If it is summer, the difficulty of Hadamuzdaban and Murzate Glacier will be reduced, and crossing the river will become a high-risk area for accidents.If it catches up with the widespread rainfall in the mountainous areas, the flash floods will come as soon as they are said, without any warning in advance.

At this time, regardless of people or animals, as long as they are in the valley, they can basically wait to die, and there is nowhere to hide.No matter how good the water quality is, people can't bear the impact of the flood mixed with broken wood and pebbles, so go directly downstream to fish for minced meat and bones with nets.

After half a kilometer, Hong Tao gradually replaced Zhang Weiping and Mai Tijiang at the front of the team, and the distance became farther and farther, but remained within one kilometer.If it exceeds this length, the individual communication terminal will not work well.

Walking for breakfast and walking for lunch, Hong Tao kept marching without saying stop.After two o'clock in the afternoon, the altitude dropped to 2000 meters, and the last foothold marked by Crimea on the map also appeared in the telescope.

It is said that there used to be a jade mine there, and Hong Tao might not have found it even if he hadn't carefully described the characteristics of the mining site in Crimea.It is said to be a mine, but it is actually a rocky hillside.The people who opened the mines blasted a small piece of flat land halfway up the mountain, and built a few houses with local materials and gravel.

Times have changed, and since this area was classified as a national nature reserve, all mining operations have been banned, and this jade mine has naturally been abandoned.

However, those small houses are still there, but they cannot be seen from the angle of the foot of the mountain. You have to climb the ancient plank road halfway up the opposite side of the mountain, and you have to pay special attention to them to distinguish them. The stone and the house are almost the same color, a completely protective color. .

Hong Tao didn't find another way, and climbed up the ancient plank road obediently, but before poking his head out to observe, he lay his body on the plank road, and only peeked through the cracks in the stone with a telescope.

I don’t know if I don’t see it, I’m shocked when I see it!The jade mine hut is still there, but there are living things near the house.They are either standing or lying down, with earthy gray fur, long necks and hunchbacks... When you take a closer look, they are actually a group of camels!

"Click, click, click, click, click, click..." Without further ado, Hong Tao retracted his head, pressed the microphone on button three times in a row, and repeated it again.

"Click... Wow... Click... Wow..." Ten seconds later, there was a burst of electrical noise in the headset.

This is the simple communication code agreed upon by Hong Tao and Xu Xiaoman, three short current noises are the alarm, and one long current noise is the understanding.If Xu Xiaoman was out of his mind, they should stop now and find a place to hide, quietly waiting for the scout to send a safety signal.

Why is it so troublesome? It's not good to just pick it up.Isn't Hong Tao a born thief? He thinks that he has a personal communication terminal that can scan and capture nearby radio communications, and others may have similar devices.For safety reasons, if you can't talk directly, you should avoid it, and just express your meaning clearly.

"Little rabbit, be good, open the door... Grandma Wolf is back!" After receiving Xu Xiaoman's answer, Hong Tao heaved a sigh of relief, it's okay, no trouble, this is a very good teammate.

The next link still depends on the high technology, use the communication terminal to search!Oh, no, no need to search blindly, the arbiter's walkie-talkie seized last night has the exact frequency band, aim at it and start teasing, see if there is any response.

"Hey, hello, Captain, is that you?" I really couldn't help being amused. I heard the intermittent sound of electricity in the mobile station, and soon someone spoke. I called back and forth several times, and fell silent again without getting an answer.

"1, 2..." Hong Tao knew that he had met the adjudicator since he saw the group of camels. No matter how rough the camels would be, they would not take the initiative to go to such a fucking place to eat rocks and play. Someone must have brought them.

Now not only has the guess been confirmed, but a living person has also been seen.Using the walkie-talkie to call to no avail, four people came out of the hut in the jade mine one after another, two of them held binoculars to look towards the north of the valley.

"Two officials...not more than ten people!" Hong Tao had only one purpose in doing this, to let the enemy show up, collect as much useful information as possible, and use it to judge the opponent's strength.

For example, the appearance of these four people is very illustrative!The two with binoculars are obviously military officers, and the two silly looking around with naked eyes are basically soldiers.

