Chapter 38 Chapter 38
On the seventh day, the other two teams also came down from the mountain.
Both teams suffered casualties, especially the second team. There were fifteen people when they entered the mountain, but now only four came out alive, while the first team lost six people.
Those who survived all had injuries to varying degrees, but none of them were fatal and could be cured with some external medicine.
The joy of the harvest turned into grief of death. Everyone wanted to go up the mountain again and kill all the beasts in the mountain, but it was just a thought, because it was just a momentary thought caused by anger. If they were to face the wolves, they would definitely be so scared that their legs would become limp and unable to move.
Ye Xun and Qin Wei were the calmest. Ye Xun had been mentally prepared, while Qin Wei was used to life and death.
The bodies of the dead teammates could no longer be found, and it was not worth going up the mountain again for them. Who knew if there would be a second tiger?
Team leader: "The team will rest here for one day and will set off for the return trip tomorrow. Each team will report the injured and medical personnel will come to clean and apply medicine."
After saying that, he and the patrol soldiers processed the wolf and tiger meat in a simple way.
The edible value of the fur is not high, but it has strong ability to keep out the cold. After being peeled off, it will not be thrown away, but brought back to the base and processed by special personnel to be made into fur.
From the meat to the internal organs to the bones, everything is edible. After cleaning out the filth in the body, the corpses are loaded onto the truck.
Because the harvest was so rich, they were not asked to hand in the supplies harvested by others, so everyone had a good harvest, especially Ye Xun and the other person.
The garrison was not like the mountains, where there were many eyes and mouths, and it was not easy to set up a pot to cook noodles. Under the cover of the mountaineering bag, Ye Xun took out two beef patties from the space, patted Qin Wei's armpit and pointed to the bushes not far away, suggesting that he go that way.
The two men turned their backs to the team and began to enjoy the delicious beef patties.
While eating, Ye Xun said, "Do you think the families of those who were killed by wolves will make trouble?"
Qin Wei replied: "There will be some fuss, but it's definitely not for these people, but for the meat we brought back this time."
I don't think there will be any trouble. The risks were explained clearly before the mission and they themselves acknowledged it.
“Yeah, the risk agreement has been signed. It’s written in black and white and cannot be denied, but there are always some people who are unreasonable.” Ye Xun scratched his hair helplessly.
"Pa—" Qin Wei slapped his hand expressionlessly, "Your hand is full of oil, don't scratch it randomly."
Ye Xun looked down at his palms, which were very clean. Where did the oil come from?
He retorted unhappily, not forgetting to control his voice: "I took the pancake with one hand, and this hand has no oil."
Qin Wei calmly took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket, quickly wiped his own and Ye Xun's hands before they froze, and then put on his gloves again.
"Whether it's oily or not, don't scratch your food when you eat it, as illness comes from the mouth."
That was true. Ye Xun stopped talking back and was led towards the camp obediently.
After walking in the mountains with great tension for several days, everyone was exhausted. When they arrived at a place that made them feel safe, they immediately relaxed and the suppressed fatigue surged up like a tide.
The area near the tents at the camp was filled with sleeping bags. Ye Xun and Qin Wei chose a place to sleep away from the crowd.
The disadvantage of a group mission is that you can't use the space at will. The open-air environment makes Ye Xun feel insecure, so he can only hide in the arms of those around him.
Qin Wei hugged him to stop him from adding fuel to the fire, "Go to sleep quickly, we have to go back early tomorrow morning."
Ye Xun: “Yeah.” After nodding, he found a comfortable position in Qin Wei’s arms and closed his eyes to sleep.
Before going to bed, he took out a hot water bottle from the space and placed it in the gap between the two of them.
The next day, a deafening bell rang at the garrison. Ye Xun was woken up from his sleep and was in a very bad mood.
He tried to find the source of the sound, and found a small copper chime in the leader's hand. He was hitting it frantically with a small hammer, and even shouted while hitting it: "It's dawn, everyone get up! Get up! We will set off after breakfast, don't fall behind."
Everyone looked exhausted, but they had to force themselves to get up because the vehicles would not stop for them.
Breakfast was provided by the patrol team, a pot of white porridge with some wolf meat and dehydrated vegetables. It was boiled over high heat for a while and the aroma wafted out.
When Ye Xun smelled the aroma, he curiously took the lunch box to get it back, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth. The taste was okay, but a little bland. It would be better if a salted duck egg or pickled mustard was added.
He put half of it into Qin Wei's lunch box, then secretly opened a bag of pickled mustard tuber and shared it between the two of them.
After breakfast, the team prepared to set off. After losing seventeen people, there was a lot of space left, all used to store wolf meat.
The journey back took more than an hour. When we arrived at the base, there were already many people waiting outside the wall. There were quite a lot of people. Ye Xun leaned his head to look and felt that there were more people outside the base.
Not only did he feel this way, but others also felt the same way and started discussing it.
Xu Feng walked around a lot outside and knew more about the base than Ye Xun. He was the first to ask, "There are a lot of unfamiliar faces in the base. Is our base expanding again?"
After the last round of expansion, it was already shown to be full, so it didn’t make sense for them to expand the base again without leaving the others, and that speed would be too astonishing.
