Wandering

Chapter 165
Not long after my 20th birthday, I went abroad for the first time in my life.But I didn't go through customs, I didn't have a passport, and I didn't even have a single thing to prove my identity.I entered the country illegally and arrived at the border of a certain country in Central and Western Asia.

The helicopter flew very low, almost rubbing against rocks and sparse treetops, using the terrain to fly at an ultra-low altitude to avoid radar detection.Looking out from the plane, the feeling is full of vastness and desolation.I saw the prairie for the first time, and the desert for the first time.I was very surprised to find that the boundary between yellow and green is so obvious in the air, and the flowing sand dunes are moving to push the boundary of the engulfing oasis.After leaving the border, fly along the root of a mountain range.On the left are rolling gray and white mountains, and on the right is a desolate Gobi.

Nothing exotic, not even human.I grew up in the mountains, but the mountains here are very different from the famous mountains and rivers in the south of China.The rocks are steep and weird, with obvious signs of wind erosion, and the vegetation is very sparse, mostly shrubs and almost no big trees.The infrared-absorbing action suit I issued is not a yellow-green camouflage color, but a gray-and-white camouflage color, which is more suitable for concealment in this terrain environment.

Right on time, I was dropped off to the scheduled pick-up location together with the equipment.I was the only one, and the other five people hadn't joined me yet.My task is to support the logistics. I have to wait for the five of them to evacuate to the temporary camp after the successful operation, replenish supplies, and then rush to the place where the helicopter picks us up according to the scheduled route.

It's normal to send six team members who have a tacit understanding with each other to act at the same time, but why is it our team?This has something to do with specialties. Our group has at least two thieves, Master and Ghost.The task is to recover a stolen document, or steal it if it is not possible.There's a long story to be said about this stolen document, involving even myself.It is a list.

The training camp I participated in in the depths of the Qinling Mountains has gone through five sessions so far, and I participated in the second session. In that session, all [-] of us were men.But after our third training camp, many girls came, and one of them was named "Lily".This lily is very gorgeous. It is said that one of her specialties is "charm". Of course, the nondescript word "psychological confusion" is written on the registration.She also has a specialty, which is to stun the opponent without touching the body, which is probably similar to the method of a practitioner.

She ended up with an A, which is pretty rare, I only got a B, and only one person in our group got an A.Of course, I hid my true strength back then, and my cultivation was still shallow at that time.Lily is a rare talent, and she is smart and proficient in interpersonal relationships.After she came out of the training camp, she was transferred directly to the headquarters of our organization.

The reason why she was able to get in touch with the most confidential high-level executives of this organization was that her background was also investigated, so there was almost no doubt about her innocence.But the core staff did not think of another thing. For practitioners, it is not only the secular background that is important, but the origin of the teacher is the key point.But the core personnel at the headquarters are not from the spiritual world like Director Gu, and they are still inspected according to traditional political review methods.In the end, no one thought that Lily was a "spies".But I figured this out later and didn't remind others.

When Lily stole the information, she only wanted to make a copy silently, so that it might be difficult to be discovered.But unfortunately, when she stole the list, someone broke through, so she simply shot to stun the person, and took away the original documents.What is that list?It is the contact map of the distribution of all institutions and potential personnel of our organization across the country.For example, Wucheng has my name, code name, contact information, real identity and so on.Such a list is very sensitive, and many people are unwilling to reveal their identities, especially practitioners, who are even more reluctant to let others know that they are "secret agents" of government agencies.

If the list falls into the hands of an organization with ulterior motives, it may become a means of coercion and manipulation. You must know that these people have special abilities, and once they are used to do bad things, the consequences will be disastrous.From the government's point of view, it does not want this list to be leaked, and it is not appropriate to make this kind of secret operation in the country public.At the same time, it is impossible for these people with supernatural powers to be honest and gentlemen. Since they can work for the government, they may be bought by others.Mastering this list is tantamount to mastering a huge and terrifying resource.