According to the establishment of the adjudicator, if a team is full of ten people, then it is likely that three teams will be encountered.There were two small teams that went in to track Xu Xiaoman, led by a squadron leader, but they were all killed by him.It is likely that another team is guarding here. In addition to guarding the livestock, it also has the functions of receiving and guarding the back road.

"Niece, shoot... yes, shoot into the sky, immediately!" But no matter how he searched with the telescope, Hong Tao could only see four people, which made him very uncomfortable.So it's time for Xu Xiaoman to play a role, as a bait, to see if he can tease the fish out.

"Pa..." Don't look at it as a valley, but the sound of the gunfire was not very long, dry and without any effect.

"Damn, you can really hide... Yo Yo Yo, there is another... Bandit Sun, you are my master..." But it was such a dry and crisp sound that made Hong Tao suddenly feel that he was not wretched enough.

As a man with binoculars kept calling the sentries, Hong Tao found at least three very hidden sentries on the hillside, river valley and woods.If they don't move, it's really hard to spot just by looking.

The sentries on the hillside were lying in a pile of broken stones. Their gray cloaks were a natural protective color and almost blended with the ground. They could monitor most of the activities near the river valley without moving.

The sentinel in the valley huddled between two rocks, one large and one small. From his perspective, he couldn't see the valley, but he could look up to the hillsides on both sides. Anyone who wanted to sneak close to the jade mine would be spotted by him.

The sentinel in the woods opposite the jade mine is probably in the same line as him. He also likes to climb up trees and hide among the branches to observe around.

Fortunately, I was more of a chicken thief, and I went up the ancient plank road from a kilometer away, and I still lay on the ground to observe secretly.Otherwise, if you walk another 200 meters, you will be discovered by at least two sentry posts, and then you will become prey in the trap.

Chapter 553 Jade Mine 2

From this point of view, it is really reasonable for the adjudicator to defeat the rebel army steadily.Not only do they have an advantage in weapons and equipment, but they also have more combat training than the Rebel Army, and they are more disciplined.Even if the East Asian Alliance provides logistical support materials, it will be difficult to reverse the situation immediately in this small-scale strangulation battle.

Of course, there is another important chess piece that can turn the situation around, not counted.Compared with the judge, he is more wretched and thieves, with better weapons and equipment.This is probably the main reason why Zhou Yuan asked Xu Xiaoman to come over to help her. Not only did that woman want to satisfy her curiosity, she also wanted to use her strength to kill two birds with one stone.

"Stinky bitch, when I turn over, I'll make you kneel and sing Conquer!" And he obviously became that bird, and he was also hit by a heavy object, unable to spread his wings and fly high.Thinking of such a situation, Hong Tao gritted his teeth with hatred, wishing to immediately catch Zhou Yuan in the dense forest of the valley and ravage him to his heart's content.

No, it's not enough to just ravage, it's a tigress over forty years old, it's hard to say who ravaged whom.She must not be allowed to touch even a little bit of power, and her life would be worse than death!

"Meet the adjudicator, about ten people, camp and rest until dark!" After thinking for a long time on the ancient plank road full of broken stones, Hong Tao couldn't find a way to break the situation, so he had to inform Xu Xiaoman to tell them not to panic Don't just guess.

Now as long as I show up, I will be spotted by at least one sentry post.The only way is to wait, wait until after dark to play the role of night vision equipment, and rely on high technology to remove them one by one.In addition, Hong Tao is not sure that there are only three sentry positions. If you want to see more, you have to wait and see who can survive the other. I don't believe you will not change guards!

Waiting is the most torturous job, and waiting without moving around is even more torturous.But Hong Tao was used to it, so he fell asleep lying on the hard gravel road, and even dreamed.

I dreamed that Jiao San took Jiao Si and shot him with a bow and arrow. The hero was no match for four hands, so I had to run away, but my legs became heavier and heavier as I ran. I wanted to shoot an arrow, but when I woke up, I sucked in a mouthful of soil with a sudden shock.

"Bah, bah..." While spitting out the dirt in his mouth, he squinted at the sky, seeing that Nima was still on, and went to sleep, maybe this time he was chasing them with a machine gun.You can't suffer even in a dream, damn it, you dare to shoot yourself!

