Chapter 2450 Unable to rescue (two chapters in one)
The forest area in front of us is not small, and it will take a long time to pass through it.
In addition, it is still raining, so the road conditions in the woods are much worse than usual.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead now entered the woods. Although he was anxious to pass through as soon as possible, the road conditions did not allow it, so he could only pass slowly.
The rain falls from the sky and falls on the trees. It is blocked by the leaves and some places cannot get rain.
When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked through the woods, he tried to choose a place with less rain.
Although he is wearing a raincoat, it cannot block the rain 100%.
Choose to travel in places where the rain is lighter or where the rain does not get wet, so as to minimize your body getting wet from the rain.
"hiss……"
There was a sound in the grass not far away. When I first heard the sound, I thought there was a snake in the grass.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was more or less attacked by snakes when he passed through this kind of woods.
Now that he heard the neighing sound, he immediately became alert. He clenched the dagger in his hand and looked at the grass not far away warily.
The grass ahead is the only way to pass, so we have no choice but to keep walking forward.
If the snake in the grass takes the initiative to attack, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead will not mind giving him a ride.
However, things were different than imagined.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood outside the grass and waited patiently for two or three minutes. The snake that hissed in the grass showed no sign of attack.
He didn't want to waste any more time with the other party, so he took the initiative to push aside the grass and walked in.
As a result, after taking only a few steps, he discovered some strange plants swaying.
These plants look like morning glory and make a snake-like hissing sound when shaken.
When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw these plants, the vigilance on his face eased, and then he cursed.
"Damn, it turns out it's not the sound made by a snake, so I wasted a lot of time."
At this time, the sound of wind and rain suddenly became louder, and the rain fell from the sky, twice as much as before.
The wind could not pose a great threat to the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, because he was already in the woods. With these trees blocking the strong wind, the wind falling on him became very small.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stepped over the hissing plants and moved forward quickly.
After a while.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead after walking in the woods for more than an hour, finally walked out of the woods.
The mountains in the distance feel so close, but looking at them is like running to death.
Now that the mountain is so close, it would take much longer to reach the foot of the mountain than I imagined.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead now regretted choosing the distant mountains to find a new shelter.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. You have spent a lot of time getting here. If you give up now, the sunk cost will be too great, and you will only have to go to the dark side.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his head and looked at the cloudy sky, praying in his heart that the weather would not continue to worsen. Then he took steps and continued towards his destination.
…………
The sound of wind and rain intertwined and echoed in the air. In such bad weather, there were almost no people in the wild.
Some caravans who did not know that there had been an attack by alien beasts in Zecheng chose to stop their journey because the weather was too bad, hide in some safe places, and wait for the weather to improve before setting off for Zecheng.
"Stop, don't run."
A figure ran wildly in the rain, followed closely by several soldiers holding weapons.
Some residents heard the noise outside and stuck their heads out to watch.
When they saw the soldiers chasing someone, they quickly looked away and closed the doors and windows of their homes for fear of getting into trouble.
The embarrassed figure who was escaping fell over the guardrail and fell to the ground, splashing a lot of water.
The soldiers who were in hot pursuit finally caught up with the man. When he saw the target getting up and trying to escape, a soldier stepped forward and kicked him over.
"ah……"
The embarrassed figure who was kicked screamed in agony, his facial features were distorted in pain, and his face was pale.
He struggled to get up and escape, but at this time the soldiers had already pounced on him and controlled him.
"Sir, I was wronged!"
"If you are a good person, why are you running away?"
"I-I have something going on at home."
"Stop blabbering and come with us back to the Yamen."
The soldier punched the opponent several times, and shrill wails could be heard in the street.
Some residents secretly looked through the cracks in the door to see what was going on outside. When they saw that the caught suspect had been punched several times, they were so frightened that they trembled and did not dare to look outside again.
After a morning search, the soldiers arrested many people.
Almost every suspect who was caught cried out for injustice, but the soldiers turned a deaf ear to this and put them in prison cars and sent them to the Yamen for interrogation.
It is an old residential area, and the houses here are several decades old.
The conditions of the residents living here are not good and they cannot eat meat twice a month.
At this moment, in a decent-looking house, a rebel was sitting at the table drinking tea leisurely.
"Boom."
Suddenly there was a thunderous explosion, which made people feel as if the thunder was in their ears.
Ordinary people living here were trembling with fear, and some children were frightened to tears by this terrible thunder.
The rebel looked calm, put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his left hand and touched the scar on his face, and murmured to himself.
"It's still raining today, so it seems like we have to make some changes to our plans."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
When the rebel with a scar on his face heard the movement, his calm expression disappeared, his eyes became sharp, he turned his head and looked at the door, holding the weapon on his waist with his hand.
"It's me."
A familiar voice sounded outside the door. The rebel with a scar on his face got up and walked to the door, then opened it.
A short figure appeared at the door and walked in immediately after the door opened.
"Why are you here?" The rebel with a scar on his face closed the door and asked his companions.
According to the original plan, everyone entered the city and acted separately.
Now that he came to the door, it must be something happened.
The short rebel took off his raincoat and hung it on a shelf not far away. Then he came to the table and sat down, took an empty teacup and poured himself a glass of water.
The rebel with the scar on his face was not in a hurry. He came to the table and sat down, patiently waiting for the other party's reply.
I drank a cup of hot tea to warm myself up, as the chill caused by the heavy rain subsided quickly.