At this time, the base commander Chen Guoan came out. He had dark circles under his eyelids and a scruffy beard. It was obvious that he had not slept well recently.
Seeing the patrol team coming back, he was overjoyed and ran over directly, "You are finally back, how are you doing? What did you gain?"
The team leader had someone pull the sled over to show Chen Guoan the harvest, and he was so surprised that he kept saying good things.
"That's great! We can eat meat during the New Year at the base this year."
But the team leader was more concerned about the several tents he saw in the open space outside the base. There were only a few before the departure, so how come there were so many suddenly?
This is also what Chen Guoan wanted to say. He told the team leader what happened during the days they were away.
"During the previous drop in temperature, many people froze to death in other private bases in H City. Ordinary people were already dissatisfied with the actions of the upper echelons, and this time they exploded. They broke into the homes of the top executives of the base and killed everyone in the family, young and old. With no people left, the base could no longer be inhabited, so they fled to us. But we were afraid that if we took in those people who had killed people, there would be chaos in the base, so we refused. As a result, two days ago, they joined forces with people in the base, opened the door, and several people sneaked in with guns. Two of the outermost families were killed. Fortunately, the patrol team passed by, otherwise they would not have been caught." Chen Guoan's tone was full of helplessness and heartache. How could people's hearts be so bad? If they came to kill him, it would be understandable because he was the one who rejected their application to enter the city, but they killed innocent people.
Team leader Zhao Wenjie was filled with indignation after hearing this. These people should be arrested and cut into pieces one by one.
He asked Chen Guoan: "Where are these people now?"
Chen Guoan: "They are all locked up, without food or water. We will execute you all when you come back."
Ye Xun also learned from other people what had happened, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
He was in no mood to stay and share the meat, so he ran straight home. Qin Wei knew that he was worried about Wang Yu, so he ran behind him.
After exiting the elevator, Ye Xun saw a large pool of dark red blood at the door of his house. He almost couldn't breathe, and his hands were shaking as he took the key to open the door.
Qin Wei couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed the key and opened the door.
As soon as Bal heard the noise outside the door, he was guarding the door. As soon as the door opened, he excitedly rushed to Qin Wei.
The 200-pound body knocked Ye Xun to the ground, causing him to take three steps back. If Qin Wei hadn't quickly supported him, he would have probably fallen to the ground.
Hearing the noise outside, Wang Yu came out in a down jacket, and seeing the two people at the door, he shouted happily: "Brother, you are finally back."
Ye Xun strode up to her and observed her carefully. He did not find any wounds. The stone in his heart finally fell. Only then did he smell the fragrance of food in the air. He hurriedly pulled Qin Wei into the house and closed the door to prevent the smell from escaping to other houses and causing unnecessary trouble.
Ye Xun asked Wang Yu: "What happened during the days we were away? Why is there so much blood at the door?"
Wang Yu scratched his head, looking around and hesitating: "Well, I was worried that Bal was bored at home, so I took him downstairs to play the day before yesterday. Someone saw him and came to steal the dog that night. I thought I had trained under Brother Qin for so long, so I had to find a chance to try, so I opened the door. I didn't expect there were five people outside, and one of them had a gun. Fortunately, Bal took the initiative and knocked down the man with the gun. Then I fed them each a bullet and sent them to the west."
This was her embellished explanation. In fact, the situation was more serious than this. The other party had already shot at her, but it might be the first time she did such a thing and her hands were shaking badly, so she missed the target.
If a mistake is made at a critical moment, the price will be paid with one's life. Before he could fire a second shot, his neck was bitten off by Bal. The remaining five people were shot to death by Wang Yu.
After hearing what she said, Ye Xun wanted to slap her twice. He had warned her not to open the door to strangers before leaving the house, but all her words went down the drain.
"If there's a next time, Qin Wei and I will consider locking you in the house before we go out." Fortunately, nothing happened this time. If something really happened, how would he explain to his parents when he arrived in Province Y?
This matter could not be let go like this. Ye Xun walked into the room, took out the satellite phone, and complained to Ye's father and mother who were far away in Chen Village in person. Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Ye Xun waved to Wang Yu, and when the person came to him, he handed the phone to her, leaving her to bear the anger from her elders herself.
He took Qin Wei back to the room. He had been outside for the past seven days and couldn't even take a shower or wipe his body. Now he felt dirty all over and wouldn't go to bed until he washed himself.
While Wang Yu is not distracted, we can also take a double bath, perfect.
No matter how long the two men took to shower, they finished in about half an hour. When they walked out of the bathroom, their lips were red and swollen, especially Ye Xun, who had pinch marks on his waist. Fortunately, he was wearing clothes so that they could not be seen, otherwise he would have crawled into the ground in shame.
In the living room, Wang Yu was still being scolded. Although they were separated by several provinces, he nodded and bowed naturally, as if he had been under control for years.
You deserve it!
Ye Xun rolled his eyes at her and went back to his room.
As soon as she touched the bed, she was thrown onto the bed by the man behind her and her lips were blocked tightly.
When climbing to the top in the swaying state, Ye Xun had only one thought in his mind, that is, he should never tease a man who had just started having sex and had been forced to be a vegetarian for a while.
