The sun sets, dusk falls, and twilight begins to cover the earth little by little.
“Stop, who is it?”
“It’s Mr. Jiang, be respectful, hurry up, get out of the way!”
“Yeah, I’ve already seen it Yes, it’s indeed Mr. Jiang.”
……
At the entrance of the camp, under the bright lights, more than a dozen fully armed soldiers were on guard, guarding the place and always alerting the surroundings.
Unhurriedly, Jiang Yao walked all the way, still twenty or thirty meters away from here. The soldiers guarding here had already noticed his presence.
The sound of shouting and questioning, mixed with the sound of bullets being loaded, clearly reached Jiang Yao's ears.
The body of the mantis monster still remains in the camp and has not yet been handed over.
For fear of any accidents, the soldiers in the camp have already been very alert. In terms of tight security, they are definitely much stronger than in previous days.
Fortunately, at the same time as the shouts sounded, beams of searchlight light shone on Jiang Yao's body.
Although he didn't stay very long in the camp, the soldiers stationed at the gate of the camp recognized his identity immediately because of the instructions from above.
Seeing Jiang Yao step into the camp unhurriedly, the dozen or so soldiers straightened their bodies and respectfully gave him a military salute.
Ten minutes later, in the center of the camp, in the military tent serving as the temporary headquarters.
Looking for a chair, Jiang Yao had already sat down.
In addition to him, Zhu Mingxu, Zhao Zhengping and several other senior officials of the garrison have also hurried here.
"Mr. Jiang, how is the situation in that area?" After seeing that the people who were supposed to come had almost arrived here, Zhao Zhengping, who was already impatient, spoke immediately and asked tentatively. .
“I wandered around the area near the entrance of Death Valley for most of the day.”
“Ask me how the situation is? I can only say, it’s barely okay, that area is not It’s not as dangerous as imagined.”
“In addition to the monster corpse that Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu brought back to the camp, I encountered more than a dozen similar monsters in the following period. So many heads.”
"Originally, I planned to go to Death Valley to have a look. However, because I was worried about some unknown dangers, after hesitating for a moment, I finally gave up this tempting idea."
...
With a cigarette in his mouth, Jiang Yao responded casually.
Within one kilometer, the area is really not that big.
With his speed, after wandering around for so long, it can be said that he has visited almost every inch of the area. There are many places that he has searched back and forth several times.
Although only a dozen or so of those mantis monsters died in his hands, it was not because he was incapable of killing more, it was just because he simply could not find more monsters.
According to his estimation, after this cleanup, if not all the mantis people operating in that area have been killed, they should be almost the same.
On this late night, unless he was absolutely forced to do so, he had no interest in spending the whole night in the deserted mountains and wilderness.
The camp here is only a few kilometers away from that area. A round trip does not take him long at all.
Because of such convenient conditions, he returned directly to the camp just as night fell.
"Ah, a dozen monsters?"
"According to the information we have obtained, those monsters are extremely powerful and cannot be dealt with by ordinary people."
"No wonder, Mr. Jiang, you will return to the camp.”
“You are not injured when you are surrounded by so many monsters!”
Jiang Yao was already attacked before he could finish his words. Interrupt directly.
Although the name of the person who spoke was unknown, judging from his clothing, he should be one of the higher-ups in the camp, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
“How can some of these war scumbags’ things hurt me?” No matter what the person’s intentions were, Jiang Yao felt a little unhappy when he was forcibly interrupted while speaking.
With a displeased look on his face, he rolled his eyes and snorted softly.
Then he spoke again and added: "I appear in front of you safe and sound, and those monsters are naturally dead."
"If this officer has the guts to run into that area In the area, I believe you can find most of the dozens of monster corpses, if not all of them.”
"After wandering around outside for a long time, I came back to the camp and was ready to take a nap."
"Looking at the tone of your words, could it be possible that you thought I was being chased by those weaklings and ran away?" Are you here to avoid the limelight?"
Since Jiang Yao felt a little unhappy, his words were naturally not very polite.
While speaking, he also glared at the unknown guy with his unkind eyes.
"I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang!" He was slightly startled. After he realized what he said, the lieutenant colonel, who already knew that he had made a mistake, looked embarrassed and quickly apologized.
