Chapter 258: Find the Culvert
The continuous drizzle stopped in the middle of the night, as if knowing that the first team had action, and could not bear to hinder it, and the next day, when the sky was still dark, the deputy captain led several soldiers to leave quickly, and the rest of the people cleaned up in the cave, erased the traces and left in groups, and went to their assigned areas to reconnoitre.
Liu Wu knew the value of Li Rui from Lei Xiaotian, and did not dare to hand over Li Rui's safety to others, so he personally joined a group with Li Rui, and left the cave with their own equipment, and the two climbed a hillside, went south, sneaked all the way, and came to a hillside after about an hour.
On one side of the hillside is the valley, the base of the Dark Alliance, and on the other side is the vast woods, with no end in sight, Li Rui stood under a big tree and carefully looked at the terrain trend, the underground river also has a certain rule, and it generally follows the mountain veins, Li Rui observed for a while, exchanged opinions with Liu Wu, and then looked for a direction.
Descending the hillside, there is a gentle area in front of it, the trees are towering, covering the sky and the sun, people walking on the ground can not see the sun at all, the air is a little cold, and the surroundings are full of unknown cicadas chirping irritably, as if they are quarreling, and Li Rui who listened to it was also a little upset.
The two of them covered each other one after the other and pushed forward carefully, and from time to time a few poisonous scorpions or poisonous snakes could be seen under the rotten leaves on the ground, fortunately, these things were also afraid of humans, and they hid away early, Li Rui walked cautiously for a while, and suddenly, a poisonous spider fell from the tree, the long silk thread looked very weird, and what was even more strange was that this poisonous spider's body was the size of a fist, and it also had a baby face.
The poisonous spider seemed to realize the danger, suddenly broke the silk thread and fell to the ground, its long limbs and feet moved quickly, and walked quickly in one direction, and there was a strange muffling sound in his mouth, Liu Wu rushed over with an arrow step, and saw that the poisonous spider's face changed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Ghost-faced spider, haven't you been bitten?" ”
"Nope." Li Rui replied with palpitations, this thing came too suddenly, and it suddenly fell from the air, silently, unguardable, and couldn't help but look up cautiously, but a huge tree was full of colorful things, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and said in a low voice: "Above." ”
Liu Wu looked up in surprise, his face changed greatly, and he quickly made a silent gesture, pulling Li Rui to escape as if he was evacuating, Li Rui also saw that these things were not simple, and quickly spread his legs to follow, and the two ran out for two or three hundred meters in one go, Liu Wu breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and looked around carefully, and said in a low voice after making sure that there was no danger: "It's a poisoned dart frog, fortunately it didn't alarm them." ”
"Amazing?" Li Rui asked in surprise.
"Isn't that amazing? There are thousands of them, and once they attack, they fly like arrows, how many can you kill? The key is that they can also spray venom, which is very corrosive, and once they get wet, they will be in trouble, not to mention us, even if the wolves encounter this large-scale poison dart frog, they have to walk around, don't you see the flowers on them? It's mutated, it's poisonous. Liu Wu explained with palpitations.
"It looks like a hundred flowers blooming in the canopy, but you're right, the more beautiful things in this forest, the more poisonous they are, but fortunately I didn't alarm them just now, let's go." Li Rui hurriedly agreed, he had a deeper understanding of this forest, it was too dangerous, even frogs couldn't be provoked.
The two walked forward cautiously, through the woods, a wide river appeared in front of them, the river water was very gentle, perhaps because of the rain, the water was a little turbid, there were many dead leaves and dead animal corpses floating on it, Li Rui looked at the river, and suddenly saw that there was water backing downstream, as if there was a spring below.
"Huh? Go over and take a look. Li Rui said in surprise, strode downstream, and soon came to the place where the river was backflowing, Li Rui stopped and looked at the backrushing river, there were debris gushing out of it, and after a closer look, there was no shortage of toilet paper and feces, and suddenly thought of something, Daxi, and looked at Liu Wu.
Liu Wu also saw the fame, and said in surprise: "This is it, I didn't expect to find it so smoothly, it's great, but it looks like the drainage canal is at the bottom of the river, a little deep, there is no diving device, it's not easy to get." ”
"The enemy should be the drainage canal built during the dry season, it has rained in the past two days, and it is the rainy season, and the flood is overflowing, and it flows into the river, and the water level is naturally high, but it is easy to do if you find it." Li Rui looked at the surrounding terrain and followed the gentle mountain ridge to the mountains, which used to be the direction of the enemy's base.
"This drain doesn't look small." Liu Wu said excitedly.
Li Rui didn't answer, but continued to observe the surroundings, and soon there was an abnormality in the vegetation, one section was obviously lower, Li Rui pointed to the low vegetation in surprise and said: "Captain, you see, the vegetation on this line is much shorter, and there should be a drainage canal below, let's go over and take a look." ”
"It's a little weird, it's a little shorter and sparse, it seems to be artificially planted, could it be that the bottom was dug into a drainage channel, and in order to avoid exposure, trees were planted later?" Liu Wu analyzed suspiciously, and seeing that Li Rui had already stepped forward, he hurriedly caught up, carefully staring at the surrounding woods, just in case.
The two of them walked forward along the low woods, and unconsciously came to the vicinity of the mountain, only then did they find that there was a huge waterhole at the foot of the mountain, and there was water bubbling out of the waterhole, but unfortunately it was all sewage, but the sewage did not overflow, and always maintained a certain amount, Li Rui walked to the edge of the waterhole to see, there was a culvert inside, and the sewage flowed back along the culvert.
"So that's it, the water of the underground river came out of this pool, and then flowed down the culvert into the river, and in order to avoid exposure, they replanted the plants on the culvert, but fortunately you were able to find it, otherwise who would have found such a place? The entire waterhole is mostly obscured by dense bushes, and it is absolutely impossible to see it until it is in front of it. Liu Wu smiled with some joy.
"The water of the underground river seems to come up directly, and the strength of the surge is not very large, indicating that it will not be too deep below, it should be no more than ten meters, let's find a way to sink the laser mine into the dark river and then blow it up, so that the enemy can't dredge it in a short time, and the plan is half." Li Rui also breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the waterhole and said with a smile.
"It's just that the surroundings are not very conducive to ambushes, and snipers can be ambushed on the mountain, but the surroundings are too open, and there are few of us, so this battle is not easy to fight." Liu Wu said helplessly.
"Not necessarily, there are mountains in the north, it is enough to arrange snipers, others are ambushed in the east, let go in the west, and there are rivers in the south, there is no strategic depth, and the enemy cannot come from the south." Li Rui said with a smile.
"Let go of the west?" Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, reacted suddenly, and said with a smile: "You kid is really bad enough, there are a large number of poison dart frogs in the west, and it will definitely be very troublesome for the enemy to come from there, I think it's okay, hahaha." ”
Li Rui also smiled, and the tiger's eyes were full of confident battle intent.
