Chapter 770 (1/2)
”I finally gave up, OK.” Li Qing suddenly interrupted Zhong Ruoxi and said hurriedly.
Zhong Ruoxi pursed her lips, her eyes twinkled, but she didn't say a word.
Li Qing took a deep breath: ”Qiuqiu is too smart. I'm really afraid of revealing something between words, so she will guess what I'm doing right away.”
”Have you ever thought about...” Zhong Ruoxi paused slightly. ”You may never come back. Don't you feel sorry that you didn't say goodbye to the people you love before you leave?”
A smile welled up at the corners of his mouth. Li Qing shook his head again and again: ”how could it? I promised Qiuqiu to take care of her all my life. I will go back and never get stuck here.”
Slightly over his head, Zhong Ruoxi stared at Li Qing's side face and stopped talking.
The two stayed quietly for more than two hours. The time passed silently. Zhong Ruoxi looked down at his electronic watch and stood up: ”ready to go.”
Ten people gathered again, crossed the vast forest and headed for the first scheduled place. There, the team will receive the first batch of air drop materials from the Longxi military, including radio communication equipment, arms, and essential food and drinking water.
Because they had carried insect repellent powder before, various poisonous insects in the primeval forest did not bring much trouble to the team, but a large number of poisonous snakes hiding in the grass and branches and leaves still attracted people's mood. The colorful poisonous snakes in different forms all imply danger. They are unique products of this rainforest, and only a small part of them can be identified by the knowledge of all the people in the team.
”It would be nice to bring colorful clouds.” Li Qing thought silently. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and press his pocket, touching the purse that the little girl shamefully presented many days ago.
This day was the 19th of the month, eight days before the memorial service for the dead soldiers in Xilong on the 27th. On the morning of this day, the team arrived at the first scheduled place.
The minute hand crossed the dial in an orderly way, and the time pointed to 7:05.
Shi Yinghui looked anxiously at the sky: ”it's been five minutes. Where's the material?”
”Wait a minute.” there was a trace of unspeakable cold in Zhong Ruoxi's voice.
Li Qing waved to the Qin and Wu dynasties not far away. The latter turned around and gave him a thumbs up, representing that everything was normal.
”Something should have happened.” Li Qing came up to Feng Yucheng and said in a low voice.
Nodding without trace, Feng Yucheng waved to teacher Deng again. The latter immediately came back, took out the map from his bag and spread it on the spot.
”The worst case,” Li Qing said in a deep voice.
Deng Shiwei was stunned, and immediately his eyes were slightly coagulated. He stretched out his hand and pointed on the map: ”according to the previous agreement, our second scheduled location is here on the 23rd, that is, four days later. We have enough food now. Saving for four days is not a problem, but there is a serious shortage of drinking water and ammunition.”
”Especially ammunition.” Deng Shi emphatically repeated, ”with the amount of ammunition we carried when we set out from Longxi, we can protect ourselves enough, but it's too difficult to get through the next blockade.”
Yang Xun said in a muffled voice, ”there is another key problem. Without a radio communication system, there is no way to contact the military in Longxi. In this way, we will become deaf and blind in the next few days. If the situation changes, we can only be beaten passively.”
”There's nothing I can do but overcome it,” Li Qing said in a deep voice. ”Since there's not enough bullets, let's play cold soldiers.”
”Set the white wolf with empty hands? It's really not good. It's the only way.” master Deng picked up his eyebrows. ”But this is just the worst case. I guess there's something wrong with Huang Jingyuan, but we're not so bad.”
But I didn't expect Deng Shi to hit the mark. The action of this team was not smooth at the beginning. Now it's really bad luck to go to grandma's house.
From seven o'clock in the morning as agreed in advance, until eight thirty, for a full hour and a half, I was stunned that I didn't see Ding dianer's materials airdropped.
Li Qing went to Zhong Ruoxi and glanced at her: ”it's already this time. Make an idea.”
”Don't wait.” Zhong Ruoxi took back her eyes, ”rush to the next scheduled place.”
The Qin and Wu dynasties, who were chewing leaves, stood up and spread their hands: ”what's the situation?”
Shi Yinghui replied in a deep voice: ”our UAV / aircraft may have been shot down by the enemy. Even stealth fighters may have been found.”
”Fuck me!” Ji Wenbin suddenly said, ”there's so much left. How can I eat in the next few days? If I fail the first time, I'll vote for the second time.”
”Impossible.” the Qin and Wu dynasties withdrew and patted Ji Wenbin on the shoulder. ”If the first time has been found, Huang Jingyuan will never dare to try the second time, it will only expose our position in advance. Don't say anything. Withdraw quickly. You're ready to drink cold water these days.”
The team left in a hurry, followed by another day's attack. It didn't stop to rest until dusk.
”Can you find the water source?” Li Qing asked the Qin Dynasty who had just returned from the investigation.
Qin WuChao shook his head: ”there are a lot of game, but it's a pity that he can't make a fire. He's greedy when he looks at it.”
”Shit, I feel loveless when I think of eating compressed biscuits in the next few days.” master Deng gnashed his teeth for a while.
