Chapter 125 Encountering Insect Plague (03)

The devil's appearance was so sudden that they didn't expect it. How did these guys suddenly appear from so close to them?After crossing the elephant tomb, they always thought that the devil was still far away from them, at least an hour or two away, but now they found that it was not the case.

In fact, they left the Elephant Tomb and their progress was not fast since they left Yixiantian. Apart from physical reasons, the two different encounters today took them a lot of time. The attack of giant mosquitoes and these insects almost trapped them. They had to stay at the bonfire and think about countermeasures. It took nearly three hours just to figure out the effect of Wannian oil. In addition, they were trapped for a long time just to deal with these bugs, so the devils unconsciously They have already followed but they don't know it. If it weren't for these bugs, they might be directly overtaken by the devils.

Although they couldn't see how many devils had come under the cover of the fog, it was not hard to hear that there were quite a few devils from the gunshots, which made them very scared. How can they not be afraid if they can't escape?Soon a lot of ghosts appeared in their field of vision. In fact, it is not accurate to say that, because they were just figures swaying in the misty smoke at a little distance, and it was not really seen those ghosts.

Si Xuanyi and the others squatted on the meadow and stared in that direction for a while, not knowing what to do. Their original plan was to leave as soon as possible to avoid these devils. With the deep forest and the smog, it is easy to escape as long as they are not found. Yes, but what they didn't expect was that the speed of the devils came much faster than expected, and they didn't give them a chance to hide in the woods. They were trapped in this swamp. Running over here, they didn't have a chance to continue running into the depths of the swamp.

"What to do, what to do, what to do?" Ma Zhong was completely panicked, if he hadn't been in the swamp, he would have turned around and ran away.

"It's too late to go." Li Siming said.

"Just fight if you can't." Si Xuanyi said harshly.

"Go down." Rhode pushed Ma Zhong off the meadow.

"I..." Ma Zhong was not prepared at all, and took a mouthful of mud soup.

Several people went down into the swamp one after another. The muddy water was very deep. Rhodes could barely expose his mouth and nose while standing in it, and the others were embarrassed. Except for Rhodes, Li Siming was the tallest, but he could barely expose his eyes. , stand on tiptoe to see the outside situation, Ma Zhong only hair can be exposed outside, Liang Rong is completely gone, in the mud is no better than in the water, it is difficult to float, the two of them can't show their heads no matter how hard they are, if they don't Rhodes dragged it and estimated that they would be choked to death soon. Rhodes pulled out a few straw sticks and distributed them to others. This thing effectively helped them keep breathing.

Ma Zhong coughed violently, and Rhodes blocked his mouth: "If you don't want to die, keep quiet."

Ma Zhong couldn't understand what Rhodes was saying, but he wasn't an idiot, so he quickly understood Rhodes' intentions, so he covered his mouth and suppressed the rising cough, which was not easy , but he knew that it was a matter of life and death, and he had to be quiet if he wanted to survive.

After going down into the mud, they quickly realized that the big meadow grew on a big rock, no wonder they didn't sink in it, Rhodes told them to grab the grass roots and put their heads under the grass on the edge of the meadow to hide stand up.

There was something in the mud that kept bumping into them, which was similar to meeting fish schools in the water, except that they all believed that there could be no fish schools in this kind of swamp full of smelly sludge It exists, so they can't figure out what it is, but they all pray that it is not a threat, and now there is nothing they can do except ask God to bless them.

The time was too short, and before they could hide a large group of devils, they rushed over. These devils were being besieged by those bugs, but the devils were not in a mess. The strafing is quite lethal to those bugs, and with the combination of the Type [-] rifles and the Type [-] and Type [-] rifles, those bugs really don't take much advantage, but these devils didn't use fire, let alone Years of oil, so the attack of the bugs is a bit reckless, swarming in groups, although a large number of bugs were killed, but there are still more who are not afraid of life and death.

The devils retreated to this side alternately, their attention was all on the bugs, and they didn't notice that there was a muddy thing slowly disappearing under the grass next to the meadow in the swamp a little farther away. That was Rod's head.

Through the gaps in the grass, they could clearly see the ghosts rushing towards them. Some even fell into the mud because they didn't notice the edge of the swamp. They were less than ten meters away from them, which was too close. Liang Rong slowly put her hand into her bosom to hold the US-made grenade, her thumb was inserted into the safety ring, she was ready to die, as a woman he knew what it meant to be in the hands of devils.

Although the firepower of the devils was powerful, the losses were much greater than Si Xuanyi and the others expected. Among the more than twenty devils, there were seven or eight wounded soldiers. It is unknown whether they were stabbed by these insects, and some of them were still wounded. Keep fighting, and now they finally understand that Wannian oil and their torch offensive are still very effective in dealing with these bugs. This is fully reflected in the fact that the devils have such dense firepower but there are so many wounded. Who I know how many people these devils have lost since they were attacked by insects.

