A Mercenary’s War

Chapter 3 Escape

Gao Yang covered the magazine with his hands, trying not to make any noise when the magazine was unloaded. After the magazine was unloaded, Gao Yang couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

There was only one bullet left in the magazine, including the one in the gun chamber, Gao Yang only had two bullets, but the enemy still had three, and it was obvious that the enemy would never be short of bullets.

Gao Yang knew that he had to find a way to leave. Even if he could kill one with one bullet, the remaining one would kill him. No reinforcements.

The only good news is that it is getting dark, and Gao Yang estimates that in another hour, the sun will completely set. As long as he consumes energy until it gets dark, he has a chance to escape.

After Gao Yang put the magazine back, he got up and observed again, but he didn't see any trace of the enemy, but this time Gao Yang didn't climb to the ground again, but knelt down on one knee, while trying to hide himself as much as possible, pay attention Looking around.

Gao Yang didn't wait for a long time, and saw a human head slowly protruding from the grass. After looking around for a while, he bent down and ran forward a few steps quickly. After just two or three seconds, he immediately Hide in the grass.

A few seconds later, another person popped up from another bush more than ten meters away, ran forward a few meters quickly, and then hid in the bush.

The opponent began to cover and advance alternately. At this time, the two people Gao Yang saw were at most forty or fifty meters away from him. This distance was too dangerous, and Gao Yang felt that he could not let the opponent approach easily.

Gao Yang held his breath and raised his gun to aim at the hiding place of the first person he saw. Soon, the first person he saw appeared again, although it was three or four meters away from where he was hiding. The distance and the running speed are also very fast, but Gao Yang deflected the gun and pulled the trigger without thinking.

Gao Yang is the best at hitting moving targets.

The gunshot killed the man, and Gao Yang used the fifth bullet to kill the fourth man. Although there was a frantic shooting immediately, the other party did not dare to show his face. This kind of blind shooting did not pose much threat to Gao Yang.

After Gao Yang moved a little distance, he stopped again, still maintaining a high degree of vigilance, observing the movements of the remaining two opponents. His last shot obviously had a deterrent effect, and the opponents did not dare to move forward alternately, hiding in the grass Life and death are hidden.

Gao Yang and the opponent formed a confrontation, and no one dared to move first. At this time, Gao Yang was not the only one who was frightened. Although Gao Yang only had one bullet left, the opponent obviously didn't know this. Gao Yang was afraid that the opponent would be together. He rushed over, and the other party was also afraid that he would attract fatal bullets as soon as he showed his head. As the saying goes, it is like beating a wolf with a hemp stick-fear at both ends.

Time passed by every minute and every second, the sky gradually darkened, Gao Yang's chance of escaping was getting bigger and bigger, but the remaining two enemies remained silent. At this time, Gao Yang was already thinking about which direction to flee.

Gao Yang is more than 100 meters east of the river, and the remaining two enemies are in the west and north. Gao Yang has two options for escaping. Go south, or go south first, and then enter the water after leaving the battlefield down the river.

Gao Yang planned to go south first, and then turn down the river. The main reason why he chose to go down the river was because his right knee had been hurting all the time, making it difficult to move, but it was much more convenient after entering the water.

After the sky was completely dark and he could no longer see clearly, Gao Yang decided to take action, but just when he was about to take action, Gao Yang realized that he had made a big mistake.

Gao Yang was wearing a lifejacket all the time. Although the orange lifejacket was very eye-catching, Gao Yang didn't intend to take it off, because he had to rely on the buoyancy provided by the lifejacket if he wanted to escape from the river. Under the premise of being very hungry, leaving the life jacket is the only way to die.

During the daytime, although the color of the life jacket is bright, it is not a big problem with the cover of the grass, but now after dark, Gao Yang was surprised to find that the life jacket actually emitted a soft fluorescent light, and the brightness was still very high. It is definitely enough for people to find him from a long distance. If it is in the river, it must not be able to hide from people's eyes.

Gao Yang was a little dumbfounded. He took off the life jacket as quickly as possible, and then tried to see if he could remove the two fluorescent strips, but he found helplessly that if the fluorescent strips were forcibly removed, the life jacket would inevitably It will leak.

