Chapter 475 Shaoyu, here I come
Meng Hu originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing this, he quickly stopped talking.
Gu Yuehuai's lips were pale, and she didn't ask any more questions. She looked up at the gray sky and said, "It looks like it's going to rain soon. Take your things and go back. Don't let Shaoyu and the others wait too long."
Meng Hu nodded: "Well, it's time to go back. I've been out for too long."
Wang Xin smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the platoon leader has already noticed something is wrong and thinks we have died for our country."
"Let's quickly pack up and go back to have something hot to eat. With the help of the firepower and weapons of these two squads of soldiers from Country M, we can launch a counterattack. Who knows, we can even take this opportunity to fight back and break out first!"
Meng Hu was extremely confident. He hung the bulging backpacks on his body one by one, but the heavy bags made him unstable. The weakness caused by long-term malnutrition was not a problem that could be solved by one or two cans of food.
Seeing that he almost fell to the ground, Wang Xin hurried forward to help him and exclaimed, "Take it easy!"
Meng Hu sat on the ground, looking at the twenty supply packs, his head ached. "If we don't take the supplies with us, what if the American soldiers come to investigate and take the supplies away? The food in these supply packs is very important to our 168th Platoon. As long as we can take them back, many troublesome problems can be solved!"
Wang Xin pursed his lips and said, "How about this, you take Comrade Gu back and ask the platoon leader to arrange for someone to come and get him. I'll stay here to prevent the people from Country M from coming and getting surrounded. If there's any news, I can go back and report it."
Hearing this, Meng Hu shook his head seriously and said, "No!"
"Comrade Wang Xin, you have a weak constitution and are always in a coma. What if the people from Country M come and you happen to be in a coma? Wouldn't that delay important matters? So, you take Comrade Gu back and I'll stay here to guard!"
"Okay, it's decided. You guys should leave now. We've been delayed for a long time."
Although Meng Hu's words were unpleasant, they were very resolute, and it was obvious that he was leaving the dangerous task to himself.
Wang Xin's eyes were red. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Yuehuai said, "Use the vines to pull it."
Meng Hu's eyes lit up: "Comrade Gu, you are not only the military doctor of our 168th Platoon, but also our think tank!"
Wang Xin was a little hesitant: "These supply packs are not light. If they are all pulled behind the vines, they may crush the grass. If the U country finds our tracks, it will be a disaster. Otherwise, we should find someone to come over."
After hearing this, Meng Hu hesitated. If the hidden location was exposed because of the supply package, it would be a loss.
Gu Yuehuai also looked at Wang Xin in surprise. This man was quite smart. She pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, but there is no need to worry too much. It will rain soon, and the heavy rain will cover all traces in the forest."
Meng Hu grinned and nodded seriously: "Okay Wang Xin, let's get started."
As he spoke, he began to break the vines. The vines were very tough and difficult to break with just hands.
"Use this." Gu Yuehuai took out a dagger from the supply bag and handed it to Meng Hu and Wang Xin.
After the two took it, they began to cut the vines. After a while, they had cut a long vine. They strung the supply bags on the vine one by one and tried to drag it. It was indeed easier than carrying them on their backs.
The three of them extinguished the fire, carried a bunch of supply bags, and moved forward in the dark.
Gu Yuehuai listened carefully to the messages conveyed by the plants and trees. Whenever there were signs of large-scale biological activity, she would lead them to change the route without leaving a trace, go further away, and avoid the trouble that might come at any time.
In this way, the three of them walked for about an hour and left the forest.
"It was quite safe along the way. We didn't even encounter a rabbit." Meng Hu was a little confused.
Wang Xin thought about it and gave a reasonable explanation: "Maybe we made too much noise."
Gu Yuehuai didn't want to take credit for himself, so he let the two of them guess, but he looked around carefully.
This place is close to the edge of Lingchuan Rock. Outside the forest are protruding rocks. These rocks are very mysterious and can effectively prevent people on the cliff from looking down. It seems that the hiding place Yan Shaoyu is looking for is right below.
At this moment, there was a loud rumbling sound in the sky, and raindrops as big as beans poured down. The whole forest was shrouded in rain and fog, and it was hard to see clearly. However, the illusory forest where nothing could be seen clearly was even more terrifying.
Meng Hu retracted his gaze, shuddered, and whispered, "Huang Xiangu is absolutely real!"
Gu Yuehuai and Wang Xin both heard it. The former knew the truth but was too lazy to expose it, while the latter had been brainwashed and believed what "Huang Xiangu" said. After all, no one could explain the whereabouts of the two squads of soldiers from Country M.
Gu Yuehuai took a few steps forward, stood beside the rock and looked down: "Just below?"
Meng Hu was startled and said hurriedly, "It's dark and the road is slippery. Comrade Gu, you have to be careful. Some of these rocks are loose. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to the platoon leader when I return!"
Gu Yuehuai shook his head and asked, "It's okay. Where is your temporary camp?"
Meng Hu held the vine tightly in his hand and raised his chin forward: "It's just in front."
Gu Yuehuai walked forward quickly. Her eyesight was much better than others. Although it was dark, she quickly discovered the faint traces of friction on the intertwined vines climbing the wall, as if someone had walked there.
"Our platoon leader was very smart! At that time, we thought that if we lie down along these vines, we might be able to find a way out at the bottom of the mountain. Unfortunately, there was nothing but sea below, and there were sharks in it. It was impossible for us to swim back. Fortunately, there is always a way out, and the platoon leader managed to find a concave rock wall!" Speaking of this temporary camp, Meng Hu's face was full of pride.
It was all because of this place that they were able to deal with the soldiers from Country M for half a month.
After saying that, Meng Hu turned to look at Wang Xin again, and said with a look of eagerness to go home: "We can just climb down from here. Comrade Wang Xin, you wait here. I will go down to find someone first, and then transport the supply package back."
Wang Xin nodded, took down all the supply packs hung on the vines, and waited for his comrades to carry them.
"Comrade Gu, let's go down together. You follow me. Be careful. It's raining heavily and the rock wall is very slippery!" After Meng Hu said this, he climbed up a vine by himself, like a gecko, and disappeared on the edge of the cliff with a glare and a jump.
Gu Yuehuai walked forward to take a look. The cliff was covered with fog and visibility was very low. Meng Hu soon disappeared.
She took a deep breath and grabbed a vine like Meng Hu. Wang Xin watched from the side and said quickly, "Comrade Gu, you should take off the backpack on your back and wait for the platoon leader to take it. It's too heavy and unsafe."
"It's okay." Gu Yuehuai shook his head, without taking off the backpack, and slid down along the vine.
