Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 16 It's here!
"Hawkeye!" Company Commander Chen yelled. In fact, he didn't need to yell. Hawkeye had already fired a bunch of bullets, and the iron rod in front of him hit the sand in a second and broke in the middle.

Lao Yan quickly inserted half of the iron rod back in again, and then threw another iron plate over.

"There is no movement..."

Lao Yan listened with his ears sideways, and before he finished speaking, I heard a click, which came from below.

I swept the gun against the sand with the muzzle down, a row of holes flashed by, and there was a scream of 'squeak'.

"Did you hit it?" Hawkeye turned his head and glanced at me. I shook my head uncertainly, saying that the sound didn't sound like I was hit by a bullet, not to mention the short distance, what if I really hit it? There must be a little blood coming out, and I guess it was wiped.

Lao Yan said casually that it would be fine to wipe it, at least it would make the sandworms calm for a while.

"No, this method won't last long." Company Commander Chen turned over the broken iron plate, then shook his head.

Lao Yan exhaled, saying that there is no other way now, and if he leaves, he will be hunted down all the way.

"Lao Yan, give me a look at that book." I reached out my hand to Lao Yan. I just glanced at it before, but I didn't pay much attention to it, maybe there is any information in the book.

Lao Yan took out the diary from his bag and threw it to me: "I read it, there are too few records."

I directly turned to the page of the sandworm, and sure enough, there was only a short introduction about this thing, roughly speaking about its appearance, and its habit of attacking people, but I noticed one thing, that is, there was never water where this thing appeared!
"Take out all the water!" I had an idea, the sandworm is one with the sand, so it will definitely leave marks when it passes by water.

Although it all emerges suddenly from the bottom of the sand, the movement of the solidified sand being lifted up suddenly is greater than that of the dry sand.

I gathered all the water together, reserved about two days' drinking water for everyone, and then poured the remaining water on the soles of the feet and outside the circle.Seeing the sand condense together, I told everyone to keep an eye on it, and if there was any movement in the sand, they would shoot me desperately with bullets.

Lao Yan glanced at me, nodded approvingly, and then, like everyone else, stared at the sand in front of him.

Sure enough, after the sand condensed, the sandworm took a few shots but was hit back by bullets. With the sound of creaking, a stream of blood came out.

"died?"

Hawkeye excitedly dug along the bloodstain, but found nothing. He muttered that this thing is too good at hiding, but it was only injured.

"careful!"

As soon as I pushed Hawkeye away, he was bitten on his calf before he could react. Fortunately, I pushed him away quickly, and Lao Yan made another shot in the back, which only caused him a superficial injury.

"You don't want to die? Digging the sand at this time, the movement of the sandworm is covered by you."

Lao Yan yelled, and Hawkeye remained silent. He put a bandage on his calf and continued to stare at the sand with vigor.

But the temperature in the desert is too high. Seeing that the water will be evaporated in less than half an hour, Hawkeye anxiously asked me if I want to sprinkle some more water.

"No, we'll have no water to drink if we spill it again." I shook my head.

Lao Yan suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said that it is good that I can last until now, and I will leave it to him.

I looked at him inexplicably and asked him if there was a way?

"Not sure if it will work, try it."

Lao Yan sighed, then took out an iron rod, wrapped Nanny's clothes around it, and wiped some blood from Hawkeye's wound, let us shoot all the way to protect him out of the circle, and stuck the iron rod in the About half a meter away from us.

"Hawkeye, keep an eye on it, and the rest of you will continue to guard the circle." Lao Yan returned to the circle and ordered with a solemn expression.

Hawkeye nodded, half-squatting on the ground in an aiming posture, and the rest of the people also took their positions.

There was no movement for an entire hour...

"Is it afraid of being beaten?" Company Commander Chen wiped his face: "It's getting dark soon, we can rest after a while..."

Bang bang bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Hawkeye moved, and the shuttle shot was quickly finished. I saw a line of blood appearing on the place where the baby's clothes were hanging, and hurriedly called everyone to follow the line of blood.

"Squeak..."

When the cry of pain came, I was overjoyed: I don't believe it, I can't kill you this time!

"Boost!"

