Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 53: Between life and death
Unlike Lin Shuo and the others, He Zihong got up very late this morning.
After yesterday’s conversation, the chief scientist of the International Society for Biological Research has actually gone from being the leader of the hooked snake project to being a consultant.
His student Yang Tuo will lead this project in the future.
Yang Tuo is thirty-three years old this year, and he is very young in the field of science.
He Zihong was his mentor during his study in the United States. He Zihong knew the talent of this young man best and brought him to the International Society for Biological Research early on.
Yang Tuo decided to return to China when he was 30 years old. He Zihong understood his willingness to serve the country and reluctantly let him go.
As a result, in less than three years, a certain genetic project led by Yang Tuo in China has been a great success and has a very broad application prospects in medicine. He himself will soon become the youngest academician in the history of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. .
For China, a developing country, such talents can be called a four-character comment:
Guoshi Wushuang.
He Zihong knows very well that if Yang Tuo is allowed to lead the hook snake project, there is absolutely no problem with his ability. The academic level of this proud student has actually faintly surpassed himself. And this project was actually developed independently from the International Society for Biological Research into a joint development with China.
As an international organization, the International Society for Biological Research has always been struggling with funding, and now China's national strength is booming. He Zihong believes that his choice is still very wise.
He Zihong’s own research focus will shift from the hook snake project to the entire ecosystem of the current huge underground cave.
The application prospect of this project is unclear, and the research work is more cumbersome. At He Zihong's age, in addition to the initial sensational effect, there may not be any significant achievements in his lifetime.
But He Zihong has never done scientific research all his life.
He enjoys the joy of discovery even more.
He Zihong got up this morning after Lin Shuo and the others set off.
The 30-kilometer hike last night caused the old man's physical strength to be greatly overdrawn.
He was suffering from insomnia in Europe before, and as a result, he slept very well last night. When he opened his eyes, he found that Yang Tuo and the others had already left.
Before Yang Tuo left, he set up a portable workbench for He Zihong and placed it at the entrance of the hole.
The various small instruments on the workbench are placed in a convenient position for He Zihong, with a letter on it.
He Zihong quickly opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.
There is only one sentence in the letter:
"If I cannot survive, please ask the teacher to report the results of Mr. Lin's investigation to the Chinese side for me."
He Zihong felt uncomfortable after reading the letter.
"You child, you are both clever and stupid!" He Zihong sighed with red eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew that Yang Tuo was not here to hook a snake. Such a promising young scientist, in order to determine the whereabouts of the seventy-three missing Chinese citizens, would actually be so careless about his own life.
This makes He Zihong both regretful and faintly admired.
"Professor He, look at it!"
At this moment, He Zihong heard Liu Qing's cry.
He Zihong turned his head and found Liu Qing was pointing at the mountain outside the cave, his face was very ugly.
He quickly turned to the mountain outside the cave, his face turned pale in an instant.
This mountain is covered by tall ferns, but the effect of this covering is not as good as the Waixinganling on the ground.
The virgin forest of the outer Xing'an Mountains is a sea of woods from above, and the situation inside the forest is invisible.
The ferns here are sparsely divided, so you can vaguely see the situation in the forest.
At this time, Lin Shuo and Anne are already far in front and can't see them anymore.
Yang Tuo and Wei Xingshan had just crossed the river and entered the fern jungle only two to three hundred meters.
The current horizontal position of these two people is exactly the same as the height of the hole where He Zihong is, and they can be seen by a head-up view.
Currently these two people are running back frantically!
Just around them, a large green object is constantly moving closer to them from all directions!
These things are hidden by ferns and are far away. He Zihong can't see exactly what they are, but the number of them is extremely astonishing, like the tide, they rush towards Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo.
As soon as He Zihong saw this scene, his thoughts were lost all at once.
It's over!
"Firepower support!" Just listened to Liu Qing's soft drink.
The other twelve mercenaries raised their guns with a "swish".
"Clear the road for Team Wei!" Liu Qing immediately issued a second order.
"DaDaDaDaDa!"
The twelve assault rifles were all switched to burst mode, and the guns* burst into flames.
At this time, Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo were running from the mountain to the river.
The green "tide" surrounded them from all directions.
Obviously, this thing was afraid of water and did not enter Hanoi. Instead, it stuck to the edge of the fern forest, cutting off Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo's retreat at the same time from both sides.
However, compared with the number of mountains and plains in other places, the thickness of the encircling circle of this thing is relatively weak on the retreat route of Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo.
So Liu Qing's order to clear the road is very clear.
In the continuous spit of the muzzle flame, green sap bursts out from the edge of the fern forest.
……
Wei Xingshan has never run so fast in his life!
When he heard Anne's call on the walkie-talkie, he didn't hesitate for half a second. Without saying anything, he picked up Yang Tuo on his shoulders, and ran back!
Whether Lin Shuo and Anne can live or not, he doesn't care now.
But Yang Tuo next to him, he patted his chest in front of He Zihong last night, he must not die!
