Indiana Jones

Chapter 60: Machine Nest Demon Soul (06)

The envelope contained only a set of soldier tags and a piece of scrawled paper. The name on the soldier tag was Sitaff Roger Allen, a pilot of the Tenth Air Wing. The letter was addressed to his girlfriend, to be exact. It should be that the two have not formally established a relationship, and they are considered very good friends of the opposite sex, and Sitiff hopes to take their relationship further, but they have not been approved. The girl's name is Lucy, and the whole letter is full of His longing for and love for this girl was also filled with deep despair. When the plane crashed, he was seriously injured. He knew that he could not hold on for long, so he wrote this letter under extremely unwilling circumstances. , although he knew very well that this letter might never reach Lucy, but he still hoped that God would bless her and let Lucy know his love for her.

Sitaf was an orphan who grew up with adoptive parents, and Lucy was his middle school classmate. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts. When Sitaf left the army, Lucy said that she would wait for him to go back and asked him to go back alive.This was a great encouragement to him. In the army, he was hard-working, motivated, enthusiastic, and friendly. He was a popular young man and soon became the best pilot in the new batch. Routine flight from India to China turned into a trip to hell, first the plane got lost, then it went into a fog zone, all the instruments failed, and finally crashed in this jungle with everyone on board After being thrown out, he dragged his injured body off the plane to ask for help, but found that no matter how he walked, he couldn't get out of here. Finally, after exhausting his energy, he had to return to the plane again, relying on the rations on the plane to support them for a day, but Under the torment of pain, his life was worse than death. He knew that his time was short, so he began to prepare for his "funeral affairs". Before that, he wrote this letter, but the letter was not finished...

"It should have encountered some accident, so it stopped suddenly." Rhodes said looking at the content of the letter and the handwriting that stopped suddenly.

"Then why did he just stuff the letter into the gap? Isn't he afraid that he will never be discovered?" Liang Rong didn't understand.

"Perhaps in order to protect this letter..." Rhodes didn't know why he remembered the tiny tooth marks on the bones.

"For this letter, he even put all the soldier cards here." Si Xuanyi said to Rhodes after learning the whole story, "This has to be handed over to you, only you can help him realize his wish."

"Since I have met you, I must do you a favor. I promise to give this letter to Lucy." Rhodes said firmly and then said to the air, "Sitaf, I swear, I will finish it." your wish."

When the matter was clarified, everyone was naturally relieved. Since Sitaf's ghost had no ill intentions towards them, there was no need to continue to worry about it. It was time to sleep and do what it was supposed to do.

However, both Rhodes and Si Xuanyi made other preparations, that is, they also placed a sentry in the cabin to watch the fire and ensure the brightness in the cabin. I don't know if it was because someone kept vigil or Sitiff heard Rhode's assurance. Nothing happened in the second half of the night, and everything was peaceful.

It was still raining the next day, so it seemed that this posture was impossible to go, so it would be better to continue to rest here, recover the physical strength and experience consumed these days, and recuperate the injury. Anyway, Rhodes and Si Xuanyi have not yet settled on the issue of whereabouts. can reach an agreement.

In fact, the rain is not heavy, it is moderate rain, but it is endless. Fortunately, they have such a cabin to accommodate them, otherwise they would have to squat on the tree and wait for the rain to stop. They used this time to hold a meeting and re-analyze it. According to the situation in front of them, their approximate location was reconfirmed according to the map. This area is actually a long and narrow area with a depth of more than [-] kilometers. It is near the No. [-] River in the southeast of Savage Mountain. No. [-] River is also an unnamed river. The numbers used to differentiate on the map.

"We still have about 150 kilometers to go through the no-man's land to the border settlement area, which is about 12 kilometers away from the allied occupation area. Counting the detour around the Japanese occupation area and returning to the allied occupation area, it is almost the same as going to the border settlement area, and It is even more dangerous, so I suggest crossing the No. [-] area of ​​Yeren Mountain, Xiling, Luoque Valley, and Lancang River to head towards the gathering places of border residents, at least to avoid the Japanese." Si Xuanyi confessed his thoughts and plans, and in his opinion this is The most reasonable arrangement at present.

"No, crossing Savage Mountain is too dangerous. We have suffered so much when we first came in. What is the difference between going in and dying? I would rather die in a battle with the Japanese army than die in the woods for no reason. Rhodes shook his head vigorously, "The battlefield is the best destination for a soldier, and I will not go to your territory."

"With our ability, how can we fight against the devils behind? We only have eight people, any one of them can wipe us out, and going back to die is the most stupid act." Si Xuanyi said tit for tat.

"No, we are going to save our own souls that have deviated from soldiers. As soldiers, we should fight against the ***, and we must win this war and contribute our strength." Rhodes said loudly, "You can Give up your honor, I can't, I know why you insist on going to the place where the border residents gather, that is your mother country, you want to be a deserter."

What Rhodes said made Si Xuanyi feel ashamed. Even Liang Rong, the translator, felt that it was too blunt and mean, but she still performed her duties seriously. Si Xuanyi didn't expect Rhodes to be so direct, without losing face at all. I didn't leave it to myself, and was speechless for a while.

"We just don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices." Li Siming said, "There are many ways to die. Although death in battle is glorious, it depends on whether it is worth it. We are not that stupid." His eloquent retort made Rhodes choke enough. It was clearly saying that Rhode's decision was too thoughtless and completely reckless.

"We all understand what you said, but what do you think a few of us can change? Is the meaningless sacrifice really worth it? If we can return to the army, it may have a greater effect, but don't forget, how much we have on the way back The devils are waiting? How can we face the chasing and interception of so many devils when we have the strength to cope with this jungle? We just want to avoid the Japanese-controlled area, and we can return to the army by walking in the border areas." Si Xuanyi slowly To put it bluntly, his reaction was not as fast as Li Siming's, but his thinking was clear.

"Although what you said is correct, I don't agree with it." Rhodes sneered, "Well, since you think so, there is no need for us to go on together, and we will go our separate ways when the rain stops..."
