Chapter Thirteen Tasks

We carried the box back to the room, and the cat couldn't wait to say: "I guess it must be the AK47. I used to like it the most in CS. The recoil is so powerful."

Gourd said: "Not necessarily, maybe it's a box of grenades. When you see danger, throw one out quickly and take its head from a hundred meters away."

"You two, stop being so fucking weird, open it quickly and take a look." I each gave them a slap in the face.

As soon as the box was opened, we were all stunned. Damn it, there was an AK47 on it. This was a box of fucking tools and bullshit weapons. We were told to use shovels and chisels to defend ourselves?

So I opened another box and took a look. It was better than the previous box. They were all daggers, fixed blades and other cold weapons. Damn, there was also my favorite Arabian sword. It was like a dream.

Old Ma cursed: "I thought I would be given a few guns to play with. They are not knives and shovels. They are no different from farming."

"It's not like this. Guns as weapons only have a history of more than 20 years, but these cold weapons have existed for thousands of years. Even in today's era, many people with guns can't beat those with knives. The point is

It doesn’t matter what weapon you use, but you need to know how to use it." Brother Peng explained: "According to your thinking, those who use knives will definitely not be able to defeat those who use spears, and those who use spears will not be able to defeat those who use bows and arrows, but the actual situation

How?"

The old horse was silent.

I started to like daggers very early on, but because I had no money, I could only collect some pictures. I personally like the works of Bill Cronk and Brandon very much, which are beautiful and practical. But obviously the weapons prepared by Adalin did not

Taking into account the aesthetic aspect, practicality should not be mentioned. I picked up a fixed knife with a thin blade on the back. It is a typical survival series and I have seen it before in Beiye's wilderness survival.

Since I used a Kazakh knife near Kanas Lake last time, I think it is very necessary for a person to carry a knife with him. If he encounters any situation, he can defend himself. Of course, it is not recommended to actively attack others.

.However, I feel that the practicality of the Kazakh knife is really not very good. The long knife is short and the overall knife is thin. It is suitable for cutting meat, but it is far from good for cutting down trees and other things.

I chose two daggers and tied them to my calves respectively. I also picked two paratrooper knives and hung them on my thighs. Finally, I took my favorite Arabian machete and carried it behind my back: "See if I have it now."

A heroic demeanor?"

"That's bullshit style. A hero has always conquered the world with one sword. Whoever has so many knives tied to his body like you will look like a third-rate escort." Hulu sarcastically said to me.

"Fuck, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. When you need it, you won't have it. It's enough for you to drink a pot." I counterattacked.

Liu Yun and Nabuqi each took a small dagger and put it symbolically into their backpacks. Brother Peng was more elegant and took a paratrooper and hung it on his waist. The others also selected their weapons and got ready to go. Sure enough, they arrived

In the end, I was the only one who took five knives.

Early the next morning, we drove into the car and started working. Although I could drive, I was not familiar with the brand of the car, and I didn’t know what brand of car I was driving. It was actually a pickup truck with a very high chassis.

, pulling various outdoor supplies and diesel behind us. Obviously we will live in the wild after going out this time. It seems that the painful life of sleeping in the open air and covered with lice is unavoidable.

In front are people from the inspection team. I am the driver of the fourth car. Mao'er, Peng Ge, Hulu and Hesha are with me. Mao'er is still complaining that this distribution is obviously unreasonable, leaving Lao Ma and Jin Dou.

The two of them are so stupid together with Liu Yun and the others. As the saying goes, those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first. They lost Xiao Ai last time, and they will not survive if they are left behind this time.

I have already learned about Adaline, but this Hesha didn't speak much from the beginning to the end. I don't know if it's because she doesn't know Chinese or something.

"I said Miss Hesha, where are you from?" Let me try first.

Hesha glanced at me and ignored me.

This foreign girl doesn't seem to speak Chinese.

"excuse me, hertha miss, can you speak chinese?" Brother Peng asked in a decent manner.

"Holy shit, Brother Peng, your English is awesome, but if she can speak Chinese, you just told Ye Fei, and to ask this, you really took off your pants and farted, it's unnecessary." Hulu laughed.

"That's what you said." Brother Peng looked a little embarrassed.

But what was unexpected was that Hesha spoke: "I can speak Chinese, but I only answer professional questions and have no interest in boring questions."

Like Adaline, she is also a woman with no interest.

"Where are you from? It looks like you are from Europe." I asked.

"I'm Swedish."

"Nordic people, your people are all tall and strong. It's also because I have poor eyesight. Logically speaking, I should be able to see that." I said.

"Any other questions?" Hesha asked.

"How far do we have to go to reach our destination?" I asked awkwardly.

"About three hundred kilometers, we are going to Nineveh."

“Where is Nineveh?”

