Chapter 276 Murder in the Rainy Night (seeking the moon)
The tent could not be fixed on the stone beams, so Sun Jian took people to move nearby rivers to use them to weigh down the tent.
There was still no barbecue game in the evening, only individual soldier rations.
There are many types of military rations in the world, including ready-to-eat cans, dried meat, fish fillets, chocolate and other foods.
In fact, how can there be so many types of real individual soldier rations?
Tin cans, and self-heating rice.
It's okay for these large troops to march with them, but it's simply unrealistic for individual soldiers to carry them with them.
For example, people like Yu Qingyang and others now have to bring a week's worth of food rations.
If this is food like tin cans and self-heating rice.
The food alone weighs dozens of kilograms, so there’s no need to bring anything else!
Therefore, the real individual soldier ration is high-energy compressed biscuits.
Compressed biscuits made from beef, flour, milk powder, and vegetables.
Such compressed biscuits are rich in nutrients, high in protein, and rich in various vitamins necessary for the human body.
The only thing I am sure of is that it is too hard and would be difficult to swallow if eaten dry.
However, if, like Yu Qingyang and the others, they boil some water with the alcohol stove they carry with them and put the military rations into it, the originally hard and difficult-to-swallow military rations will suddenly turn into a pot of delicious soup.
When you open the lid of the pot, the rich aroma comes out.
People can't help but salivate after smelling it.
After enjoying a delicious dinner, everyone washed themselves in the nearby mountain spring water and began to rest.
At this time, the three technical staff, Cheng Yaozeng, Zhao Jianhua, and Xiao Dong, and the translator Xiaomi were exhausted.
As soon as I got into the tent, within five minutes I was snoring like thunder.
When camping in the wild, someone must keep watch at night.
Especially in this primitive jungle.
It seemed that they were traveling more smoothly during the day, because there were so many of them, and the wild beasts did not dare to provoke them.
Furthermore, night is the time for wild animal hunting.
The vigil is naturally a matter for Sun Jian and the five of them.
They all come from the same team and have their own tacit understanding.
Sun Jian was in a group by himself and was on duty from midnight to eleven o'clock, and the others were in groups of two and were on duty in the second half of the night.
This arrangement is because the second half of the night is the time when people are most likely to feel sleepy.
Working in groups of two can prevent you from taking a nap and causing trouble.
Seeing Sun Jian arranging his duty, Yu Qingyang said nothing more.
He also didn’t falsely represent that he was working together straight away.
After running on the mountain road for a day, he was very tired at this time, and his eyelids were trembling.
Pull Xia Xue into the tent.
Xia Xue brought a lot of medicines, whether intentionally or unintentionally. She did not bring a tent, only a sleeping bag.
We can only share a tent with Yu Qingyang.
Although the beauty was by his side, Yu Qingyang was so tired during the day that he didn't even have the energy to chat.
I zipped up the tent, got into my sleeping bag, and soon fell asleep.
The weather in the mountains is more variable than the weather in June.
Just now the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, a gust of wind blew by, and large raindrops fell.
The originally dry creek first became watery, then gradually became a water surface, and water began to appear, flowing down the mountain along the creek.
The streams formed by such rainwater will not flow outside the mountains.
It won't flow very far before it will seep into the ground along the cracks in the rocks.
This is also the reason why although there is abundant rainfall in the mountains, there is a severe water shortage outside the mountains.
"Boss, Ou Yang, Zhao Gang, get up quickly, there's something going on!" At around three o'clock in the morning, Lu Fan on duty called Sun Jian and the others in a low voice.
"What's going on?" Sun Jian came out of the tent with a gun.
The rain hit me and flowed down my face.
But Sun Jian didn't care about this.
It’s not like I have never experienced heavier rain than this.
"Boss, look, we are in big trouble!" Lu Fan pointed to the depths of the jungle.
"Holy shit, wolves?"
At this time, Zhao Gang and Ou Yang also came out of the tent with guns in hand, wiped the rain from their faces, and shouted softly.
There are more than a dozen pairs of green eyes in the jungle in the distance, like ghosts.
This isn't a ghost, it's a coyote.
In the mountains and forests, there are more terrifying beasts than tigers and bears.
This means they are being targeted by a group of bushrangers.
"Boss, the wolves are still gathering. Look, there are a few more pairs of eyes!" Zhang Liao came over and said in a deep voice.
Wild beasts like wolves are very difficult to deal with. Once they are targeted, they will fight to the death.
"Ou Yang, go wake them all up and ask them to stay in the tent and not come out for the time being!" Sun Jian decisively ordered Ou Yang: "Zhao Gang, you are responsible for the three o'clock direction, and Lu Fan is responsible for the six o'clock direction.
