The second night in the desert was still bitingly cold, but Leon, who was walking at the front, was already exhausted and sweating profusely.
"Maurice, do we have to climb this sand beam?" Leon asked, using his hands and feet to drag the chair and climb to the top of the sand beam that stretched to the end of the field of vision.
"This can save a lot of time and save you a lot of walking." Morris, who was lying on the chair, responded to the other party while keeping his finger on the trigger of the submachine gun.
"You can't trust Felix, right?"
Leon asked in a low voice while tugging hard, "Maurice, you have a gun in your hand. You can definitely kill Felix. In this way, the remaining water and cans will be enough for the two of us."
.I swear, I..."
"Even if you invite General Rommel to testify, I won't believe you."
Navigator Morris refused before the other party finished speaking, "So shut up, otherwise I don't mind letting Mr. Felix talk to you."
"I hope you're pointing in the right direction."
Laon decisively changed the subject, but continued to complain, "It's been a whole day, and I've only eaten one-third of the box of cans, and you're so heavy, I'm almost out of strength."
"If you really can't hold off anymore, just tell me in time."
Morris responded indifferently, "If you lose your value, there will be one less person to eat. In this way, Felix and I may be able to hold on for a few more days."
"Why don't you want to believe me?" Leon's tone became more and more irritable, "We can leave this desert just by working together."
"Felix?" Morris shouted in a moderate voice, quite like opening the door to let the dog out, or a dog fighting against a human.
"forget it"
Laian seemed to have filled up his physical strength in an instant, and in a few moments he pulled the long chair to the top of the sand beam, which was not too high. "Shall we continue moving forward?"
"Keep going," Morris responded immediately, letting Leon sit on the upturned chair and slide down together.
But on the other side of the sand bridge they had just climbed over, Felix stopped, took out a silver pocket watch from his pocket, and glanced at the hands that were jumping back and forth in the center of the dial. Then, he
He immediately put away his pocket watch, tightened the rope and began to climb over the sand beam.
Less than a hundred meters away, Weiran also put away his telescope, took out the heavy compass from his pocket and placed it on the sand in front of him. When the bubbles in the dial reached the center, the pointer also hovered.
Come down.
"Still heading north..."
Wei Ran raised his head and glanced at the clean night sky. He slowly took out the oil barrel filled with cold beer from the metal book, took out the preserved coconut shell from the net bag, and carefully took a glass of beer into his stomach.
Count as a pick-me-up.
Glancing at the time on his watch, Wei Ran put away the coconut shell that served as a wine glass and followed him while counting the steps.
It was another night of driving with few stops, and when the sky turned white again, Felix and the other three stopped their tired footsteps near a Gobi desert densely covered with weathered gravel.
"Felix, should we eat something?" Leon asked weakly, "I'm so hungry that my eyes are dazzled."
"Bring your cup"
While Felix was speaking, he had already taken out a tin can from the long chair behind him.
Upon hearing this, Laian immediately took off the kettle hanging from his waist, took off the cup that came with the kettle and handed it over, licking his lips and waiting for the food that was about to be distributed.
At the same time, behind a sand dune less than 200 meters away, Wei Ran also opened the last can left in his net bag and ate it slowly with the beer poured into the coconut shell. From time to time, he would raise his telescope.
, take a look in the direction of Felix and others.
Compared with yesterday, this time, Felix did not borrow Leon's telescope to observe the surrounding situation. He had obviously lost his wariness about the possibility of someone following behind him. This was certainly a good news for Weiran.
Good news, I even had the luxury of drinking an extra bowl of beer.
After filling his stomach, Wei Ran hesitated for a moment and put the cans into his mesh bag. Using the cover of the surrounding terrain, he cautiously approached Felix and the others. After all, there was no point in following them all the way, at least.
, he needs to find out who is Edward's grandfather.
When the distance between the two parties narrowed to less than 20 meters, there was only a severely weathered stone between him and Felix and others. From such a close distance, he could even vaguely hear three voices.
Conversation between people.
At this time, the three of them had finished the strictly allocated food. Felix was busy dressing the wound on the face of the navigator Morris, while Ang raised his hands high and turned his back to the muzzle of the submachine gun in Morris' hand.
Standing quietly against a piece of gravel.
Seeing that none of the three people were looking at him, Wei Ran carefully raised the telescope in his hand. Although from this angle he could only see Morris' side face full of wounds, he could at least be sure that this man and what Mr. Edward provided,
The picture of his grandfather is definitely not the same person.
So, Felix, who has his back turned to him at this moment, is Edward's grandfather, who took over the identity of the man named Rouse when he was captured?
In his guess, Felix also helped Maurice re-bandage the wound on his face, and Leon was able to put down his raised hands and walk back again.
"Felix, I've finished my water."
Laon picked up his kettle and shook it, "You said when I helped you carry the gold, this jug of water is enough for me for two days. Can you fill it up for me in advance? Wait until I wake up.
There is water to drink.”
Felix glanced at Leon and nodded almost indifferently, "Okay...".
"Give you a kettle." The moment the other party agreed, Laian gently threw the empty kettle in his hand over.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, just when Felix was subconsciously preparing to catch the kettle, he suddenly heard Leon pointing at the former in panic and shouting hoarsely,
"Get away! There are poisonous snakes there!"
This voice not only caused Felix to change his action of picking up the kettle into jumping in the opposite direction of Leon, but Morris, who had been pointing his submachine gun at Leon, also subconsciously turned his gaze in the direction of the poisonous snake.
But just when he realized that he had been deceived, Leon had already rushed behind him. At the same time, he grabbed the barrel of the submachine gun and hit Mo with the telescope he held in the other hand.
