Chapter 149 Blocking the Road
"Did something hit me just now?" Wu Liuyi threw himself forward heavily, and his whole body hit the steering wheel.

Feng Yuxiu took a glance and said, "It looks like a cow."

"Cow? Where do cows come from in this place? Look at the size of a tiger." Wu Liuyi looked around. At the bottom of the vast and deep valley, only the red and yellow headlights of the off-road vehicle shot out two straight lines.

"Stay seated, don't stop, and don't get out no matter what you encounter!" Wu Liuyi started the car again.

Feng Yuxiu took a quick glance with the help of the left turn signal and saw a large yellow cow lying on the ground.

I looked towards the top of the mountain and the left and right sides. It was a domesticated yellow cattle. How could it appear in this place?

boom!
The vehicle had just gone a hundred meters when a fallen tree blocked the national highway in front of it.

Feng Yuxiu suddenly sneered, "Deputy Squad Leader, it seems the national highway you're taking isn't very safe. No wonder everyone rides green-skinned trains these days."

Wu Liuyi hesitated for a moment, "Are you saying we were robbed?"

Feng Yuxiu didn't get out of the car, but locked the door. "How could a yellow cow appear here? If you go down and take a look, I guarantee it's dead. This cow has been dead for at least several days. It's just waiting for someone with a predestined relationship."

"If I had known to take the train, it wouldn't have been so dangerous when I came here." Wu Liuyi gritted his teeth.

"You didn't encounter any criminals when you came here, so you just happened to be delayed."

"Retreat, retreat back to the hillside we just passed, and set out again after daybreak. Anyone hiding on the roadside late at night could launch a fatal attack on us."

Wu Liuyi put the car in reverse and backed away skillfully.

Feng Yuxiu stared at the trees that were gradually moving away. A yellow cow and a fallen tree – what a perfect scene for blackmail.

He could not have predicted the chaos of that era. People dared to commit crimes in the streets and rob people on the road.

Just as the off-road vehicle retreated, five or six bandits armed with sickles emerged from the bushes on both sides.

"Damn it, I finally got a fat fish."

"What should we do? We definitely can't catch up with this car."

"It's okay. I don't believe he can't return to where he came from. This is the only national highway leading to Henan Province. Where else can he go if not here? Wait!"

"Waiting like crazy! We've been waiting for a month. If you don't come, are we still going to go hunting?"

-

The car stopped on the hillside, where you can see a thousand meters around.

"Deputy squad leader, go to sleep. You can't stay up late at night." Feng Yuxiu said.

Wu Liuyi shook his head. "How can I fall asleep in this place? Not to mention the wild wolves and the like, what if what you said is true? If I wake up to find a few armed robbers standing in front of me, I'm doomed, right?"

"Are both of them going to die?" Feng Yuxiu asked.

Wu Liuyi looked at Feng Yuxiu and said, "You go to sleep. I have cigarettes to hold you up. You are more physically fit than me and you are ruthless. If we really encounter robbers, you will be of the greatest help."

Feng Yuxiu wanted to say that three hours of deep sleep was enough for him, but Wu Liuyi had already taken out a cigarette and was ready to fight into the night.

He could only open the car door and lie down in the back seat. "It's okay. We are fifty kilometers away from the fallen tree. Those people won't risk chasing us on foot in the middle of the night. There are wolves here."

Wu Liuyi hummed, opened the window a crack and smoked.

"Xu Sanduo, I know the situation in Xiarongshu Village. You've been introverted and bullied by the children in the village since you were a child. Why did you change so much after joining the army? Your skills are even better than those of the special forces soldiers."

Wu Liuyi exhaled a smoke ring and felt a little melancholy.

"And you didn't feel any discomfort the first time you killed someone. That doesn't seem like a kid from the countryside. No one can remain calm the first time they kill someone."

Wu Liuyi threw away the cigarette butt, unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a few big gulps.

"Actually, I've always..."

"Are you going to let me sleep???" Feng Yuxiu sat up angrily, and the anger in his eyes made Wu Liu shut his mouth instantly.

"Go to sleep, I'll keep watch." Wu Liuyi turned his head awkwardly and looked at the vast night.

Feng Yuxiu fell asleep on his side in anger.

This time, Wu Liuyi did not continue asking questions on his own, but leaned against the car door and stared into the distance.

Late at night, the car lights turned on two night lights to prevent wild animals from approaching and attacking.

The croaking of frogs in the distance became louder and louder, as if it would ring in my ears in the next second.

The wind in the mountains was very cold, making a sharp whistling sound as it blew through the trees.

It seemed as if unclean creatures were wandering in the deep mountains and forests.

"Xu Sanduo, are you asleep?"

The sound and the huge darkness were somewhat creepy. Wu Liuyi smoked one cigarette after another to maintain the discomfort in his heart.

"According to our current distance, we're more than halfway there. We should be back at the company by this time tomorrow. We're a few hours later than expected, and I guess we'll be inspected again when we get back."

Wu Liuyi became a chatterbox at this time. He has always been so serious and steady.

Now it's completely changed.

This darkness is so unsettling.