Lao Yan yelled, and saw him look up at the sky, with a grim expression on his face, and said that the sandworm should be dealt with as soon as possible, there may be a sandstorm at any time, if it cannot be dealt with by then, it will really be waiting for death.

I glanced at the sky, and then took a breath of air. Indeed, the air is a little cold now, and the air pressure is not high. Although the wind has not blown yet, it must not be far away. Looking at the situation, I am afraid that the sandstorm will come before it gets dark. .

A group of people moved faster and fired in the direction of the blood line. After chasing for more than ten meters, the blood line suddenly disappeared.

Hawkeye frowned and asked if he was dead?
I shook my head: "It's not right, if you die, you won't have such a little blood, you must have escaped."

"Oh shit."

Hawkeye cursed, and the expressions of the others were not very good.

"Hawkeye, put on your night vision goggles!"

Lao Yan raised his hand, and seeing Hawkeye looking at him suspiciously, he quickly explained that although the temperature of the sand is also high now, the temperature of the sandworm will always be higher than that of the sand, so the accuracy rate may not be high, but there is too little time now Yes, that's the only way to do it.

Then he asked Company Commander Chen and the poisonous snake to cooperate with Hawkeye's instructions to shoot, fearing that Hawkeye would be too late alone.

"And me?"

Seeing that they are all assigned tasks, I am a little anxious.

Lao Yan glanced at me and smiled strangely. Before I could react, he lowered his body and tore off the gauze tied around my leg, and pressed my wound with his hands.

"hiss!"

I gasped, seeing the wound that had finally stopped bleeding and bleeding out again, I wished I could press Lao Yan on the ground and beat him up.

"Don't look at me like that, the sandworm can catch up to us, not only because it can distinguish the scent of the prey, but more importantly, the smell of blood." Old Chimney said, and then he no longer cared about me, let Hawkeye On the one hand, observe and send out a signal as soon as there is movement.

Hawkeye held the night vision device in one hand, his head kept turning.

I cooperated with his movements and swept over the places he missed.

"Ten o'clock!"

Hawkeye roared, and the poisonous snake raised its hand and shot.

Snapped!
The dust flew up, and a bag of soil scattered in all directions, but there was no trace of the sandworm.

Afterwards, Hawkeye reported a few more instructions, but all failed without exception, and Company Commander Chen was so anxious that he gasped for breath.

"Looks like it's not enough." Lao Yan pouted, then looked at me, my back was numb from his strange eyes, and asked him what he wanted to do.

Lao Yan answered irrelevantly: "The wind is blowing..."

Following his words, the surrounding sand slowly rose up, and the wind was not strong, but everyone knew what this meant.

"When the sandstorm comes, all the animals will run to the leeward direction, Hawkeye, look to the east!" Lao Yan roared: "Chang'an, you boy stay out of the circle and stand in the east."

"Aren't you asking me to die?" I cursed angrily.

Yesterday was a sudden fever. Although I don't regret it, I still have lingering fears. Now that I don't have any equipment, how can I dare to take this risk?

As soon as Lao Yan pushed me out of the circle, he was more annoyed than I was: "Mo Mo Chi Chi is like a bitch, once the sandstorm comes, everyone can't even think about living!"

Then he pulled a Type 56 submachine gun and stuffed it in Hawkeye's arms, saying that he can only rely on him now.

"Sandworm's route will only be in the east, and it will pass by that kid, watch carefully!" After speaking, Lao Yan helped Hawkeye put on the night vision goggles, and stepped aside.

When I saw it, I became even more angry: I said it early if I could wear the night vision goggles. Why do I need several people to cooperate? There will definitely be a delay in firing the gun after seeing the sandworm issue an order.

"What are you mumbling about, you're dying?" Lao Yan glared at me, and then everyone fell silent.

I stared at Hawkeye nervously, firstly because I was afraid that he would shoot too slowly, and secondly because I was afraid that he would hit me, who knows if this marksmanship can be accurate while wearing night vision goggles.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and my sight was gradually obstructed. I gritted my teeth and stood where I was, always feeling that sandworms were dangling around my feet.

