Chapter 777 (2/2)
After a moment of silence, Li Qing nodded: ”now the situation is basically clear. We should make a decision as soon as possible, whether to return the same way or continue to go deep.”
”This still needs to be decided?” Gu Yue raised her pretty face and surprised her eyes. ”What are you thinking?”
Zhong Ruoxi said, ”in that case, let's see what most people mean. I advocate moving forward.”
Gu Yue hissed, ”you don't have to say I know. You just care if you can arrive on time. When did you care about the life and death of these people?”
Shi Yinghui was not happy and said firmly, ”now I have reached this step. I insist on going on.”
”I object.” Ji Wenbin raised a hand. ”Gu Yue is right. A group of living people can't run ahead and fight with animals. Now director Zhong and brigade leader Shi insist on going inside. Gu Yue and I agree to go back. The vote is two to two. Let's see what other people mean.”
After that, Ji Wenbin turned his head to look at the others who were silent and stared: ”you... Talk? Why don't you talk?”
Therefore, Deng Shifeng Yucheng and the five people all looked at Li Qing with an embarrassed face.
Ji Wenbin was stunned: ”shit! I asked you what you mean. Why do you all look at Li Qing? Can he decide for you?”
”Hum.” Gu Yue snorted stiffly and stared at Li Qing with a disgruntled look on her face. ”Isn't that clear enough? These people all wear a pair of pants and listen to you alone. It depends on the meaning of most people. You can decide by yourself!”
Li Qing couldn't help but tut: ”you're a girl's house. Why are you always full of dirty words.”
Zhong Ruoxi reached out and stabbed Li Qing: ”less nonsense, no time to delay here.”
”This... This...” Li Qing stood up, looked into the dense forest, and then turned to Feng Yucheng, ”what do you think?”
”Turning back now is tantamount to giving up the task.” Feng Yucheng whispered back, ”you are the captain and make your own decision.”
The ball was kicked back again. Li Qing hesitated for a moment and looked at Deng Shi: ”what about you?”
”I never care about the so-called possibility of casualties. Which mission did we have in the past, there was no danger of dead people?” master Deng glanced disdainfully, then looked to the other side, ”you are the captain, make your own decision.”
”Shit!” Li Qing scolded a dirty word and waved fiercely, ”go!”
”Li Qing!” Gu Yue stood up and shouted.
The rain trickled down from above. Li Qing turned back, stared at Gu Yue for a while, and slowly narrowed his eyes: ”this road must go...”
”Kill yourself!” Gu Yue said bitterly, and then walked in front of Li Qing, ”I'll lead the way.”
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. At first, the ten people were still moving fast. Later, with the gradual deepening and the darkness, they had to slow down and walk carefully in the rain forest.
Gu Yue walked in front, Li Qing followed behind her, and others behind her also lined up, separated by a distance of one or two meters.
He raised his head, looked through the dense branches and leaves, and looked at the sky cut into fragments by the leaves. Li Qing's eyebrows were a little puzzled: ”we're clearly on the mountain road. According to the truth, the terrain has gradually moved to the top. Why are there swamps?”
Gu Yue answered softly, ”the soil here is different from other places. The soil is loose, but it is especially good at storing water. In this area of Western Asia, there is a drought lasting two or three months every autumn and winter, but when have you seen the lack of water here?”
”Hehe, it's good this time. We don't have to worry about drinking water.” Li Qing looked up and smiled bitterly.
”Don't talk nonsense. Maybe after today, you won't need to drink water.”
While talking, Gu Yue gave a slight meal at her feet. Yu grabbed the branch in her hand and poked it on the grass. Li Qing stretched her neck to see that the grass over there was easily penetrated by branches and stirred up a black mud. It seemed that there were some dense little things crawling in it.
”The next road is hard to go. Pay attention to your feet.” Gu Yue pursed her lips and whispered. Her voice soon dissipated in the dense rain and became very unreal.
Shi Yinghui came round to the front, pulled off the engineer's shovel, pouted a shovel in the mud, then turned on the waterproof flashlight and looked under his eyes.
After wiping his face full of rain, Shi Yinghui stared at the black beetles surging in the mud and couldn't help nodding: ”yes, it's this thing. The year I first came to Longxi, I took the team into the mountain to perform tasks, and more than half of the whole company died on this little thing.”
Ji Wenbin stretched his head and came over. Seeing those small insects mixed in the mud, he couldn't help feeling numb on his scalp: ”is this fun so powerful?”
