Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 10 Humans Occupy the Scorpion's Nest
I turned pale with fright, motioned him not to move, then slowly approached him, and pulled him over.

"What's the matter with you?" Before the milk boy could stand still, Company Commander Chen scolded him, "Where is the ruthlessness of fighting in normal times? If you lose the chain at this time, you will die."

Milkman was scolded without saying a word, but I patted him on the shoulder in understanding.He is a local, and he believes in ghosts and people. Although he has not kept watch since he entered no-man's land, he can't sleep a wink at all, and he was stimulated by the death of Gaodun. .

"Hurry up!" Company Commander Chen wanted to say something else, I shook my head at him, shouted in a low voice, and then ran towards the opposite direction of the red-tailed scorpions, occasionally stopping to observe their movement traces, and then ran quickly again stand up.

About half an hour later, we came to a low slope. I turned around the low slope, grabbed a handful of sand and smelled it, and then kicked on the low slope.

The sand on the low slope fell rustlingly, and a large piece fell off in an instant, exposing the space inside.

"My God, it's actually hollow here?" Hawkeye exclaimed, "Okay, how did you find out, I haven't noticed it after being a scout for so many years."

"Let's go in first!" I didn't answer him, I was the first one to get into the low slope, and the rest followed suit.

Hawkeye stared at me and was still waiting for my answer. I told him helplessly, but I had expected that there would be a nest of red-tailed scorpions here, otherwise I would not have found it.

"What place do you think this is?" Company Commander Chen's complexion changed instantly, he pulled my collar and whispered in my ear: "You guys are unreliable, you managed to escape, and you actually took us Have you come to that thing's lair?"

The faces of the others also changed. I spread my hands helplessly and explained, judging by the size of the red-tailed scorpions, I knew that they were out in force. They ran away in the dark at night, and even if they were not caught up, they might run into a few of them. For those who are alone, only the nest is the safest.

Others looked at me a little strangely, both grateful and fearful. In the end, Milkman grabbed my sleeve and asked me how I was sure that the red-tailed scorpion would not return halfway?
I shrugged and said that I was only two points sure. If they didn't believe me, there was nothing I could do. After all, this was the solution I came up with in a panic. Naturally, there could be no loopholes. Get out and be safe.

The others had nothing to say, but the poisonous snake helped me, saying that the red-tailed scorpions are dispatched in the middle of the night and will return to their nests just before the sun rises. We will indeed be safer here.

With his guarantee, everyone was relieved, but they didn't dare to relax too much, but leaned on the low slope that hadn't collapsed to rest.

"I'll go out and have a look." Lao Yan frowned, said suddenly, and walked out without putting down his backpack, and before going out, he even gave me a sneaky look.

From the time we were surrounded by red-tailed scorpions to the time we entered the lair, he didn't say anything except to remind us not to waste bullets, and he didn't question me for replacing his commanding position throughout the whole process.

Now this makes me whisper in my heart, isn't he blaming me?
So after he went out for a while, I also found a convenient excuse to follow him out. The strange thing was that Lao Yan was not outside, and I didn't see anyone else after a glance.

The desert is empty, even at night I can see about ten meters with my eyesight, which means that Lao Yan has traveled so far?

As soon as I had such doubts, I saw a figure emerging from the darkness in the distance. He hung his head and held something in his hand.After walking for a while, he looked up and saw that I seemed to be startled. He quickly stuffed the things in his hand into the waterproof bag, and asked me how I got out.

Even though he was very fast, I knew it was a phone, and I had only seen it at Company Commander Chen, so I remembered it very deeply because I was curious.

It's just that there is no signal in the desert at all, and it needs the cooperation of the mobile signal station and the main station to make calls. Therefore, Company Commander Chen didn't bring it at all at the time.

Who is Lao Yan contacting? Is it above?
I was a little curious, but I also knew that he would not explain this to me, so I just scratched my head and said it for convenience. He didn't pursue it, but only asked me how I found the red-tailed scorpion's lair.

"Their traces of movement are obvious, and there is a smell in the sand." I replied, and I paid attention when the red-tailed scorpion appeared. Although the smell is very weak, such a large-scale appearance is still unstoppable .

Lao Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He just told me to take a rest quickly, and said that he went in by himself, and he seemed to have encountered some difficulties.

Sure enough, as soon as I went in, I saw that he was already smoking a cigarette. Through this period of getting along, I found that he likes to smoke when he thinks about problems the most. Looking at the number of cigarette butts, I can tell that the problems he encounters are not troublesome. .

Now he twitched his brows twice in a row but still locked them tightly. It seems that he has encountered a problem!

But now no one has the heart to pay attention to him, all of them are frowning, with deep vigilance in their eyes.

After suffering like this for a whole night, we left the red-tailed scorpion's lair an hour before the sun rose the next day, and ran to the opposite place.

"Finally escaped..." When the first rays of sunlight rose from the horizon, Naiwa sighed, but was yelled at by Company Commander Chen as useless, and he didn't say anything, probably because he knew that his performance these days had been lost Troop faces.

But after this incident, everyone obviously looked at me with admiration, and even the taciturn poisonous snake also said that I admired me, saying that in the scene last night, I was able to come up with a wonderful trick in a short time and execute it quickly, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is definitely impossible.

I was flattered by the praise, and then I obviously put myself in a very high position, and I was a bit superior when talking to them.

Company Commander Chen persuaded me several times, but I was young and energetic and refused to listen, and even questioned Lao Yan's decision several times.Lao Yan didn't say anything, even when Company Commander Chen scolded me, he laughed and said that it was a good thing that I was young and vigorous.

"There should be a water source near here." Lao Yan held a cigarette in his mouth, and grabbed a handful of sand in his hand.

I saw that although the sand was wet but not thorough, I shook my head and said that even if there is a source of water, it is buried deep in the ground, and we cannot dig it.

Because we still lost some supplies in the process of avoiding the red-tailed scorpion, including several bottles of water, so we paid great attention to whether there was any water source nearby along the way.

Originally, when Lao Yan said that there was a source of water, everyone was happy, but when I objected, they hesitated. Lao Yan squinted his eyes and asked, "How did you come to this conclusion?"

As soon as I heard that he was going to test me, I immediately thought of showing off, bent down and grabbed a handful of sand: "Look, this sand looks wet, but it falls apart when you pinch it, what is it called? "

Everyone looked at me curiously, and I shook my head and said that this is called Lisha in Feng Shui, which means that this kind of sand seems to be gathered together by water, but in fact the water content is extremely low, indicating that there is indeed an underground river underneath, but It is buried deep in the ground, and people are afraid that they will die of thirst when they are dug.

Seeing everyone's sudden realization after listening to my words, I felt more satisfied in my heart, and gave Lao Yan a provocative look.

"That's right." Not only was Lao Yan not angry, but he nodded, "It's just that he's too young..."