The back of Reese's hand holding the handle of the gun!
Along with Morris's scream of pain, the empty kettle also hit the soft yellow sand with a "snap!"
"Get down!"
Leon pressed the captured submachine gun against the back of Maurice's head and shouted like a madman, "Felix! Throw all your weapons out!"
This sudden change caught Felix and Morris off guard, but it also made Weiran subconsciously take out the Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera from the metal book, and after completing the shooting preparations as quickly as possible, he took the risk to see the camera aiming
He caught the three people not far away.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Felix stood up and asked with a sneer.
"I have no intention of killing you"
While Leon was speaking, he had already pulled the trigger, and a series of "click-click" shots also splashed a cloud of dust on the sand between Felix and Maurice.
"What do you want to do?" Morris asked, covering the back of his injured hand.
"Give me a big bucket of water and five cans!"
Leon took a few steps back, casually hung the telescope around his neck and said, "I only want half of the water and cans! I won't kill you, let's go our separate ways!"
"Do you want to follow us?" Morris, who had his back to Leon, asked in a mocking tone.
"Shut up!"
Leon fired a series of shots again, "I just want to survive! Maurice, don't you? Didn't you guard against Felix? That bastard parachuted away before the plane made an emergency landing! He should be our common
enemy."
"I can give you all the water and canned food you want."
As he spoke, Felix took a step aside, pointed to the chair beside him that was used to drag supplies, and asked, "Are you going to get it yourself or should I help you get it?"
"I myself...come and get it!"
Leon raised his gun and shouted excitedly, "A bucket of water, five cans! And the broken chair are all mine!"
"no problem"
Felix turned around with great joy, turned his back to Leon and began to untie the rest of the things from the chair. Then he pointed to the chair with only one bucket and five cans left and said, "Now they are yours."
"Back off! Back off!" The look of madness on Laian's face was getting stronger at this time.
Felix simply took a few steps back to the side. After exchanging positions with Leon in the stalemate, he still bent down and pulled the legs of the chair under Morris to move back a few meters.
Seeing this, Leon licked his lips and picked up the parachute rope tied to the chair that already belonged to him.
However, with just such a bending action, Felix suddenly pounced to one side without any warning!
Almost subconsciously, Leon, who was deceived by the same trick, straightened up and raised his submachine gun, preparing to fire at Felix.
In this flash of lightning, Morris had already touched a P38 pistol from behind that Felix had just placed there, pointed it at Leon and pulled the trigger repeatedly!
The sound of gunfire one after another broke the silence in the hinterland of the desert, and Leon threw himself on top of his bucket of water and cans.
"You can only drag me away from now on." As Morris spoke, he turned the handle of the pistol and handed it to Felix beside him.
Felix did not take the pistol, but said regretfully as he got up, "He could have survived."
"You are such a good person," Morris couldn't help but say, "I really don't understand how a soldier like you could be sent here."
"It would be good for both of us to have him alive."
Felix walked up to Leon, bent down and picked up the submachine gun in the latter's hand, and then turned Leon over. At this time, the dark red blood gushing out of the corner of his mouth had stained the bottle filled with water red.
The metal bucket and even the telescope hanging around his neck had its lenses smashed after hitting the chair legs.
After Felix gently took off the telescope from the opponent's neck, looked around with the only remaining lens tube, and saw that it was still usable, he hung it around his neck and said leisurely, "It's a pity, he always
Thought we were going to kill him."
"What's next?" Morris asked.
"You decide"
Felix was quite uninterested as he pushed Laian's body aside, tied the other weapons he had just unhooked from the chair to the chair again, and threw the submachine gun magazines filled with bullets next to Laian.
.
"I'll decide?" Morris looked at the former in confusion.
"Of course it's up to you to decide"
After finishing his work, Felix even took off his watch this time, and handed it to Morris along with the blood-stained submachine gun, "It's up to you which direction to go after taking it off, when to start and when to rest.
Let’s decide.”
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Felix continued extremely seriously, "Maurice, I just want to leave this desert alive as soon as possible, and send you and the golden news back alive as soon as possible in exchange for one or two military medals. This is mine.
Responsibility and mission are also the reasons why I was sent here to follow your aircraft."
This time, Morris still did not clearly express his attitude. He just said, "Let's change positions and rest."
Hearing this, Felix nodded, dragged the former and transferred him to the chair containing the survival supplies. Then he threw away all the unnecessary things on his body, and then, like a tireless draft horse, he pulled
The chair moved towards another shadow in the distance.
Behind the two of them, Wei Ran aimed at their backs and pressed the shutter again. Everything that just happened was both expected and unexpected. No matter what Felix said,
Leon actually knew that he would be abandoned sooner or later, sooner or later, but he wanted to leave the desert alive, but he had to rely on the navigator Maurice.
Therefore, it is almost the smartest choice to grab some of your own supplies early and follow them from a distance. This way, you don't have to act as a coolie who may be abandoned at any time, and you also ensure that you have a chance to leave alive.
As for killing Felix, Wei Ran believes that Leon must have thought about it, but once he kills Felix, not only will he continue to act as a driving force for Morris, he will even be responsible for the supplies.
Unfortunately, Leon was still too impatient. It had only been two nights, and neither Felix nor Maurice, who had been threatened by him, could put down their guard against him so quickly.
Not only did his impulse not bring about the desired result, but it made Maurice, who was unable to move, passive and had to tie himself to Felix.
"It's Morris who will be in trouble next..."
Wei Ran leaned against the stone warmed by the sun and muttered to himself, but he still had no idea of showing up to talk to Felix.
