Chapter 53 Heavy losses

"Buzz!"

Zhang Fang drove the hedgehog at high speed and started sprinting along the canyon. About five minutes later, the vehicle rushed out of the front exit with thick tail smoke.

"Pullingleng!"

As the engine roared, wild ducks, wild geese, and wild swans rose up in the distance, flying around in fright. The world outside the canyon was no longer a simple Gobi. Although it was still relatively desolate, grassland could already be seen on the ground.

, there are many sporadic tall plants growing in it, and there are also many animals such as hares and lizards running around.

"You can slow down! Those snakes won't chase you!" Ning Zhe yelled loudly from behind, almost vomiting.

"Squeak!"

Zhang Fang heard the shouts from behind and took a look in the rearview mirror. Sure enough, he found that all the snakes behind him were gathering at the exit of the canyon and circling, spitting out snake messages provocatively, but they did not chase them out.

"What's going on? Can't those snakes leave the canyon?" When Ren Jiao saw this scene, a flash of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

"Impossible! If they couldn't leave the canyon, how could the giant python attack us on the broken bridge before?" Zhang Fang's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Ning Zhe: "What did you do before?

You keep saying that you have never been to this Gobi desert, but you know that snakes cannot leave the canyon! Tell me! Is this your fault?!"

"Please be smarter! If you hadn't helped bring us out before, we would have been buried in the snake's belly! If I could control them, why would I run with you? What good would it do me if you died!

Ning Zhe pointed to a plant outside the canyon: "Those plants are a kind of herb, called wild cassia! This plant, together with impatiens and Aesculus, are the plants that snakes are most afraid of! Also,

This is the habitat of wild geese and wild swans, and the feces of these birds contain a sulfur substance. Once a snake is exposed to it, it will rot and cannot recover. When we first came out, there were many hares and the like here.

, if these snakes could come out to hunt, they would have become extinct long ago!”

"You continue to lead the way, we must meet up with the captain and the others!" After listening to Ning Zhe's explanation, Zhang Fang looked at the plants in the distance and the bird droppings on the ground, and put away his gun. Among the mercenaries, he was considered a leader.

A person with relatively strong military literacy has been responsible for guarding the management center in the fortress. This is the first time he has left the fortress. His understanding of the outside world is really limited.

"The wilderness here is vast, where do you want me to find them?" Ning Zhe was very upset about Ye Peng's abandonment of them before, and wished those guys would die in this wilderness as soon as possible.

"Don't forget, before leaving the fortress this time, we left hostages at the guard post! And if we lose contact with the captain, the situation will be even worse! Our car doesn't have much fuel anymore, so we have to gather with the large army.

, to have a chance to wait for rescue!" Zhang Fang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ning Zhe: "I know you have a way to lead me to find them, don't force me to do anything to you!"

"You alone may not be what we are capable of." Ren Jiao dismissed Zhang Fang's threat and spoke with cold eyes.

"Well, no matter what, he is also our savior!" Ning Zhe glanced at Zhang Fang, quickly climbed up the mast of the hedgehog car, and then pointed in a direction: "Hare in the wilderness is very alert, but also courageous.

They are very small and will react to defecation after being frightened. There are a lot of rabbit droppings on the ground over there, and the convoy should be heading that way!"

"Everyone, get in the car and sit tight!" Zhang Fang heard this and sat in the cockpit.

"Wait!" Ning Zhe waited for Zhang Fang to sit in the car and looked at him with squinted eyes: "My friend shot at the hedgehog car in the canyon to protect all of us, including you!

So I hope you can keep this a secret!"

Zhang Fang snorted coldly and looked sideways at a few people: "Why, after killing people, are you afraid now that you know it?"

"I am willing to tell you this because you saved our lives. Otherwise, killing you is the safest way for us!" Ning Zhe felt the contempt in Zhang Fang's eyes and narrowed his eyes.

He raised his eyes and said, "I know that in the eyes of you people, refugees are inferior, but your contempt is not enough to allow you to deal with so many of us at the same time!"

"Brother Fang, actually my brother and the others are good people. They did this to let everyone survive in Shekou. Please calm down!" Fatty Li saw the stalemate between the two sides and began to join in and act as a peacemaker.

"Don't worry, I won't tell you! There are internal regulations among mercenaries. If you kill a teammate, you will have to go to a military court. I will not cause such trouble for myself." Zhang Xing also knew very well that without Ren Jiao's shot

If so, I am afraid that another group of people would have come out at this moment. Fatty Li had seen him injured before and got him medicine, so he was not disgusted with Fatty Li.

After both parties decided to hide the matter, the Hedgehog Car took off on the road again. About half an hour later, it arrived near a Populus euphratica forest that had been dry for many years, and saw Ye Peng's team at the edge of the forest.

"Squeak!"

After Zhang Fang parked the car, he jumped out of the car and saluted Ye Peng: "Captain! We were attacked by a group of snakes in the canyon. The first and second combat groups were wiped out! The third group

I am the only one who survives!"

At this moment, more than half of the twelve mercenaries on the mercenary side had been killed or injured. After accounting for Ye Peng and Zhang Fang, there were only four left.

"Don't talk about these useless things! Where are the supplies? Have you brought the supplies out?" Gao Shengrong didn't wait for Zhang Fang to finish his words, and ran to Ning Zhe's truck. He found that there was nothing inside, and he collapsed.

Sitting on the ground: "It's over! It's all over now! Our fuel, food, and tents are all gone! Captain Ye, I beg you, ask for help from the fortress, let's go back!"

Ning Zhe then remembered that the hedgehog car that was knocked over by Ren Jiao's previous shot also had a bucket behind it, and what was inside was the scientific expedition team's supplies.

"Do you think I don't want to go back? I just tried to contact the fortress, but for some reason, the satellite phone has no signal at all in this place!" Ye Peng shouted irritably, then adjusted his mood and looked at Xie Guangkun:

"Professor Xie, now our supplies have been left in the canyon, and the satellite phone has lost its signal. The only way is to continue completing the mission, while looking for a place with a signal, and ask for help from the fortress!"

"Well, that's all." After hearing Ye Peng's response, Xie Guangkun nodded helplessly.

Hearing the conversation between a few people, Ning Zhe started to gloat a little. Previously, these guys always felt that they were superior. Whether they were eating or camping, they had to distinguish the refugees from them. Now that their food is gone, they will be there next.

When you are hungry.

Since leaving the fortress, everything that everyone has experienced has completely subverted Ye Peng's understanding of what is outside the fortress, but he still remains calm: "Now our supplies are missing, and there is not much energy left.
