At first, Zhao Bankuo was actually a little worried, but after walking for a while, he found that although there was no sign of life anywhere, and the skin of some plants fell off as soon as he touched it, he didn't smell anything from the filter layer of the gas mask.

There was a strange smell, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Looking at the military doctor and other team members, although they were still on guard, they were obviously not so nervous. Lao Diao even started to tease the military doctor for making such a fuss, and the military doctor remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

The deeper we walked, the more serious the forest was withered. Some branches were broken at the touch, and the insides were black. The ground was also covered with dried leaves that had fallen and accumulated. Zhao Bankuo walked in the middle of the team, and the more he looked at it, the more he became more and more worried.

It was surprising that the vegetation was dead in such a large area. It felt like a severe drought would only occur in a few years, but the land under our feet was moist.

After marching for a few more minutes, Xiao Daozi stopped in front, followed by the "bandit" and Wang Sixiang, with a strange expression on his face. Zhao Bankuo immediately asked what was going on, and Xiao Daozi said: "

There’s a big guy ahead.”

Ruan Ling and the military doctor behind them also stopped immediately. Zhao Bankuo walked to the head of the team and found a huge metal object standing more than ten meters in front of him. From a distance, it was two or three people tall, and its shape looked very strange.

eccentric.

And it was obvious that the trees near the huge metal object were all withered, which was much worse than what he had seen before. Zhao Bankuo suddenly felt a feeling in his heart, as if some voice told him that this was the death of the entire forest.

source.

Before he could figure it out, the military doctor ran forward and asked nervously: "What's wrong? What's wrong?" When he looked up, his voice was surprised, "What is that thing?"

Zhao Bankuo didn't speak, and waved his hand to signal the team members to follow. After everyone carefully surrounded the metal object, Zhao Bankuo discovered that there were many holes in it, and there were sunken pits around it, and it felt like it was completely embedded in the soil.

.

Wang Simao came over and said: "Captain, this doesn't look like iron, why is it standing here?"

Zhao Bankuo nodded and said: "It is indeed not iron, and it is not something that originally existed in the jungle." He looked at it a few more times. This was definitely not a weapon, and it didn't seem to be harmful. All the feelings added together just made him feel uncomfortable.

People feel that it suddenly appeared here only in the past few years.

Could it be something done by the Japanese? But it doesn't seem to have any special significance.

Wanting to take a closer look, the military doctor suddenly pulled him back and said, "Don't move, be careful! It's poisonous!"

Zhao Bankuo waved his hand, saying that he would not stick to it to take a look. Lao J had already walked around the metal object and came back. His facial expression became a little strange. He put his hands in his pockets and said directly: "Zhao, let's go, it's nothing."

Beautiful."

The military doctor was surprised and interjected: "Sir J, do you see anything? Could it be a warning sign put up here by the mountain god? I don't think it looks like something from the human world."

Old J's expression changed and he said, "I don't understand what you are saying. Let's just leave quickly."

Zhao Bankuo gestured to the old fool to stop causing trouble. Although he thought Old J's reaction was a bit strange, he also felt that something was wrong. This thing gave him a very bad feeling, so he might as well leave early.

So he greeted everyone and started to move forward.

When it got completely dark, the dead forest was left behind by them. Zhao Bankuo took out the map and looked at it.

They found that the Japanese defense line was very close to them. In order to reach their destination as soon as possible, all they had to do was to avoid it as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhao Bankuo called Ruan Ling to discuss the possible defense positions of the Japanese army in this area. After hearing his concerns, Ruan Ling thought for a while and then said: "The Japanese army's defense position must have changed. Earlier,

The map given to you was planned by them before the war. I know of at least three sets of such strategic change plans. For the next road, I should be in the lead. Let's slow down the march and find them first.

The law of deployment changes.”

At this time, Zhao Bankuo could only choose to trust Ruan Ling, but in this way, he would have to hurry up on the subsequent march and sleep as little as possible, so as to reach the crash site of the German plane in five or six days.

According to Ruan Ling, the Japanese army's defense changes are regular, but this pattern is only reflected in small camps. Large camps, such as Mengguan and Waluban, cannot and will not be replaced casually.

.This gave them an opportunity to take advantage of. Coupled with the fierce offensive of the expeditionary force, when they heard the sound of gunfire in the distance, they used compasses and maps to detour.

The rest of the journey was nothing but marching, with night and day running together. There was almost no rest, only simple rest and recuperation. Ruan Ling and Xiaodaozi became the leading soldiers. Relying on her familiarity with the Japanese army, they walked in the woods.

A big circle formed.

There were not many opportunities to go far at first, but the closer they got to the north-south defense line, the more common wars became. The most common time was when they stood on a hill and took a cursory glance and found three dangerous places a few kilometers away.

There was smoke, and the sound of gunfire rang in my ears.

