After setting a departure date, I received a call from Captain Sun early the next morning and hurried downstairs. He and Wang Jie were already sitting in the car waiting for me.
After the meeting, Captain Sun explained the specific situation to me, saying that this case had a great impact and was taken seriously by the superiors. At present, the most important task of the police is search and rescue. As for the harmful things in the cave, they are mainly handed over to the armed police.
The army came to solve the problem. This army was well-equipped. The leader in charge of the team was named Wang. He had participated in anti-drug work on the national border in the early years and had achieved many military exploits.
Not long after, I met Captain Wang, a middle-aged man with a straight figure and a powerful posture.
He is short, with muscles all over his body, and wears a pair of black sunglasses. Although the sharpness of his eyes is obscured by a layer of glass lenses, you can still inadvertently catch a glimpse of some fierce killing aura from his peripheral vision.
——There is no doubt that this man has seen blood and killed people.
The large force was quickly assembled and divided into three vehicles, led by a police car. In the car sat me, Captain Sun, Wang Jie and two other policemen whose names I cannot name.
The second military jeep was occupied by the leader of the armed police force, Wang Dui, and the horse guide who had just been brought out from the detention center. The last military truck was followed by more than a dozen fully armed soldiers, all of whom were issued with live ammunition.
All of them looked majestic, even carrying two military dogs.
After the large army marched for two hours, we arrived at Matian Town. The local police station also sent a young officer to contact us and guide us up the mountain.
I originally planned to go to my uncle's house to take a look, but considering the tight time and heavy tasks of the large army's departure, I had no choice but to give up. After a brief rest, the team continued to set off and parked the car at a small area closest to Bear Man Ridge.
In the village, everyone got off the car and started walking.
Trekking on foot is naturally more strenuous than sitting in a car. This old forest is relatively dense and there are many mosquitoes. Within half an hour of walking, the surrounding scenery has changed from fertile fields to tangled leaves. In addition, it has just rained, and there are accumulations of dirt on the road.
The water is deep and the road is rugged and slippery.
We climbed over mountains and ridges and walked in the woods. After almost an hour, Captain Wang, who was walking in front of the team, raised his hand to stop and ordered everyone to rest where they were. At this time, someone felt thirsty, so Captain Wang ordered two young soldiers
I went to look for water nearby, and then I came over and discussed the next action plan with Captain Sun.
The two biggest leaders here are Team Sun and Captain Wang. However, the tasks assigned by the two are not consistent. Team Sun is mainly responsible for search and rescue, while the troops led by Captain Wang are responsible for combat and security work.
The two discussed for a long time. Suddenly Captain Sun turned around and pointed at me and introduced to Captain Wang, "This is a specially recruited officer from the police station. His name is Lin Feng. He is quite familiar with the environment of Xiongren Ridge. After entering the mountain, we may
If you want to divide your troops into two groups, then let him lead the way for you."
Captain Wang looked at me and nodded, but didn't say much. Although his eyes were hidden behind his sunglasses, I always felt that he seemed to look down on me.
It's right to think about it. My status is, at best, a specially recruited talent from the police station. At worst, I'm a "magic stick". Captain Wang is from the military. He's well-groomed and looks down on us unruly people.
It's normal.
While we were resting, a panicked shout suddenly came from the woods in front of us. We couldn't sit still and stood up one after another, looking at the direction of the figure and shouting,
"What happened up front?"
Soon I heard footsteps. The young soldier who was responsible for going out to find water just now appeared with another comrade on his back. He said nervously, "Oh no, Wang Chuan has been bitten by a snake!"
We were all worried and hurried forward to check. The young soldier reported what happened, saying that he and Wang Chuan (a comrade who was bitten by a snake) found a blister there, but before we could get water, the following
A poisonous snake with a triangular-pointed head jumped out and bit Wang Chuan on the leg.
I quickly took out a folding knife and cut open the trouser leg of the little soldier who was bitten by a poisonous snake. When I saw that the wound was bruised and edema had reached its limit, I hurriedly said to Captain Sun and others, "Hurry and prepare a first aid kit. This man seems to have been bitten by a poisonous snake."
Bite from a five-step snake!”
After some diagnosis and treatment, I applied snake medicine to the little soldier. Team Sun discussed with Captain Wang and decided to leave the injured person and rest where he was. Then he sent another soldier to accompany him, while the large force continued to move forward.
The large army continued to move forward and climbed over a large mountain. We finally arrived at the wasteland near Xiongren Ridge. I looked around for something to locate, and Captain Sun followed me and asked me how long it would take to reach the destination.
I pointed to the woods ahead and said that was the boundary of Xiongren Ridge. However, the terrain of this generation is particularly complex. Even people who live in the mountains will get lost if they can't find the road signs. I'm looking for the creek.
Only by finding the creek can we safely enter and exit such a complex terrain.
Team Sun quickly asked someone to search with me. A young soldier with sharp eyes found a small creek covered with dead leaves in the forest. We continued walking along the creek. After walking for a few minutes, our eyes suddenly opened up.
It shows a towering mountain top, with white mist scattered at the foot of the mountain and black clouds floating on the top of the mountain.
There is a dead silence in the deep mountains. Occasionally, the wind blows and stirs the leaves, causing a rustling sound. The whole forest seems to come alive, with teeth and claws showing, and the whole forest appears ferocious.
We looked back at the horse guide and asked him where the previous cave was.
Guide Ma thought for a long time before he said with a wilted head, "Two kilometers from here, halfway up the mountain, there should be a col. After descending from the col, the cave is hidden in a mess of leaves. It's very easy to see.
It’s hidden, I’m not sure I can find it.”
The target was right in front of us. We accelerated our pace and soon found the mountain pass covered by the fog.
This place is located deep in the mountains and canyons, with lush vegetation and thick shade covering the sky. Under the winding mountain col, towering ancient trees can be seen everywhere, some as high as two, three or four meters high, with a large number of branches and leaves crisscrossing each other, forming a canopy of pavilions.
Covering the clear sky, even during the day, the sky feels overcast and the sun cannot be seen at all.
When we got here, the horse guide's face turned a little pale, his gums trembled from time to time, and his feet felt like he was stepping on cotton, shivering as he walked.
Captain Sun discovered his cowardice and asked, "Why are you so afraid of being like this?" Guide Ma turned pale and said tremblingly, "We discovered the cave here a week ago. You should be careful, lest you go in.
None of them can get out."
I looked around and asked him where the cave was?
Guide Ma looked confused, shook his head and said he couldn't remember clearly, "It was raining heavily at the time and the scene was very chaotic. I can't remember which road I walked."
Hearing this answer, we all felt a little helpless. At this time, Captain Wang had already ordered the soldiers to camp in place, set up cordons and isolation zones, and then split the large army into several small teams, ordering these fully armed soldiers to
The little warriors spread out to look for each other.