"How could Teacher Fang be bitten by a zombie?" Leaving aside Hong Tao who was killing all directions in his dream, after walking north for more than half a kilometer, Xu Xiaoman was chatting with Zhuma behind two fallen dead tree trunks.

Facing the wounded red-robed nun sitting on a stretcher, Xu Xiaoman really wanted to use some means to dig out all the secrets of the redeemer.But with Hong Tao's warning in front of her, she couldn't use all means, and she was unwilling, so she had to pretend to be enthusiastic and caring, trying to get some information.

"It's not a zombie...it's, it's the blue devil, who suddenly appeared when passing by the ranch."

Zhu Ma didn't know Xu Xiaoman's real identity, and thought she was a member of the rebel army, so she didn't raise her vigilance too much.But as soon as the words came out, he suddenly remembered Hong Tao's warning. Fortunately, the moves were not old enough, and he had time to make up a story that sounded more reliable.

"Then how did you meet him...Yuluo?" Xu Xiaoman is not a vegetarian either, just a pause and a flicker in the eyes of the other party made her realize that something was wrong, so she quickly changed the subject, planning to break through from the surrounding area first.

"It's quite interesting to say, he is very good at disguising, pretending to be a herdsman deceived me for several months..."

Ever since Zhuma confessed her identity and got Hong Tao's promise to take her and her sister back to their hometown, she has clearly left the scope of espionage, not only in terms of vigilance, but in all aspects.

How should I put it, it's a bit like Da Songxin after a narrow escape, gradually recovering her nature as a young girl, loving to talk and laugh, talking about the process of getting acquainted with Hong Tao with joy.

"No wonder he has a special pass..." But in Xu Xiaoman's ears, the short words of these parents were all useful and rare information.If Zhuma and Hong Tao didn't tell her, she would never be able to find out these inside stories in her whole life.

Although Hong Tao's disguise cannot be completely stripped off, he can portray a person's true colors through his style of acting, personality, eating habits, etc. It is called character sketching in terms of terminology, but he does not use a brush.

"He can also make dried fish, is it really so delicious?" Xu Xiaoman, who worked hard and listened patiently to the story, finally found a breakthrough.

Zhuma is talking about the herdsman Biresi who has gone through mountains and rivers to catch big white fish in three days, and he can also make delicious fish jerky.This is just a story to the ears of ordinary people, not too exciting, but it is a great benefit to Xu Xiaoman.

Before implementing the Bird Flock Project, she had carefully studied the materials of Xinjiang Province. At the same time, she was engaged in agricultural research before the end of the world. She also participated in the cold-water fish artificial breeding project in Northeast China, so she is very familiar with fish.

Hearing the large white fine scale fish mentioned by Zhuma, she keenly realized that this is not an ordinary fish species, not only in Xinjiang, but also in cold water fish all over the country.If the details of this fish can be further determined, it may be easier to find the habitat of this mysterious shepherd.

Although the superior did not assign this task to himself, as the ancients said, he will not accept the order of the king outside.As an intelligence officer, the ability to strictly execute orders is considered the lowest level, and the ability to carry out work independently and effectively, and even to assess the situation and continue to collect useful intelligence when separated from the guidance of superiors is considered qualified.

From the standpoint of the East Asian Union, both the Lone Ranger Yoro and the herdsman Bires belong to the category that can be won.But through close observation of this person, it may be difficult to persuade or coerce or lure him verbally.Every time you learn more about the other party's details, you have to take the initiative when negotiating conditions in the future.

As for whether such a despicable method should be used against the savior, Xu Xiaoman felt that he couldn't say that.It is necessary to distinguish between public and private, the grace of saving life is a personal relationship, if possible, I am willing to sacrifice my life for rescue.

But work is work, and what needs to be investigated clearly still needs to be investigated.In fact, a thorough investigation is also for your own good. How can it be possible to integrate into the big family that leads mankind into glory again with the always mysterious!

"Master, do we really want to bring the female spies back to the base?" Zhang Weiping and Mai Tijiang were resting and watching behind the big rock a hundred meters away, watching the two women chatting and laughing with great enthusiasm. , Mai Tijiang remembered Zhuma's suspicious identity again, and asked the leader's opinion in a low voice.

