In the evening.
The exploration team's derrick was set up and the sound of drilling was so loud that Gu Nanzhi couldn't even hear the voice on the walkie-talkie. In desperation, the group could only choose to return to the base with the exploration personnel from the exchange shift, which was where the indigenous people of Eguascan had lived before.
Dozens of thatched houses stand in the shade of the rainforest.
The thatched cottage where Gu Nanzhi and Xie Zhenting lived was right in the middle.
Cai Qing, Miao Yue and others were outside the thatched hut, ready for battle at any time. Xie Zhenting, who entered the thatched hut for the first time, looked at the simple environment in the hut and frowned slightly.
This environment is a world away from his home in Shanxia Town. I don’t know how this woman can live here!
"Go to sleep!"
Xie Zhenting looked at Gu Nanzhi, who had a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry! We won't fight with them. There won't be a fight tonight!"
The strategic depth of Mount Ecuador is long, and it takes time for their people to reach the edge. Even if they have locked the enemy's position, they need to reorganize the army and rest before they can start to attract the enemy!
Otherwise, if a tired army goes to meet the enemy, it will not only lead the enemy deep into our territory, but will also lead to their heads being delivered to them!
Gu Nanzhi heard this, his face still looked solemn: "Are our people in place?"
"Um!"
Xie Zhenting nodded: "The back mountain location with the longest depth, our people will be in place in the second half of the night! They will also have three hours of rest time. At dawn, we will launch a collective surprise attack on them, and then... lead them into the mountain!"
The real battle...
It will start tomorrow!
Lure the enemy deep into our territory, but it is not without risks. If we are not careful, the whole team will be wiped out!
But……
Compared to a real war, proper use of tactics can minimize casualties!
Xie Zhenting has been on the battlefield for a long time and is accustomed to the bloody storms on the battlefield, but Gu Nanzhi is not...
Thinking of the elite soldiers who followed her out of Xia Country, now lurking in the mountains and forests, and about to take the risk of leading the enemy deep into the mountains tomorrow, she couldn't help but feel anxious...
"Xie Zhenting, someone will die, right?"
Gu Nanzhi's muffled voice came.
Xie Zhenting turned his head to look at her, stepped forward, and put his arm around her shoulders: "War is cruel, but I will try my best to reduce casualties!"
Listening to Xie Zhenting's strong heartbeat, Gu Nanzhi's heart gradually calmed down.
"I believe in you! I believe you can let me take them home!"
At this point, Gu Nanzhi paused and said, "Even if they are missing limbs, as long as they are alive... Xie Zhenting, I want to bring them home alive!"
When she came out, she didn't know Xie Zhenting was here!
I didn’t know that Xie Zhenting was the Dalong who dominated the rainforest!
Not only everyone in the exploration team, but even herself, had no chance of returning alive!
However, the appearance of Xie Zhenting gave her infinite hope...
She doesn't want to see casualties!
I don't want to see the people I brought with me die in a foreign land...
She thought, take them home!
Hearing this, Xie Zhenting lowered his eyes to glance at the woman in his arms, frowning tightly: "I'll try my best!"
Wars without injuries rarely happen on the battlefield!
Because on the battlefield, there are surprises everywhere!
No matter how careful the tactical arrangements are, it is difficult to ensure that they will be foolproof!
Gu Nanzhi responded softly.
Xie Zhenting let her go.
"You go to sleep first. I'll go out and patrol the surroundings, and then confirm the final deployment with Nan Wenyuan and the others!"
Gu Nanzhi looked up at him: "Okay!"
Eyes met.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp.
Gu Nanzhi's little face looked more weathered than when she was in Shanxia Town.
A trace of heartache flashed across Xie Zhenting's eyes. He raised his hand to rub the hair on her head, then turned and left.
The rainforest has a hot and humid climate, and the conditions are harsh. Not to mention a delicate little girl like her, even for a grown man like him, he suffered a lot when he first came here!
Thinking of his wife's skin as white as cream when she was in Shanxia Town, Xie Zhenting took a deep breath after leaving the thatched hut.
He can’t let his wife stay in the rainforest for long!
This is a terrible place and not suitable for his wife!
He had to quickly sweep through the war zone. Only in this way could his wife's idea of completely controlling the war zone through transactions be implemented, and his wife's exploration mission could be successfully completed!
If he completes the mission and finds the raw materials needed by Xia Country, his wife won’t have to suffer in the rainforest anymore and can return home!
Thinking of this, Xie Zhenting ignored Cai Qing's shouts and quickly disappeared into the night.
Patrolling around the tribe, patrolling the valley and the exploration team's base, and ensuring the safety of the exploration team is what Xie Zhenting must do every night, but this time...
After he finished his inspection, he did not return to the tribe hut immediately, but stopped under an old tree outside...
The moon is rarely seen in the rainforest.
Even the moonlight was obscured by the tall trees.
But he still saw insects crawling under the thick fallen leaves through the mottled light...
This is the rain forest!
The rainforest is full of dangers!
Xie Zhenting raised his foot and crushed the insects crawling under the fallen leaves, then took out his pager.
After briefly confirming the marching progress with Ah Hu and Nan Wenyuan, Xie Zhenting immediately switched the communication frequency band and said in a deep voice: "Transport all the remaining shells except those at the designated locations to the tribal station! Complete the mission before dawn!"
"yes!"
A soldier's deep voice responded from the intercom.
This night.
Xie Zhenting did not sleep all night.
Before dawn, the shells were transported to the tribe and lined up outside Gu Nanzhi's thatched cottage according to Xie Zhenting's order.
At that time...
After a busy day, Gu Nanzhi was sleeping uneasily on the simple bed in the thatched hut.
at the same time.
At the foot of a mountain somewhere a hundred miles away.
Two men in rainforest combat uniforms met quietly.
"Our communication signal is cut off!"
"This is Mount Egua, the legendary cursed land. It's normal for the signal to be cut off here!"
"What about our plan to besiege Mount Egua? If we can't contact the people sent by other forces in time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take action!"
“No matter how difficult it is, we must execute the plan!”
The man with a genuine American accent said in a deep voice: "Don't you want to avenge Gerns? Have you forgotten what the intelligence we got said? The woman who led the Xia exploration team is very likely to be a newly discovered scientist in Xia!"
"What does a great scientist mean? It means that she may lead Xiaguo's science to take a big step forward! Now that she has arrived in the rain forest, she is heading straight to the Eguasque Mountains. Doesn't this prove the point?"
"There must be something she wants on the Egua Mountain! And no matter what it is, it must be ours!"
"Not only the things in Mount Egua, but the entire rain forest must belong to us. No one can dare to get involved, not even Xia Country or the Dalong Mercenary Group!"
"The rare resources of the rainforest must be firmly in our hands. Only in this way can we have endless wealth, our country can always be invincible, and we can trample the Xia Kingdom under our feet and make them our slaves forever!"