After carrying Yang Tuo for an anaerobic sprint of about two hundred meters, Wei Xingshan's body load has reached its limit.
Almost every muscle in his body is alarming him with severe soreness.
Although the scholar on his shoulders is much thinner than Wei Xingshan, he is also a man of over 120 kilograms.
Fortunately, he is now descending the mountain, and the inertia after the sprint has formed. As long as he pays attention to the landing point of each step under his feet, the speed can still be maintained.
He doesn't know what he is facing, but he can let Anne shout in that hoarse voice, this time it is definitely not a small trouble!
Soon, he heard the gunshots from the other side.
He saw in the entrance of the cave, his comrades were shooting frantically.
The bullet's landing point is right in front of him.
Wei Xingshan soon realized that it was his comrades who were clearing the way for themselves.
He turned his head as he ran, and finally saw what it was.
That's countless giant emerald ants!
The height of each ant is about half a meter, just like a small tank!
They walked through the fern jungle, moving fast, and one of them ran the fastest, only five meters away from Wei Xing Mountain.
Then the ant's wings suddenly opened, and it rushed towards Wei Xingshan!
Wei Xingshan held Yang Tuo's back with one hand to prevent him from falling, only his left hand raised the assault rifle and gave the ant a shuttle!
The green juice burst, and the giant ant was dead before it hit the ground.
However, he hurriedly fired an assault rifle with one hand. The recoil caused Wei Xingshan to stagger and almost fell. He staggered and adjusted his steps, finally stabilized his body, turned his head and saw that another giant ant was in mid-air. , I'm almost sticking to my own face!
Wei Xingshan's blood is cold!
"Bah!" There was a gunshot, and the ant was blown to the head.
Yang Tuo lay on Wei Xingshan's shoulder, put down the pistol in his hand, and pinched the gunman's wrist with his other hand.
Yang Tuo’s self-rescue with a shot can be said to be quick and ruthless, but after all, he is a scholar, and his strong psychological quality can't make up for the strangeness of his technique.
Just now, he was carried face down by Wei Xingshan, and he shot in an improper posture in a hurry. With this shot, his wrist was already sprained.
"Awesome!"
Wei Xingshan boasted, and while saying that he removed Yang Tuo, then grabbed his ankle with both hands, turned around on the spot, and then threw it forward, shouting: "Go!"
Yang Tuo only felt dizzy in his brain. When he woke up again, he had fallen into the water.
It turned out that Wei Xingshan had already ran to the river.
After that, Yang Tuo saw that Wei Xingshan himself had come into the water in a diving style, and a fierce son plunged into the water, and the appearance of his head had reached his side.
Wei Xingshan grabbed Yang Tuo's back collar, flopped twice, and quickly climbed onto the shore.
He heard the "buzzing" sound coming from behind, and he realized that the river couldn't trap those guys.
Because he saw just now, this giant ant can at least fly short distances.
Just crossing the river is not enough to ensure safety!
But the series of actions just now made him lose his strength, and he wanted to carry Yang Tuo to run again, it was impossible.
At this terrible moment, the gunshots of the opposing comrades began to become sparse.
The mercenary squad on this trip was not equipped with a machine gun. Although the assault rifle in his hand was powerful enough, the bullet capacity of each magazine was only 30 rounds.
At this moment, Wei Xingshan's eyes were red. He pushed hard Yang Tuo, who had just stood firm, and roared: "Run!!!"
Then he turned his head and picked up the assault rifle slung on his body.
The sight in front of him made his pupils dilate rapidly, and the adrenaline in his body surged!
On the river, dozens of giant ants flicked their wings and flew buzzingly.
The closest one is less than three meters away from yourself!
Too many!
This is out of sight!
Killing one to death is one!
Wei Xingshan was about to trigger the rifle, but he heard the gunshots violently again behind him.
And in front of him, those green sap bursts!
The comrades in the hole behind them~IndoMTL.com~After a short reloading action, the firepower resumed!
Wei Xingshan is not stupid, he turned around and ran right away!
The entrance of the cave is more than a hundred meters away from here.
This one hundred meters is the distance between life and death.
Wei Xingshan's brain is completely blank. He forgot how he ran below the entrance of the cave, and then climbed the cliff with Yang Tuo on his back.
These actions are all done subconsciously, they are muscle memories that have been tempered in the team before.
After crawling into the hole, he put Yang Tuo down, then lay on his back on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes turned black for a while.
Yang Tuo sits up next to him, with gratitude in his eyes, and pats him on the shoulder again.
The comrades around him were still shooting frantically, and many of them roared.
As an experienced battlefield commander, Wei Xingshan immediately realized the problem.
Although he and Yang Tuo are temporarily out of danger, but if this continues, the amount of ammunition carried by the team will not last long.
You have to find something to plug the hole!
But soon, he realized that it was inappropriate.
Because Lin Shuo and Anne are still outside.
Once the hole is blocked, the two of them have no way out!