The devils retreated to the edge of the swamp and stopped. There were always some devils who continued to shoot at the insects with their muzzles. Soon the ground was covered with a layer of insect corpses. Several devils lit some fuel to start the fire. It didn't take long before a wall of fire was burned between the devils and the bugs, and the devils were able to breathe. A large group of bugs ran around on the other side of the wall of fire, but they didn't dare to get close. Some smart bugs climbed up the tree and crossed the wall of fire from the canopy. Continue to rush this way, but the number is pitifully small, and they are no longer a threat to the devils.

Among the chaotic crowd, Si Xuanyi and the others were surprised to see Agui covered in blood. No one thought that he was still alive, let alone that he fell into the hands of the devils. Si Xuanyi and the others really didn't know how to describe it In my own mood, I don't know whether to be happy that he is alive or worry about his situation?It should be said that there are both.

Agui's face is ugly, a wound on the corner of his forehead is half a palm long, half of it has solidified, and the other half is still bleeding. Agui can't walk fast, and he is dragged forward by two devils. Being kicked and beaten, he seemed to be worse than a beast in front of these devils.

Masao Kawaguchi, who came out of the crowd, was very calm, completely different from those ghost soldiers. He calmly put away the knife that had killed countless bugs and jumped onto a meadow by the swamp, and then moved twice. When they arrived at the area where Si Xuanyi and the others were hiding, Miyamoto, who was carrying a sniper rifle, followed behind him. The two stood on the meadow without saying a word, watching the remaining devils clean up the bugs that had crossed the firewall.

"Count the number of people." Kawaguchi ordered in a low voice.

"Three failed to keep up, six wounded, four newly added minor injuries, two seriously injured are still in a coma, in poor condition, and the others are fine." Someone reported to him immediately.

"Retreat to the swamp, avoid those bugs first." Kawaguchi looked at the dark clouds over the swamp, "take a short rest, deal with the wounded as soon as possible, check the ammunition, and must leave as soon as possible."

"They may be in this area, but it's a pity that the traces disappeared after reaching the swamp." Miyamoto pointed to the ashes not far away and said, "It must be those Chinese people. Although we lost clues after being attacked by insects, now It seems that we are heading in the right direction, and those people may have similar experiences to us, and they may have gone into the swamp."

"Entering the swamp? It's unlikely, it's too dangerous, they wouldn't be that stupid, I don't think they went in." Kawaguchi shook his head and looked to the other side, "Maybe walking along the edge of the swamp, just avoid these bugs That’s enough, there’s no need to seek your own death.”

"If it weren't for these damn bugs, we would have caught up with those people." Miyamoto said.

"They can't escape." Kawaguchi said calmly.

Just as he was talking, someone reported that the four soldiers who had just been injured in the battle suddenly started to convulse. In fact, they saw it without reporting it. On a meadow not far away, several wounded soldiers were writhing non-stop, with expressions on their faces. Extremely ugly, some devils tried to hold them down, but they all failed.

"Symptoms of poisoning." Miyamoto said.

"We lack the necessary antidote." Kawaguchi already understood what was going to happen, but he just looked at the wounded soldiers, and the others were helpless. Sure enough, the wounded soldiers bled to death not long after, their faces turned purple. It is black, with a ferocious and terrifying expression, obviously poisonous and violent.

"We need more people before we find those people," Miyamoto said.

"There are enough people. What I need is medicine and ammunition. Today's ammunition consumption is huge, and it is expected to need to be replenished within two days. This jungle is too dangerous to survive without ammunition." Kawaguchi said looking into the depths of the swamp.

"The captured Chinese man knows how to use the herbs here, and how to find those people faster, but he doesn't cooperate and brings trouble. I think he should be killed." Miyamoto said viciously.

"He's still useful." Kawaguchi said unhurriedly, "Keep it for now; get ready to go."

At this moment, Agui, who was under guard, suddenly bumped away from the devil next to him and plunged into the swamp. Suddenly, the devil next to him didn't react at all and fell straight down.

"Bastard, catch him back." Miyamoto yelled over there, without his shouting, several devils jumped into the swamp and rushed towards Agui.

Agui's hands were trapped behind his back, and it was impossible to escape. In fact, he jumped into the swamp only to die, not to escape. He can't last long in this forest. It's better to die. He's already desperate. It's a good relief for him that he doesn't have to be tortured by these devils anymore.

Agui with his hands tied fell into the swamp and sank straight down. This was an uncontrollable sinking. The ghost behind rushed up and grabbed his clothes and pulled him up. He didn't have the strength to break free, but he Still struggling with kicking and bumping, the devil's nose bone was broken by him in the chaos, but in the end he was dragged onto the meadow, Agui and the devils were covered with leeches, densely packed with leeches. There were dozens of leeches, and Agui's clothes had been torn long ago, so he had the most leeches on his body, and the dense leeches made people feel sick.