Zhang Liao, nine o'clock direction, stay alert! Don't act rashly!"
"yes!"
The four people agreed quietly.
This is a real-life version of Murder on a Rainy Night.
Lu Fan and Zhang Liao took off their raincoats, holding their guns and staring in the direction of their defense.
Although wearing a raincoat can protect them from rain, it makes it inconvenient for them to move around.
At this time, Sun Jian, Zhao Gang, and Ou Yang were soaked by the rain.
However, no one can care about this at this time.
Holding the steel gun tightly in his hand, he secretly prayed that the wolves would never attack.
As long as we wait until daybreak, the wolves will naturally disperse.
Yu Qingyang was woken up from his sleep.
Hearing that his group was being targeted by wolves, Yu Qingyang felt very nervous.
This was the first time he encountered such a situation.
Qiang Zi kept calm and found the May 4th pistol he carried with him.
"How many wolves are there?"
"It's not clear yet, but it looks like there are at least twenty of them!"
"What now?"
"Mr. Yu, please stay in the tent first and don't come out!"
"Okay! Please pay attention to safety!" Yu Qingyang nodded.
This is not the time to show off your courage.
If these people without military training go out, they will only cause chaos.
"Let Xiaomi communicate with the two guides and let them help defend!" Yu Qingyang explained again.
Both guides are experienced hunters and carry long guns.
However, they used domestically produced Type 56 assault rifles.
China calls it Type 56 submachine gun.
The inventory of this kind of gun on the African continent is no less than that of the AK47.
Many national armies and armed organizations use this kind of assault rifle imitating the AK47.
Of course, this is not the version used domestically, but the export version.
"Understood!" Ou Yang nodded and left Yu Qingyang's tent.
Then he woke up the others one by one and told them to stay in the tent and not come out.
At this time, the two guides had already taken the initiative to leave the tent and went outside to assist in the defense.
As guides and experienced hunters, they naturally remain vigilant enough.
Ou Yang called people from tent to tent. Although the sound was not loud, it was enough to wake up the vigilant hunters.
The rain has stopped, just like when it rained, without warning. After a gust of wind, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.
It was already four o'clock in the morning, and dawn was about to arrive.
"Yangzi, what should we do? Can Sun Jian and the others defeat the wolves?
I heard that wolves are so powerful that even tigers dare not provoke them!" Xia Xue worriedly grabbed Yu Qingyang's arm and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay, Sun Jian and the others are the most powerful soldiers in our country. More than twenty wolves are just a piece of cake for them!" Yu Qingyang was also a little nervous, but still patted Xia Xue's hand and comforted her softly.
"How come there are wolves? Didn't you say there are no wolves in Ajigeria?" Xiao Dong in another tent clenched his fists nervously.
"Bodhisattva bless! Bodhisattva bless! Let the wolves leave quickly!" Cheng Yaozeng clasped his hands and prayed softly.
Because everyone brought single-person tents, Cheng Yaozeng and the others couldn't comfort each other even if they wanted to.
I can only stay alone in the tent, either nervous, worried, or praying.
"Ouch..."
"Ouch...ouch..."
A wolf howl came from deep in the jungle.
"Everyone, pay attention!" Sun Jian shouted in a deep voice.
The wolf is a very organized and disciplined animal.
While hunting, all the wolves remained quiet.
This wolf howl is the signal to launch an attack.
Of course, it could also be an order to retreat.
The air was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
The seven people held the steel guns in their hands tightly.
When confronting a pack of wolves, you must not attack first.
Otherwise, it will really be a fight to the death.
Because after a confrontation, you may be able to scare away the wolves with your momentum.
But once you shoot and injure or kill a wolf, it is tantamount to forging a vendetta.
Wolves are very vengeful animals. If you don't kill them, you will be waiting for endless revenge in the future.
Obviously, this wolf howl was an order to attack.
More than twenty coyotes burst out of the bushes and rushed toward the temporary campsite.
"beat!"
Sun Jian shouted calmly.
Shoot first.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will move first!
The five of them, Sun Jian, are all special forces, and they are among the most elite special forces in the Republic.
Marksmanship is achieved by feeding bullets.
Facing the wolves, there was no panic at all.
The two guides were also good and experienced.
In the first round of attacks, the wolves did not get any advantage at all. They left seven or eight corpses behind and retreated into the bushes.
"Ouch...ow...ow!"
"Ouch...owoo!"
The alpha wolf hiding deep in the jungle howled angrily.
Again more than twenty coyotes jumped out from behind the bushes.
It can be seen that the cunning nature of wolves is not revealed by more than twenty wolves at all.
