to blame

At dusk, the convoy stopped.

This westward mountain road comes to an end here.The mountains ahead are densely forested, with tall trees covering the sky and sun, shrubs and rocks intertwined under the trees, making it difficult for even wild animals to pass through.

The convoy stopped to rest, and Nanjiang arranged for members of the second and sixth teams to patrol nearby in turn, while the rest rested in place.Xie Rong came to negotiate with Nanjiang on behalf of the club team, and wanted to participate in patrol and night watch tasks, but was rejected by Nanjiang.Xie Rong was not convinced and asked Nan Jiang to give him a reason.

Seeing that his team members had already assembled, Nan Jiang became a little impatient to wait for him alone, "You are non-professionals, these are not your tasks."

Xie Rong hurriedly said: "We are here to help, why can't we treat everyone equally?"

Nan Jiang looked directly into his eyes, and said word by word: "You want me to treat you as a qualified team member, so please obey the order. Here, all team members will not question the leader The command."

Xie Rong was dumbfounded.

Nan Jiang ignored him, turned around and caught up with the patrol team, and started patrolling along the edge of the forest.

Seeing Xie Rong standing there in embarrassment, Mr. Bi hesitated for a while, but still pretended not to see, and went to find Tao Sheng for dinner on his own.He is older than these young people, cherishes talents, and has a kind of love for them.However, Xie Rong repeatedly used the club's vest, which also made Bi Lao a little uncomfortable.

Xie Rong himself wanted to go on patrol with Nanjiang, so he insisted on pulling out the flag of the club—at the meeting before departure, several small leaders made it very clear: obey orders and don't act without authorization.

Doesn't Xie Rong know the importance of obeying orders during missions?But he just used the club as an excuse to get close to Nan Jiang.

Elder Bi took the lunch box Tao Sheng handed him, and couldn't help sighing.

Xie Rong was recommended to him by the head of their club, and he said a lot of good things, but Mr. Bi didn't care about his face, and felt that this was a strong labor, so that he would not drag everyone down, so he reluctantly agreed.As a result, there is no need to worry about being dragged down now, what he is worried about is that Xie Rong's mouse feces will ruin the club's soup.

Old Bi could see that this Xie Rong really came to Nanjiang.It's hard to say whether it's a lover, but he wants to know the trend of their trip through Nanjiang, and even participate in the decision-making, that's for sure.

Tu Qing put the meatballs in his lunch box into Lao Bi's lunch box, and coaxed him, "Don't worry about it. Eat quickly."

Tao Sheng also echoed, "That's right, what are you worried about? Nanjiang and the others already knew what you were worried about. Don't worry. Nanjiang also said that there is no secret in this mission, and there is no need to guard against him. Will not have any bad opinion of our club."

Elder Bi sighed again.

Tao Sheng winked, signaling Tu Qing to think of a way to persuade Mr. Bi.

Carrying the lunch box, Tu Qing approached Mr. Bi, and asked him in a low voice, "Mr. Bi, there is no road ahead. Should we wait for the engineers to help open the way?"

Old Bi glared at him, "Use your brain!"

The new question really diverted Bi Lao's attention away from Xie Rong. He held up his chopsticks as if he was holding up a pointer, "You two go out and have a look at the road we came from, and see what's going on on the road. Look at the surrounding environment again. What kind of environment is it in the front, back, left, and right... compare and think about it.”

Tu Qing and Tao Sheng looked at each other with a proud expression.Tao Sheng quietly gestured his thumbs at him.

Tu Qing pretended to stand up from the side of the road, stretched his neck and looked back, took one look, and couldn't help but take another look.Looking at the woods on both sides of the road and the woods at the end of the road when I came here, some vague thoughts flashed in my mind.

Tao Sheng followed him and stood up. Before that, he didn't pay much attention to the surrounding environment—it was just the wasteland with weeds, the woods, and the undulating mountains farther away.Looking at the same scenery for a long time will make people feel tired.

But at this moment, he was standing here, observing the surrounding environment carefully according to Elder Bi's reminder, only to find that there were differences in the scenery in several directions.

For example, although the road when we came here is also a dirt road, the road surface is relatively flat, there are not many weeds and gravel, and there are relatively clear wheel marks.It can be seen that this road is not deserted.The scenery on both sides of the road is similar, both are endless wasteland, covered with weeds, and there are patches of bushes growing in the leeward area.At the end of the wilderness are the majestic South and North Peaks.From time to time, herds of beasts can be seen passing through the wasteland.

But the forest in front of them was like a tropical rainforest, with dense vegetation. It was hard to imagine how difficult it would be to pass through such a dense forest.Especially since they don't know what dangers lurk in the jungle.

Tao Sheng whispered to Tu Qing, "The car can't even drive... I guess they should have some kind of secret weapon, such as the kind that burns the trees when the shells are fired, and then reveals a road."

"It can't be, it's too much damage to the environment." Tu Qing objected, "Although there is a problem with the magnetic field of Xishan, it may not be the case in all of them. Maybe this area is an area where airplanes can be used."

Old Bi shook his head and cursed, "It's just an elm head!"

