The Twenty-Sixth Shot

  Because the car had already been fitted with anti-skid chains on the spare tire, although it shook slightly when starting off, Zhao Zhong steadily drove the car out.

  The jeep, driving in a straight line, kicked up a fascinating whirl of ice and snow behind it, which looked even more astonishing than the water spray brought up by driving on the surface. When the road engineering team cheered, Xu De didn't worry too much about it. From the point of view of the gradually decreasing wind force, as long as Zhao Zhong had confidence in his driving skills, the two would not have too many problems.

  "Alright, kids, we're also setting off."

  "Oh!"

  It was unclear when it started, but Xu Chang began to have a somewhat rough demeanor. This wasn't because he didn't respect the lower-ranking soldiers, but his mood had already become excited. Being able to fight against the blizzard once more before leaving the plateau made him feel some hot blood boiling up.

  "Sha Zi Gou? Isn't this name a bit inauspicious?"

  Songba's muttering to himself as he was about to leave still lingered in Xu De's ears. For these highland guides who trusted, rather than worshipped the Snow Mountain God, this was indeed a problem worth worrying about. Otherwise, Xu De wouldn't have revealed the secret of Sha Guai due to the urgent situation, which had been hidden deep within his heart all along.

  Bang!...... Bang!...... Bang bang, bang bang bang.

  A sudden loud noise like firecrackers came from afar, and Xu Chang, who was shouting and accelerating while hugging a wine bottle, was shocked awake along with Xu De. The two looked at each other in dismay, both knowing it was the sound of gunfire.

  Could it be that Sha Zi Gou is really an unlucky place? Xu De didn't dare to imagine.

  Although Xu Chang only called a group of warriors to go up, as the leader of the troops, Li Hao, the instructor of the Road Engineering Brigade, naturally had the responsibility to follow up and take a look.

  Running behind the three-wheeled motorcycle, the team's speed was not slow, and a 3-kilometer cross-country run with a load was nothing for the road construction team's warriors. In such weather, it can also accelerate blood circulation and help keep the body warm.

  When he saw Sha Zi Ao from afar, Li Hao couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "This is truly a solitary boat in the vast ocean!"

  On the vast Gobi Desert, there are only two stone mountains standing upright, as if they were the legendary "heavenly stones" of ancient times, and can only be said to be a natural masterpiece of nature.

  Although the scout's report said that there were signs of human activity in Sha Zi Gou, Li Hao did not rush to order the troops to stop. Not to mention that the troops themselves would put some invisible pressure on the people hiding in Sha Zi Gou as they marched by in an orderly manner, even if they wanted to stop and search, they had to wait until they reached the front of Sha Zi Gou.

  The vast Gobi desert stretched out before them, and apart from the Dumb Valley, there was nowhere else to hide. Either the people from earlier had escaped, or they were hiding somewhere in the Dumb Valley. Li Hao didn't believe that anyone would dare to be reckless in front of the troops if they were still in the valley.

  "Bang!" A crisp sound, Li Hao was still leading the way in a sprint, focusing on thinking about who might be hiding in the stupid valley, when a snow flower splashed up on the snowy ground in front of the team's lead motorcycle.

  "Gunfire! Take cover!"

  Sharp-eyed Li Hao immediately spotted the gunshot, and as he shouted for the troops to take cover, no one hesitated. Even the three-wheeled motorcycle quickly moved in front of the troops' column formation. Three soldiers also jumped off the vehicle and began observing the situation together with the help of the three-wheeled motorcycle's cover.

  Although the road engineering team rarely conducts live ammunition training, this does not mean that they are unfamiliar with the sound of gunfire in the snowy mountains. To this day, there are still many mountain villagers who make a living by hunting, and from time to time, they also give border patrol soldiers a surprise.

  The warriors lying on the ground did not say much, their excited eyes all looked at Li Hao. At this time, only the instructor can decide everything, and in the vast Gobi wilderness, there is only one three-wheeled vehicle that can cover one person but cannot cover a dozen people.

  "We are..."

  He raised his right hand, and Li Hao knew he had to explain his identity first. Whether the other party was a mountain dweller who feared contact with the outside world or an escaped convict like a startled bird, he needed to clarify his identity and try to start negotiating first.

  After all, the current situation is very unfavorable to the troops. I didn't expect the other side to have guns, nor did I expect them to dare fire them. There were no more coverings, and no more vehicles were brought up.

  Bang!

  Li Hao's words were not yet finished when the second gunshot sounded again, and the splashing snowflakes were just half a meter in front of Li Hao, looking extremely dangerous.

  "Raise all guns and fire one shot into the air."

  "Bang bang bang, bang..."

  Unexpectedly, the other side refused to listen to his propaganda, and Li Hao was also annoyed. After the order was passed down, more than a dozen submachine guns of the Road Engineering Brigade were raised simultaneously, and they fired a shot into the air in unison. The purpose is to let the other side know that they also have weapons, and it's hard to say who will come out on top if they fight hard.

  Even if our warriors have no shelter on the Gobi Desert, the enemy has nowhere to escape except for the stupid valley. Both sides are evenly matched, comparing guns and ammunition, our troops are absolutely superior.

  As the series of gunshots faded away, there were no more sounds of gunfire coming from Sha Zi Gou. Li Hao thought for a moment and decided to retreat first, at least until he had something to cover himself with before considering why the other side refused to communicate.

  "Retreat in all directions!"

  Suffocating! It's not just one person who feels suffocated. But in the swirling snow, you can't see where the enemy is hiding in the valley of fools, while the enemy can easily capture every warrior on the barren plain. No one would oppose Li Hao's decision at this time, but no one would feel comfortable in their heart either.

  "Li Hao! What's going on up ahead? Why are there gunshots?"

  As he backed away on the ground, Li Hao heard Xu Chang's shout coming from the intercom on his chest.

  "Get ready! The enemy has guns. Not only did they fire first, but they also refused our propaganda. I just ordered everyone to fire a shot and temporarily scared them off. Now I'm leading the troops to retreat, you quickly bring the vehicles up too."

  "Alright, I know. I'll get the vehicles up right away, you also quickly withdraw your troops, is anyone injured?"

  "No one was injured, but the motorcycle was temporarily abandoned on the ground."

  "It doesn't matter, if he dares to come and grab it, I'll just take him down."

  Listening to Xu Chang's scolding in the intercom, Li Hao didn't take it seriously. After ordering the soldiers to crawl out 10 meters away, he stood up and ran back to retreat. As long as he left the opponent's shooting range, waiting for the road construction team's vehicles to come up from behind, they could easily take down the stupid valley in front of them.
