Agents of the Republic of China

Since they had been on the road for several days, the whole team seemed exhausted, so Scarlett ordered to rest in the cave for a day, and waited until the next day to set off near the first-line sky. Unexpectedly, it was just evening , an accident occurred.

Ross led the hunters back. Although he got a lot of prey, the faces of everyone were really not very good. After asking, he found out that two people in the team had disappeared for no reason.

After Scarlett learned about it, she hurried down from the cave on the top of the mountain.She still knows the situation of Tianmu Mountain. It belongs to the heartland area of ​​the mountain range. Moreover, the original rescuers stationed here for a while, and the surrounding forests and caves are well camouflaged and other facilities.Since the rescuers were evacuated, few people came here, and the desolation around them was enough to illustrate this situation.It is unlikely that the two missing persons were attacked by unknown persons.But there is no dangerous terrain in this area, right?Was it attacked by a wild animal?

Ross led people to search nearby for a long time, but because he was not familiar with the nearby terrain, he didn't dare to go deep, so he had to return without success.

Scarlett felt depressed when she lost two of her subordinates just after entering the mountain area. As the chief officer of this operation, she herself was full of confidence in this operation. She originally thought that returning to Tianmu Mountain was the most difficult task Part of it is just to determine the exact location of the gold, but it seems that there are still many unknown variables in this operation.

While it was still dark, Scarlett organized another group of people to conduct a carpet search in the area where Ross and the others had been haunted. Just in case, Scarlett ordered the participants to form groups of three, and each other Keep the distance within 100 meters.

In this way, the search operation continued until about eight o'clock in the evening, but nothing was found except for a rifle used by the missing person.The strange thing is that the rifle has no traces of use, and even the bullets in the chamber are intact.This made Scarlett even more determined that the missing personnel were not caused by a surprise attack. You must know that the personnel who followed Scarlett to Tianmu Mountain this time were all elite personnel from the U.S. military stationed in Shanghai, although they were not as good as the Marine Corps. However, compared with the various armed forces in the Chinese battlefield, its strength is still much higher.

Scarlett carefully inspected the surrounding environment again, but only found some overwhelmed weeds. Not far from the traces of the crushing, there was a downward hillside, and the only visible clue disappeared without a trace. up.

As the night gradually darkened, Scarlett had no choice but to call a group of search men back to the camp and check the number of people. This time, no one was missing.

But the disappearance of the two cast a shadow over the operation.During dinner, although a lot of wild game was roasted, the interest of the people was obviously not very high. After finishing the dinner in silence, Scarlett arranged for the night guards, and everyone extinguished the bonfire, and then went back to Go to the cave to rest.

Scarlett and two female subordinates slept in the highest cave.These two female secretaries are Chinese-Americans, and they are in charge of sending and receiving telegrams from the Shanghai intelligence department of the US military. This time they were brought here to ensure smooth communication with Shanghai.

At this time, Scarlett had already heard the news of the war in Wuxi, and the strength of the two sides in this battle was balanced. Scarlett's judgment was that once the battle started, it would end in no time.This is also in line with the expectations of the Americans. Attracting the Japanese forces in the occupied areas, especially in Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to Li Shiqun's side, it can also indirectly have a profound impact on the Pacific battlefield.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out the whereabouts of this batch of gold as soon as possible while Lin Xiaotang and the Japanese are all attracted to Wuxi.

Although it was early autumn, the cave was still a bit stuffy, so Scarlett simply moved the sleeping bag to the entrance of the cave.

Everything is quiet, and in the depths of the forest in the distance, perhaps it is the light reflected by the waves of the lake, as if a gemstone is placed in a black curtain, making the night in the whole mountain appear mysterious and serene.

The cool autumn wind blew into the cave along the entrance of the cave, which also made Scarlett's heart loose. After entering the mountain, she saw this familiar place, but Scarlett always felt that everything here was indescribable. Something was wrong, but Scarlett still couldn't tell what was wrong.

Thinking about these messy things, Scarlett gradually fell asleep.

In a trance, Scarlet felt as if she suddenly smelled a sleepy smell in her nostrils, as if a hot breath sprayed on her face in the haze.

Scarlett was startled, and grabbed the Springfield rifle with an optical sight on the side. Looking around, the hole and the surroundings were peaceful, but there was still a faint fishy smell in the air.