"If Representative Xu says there is no problem, then it is all right. She may have an order from the East Asian Union and the permission of the high-level. She will not deliberately harm us. In the future, we must pay attention to discipline and unity, and say what you don't think!" Zhang Weiping The answer he gave was very standard and emotional, but he really didn't think so in his heart.

If you want to question Xu Xiaoman's decision, it's definitely not enough.Ever since the female representative from the East Asian Alliance arrived in Baishui City, the soldiers and family members of the rebel army did not treat her as an outsider.

Alone across most of the Southern Xinjiang Basin, after going through untold hardships, and was seriously injured, just to send help and friendship to the rebels on behalf of the East Asian Alliance, not to mention just a woman, even if there are a few middle-aged men who dare to try Try it, and there are a few who can finish it alive.

The world will involuntarily worship and respect heroes no matter when and where, and people like Xu Xiaoman basically meet the meaning of heroes.What's more, she is an excellent doctor herself. Even though she studied veterinary medicine at first, after years of training, she is also very good at treating human diseases.

In Baishui City, I don't know how many people have received her free treatment, and I dare not say that they have rejuvenated their lives. Anyway, there are many patients who have been saved and babies who have been delivered.

The most important thing is that with the on-the-spot investigation and truthful report of this female representative, the rebels finally hope to receive assistance from the outside world and see the possibility of victory.

In a situation where materials are scarce and the overall battlefield is passively beaten, it is a rare thing to be able to obtain material and personnel assistance without selling too much bottom line. The importance of female representatives is definitely more than that of any resistance Army commander!

Chapter 554 Black Bee

But... Zhang Weiping has a lot of opinions on this mission.The first is the question of whether it is worth it!What is the purpose of sending such a precious representative to participate in a rescue operation that is likely to have no return? What else can be more important than contacting the East Asian Union anytime and anywhere!

The second is why?A legendary lone ranger, a very mediocre lurker, a female spy who has been exposed as a redeemer... no matter how you calculate it, it seems that there is no need to mobilize a large number of rescuers.

In the end, it was too late!Although only five rebels came to this operation, the weapons and ammunition they carried were all the stocks in the First Division.If these equipments were used to defend the Baishui City airport, maybe they could kill a few more adjudicators, or they might be able to defend until the reinforcements from the East Asian Alliance arrived.

It's good now, two of the most valiant veterans in combat died, and in exchange for an arrogant lone ranger and a female spy with a wound on her leg.To actually ask his subordinates to actively cooperate with him in the battle... No wonder he can figure it out!

"Then do we really want to listen to that guy?" Mai Tijiang had no objection to the teacher's answer. His wife had to rely on Representative Xu's help to keep the mother and child safe. This situation must be remembered at all times.

But Xu means he is a good person, but it doesn't mean that Yuluo is also a good person.Isn't it just the Redeemer soldiers who killed a few gangsters in the refugee area and exploited the refugees? He also killed the judge himself. Isn't he a hero in comparison!

"He once saved Representative Xu and Lao Cao. He single-handedly wiped out three teams of judges. He almost killed even Wacker. Today, he wiped out two entire teams. You've done it!" Zhang Weiping became annoyed the more he listened. , I feel annoyed when I think of the face hidden behind the four big eyes, but I can't say the reason for the annoyance, which is even more annoying.

"...If you give me those equipment, maybe it will work." Mai Tijiang curled his lips and was still unconvinced. In his opinion, whoever has such powerful night vision equipment will be very powerful.Of course, he had to stop peeing his pants when he was surrounded by dozens of enemies. He really couldn't guarantee this, mainly because he had never experienced it before.

"In terms of personal combat ability, we are not as good as him. Even if we have those equipments, we can't find batteries. It's better to give a few more bullets. It's just this matter... It's not bad, I got two weapons from the Judgment team all at once. The ammunition, as well as the machine gun, are all credited to him, bear with it, the difficulties are temporary."

Regarding the slander behind his subordinates, Zhang Weiping can still try his best to be as calm as possible.It's just that he has a higher position than Mai Tijiang, and he knows more and is more confused.