At this moment, Gao Yang heard what seemed to be rustling sounds. Gao Yang knew that there was no longer any delay, so he had no choice but to put the life jacket aside and began to crawl southward slowly.

Gao Yang was very patient. He didn't run away in a hurry, but kept crawling. He knew that the opponent couldn't see him at this time, as long as he didn't make too much noise.

Gao Yang climbed a long distance, and suddenly there was a burst of short gunshots behind him. Gao Yang thought that the enemy should have fired after they found his life jacket.

Knowing that the enemy did not give up chasing and killing him, Gao Yang sped up his crawling speed a little, but Gao Yang suddenly had an idea, he thought, perhaps he should find a way to distract the pursuers behind him.

After hesitating for a while, Gao Yang turned to the river bank and started to crawl, but every time he climbed a certain distance, he would stop and listen to whether there was any movement behind him.

When it was more than 20 meters away from the shore, Gao Yang stopped climbing, because there was no cover of grass any further, Gao Yang didn't want to take the risk of climbing out of the grass, he just wanted to make some noise in the river .

To Gao Yang's dismay, after climbing so far, he didn't even encounter a rock, and there was nothing nearby to use. After thinking for a while, Gao Yang gently unloaded the magazine, and then put the magazine Throw it into the river forcefully.

At the last moment the bullet was in the chamber, and the empty magazine was useless.

The gun battle scared away all the nearby animals. At this time, there was no sound on the grassland. The sound of empty magazines falling into the water seemed very loud, and there was a crisp sound of plop on the water surface.

Regardless of whether it worked or not, this time Gao Yang didn't stay any longer, turned to the depths of the grassland and crawled forward. After he felt that the distance was far enough and he couldn't move anymore, he finally lay down on the ground and rested for a while.

Gao Yang felt that he was really hungry and had no strength at all. He estimated that he had climbed at least three to four hundred meters away.

What Gao Yang needs most now is physical strength. It is an extraordinary time, and it is not time to save money. In desperation, Gao Yang can only find out the remaining piece of chocolate, slowly unwrap the wrapping paper, and swallow the chocolate in two or three bites.

After eating something, Gao Yang felt much more comfortable, and the energy provided by a large piece of chocolate allowed him to persist for a while. After a while, he felt that his body had some strength and he could move again. Gao Yang looked back After a while, he realized that it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Gao Yang made a quick decision, stood up immediately and started to walk south.

Although the right knee still hurts, fortunately, he can still keep moving, but the speed will inevitably be much slower. Gao Yang dare not stop for a moment, so he can only keep walking.

Gao Yang didn't know exactly how long he walked, but he only knew that he walked for a long time, and his rest time became longer and longer. Almost every five minutes of walking, he had to rest for fifteen minutes or even longer. He was thirsty and hungry. , already exhausted to the extreme, if it wasn't supported by the belief that he must go home alive, Gao Yang would have already been lying on the ground.

At this time the moon had already risen, but fortunately it was not a full moon, so it could only provide a little light. Even if there were pursuers behind him, it would not expose Gao Yang's whereabouts.

Looking at the height of the moon, Gao Yang felt that the time should be around two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. Gao Yang, who couldn't hold on anymore, finally decided not to leave.

Gao Yang sat down with his back leaning against a big tree. After he got away from the fighting area, the howling sounds of wild beasts came and went, and some sounds sounded very close to him.

Although he couldn't tell what kind of beast it was, Gao Yang knew that the three big beasts in Africa, lions, leopards, and hyenas, were all active at night, and hyenas were mainly active at night. It is really lucky to meet any beast, but maybe he has already met it, but he doesn't know it.

In fact, the threat of ferocious beasts is not the greatest. What is more terrifying than these ferocious beasts is the overwhelming presence of mosquitoes and other flying insects. They can not only bite full heads, but also spread a series of infectious diseases such as malaria.

Fortunately, before coming to Africa, Gao Yang must of course make some preparations for the African environment. There are no other medicines in the space medical kit, but there must be mosquito repellent.

After spraying some mosquito repellant, Gao Yang couldn't care about anything anymore. Holding the gun with only one bullet in his arms, Gao Yang soon fell asleep.