"Maybe the beast in the mountains just passed by?" Scarlett guessed.She quickly got out of the sleeping bag, walked quickly to the entrance of the cave, and looked around, except for the grass and trees blown by the wind, the surroundings were as usual.

After observing for several minutes, Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief, put down the rifle gently, turned around to look at the two radio operators, and was still in a deep sleep.Scarlett rubbed her temples, wondering if she was a little too sensitive.

Just as Scarlett was about to turn around, there was an indistinct sound in the darkness. Scarlett heard it clearly. It was a scream that was not fully uttered in time. The man seemed to be controlled by the neck, So that the sound is particularly low.

Scarlett trembled, and immediately turned back, flat-pointed the rifle, and put her eyes on the optical sight. Although the light was poor, fortunately there was still a faint moonlight.

In the grass at the foot of the mountain, behind a boulder, there was a dark whistle arranged by Scarlett, and the screams came from there.

In the dim vision, the black shadow of a beast flashed across the boulder. Scarlett fired fiercely. The sound of the gun pierced through the silent night sky, which was extremely ear-piercing, but the figure of the beast was no longer visible. The bullet struck the edge of the boulder, and sparks danced away into the darkness.

At this time, the people scattered in the cave had all appeared at the entrance of the cave, the weapons in their hands were pointing in all directions in the darkness, but their eyes were quite consistent looking at Scarlett at the entrance of the cave on the top of the mountain.

"Ross, flare!" Scarlett shouted.

Hearing this, Ross quickly took out a large-caliber pistol and fired a flare into the sky.

The huge fire ball rose into the sky, climbed to an angle that required people to look up, and then slowly fell.Taking advantage of this period of time, Scarlett held the rifle and scanned the illuminated area around the situation.

Except for the swaying grass and trees in Fenghuang, everything looks normal around.

The flares fell slowly, and finally disappeared into the thick pitch-black night.At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out of the black shadows, it was a rather huge furry figure, its figure was as fast as lightning, but Scarlett grasped this moment exactly, and locked onto it instantly Seeing that figure, the finger on the trigger was about to be pulled immediately.

"Crack", there was another clear gunshot in the night, a ghost-like bullet pierced through the night, and shot directly at the stone wall that Scarlett was leaning on. The bullet hole was far from Scarlett's left face. There are only two palm positions.Some of the stone chips stirred up by the bullet flew onto Scarlett's face

Scarlett turned pale with fright, and hurriedly turned her body backwards, and the furry beast figure disappeared without a trace at this moment.

After all, Scarlett was a sniper for many years. Under the attack, she immediately reacted, and the rifle protruded from the dead corner of the mountain again. It didn't take long for her to find the figure who shot herself.

On the flat ground under the hillside, among the grass swaying in the wind, a figure appeared for no reason.Scarlett was sure that she had searched this area completely, but no one could see how this person appeared.

The man stood in the wind like this, his body was covered with soft moonlight, his forehead was covered with locks of long hair, his body was covered with strange animal skins, and the rifle in his hand seemed to be emitting green smoke. .

Through the long hair, Scarlett could clearly feel a pair of cold eyes hidden behind it.

The man slowly raised one palm, stretched out his index finger, and shook it slightly in Scarlett's direction.

The subordinates in the cave at the foot of the mountain were enraged by his provocative action, and several of them immediately raised their guns to shoot, but their movements were too slow.

Two clear bursts dispelled the thoughts of all those who wanted to do it.

Because the two people who raised their guns first had become two cold corpses.

The man slowly put down the gun and stepped back slowly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if with obvious disdain.

Seeing this figure in a certain cave, Wang Xianqing trembled involuntarily, "The news Pei Zhongyan got is true. Could it be that he is...?"

That person just disappeared into the darkness, but none of Scarlett and her dozens of subordinates dared to do anything again.

By the time Scarlett led people to feel the boulder in the meadow below the mountain, there were no figures around.

The secret whistle arranged before was quietly lying behind the boulder, although he had long lost his breath, but his eyes were still wide open in a daze.Due to the fresh blood flowing, the whole face was extremely pale.

There was a clear wound on the throat, which looked hideous and terrifying.

Rose suddenly spoke, with a tremor in his voice, "Look!"

Following the direction of Rose's finger, everyone looked up, and there were several large blood-red characters written on the back of the boulder. "Move forward, die!"

In the dark night, suddenly there was a stern wolf howl, and everyone shuddered.

Scarlett's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered some dusty past events, "Could it be him?"