I don't know how long I stood there, but I felt that I would be unable to hold on any longer, so I muffled, "I can't have a good time..."

boom!
There was a gunshot, and the bullet hit my feet. I was so shocked that I swallowed the rest of the words, and was speechless for a long time.

"Hawkeye, can you hit it right!"

Just one centimeter off and my leg is literally ruined.

He ignored me, and stared at me with a more serious expression after firing a shot. Before I could react, another burst of shots came over, which scared me so much that I almost bit off my tongue.

"Hawkeye, continue. It seems that this thing wants to fill its stomach before running, and it will definitely come again." Old Yan was holding a cigarette with bright eyes.

Hawkeye nodded slightly, and then suddenly called out: "Sideways!"

I subconsciously turned my body sideways, and the bullet grazed my waist, and I could feel the heat of the bullet.

I shouted: "Hawkeye, do you have a grudge against me?"

He basically shot directly after shouting the command. If I slowed down by a second, my waist would be pierced at this moment.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you run away?" I don't know how long I was in a daze, Company Commander Chen and the others had already packed up the package, and as soon as Hawkeye set me up, I ran to the east.

So they hit it?
While being dragged away by Hawkeye, I turned my head and glanced curiously, and saw a worm as thick as a bucket lying on the spot where I was standing just now, with a round head and densely packed teeth still wriggling in the blood-red mouth.

And Lao Yan, who ran at the end, picked up the body of Sandworm and followed.

It was only later that I found out that Lao Yan’s night vision device was still a defective product. It was captured by Lao Mei during the war, and he was allowed to bring one because of the importance of the matter this time.In a word, wearing a night vision device will cause deviation in vision. I broke out in a cold sweat and felt like I was walking around the gate of hell...

The wind was blowing, and the visibility was less than five meters. We only knew that we couldn't be caught up by the wind and sand behind us, so we ran desperately, until we couldn't tell the direction.

I could vaguely see Company Commander Chen and the three of them running ahead, while Hawkeye slowed down a lot because he kept dragging me.

I wanted him to leave me alone, but I ate a mouthful of sand when I opened my mouth, and blocked everything back, so I had no choice but to shut up and try my best not to hurt him.

In the middle of the journey, I looked back and saw the black storm wrapped in sand, smashing towards me like a giant beast. The animals that usually hid in the sand were chased and fled around.

I didn't dare to look any more, I lowered my head and rushed forward, but the sand quickly caught up, and I already felt the pain of it hitting my back!

"Quick, there is a place to hide here!"

Lao Yan roared, and Hawkeye suddenly accelerated, dragging me forward like a cloth bag.

boom……

The sand hit me, and my whole body was buried in it, and it became difficult to breathe in an instant.

Before I had time to despair, I felt a strong force pulling me out, and after a while I felt that the pressure on my body was relieved a lot.

"Spit out the sand in your mouth!"

In a daze, I didn't know who was talking, so I just subconsciously followed what he said, and at the same time I could feel someone picking my nose.

"Ahem..." After a while, I felt a burning pain in my trachea, almost coughing my heart out.

After finally regaining my breath, I found myself in an abandoned building surrounded by dilapidated walls, and other people surrounded me, apparently relieved.

"You have to thank Hawkeye very much, if he didn't forget to grab you when he arrived, you would be buried in Lop Nur now." Company Commander Chen said with a chuckle.

I glanced outside the wall, but only saw a piece of darkness, but the howling wind indicated that the dust was still raging!
Thinking of the feeling of suffocation just now, I knew what Company Commander Chen said was true, so I quickly thanked Hawkeye.

"Thank you, it's all brothers, it's done, you let the poisonous snake fix your wound, and I'll walk around." Hawkeye laughed heartily a few times, then got up and walked around in the abandoned building.

Sand got into the wound, and the poisonous snake took a lot of effort to clean it up. Finally, it was carefully wrapped in gauze and said it was infected, but it was not a big problem.

"Boy, you're so lucky!" Lao Yan suddenly smiled, and I rolled my eyes speechlessly. If it wasn't for him, my wound wouldn't be infected.

At this moment, Hawkeye suddenly shouted: "Come here quickly! I found something!"

We moved over curiously, and saw Hawkeye circling a rock, looking at the shining eyes, it seemed that he had discovered something extraordinary...
