Chapter 576 Meeting
Dusk faded, the sun set, and the dim sunlight pierced through the clouds, bathing the entire Ladakh mountain range in the afterglow.
In the past, ferocious beasts roamed freely in this mountain range, but now there are only patches of wild grass and trees, rustling in the mountain wind.
The whole mountain seemed dead.
The wheels rolled over the gravel, and even though the armored off-road vehicle had an excellent shock absorption system, the bumpy ride still hurt my butt.
Song You sat in the co-pilot seat. The red sunset outlined his resolute face. His two military boots were placed on the dashboard. He held a rifle in his arms with his eyes narrowed.
He was observing the distant mountains and saw traces of enemies from Shelter No. 8.
The cool mountain breeze blowing in from the car window should have been a very pleasant thing, but there was no relaxation in his eyes.
The terrain here is complex and there are too many places suitable for them to ambush.
Pick up the car walkie-talkie.
"Class Two, any movement?"
Class 2 was at the front of the convoy.
"No, magnetic field imaging and infrared imaging didn't find anything. There's only weeds here, nothing else."
Niu Chao, the squad leader of Second Squad, spoke anxiously over the walkie-talkie. Marching through this wilderness felt like streaking. All he wanted was to quickly reach the Blue Rose position and extract intelligence from the captives. He wanted to make a decisive decision, whether to retreat or attack, rather than wait in suspense.
The reason why he had the idea of retreating was because he read the expression on Song You's face.
Song You had a worried look on his face, and it was clear to everyone.
"Be alert. The enemy in Shelter No. 8 cannot do nothing."
Song You gave an order and turned off the walkie-talkie.
"Hey, Brother Song, how long do you think these enemies in Shelter No. 8 can hold out?"
asked Zhang Tao, a soldier sitting in the back seat. He was a novice, only fourteen years old.
However, people in the world of refugees generally mature early and have a short average life expectancy. Fourteen years old is already considered an adult.
"Who knows? They have the Spider Queen behind them. There's no way he'll just watch us kill all our own people."
Yang Xingchen, who was operating the grenade machine gun on the roof of the car, was a little pessimistic. He patted his grenade machine gun.
"The weapons we have can't kill the Spider Queen. I guess even Leader Shen Bei isn't sure."
Song You shook his head without explaining.
Still dreaming of killing all the enemies in Shelter No. 8?
It would be great if the people in Shelter 36 could exit safely.
At this moment, the voice of the squad leader of Class 2 suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Damn it! There's no road ahead in the dense forest. We need to walk!"
Song You frowned. He had already seen the dense forest from his defensive position, but he didn't expect that there was not even a path in the forest for vehicles to pass through.
"Walk, get off the car and walk. Let's rush to the Blue Rose location on foot and hide the car. Don't wait until we come back and the car is gone."
The soldiers complained a lot. Crossing a forest in the dark was not a pleasant experience. Even if the distance was only three or four kilometers, it was enough to exhaust them.
"Can't we go back first and come back tomorrow?" The squad leader of the second squad suggested hesitantly, "Going into the forest at night is not a good idea. Any ambushing enemies or ferocious beasts there would be enough to kill us all."
The last rays of the sun melted into the twilight. The sky was dark and the mountains showed a blue-green outline. As far as the eye could see, the vision was chaotic and it was impossible to distinguish the boundaries between the mountains, the wilderness and the sky.
Song You shook his head and rejected the second squad leader's proposal.
"We have night vision goggles. We have a greater advantage at night. If we come during the day tomorrow, encountering the enemies from Shelter 8 will be even more troublesome. Follow my orders and get out of the car. We need to cross this mountain forest and bring the prisoners to Blue Rose as soon as possible."
Relying on the prestige he had accumulated before, all the soldiers followed his orders and after hiding the armored off-road vehicles with branches, they walked into the dark forest.
The advanced night vision device had almost no noise, but the field of view suddenly turned green, making people feel a little dizzy.
Song You walked in front, his body hunched, the butt of his rifle resting on his shoulder. The mountain forest in the night looked even more eerie in the night vision goggles.
The sky was pitch black, but Song You still relied on his strong sense of direction to move towards the crash site. Marching in this dense forest, if you go in the wrong direction, you will be in big trouble.
There was a sound of flapping wings, and the flock of birds was startled. They made a noisy chirping sound, flew into the air, and circled above the crowd.
Everyone's nerves were tense and they were on high alert.
It took longer than expected to cross the dense forest at night, but fortunately we did not encounter any enemies from Shelter No. 8.
This is also very strange. There are quite a few people in Shelter No. 8, but they are not distributed here.
After passing through the complex jungle, the rest of the journey became much easier and they soon arrived at the position where Blue Rose was.
