" Wang Yong expressed his excitement before.
"Slow down!" Lu Shan grabbed Wang Yong and signaled Wu Zi.
Wu Zi took the fire stick, polished it, tied it with a lead wire, and slowly put the fire stick in.
The fire fold burns normally and there are no abnormalities.
"Mr. Lu. OK, the air in this hole is normal, there should be no problem!" Wu Zi slowly took the fire letter back!
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it. Everyone prepare their masks. Soak them in snow water, prepare!" Lu Shan ordered.
"yes!"
"Enlarge the hole, clean the surrounding traces, and prevent the snow from blocking the hole, so as to ensure air circulation!"
"I understand. You two, hurry up and use the branches to clean up the surrounding traces. Also, open the hole a little bigger. As long as our traces are not exposed, no one will go up the mountain, and no one will find this cave.
"yes!"
Wang Yong lit a kerosene lamp, then the first to enter the cave, followed by Wu Zi, then Yang Shangwu, and Lu Shan.
The entrance of the cave can indeed accommodate only one person, but after entering, it gradually becomes spacious. First, people need to bend over to walk inside. Gradually, people can not only walk upright, but even two people can walk in front and they are still a little rich!
After two special forces members who were dealing with the traces of the cave entrance came in, Lu Shan and the others continued to move forward.
"Mr. Lu, everyone is tired and hungry. It's very dry here and there is no wind yet. Can we take a rest and dry the clothes before going down?" Wu Zi suggested.
"Well, it makes sense. You're not going to send someone out to pick up some branches and come back?" Lu Shan nodded.
"I'll go, I know how to cut branches without being suspected!" Wang Yong said.
"Okay, Wu Zi, send two people to Wang Yong, be careful!" Lu Shan nodded. Anyone who has been a hunter knows how to hide his own traces and make the place he has walked very natural, like a place that was crushed by a wild beast.
More than ten minutes later, the three of them came in with a bundle of dry firewood on their backs. Fifteen people, five people in groups, found a relatively spacious place and made three fires!
The firewood is relatively dry, so there is not much black smoke when it burns. In addition, the hole is also dry. After the fire rises, the temperature in the hole also rises!
"Everyone takes off their underwear and bake it so that it will not be bad if it catches a cold!" Lu Shan ordered.
There is no clothes drying rack, but they have guns in their hands. Three guns support one point, and then three more points, and a wooden stick on it, and a simple clothes drying rack is made!
"Monk, I saw it, you secretly hid two bottles of wine..."
"Mr. Lu, don't bring this. You asked us to take off our clothes. The relationship is to plot against these two bottles of wine?" Yang Shangwu said with a sad face.
"Who asked you to hide it privately, why aren't others like you?"
"Ha ha……"
