Chapter 72 Who are the comrades?
"Cousin, where are we going?"
Seeing that it was already dark but Lei Shen continued to drive forward without turning on the headlights, Xu Ge couldn't help but ask.
"The woman who spoke to the poachers earlier said they knew someone was following them, but they had already spotted the golden yak and planned to kill it before leaving."
Lei Shen pointed to the snow-capped mountains ahead and said, "Golden wild yaks live year-round at altitudes above 6,000 meters. They're most likely on the snow-capped mountains ahead."
"Are we going up the mountain? Tonight?" Xu Ge could already feel the temperature around him dropping rapidly, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Thor: "You don't have to. I'll go up alone later. You wait for me in the car."
"Cousin, I'll go with you, maybe I can help..."
"You can't keep up with me, and you'll be a burden if you go." Lei Shen interrupted Xu Ge, "Those two rookies have been discovered by poachers. I need to find them as soon as possible."
Xu Ge: ...
After it was completely dark, the car finally arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
Thor still didn't turn on the car lights. He drove the car to a more secluded location and stopped.
"Take out the dry food and water from the bag. Let's eat something first to replenish our calories."
After the two finished eating, Lei Shen took out two pairs of headsets and taught Xu Ge how to use them. He then instructed him, "Wait here after I go upstairs. Don't turn on the headlights. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
"clear!"
"There's a black box in the trunk. Go get it for me."
"good!"
Xu Ge came to the back of the car and opened the trunk. A rectangular box more than one meter long came into view. There was a line of words written on the box: Type 11 Individual Integrated Combat System.
I picked up the box and it weighed about eight or nine kilograms.
Back in the passenger seat, Thor had just finished checking his two pistols.
"Cousin, what is this?" Xu Ge asked curiously, handing over the box.
"My big baby!"
Thor took the box and opened it with a snap. Inside was a completely black rifle, some spare parts, and several magazines. A row of grenades were placed in the bottom compartment.
Click, click, click!
All the parts were quickly assembled, and a big gun with a domineering shape and a laser rangefinder appeared before our eyes.
"Isn't it cool? There are only three of these in the entire Wolf Brigade! They can fire both guns and artillery, an assault rifle, sniper rifle, and grenade launcher all in one!"
Thor said as he put a thermal imaging camera on his head and took out something that looked like a digital camera and started operating the screen.
"Cousin, what are you doing?"
"Program the grenade. The wind is strong and the terrain is complex up there. If you encounter the enemy, just airburst them!"
“Wow!”
Xu Ge was full of praise.
Can you even program grenades and control the timing of their explosion? No wonder this thing isn't called a gun but a personal combat system.
After inserting the rifle magazine and grenade chain into the tactical vest, Thor pushed open the car door with the big gun in his arms, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Sizzle!
A voice rang out from Xu Ge's headset: "Cousin, how's the signal?"
Xu Ge immediately pressed the call button: "Good signal, cousin!"
"Stay safe and contact us if anything happens."
"clear!"
. . .
. . .
After Thor left, Xu Ge moved to the driver's seat and sat quietly waiting.
The light outside had become brighter at some point, and Xu Ge looked up through the windshield in confusion. The sky was full of stars hanging upside down, and a big, round moon appeared before his eyes.
This was the first time he saw the stars and the moon at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. They were so real that it seemed as if he could pick them up with his hands.
The endless snow-capped mountains are covered with a layer of silver gauze by the moonlight, giving people a sense of panic that the world is vast and one’s own insignificance is insignificant.
I don’t know where the chief instructor is now. Has he encountered those enemies? Is he in danger?
Xu Ge's mind was full of random thoughts. After all, he had never experienced this before, and he was still a little nervous staying alone in an uninhabited area at night.
He reached out and touched his waist. The cool touch of the claw knife and pistol made him feel more at ease.
Bang!
A loud noise broke the silence of the night.
Xu Ge's body shook violently, and he subconsciously grabbed the handle of the gun and looked around.
It's gunfire!
But the wilderness was too empty, and he couldn't tell the direction of the gunshots for a moment, and he couldn't see anything around him.
What should I do now? Continue hiding in the car or go out and take a look?
Since there were gunshots, there must have been a fight between people from different camps. Maybe the person the chief instructor was looking for was nearby.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Ge pressed the headset: "Cousin, I heard someone shooting, but I don't know where the person is. What should I do?"
Thor's voice soon rang out: "From my perspective, there's no one on your left, right, or behind you. It should be in front of you. Get out of the car first and find a place to hide."
"clear!"
After a pause, Thor continued, "Shoot when necessary, be decisive!"
"yes!"
Thor's voice quickly calmed Xu Ge's nervous mood. After quietly opening the car door, he ran with his gun in hand and hid behind a big rock more than ten meters away, listening to the movements around him with his ears perked up.
Boom!
Two explosions were heard from far above, and Xu Ge guessed that it must be Thor fighting with someone else.
For a moment, the tension came again.
He wanted to ask about the situation in the headset, but he was worried about distracting Thor's attention, so he finally chose to hide and not move.
Bang!
Another gunshot was heard.
Since Xu Ge had already gotten out of the car at this time, the gunshot was very clear this time, and he could immediately tell that it was coming from not far ahead.
Then, the sounds of shouting and fighting were heard.
Now Xu Ge couldn't stay any longer, he knew that there must be people on his side fighting the enemy in the front!
He has a gun in his hand and can't just hide here and watch his comrades fall into danger. He has to go and help!
Thinking of this, Xu Ge bent over and came out from behind the rock, feeling his way forward along the ice at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.
The person who fired the shot was most likely an enemy, because Thor said that the two newcomers participating in the selection had no weapons.
Soon, the sound of fighting became clearer. Xu Ge quickened his pace and soon saw two figures fighting in a rocky beach.
In the moonlight, a double-barreled shotgun fell to the side. The two figures fighting could not be seen clearly, and they were both wearing outdoor clothes.
"Stop! Stand still or I'll shoot!" Xu Ge rushed over and pointed the gun at the two men.
The two figures quickly separated, both looking at Xu Ge in surprise and doubt.
Only then did Xu Ge have the opportunity to see the two men clearly. The one on the left looked to be in his twenties, with a wound on his face bleeding. The one on the right was wearing goggles and his age could not be seen, and he was holding a stone in his hand.
Both of them have Asian faces.
After seeing Xu Ge's appearance clearly, the two of them moved at the same time, trying to get closer.
"Stop! I'll shoot anyone who moves!"
Xu Ge shouted, "Who is from the Chinese army?"
"Type 92? Are you a soldier too?"
The man on the left saw the gun in Xu Ge's hand and suddenly said, "Comrade, shoot quickly! He's a poacher!"
Xu Ge was startled and subconsciously pointed the gun to the right.
"He is the poacher, I am a Chinese soldier!" Unexpectedly, the person on the right also shouted, and his voice did not sound very old.
Xu Ge: ???