"Xiao Huang has a good temper, and he always speaks freely."
"Mr. Jiang, your Majesty, don't argue with him!" Zhao Zhengping and others on the side saw the atmosphere. Something was wrong, so he quickly spoke up and said a few nice words to the unknown lieutenant colonel.
As a senior officer in the military, neither he nor Lieutenant Colonel Huang knew what Jiang Yao had done in the past, but they also knew that this person was someone they and others could not afford to offend. .
After all, three or five mantis monsters once slaughtered an entire regiment stationed here.
But Jiang Yao in front of him, judging from the known situation, he killed those mantis monsters as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
Not to mention, they already knew that this person had resisted a nuclear bomb explosion and was still unscathed.
Faced with such a person, even if Zhao Zhengping and others were a little dissatisfied with him, they would only dare to whisper a few words behind his back, but how could they dare to say anything in front of him.
“The mantis monsters operating in that area have basically been eliminated.”
“Even if there are still one or two fish that have slipped through the net, they should not be able to make any waves. . ”
“Tomorrow morning, ask someone to prepare some living animals and arrange for a team of people to accompany me over there. ”
"In Death Valley, doesn't it mean that if any creature enters, it will definitely end up with no return?"
"With those animals, I will test it out to see if I can figure out what is going on inside. "
"As for you, I suggest you try not to go into that area."
"After all, it's inside. Although I have cleaned up the active monsters, no one can guarantee whether there will be other monsters coming out of Death Valley after this night."
"Look at me dealing with those monsters, it seems there are still some. It’s easy, but if it were you, as long as the monsters get close, no matter how many people there are, they may not be enough to kill them.”
Although Jiang Yao was a little dissatisfied with Lieutenant Colonel Huang, he was not a bad person. He would definitely not treat him mercilessly just because of someone else's slip of the tongue.
With Zhao Zhengping and others helping him put in good words, Jiang Yao now has a step he can take.
Did not continue to dwell on the matter, he directly changed the topic and informed Zhu Mingxu and Zhao Zhengping of his plans for tomorrow.
“The mantis monsters that were active outside Death Valley have been basically cleaned up, which is a good thing!”
“The corpses of more than a dozen monsters were left lying in that area. "It's a waste of resources." "It's a pity that without you, Mr. Jiang, there are still some unknown dangers for ordinary people like us entering inside. Otherwise, I really want to lead the team directly and go inside." .”
"There are indeed some livestock such as pigs and sheep in the camp. Mr. Jiang, if you want to use this to test the situation in Death Valley, there will be no problem at all."
"Tomorrow morning, I will arrange someone Take all these animals and follow you to the entrance of Death Valley."
" The only pity is that the number of these animals is not large, only a dozen in total. If you want more, Mr. Jiang, we will directly notify the local government and ask them to send some animals over.”
"Of course, this will definitely take some time. I'm afraid Mr. Jiang can't wait."
...
The words fell into the ears of Zhao Zhengping, Zhu Mingxu and others. They looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Several people spoke one after another.
While making promises to Jiang Yao, some people were also tentatively speaking, thinking about the corpses of the mantis corpses lying outside Death Valley.
“A dozen animals, barely enough, is enough.”
"Since you have no other objections to this, fine, let's just say this."
"After a tiring day, I'll find a place to have a good sleep first.
"I'm a person who likes to kill people in my dreams. Unless the fire burns my butt, otherwise, you'd better disturb me randomly. ”
Slowly, Jiang Yao stood up directly.
He didn’t mention the corpse of the mantis monster at all. After leaving a few words, he turned to Walk outside the military tent.
Zhao Zhengping, Zhu Mingxu and others lacked the courage to prevent Jiang Yao from leaving.
Looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes, Zhu Mingxu sighed and said: "It can be said that I finally invited Mr. Jiang here after visiting the thatched cottage three times."
" He has his own ideas on how to do things, and no one else can force him to do anything.”
“We want to deal with the mantis monster as soon as possible. We will do it as Mr. Jiang tells us!”
“We have made an appointment and need to report to the superiors. I will leave first. One step, as for you, see for yourselves!”
