Chapter 33: The Road to Escape
The speed of the devil's search was really fast, and soon their traces were tracked, and the two sides once again exchanged fires, and the devils had a great advantage in numbers, seeing that everyone was about to be surrounded by the devils, but everyone couldn't find a place to break through, and for a while all the people could only lie in the reeds and resist stubbornly with the devils.
"This won't work! We can only be the target of the devils here, and the devils have an advantage in numbers, so we can't be able to defeat the devils! You should have made a plan early and quickly found a place to retreat! Li Qing said.
"Retreat? Where to retreat? Zhao Meng asked curiously.
"Retreat!" Li Qing did not hesitate, and replied with an instinctive reaction.
"What? Retreat? Take a good look at what is behind for yourself? Zhao Meng asked in surprise.
Li Qing turned his head and looked behind him, and was immediately taken aback, dozens of kilometers behind him was a very long and wide swamp, which looked like it was boundless, like the sea with no end in sight. He sighed in disappointment.
"There's no way out, but do you have a better way? I can only fight for it! Or you can only be beaten to death by the devils! He said to Zhao Meng beside him.
"How! Ahh I can't think of it! Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment, he scratched his head, and said helplessly: "Alas! I really can't think of a way, forget it, I'll listen to you! Fight for it! Anyway, all the people who were born and died, if they really died in the swamp, then we would have killed so many devils in our lives, it's worth it! After speaking, Zhao Meng grinned.
"Okay, then let's fight! Otherwise, there really is no way to live! "On the one hand, Yonghang should also be peaceful.
"Hehe, you're not afraid of kids, aren't you?" Zhang Biao asked Yonghang with a smile.
"Afraid? If you're afraid, then we're not gentlemen! Yonghang said firmly.
"That's right, if you're afraid, then we'll really become cowards! We have come over so many hardships, and every time we have come through safely! How can you be afraid! Yi Yang also said very firmly.
"Good! You are so ambitious, then I will accompany you to break through! Zhao Meng couldn't help but feel confident when he heard such firm words from everyone.
"Well, the brothers are all together, and that's fine! Let's go ahead together! Isn't it just a broken grass! We can conquer it too! Li Qing said to everyone with confidence.
"Good! Let's break! The brothers said in unison.
Li Qing nodded slightly, looking at everyone's firm expressions, he smiled slightly, how proud and happy he was for this brave team at this time!
"All assembled!" As soon as Li Qing gave an order, all the people hurriedly moved closer to him, and soon gathered together.
"Listen to my orders, all submachine guns as cover, and everyone will follow Lao Tzu to rush into the grass!" Li Qing gave an order, and everyone rushed towards the grass like a group of crazy savages.
This meadow is the swamp, which is actually a wetland, a muddy swamp. It is formed for many reasons, mainly due to the fact that two large rivers run through it from south to north, which play an important role. The course of the two rivers is tortuous, the fork river is horizontal, the terrain is low-lying, and the water flow is stagnant and becomes a swamp. The aquatic weeds are intertwined and knotted, and they are covered with water. The various plants that grow in the swamp form a meadow, and under this meadow, the water is black and muddy, and there are no knees in the shallow places and no roofs in the depths. From a distance, it looks like a gray-green ocean, no hills, no trees, birds and beasts are extinct, people are barren, there are no villages, no roads, east and west, north and south, vast and infinite.
Li Qing first cautiously stepped into the meadow, stepping on the roots of the grass, and slowly advancing along the meadow. With Li Qing's first step, everyone's courage also became stronger, and they slowly moved forward along the route that Li Qing had stepped on, and everyone raised their hearts to their throats, for fear that if there was an accident, the brothers would be killed.
It's hard to live in a swamp! The first is that it is difficult to do. The vast meadow, as far as the eye can see, is full of water and grass swamps and quagmires, and there is no road at all. One has to walk on the meadow, jumping from one meadow to another. Or leaning into the depths with a stick, and a few people supporting them. In this way, at the end of the day, exhausted. What Li Qing was afraid of was that everyone didn't step on the meadow and fell into the quagmire. The mud is generally very deep, and if you struggle desperately upward, you will sink deeper and deeper, and you will be swallowed by the sludge before you have time to rescue it. But you can't save it casually, many brothers are often trapped in one person, and the other person reaches out to pull, and if you use too much force, you will also be taken into it. This made Li Qing and the others anxious, and they explored this method day and night, but there was no breakthrough.
In the end, a brother who was stuck in the quagmire told Li Qing that after he was trapped, he had to move his body slowly to get up, or he could pull it up by wrapping the leggings around the waist of the brother who was trapped. After Li Qing heard this method, he hurriedly promoted it among his brothers, and sure enough, the casualties were reduced.
The muddy water in this swamp is not only undrinkable, but also the legs and feet with broken skin have been soaked, and they will be red, swollen and even ulcerate, it is difficult to get good at once, the brothers have not suffered less, but fortunately, Yan'er has some emergency anti-inflammatory drugs around her, so that their skin has not been particularly harmed.
Another dangerous thing is to cross the river. There are many rivers in this swamp, some of them are a little shallow and some are so wide and so fast that almost every river crossed, even a small one meter deep, there were brothers who fell. Li Qing felt sad every time, he always felt sorry for everyone, every time the brothers died in the swamp, he would cry bitterly, but fortunately, many brothers comforted him, and he felt better in his heart.
Li Qing led everyone on a continuous march for many days, and countless brothers died in this river. Once, when everyone happened to be crossing the river, there was a sudden rainstorm, and the river swelled sharply, and the torrent was rolling, and many brothers were washed away by the boiling river before they could go ashore.
However, the problem of diet is the most optimistic for everyone, the last time we beat the fish we left a lot, barely able to survive a few days, but they are all raw and taste very fishy, but in order to survive, this is naturally no way, everyone can only pinch their noses, endure the fishy smell, and barely eat. In addition, there is a lot of fresh water. So don't worry about eating and drinking.
But the brothers who were trapped in the quagmire did not stand up, they were mercilessly dragged into the quagmire, and their lives came to an end.
"I didn't take good care of my brothers! Worthy of the big brother! These brothers are all iron-clad men every day! A few days later, Li Qing watched more and more people die in the reeds, and there were fewer and fewer brothers around him, and he couldn't help but sigh sadly.
"Brothers won't blame you! It's dangerous to cross the swamp this time, but if we don't rush through this swamp, then we won't only be killed by the devils? Zhao Meng said to Li Qing with a wry smile.
"Let's be careful, take your time, everyone will definitely rush out!" Li Qing said to Zhao Meng with a smile.
"Well, it's good to have faith!" Zhao Meng said with a smile, and Li Qing also laughed.
In the days that followed, everyone encouraged each other to all their brothers, and at the same time kept cheering for themselves, and at last after a week of arduous marching, everyone slowly advanced to the edge of the meadow, and looked at the road at the end of the meadow that was getting closer and closer to them, and everyone laughed happily. After this training, everyone seems to have become stronger.