What is even more frightening is that this list has been taken abroad.Lily gave it to a person named Fujie, who was her "master" according to investigation.Originally, it was not our agency's turn to intervene in this kind of matter, but the leaders of the headquarters made a decision out of some considerations-send their own people to get it back.It is very risky to do so. Although we are all supernatural beings, many of us train hastily, such as me.However, the first consideration of the headquarters leaders is not the safety of the team members, but their own status and the interests of the organization.

Fu Jie, who calls himself Fu Yinyu, male, is from Huzhou, Zhejiang.He is 42 years old this year, and his whereabouts are unknown when he ran away from home that year.That's all we have about the opponent and nothing more is recorded.I guessed that he must be a practitioner, and the word "Yinyu" must be a name of a dharma or something.But as far as I know, I have never heard of such a person in the practice world.

The temporary camp I am hiding now is the location chosen by Lao Gai, who was born as a sniper.It is about 500 meters away from the mountains on the east side, surrounded by huge rocks.From all directions around, this is a blind spot for shooting, and it is also a position that ricochets cannot hit.The surrounding terrain is relatively open and it is difficult to covertly approach from the front, and there is no way for small bombers to shoot grenades in.If you want to attack, it is difficult to attack with light weapons, unless you use heavy artillery to bombard them.On the east side of the camp, there are several rolling hills and intermittent ravines, which happen to be the way to evacuate into the mountains.The direct response point of the helicopter is to turn over a mountain pass in the valley on the other side.

It is impossible to bring too much equipment in a sneak attack, not even dry food, and ammunition is limited.All supplies and supplies that may be used are left in this temporary camp.One person is needed to guard the camp. If they are found, I will be responsible for covering them if there are pursuers when they evacuate.My specialty is self-defense, and my night vision ability is particularly strong, so I was sent to guard the camp, and I was also prepared to rescue people in case of melee or when the group was trapped.One of the reasons why I didn't take part in the direct action was also because of the language barrier. The general master and Lao Gai in our group were professional soldiers, and later they had special training in Russian and Arabic.

The hiding place of Fu Jie is in an abandoned ancient city ruins in the Gobi Desert. It is said that this is a secret stronghold. Fu Jie imitated the training camp model of our organization and is also training special operations personnel.That place may have been very prosperous 1000 years ago, but now I am afraid that only experts in archaeological exploration and thieves who are desperate for money will occasionally visit it.The invasion operation started at 02:30 am, and the evacuation rendezvous time was not until dawn at 05:30 am.Although I am a little worried, I think with the cooperation of the five of them, it should be no problem to steal just one item. Ming Qiang also snatched it, as long as the opponent is not a regular army.Of course, in addition to stealing things, there is another requirement for the task-it is best to find Fu Jie himself, and ask whether this list has been circulated and who it was given to.If it doesn't work, kill them directly.It sounds cruel but also very realistic.

The night in the Gobi is bleak and infinite, and even the stars in the sky are shining coldly.There is a thin moon in the sky, there is no wind or cloud, but the air is extremely cold!He listened vigilantly to the movement around him, and at the same time looked at the stars and the moon in the sky boredly, and suddenly found a faint circular halo gradually appeared around the moon.This halo became more and more obvious.After about a quarter of an hour, the halo around the moon almost turned into a very bright halo, but the hook-like outline of the moon itself became blurred.When I was looking at the sky, I didn't know that an extremely violent wind and sandstorm was sweeping in.

When the wind just started to blow, I vaguely heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping from far away.After a while, the wind suddenly became stronger, and there were sounds like small animals running around. In fact, it was not small animals running around, but scattered stones rolling around.Gradually, the sound was not rolling, but running and hitting!
The ancients said in a poem outside the Great Wall: "A river of crushed stones is as big as a bucket, and the wind blows all over the ground with stones walking around." This is by no means an exaggeration.The wind and sand covering the sky blocked the sight, and it was impossible to see or hear anything around.I don't know which direction the wind is coming from, because there are whistling sounds in the cracks in the rocks on all sides.There is still a little fire in the darkness, it is the sparks splashed by the flying gravel on the rock.Some people read news reports that all the windows of trains in the northwest were shattered by sand and dust, and strong winds even derailed trains. They may not believe it.But the sandstorm I experienced definitely has this kind of power.Fortunately, my hiding place is very good, otherwise everyone would be swept away.

