C642 (1/2)
In summer, grassland plants grow vigorously. However, it is in the most serious dry season of the year. There has been no rain for more than two months. The sun is so hot that it is extremely hot.
The motorcade passed through the grassland, and there was no beautiful scenery except the weeds and loess. But when you stand up from the carriage, your sight suddenly widens. You can see the endless prairie at a glance. You can only see the shadow of the mountain in the western sky.
There are still no local activities. A few bison are watching warily in the distance, and a few lions are sleeping under the crooked neck tree in the distance. The midday sun makes the animals listless.
Chen shisan and others have been driving on the grassland for three days. The road condition is good, and it is rare that they are calm. Since the war in mountain zero, there is no trace of the enemy. They seem to disappear completely, and there is no attack and harassment along the way.
Moreover, the terrain is open. Even if you don't send people around to investigate, you can still observe the situation dozens of kilometers away. 200 kilometers further ahead is the city of Sau controlled by the government army, which is the old nest of the government army. Thousands of well-equipped troops control it, and the outpost has spread here.
It seems that the future is very good and there will be no danger for the team. From the convoy to the drivers, they were all in high spirits, thinking that they could reach their destination in two days, finish the task and get rich bonus. Because of years of war and chaos, it is extremely difficult to transport materials from outside, so they not only transported materials, but also bought all kinds of vehicles.
As long as the motorcade enters the city, they will complete the task, and there will be a special plane to pick them up and leave the country, and there will be no danger on their return journey.
However, Chen shisan's uneasiness became more and more intense. It had nothing to do with the current environment, and his spiritual sense could not detect any danger. It was an instinctive reaction to danger. The crisis has been with him for several days, and the closer he gets to the city of Sau, the more intense. So these days, he has been ordering ATU and others not to relax their investigation, and he is personally on the front line. He often drives more than ten kilometers in front of the team to inquire about the terrain, which makes the old cat feel that he is making a mountain out of a molehill and does not agree with his sense of crisis.
From noon to sunset, they advanced dozens of kilometers. Because it is close to the city of Sawu, the road condition is getting better and better, and there is no need to stop to repair the road when running for tens of kilometers. March at this speed overnight, and you can enter the city of Sau in five hours. Qu Dawei is already in contact with the government forces in the city, but he has not yet.
A river appears in front of the river. The dry season has dried up the river severely. The beaches on both sides occupy eight floors of the river, with only four or five meters of water in the middle, and the water flow is very shallow and slow. In the lower reaches of the river is a small lake, but the scenery is charming. The blue surface of the lake is sparkling, which makes people's eyes bright.
Some people unload equipment from engineering vehicles and are about to build a floating bridge on the river. They don't plan to rest here. They are going to cross the river overnight and go straight to the city of Sawu.
Chen shisan frowned and suddenly waved, ”stop! Stop and rest on this side of the river tonight. ”
Many people cheered happily, but more people were reluctant. Among them, Lao Mao and Qu Dawei went to Chen shisan and asked, ”it's only over 100 kilometers. Why don't you drive all night long? It's not difficult to cross this river?”
”Everyone is in good shape. It's OK to march all night.”
”Is Mr. Chen too careful?”
Chen shisan did not explain, but said coldly: ”execute the order! The old cat led the team and organized the trucks. ATU came with me. ” He took Artu to cross the river, and they all scolded each other face to face, but they knew that they could not disobey his orders. The convoy began to command the vehicles to form an array on a high place on the Bank of the river according to the previous plan.
Compared with the previous motorcade parking along the road, this kind of formation is not only in rows, but also in multiple cover positions, which is very troublesome to set up, and it will increase the workload for at least two hours. This has caused many people to complain. Fortunately, Chen shisan has established his prestige. If they have complaints, they can only follow them.
