Chapter 1713 - On Paper
A veteran of the battlefield can treat all this as a big deal in all kinds of complex and difficult situations, and try every means to make his life more comfortable.
In fact, life is like this, there are always all kinds of unsatisfactory and hardships in life, how to adjust and avoid, it depends on their own skills, and it is always those losers who complain about the sky and wait to die.
Buck even made himself a cup of strong tea, which the locals loved, and climbed up to the roof with a comfortable hiccup, sitting on the edge of the steps to watch the morning fog slowly disappear around him, observing his surroundings.
Xiang Wan is right, you can see the water surface from a distance to the east, and the surrounding area is almost all boundless tidal flats, there are many traces of horizontal and vertical driving, and there are also artificially divided fields, but the seemingly scattered green indicates that it has been barren for a long time, and the civil strife that has lasted for several years has made these places no longer cultivated, and the too flat wilderness has no defensive value, so it is a large area of no man's land.
There is a village area due north, the distance is about less than a kilometer, there should be no one empty, the distance of the waterfront due east is about two kilometers, and there is nothing else to refer to except for the scattered courtyard earth houses at the feet.
The thick fog on the surface of the lake made it impossible for Buck to look out at what was on the other side of the shore, but it seemed that there were no signs of ships and docks on his side, and it was indeed very safe.
The child carefully and sensibly put away all the food he had eaten, carried it to the back seat of the car, piled it with other food supplies, and rubbed an AK rifle in his arms, and moved to sit on the side of the steps next to Buck.
For children who grew up in war, there is an inexplicable trust in guns, which may be a proof of a sense of strength and security, but the move to get close to Buck shows that he is really a child.
Buck finished smoking a cigarette and drinking tea, and looked in all directions, and carefully twisted the cigarette butt into the crack in the stone before getting up: "Let's go! Let's go to the shore and see ......."
Started the car and followed the wheel prints on the ground that should have been a long time ago, when there were still two or three hundred meters, I found a small stone house to park in concealment, and then walked to the shore, there was nothing to cover, Buck put on his black backpack, carried an AK rifle and began to walk, the child stumbled and learned to hold it with his length and short, and tangled in the pile of materials to find a bag with pancakes on his back, before he followed, Buck suggested that he might as well take a bottle of water: "You cough a lot, drink more water." ”
The Achika did the same.
However, when the two figures, one large and one small, walked along the vast tidal flats to the water's edge, the child was already staggering and had to grit his teeth to persevere, and Buck reached out and took off the heaviest rifle, weighing nearly ten pounds and 87 centimeters in length, which was too heavy a burden for a child who was not much taller.
It's just that the little eyes full of gratitude saw Buck take it, and sprayed disinfectant everywhere on the rifle before hanging it on his shoulder, the child pouted aggrievedly and squatted down with his knees hugged, squatting farther away, feeling discriminated again, wearing only a gray robe, a small body with bandages and looking pitiful, but the curly little short hair and black eyes were quite clever.
After a while, though, he quietly moved towards Buck, but remained two meters away.
Buck also crouched down, using a bush of wild plants such as reeds on the shore to shield himself from looking through a telescope.
After this while, if there is a substantial water fog still not dispersed, Buck looked at it for a while and couldn't do anything, so he had to put away the binoculars and sit in the pile of plants to ponder, fortunately, according to what the old man said, there are still two or three days, and he can take many ways and means to get close to the opposite side, but it is really not possible to drive more than ten kilometers upstream along the water surface is the urban area, and naturally he can cross the river and go around to the other side of the lake, but there is a lot of fighting and people everywhere.
It's really not good, it's no problem to swim across the lake of more than 300 meters by yourself, but the key is to can't see what is on the other side, if you swim past a few machine guns full of mounts there, isn't it a live target to shoot watermelons?
Buck, who is accustomed to observing from a high point between the mountains and mountains in Eastern Europe, scratched his head a little, and suddenly missed Lin Dong's multicopter at this time.
Of course, this is all cranky, and he unintentionally saw Acheka squatting with both hands pinching the tattered sandals under his feet and rubbing the closer point, staring at the monocular in his hand all the time, the child's curiosity was not concealed at all, Buck thought about it and made a demonstration: "In this way, don't stick it to your eyes, don't touch your eyes, understand?" and then handed it over, anyway, it will be disinfected later, but don't touch the eyepiece, and it will be a little uncomfortable to look at it with your naked eyes at that time.
The child happily took it, and Buck simply used child labor: "Look in several directions, if there is any movement, you can see clearly when the fog on the other side of the river has dispersed, and they all call me ......"
Acheka nodded vigorously to indicate that he could do things, and Buck leaned down comfortably to take a nap in the hay, the morning sun was basking and strangely lazy.
Such an open area, anyone who wants to get close to this place can be found hundreds of kilometers away, and Buck, who is rarely relaxed, finally relaxes and sleeps on the river beach.
As a result, when he was woken up, Achika took a long reed and plucked his nose far away, and the child jumped very anxiously: "Over there, there is a ...... over there."
Buck's sleepy eyes were hazy and he pointed to the water facing the shore, so he was not too anxious, took the telescope, sprayed disinfectant first, wiped it clean before aiming at it, in fact, he didn't need a telescope, he could see the figure!
The hot sun was already hanging high in the sky, the fog had completely dispersed, and the turquoise lake was particularly eye-catching in the middle of this large area of desolate loess, and then Buck was surprised to see that the opposite side was not the same tidal flat as he imagined, on a small hill with undulating yellow rock and soil, it was actually very three-dimensional and complete with walls, towers, and big houses!
The lake is not muddy and mudflat, and there is a group of sheep grazing leisurely in the green grass!
The green trees around the hills make it feel like a desert oasis and a paradise!
Such a place could be a secret stronghold of the IS Army?
The sight in the telescope was very scenic, with masked figures dressed in black swaying around walls, towers, and houses, and crowds of people on the flat hills!
And even with Buck's little Arab experience, some of the black robes are obviously women!
Look at the crowd in line, all of them are holding guns in their hands, drilling, shooting, and some are running and rolling in line!
It's just that I'm used to watching people in sportswear do these actions, and now I change to a masked black robe to do it, which is really a little uncomfortable!
Buck couldn't help but call his wife: "Sabascu...... How does it look like a castle?"
Xiang Wan, who has always talked on paper, was also a little surprised: "I ...... Look for more information!"