Brother Peng took over the conversation and said: "Nineveh was the capital of the ancient Assyrian Empire. It was near Mosul in northern Iraq. Do you know the seven wonders of the world? The Hanging Garden is said to be there."

"Sky Gardens? Are we going there?"

"Yes, it's around there, but don't go there, there are too many people," Hesha said.

"Then can we stay in Mosul for the night?"

"No, we are secretly cooperating with the Iraqi government and cannot expose our whereabouts too much."

"Damn, just like a spy." Cat complained.

There is a highway 300 kilometers north from Baghdad to Mosul. It is relatively easy to drive, and it takes more than three hours to arrive. But after arriving in Mosul, we got off the regular highway and started to travel through the vast desert.

middle.

At this time, Hulu spoke: "Only the northeastern part of Iraq has a Mediterranean climate, which is quite normal. Most of the rest of Iraq has a tropical desert climate. If we continue like this, we will soon reach the border, either next to Syria or Türkiye. .”

I looked at Hesha with doubtful eyes.

"Don't look at me and look at the road." Hesha said simply.

I shrugged, it didn’t matter, I’d go over to the border anyway, so I wasn’t worried about anything serious happening.

After probably driving in the desert for about an hour, I had no sense of direction at all, and the car was bumping so hard that the cat had vomited all over him. Liu Yun in the car behind was also almost sick, and it made me uncomfortable to look at him.

"Ye Fei, something doesn't look right. Such a large desert is a bit intimidating, but it won't make you breathless." Brother Peng didn't seem to be in good spirits.

"Of course, we are now over 3,000 meters above sea level, so of course it cannot be the same as before." Hulu said with the same breath.

"Damn, it's not comfortable to stay in a place like this, why do you do any work?" Brother Peng finally said two curse words.

The car in front stopped, and we quickly went down to take a breath. Everyone seemed to be in low spirits. Adalin ran to the front and said something to the expedition leader.

Liu Yun drank some water and complained: "If I had known that the journey would be so difficult, I wouldn't have come."

Nabuqi's appearance is quite normal. She is Mongolian and the altitude where she lives is not much lower.

"Ye Fei, why do you seem to have little influence? The oxygen here is almost two-thirds of what we have at home." Hulu asked curiously.

"I stayed in Qinghai for a period of time before, and I adapted a little faster than you. This is not the point. The point is that we have to live or die today, otherwise Liu Yun will definitely not be able to hold on." I comforted.

"Damn it, and I feel as if I'm about to die," the cat cried.

"I told you before that I didn't come here just for fun. Look at the TV. The big oil fields are near the city. They are in the wilderness. Surveying is very difficult." Jin Dou'er said with a smirk.

"Okay, let's take a break first and see what Adalin says later." Brother Peng motioned for everyone to stop teasing and rest quickly.

After a while, Adalin and Hesha came to us: "Camp here tonight, your supplies are in these two vehicles, and we will move forward on foot tomorrow."

"Hiking? You're not mistaken. This is a desert. If you get lost, you will die." Gourd shouted.

"It doesn't matter, we have a compass and enough supplies to survive for half a month." Adalin said easily.

"How can we move such heavy materials?" I asked.

"You don't have to worry about survey equipment or anything like that. Just bring enough food and water for yourself. Don't fall behind."

"I really don't know what Xiaoxuehua wants to do with so much money for asking us to come here." I muttered.

After Adalin and Hesha left, we set up the tent. We would be out of breath even if we did a little work in the plateau area. If we hike for more than ten kilometers tomorrow, we will have to leave a group of people behind. Look at the delicate ones.

Liu Yun and the weak Jin Dou'er, it seems that this half month has been a tough battle.

After having something to eat in the evening, we all went to rest. I took Brother Peng with me to find Adalin. As soon as we met, I said straight to the point: "My friends have not received any special training, so hiking is no problem, but if we go hiking,

Carrying so much supplies, I think this is a big test. What if someone can’t hold on and falls behind?”

Adalin said coldly: "I told you before I came here. This is not a tour. Now that we are here, it will be difficult for us to handle it if we fall behind. We can't arrange a bus to send her back. The manpower is limited now.

"

"Why can't we drive away? Then we can retreat in special circumstances. Walking on foot is too dangerous." Brother Peng suggested.

"There is a lot of quicksand ahead. Once your car gets stuck, you will find it is more dangerous than hiking."

"Then tell me, what if someone faints because he can't stand the environment here." I asked.

"You are responsible for rescuing your own people. This is why Miss Liu arranged for eight of you. The people from the survey team will not help you."

"You're asking us to die, because you said it so nicely before," Brother Peng complained.

Adalin said coldly: "I have no choice, Miss Liu is rushing the ducks to the shelf. Let's do this. The survey team's trip tomorrow is twenty kilometers. I will ask Hersha to go with you. You will walk ten kilometers tomorrow. We can contact you at any time.

, you try to move forward."

"I think this suggestion is acceptable." I replied.