The oppressive feeling brought by the huge darkness is greater than that of the mountains.

Feng Yuxiu opened his eyes, got out of the car, opened Wu Liuyi's door, and stared at him expressionlessly, "Get out of the car and go to sleep in the back."

"I'm not sleepy." Wu Liuyi shook his head and refused.

"You're too noisy, go to bed."

Feng Yuxiu pulled Wu Liuyi out without saying a word and stuffed him into the back seat. He sat in the driver's seat and opened the window to dispel the smell of smoke.

"Then watch carefully, something's wrong... bang!"

Feng Yuxiu punched Wu Liuyi back and knocked him unconscious.

A frown appeared between his brows. This deputy class leader used to be quite good, calm and composed.

Could it be that seeing the three thugs killing people caused a psychological change?

Feng Yuxiu believed that this was the direct reason, otherwise how could a grown man become so fussy.

Looking at the giant creature in the dark night and the forest in the distance, Feng Yuxiu felt a little complicated.

He was not chasing the three armed thugs recklessly.

Killing them or letting them go did not change anything in his heart.

He doesn't have the courage to do what is right, nor does he have the concept of justice.

As long as the other party doesn't provoke me, it's fine.

But why should we risk our lives this time?

The reason is simple, that letter.

Xu Baishun's letter home.

The troops were far away from Xiarongshu Village and he couldn't go back.

In his heart, Xu Baishun, the old farmer, was a good person with a simple and unpretentious air, which reminded him of his late father.

His father was just like that, doing everything he could to make his son better.

But I live an unhappy life and always use a high profile to cover up my inner inferiority.

A palm-sized badge of third-class merit is not enough to scare off the demolition workers who are likely to have explosive behavior.

But the second-class merit is different.

This time he killed three desperate criminals. When he returns to the army, he will definitely be awarded the second-class meritorious service plaque.

This can be considered a consolation to Xu Sanduo. After all, he occupied his body and this person was already dead.

In the daytime, a warm morning light jumped out from the top of the mountain, dispelling the darkness and the giant, and green and half-yellow filled the eyes.

Mountains, huge rocks, grass and forests.

Last night there was such a terrifying sense of oppression, and during the day there seemed to be a sense of bleakness and loneliness.

Feng Yuxiu opened the car door and stretched.

His legs and arms slowly stretched out, making muffled crackling sounds. Even in the car last night, he hadn't forgotten to continue exercising his seven major tendons. Wu Liuyi had driven all day and suffered the bloody eye-splitting experience. Now that he had finally fallen asleep, he wouldn't be able to wake up for a while.

Feng Yuxiu opened the trunk and pulled out a baton from the pile of food.

This was obtained from the group of armed police. After all, Feng Yuxiu helped them so much.

A case that shocked the whole country was solved. Any request would be considered, let alone a baton.

You can't fight against a group of people with bare hands. This is different from the competition between the Sixth Company. Once this group of people are hit by them, they will definitely lose a lot of combat effectiveness, and there is a high possibility that they will be hit directly in a fatal position.

Once they engage, they must be completely defeated with the first stance.

It was not until noon that Wu Liuyi was awakened by the scorching sun.

"What time is it?" Wu Liuyi sat up and suddenly felt sore in his back and waist, and his neck seemed to be stiff.

"I don't know. It's around ten o'clock. We should set off after dinner." Feng Yuxiu had already been squatting on the side of the road, gnawing on a steamed bun and garlic.

Wu Liuyi got out of the car, was silent for a few seconds, then took out a cigarette and puffed on it.

After smoking, I felt full of energy. I took out a steamed bun and sausage from the trunk and started eating them with garlic and chili.

After eating, Feng Yuxiu ran back and forth on the hillside several times.

"Xu Sanduo, why is it so difficult for us to return to our company? Why do we always encounter such bad luck?"

The more Wu Liuyi thought about it, the angrier he became.

Feng Yuxiu glanced at the slightly dejected soldier king and said, "It's simple. You remembered the wrong way. This road is long and roundabout, and usually no one takes it."

"How can it be!"

Feng Yuxiu walked into the car and threw out a map.

"This is where we killed those three criminals. We're here now after driving for five hours. The cliffs last night and the forest now indicate that we were originally here, but now we're here..."

Wu Liuyi looked in the direction Feng Yuxiu pointed. Four hours ago, he should have turned onto the village road, but he drove onto the national highway instead.

The village road is a straight road going forward, with villages and youth hostels on both sides.

But when we turned onto the national highway, we went into the mountains. The name of the mountain was Yangbapo, and it was a deserted road leading to the deep mountains and old forests.

Wu Liuyi's expression changed completely. "I was wondering why the highway was getting more and more desolate. It's too late to go back now. We can't find any gas at all. We have to keep going..."

He grabbed a military map and looked at it. "There's another 600 miles until there's a gas station... and the fuel gauge... only allows for 400 miles..."

Feng Yuxiu's face was expressionless. "That means each of us has to walk 200 miles to get gas at the gas station."

"Deputy, is this your first time traveling far away?"

Wu Liu turned his head and said, "Yeah, it's my first time."

