Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 14 Level [-] Alert

Only then did I realize what I had just done, I pointed a gun at my own people!
This is a big taboo in the army. No matter what the situation is, you should never point your gun at your comrades. This is also the first lesson that Company Commander Chen taught me after I joined the army...

I put down the gun dejectedly, squatted on the ground and cried with my head in my arms.

I don't know how much of this crying is because of the death of the baby, and how much is because of the fear in my heart. In short, my chest is tight and panic, and I am unhappy if I don't cry.

After I vented my anger, I got up and wiped my face vigorously, and said fiercely: "I don't believe that this ghost thing can appear out of thin air, so I must find it out!"

The others didn't object. Milkman's death had a great impact on us. We couldn't bear to look at his immature face. In the end, it was Hawkeye and the poisonous snake who buried him on the spot.

"Old Yan, you are well-informed, do you have any ideas?" Company Commander Chen took a few deep puffs of his cigarette.

Lao Yan glanced at the blood all over the ground, and asked us to remove the tent at night, and then circled a place with three fires, and we all stood in the circled space.

"No matter what it is, it will definitely be afraid of fire, so let's make do with it tonight." Lao Yan sat down and scratched his hair irritably, obviously the current situation made him uncertain.

I saw that Lao Yan wanted to avoid this place as soon as possible, and I felt a little unhappy, so I opened my mouth and said, "We've been walking for so long, and that thing still keeps up, Lao Yan, do you think we can avoid it?"

As soon as Milkman died, countless thoughts turned in my mind. Not only did this ghost come and go without a trace, it also had a certain IQ. Otherwise, there would still be me and the poisonous snake in the tent, so why did the baby boy die?

Hearing what I said, everyone's expressions changed. Hawkeye glanced at the others, and said in a muffled voice that he didn't know who would be the next target.

"If we don't find out this thing, we don't want to be safe, Lao Yan, what do you think?" I stared at him. After all, he is the commander of this operation. If he doesn't support it, it will be difficult for us to start.

Lao Yan asked me with a wry smile, did he think he didn't want to avenge Naiwa?
I didn't answer, but my attitude was noncommittal.He sighed and said that it wasn't that he didn't want to take revenge, but we couldn't even see that thing, we would only die if we stayed any longer, and we could only have a chance if we kept walking, that thing would never follow us forever.

"That's not necessarily true." I said disapprovingly: "That thing has been with us for so long, and there is a great possibility that it will follow us later. Besides, it's not impossible to deal with it."

He waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "What do you think, let's hear it."

"Find it first!" I rubbed my chin: "No matter how powerful this ghost is, it must be a creature in the desert like the red-tailed scorpion. As long as you find it, you can destroy it."

Lao Yan raised his eyes, beckoning me to continue talking, I pondered for a while and told him that I had a way to draw that thing out.

"What method?" Lao Yan asked.

I pointed to the place where Milkman was buried, and said that as long as the ghost thought Milkman wasn't dead, he'd definitely come back.

Of course, digging up Milkman's body and carrying it on his back is naturally unrealistic. My idea is that I put on Milkman's clothes and make that ghost think I am him.

Generally speaking, living things are identified by smell, and I did this as a gamble.

"No!" Company Commander Chen yelled with a dark face, "You can get me if you want, I'll do it!"

He objected, as I expected, he has expressed regret for dragging me into this mission many times, because he swore on my father's coffin at the beginning, let me live well, at least not let me live accident.He felt that it was a mistake to let me participate in such a dangerous task. Now that I want to attract that ghost, he will naturally object.

"Uncle Chen, only I can do this. I'm about the same size as Naiwa, and I was nearby when that ghost thing attacked Naiwa, so..." I said persistently, "Even if I don't do it, say Maybe the target next time will be me."

Company Commander Chen still had a dark face, but he couldn't say anything to refute. Instead of guessing the target of that thing and making everyone panic, it's better for us to hold the initiative in our hands!
Lao Yan felt that my idea was feasible, so I took off the clothes on my body and changed into the military uniform that the baby was wearing when he died. I tied two iron plates on my legs and jumped out of the fire.

Everyone was holding Type 56 submachine guns, staring at my surroundings as if facing an enemy, hoping that something would come out, and fearing that something might happen to me.

It would be a lie to say that I was not afraid, but the anger in my heart overcame my anxiety when I thought of Naiwa's death, and I held the iron rod and stared at my feet.

I didn't use a gun, the damn thing obviously came up from the underground, and I couldn't use a gun at this distance.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and there was still no movement, but I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. I stared at the sand on the ground with wide eyes, and if there was any movement, I would suffocate with an iron rod.

But after shaking the stick four or five times in a row, there was no movement. I shook my head, maybe it won't come.

click...

At this moment, a clear voice came, and I only felt a pain in my leg, so I threw the iron rod down the side of my leg in an instant.

"squeak!"

There was a sharp cry, similar to that of a mouse.

As soon as I saw that I had succeeded, I threw down a few Sap sticks one after another, but except for the unexpected attack at the beginning, which was useful, the rest were all in the air.

Others fired a few shots in my direction, too, but they were less likely to hit the damn thing because they were concerned about me.

"Chang'an, how are you?" Company Commander Chen and the others wanted to come out of the fire to check the situation, but I stopped them. The ghost thing might still be nearby, and it was too dangerous for them to come out.

"It's okay, I just got a little injury, please be careful." I stood there and waited for a while, the pain in my left leg was unbearable, so I made a gesture to withdraw.

While being vigilant, I moved with difficulty and stepped into the circle surrounded by the fire. Company Commander Chen immediately helped me to sit down.

I tore off the iron plates on both legs, only to see a hole the size of a fist was bitten out on the iron plate on the left, and there was also a deep bone wound on the calf, which was bubbling blood. If it was deeper, I would I'm afraid the leg is useless...