The short rebel said, "I met many soldiers on my way back. They were guarding various intersections. I couldn't go back, so I had to come to you."
The rebel with a scar on his face frowned when he heard this, "I don't know why, but the soldiers' search power increased this morning."
The short rebel laughed when he heard this. When the other party saw him laughing, he said unhappily, "What's so funny about this?"
"The reason why those soldiers stepped up their search efforts is because I killed several people in the morning."
"Didn't we just kill a few people? There's no need to go to war in such a big way!"
"Those people I killed were weapons suppliers."
The rebels with scars on their faces fell silent when they learned the identities of the dead people.
If only ordinary soldiers were killed, although the government would be furious, they would not intensify their search efforts like now.
After all, every weapons supplier has a backer. Now that they have been killed, the backer must be very angry.
This puts pressure on officials to deploy more soldiers to hunt down insurgents.
"Are you being too impulsive?" said the insurgent with a scar on his face.
At the beginning, they planned to deal with the task of dealing with weapons suppliers, but that was only carried out when the plan was about to end.
Now that a group of people have sneaked into the city, the plan is less than a third of the way. Killing the weapons supplier now will make the implementation of some subsequent tasks much more difficult.
The short rebel was an unruly person. Hearing the questions raised by his companions, he said nonchalantly.
"It's okay. It won't have much impact on the overall situation. If you feel the pressure is too much, you can find an opportunity to leave now and I will help you with your tasks."
The rebel with the scar on his face felt a little angry after hearing this, and an unhappy expression suddenly appeared on his face.
"Huh, I'm afraid that other people will be affected. For me, even if the task becomes more difficult, I can still handle it easily."
Two rebels drank tea and chatted.
There was a loud noise in the street, and you could tell that soldiers had arrived in this neighborhood.
There were knocks on some houses, but the people inside did not respond at first, pretending that they were not at home.
The soldiers who knocked on the door ran out of patience and kicked the door open. Then several soldiers rushed into the room to search for the rebels.
There were cries one after another, and some people were taken away by the soldiers. Although some people were not taken away, they couldn't help but shed tears when they looked at the messy room.
These ordinary people can only cry and complain, and there is no need to think about resisting.
Once you disobey these soldiers, you are equivalent to a rebel.
When the time comes, these soldiers will be able to kill them, and they will have nowhere to redress their grievances if they lose their lives.
The two rebels listened to the commotion on the street, and their calm expressions became somewhat disturbed.
At this time, the soldiers began to approach their location. If the other party came in to search, there was some probability that they would be captured.
"What are you going to do if the searching soldiers want to take us away later?" said the rebel with a scar on his face.
"What else can we do? Just kill them." said the short rebel.
"..." The insurgent with the scar on his face remained silent. He didn't like confrontation with soldiers very much, but when it got to that point, he could only kill the soldiers and then escape to hide somewhere else.
Footsteps in the street were getting closer, and two insurgents hid their weapons in a compartment in the ceiling.
Just when they thought that the soldiers were about to knock on the door, a large number of soldiers not far from them suddenly stopped and turned around to leave.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the two rebels looked at each other, confused in their hearts.
"How did they leave?" said the rebel with a scar on his face.
"You ask me, how do I know?" said the short rebel.
The door of the house opens.
Two rebels came out of the room and stood under the eaves looking into the distance.
Although it is raining now, the rain curtain blocks the view and makes it difficult to see the situation in the distance.
But standing under the eaves, you can still see a lot of soldiers leaving.
The soldiers who came to search for rebels in this neighborhood all left for unknown reasons, not even taking away some of the suspects they had just arrested.
From this we can see that something important must have happened.
If it wasn't a particularly serious matter, it would be impossible for the soldiers to just leave these suspects who were finally captured where they were.
Many houses on both sides of the street had their doors open, and they were whispering curiously.
A few people stepped forward to rescue the captured relatives. Some people did it first, and others followed suit.
After a while, all the captured people returned to their families.
The two rebels frowned, thinking of a possibility.
"Have our people been discovered?" said the rebel with a scar on his face.
"It's very likely that those soldiers can leave in such a hurry." said the short rebel.
"Should we go take a look?"
"Um."
The two rebels left the room wearing raincoats and moved quickly under the eaves of some houses.
The location they headed to was exactly the direction the soldiers left. In order not to attract the attention of the soldiers, they kept a considerable distance.
With their own strong strength, the two rebels will naturally not lose their target.
After following the soldiers all the way, about six or seven minutes passed and passed through several streets. Two rebels heard the sound of fighting.
"boom."
"Bang."
"Click."
The sound of fierce fighting resounded in all directions and could be heard from far away.
Many soldiers came from all directions and surrounded the scene where fierce fighting was breaking out.
Further away, you can also see some soldiers carrying heavy weapons.
Seeing this kind of battle, the faces of the two rebels turned ugly.
It was not night now. Once there was a conflict with so many soldiers, even if the two rebels were strong, there was a high probability that they would be entangled and unable to escape.
"What should we do now?"
"If we rush in for rescue, we might end up with the same fate."
"You mean to wait and see what happens and go to the rescue if there is a chance?"
"Yes, this is the only thing we can do now. If he is caught, we can just kill a few more minions to avenge him."
The two rebels discussed in low voices and finally gave up and rushed into the siege to rescue their companions.
It's not that they are ruthless. They had already discussed this situation before coming.
If you can save, then save, and if you can't, don't force it. This is the consensus of all rebels.
