Indiana Jones

Chapter 555 Life and death are uncertain (01)

Li Siming is well aware of how fragile a person's life is in these years, and he is used to the sudden departure of people around him, but when he heard that something happened to Si Xuanyi, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart. After all, this is a matter of life and death. Brother, the two of them lived and died together and experienced too much suffering. Although they were indifferent to life and death, and knew that someone would leave first one day, but it was still difficult to accept when it really happened. For a while, Li Siming's mind was buzzing. Noisy, can't even think.

"Say it clearly..." The woodcutter was still very calm. The matter hadn't been clarified yet, so he couldn't blindly believe a very general news.

Zhou Xiaopeng said: "The news from our people said that the entire army over there was wiped out, and only two people from Lao Wang withdrew. They ran back because they were panicked, so the news came here now. The situation over there is now It’s still not clear, but those two people are sure that the little devils surrounded them and beat them up the night before, and the two of them escaped the devils’ hunting by hiding in the grass by luck.”

"That is to say, it is not certain that they have already suffered?" Hearing what he said, Li Siming also heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that those people would not be killed so easily, and Lin Feng alone was enough to make those little devils overwhelmed Yes, although what he said is a bit exaggerated, even if he can't kill those little devils, self-protection should not be a problem. Maybe they can't withdraw temporarily when they encounter some situation, but based on time calculation, this should not be possible. No, what kind of trouble did they really encounter that they couldn't handle?

But then Li Siming couldn't help being furious: "Where are those two bastards? Why didn't you report the situation as soon as possible? If you delay the battle, you will be punished."

"They're guerrillas, so it's normal to not understand these things." Zhou Xiaopeng shook his head, "But I will pursue the responsibility. The situation over there is unknown, but something must have happened, otherwise it is impossible for them not to come back."

Li Siming knew very well that according to the calculation of the distance, he would be able to meet them at most a few hours after the accident, or return directly to the county seat. Then the question is when did they encounter trouble? Afterwards, they carried out other missions. If the two guerrilla members of Old Wang who reported back to me are right, then the problem must be in Yushupo, but it’s been a long time since the incident on Yushupo. If it wasn't for some big trouble that they couldn't get out of, they must have withdrawn. In other words, something might have happened to Si Xuanyi and the others, but it's impossible for the whole army to be wiped out. At least Lin Feng should be able to get out.

"The situation is not good..." The woodcutter frowned and said to Li Siming, "We must go and see right away, at least to make sure they are still alive."

"Well..." Li Siming nodded. This makes sense. Instead of guessing here, it's better to go and see what's going on there first, and then think about what to do next, but he still doesn't believe it. People like Si Xuanyi can't come back anymore, so they have to go there to see the situation first.

So everyone rushed to Yushupo without stopping. Zhou Xiaopeng immediately transferred a car for them. If they had a car, they could rush to the scene of the incident as soon as possible. Faced with the scene, no one spoke along the way, and almost everyone remained silent in an anxious mood. The car was driving fast and very bumpy. They were eager to get there, and they were afraid that something unacceptable would happen there, so their mood Both anxious and contradictory.

After they arrived, what appeared in front of them was a huge barren meadow, and the damage of the vehicles on the road. The vehicles and the equipment on them had been completely destroyed. The little devil did not further process or recycle them, but directly dumped them It is discarded here regardless.

Although there were fallen weeds and traces of fighting everywhere, they couldn't be sure what happened here for a while, and they really had no other choice but to conduct a large-scale search.

Li Siming immediately divided his hands into three groups and moved forward along those traces. After all, the scope is too large. This is not a job that can be completed in a short time, but soon they found some corpses in the grass, including guerrillas and others. All the corpses of their own and the little devil had been taken away, so they couldn't estimate how much the little devil had suffered.

These remains have been torn apart by wild dogs, and many of them have been dragged far away. It can really be described as horrible.

"Spread out and search, and say hello if you find something..." Li Siming said to the others. In fact, he was in a conflicted mood. Even he didn't know what the so-called discovery meant.Did you find your own person, or did you find nothing in the end?In fact, he prefers the latter. Even if he can't find anything, it's [-] times better than finding a corpse. At least he can't find anything. Those people still have hope of being alive, but he also knows very well that some things are not his. He will do whatever he wants, in short, his mood is quite contradictory.

This search process took quite a long time, after all, this barren meadow is too big, even if a few of them disperse, it will not be completed overnight.

The first thing they found was Lao Wang, an old fritter who had fought guerrilla warfare with the devil for several years and finally died in the hands of the devil. The little devil was defeated in hand-to-hand combat and was finally killed.

"From the remains we've found so far, we can see that they walked quite a wide area, as if they were separated during the evacuation and were hunted down by little devils. So far, we have found more than a dozen corpses, those of the guerrillas and those of our team. They are divided into half, and some have been blown to pieces and are unrecognizable." Ye Feng said, "But so far we haven't found a few of them."

"Keep looking, search all over this place, and rule it out, I hope they don't exist." Li Siming still had hope, he hoped that Si Xuanyi and the others could not be found within this range.

As time went by, the scope of the search continued to expand. After all, they had limited manpower, and it was quite difficult to complete such a large-scale search, so they did not complete half of it until the evening, but as more bodies were found, they The mood is getting heavier and heavier, the Internet is so big, this is really the rhythm of annihilation.

"After dark, the light is too poor, and the search will become quite difficult, and we are likely to miss some details." Ye Feng said.