Seeing that Jiang Yao's back had disappeared from his sight, Zhu Mingxu shrugged, stood up, and walked outside the military tent.
He is not a member of the military. Given his rank, Zhao Zhengping and others must be a head shorter than him.
He appears here mainly because of Jiang Yao.
Now that Jiang Yao has left, it naturally means nothing for him to continue to stay here.
Taking big steps, Zhu Mingxu quickly walked out of the military tent and disappeared.
"You have all heard what Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhu said."
"Do your job well and cooperate with Mr. Jiang."
"That's it for now, everyone. Let's go!"
Sighing, Zhao Zhengping also stood up.
After waving his hand and giving instructions to everyone, he also walked towards the tent exit.
As the highest commander of the camp, he has already said this, and others will naturally have no other opinions on this.
Several senior camp officials also began to leave one by one. In just a few breaths, no one of them was left.
*
*
The sun rises, and it is a brand new day.
At the gate of the camp, a team of more than a dozen soldiers was already prepared and ready to go.
A dozen animals and some simple tools have already been loaded into the back compartment of a military truck.
Jiang Yao, who arrived a little late, said hello to several camp executives headed by Zhao Zhengping, and he got directly into an off-road vehicle in front of the truck.
It is four to five kilometers away. Although it is only a few steps away, driving these animals all the way on foot will waste a little time and will eventually become troublesome.
The rugged mountain roads and complex terrain make it impossible to drive the car directly to the entrance of Death Valley, but it can save most of the journey.
Following Jiang Yao's order, the off-road vehicle took the lead amid the roar of the engine, followed closely by the military truck, heading towards the entrance of Death Valley.
Those mantis monsters that were raging within one kilometer outside the valley entrance seemed to have been completely eliminated by Jiang Yao. Along the way, there was no trace of these ghosts again.
Although there was no danger, it was still nearly an hour later when Jiang Yao and his party arrived at the entrance of the valley.
"Mr. Jiang, the rope has been tied to the pig, and the pig must be driven directly into Death Valley!" The person speaking at this moment was a second lieutenant.
This man's name is Fang Weidong. Among the dozen or so soldiers who came here with Jiang Yao, this man is obviously the leader.
"Well, let's try it first and see what the result is!" Sitting on a fairly flat stone a few meters away from the valley entrance, Jiang Yao nodded with a smile.
With his consent, Fang Weidong motioned to his men and began to move.
A soldier held the rope tied to the pig and walked to the front of the valley entrance. The other two soldiers, holding branches in their hands and shouting, drove the pig straight into Death Valley. Go.
Today's sky, although the sun is not shining brightly, can still be considered sunny and windy.
But when the big fat pig was driven into Death Valley, and it only moved a dozen steps forward, a strong wind suddenly roared inside, and sand and rocks were flying everywhere, making the situation at the entrance of the valley clearly visible. It all started to get a little blurry.
"No, I can't feel any strength anymore."
"The fat pig tied to the other end of the rope is definitely in trouble."
The soldier who has been holding the rope , suddenly looked stunned and exclaimed.
Between three times, five times and two times, he quickly retracted the rope in his hand.
On the other end of the rope, the pig that had been tied had long since disappeared.
The rope as thick as a finger had broken apart inexplicably. The incision was smooth, as if it had been suddenly cut off by a sharp blade.
The soldier holding the rope had a face full of confusion and confusion. He stared at the broken position of the rope in his hand. He was stunned for a while.
"Bring another animal over and keep trying!" Jiang Yao, who was sitting on the rock not far away, appeared beside the soldier at some unknown time.
The distance between him outside the valley and the pig that was driven into Death Valley was only ten or twenty meters at most.
His eyesight was also affected by the strong wind and sand, and he could not see clearly how the rope was disconnected or how the pig disappeared.
Frowning and thinking for a while, he turned his head and gave Fang Weidong another instruction.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang!" Fang Weidong nodded and agreed.
When he and his men tied the rope tightly to a sheep and were about to drive it into Death Valley, Jiang Yao suddenly came over.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a drop of bright red blood shot out from his fingertips and went straight into the goat's slightly open mouth.
