Dark clouds shrouded the primeval forest on the border, the cold wind whistled over the hills, skimmed over the treetops, with a bit of gloomy atmosphere, the dense woods waved green waves, some small birds fearlessly circled in the sky, flying, looking for food, and occasionally a strange cry of a wild beast came out from the depths of the woods, adding a bit of mystery to this forest.

In a canyon, tall trees are desperately growing for the sun, the trunks are straight, the canopy is dense, blocking the sun, making the ground more dark and damp, without enough sunlight, the ground can not grow weeds and shrubs, only the dead leaves are piled up, exuding a putrid smell, but a heavily armed army walks vigilantly in the woods.

There were a lot of people in this team, the long formation could not see the tail, three well-equipped people opened the way in front, no one spoke, all relied on gestures to communicate, but the cooperation was very tacit, the team gradually accelerated, walking silently in the woods, like a pack of hungry wolves foraging for food.

Unconsciously, the team came to a valley, the valley is not big, there are many wooden houses in it, but there is no one in sight, there are many fences on the periphery to block the invasion of wild beasts, and at the entrance is a sentry box, which is made of pine trees, and it looks quite strong.

Many wooden houses are distributed in a U-shape, with a small open square in the middle, with flat roofs and many branches and dead leaves, which will be considered flat when viewed from above, and it is difficult to see that there are wooden houses below.

This kind of camouflage is very hidden, this kind of wooden house in the primeval forest is naturally extraordinary, this team stopped at a distance, the troops quickly dispersed, in a surrounding situation, all the muzzles of the guns locked on the wooden house, ready for battle, an officer gestured, three people with loaded guns quickly rushed up, in the shape of a zigzag.

The three of them covered each other and took turns to push forward, seeing that no one came out of the valley, they were a little bolder, and continued to push forward, and unconsciously came to the entrance, but still no one came out, there was a strange atmosphere inside, the three were not afraid, two left a guard, and the other put the gun against his shoulder, and quickly rushed in with his body bowed.

The wooden house was quiet, no one came out, the silence was weird, the three of them quickly rushed in, two of them covered, one was responsible for kicking the door, the wooden door was not strong, it was not even locked, it was kicked open, it was empty, there was no one, but there were some simple living items.

The three of them came to the other rooms to search in surprise, perhaps because they did not find any danger, and the large troops behind also rushed in, and in a group of three, they quickly searched all the wooden houses, only to find that there were no general supplies in the wooden houses, and some simple living utensils and supplies were still clean, apparently just evacuated.

No one found any items, the search results were reported to the team leader, the team leader looked around in surprise, with a wave of his hand, the troops quickly got into the wooden house to hide to avoid exposure, and the team leader was not at ease and checked it himself, and his face was a little more solemn.

It didn't take long for the team leader to find the kitchen, which was also a house made of wood, the three cauldrons were already cold, there was a bamboo slice across the window, the bamboo was divided into two, the bamboo in the middle was removed, and the water flowed along the bamboo from the outside into a large wooden barrel in the kitchen.

This is a simple way for mountain people to use nature to get water, very practical, the team leader looks at other wooden barrels, there is one used to hold rice, but only residue is left in the rice bucket, and then look at the dried fruits and dried peppers hanging on the wall, all of which are discarded, and there are some hooks, I don't know what has been hung, and they have been taken away at this time.

The leader picked up the hook and sniffed it, estimated that it was bacon or something, his face became gloomy, and he quickly left the kitchen, and invited the adjutant to explain in a low voice: "The superiors strictly order, you are not allowed to turn on the communication equipment, you go back the same way, report everything here to the superiors, and tell the superiors that the evacuation of the people from this military stronghold will not take more than a day." ”

"Are you saying that the people here have evacuated, and they knew that we were back, so they evacuated early, or did they abandon all the military strongholds on the periphery and shrink their forces to the hinterland? If so, then the enemy is well prepared and very bad for us. The adjutant whispered in surprise.

"It's okay, everything is being calculated, let's infiltrate into the other party's hinterland as planned, and then say, you take two people with you, go and return quickly." The team leader said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The adjutant agreed, and hurried away.

The leader quickly gave the order to let the troops rest in the wooden hut of this stronghold, eat something to replenish their strength, and after an hour, the troops continued to advance, the spearhead opened the way in front, and the long column was difficult to detect in the woods, and did not encounter any obstacles along the way, which surprised and delighted the leader.

At dusk, the sky was getting dark, the team came to a hill, everyone was well-trained and scattered, each looking for a place to hide, the team of dozens of people silently integrated with the surrounding nature, difficult to see, but the team leader hid behind a bush and stared vigilantly ahead.

In front of it is an open flat land, the low bushes are swaying in the wind, the colorful flowers in the bushes are particularly eye-catching, swaying with the wind, like a short elf wearing colorful clothes dancing, Miaoman's figure flickering, the flowers swallow the sunset, there is a unique scene.

Farther away, there are some low bungalows, sparse and sparse, the bungalows are full of smoke, faintly there are chickens and dogs, the bungalows are surrounded by some terraced fields, scattered, shrouded in the sunset, foggy, fog shrouded the mountains, the village looks like a suitable shade of ink painting, revealing a peaceful, tranquil atmosphere.

The team leader looked at this scene and pondered, and a person hurriedly came over, squatted beside the team leader and looked ahead, and whispered: "Head, all the border blockade lines have been evacuated, and no danger has been found along the way, what is the Dragon Kingdom going to do?" We've arrived near the designated location, what do we do next? ”

"Don't panic, let's take a look, we arrived an hour earlier than scheduled, so there's plenty of time." As he spoke, the team leader took out a map from his pocket, spread it out on the ground, checked it against the surrounding terrain, pointed in one direction and said in a deep voice: "According to the information provided by the superiors, there is a metal mine that has been abandoned for many years over there, which is our predetermined hiding place. ”

"Yes." The other party agreed, and quickly bowed his body and retreated, and after a while, the team slowly touched in the other direction, without making any sound, and did not even touch the branches, showing that it was a well-trained person, but these people never imagined that someone in a certain family in the farm was staring at this scene with a telescope.
