Chapter 140: Broken rivers and rocks are like fighting, walking around in a row (Part 1)
Not long after my 20th birthday, I went abroad for the first time in my life. But I did not go through customs clearance procedures, nor did I have a passport, and I didn’t even have a single thing to prove my identity. I entered the country illegally and arrived at the border of a country in Central and Western Asia.
The helicopter flew very low, almost rubbing against rocks and sparse treetops, using the terrain to fly ultra-low altitude to avoid radar detection. Looking out on the plane, it felt like the vastness and desolation of the eyes. I saw the prairie for the first time and the desert for the first time. I was very surprised to find that the division between yellow and green in the air was so obvious, and the flowing sand dunes were moving forward to the boundary of the oasis. After leaving the border, I flew along the roots of a mountain range. On the left are rolling gray-white mountains, and on the right are a desolate Gobi.
There is no exoticism, and there is not even a tourist at all. I grew up in the mountainous area, but the mountains here are very different from the famous mountains and rivers in Jiangnan, China. The rocks are steep and weird, with obvious wind erosion, and the vegetation is very sparse, and most of them are shrubs and almost no big tree. The infrared absorption suit I gave was not a yellow-green camouflage color, but a gray-white and mottled camouflage color, which is more suitable for concealment in this landform environment.
For the good time, I was placed at the scheduled reception location with my equipment. I was the only one, and the other five had not yet met with me. My task was to provide logistics support. I had to wait for the five of them to successfully operate in this place and then evacuate to the temporary camp, replenish supplies, and then follow the scheduled route to the place where the helicopter picked us up.
It is normal to send six team members who have a tacit understanding of each other to act at the same time, but why is it our group? This is related to specialties. Our group has at least two thief-level figures, the Ghost Spirit. The task content is to regain a stolen document, and it is OK to steal it back if it cannot be regained. The stolen document is a long story, and even I am involved in it. It is a list.
The training camp I participated in deep Qinling Mountains has been held for five sessions so far. I participated in the second session. All 108 people in our one-year-old training camp were male. However, there were many girls in our third session, one of which was an 18-year-old girl. The lily was very beautiful. It is said that one of her specialties is "stylish art". Of course, the registration is written with the inappropriate word "psychological confusion". She also has a special feature, which is to make her opponent unconscious without touching the body. This is probably similar to the means of a practitioner.
The rating she received in the end was a, which was quite rare. My rating was only b, and there was only one person in our group who got a. Of course, I hid my true strength at that time, and my cultivation was still weak at that time. Lily was a rare talent, and she was smart and proficient in connections. After she came out of the training camp, she was directly transferred to the headquarters of our institution.
The reason why she was able to get to the most confidential senior management of this institution was that her origins were investigated, and she was very innocent and had little doubts. However, the kernel staff did not think of another thing. What is important to practitioners is not just secular origin, but the origin of teachers is the key. However, the kernel staff at the headquarters were not from the practice field like Director Gu, but still examined personnel according to traditional political review methods. As a result, no one expected that Lily was a "spy". However, I later realized this and did not remind other people.
Lily steals information and originally wanted to copy one silently, so it would be difficult to find it. But unfortunately, she was knocked out when she stole the list, so she simply made the person faint and took away the original information. What is that list? It is the distribution of all institutions in our organization across the country and the contact map of the lurking personnel. For example, Wucheng, there is my Shi Ye's name, code name, contact information, real identity, etc. Such a list is very sensitive. Many people are unwilling to reveal their identity, especially practitioners who are not willing to let others know that they are the "secret" of government agencies.
If the list falls into the hands of organizations with ulterior motives, it may become a means of threatening and manipulation. You should know that these people have special abilities and once they are used to do bad things, the consequences will be unimaginable. From the perspective of the government, you do not want this list to be leaked, and it is not suitable to make such secret actions in the country. At the same time, it is impossible for these civilian abilities to be a gentleman. Since they can work for the government, they may be bribed by others. Mastering this list is equivalent to mastering a huge and terrifying resource.
What's even more terrifying is that this list was taken abroad. Lily handed it over to a person named Fu Jie. According to investigation, Fu Jie was her "master". Originally, this kind of thing was not the turn of our institution to intervene, but the headquarter leaders made a decision for some consideration - to send their own people to get it back. It was very risky to do so. Although we are all supernatural people, many of them were still in a hurry to train, such as me. But the headquarter leaders first considered not the safety of the team members, but their own status and the interests of the institution.
Fu Jie claimed to be Fu Yinyu, a man from Huzhou, Zhejiang. He was 42 years old this year, and when he was 18 years old, he ran away from home and was unknown. This is all the information about our opponents, and there is no more records. I guess he must be a practitioner, and the word "Yinyu" must be a name like Dharma name. But within the scope of my knowledge, I have never heard of this number in the world of practice.
The temporary camp I am hiding now is the location chosen by Lao Gai, who was born in a sniper. It is about 1,500 meters away from the mountains on the east side, and is surrounded by huge rocks. From all directions around, there are dead corners for shooting and also places where the jumpers cannot reach. The surrounding terrain is relatively wide and it is difficult to approach hidden from the front, and small bomb droppers cannot make grenades. If you want to attack, it is difficult to attack, unless you adjust the heavy artillery to bomb. There are several rolling hills on the east side of the camp, and intermittent gullies, which are just the way to evacuate into the mountains. The location where helium directly responds to must cross a mountain pass in the valley on the other side.