"Let's go, get in the car and go forward, maybe we'll encounter an opportunity."

Feng Yuxiu sat in the driver's seat.

Wu Liuyi frowned, "You didn't sleep all night last night, let me drive, you take the time to rest."

"Who said I didn't sleep?" Feng Yuxiu grinned.

Wu Liuyi's face turned pale. "Did you sleep last night too?"

He looked around hurriedly, and then trembled, "I'm really lucky."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you delay any longer, we'll never get to the company! Get in the car!"

Rumble!
The off-road vehicle roared and splashed sand and gravel all the way as it ran towards the edge of Yangbapo.

Along the way, Feng Yuxiu had a gloomy expression on his face, and his eyes were fixed on everything in front of him like a wolf or a tiger.

This tense scene made Wu Liuyi sit up straight.

Half an hour later, the car braked where it stopped last night.

Looking at the giant tree blocking the road a hundred meters away, Feng Yuxiu looked to the left.

Sure enough, the body of the dead cow disappeared last night.

There were dense forests and one-meter-high wormwood on both sides. Once they got out of the car to lift the trees, people around would definitely rush over to occupy the off-road vehicle.

And the two of them will be surrounded by the thugs rushing out.

I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid these people have guns.

In this era, especially in remote areas, it is normal to have one or two guns.

Before joining the army, he also dug out a gun from the ravine of Xia Rongshu Village.

It was that modified firearm that made Shi Jin give him a break and recruit him into the army.

"How about I get out of the car and lift the tree, and you sit in the car and drive over?" Wu Liuyi grabbed the car door with his right hand, quickly scanned everything around him, and spoke in a deep voice.

Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes. "That's unrealistic. One person can't lift that tree. It will take at least two people."

"What should we do? We can't retreat anymore, or the car will run out of gas, and we'll never get out of this deep mountain." Wu Liuyi was anxious, "Damn it, I'm going down. I don't believe they dare to attack me. I'll go down in camouflage uniform!"

"I advise you not to. You're wearing casual clothes now. These military vehicles are also modified by civilians. They are nothing more than camouflaged off-road vehicles. They may not be able to tell them apart. But if you wear camouflage uniforms, it will be different. They know what the consequences of robbing us are. If they make an extreme decision, they will definitely kill us."

Listening to Feng Yuxiu's analysis, Wu Liuyi gritted his teeth. "Damn it! This is unfortunate! Where do you think they're hiding? In the weeds, or behind the trees? There are cliffs on both sides. Could they be lurking around our car?"

Feng Yuxiu pulled out his baton and said, "I'll get out of the car in a minute. You stay in the driver's seat. If you find anything wrong, reverse and run."

"Don't rush to show off your comrades' style. If we lose the car, we'll really be stuck in the mountains. The car is our food and water source. Without the car, we'll starve to death and die of thirst. We must keep the car!"

Wu Liuyi said hurriedly, "You don't have to go down. What if they have guns?"

Feng Yuxiu was silent for a few seconds, his eyes flashing. "I bet they didn't. The car has been parked here for at least ten minutes. If they had a gun, they would have jumped out and told us to get out."

"Deputy squad leader, stop talking nonsense and get ready!"

Feng Yuxiu pushed open the door and jumped out.

Wu Liuyi flipped sideways and sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands, his body tense as he stared at his surroundings.

Feng Yuxiu grinned, and the muscles on his body made a crackling sound with every step he took.

The baton in his right hand made a creaking sound as he gripped it.

He walked towards the big tree step by step, and the wormwood on both sides made a whistling sound.

It's like a hundred wild ducks shouting at the same time.

When Feng Yuxiu stood on the roadblocking tree, the surroundings were still quiet.

Feng Yuxiu frowned. The windows of the off-road vehicle were transparent. If there were ambushers, they would have seen the number of people in the car clearly.

Neither of them is wearing military uniforms, why haven't they taken action yet?
Was I wrong? Is this the road no one has ever walked on?

Feng Yuxiu squatted down and touched the big tree. The tree had been dead for a long time, but because it was redwood, it did not dry out and rot.

At first glance, it seems that the tree has been lying here for many years.

Feng Yuxiu walked around to the other side, and suddenly his eyes narrowed. A few pieces of dry bark fell beside the tree trunk.

The bark notch is new.

In other words, this tree collapsed and fell here not long ago.

Why would a tree that had been dead for a long time suddenly collapse?
Unless someone pushed it over on purpose!

Feng Yuxiu suddenly raised his head.

Feng Yuxiu's face looked grim and gloomy in the off-road vehicle.

Eight fierce bandits holding sickles stood on both sides of the car, one standing on each of the four tires, with wooden sticks in their hands inserted directly into the wheel hubs.

The off-road vehicle was locked manually!

Feng Yuxiu only asked one question, "Don't you have a gun?"

"What are you doing? We're all in trouble. Can you two take out some help from your pockets? I'll return it to you another day." The big man in the lead said with a smile while biting a cigarette.

Feng Yuxiu nodded, "Well, it looks like there's no gun. That makes it easy."
