That stab, struck with all his strength, hit the black bear's left eye!
All he heard was a terrifying roar that pierced through the dense forest, and a hot and smelly stream of heat instantly splashed all over Lu Zhan. He gritted his teeth and held the dagger tightly, twisting his wrist with force. The next second, a huge external force lifted him up from the ground and threw him out.
After he fell heavily from the air, he completely lost consciousness.
After hearing Lu Zhan's thrilling recollection, Ma Jun breathed a sigh of relief:
"We didn't find a dagger at the scene. I'm sure the dagger must have pierced the black bear's eye, causing the beast to be severely injured and flee in pain."
Liu Jincai patted his chest and gasped:
"Luckily, our battalion commander is very capable. Even Black Bear is no match for him. If it weren't for rescuing Comrade Chen, he wouldn't have been so badly injured..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt someone poking him on the waist. He turned around and found it was Ma Jun.
Ma Jun poked him with a wooden face and winked at the side.
Only then did Liu Jincai notice that Chen Chunyan had brought more hot water and was standing a little behind the two of them, stiff and motionless, her round face flushed red.
Liu Jincai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, pretended to clear his throat, and forced a smile on his face:
"Comrade Chen, let me do it. You go and have some rest."
His outstretched hand hung in the air. Chen Chunyan acted as if she didn't hear him speak or see his movements. She walked straight past the two of them, walked to Lu Zhan's bed, and poured him a cup of hot water and placed it on the bedside.
She bit her lower lip again, her eyes reddened, and whispered to Lu Zhan:
"Captain Lu, have a good rest. I'll come back later to change your dressing."
After saying that, he raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and walked out. His back looked as aggrieved as he could be.
Lu Zhan frowned slightly and looked up at Liu Jincai.
Liu Jincai touched his nose awkwardly and said stubbornly:
"Captain, I didn't say that to her on purpose. Who knew she'd be standing behind me and eavesdropping without anyone noticing? Besides, what I said was the truth..."
Lu Zhan's expression became more serious, and he said:
"Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity in the future!"
"Yes! Battalion Commander!"
Although Liu Jincai was dissatisfied with Chen Chunyan, he dared not disobey Lu Zhan's words.
Seeing that they were the only ones in the tent, Lu Zhan asked what had happened during the three days he had been unconscious.
Ma Jun then told them that the transmitter was flooded and the radio equipment had no signal.
Lu Zhan's brows furrowed even more tightly:
"There are no flares, and the communication equipment is useless. What about fire? Have you tried to light a fire to report the coordinates?"
Liu Jincai nodded quickly:
"It was too late. The next day, we heard the roar of planes flying overhead. Ma Jun immediately organized the soldiers to light a fire, but it was raining too hard and the fire went out immediately. Later, when the rain was a little lighter, we finally managed to light the fire, but by then the planes had flown away."
Ma Jun added solemnly:
"Also, from what I've observed over the past few days, the fog in the mountainous area where we are is extremely heavy. We only heard the sound of the plane flying by, but didn't see the fuselage at all. I think even if there was a fire, the mountain tops would be covered in fog from the height of the plane, and we wouldn't be able to see anything."
No communication lines, no signal flares, no vision, no food, no medicine...
Lu Zhan knew that he could no longer sit and wait for death. Three days had passed. If the rescue team knew of their existence and coordinates, they would have taken action. However, from the current situation, it was obvious that the command center might have thought that their loss of contact meant that they had all died.
It will take at least a week for the flood to completely recede. In addition, the roads along the way have been washed away, so it will be difficult to move even after the flood recedes. We must contact the command center now.
"How many days will the food last?"
"Two days at most."
Lu Zhan closed his eyes and tried to contact the command center thousands of miles away as soon as possible. The original method didn't work, so he still had to rely on communication equipment.
The transmitter was flooded, leaving only a radio with no signal...
If there is no signal, then find a signal!
"Ma Jun, go outside and observe if there's a higher location than our camp, preferably one that's open and unobstructed. Besides the thick fog, dense trees can easily form a magnetic field that affects normal signal transmission. We can try to eliminate these interferences one by one."
"Yes! Battalion Commander!"
Ma Jun agreed and was about to leave the tent when Shi Tou, who had been performing duties in place of Bi Guoguang for the past few days, suddenly spoke up:
"Report to the battalion commander, I know such a place!"
Ma Jun stopped and Lu Zhan's eyes lit up:
"Where?"
Just now, Shitou had been standing aside and listening carefully to what several people were saying. When he heard Lu Zhan ask Captain Ma to find a place with high terrain and no obstructions, he suddenly remembered that during the previous rescue process, Captain Bi talked to the villagers on the raft about the local customs and folkways of Anfeng Town in order to distract them from their nervousness. A fellow villager mentioned a place called Leigongyan.
He was a little curious at the time, so he just listened:
According to the local, Leigong Rock is the tip of the high mountain behind Anfeng Town. This tip is truly "sharp", made up of several huge rocks of different shapes piled together. There is no grass growing on the rocks. It stands abruptly on the top of the mountain like an alien, with its top towering into the clouds.
This is not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is that the pile of rocks there are struck by lightning several times every rainy season. Each time, sparks fly and there is a huge thunder.
The locals in Anfeng Town said that the pile of huge rocks was the incarnation of Thunder God. He was struck by lightning because the couple had a quarrel and the Lightning Goddess was punishing him!
So whenever a couple in the town quarreled, if the woman said, "If you tell lies, be careful or the next time there's thunder and lightning from Leigongyan you'll be struck to death!", the man would usually mutter a few words and shut up.
At that time, he just wanted to listen for fun, but he didn't expect that Leigongyan was so similar to the place described by Captain Lu. He said it out loud as soon as he thought of it.
Moreover, Leigong Rock is on the mountain peak directly opposite the refuge area. You can see the huge rock at the bottom of it when standing in the refuge area. It is estimated to take about an hour to reach it after passing through a forest.
Lu Zhan pondered for a moment. The Leigong Rock described by Shitou did sound like a good signal transmission location. It was not far from the camp, the terrain was high, and there was no obstruction.
But if Leigong Rock is really as its name suggests and is extremely susceptible to being struck by lightning during the rainy season, it is more likely that the huge rocks contain a large amount of conductive metal ores, and its special geographical location has made it the "lightning rod" of Anfeng Town.
Such a place is good, but it is the rainy season now, so it is really dangerous.