What awaited Ah Gui was a severe beating. Seven or eight devils surrounded him and kicked and kicked him, and dense gun butts hit him on the head and back.

Si Xuanyi and the others saw all this clearly. The atrocities so close at hand made them angry, but there was nothing they could do. It was impossible for them to rescue Agui from the hands of these devils. Hearing clearly, the two devil officers mentioned too much valuable information, and these contents were of great help to Si Xuanyi and the others, but due to the language barrier, they could not understand them at all. The opportunity of the devil's action plan was wasted in vain.

Agui was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding. He kept rolling on the narrow meadow. The bouts of dizziness made him almost faint. There were bouts of piercing pain in his stomach, and the pain in his chest made him gasp like he had been stabbed. He couldn't hold his breath, he knew that he was going to die soon, the broken ribs before had probably been injured by the beating, and he had personally seen a veteran's ribs broken by a blown stone on the battlefield. I thought the injury was not serious, and the medical soldiers didn't check what was going on without trauma. After all, there were many people with more serious injuries than him on the battlefield, so they didn't pay attention to it. It broke after strenuous exercise. His ribs shifted and came out of his back abruptly. Before the accident, the veteran kept saying that a knife kept poking him inside, but now Agui finally felt that feeling.

"Stop." Kawaguchi shouted unhurriedly, he didn't want Agui to be beaten to death like this, this person is still useful.

The devils stopped immediately, and Agui's head was drooping at the edge of the meadow, and blood flowed from his nose and mouth and fell into the mud of the swamp. His eyes were blurred, as if he would leave this world at any moment , Li Siming was under the weeds less than one meter away from him. Although he was close at hand, he couldn't do anything. He could only watch his eyes gradually lose their spirit. Li Siming seemed to have a big block in his heart. Stone, he was angry, he wanted to growl, but reason told him, what if he suddenly jumped up and killed a few devils now?Ah Gui is already dead, they can't save him, they will hurt themselves instead, they don't want to die in the hands of other devils, they didn't flee until today to come to this place for pleasure.

Suddenly Agui's eyes moved and turned to Li Siming's side, followed by his eyes gradually clearing up, he was slowly regaining consciousness, Li Siming's heart trembled, Agui saw himself, but he didn't know if he could recognize him Showing only a small half of his face and muddy face.

Agui's eyes turned slowly, and soon he saw Rhode's blue eyes, Liang Rong's muddy hair... He finally recognized who these people were, and there were a few more in his eyes With a good look, even a little excited, he watched Li Siming open his mouth and finally didn't say anything.

Li Siming suddenly became frightened. He was afraid that Agui would call out his name, and he was afraid that Agui would call the Japanese. If that was the case, they might all die here.

The others were also very nervous. In their previous contacts, they didn't know Agui, the son of a border dweller. He has a pure temperament, is honest and honest, timid and a bit cowardly. He is a qualified hunter and herbalist doctor. Follower, but embarrassing and useful, suitable for doing some things within one's ability, or more suitable for doing some things according to specific requirements, don't let him do some things that need to use his brain or require him to make decisions, he will waver, he will be at a loss, Now they don't know that Agui has not betrayed them after being captured by the Japanese. It is only because he has no experience in dealing with these devils that he leaked some secrets that he didn't want to say, but this was not out of his original intention.

So Si Xuanyi and the others' worries were understandable. It could only be said that they didn't know Agui well enough and didn't trust him enough.

Li Siming had already pinched a grenade in his hand and was ready to die with these devils at any time. Except for Ma Zhong who had already started to tremble, the others had similar plans as him.

Agui stared at them blankly, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye and fell into the mud. The people who had lived and died together were right across from each other, but now the state of each other was very different. He was beaten to death by devils. Although the others were forced to hide in the swamp, at least they still have the freedom that they will never have in this life. This is the difference in life, they no longer belong to the same world.

Agui's eyes darkened, and a mouthful of blood spewed out, followed by another mouthful. The blood quickly mixed with the dark mud and disappeared. After spitting out a few mouthfuls, he coughed a few times, took a deep breath and looked at Li Siming He shook his head lightly, and then said in an almost imperceptible voice: "I won't say."

Li Siming looked at him and couldn't say a word. He couldn't say anything and didn't know what to say. Judging from Agui's state, he couldn't live long, and his internal injuries were very serious.

Kawaguchi had already issued the order to set off, and Agui was pulled up. At this moment, Agui suddenly shouted: "I want to drink water."

The only one who could understand Miyamoto ignored him, he already regarded this captive as a dead person, if it wasn't for Kawaguchi, he would have slaughtered this person long ago.

"I'm willing to cooperate. I can say anything you want to know, but I have one condition..." Agui said again, which caught Miyamoto's attention and scared Si Xuanyi and the others to death...
