"We will be on duty in the first half of the night, let them rest first. Everyone is exhausted." The captain patted Hansen on the shoulder.
Hansen nodded slightly and had no objection to the captain's arrangement. Suddenly, the captain looked up at the sky and muttered: "I'm afraid the weather is going to be bad!"
Hansen grinned: "It would be nice if it rained, because Lendona and the others wouldn't be able to escape far."
"I hope so." The captain also smiled.
Sure enough, after nightfall, the pouring rain started raging. Hansen and others pursued the rebels all the way, traveling lightly. Apart from weapons and dry food, they didn't even bring much clothing, let alone luxury goods such as tents. But for
For the team members who had been tired for many days, the heavy rain was nothing. Many people just used branches to build tents that could not block the rain at all, hid inside, and fell asleep.
Hansen and the captain looked at each other from a distance, guarding the simple camp, regardless of the raging rain. In this wilderness close to the forest, the rebels' counterattacks and sneak attacks were secondary. The most dangerous ones were the beasts active on the edges of the grasslands and forests, such as lions.
Carnivorous beasts such as wild leopards and hyenas. If they are not careful, the team members may be buried in the belly of the beast at any time.
"Rumble..."
There was constant lightning in the sky, and Hansen greedily drank the rainwater falling from the sky with his mouth open. The rain was really heavy. In the night, what he could see was only about ten meters around, and occasionally a stream of raindrops.
Lightning flashed nearby, and Hansen could only see a vague glimpse. However, the roar of thunder echoed continuously around him.
"The rainy season is coming..." Hansen took out a ball of tobacco that had been turned into a pulp by the rain from his pocket, and smiled bitterly. He did not throw away the tobacco, but stuffed it into his mouth and took a big gulp.
As he chewed, the smell of tobacco stimulated the nerves in his mouth and made him feel more energetic.
"Hiss..."
A strange sound of metal friction echoed around. When he first heard this sound, Hansen didn't pay much attention, thinking it was the sound of lightning and thunder. But the frequency of the sound made Hansen quickly realize that this was unlikely.
It's the sound of lightning.
After careful identification, Hansen found that the source of the sound seemed to be relatively far away. And after a while, he seemed to hear other sounds.
"Burst! Burst, burst, burst..."
"Shoot!" Hansen no longer knows how many wars he has experienced. He is already very skilled in the use of guns and ammunition. He can even identify what type of gun is shooting when he hears the sound of gunfire from a distance! Identify it from the sound of gunfire.
, there were at least seven or eight guns firing at the same time, and what can be determined is that the shooter was very panicked. He fired the gun very haphazardly, and there was no coordination between the firepower! Such a shooting, if it weren't for a group of new recruits,
When encountering an enemy situation, they become nervous and shoot randomly. The result may be that their enemies are so terrifying that they are unable to attack reasonably!
Hansen became vigilant. Although the entire Congo was at war, this area close to the virgin forest was not the home of the war. It was impossible for the army to appear here. Unless they were pursued by them to Lendona, who was desperate.
"Are they nearby?" Hansen quickly came to his own conclusion. This conclusion is not absurd. There were not many people left in Leonardo's hands, and he was an exhausted army. He took advantage of the heavy rain to stay nearby for repairs.
, that is not impossible.
"Did they encounter ferocious beasts?" Hansen quickly analyzed a conjecture that was close to the truth. However, this was just his conjecture. At most, Leonardo's army encountered ferocious beasts like lions and rhinos.
In his concept, there was no such sensational monster yet.
"Captain, there is enemy information." Taking out the walkie-talkie wrapped in a plastic bag, Hansen quickly reported his findings to the captain.
The captain has also discovered this situation and is quickly moving towards him.
"Da da...burst..." The sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer. Hansen frowned and said, "Captain, do you want to wake everyone up?"
The captain didn't hesitate at all and said immediately: "This is necessary. Go and call everyone up and get ready for war immediately!"
"Yes!" Hansen nodded solemnly, stepped on the water under his feet, and strode towards the camp. The two of them were already nearly two hundred meters away from the camp. The distance of two hundred meters was only the blink of an eye.
"Connors, Delin, Nathan..." Hansen knocked down a simple tent set up by his teammates with one kick and shouted loudly, "Everyone, hurry up, there is an emergency!"
At this time, a flash of lightning flashed in the sky, and Hansen saw a bloody scene with such bright eyes.
There were a total of five team members in the tent. The teammates were originally sitting back to back, keeping each other warm and sleeping in this position. However, at this time, the bodies of the people Hansen called out were shrunken and their heads were drooped to the side.
There was only a layer of skin left, clinging to the bones on the body, and red blood flowed out of the seven orifices of the people, which was shocking, and the vitality had long been cut off.
"No!" Hansen's scalp felt numb, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he let out a shrill cry. Although he didn't know what happened, he knew that the five teammates in the tent had died tragically.
Taking advantage of the remaining light of the lightning, Hansen saw that there seemed to be countless small bugs squirming under the dry skin of his teammates. Moreover, these strange bugs seemed to have discovered his existence and were trying to break out of his body.
.
"What's going on?!" Hansen was shocked and angry. He grabbed his hair and screamed in pain. He didn't dare to get close to these teammates. Suddenly, he turned around hurriedly and faced the other teammate.
The tent ran away.
In that tent, there were still six team members living. They were also the last few team members.
Hansen turned on the flashlight he had never dared to turn on, and shined it on several team members. However, what made him even more sad and angry was that he found that these six team members, like the first five teammates, were huddled together.
However, Hansen discovered the cause of their deaths in his teammates.
On the exposed skin of the two team members, several leeches that had sucked blood were clinging tightly to them. These leeches were colorful and 20 centimeters long. Their bodies were swollen and thicker than the toes of an adult.
.
"Leech!" Hansen's teeth made a "clucking" sound. Having been fighting in the African grasslands for a long time, Hansen was naturally aware of this terrifying existence.
Flower leeches are a type of drought leech. They live by sucking the blood of humans and animals. They are highly toxic and can inject narcotic toxins into the host, so it is extremely difficult for the host to detect their presence during the blood-sucking process.
For this reason, these dozen team members were sucked and fucked while sleeping!
Hansen lifted up his trousers, took a look, and took a breath of cold air.
At some point, his calves were covered with these horrible little bugs, and many of them were swollen.
