Chapter 470: No Mercy
The driver drove for more than twenty minutes before arriving at the foot of Lingchuanyan Mountain.
He got out of the car and helped Gu Yuehuai take the heavy bamboo basket out of the trunk. He said speechlessly, "Little girl, this basket is really heavy. Can you carry it up the mountain? I tell you, there are old forests deep in Lingchuan Rock, and there are wild beasts. You can just walk around at the foot of the mountain. I'll wait here and take you back to the county town later, okay?"
On the one hand, the driver was indeed worried that such a beautiful girl like Gu Yuehuai would end up in the belly of a wild beast, but on the other hand, he also felt that this business was easy to do. One trip was equivalent to earning several days' money, and if he took a round trip, wouldn't he make a fortune?
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said, "No need, Master, you can go back first."
The driver sighed and didn't force her. He put the things on the side of the road and got in the car. Before leaving, he reminded her again: "Little girl, be careful. Remember, don't go to that hill over there. There are people fighting there, and there are gunshots everywhere. Be careful not to be mistaken for a spy and lose your life. On the hill... well, just be careful."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and watched the driver drive away, soon disappearing among the mountains.
Without stopping, she carried a half-person-high bamboo basket on her back, carried a bag in her hand, and went up the mountain along the winding and steep path.
Lingchuanyan is a steep place with jungles and giant trees everywhere. It is summer now and there are many snakes, insects and plague among the giant trees.
Gu Yuehuai had just walked for ten minutes when she encountered a green snake spitting out its tongue. It was as thick as her wrist. She threw a stone to scare the snake away. She then used a wooden stick to beat the snake for the rest of the walk to avoid stepping on snakes or insects.
At noon, Gu Yuehuai climbed to the middle of the mountain. Everywhere he looked were thick ancient trees and vines. He felt like he was back in the back mountain of the Dalaozi Production Brigade, in the valley where he and Yan Shaoyu had experienced the wolf pack. But this place seemed even more secluded.
Gu Yuehuai frowned, looked into the endless depths of the jungle, and sighed in distress.
The further she walked, the closer she was to Country M. On the other side of the mountain was a rocky cliff, and below the cliff was the sea. Since they were trying to avoid people from Country M, Row 168 must be in a very secluded place.
If it were her, she might go to a place close to the rock wall. After all, the environment in the mountains is humid and harsh, and there are many poisonous snakes.
However, she only had a rough map and was not clear about the terrain, so this was just her guess.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuehuai put down the bamboo basket, half squatted down, closed his eyes slightly, and touched the grass in the mountains. Where his fingers touched the grass, a fluorescent green glow flashed, and bits of light whizzed through the leaves. The grass and trees moved without wind, swaying their branches, as if sweet rain fell on their bodies, stretching their veins.
The next second, Gu Yuehuai opened his eyes, and a hint of green light flashed across his glass-like eyes.
She put the backpack on her back again, straightened her back, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.
As she expected, the healing power could stimulate the growth of plants and also obtain information transmitted by plants. The feeling was wonderful, as if she could understand what the plants were saying. The originally unfamiliar environment around her also became very familiar.
It was as if she was a small grass, a small flower, a vine, a big tree that had grown up in Lingchuan Rock...
With the help of the information conveyed by the plants, she can clearly avoid the poisonous snakes and spiders hidden in the grass and have a smooth journey.
He quickened his pace all the way, and only stopped when it was almost evening.
She looked into the distance at the huge trees that blocked out the sun in the mountains. It was already dark. If she hadn't been taking space spring water for a long time, which made her five senses far superior to ordinary people, she would have been blind by now.
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips, sat down on the thick vines under the tree, took out the hot buns from the space, ate them bite by bite, ate two big meat buns in a row, drank half a bottle of water, filled his stomach, and continued on his journey.
There was no difference between darkness and day to her. The most important thing now was to find Yan Shaoyu.
Only by putting yourself in their shoes can you understand how bad the environment is here. Although the obstacles here are nothing to her, water droplets from the leaves and in the air still fall on her body from time to time, making her clothes stick to her skin and very wet.
In the middle of the night, it was pitch dark in the woods, but Gu Yuehuai still moved forward carefully.
Along the way, with their extraordinary abilities, they avoided countless poisonous and ferocious beasts. It was indeed a lawless border area, with even tigers and leopards in the forest. In this era, the forestry industry has not yet flourished, and many places, such as Lingchuanyan, have not been developed. It is no wonder that the 168th platoon has been hiding there for so long and has not been found by Country M.
While searching for people, the soldiers of Country M will also encounter danger. In such a place, a bite from a poisonous snake may result in death. This will greatly hinder their search.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuehuai stopped and drank some water. Just when she thought she would not get anything, her face suddenly changed. Judging from the information conveyed by the plants and trees in the forest, there were groups of large animals moving around ahead.
She half bent down and approached carefully. If the situation was not right, she would hide in the Sumeru space.
Although she holds the power of healing and can stimulate the growth of plants, which would make her very lethal in a place like this, there is no need to conflict with the indigenous people in the jungle unless it is absolutely necessary. It seems that she has to take a detour.
Gu Yuehuai originally thought that the animals moving around in front were a pack of wild animals such as wolves, but when he saw the campfire and heard human footsteps, his breathing became slightly faster, and then he crouched even lower.
This was the first time she met someone since entering Lingchuanyan.
What needs to be determined now is whether these people are from Country Z or Country M.
She took a deep breath and looked over. When she saw the yellow-haired man reflected in the blazing firewood, she frowned in disappointment. As expected, her luck was not so good. She met the foreign devils from Country M.
They roasted canned beef and dried meat over the fire, giving off a rich aroma.
"Damn Z country army, they are like rats!"
"We have been investigating for several days. The Z army has no food and will not last long."
“Hehehe, by then we will definitely be able to take down the 168th row and make a great contribution!”
“…”
A group of foreign devils ate hot soup and talked nonsense, fantasizing about winning the battle on the front line.
Gu Yuehuai could understand English. There was a hidden dark light in her eyes as she swept her gaze over the group of M country soldiers. There were not many of them, only ten. They should be a squad of soldiers, led by a non-commissioned officer.
Gu Yuehuai narrowed his eyes slightly and decided to wait a little longer until they finished eating and were exhausted before taking action.
That's right, she was not going to let these foreign devils from Country M go. The battlefield was changing rapidly, and there was no telling how many people from Country Z had died at their hands. What's more, this was a conspiracy by Country M to stir up conflict, and it should not be tolerated.
As a military doctor of the Eighth Military Region, although she does not belong to the Operations Department, she still has responsibilities and cannot be soft on the enemy.
