Chapter 10 Encounter Battle

  Jin Hu watched until the sun went down, while others were still asleep. Duanshuai woke up twice, but both times he was bothering the two women. It was impossible to expect him to watch the car, so they waited for Chen Jin to wake up before waking up the others who were sleeping and continuing on their journey after eating a meal.

  The car passed the border of Jiangxi Province, and the road gradually became impassable. There was no highway, only a national highway, and many sections of the road were bumpy. On the second evening, at around 9 o'clock, the car slowly entered the mountains and climbed onto the mountainous highway. The speed became slower and slower, taking two to three hours to drive around a single mountain peak of over thirty kilometers.

  A few people were awakened again after a night, and it wasn't until more than 9 o'clock in the morning that they stopped the car at a small hotel by the side of the road to rest. It was a repeat of yesterday's events. Jin Hu ate his meal and lay down on the bed before falling asleep.

  The screen flickered back to life, and as soon as the sound started, Jin Hu thought: I want to authorize, but you have to teach me how to do it first. Every time in my dreams, isn't it intentional to take my old life? Who knew that as soon as he thought of this, the voice replied: "Authorization granted! Explorer system startup!". Jin Hu's mind lit up, and the electric chair was gone, replaced by a square iron head with a round camera lens-like single eye in the middle: "Proxy form established! Commander is at level one danger level, no protection state, self-biological warning mechanism activated!"

  "Explorer's propulsion system damaged! Requesting connection to mothership's engineer!... No response, connection failed! Requesting connection to flight officer!... No response, connection failed! Warning! Warning! Commander, please return to Explorer immediately!" Then everything went black and nothing was left.

  After this episode, the scene never appeared again, unlike before when it kept repeating itself. Jin Hu finally had a good sleep.

  For the next two nights, Jin Hu's mind had only one picture, which was that map. In addition to the original small water droplet point, there was an additional green dot. According to the map Chen Jin brought, Jin Hu figured out his own location and made up his mind that once this matter was over, he would go to the Pacific Ocean to take a look.

  The five-day journey has already passed 90%, and it's about to leave the mountain. Chen Jin happily said to the four people: "In another one or two hours, we will be out of the mountain. As long as we pass this mountain, the back is a flat land, and there are more towns on the road, so it's safer!"

  "This job is easy! When we arrive, I'll treat you guys to a good time. Especially Jin Hu, he always helps me watch the car!"

  "Jin Hu can't take your taste!" Qian Feng smiled and said: "Along the way, everyone has seen it, but Jin Hu didn't lose anything, he's been watching the living Spring Palace all along."

  "You're still that kind of person even after coming to the big city!" Duan Miao, this stubborn fellow, rubbed his forehead and said: "Meeting each other is fate! We've gotten along pretty well on the road so far. If anything happens in the future, just let me know, if I'm hiding my head, I'm this" He finished by making a turtle shape with one hand.

  King Jun, who spoke little, joked with Duan Miao: "Who gave you this name? Your dad is really cultured! It's much better than my name. When I was in the army, there were two people with the same name as me in one company."

  "He doesn't have any culture, it was his school teacher who gave him the name. If my old man had named him, he would be called a tile from a set of mahjong cards." He then laughed and said: "My nickname is San Tongzi".

  Jin Hu laughed too. The people in the car started teasing the woman.

  The car had been driving for almost twenty minutes when Jin Hu felt something was off again, the uneasy feeling in his heart resurfaced, this time stronger than when they encountered the police before, and the unease grew as the car moved forward.

  "Slow down!" Jin Hu said to Chen Jin who was driving.

  Chen Jin slowed down the car and turned his head to ask Jin Hu: "What's wrong?"

  Jin Hu pointed ahead: "Something's not right up front, I feel a chill down my spine." Ahead of them was the entrance to a mountain valley, with large trees lining both sides of the road. The whole scene gave Jin Hu the feeling of being in front of a huge, dark mouth that wanted to swallow him whole.

  "Unlikely!" Chen Jin looked ahead and said: "Actually, we're almost at our guest's territory now, it should be much safer, the most dangerous place has passed."

  "It's normal for birds to fly up and down! It doesn't seem like there's an ambush." Wang Jun said carefully observing the front.

  Jin Hu could only make up an excuse: "I've grown up in the mountains since I was a kid, and every time this feeling appears, nothing good happens, trust me!"

  "What did you say?" Chen Jin looked at everyone and asked.

  "Duan Miao looked at Jin Hu with a furrowed brow and said, 'I believe in you, even if we have to run this far, it's just over ten miles.'"

  Wang Jun also said: "Be careful!"

  Chen Jin nodded: "Alright! You four be careful and follow the car, I'll drive slowly."

  Qian Feng listened and said: "I'll open it!"

  Jin Hu glanced at him and knew that this person didn't quite believe in his own intuition, and it wasn't good to say much. Rushing to send death wasn't worth talking about, besides, someone had to drive anyway.

  Chen Jin nodded: "Alright! You drive slowly, after passing this forest, the four of us will get back on the car! Wang Jun, you and Jin Hu take the left side, I'll take the right side with Duan Miao."

  Jin Hu waited for him to finish speaking, then picked up the canvas bag and jumped out of the car, walked into the woods, squatted down and started hanging the strings. After assembling the bow, he directly tied the quiver to his waist.