"Light the torches, turn on the flashlights, and line up a line of carpet searches. We can't wait until dawn to continue." Li Siming said very firmly. It is better to urgently want to know that there are no them here than to confirm whether Si Xuanyi and others are difficult. In short, this kind of complicated mood is hard to express.

After preparing the lighting tools, the search continued. Although it was dark, they were so anxious that they couldn't control themselves. Although there were not many of them, they still kept an arm's length away, advancing little by little, and clearing an area. The number of casualties was much greater than they expected. It can really be described as annihilated. At least [-]% of the troops here have been found, but nearly one-fifth of the found cannot be identified. They can only be blown to pieces. Among them, they found the bayonet used by Si Xuanyi and Zhao Chenggong's kettle.

The bayonet has been broken into two pieces, but the gap that was knocked off on the handle is still there. This is a detail that Li Siming noticed when distributing weapons. At that time, Si Xuanyi tore a piece of cloth because of the gap. The cloth was wrapped around it, and now the cloth was in tatters, and the gap was exposed.

Zhao Chenggong's kettle is riddled with holes, but he can still make out the crooked "Zhao" carved by himself on the lid.

"This can't be true..." Li Siming's hands trembled a little, he couldn't even hold the half of the bayonet.

"Sometimes we choose to face reality." The woodcutter could see how sad he was, and patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Although we don't want to see such a situation, we can't change it. Fighting Casualties are unavoidable, it is not that we can not die, everyone is equal in the face of death, at least they will die with the little devils, and they will not be aggrieved."

Li Siming stood there for a long time without responding, but soon jumped up again: "Go on...it may not be true, maybe they dropped something, so we have to find..."

"Your mood is understandable... We do have hope, and we will continue to search, but I hope you can calm down, okay?" The woodcutter knows that Li Siming is completely out of control now, and he is desperately giving himself Find a reason to convince himself that Si Xuanyi and the others are still alive. Of course, this possibility is not impossible, but it is pitiful. He is really afraid that Li Siming will completely collapse when he finally loses hope.

Everyone started to search forward, and soon they found Luo Xiaoping again, but only part of it was found, and everything from the shoulder was gone, but his face remained very intact, with only one remaining hand firmly holding onto Luo Xiaoping. A handful of bloody hair should have been pulled from the devil's head.

Until the next afternoon, they basically searched the area completely, but the result still did not have any miracles as Li Siming expected.

Ye Feng said: "There are also Liu Xiaotian and Lin Feng who have not been found, or have not found anything related to them, but the possibility that they are still alive is relatively high. Well, after all, we still have no way of confirming that they have..."

"The section chief and Chenggong are not sure... They may still be alive... No... They must still be alive." Li Siming said nervously, "Keep looking, keep looking... This place is very big, maybe they will lie down." Passed out in that place, we have to find them."

Everyone knew that this possibility was unlikely. Two days had passed since the incident. As long as people were alive, it was impossible for them to have no news at all. No matter how far away they were, it was still enough for them to pass on the news. So Si Xuanyi and the others were probably in danger. They also knew very well that Li Siming was unwilling to accept this reality, and the reason why he was tossing so hard was to avoid everything that happened in front of him.

The woodcutter has known Li Siming for not a day or two. In his eyes, he is a steady young man. He seems to have never panicked because of anything. He is also very clear about the weight of Si Xuanyi in Li Siming's heart. What kind of status, so he understands that Li Siming will behave like this, and it is really uncomfortable to watch Li Siming scurrying back and forth in the grass as a woodcutter.

"We've already looked here, let's change the direction." Ye Feng knew that it was useless to say anything in this situation, and it was impossible for Li Siming to stop, but he couldn't be allowed to continue to toss like this, but time also I couldn't think of a better way to advise him.

"Search again, everyone, to see if you find anything new." The woodcutter said to the others standing nearby, "They are all brothers of our own family. Whether they live or die, we have to bury them."

Obviously the woodcutter has already started to prepare for the aftermath. He asked Fang Yuanshan to bring a few people to start digging nearby. It is unrealistic to bring these people back, but we can't let them die in the wilderness. The best way is to bury them. .

"What should he do?" Ye Feng pointed to Li Siming and asked the woodcutter.

"Do you think you can persuade him at this time?" The woodcutter said in his tone, "Let him struggle for a while, otherwise he will definitely not give up."

"Liu Xiaotian and Lin Feng are missing, I hope they are still alive." Ye Feng said, judging from the current situation, they couldn't be sure whether the two people were still alive, but after all, they didn't find anything related to the two of them, so the two People can only be listed as missing persons, but he is also very clear that these two people have little hope of surviving.

Li Siming ran wildly back and forth on this big meadow, but found nothing in the end. After tossing for hours, he finally lost his strength. He lay there, staring at the sky in a daze. During the whole process, he didn't say a word, as if Like the walking dead.

Lin Feng walked up to him and sat down: "Some things...you have to figure it out yourself, no matter how much others persuade you, you can't persuade them."

Li Siming didn't speak, but just kept looking at the sky, without blinking his eyes.

"Look away..." Ye Feng didn't know what else to say, so he patted him and handed him a cigarette.

Li Siming didn't answer, still looking at the sky, Ye Feng could only light the cigarette and stuff it into his mouth.

After a long time, Li Siming spoke: "I don't know why, but I always feel that they are still alive."

"I can understand this feeling...you really hope they are alive." Ye Feng said, smoking a cigarette.

"No..." Li Siming got up and took a deep breath, "I'm not overly sad, I really think they're still alive, it's just..." He seemed unable to express what kind of mood he was in, and gestured tongue-tiedly For a long time, "They are probably still alive, but we haven't found them yet..."