I began to worry about the other five companions. Can they evacuate in such a wind and sand?However, wind and sand is fair, and it will also affect the opponent.Lao Gai and the others withdrew, but they were late and the mission failed.

The last time for the agreed gathering was 05:30 in the morning, but the radio communication was interrupted due to the sand and dust, and I couldn't contact anyone, so I could only wait at the same place.Around six o'clock, the wind and sand gradually subsided, but did not stop.In my ears, I heard a faint rhythmic sound coming from a distance. This is not the rolling of gravel, but the sound of human footsteps.There are four people in total.One of them had heavier footsteps and smaller strides, and he was probably carrying someone on his back.

I hurriedly took cover with the assault rifle in my hand, and shouted: "Bai He!"

A voice came from afar: "There are thorns!"

I was taken aback when I heard that there was something wrong with the password Xiaoxiao answered.If the answer is "beautiful", the task is successful.If the answer is "flowers blooming", the mission is successful but there are pursuers exposed.If the answer is "Flowers wither", it is a safe withdrawal but the task has not been completed.And "thorny" is the worst situation - there will be chasing soldiers after the mission fails!
Everyone was injured, but except for the carpenter, the others suffered minor injuries, most of which were scratched by flying stones in the storm.Carpenter was unlucky. He had a fracture in his calf and a 7.62 caliber rifle bullet pierced his leg.After being bandaged urgently to stop the bleeding, Xiaoxiao carried her back.

Their failure in this operation was very useless, and they were discovered almost as soon as they entered the ruins of the ancient city.Then they were surrounded in an abandoned temple. There were many people on the other side, all of whom were using Soviet-made weapons, and they were obviously well-trained.

These five people were already the prey of the trap. Fortunately, there are the boss and the ghost in the team.During the gun battle, the ghost spirit discovered that this ancient temple had an underground mechanism.But this mechanism is very strange, it can only be opened from the inside.There was no time to find another door to open, so the boss got in through a gap that only had the mouth of a bowl collapsed, entered an underground secret room, and opened the mechanism according to the ghost spirit's instructions.A tunnel appeared behind the shrine and led into a passage deep underground. At the end of the passage was a secret temple. The basements on both sides of the temple were actually two ancient tombs.

Originally, this was already a dead end, but the tomb robbers of unknown era saved them.There is actually a robbery hole in the tomb on the left, which was directly opened at the bottom of the tomb, and was discovered by ghosts.According to the ghost spirit, it was the work of a master. The hole was drilled very beautifully, and there was almost no wasted effort to make another shovel.The hole is slightly wider than the shoulders, and there is a faint cold wind coming from it - at least it shows that it is still open and has not completely collapsed.

The ghost spirit opened the way in front, and behind the small pad, five people filed into the robbery hole.After drilling for a distance of about 800 meters, it actually got out behind a small earth bag outside the remains of the ancient city wall.The opening of this robbery hole was originally hidden, but it probably collapsed and exposed it after a long time.It was said that they had left the city safely, but they were found again immediately.Being exposed to gunpoint in the Gobi Desert where there are no concealment conditions is like waiting to die. Fortunately, a large dust temporarily blocked the pursuers.

In the wind and sand, it is impossible to tell the direction, but the old leader who leads the team has a spatial positioning ability that is different from ordinary people. As long as he walks, he can leave a clear map in his mind.He led the whole team through the wind and sand to find the temporary camp accurately.All the people came back, but the trouble came later-the pursuers also came, and I don't know how they followed them in the wind and sand?
