Agents of the Republic of China

Scarlett clearly remembered the competition with Lin Xiaotang at that time. The two fell down the hillside together and spent most of the night in a cabin in the valley. During this period, Lin Xiaotang guessed the owner of this cabin. Only then did his mind change drastically because of his true identity, and he stood in the vast night and yelled a person's name towards the mountains.Scarlett remembered clearly that the name was "Zhang Ergou!"

Scarlett still remembered that she had heard something about Zhang Ergou, that he used to be a good friend of Lin Xiaotang, why he appeared here, and what was the meaning of the note Lin Xiaotang left when he left , Scarlett is unknown.

Scarlett is very aware of the weight of this person in Lin Xiaotang's heart. Scarlett is a little confused about the reason why this person came to stop them, but after all, these subordinates all came with her. Now there are three accidents and missing Needless to ask, those two were also the work of that savage named Ergou.Although the subordinates were afraid of his skill, they were excited at this moment and insisted on getting rid of him quickly.Although Scarlett didn't want to hurt Ergou because Lin Xiaotang didn't want to hurt Ergou, she couldn't openly stop her.

In view of Ergou and his wolf's elusiveness, Scarlett and the others also secretly increased their caution.Basically, no matter whether they were marching or sleeping in the open, they kept their guns in their hands, and they formed a group of twos and threes, closely defending them. After two days, there was no sign of Ergou, a man and a wolf.

When camping at night, Ross led a few people on patrol, and it didn't take long before he stumbled back and pointed to a bush not far away, panting palely, but couldn't speak.

Scarlett picked up the rifle, took the men and ran towards the bushes.

There was a ravine behind the bushes, and the two female radio operators accompanying them saw the scene in the ravine, their faces changed drastically, and they turned around and walked back, unable to hold back and vomited profusely.

Scarlett and the others also froze on the spot.

The ravine is densely covered with thorns, and there are more than a dozen skeletons lying in the grass, and they are just skeletons. In addition, there are a few broken hands and limbs. Judging by their clothes, they are the two people who disappeared before. Only in the early autumn, the corpses already gave off a rancid smell.

Scarlett held her breath, took out her clothes and mask from her pocket, put on her mask, and jumped into the ravine.Rose also jumped down with a few people.

Scarlett identified it carefully, and it was indeed her subordinate. Looking at the wound, it was clear that it was bitten by a wild beast.The two of them should have been attacked by that wild wolf, and this part of the ravine was left after being bitten and devoured by the wild wolf.

But what happened to these bones in the ravine? Could it be that they were all "prey" of wild wolves?

Rose squatted down and searched carefully among the bones, trying to find clues to prove these bones.

After searching for a while, Rose and others found some small things.Wrap it up with a piece of white cloth, and prepare to take it back and carefully identify it.

Scarlett looked at these skeletons, but some questions came to her mind.These skeletons are not tall, so they should not be Americans or Europeans.In addition, there was no weapon found in these bones. This is a bit unreasonable in the barren mountains and mountains. In such a desolate place, even a woodcutter who enters the mountain should have a hatchet, and these people even have one for self-defense. None of the weapons were found.

The reason may be very simple. These bones were hidden here, and all the weapons they carried were confiscated.

Finally found the body of the companion, but everyone's heart is still heavy.Scarlett and the others had no choice but to bury these remnants and place prominent signs on them.Only then did I leave.

Back at the camp, Scarlett immediately ordered to strengthen the intensity and level of night patrols.Leaving the rescue station, this place has gone deep into the hinterland of Tianmu Mountain, and the geographical situation is beyond Scarlett's control. This time is the most suitable for Ergou's sneak attack, so be extra careful.

Wang Xianqing followed the crowd and saw the skeleton in the ravine, without saying anything or greeting anyone, he went back to the camp and got into the tent, no one knew what he was doing inside.

Scarlett just called Rose and came to her tent.Rose took out the package from the backpack and placed it in front of Scarlett.

The things are very simple, just a small flagon, a metal cigarette case, and a small thing like a belt buckle, all of which are so rusty that it is difficult to make out the words and signs on it.

Scarlett gently scraped off the rust on it with a dagger, and washed it with clean water several times, finally revealing some clues.

"This is something from the Japanese!" Scarlett said in surprise.

"Japanese?" Ross was surprised. "As far as I know, there is no large-scale Japanese army stationed in Tianmu Mountain, and no large-scale battles broke out. How can there be Japanese bones?"

"Sir, there is another thing. The Japanese care most about the remains of soldiers who died in battle. They usually do everything possible to snatch the corpses back, cremate them uniformly, put them in jars and bring them back. I have never heard of such a situation where the corpses are exposed in the wilderness." !"