The decision made by the military this time is too abnormal, more like a forced compromise.And the pressure that can make the military or even higher levels compromise will definitely not come from the Redeemer, let alone other forces. It seems that only the East Asian Alliance can do it.

But why the East Asian Alliance would do this is too brain-intensive. It is understandable for them not to trust the generals of the rebel army, but it is hard to make sense for even Representative Xu to give up.Moreover, Representative Xu himself did not seem to have any objections, and accepted it frankly.

You must know that the plane that landed is their own army. If there is a mistake, it will not only lose tens of hundreds of elite soldiers, but also greatly damage morale. Who will bear the responsibility at that time.

"What the hell is he waiting for? He has been waiting stupidly for more than two hours!"

Looking at the guns and ammunition around him, the resentment in Mai Tijiang's heart suddenly decreased a lot.However, when he remembered that his companions near Whitewater City were using their lives to block the attack of the adjudicator, he couldn't help becoming impatient again, wishing to immediately send the weapons back to join the battle.

"Should have encountered the enemy. The adjudicator is very likely to have a rear guard. He is not a god. If you want to use less against more, you will be more confident after dark...I will ask Representative Xu. There are at least five hours, can you let us try first."

Zhang Weiping was even more anxious if he was anxious. Not only did he have his subordinates but also his family members in Baishui City.Even if the adjudicator leaves some people around here, there shouldn't be too many. With enough weapons and ammunition to rely on, they can still fight recklessly.

"Click click...click click..."

"Say..." Hong Tao, who was dreaming and waking up, was a little impatient when he was woken up by the sound of electricity from the earphones.

"Biges... Uncle, the situation in Baishui City is very dangerous. If there are not many enemies, can you let Master Zhang lead someone to charge first?" Xu Xiaoman asked softly through the earphones, speaking very politely, but Anxiety can be clearly felt.

"The enemy has at least one squad, and the terrain is very unfavorable to us. If we approach rashly, we will be shot by crossfire...give me some more time!"

This is why Hong Tao is unwilling to cooperate with strangers. The combat concepts are too far apart, and it is easy to make mistakes after interfering with each other.Making a mistake on the battlefield means death, and there is no chance to correct it.

But Xu Xiaoman's worry is not blind. If Baishuicheng Airport loses more manpower, there may be many juniors who have fought with him before. Their lives are also their lives.

"One shot, two shots, oh...it's too late!" The earphones fell silent, Hong Tao rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath and put his head closer to the crevice of the rock to observe carefully, sometimes writing and drawing on the ground with his fingers Draw, trying to calculate the shooting time.

But the result was very disappointing. Even if Jiao San was called, it would be impossible to eliminate the three sentries before the enemy sentries reacted, and it was unclear whether there were more hidden sentries.

Just when Hong Tao gritted his teeth, frowned and stared, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks in vain, a low humming sound suddenly came from his ears.It sounded so familiar, Hong Tao shuddered violently and turned his head slowly.

Sure enough, a knuckle-sized insect that was more black and less yellow was hovering above its head.

"...Hey, grandson thief! I didn't invite you, get out, go play somewhere else!" Seeing this little guy, Hong Tao, who dared to go over and slap a zombie, suddenly faltered. Blow through your mouth, trying to dissuade you.

Hong Tao knew this insect very well. It was called the black bee, which was unique to Xinjiang Province. It seemed to be a kind of wild bee, but it was larger than ordinary wild bees.They usually build their nests in dead trees, and some hang on the slopes of the cliffs to avoid rain. The honey smells very fragrant.

But... this kind of dark little guy has a very fiery personality. When encountering animals close to the nest, they basically attack them without saying a word. Dare to try to steal honey from the black hive.

In the first spring when Hong Tao first arrived in Sailimu Lake, he once encountered a small black bee hive in a nearby valley and coveted the fragrant honey, so he took a risk and tried it once.

As a result, before even seeing the beehives, they were stung by the bee swarm and ran away. Two layers of cold-proof clothes couldn't stop them, and they still didn't leave after running for half a kilometer.In the end, I had to jump into the icy cold lake to avoid being stung to death, but my face was already swollen like a pig's head, and it took four or five days for the swelling to completely subside after itching and itching.