It is impossible to bring too much equipment, not even dry food, and limited ammunition. All supplies and supplies that may be used are left in this temporary camp. One person is needed to be stationed in this camp. If they are found, there are pursuers during evacuation, I will be responsible for supporting and covering. My specialty is self-protection and my ability to night vision is particularly strong, so I was sent to guard the camp and prepared for rescue personnel when a melee or when a group is trapped. One reason why I did not participate in the direct operation was also because of the language barrier. The eldest son and Lao Gai in our group were from professional soldiers, and later they specially trained in Russian and Arabic.
Fu Jie hid in the place where he was an abandoned ancient city ruins in the Gobi Desert. It is said that this is a secret stronghold. Fu Jie imitated the training camp mode of our institution and was also training special operations personnel. That place might have been very prosperous a thousand years ago, but now it is probably only experts from archaeological exploration and thieves who are fighting against gold will occasionally visit. The invasion operation starts at 2:30 in the morning, and the evacuation and convergence time will be before 5:30 in the morning. Although I am a little worried, I think with the skills of the five of them, it should be no problem to steal a piece of things. The robbery is also robbed, as long as the opponent is not a regular army. Of course, in addition to stealing things, there is another requirement for the mission - it is best to find Fu Jie himself and ask if this list has been circulated and who it has been given. If it really doesn't work, kill people to silence him. It sounds cruel but it is also very realistic.
The night in the Gobi Desert is desolate, and even the stars in the sky are shining with a dazzling cold light. A thin moon is in the sky, without wind or clouds, but the air is extremely cold! He listened vigilantly to the movements around him, and at the same time, he looked at the stars and moons in the sky boredly, and suddenly found a faint circular halo gradually appearing around the moon. The halo became more and more obvious. About a quarter of an hour, the halo around the moon almost turned into a very bright halo, but the outline of the moon itself was blurred like a hook. When I looked at the sky, I didn't know that a violent wind and sand were sweeping over it.
When the wind started to blow, I vaguely heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping from afar. After just a moment, the wind suddenly became much louder, and the sound of small animals running around came from all around. In fact, it was not the small animals running around, but the scattered stones rolling around. Gradually, the sound was not rolling, but running and hitting!
An ancient poem outside the frontier said: "A river of gravel is as big as a bucket, and the wind blows all over the ground and walks around." This is by no means an exaggeration. Only when you are in the scene do you know what kind of scene it is? The wind and sand covering the sky block the view, and you can't see and hear anything around you. I don't know which direction the wind comes from, because there are whistling sounds in the gaps between rocks on all sides. There is a little ignition in the dark, which is the flying gravel hitting the rocks. Some people read news reports that the glass of trains in the northwest was shattered by sand and dust. The strong winds can even derail the train, and they may not believe it. But the wind and sand I experienced must have such power. Fortunately, I was hiding in a very good place, otherwise people would be swept away.
I began to worry about the other five companions. Can they evacuate in such wind and sand? However, wind and sand are fair and will also affect the opponent. Lao Gai and the others still evacuated, but they were late and the mission failed.
The final time of the meeting was agreed to be 5:30 in the morning, but due to the sand and dust, the radio communication was interrupted, so I could not contact anyone and could only wait in place. At about six o'clock, the wind and sand gradually became smaller, but it did not stop. I heard a vague rhythmic sound from afar. It was not the rolling stones, but the footsteps of people. There were four people in total. One of them had a slightly heavier footsteps and a smaller stride, so he should have been carrying a person on his back.
I quickly held the assault rifle in my hand and shouted: "Bai He!"
A voice came from afar: "There are thorns!"
I was surprised to hear this. There is a problem with the password I answered. If the answer is "beautiful", it means that the task is successful. If the answer is "flower blossoms", it means that the task is successful but there are pursuers exposed. If the answer is "flower blossoms", it means that the task is safely withdrawn but the task is not completed. "Thorns" is the worst case - there are pursuers after the task fails!
Everyone was cheated, but except for Gan Jiang, everyone else suffered minor injuries, mostly scratched by rocks in the storm. Gan Jiang was very unlucky. He had a fracture in his calf and was penetrated by a 7.62-caliber rifle bullet. After urgent bandaging and stopping the bleeding, Xiaoxiao carried it back.
Their failure of this operation was very cowardly, and they were discovered almost as soon as they entered the ruins of the ancient city. Then they were surrounded in an abandoned temple. There were many people on the other side, using Soviet weapons, and they were obviously well-trained.
These five people were already trapped in the trap and died without death. Fortunately, the team had the Lord and the Ghost Spirit. During the gun battle, the Ghost Spirit discovered that the ancient temple had an underground mechanism. But this mechanism was very strange and could only be opened from it. Without having time to find other opening portals, the Ghost Spirit drilled into a gap with only a collapsed bowl mouth, entered an underground secret room, and opened the mechanism according to the guidance of the Ghost Spirit. A tunnel appeared behind the shrine and entered a deep underground corridor. At the end of the corridor was a secret temple, and the underground rooms on both sides of the temple were actually two ancient tombs.
Originally, this was a dead end, but I don’t know which era tomb robbers saved them. There was a robber in the tomb chamber on the left, which was directly opened at the bottom of the tomb and was discovered by the ghost spirit. According to the ghost spirit, it was a job done by a master. The hole was very beautiful and there was almost no waste of effort. The hole entrance was slightly wider than the shoulders, and there was a faint cold wind coming - at least it was still open and had not completely collapsed.
The ghost spirit opened the way in front. After a small pad, five people drilled into the thief hole in a row. After a distance of about 800 meters, they actually drilled out behind a small earth bundle outside the wreckage of the ancient city wall. The opening of the thief hole was originally hidden, but it collapsed and exposed in a long time. It was said that they had already left the city safely, but they were immediately discovered. Exposing to the gun in the Gobi Desert without hidden conditions was like waiting for death. Fortunately, a large dust temporarily blocked the pursuit.