Scarlett thought about it carefully, "You checked the bones just now, what did you find? Can you determine how they died?"

Ross nodded, "It wasn't caused by the attack of wild beasts. They all died in close combat. There were knife wounds and gunshot wounds. I also found some bullet casings and warheads."

"However, it's a strange problem that no weapons were found!" Ross was very surprised.

"Also!" Rose suddenly thought of something, "Tom just told me that when they searched southward, they found some graves, but there were no tombstones, and there were about 20 of them. There will be gravestones buried here."

"Could it be saving the mother?" Scarlett immediately vetoed her own answer.For a long time, rescuers have been operating near their own station, and even the previous battle with the Japanese before the evacuation did not go beyond the range of the mountainous area.There are two days' journey from here, and it is impossible for the rescuers to place the purpose of sacrificing soldiers here.Also, even the Japanese soldiers who died at that time were buried uniformly.But how could there be traces of the Japanese in this place?And judging from the condition of these bones, it has been here for at least two to three years.

This place belongs to the primeval forest area of ​​Tianmu Mountain. Basically, no one can reach here except some medicine farmers and people picking mountain products.Of course, this does not include Ergou and his "pet".

Thinking of this, Scarlett couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so she walked to Wang Xianqing's tent.And Wang Xianqing seemed to have known that Scarlett would come to find him, so he stayed alone in the tent and did not go out.

"Are there still many things you haven't told me?" Scarlett cut to the chase.

Wang Xianqing smiled, shrugging his shoulders, "It's not that I didn't tell you, but I'm not sure about the situation here."

Wang Xianqing took out a piece of paper, "Almost all the people who knew about this matter are dead, including Japanese and Chinese, especially Zhou Chaojian and Lin Xiaojun, they are the two most critical people in the whole matter, but now, They have all turned into dry bones in the grave."

"What's the matter with those Japanese?" Scarlett then asked.

Wang Xianqing's face suddenly showed excitement, "Can you confirm that those bones are Japanese?"

Scarlett nodded silently, her eyes fixed on Wang Xianqing.

Wang Xianqing smiled awkwardly, "That's right. As far as I know, the Japanese had already set their sights on this batch of gold. For this reason, I heard that the Japanese royal family wanted to get involved. When Zhou Chaojian led his troops into the mountain, It may have been targeted by the Japanese, and the reason why they avoided the main road was to avoid the bombing of the aircraft on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was probably to get rid of the pursuers behind them."

"What happened during this period, I believe that even if I don't tell you, you can probably guess. The two sides fought fiercely in Tianmu Mountain, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the gold still failed to get out of this mountain. Otherwise, the Japanese would not I will find Lin Xiaojun again."

Wang Xianqing's face gradually became serious, "The person who appeared last night may be the only person now, or he may be the only remaining insider who knows the whole story and the whereabouts of the gold."

"How could it be him?" Scarlett exclaimed.

Wang Xianqing smiled complacently, "I won't say much about the specific reasons, anyway, this person is the last person to come into contact with Lin Xiaojun, and he has an extraordinary relationship with him, so the reason why he has been staying in this mountain must be because of his intentions." It means that as long as he is caught, our affairs will definitely be successful."

Wang Xianqing had a look of extreme excitement on his face, and his entire cheeks turned red with excitement.

"It's easy to say, it's not that you haven't seen his ability, and he killed three people before reaching the sky!" Scarlett looked at Wang Xianqing, and suddenly felt extreme disgust in her heart.

"Tomorrow will be the sky, get ready!" Scarlett didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so she stood up and walked out of the tent.

The cool and fresh air brought by the breeze washed away Scarlett's depression.She returned to the tent, loaded her rifle, and strode south.

Along the way, when she encountered two groups of guard posts arranged by herself, Scarlett just said something vaguely, and didn't even stop her footsteps.

At the foot of the mountain, a piece of grass swayed with the wind, and the moonlight tonight was extremely bright.

With its back against the mountain wall and the gurgling stream not far away, it is indeed an excellent place with charming scenery, but just beside the stream, there are more than 20 neatly arranged tombs. The tombstone added a little chill to this quiet environment.

Scarlett checked carefully, and there were 25 in total.Although the tomb was located in a barren mountain, it was cleaned very neatly, even the weeds were removed. In front of each tomb was a bunch of dried wild flowers, an incense burner and a coarse porcelain wine bowl.

It seems that people often come here to clean and worship.

Scarlett looked around, put the rifle on her back, stood up straight, and slowly raised her right hand towards the grave.

Because she knew that all the real soldiers of this ancient country were buried here.
