Chapter 522 Action
The last time this captain led a team was before the polar night. At that time, the flora and fauna in the entire forest were different from what they are now. The entire forest was dry in summer, and there was almost no one sitting under a tree with a fallen leech around their neck like now.
The young man with leeches on his neck was only about twenty years old and it was his first mission. He felt something behind his neck and when he raised his hand and touched the soft touch, his face turned pale with fright.
I tried hard not to scream out.
"Captain! There's something on my neck that I can't get off!"
The captain turned around, pulled down his collar and saw that the black leech's mouthparts had already penetrated into his skin.
If it had just been peeled off, you could just flick it off with your fingernail, but now it's embedded in the skin and it's not so easy to deal with.
If he pulled it out forcefully, part of the mouthparts would break off inside. Just as he was about to ask for a lighter, Mu Xi had already handed him a red-hot branch that he had burned with a lighter.
"If the open flame is not well controlled, it can easily burn the skin. After burning the wood, blow out the burning flame. The heat from the burning wood can also drive the leeches out."
The captain took the wood and placed it next to the leech's mouthparts. After a while, the leech fell off by itself.
The medical soldier quickly disinfected and applied medicine on the wound.
The captain looked at Mu Xi, the mountain dweller who was temporarily recruited. It was said that he had also studied at the police academy before. He raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, brother, you have a lot of experience."
Mu Xi smiled and said, "You will naturally learn it if you encounter it more often in the mountains."
After the leech incident, Mu Xi saw a tree trunk covered in mud and asked everyone to take a detour to avoid the wild boars.
Relying on previous memory, I found a place with water.
A long wooden stick was sharpened and stood by the pond. With a flick of the stick, a fish was forked on the stick.
When he needed to observe the situation ahead, Mu Xi grabbed the vines hanging from the big tree and climbed to the top of the tree in two or three steps.
When there were the most mosquitoes during the day and night, Mu Xi asked to go out for five minutes. When he came back, he held some mosquito repellent herbs in his hand.
…
When they were almost near the mine, the captain put his hand on Mu Xi's shoulder and said, "Brother, after this mission, you must join us!"
It’s so reliable. We only need to bring one person on this mission!
Reconnaissance, logistics, and medical care are all handled by him alone. Even if his combat effectiveness is a little lacking, he is still a rare talent!
Before Mu Xi could answer, a man suddenly appeared in the mine not far away.
The captain made a gesture, and the team hiding in the dense forest lay on the ground.
Two or three patrolmen with rifles in their hands were walking back and forth at the edge of the mine in the distance.
As long as they get out of the forest and go forward, the area near the mine is all open space. If they want to take action, they can only wait until night.
The captain divided the team into three small teams. Their number was not large, with only three to four people in each team, who reported the situations they observed from different locations.
This combat meeting lasted so long, it definitely could not have been held just for their small team of ten people. They were only a part of this battle, and the main force had already entered the town of the reactionary organization.
Only in this way can we defeat them one by one and cut off the enemy's support.
Nightfall.
The people lurking in the dense forest were like black cats walking in the dark night, approaching the mine pit silently.
He took advantage of the situation by sneaking behind them and quietly eliminated several patrol officers in the dark.
There is a small house next to the mine, which should be a place for miners or managers to rest.
The house is on the second floor and is about 60 to 70 square meters.
The light was poor at this hour and no one was working in the mine.
In fact, according to the observations of several people, there were not many people inside even during the day, estimated to be only 20 to 30 people, and the number of machines started was also limited. This must be due to insufficient resources.
The sound of conversation in the bungalow was tinged with alcohol.
A drunken man, speaking in a slurred voice, shouted angrily, "We have confirmed that we already have the mine! When will the people from the divine punishment bring the supplies?"
"Shhhh! Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, there are people in the room inside."
"What are you afraid of? They are cowards who can't even drink two sips of wine. With just my bottle of white wine, they would have fallen asleep like dead pigs."
"Then you should keep your voice down, it would be bad if someone hears you."
The man said with disdain: "You...you are also a coward!"
…
The drinkers were on the first floor, and from listening to the conversation inside, they guessed that the miners who were resting were on the second floor.
There was no one working in the mine anymore and those patrolling around were killed silently. The team gathered around the bungalow, waiting for the captain's order.
The captain glanced at the time, listened to the drunken shouting in the room, and gestured to wait.
Ten minutes later, as expected, voices were heard from inside. It was the person who was still somewhat sober, saying to the one who was already drunk: "Alright, alright, go to bed early. You have to get up at dawn tomorrow. The superiors will come to inspect the work."
After saying that, he ignored the person who was still cursing, got up and went out to take care of his personal hygiene and go to bed.
The team had already seen a water tank not far away before coming over. They must have believed that the tap water system set up in the house before the ground cracked had broken, so now they could only draw water into the water tank for washing.
But as soon as the man went out, he caught a glimpse of a shadow in the corner of the wall. Before he could finish shouting, someone covered his mouth and nose and dragged him away.
The captain put the black muzzle of his gun against his temple and, after some friendly questioning, learned from the man the number of people left in the room and their weapons and equipment.
"Xiao Zhou, you stay here and keep an eye on him. The rest of you, follow me in. If there is anything different from what he said, I'll give a signal and you kill him immediately."
The hostage shuddered. The captain smiled and asked again, "I'll give you another chance. Do you remember anything you didn't say, or anything you said wrong just now?"
…
After obtaining the correct intelligence, more than a dozen well-armed team members rushed in and captured all the half-drunk and half-asleep members of the reactionary organization.
After tying everyone up and locking them in a small room, the captain went out and started contacting his superiors using a special communication device.
Even though the mission was successful, the team did not completely lower their vigilance. Three people were sent out from the team to patrol the surrounding area to prevent any undetected fish from escaping the net and shooting them from behind.
But the black gun did not arrive, but a bomb from an extreme reactionary arrived.
