When Shi Mingyuan was cornered, he almost wanted to draw his gun and fight to the death.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the ground about one meter away.
A trace of joy instantly appeared on his face.
That's a pit.
It's not deep, only about half a meter deep.
There is no water in the pit either.
They are all dead branches and leaves.
He leaned over and carefully stepped on it with his feet.
Soft.
"Help!"
He saw hope.
Although I saw hope, it was just a guess.
He had to determine how thick these dead branches were.
Of course, the thicker the better.
If you can get into these dead branches and leaves, you have a high chance of escaping.
A very common field camouflage technique used by special forces is to dig a hole, bury yourself in it, and restore the top to its original state.
Such disguises are difficult to detect.
Because there are dead branches and leaves everywhere in the primitive jungle, and they have accumulated a thick layer after many years of no one has walked on them.
This is natural camouflage.
As a sniper, you can also dig a hole when building a sniper position, and the surface should be covered with camouflage such as raw soil or snow, branches and leaves depending on the environment.
It's definitely too late to dig a hole in a hurry.
But this is a ready-made disguise pit.
Shi Mingyuan quickly inspected the pit.
At this time, the time has reached five o'clock in the afternoon.
It started to get dark.
The dense forest looks darker because the tree crown blocks the light.
He finally found a place to start - a protruding dead branch.
Shi Mingyuan stretched out his hand, grabbed the raised section of dead branch, and lifted it up with force.
This is a branch with branches. Due to its horizontal area, after it falls on the ground, other dead leaves cover it. Over time, it forms something like a blanket. As long as you pull up this branch, you can create a
Large foliage.
Shi Mingyuan didn't have time to think too much.
There was no time for him to think too much.
According to my own estimation, in less than thirty seconds at most, the other party might pass by.
He gently lifted up the dead leaves supported by the large branch, put them aside, and then began to dig at the dead leaves below with both hands.
Those dead leaves had long since rotted, and they were moist and had a strong earthy smell.
Shi Mingyuan dug a hole, put his backpack in it, and then lay down in the hole again.
He did all this quickly and steadily because he couldn't make any obvious noise.
That would bring in the search party.
After lying in, he gently dragged the "blanket" that he had put aside before, carefully lifted it up, and slowly let it cover his body...
Less than five seconds after finishing, a member of the "Iron Fist" guard unit appeared where Shi Mingyuan had been before. His muzzle was half-raised and he was in an alert state.
As long as there is any movement, he can quickly aim the gun and pull the trigger.
After standing there warily for a while, he turned around and blew a bird call behind him.
Five figures slowly appeared in the woods behind.
"What did you find?"
"No……"
The vanguard who arrived first shook his head.
"Nothing strange."
A man walked out from behind, officially the captain of the guard unit.
He looked around, scanning everything here.
While watching, he asked: "I clearly heard some noise here, how come there is no one there?"
"Captain, is it a wild beast?" the soldier asked.
The squad leader shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like that."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the pit less than half a meter deep.
After watching for a moment, he wanted to get closer because of the dim light, so he walked towards the pit step by step.
At this time, Shi Mingyuan, who was hiding under the thick rotten leaves in the pit, was sweating profusely.
He had even reduced his breathing to a minimum.
I'm afraid that breathing too loud will attract the other person's attention.
swish swish——
He heard someone coming this way.
He couldn't see the other person clearly through the thick rotten leaves, but from the sound of footsteps, it was clear that he was approaching him.
It seems that the other party has noticed this pit and became suspicious.
Originally, such a conspicuous pit was not a good place to hide.
Don't think that a trap will necessarily make it good.
If you can hide from people, you can also attract people's attention.
"It's over, it's over..."
Shi Mingyuan was full of dissatisfaction.
Just a little bit.
I have arrived at the target area.
As long as the other party doesn't notice him and escapes this time, it will soon be six o'clock and the target will definitely go downstairs for dinner.
Take aim at him and shoot him, and everything will be over.
It's a pity that I still couldn't escape the last hurdle.
His fingers had begun to slowly touch the holster on his thigh.
If it doesn't work, you can kill one by one. You can't just be escorted back to the base with a 0 record. How embarrassing!
"who!"
The sudden loud shout almost made Shi Mingyuan, who was hiding in the pile of rotten leaves, almost jump up in shock.
He thought he was scolding himself to let himself out.
I thought I had already revealed myself.
Just when he was about to jump up and defeat the fish, he heard another voice coming from the other end: "Password!"
"Iron Fist! Return the order!"
"justice!"
Both sides exchanged commands and lowered their guns.
"Old Zheng?"
"Jianpeng?"
"Are you here?"
"Yes, come out and expand the search range. Didn't the squadron leader tell you?"
"I told you, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"Fuck! I almost shot!"
"Don't worry, that kid probably hasn't gotten here yet. There are so many secret sentries and patrols along the way, he probably won't be able to get through."
"Who knows! It's better to be careful anyway."
The two sides had a conversation there.
It turned out that the guard unit and the unit that came to support the search accidentally met in the mountains.
Shi Ming, who was under the pile of rotten leaves, was close at hand and took in all the conversation between the two parties.
Only now did he understand that the searchers appearing in two different directions at the same time was not the result of a cross-method search, but a complete coincidence on both sides.
So lucky...
Shi Mingyuan felt like he had divine help.
He suddenly had a bold idea.
Maybe God is helping me.
Since God has helped me, can it still happen this time?
The confidence I lacked in myself at first suddenly came back.
Now, he felt relieved.
There's no rush.
Anyway, both sides thought that the noise just now was caused by the other party.
Little did they know that there was a sniper hiding in the pit four or five meters away from their feet.
The leaders of the two search teams got together and chatted for about a minute, then said goodbye to each other, and then split up to search different areas.
All the content of their conversation has fallen into Shi Mingyuan's ears.
Shi Mingyuan heard the general search routes of the two teams clearly!
Hearing the details, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
He actually told the location of the target in the room.
This saves trouble.
There is no need to wait for food, just go to the southeast side of the building later. There is a window there where you can see the target.
The captain of the guard unit had already spilled the beans just now.
I feel comfortable this time.
It takes no effort to get there even if you wear iron shoes.
After the two teams walked away, Shi Mingyuan slowly crawled out from under the rotten leaves like a snake.
The sky was getting darker, and the outline of the crescent moon could be vaguely seen on the horizon.
Shi Mingyuan checked his equipment, put on his backpack, found a hiding place under a nearby tree, and hid there to wait.
Now he just has to wait.
He knew the general search directions of the two search teams.
In half an hour, they will be completely far away from here.
Their search range is within 1000 meters.
What they don't know is that their current location is only 600 meters away from the building!
In other words, he has completely penetrated behind enemy lines.
