He found the right opportunity, and when he was sure there was no one by the river, he stopped at a relatively narrow spot in the river.
He had to do it.
The reason is that there is a mountain stream in front of us, with a large drop and rugged rocks in the river. I am afraid that I will not be able to pass through it with this kind of camouflage.
The only stuck point in the entire 38-kilometer river course is here.
To pass here, Shi Mingyuan had to go ashore, then walk about 100 meters forward with this clumsy and heavy camouflage, and then re-enter the water.
The river will be relatively gentle after that, all the way to the end.
Shi Mingyuan hid the disguise by the water, and then went out to conduct reconnaissance.
There are mountains on both sides of this river, steep mountains.
But there wasn't much vegetation, so there was no way to hide his whereabouts.
Although it was only 100 meters away, Shi Mingyuan decided not to take risks.
Even if I secretly observe the surroundings and find no trace of the search team, there seems to be no hidden whistle.
But he was unsure, so to be on the safe side, he decided to stop and find a place to hide.
Where to hide?
This is a technical question.
Finally, he decided not to go ashore and hide.
The reason is very simple. Once people go ashore, they will leave traces on the sand or stones or even the mud on the shore.
Professional snipers absolutely must receive counter-search training.
Shi Mingyuan knew all about the terrain and how to hide his traces.
He carefully observed his surroundings.
After making sure that no traces were left, he carefully returned to the water.
Water is a good helper in concealing traces.
This is why sometimes snipers like rainy days. Rainy days help them hide the traces of their penetration.
Returning to the water's edge, he found a secret hiding place - a crack between two huge rocks.
The water inside is very shallow, and the crack is about one meter deep, and a person can just hide in it.
The best thing is that over the years, the two sides of the stone have been covered with ferns that are common near the water. They are so long and dense that they just cover the entrance of the cave.
He dragged the camouflage to the entrance of the cave and went in first to check to make sure there wasn't a big snake living inside.
After confirming that there was no problem, he put away the dagger, dragged the camouflage to the entrance of the cave and fixed it. He also checked the plants at the entrance of the cave and found that no human traces were left before he sat down in the water with peace of mind.
I raised my wrist and looked at my watch. It was already 12:10 noon.
My stomach growled again unsatisfactorily.
Shi Mingyuan had to take out some individual soldier food from his backpack, tear open the packaging, and stuff it into his mouth randomly.
As soon as I ate it, I suddenly felt nauseous.
At first glance, it turned out that the tenderloin had been in water and the temperature was too low. A thick layer of white oil had solidified on this piece of tenderloin, which made it taste very unpleasant.
"well……"
He sighed, chewed and swallowed helplessly.
After eating, he put away the outer packaging and stuffed it into his backpack, then reached out and touched his head.
"What a fool..."
He couldn't help but grit his teeth and touched a big bag.
That stone hit just now was really cruel.
A bag with a thickness of one centimeter was directly formed.
Fortunately, there is no big problem.
This kind of minor injury will occasionally be encountered during training in the company. After training, take some bone-setting water and rub it, and the swelling will subside quickly.
Suddenly, Shi Mingyuan's eyes fell on his feet.
Because he found something approaching him.
When I looked closely, my hair stood up immediately.
Damn it's actually a snake!
I don't know where this snake came out from, I didn't see it when I came in before.
However, judging from the color of the flower, this guy with a yellowish-brown body and an oval head is not a venomous snake, but a common Chinese water snake.
But it's really quite big, nearly one meter in length, and as thick as a mineral water bottle cap.
Shi Mingyuan stared at the snake. The snake suddenly realized something, stopped, raised its head slightly, and seemed to feel the threat, and kept spitting out messages.
Snakes have weak eyesight but are very sensitive to smells.
It probably smelled something that didn't belong here.
Before the snake could react, Shi Mingyuan suddenly took action, grabbed the snake's neck and picked it up.
Then without saying anything, he took out the dagger, nailed it to the stone wall, cut it gently, and cut off the head.
Then the blade slid down the snake's neck and opened the snake's throat at once.
Then it's time to peel the skin.
Shi Mingyuan was very proficient in this craft. Whenever the veterans in the company were engaged in outdoor survival, they always caught one or two snakes and beat their teeth as a sacrifice.
But you can't light a fire here, so you have to make do.
After peeling off the snake's skin, Shi Mingyuan grabbed the snake's body with both hands and bit into it.
"tasty!"
Although the fresh snake meat has a slightly fishy smell, the meat is chewy and much more delicious than the greasy tenderloin.
Soon, a snake was eaten by him until only the skeleton was left.
Shi Mingyuan leaned against the stone wall and began to squint his eyes to rest.
He must reserve his strength now, and he will go out as soon as it gets dark.
Shi Mingyuan thought about it, and it would be best to set off during dinner time.
It was dark at that time, and the search team members were also human beings, and they also needed to eat.
I'm alone, there are so many of them looking for me, spending energy with me, it's a good deal just thinking about it.
Soon, he squinted in confusion.
Not knowing how long he had slept, Shi Mingyuan suddenly woke up from his dream.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the crack was completely dark.
Look at the time again, it's about five o'clock in the afternoon.
It's time to get ready to go.
He checked all the equipment, looked at the battery status of Beidou, and checked the camouflage. Some places were damaged by the boring group of five in the morning. When he went out later, he pulled a few fern leaves to patch them up, hoping
Nothing will go wrong.
Being in the water for a day is very painful.
Shi Mingyuan found that his skin had turned white and wrinkled...
But the mission is always the most important.
For a sniper, killing the target is the only criterion for accomplishing the mission.
It finally got dark.
Shi Mingyuan first took out the auspicious suit and put it on himself.
We have to pass the 100-meter section of the river and lose the cover of the river. It is easy to see ourselves in infrared mode.
He must make good use of the equipment he has on hand, and the ghillie suit is the only thing in his hand that can deal with infrared night vision devices.
After waiting for another hour, darkness always comes earlier in the mountains.
It was completely dark.
Shi Mingyuan, carrying his handmade camouflage, carefully left the river and walked downstream.
In the mountain stream, the chirping of insects is heard everywhere.
Shi Mingyuan felt like there was only one person left in the world.
He was a little cold, but he still carefully concentrated on watching his steps.
When walking on this kind of river beach, don't walk on the beach, walk on the pile of stones.
Walking along the stone pile is not a random walk, there is a method. When you reach the corner, step on the middle of the stones in the stone river. If you step on the tip of the stone, there is a thin layer of moss on the stones along the river all year round. A savvy tracker
I always check these places. The moss on the stones that someone has stepped on will fall off, which is very obvious.
