"Over 200 people, there are around 140 men and over 100 women."
"You guys live on the mountain?" Zhang Xiaoqiang was surprised, the small mountain looked very ordinary, and there were no buildings on it.
"We live behind the mountain, as long as we climb over the mountain, we will be able to reach it. If we were to take the road, we would have to take a long detour, there should be sentries up there, they saw your convoy, that's why Chief Liu brought us to kidnap you."
Li Zhu answered everything, he was very cooperative, he even took the initiative to tell Zhang Xiaoqiang where the hidden sentries were.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not know if the people up there were prepared, he let three people watch over the captives, while he led 12 people to climb the mountain in the dark.
The mountain slope was considered flat, Zhang Xiaoqiang and his subordinates did not have much difficulty climbing. They climbed very carefully, when they met with shrubs blocking the way, they would rather go around than go through it, afraid that the sound of their bodies moving the shrubs would be heard by the people up there.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's physique was the best, he climbed at the front, he quietly and quickly moved, leaving the people behind him far behind, the rocks and shrubs were all left behind by him, he was constantly paying attention to any movement around him. Although Li Zhu had already pointed out the hidden sentries' hiding spots, he did not dare to be careless, he did not trust Li Zhu, he would rather be more careful. Today's losses were too big, he did not know how to explain it to the people at the base.
There was no moonlight tonight, the mountain slope was completely dark, the arrival of the apocalypse had caused all sorts of changes to the flora and fauna, the plants started to wither, the animals started to mutate, even the insects that liked to make noises at night did not move. The surroundings were very quiet, Zhang Xiaoqiang could not hear a single sound, he could only hear his own slightly hurried breathing.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped listening, the surroundings were still quiet, there were no movements from the top of the mountain, he raised his head and carefully sniffed the air, that's right, there was a smell of cigarette smoke in the air, as a heavy smoker, Zhang Xiaoqiang was very familiar with this smell, someone was smoking nearby, and not far from him.
He climbed up more carefully, slowly approaching the top of the mountain, a figure stood at the top of the mountain looking around. It was currently 5 am, the sky was still dark, Zhang Xiaoqiang could not see the person's appearance or clothing, but Zhang Xiaoqiang was sure that the person smoking was not him, there was no fiery red cigarette in his hand or mouth.
He slowly looked at the surrounding terrain, trying to find the person who was hiding and smoking, it was a hidden sentry, Li Zhu's information was wrong, he said that the hidden sentry was at the top of the mountain, slightly further back, he could see the obvious sentry, if the hidden sentry was really at the position he said, the smell of that person's cigarette smoke would definitely not spread so far.
This was the top of the mountain, the mountain wind was stronger than the flat ground, looking at the obvious sentry in front of him, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not dare to move, although he could kill him, what would happen after that?
Zhang Xiaoqiang carefully crept up, wasn't it to catch Boss Liu unprepared?
Just as he was carefully searching, a slightly hoarse voice said: "Hey!
Did you see how many of them came back …. "
The voice came from beside Zhang Xiaoqiang, the sudden voice caused Zhang Xiaoqiang to jump in shock, he could not help but shrink his neck and lower his body.
Beside Zhang Xiaoqiang was a mountain rock half the height of a person, the foot of the mountain rock was buried in the ground, Zhang Xiaoqiang was leaning against the mountain rock, looking around, the voice came from behind the mountain rock, which meant that the distance between Zhang Xiaoqiang and the hidden sentry was less than a meter.
"I didn't see it clearly either, in any case, there were more than a hundred people that went out, but only a dozen or so came back. Oh right, I also saw a man who was knocked unconscious being carried down, seems like he's not from our side?
If one of our people fainted, Boss Liu would just stab him. "The obvious sentry stopped looking around and started chatting with the hidden sentry.
"It should be the people over there, I don't know where they came from, but they're ruthless, they killed more than a hundred of our people, luckily it's our turn to be sentries, if not, hehe … .our little lives would be gone." The hidden sentry seemed to be happy that he did not go up, his tone had a hint of schadenfreude.
"Yeah, I can hear the gunshots from here. It sounds like it's midnight on New Year's. It doesn't stop at all. The bullets on the hillside are like raindrops. Looking at those bullets with a trail of light makes me dizzy. Oh right, did you hear the cannons over there?" The scout in the open had completely forgotten about his mission and started chatting with the scout in the dark.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not continue to listen, he slowly went around the two of them and headed towards the hidden sentry that Li Zhu mentioned. Behind him, he could faintly hear the words' artillery 'and' army '.
Once he passed the top of the mountain, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw that the foot of the mountain was brightly lit, piles of supplies were burning on the empty ground at the foot of the mountain, women and men were continuously moving things into the trucks. Beside the fire was a row of simple houses, with a thick log erected at the side, and on top of it was a naked man. Zhang Xiaoqiang took a look, it was not Guo Fei, seems like he was not the mysterious man's opponent.
In front of him was a pile of rocks, on top of it was a mess of branches and leaves. Zhang Xiaoqiang slowly moved towards the pile of rocks, pulled out his police dagger and crawled in.
The space inside the pile of rocks was very narrow, it could only fit two people inside, it was pitch black and could not be seen. Zhang Xiaoqiang slowly crawled towards the pile of rocks, the dagger in his hand was ready to stab at any time. A snoring sound came out from inside, Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped moving, he squinted his eyes and slowly adapted to the darkness inside, a dark figure was curled up in a ball of sleep, snoring continuously coming out from his mouth.
Zhang Xiaoqiang placed the dagger on the man's neck and pushed him, but the man was still sleeping and did not have any reaction. Zhang Xiaoqiang took out his belt and tied his hands behind his back, then took down the corner of his shirt and stuffed it into his mouth. Even after Zhang Xiaoqiang tied him up like a dumpling, the man was still sleeping soundly, his snoring was no longer loud, he was breathing heavily through his nose.
There were still two left, Zhang Xiaoqiang continued to sneak towards the other side of the hidden sentry, when he reached there, he saw his own team members aiming their guns at him, the two hidden sentry were tied up and kneeling on the ground, something was stuffed into their mouths.
The foot of the mountain was in chaos, people were like a group of headless flies running around the raging fire, a man carrying a box was knocked down by a leather bag, the wooden box fell apart, half a jin of salt was scattered everywhere.
Before he could get up, a long knife that was illuminated by the fire cut his head in half, the split head was still connected to his neck, the two halves of the head continuously spurted out bright red blood, the fresh blood washed out his white brain matter, splattering everywhere.
"Plop …" The blood spurting corpse fell onto the salt on the ground, under the illumination of the fire, the dark red blood slowly formed a pool of blood, covering the scattered salt on the ground.
