509 Unlucky Egg (600
"What's going on? Why did you stop moving forward!" Wacker, wearing a dark green camouflage uniform of the Russian Army and a cold mask on his head, stood on the ridge, looking at the somewhat tired team in the forest and roared again.
It had been five days, and with 70 Adjudicators and 200 Redeemer soldiers, they had launched a dragnet search in this mountainous area, but the red-robed nun Zhuma Bayi and Fang Wenlin's family still could not find anyone alive or dead.
He suddenly received an order from the Bishop in the middle of the night. He said that he was not too confident about the soldiers' abilities and asked the Adjudicator team to go up the mountain with hunting dogs to capture the escaped nun alive.
At that time, I thought it was unnecessary, just a nun and three refugees. Even if the red-robed nuns had received military training, the three companies of soldiers should not have any problems. Besides, this was an arrest operation commanded by Sabine, and I was halfway there.
Intervening would worsen the already tense relationship between the Adjudicator and the military.
But the bishop said that he would say hello to Sabine, so that he would not have any psychological burden and go all out. Since he had said so, he could only obey, and immediately took two teams of judges and two hounds up the mountain.
The development of the matter was almost as expected. The soldiers of the army did not dare to go up the mountain at night. They only set up blockades at the foot of the mountain to block several roads going down the mountain. After the judge arrived, he did not encounter any obstruction and the progress was very smooth. It didn't take long for the hounds to go up the mountain.
Traces were found.
But when the Adjudicator team approached the cave, something unexpected happened. Almost a squad of soldiers were killed at the entrance of the cave and on the path down the mountain, including a stranger dressed as a refugee, a red-robed nun and Fang Wenlin's family.
Don't know where to go.
After a simple on-site investigation, it was found that the refugees and the soldiers were not very similar to each other and died together. Moreover, the identity of the refugee would not be clear for a while, as his face and hands were smashed by bullets.
But when he reported the investigation results to the bishop, he was scolded and ordered to take over the investigation immediately without further delay in continuing the pursuit.
The chase was easy to handle. Five teams of Judges were immediately dispatched and the hounds were brought along to follow the horse's hoof prints. However, investigating the scene was not the Judge's forte. There were no identification marks on the corpse of the refugee, and he couldn't even see his appearance clearly.
, where will I go to figure it out in a while?
At this moment, Sister Anna and the female doctors from the East Asia Alliance delegation rushed to the foot of the mountain and extended a helping hand in time. To say that one has to specialize in surgery to be powerful, the female doctor only spent more than ten minutes.
With a few flashlights, I was very sure that the body was not a refugee.
The reason is very simple. The degree of wear and tear on the skin on the hands, feet and face is very different from that of refugees. In addition, the food in the stomach is not like what refugees often eat. After questioning, it is exactly the same as the food of the soldiers who participated in the roundup that night.
At this time, Wacker wanted to curse. It took more than an hour from the discovery of the body to the completion of the autopsy by the female doctor. The soldiers of the three companies had not finished counting their respective personnel, and they could not determine whether the body was his.
People are still pretending to be outsiders.
But these words were not enough to be scolded in front of the two company commanders of the military. If they reached Sabine's ears, that stupid pig whose mind was full of power, goods and women would hate himself even more.
Although Sabine is protected by the Trappist Order, Sabine can't do anything to herself, but there is a Chinese proverb that goes well, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being remembered. After all, it is not a good thing to be resented by the second-in-command all day long, even if
Just the second in command in name only.
Just wait? How long will it take? If you delay the opportunity to arrest, you will have to blame it on yourself. With no choice, Wacker had to entrust the on-site investigation work to Sister Anna, and then all the adjudicators in the base were
They were summoned and headed into the forest.
Since the last time he lost three elite teams of Judges near Iron Gate Pass, he has become a big joke among the Trappist Order and even the Redeemers. Although the Bishop did not blame him too much, he even transferred them from Sabine.
200 elite soldiers are specially added to the Adjudicator.
But Wacker knew in his heart that this might be the last time. If he could not make any achievements or suffered another big loss, his position would be in jeopardy immediately. The operation to capture the red-robed nuns could only succeed but not fail!
But the arrest operation only lasted less than two hours before Wacker was a little scratched his head. At first, he could still rely on hounds to find traces of someone staying near the waterhole. He thought he would be able to catch up in less than a day.
Unexpectedly, four days had passed. An additional 200 soldiers were sent to cooperate. They marched more than ten kilometers south and west, and carefully searched more than a dozen hills, but still found nothing.
Not only did they fail to find the target, but the team searching for the mountain also had problems. 200 soldiers could no longer walk more than a day ago. They had sprains, injuries from falls, stomachaches, colds, and colds. The non-combat attrition reached 20%, and they had to evacuate early.
Rest in the mountains.
The performance of the 70 adjudicators was not that bad. Except for a few who slipped and slipped down the hillside and were injured, the team was basically intact. But after wandering around the mountainous area for several days, they couldn't eat well, drink well, or sleep well.
Morale has hit rock bottom. If I hadn't led the team to suppress them, I would have retreated long ago.
"Report, there is a large area of nettles ahead, and the hounds can no longer search. President, it is impossible for humans to pass here. We may have gone the wrong way again..."
Soon a judge in a gray cloak ran back and reported the situation in a low voice. He was one of the first Russian survivors found by Wacker. He was also a herdsman and had three Central Asian shepherd dogs at home.
This kind of dog is huge in size and has a ferocious temperament. It can fight alone against small groups of prairie wolves, snow leopards, black bears and other beasts. It is a good helper for shepherds and is also very good at tracking lost livestock in mountainous terrain.
But this time the two Central Asian shepherd dogs he brought failed to complete their mission. Except for the initial tracking from the cave to the waterhole, which went smoothly, then they kept making mistakes.
First, they encountered a setback near the waterhole. The two shepherd dogs sniffed here and there and couldn't agree. One wanted to continue southward along the hillside, while the other wanted to cross the stream and head east.
As a result, the search team was divided into two, searching south and east at the same time. It turned out that the sheepdog heading east may be better, and the one heading south could not find any trace after walking for more than a day.
But today, the eastward shepherd dog seemed to be in dire straits. It had been circling the hillside since the morning, and the dog's face was full of confusion. For the team leader who was familiar with the shepherd dog's every move, he immediately
Know how to get bad food.