Tu Qing, "..."

Tao Sheng, "..."

At the climax of the moon, all the teams had assembled, and four anti-riot vehicles lined up, waiting quietly in the middle of the mountain road.

Nan Jiang stood beside the first car, looking at his watch a little uneasy.The rest of the people didn't know why, but they all obeyed the order and waited in good order.

Xie Rong was anxious and wanted to get out of the car to ask Nanjiang, but was stopped by Bi Lao.

The old man, who has always been very generous to young people, had a straight face and said to him very solemnly: "Thank you boss, this trip to the West Mountain, the club borrowed your light, but you also took advantage of it. So we are not at odds." Owe."

Xie Rong hurriedly said: "Why did Mr. Bi say that, I am..."

Bi didn't pay attention to his excuse, "If this kind of thing happens next time, I, Bi, will quit the club, and I will never set foot where you are in the future."

Xie Rong glanced at the surprised or unexpected expressions of the people in the car, and pursed the corners of his mouth, "You speak too seriously."

If this word gets out, how will he gain a foothold among his peers?After all, these days are not war-torn times. If you don't deal with anyone, just start a fight.The times have changed, and today's Yaozu also pay attention to resource sharing and harmony to generate wealth.On the territory of Yaozhou, he is considered a respectable person anyway, and it is not just as simple as losing face to let others know that Bi Lao hates him so far.

Old Bi can be regarded as a highly respected figure in the demon world, and there are many students under his sect.When Xie Rong thought that a poor old man who opened a bookstore could have such a great influence, his face turned pale.But the most embarrassing thing for him was that when Mr. Bi said these words, no one jumped out to speak for him.

Well, no one is an idiot.

Xie Rong quickly restrained his emotions, and respectfully said to Elder Bi: "Don't worry, Elder Bi, I am also under the protection of the demon town, and I want to do my best when I come here, and I will never do anything to let everyone down." .”

Elder Bi looked at him for a moment, then nodded reluctantly, "Then observe discipline, obey orders, and make yourself like a real soldier."

Xie Rong quickly agreed and sat back to his original position, but when he looked up, he saw Tu Qingzheng staring at him without blinking.The anger and dissatisfaction in Xie Rong's heart suddenly seemed to find a vent, and he fired at Tu Qing, "What are you looking at?"

Tu Qing's eyes are relatively round, and he has a baby face. When he smiles, he is very innocent. "What I see is... loyal and unswerving."

The car was full of people, except for Bi Lao, who didn't understand what he meant.

Only Xie Rong, as if he had been stabbed, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Shut up." Elder Bi slapped Tu Qing across Tao Sheng, "It's time!"

"Time is up."

Nan Jiang jumped into the car, closed the door, and called the cars behind through the communication system in the car, ready to take action.

Ming Xia was a little nervous.Like everyone else, he had no idea what was going to happen next.In his previous prediction, he thought that there would be a secret passage in the dense forest.

Or his guess is not wrong, such a secret passage must wait for certain conditions before it can be revealed to others?

A cloud drifted past, blocking the disc-like bright moon, and the sky and the earth suddenly went dark.

Ming Xia leaned forward and looked forward, making sure that the partition behind the driver's seat was lowered.But it was pitch black inside and outside the car, and I couldn't see anything clearly.Then he heard Nanjiang shout, "Let's go!"

His voice was suppressed with excitement, as if he had witnessed some miracle with his own eyes.

The expected feeling of bumps and scratches did not come, but a faint light came in from the outside of the car window.

There was a cloudy yellow in the weak light, which gave people an extremely weird feeling, like a car light in the distance was lit through a thick layer of sandstorm, and then the distance was shortened little by little.

Ming Xia's heart was pounding, and she always felt that something great happened around her, but she couldn't see clearly.

In this dim light, he noticed that the sound outside had also changed.

The wind blew up, hovering in the narrow space, making a rather sharp whistling sound.In addition, there was a subtle sound in the air.

rustling, rustling.

Sometimes tight and sometimes slow.

It was the sound of extremely fine particles hitting the shell of the anti-riot car, but it didn't sound like rain. On the contrary, with its arrival, the water vapor in the car seemed to be sucked away, replaced by a slightly choking sound. Human earthy smell.

Ming Xia rubbed her nose, always felt that it was unscientific for her nose to be dry at this time.

Qing Qiu leaned on Ming Xia's shoulder, and said to him through the encrypted channel between the two: "We have already left that place."

Ming Xia didn't realize what he said.

"It's the place where we stopped to rest just now." Qingqiu said, "Now we have entered the restricted area."

People sitting in the car began to feel a strange bump, not like walking on a mountain road, but more like walking on a wasteland full of gravel.

The sound of the wind is also getting fiercer.And the slow and urgent rustling sound is also more obvious.

Ming Xia suddenly realized.That kind of rustling sound is the sound made by tiny sand particles being swept up by the strong wind and hitting the car body.

Ming Xia's eyes widened, but she still couldn't see anything through the car window ahead.But he knew in his heart that they had crossed the boundary of the penalty area and entered a place where the wind was howling.