  I don't know how Chen Jin's group is doing, but Jin Hu and Wang Jun walked together for about a kilometer. Originally, Wang Jun had his gun in hand with a cautious expression, but that was gone now, and the gun was back at his waist. The cars on the highway were getting faster and faster, eventually leaving Jin Hu far behind.

  As the car turned a corner and disappeared from view, Wang Jun said to Jin Hu: "Did you feel wrong?"

  Before Jin Hu could respond, he himself was taken aback for a moment, and his expression also turned serious: "I've had this uneasy feeling too." He nodded at Jin Hu, and the gun returned to his hand.

  Just a dozen steps away, a burst of gunfire came from the front, and the loud gunfire was very clear in the sparse forest.

  "All are handguns, at least seven people" Wang Jun said to Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu and Wang Jun exchanged a glance, then sprinted forward, running towards the woods while dodging, just as they approached the bend, another round of gunfire was heard. "Chen Jin and Duan Miao have engaged them," Wang Jun said to Jin Hu: "The distance is about 300 meters!"

  Jin Hu was taken aback, this person is really capable, he can even hear that. The two of them ran for a while under the cover of gunfire outside, Jin Hu followed Wang Jun and stopped after a while, hearing the loud voices of the shooters. Looking at Wang Jun stopping, Jin Hu directly found a nearby big tree, put his bow on his back, and climbed up the tree with a few swift movements.

  Upon reaching the high ground, visibility greatly improved. The car had already crashed into a tree by the side of the road, and the entire hood was crumpled up. Jin Hu could see five people leaning against the car, firing at Chen Jin and Duan Miao in the woods, while four others were preparing to flank around the woods to attack Chen Jin from behind. Not far away, two small cars were parked with all doors wide open.

  Five people leaning against the car body were all facing away from Jinhu, and none of them were more than 50 meters away. What else can be said? The bow was full moon, standing on the tree branch, Jinhu shot out two arrows in a row. A miserable cry was heard: "There is someone behind the tree! Cannon brother, four sons are hung!" Immediately slid down from this tree, just slid to the middle of the tree trunk, and heard several loud noises, all of which could feel the vibration of the tree trunk being hit. Slid down the tree and ran a few steps, hearing a gunshot nearby, followed by two more shots. Then someone in the gunman on the road shouted: "The back point is too hard!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was another miserable cry.

  Jin Hu turned his head and saw Wang Jun using a large tree near the road as cover, firing at the road. He immediately rolled to another tree and saw Jin Hu peeking out from behind a tree, grinning at him. Wang Jun made two hand gestures towards Jin Hu, then pointed to his right side, made a walking gesture with two fingers pointing down, and finally pointed at Jin Hu, gesturing upwards towards the tree.

  Jin Hu nodded and climbed up a tree. From the top of the tree, Jin Hu nodded at Wang Jun, who lowered his body and slowly moved forward, peeking through the branches. Jin Hu saw two heads popping out, approaching Wang Jun's direction. Before Jin Hu could take aim, he saw something being thrown out by Wang Jun, and the two gunmen fired at it. Two shots rang out, and the two heads Jin Hu saw immediately exploded.

  Looking down at Wang Jun under the tree, Wang Jun smiled at Jin Hu, and Jin Hu raised his head to see two people rolling and crawling towards the car. The car shook violently and rushed forward, disappearing in a flash of smoke.

  The woods suddenly fell silent, and the sense of danger in Jin Hu's heart immediately disappeared. He slid down from the tree, nodded at Wang Jun behind the tree, and led the way out of the woods.

  Having walked halfway down the road, Jin Hu shouted towards the woods on one side: "Chen Jin, Duan Miao! How are you?"

  Chen Jin's voice immediately rang out: "Duan Miao is no longer usable".

  After hearing Chen Jin's words, Jin Hu immediately ran towards the direction of the sound, and Wang Jun also emerged from behind the tree.

  Two people arrived at the forest and saw Duan Miao lying in Chen Jin's arms, with a gunshot wound to the chest and another to the abdomen. One hand was covering the gunshot wound on his stomach, with blood constantly seeping out from between his fingers. His teeth, yellowed from smoking, were now stained red with blood. He kept muttering: "I'll screw his grandma!"

  Wang Jun walked to Duan Miao's side, took a look and shook his head at Jin Hu: "It's beyond salvation! Although the heart is not injured, this bleeding is too much".

  "Brother... brother! If there's a chance, I'll take revenge! For what they did to me, that bastard's son!" Duan Ming said, rolling his eyes at Jin Hu and Wang Jun.

  Watching the two of them nodding, he continued to droop his eyelids and scold in a low voice. The sound became smaller and smaller, until it finally disappeared.

  "It's all their fault, they didn't believe Jin Hu's words. If they were more careful, perhaps Duan Miao would have escaped with his life." Chen Jin said: "We ran to the bend and everyone was ready to get in the car at the edge of the woods."

  Wang Jun patted Chen Jin on the back: "Let's go! See who made the move, settle old scores and grudges."

  Chen Jin nodded: "That's the truth!" He put down Duan Miao and followed Jin Hu and Wang Jun out of the forest. As soon as he saw the sniper's body, Chen Jin was stunned, his whole person like a fool.