Later, the Crimean was more adept at playing, and specially picked homemade herbal torches to attack in the early morning of summer.At this time, most of the worker bees went out to collect honey, and the rest were smoked by the special smoke and lost their attack targets for a short time, so they had a chance to cut some honey.

But we must make a quick decision. Black bees have good physical strength and a large search range. Once the hive is attacked, they will attack nearby animals indiscriminately. If they run late, they will be chased and stung.Moreover, their toxicity is very strong, ordinary people will be poisoned after a dozen blows, and if there are more, they will be stung to death.

Every year, herdsmen’s cattle, sheep, horses, and even sheepdogs are stung by black bees and go crazy and fall down the mountain to death. Therefore, in the list of threats to the Crimea, small-scale wolves, brown bears, and snow leopards are not the first. The worst thing to mess with is this small flying insect.

But this black bee didn't know if it was looking at Hong Tao's colorful combat uniform like a flower, circling around and always refusing to leave.Hong Tao simply didn't want to drive him away, he took out a piece of fruit candy, crushed it and put it on the nearby stone, and poured some water on it.

To say that the perception ability of animals is really powerful, the shape of the black bee's circle changed in just over ten seconds, up and down as if dancing, and then landed on the stone, licking and scratching at the broken sugar .

Chapter 555 Black Bee 2

"Brother, do me a favor. Next time I pass by, I will definitely get some sugar water to repay you... Hey hey... Be careful, don't be impatient, it will be ready soon!" When the black bee was completely immersed in the delicious sweets, Hong Tao suddenly shot it Buckled in the palm, of course, with gloves on!

Then there is a very complicated set of operations, pinch the black bee's body so that it cannot break free or get hurt, then get some gauze from the first aid kit, and carefully tie it around the black bee's waist.

"Go... go home and call your lord, I won't run away!" Soon, the black bee with a gauze head tied around his waist regained his freedom. Although he flew a little heavy and staggered, he still flapped his wings tenaciously and flew towards the hillside.

"Good guy, how much honey must be here!" Hong Tao held up his binoculars and stared at the flight path of the black bee through the cracks in the rock, and laughed after a while.

He found a black bee's nest at the edge of the woods. It was a half-dead fir tree. There was a meter-long crack in the trunk four or five meters above the ground, and black bees crawled in and out from time to time.

"A man has to be tougher on himself!" After calculating the approximate distance, Hong Tao pulled out his pistol and smiled grinningly while twisting the silencer.

He already has a way to eliminate the sentries without revealing his tracks, and the swarm of black bees are his helpers!Of course, this group of helpers is a double-edged sword. As long as the hive is destroyed, they will launch indiscriminate attacks on living creatures within a certain range, and they will not be spared.

But now that the matter has come to an end, it's a pig's head, it seems that he is more resistant to toxins than ordinary people, and those sentries of the adjudicator probably don't have this ability.

"Hello! Give the walkie-talkie to Mr. Zhang..." After installing the silencer, Hong Tao began to call Xu Xiaoman, and arranged tasks for Zhang Weiping and Mai Tijiang.

"Huh...don't come here, don't come here..." After Zhang Weiping and Maitijiang's movement was in place, Hong Tao took a deep breath, stretched out the barrel of the gun from the crack in the stone, and aimed at the tree trunk tens of meters away.Now it's his turn to try his luck, if all the black bees come to find him, he can only flee.

"Click... 嘡! Click... 嘡!"

To say that Hong Tao's marksmanship is not particularly bad, at least he can still hit a tree trunk with a diameter of more than half a meter, and the first shot hits the center of the honeycomb, and the dry wood chips are scattered, revealing a hole the size of a fist. .In order to ensure the result of the victory, he shot two more shots, and broke off a large piece of dry bark more than half a meter long.

The black bees were angry, the house was demolished in the winter, and the cold wind was blowing in, who is so wicked!With the sound of low-pitched air vibrations, a large number of black bee warriors rushed out, like a few wisps of black smoke, hovering slightly at the edge of the forest, and pounced in several directions.