After going around very hard on the fourth day, Wang Sixiang's individual radio station finally received a message. After translating it, Zhao Bankuo could only smile bitterly when he saw it. What it said was almost exactly the same as what they were doing now.

Notify them to conduct a detour operation, saying that the offensive of the expeditionary force's vanguard was too fierce, and the Japanese defense line had begun to retreat and shift on a large scale, so they were ordered to rush to the predetermined location at any cost before the Japanese defense line was completely shifted, otherwise,

That area may be discovered and destroyed by rebels.

This kind of belated order made Zhao Bankuo crazy, but he was also very fortunate that the general was not going to accept the order. It seems that you still have to rely on yourself to take action. Listening to the military may not always be a good idea. Wait for them to give you

It is better to show the way than to find the way yourself.

After tearing up the order, Zhao Bankuo and his gang continued on their way. On the fifth day, the frequent gunshots finally disappeared. Looking at the map, they had actually reached the south of the Hukang River Valley. This was a long way from the war zone.

Due to the distance, the animals and plants in the woods were not disturbed too much, and there was still life. The "bandit" also said that dead things are really different from living things, and only when I got here did I feel at ease. The military doctor on the side pulled a face and said

The old man said there was something evil there, but you still didn’t believe it! Lao Diao immediately pulled him away to avoid getting into trouble with the “bandits” again.

At this time, they had to take a detour from the west to the north. After two days of walking, they should be able to see the crash site of the German plane.

Later, the march went more smoothly. Although it was not easy to travel through mountains and rivers and eat thirsty and hungry, compared to the cruelty of war, this feeling was still much better.

On the sixth day, they finally approached the depression area in the middle of the Hukang River Valley. The earliest thorn forest was destroyed by them.

They passed by and looked through the compass and map. They found that the direction they entered was somewhat deviated from the location where they first came in. Due to the terrain, the highland became very gentle and turned into a slope. This made the military doctor a while.

I lamented that if I had gone here when I first came here, maybe there wouldn’t have been so many bad luck.

In the afternoon, they saw the dandelion field. On a February day, the dandelions were still in full bloom. At first glance, they were covered with patches of bright yellow. The "bandit" and Lao Diao were shocked to death, and the "bandit" directly

He ran over and lay down on it, and said a few words in English with his eyes closed. Then Old J smiled and said he couldn't believe that the "bandit" was still so romantic.

But Zhao Bankuo never expected that dandelions would bloom in spring. Wang Sixiang seemed to have read his thoughts and shook his head gently at him and said: "In the Savage Mountain, it is not uncommon for the plants to be abnormal."

The military doctor on the other side sighed abnormally, stopped, took out a stack of yellow form papers, knelt on the ground and started burning them.

The "bandit" suddenly became interested, jumped up and approached him and asked: "Old idiot, why did you burn it again? What kind of Bodhisattva do you want to worship this time?"

The military doctor rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have a bald head and talk a lot of nonsense." The "bandit" sighed and walked to the side to look at the flowers.

The knife on the other side also took out three cigarettes, put a handful of soil on them and lit them.

Zhao Bankuo's heart moved and he asked Daozi what are you doing. Xiaodaozi bowed to the smoke several times and said with a cold face: "When Captain Liao was dying, he said this place is very beautiful."

Zhao Bankuo shut up. He suddenly felt that there was no shadow of his past on Xiao Dao Zi. What was kneeling on the ground now was just another clone of Liao Guoren. Although Liao Guoren was no longer there, his charm made him

It still affects many people, even him.

Old J came over, looked at the knife and the military doctor, and asked doubtfully: "Zhao, what are they doing?"

Zhao Bankuo thought for a while and finally answered with a "sacrifice".

Old J obviously understood what that meant, but he asked strangely: "Are they missing Liao Guoren? Did Liao Guoren die here?"

Seeing that he still didn't understand what Xiao Daozi meant, Zhao Bankuo explained: "I don't know where Captain Liao died. But Xiao Daozi did this just to express his feelings. Liao Guoren said before that he liked this place.

The knife wants to use this method to guide him and summon his soul."

Old J stopped asking. Then he saw that Xiaodaozi had stood up with a strange expression and said, "There seems to be something wrong there."

Zhao Bankuo turned his head sharply and looked towards Xiaodaozi's line of sight. He immediately saw that there were far fewer ancient stone buildings in the distance. There were many large gaps in the long ancient walls, and the exposed stone fragments

, obviously it was destroyed artificially not long ago.

Could there be something wrong with the plane there? Zhao Bankuo's heart sank and he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and go to the plane."

The group of people quickened their pace, bypassing the gorgeous and dilapidated ancient buildings, and then turned around the long black stone wall. When they arrived at the area behind the wall, they saw half of the plane originally lying there.

, at this time, there was nothing left, only the trace of a big pit.