It looked like there were at least thirty of them, not the dozen that were revealed.
Unfortunately, they encountered the most elite veterans of the Republic, the Black Berets.
There was a burst of gunfire, and the coyote left seven or eight corpses again.
"Ouch...ow..."
"Bang!"
Ou Yang, who had never fired, decisively fired when the alpha wolf howled again.
The howling stopped with the sound of gunshots.
Ou Yang has been looking for traces of the alpha wolf.
Finally I caught it.
Ou Yang used the facts to tell the alpha wolf that it was not safe to hide behind a big tree.
As soon as the leader wolf died, the rest of the pack suddenly lost its backbone, howling and escaping into the bushes.
After several hours of organization and more than an hour of confrontation, they were finally defeated by my heroic veterans within a few minutes.
All that was left was the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air and wolf corpses on the ground.
After confirming that the wolves had dispersed, Sun Jian notified Yu Qingyang and others to come out.
"Good job!" Yu Qingyang smiled and punched Sun Jian in the chest, "If I had known that it was so easy to fight off the wolves, I would have come out to have fun!"
"Mr. Yu, it was a fluke this time! Thanks to Ou Yang for killing the wolf in time!
Otherwise it will be very troublesome!
This is a big wolf pack, with thirty or forty wolves!”
In reality, there are usually about ten wolves in a pack.
A pack of thirty or forty wolves is already considered a large pack.
Packs of hundreds of wolves are rare.
Even if they do appear, it is usually the result of several wolf packs temporarily combining to hunt.
The two guides were chirping and giving thumbs up to Sun Jian and the others.
This is to praise Sun Jian and others for their greatness.
At this time, Xiaomi and others also came out.
"Xiaomi, tell them thank you for their help!
Go back and give them two more sheep!" Yu Qingyang said to the translator Xiaomi.
The guide's salary is half a sheep a day.
This is already a sky-high price among the Berbers.
As a semi-nomadic people, sheep are their property, and in remote tribes, sheep are more popular than cash.
Translator Xiaomi said a few words to the guide.
“Mr. Yu, they said thank you for your generosity and God bless you!
They killed two wolves, and they are willing to give their prey to you!"
"Thank them for me! These wolves, if you ask them to help peel off the skin, you won't need the meat!
All we want is wolf skin!"
Yu Qingyang had eaten wolf meat several times in his previous life. To be honest, it was not delicious at all.
Although wolf meat is said to have the effects of replenishing qi, aphrodisiac, etc., the meat is too raw and has an indescribable taste through the aniseed flavor.
Another thing, this is a tropical rainforest, and there is no way to preserve wolf meat. It will go bad before noon.
So the best way is to just have wolf skin.
At this time, Zhao Gang and others had already carried the killed wolves to the stone beam and piled them into a pile.
Xiaomi said a few words to the two guides. The guide nodded, took out the knife he carried with him, and started peeling the skin.
For hunters, skinning is a basic skill.
Cheng Yaozeng and others also forgot their fear when they saw the wolf corpses lying on the ground.
Excitedly, I stepped forward to help the two guides.
Sun Jian and others did not relax their vigilance.
At this time, the genius was just beginning to dawn.
It is also the peak period of beast activity.
Now that the wolves are gone, who knows if other predators will come to fight the autumn wind.
The carnivores in the jungle are not only coyotes, but also leopards, wild dogs, spotted hyenas, etc.
If anyone told him again that there were no leopards or spotted hyenas in Ajigeria, Yu Qingyang would dare to spit in his face.
They also say that there are no wolves in Ajigeria!
What is on this ground?
In order to deal with these wolf corpses, Yu Qingyang and the others did not move forward.
Sun Jian and others threw the skinned wolf carcass under the stone cliff.
The wolf skin was spread out and exposed to the sun on the stone beam.
This is the simplest way to deal with it.
In addition to the wolf skin, all the wolf teeth were also pried off by the guides and given to Yu Qingyang.
"Come on, let's see each other! Each of you pick some and go back as a souvenir!" Yu Qingyang said to everyone with a smile.
Northerners have the habit of using dog teeth as necklaces.
Dog teeth can ward off evil spirits.
Wolf teeth are naturally more precious than dog teeth.
No one was polite to Yu Qingyang. They had long been jealous. Even if Yu Qingyang didn't give it to him, they planned to ask for a few wolf teeth.
If you go back and process it into a necklace, your trip to the mountains is not in vain.
It’s lively down the cliff!
More than a dozen wolf carcasses attracted many scavengers.
Before it gets dark, they gather under the cliff to enjoy a delicious meal.
As for Yu Qingyang and the others, they could only eat the wild fruits found by the guide and drink thick soup cooked with military rations.
