"I'm fine!" Representative Xu walked forward tens of meters, stood on the soil slope, looked at the width and velocity of the river, and was very confident.
"I can swim why don't you go back and ask the ferryman?" The man with glasses stretched his hips a little, and even retreated.
"You have never been here?" Hong Tao was a little puzzled. It is said that the rebels have been active in southern Xinjiang for so many years. How could they send such a waste who seems to have no combat effectiveness and no way to know the way to support such an important person.
"Since Ruoqiang was controlled by the unidentified gunmen, it has been less than half a year. We lost eight people on the way here, including two guides who are familiar with the environment. Sorry, Representative Xu, before I Not telling the truthbut we do need help so badly!"
Now that the man with glasses had to tell the truth, he didn't want the rebels to appear so weak, not because he was afraid of losing face, but because he was afraid that he would be too passive in the cooperation and fall into a completely subordinate position.
"The three of them" Representative Xu didn't get angry because she was cheated, she was very concerned about the safety of the other three.
"They are as dangerous as us. There are unknown gunmen in the south, and the west is not very peaceful. The Redeemer has increased its control over Kuqa a few months ago, and sent many hunting teams from the Penance Order. We are also at a disadvantage in the confrontation with them, unless we can bypass Kuqa and reach Wensu and Aks.¡± The man with glasses doesn¡¯t think the western route is easier than the southern route, because he still knows the situation.
"" The woman surnamed Xu still didn't lose her temper, but just looked this way, as if waiting for Hong Tao to finally make up her mind.
"It's useless to look at me. I'm just a herdsman. No matter how knowledgeable I am, I'm still a herdsman" It's a pity that Hong Tao really doesn't have the courage of the hero in the movie.
"Mr. Cao, since it's so dangerous, let him leave, we don't want to risk another life." Representative Xu is like a heroine, compassionate, and wants to let Hong Tao go.
"We can also take the southern route, and let him leave after passing wl county." The man with glasses obviously thought more, hesitated for a moment and proposed another plan.
"Don't worry, big brother, I will pay you no matter whether you arrive in Kuqa or not. This is the advance payment, and the other half will be paid after passing through wl county!" Representative Xu seemed to know what the man in glasses was thinking, nodded, and walked from the slope Walking down, he took out two boxes and handed them to Hong Tao.
"The herdsmen never ask for extra pay. Let's find a way to cross the river first. If the south is so dangerous, it's better to go to the west. I happen to know that an old world road can bypass Kuqa, but I don't know what it will look like now. Are you willing to go to the west?" Do you want to try?"
Hong Tao looked familiar with the two boxes. Iszhawei once let him carry them, and they were called Antibiotic No. 1. But what the woman took out was a little different. The box looked similar, and the font on it was Antibiotic No. 3.
Since she is from the East Asian Union, and this antibiotic is produced in the East Asian Union, judging from this, it seems that No. 3 should be more effective than No. 1, and the price must be higher. If you take it back to the Yining base and sell it, it will indeed be a very generous reward.
However, Hong Tao changed his mind. He is such a character who is holding back and going backwards. If you treat me well, I will try my best to repay you. You don't let me down, and I'm also a hypocrite, even if I pay more, I don't feel bad.
The attitude of this woman just now suits his taste very much. If you agree to hire, then you have to be trustworthy, and you can't just think about your own convenience like the man with glasses. If you think highly of me, I will show my strength.
As for whether it is dangerous, what is dangerous? In the past few years, I have wandered around in northern Xinjiang, from people to animals to zombies. I have never encountered any kind of danger, and I am still alive and kicking now.
Even without the sudden appearance of these two people, I still want to explore the southern border. In addition to the paths that everyone knows, I must find out a few more that others don't know, otherwise how can it be called exploration. If it had to be dangerous, the two of them were actually taking risks with themselves.
"I, I really don't know what to do" The man with glasses obviously didn't expect this result. Even though Hong Tao said that there is no guarantee, but at this moment, going south and west is almost a dead end, why can't he just give it a try? do it.
"Don't thank us Let's move faster. Last night, the hotel owner has seen through your identities, but the person he sent to report fell off the cliff and died. But as long as he finds that the reinforcements have not arrived, he must We will also send someone to report to Barentai, we don¡¯t have much time left.¡±
Hong Tao stretched out his hand to signal the man with glasses not to talk any more, now is not the time to talk nonsense, don't think that passing Tashkent Town means breaking away from the Redeemer's control area.
I can see a woman pretending to be a refugee.After Korla, the innkeeper should be able to see it, and the result of his analysis is no less than his own, and it must be followed by the all-out pursuit of the Ascetic Order.
They not only have horses, but also motorcycles and off-road vehicles. They have to leave this well-known road before those guys chase them, otherwise it will be difficult to get out once they are stuck.
But how to cross the river? Hong Tao unloaded a package from his horse, and when he opened it, it was full of sheepskin and things similar to sheepskin. This is the tool he used to cross the river, the sheepskin bag.
There are sheepskin rafts on the Yellow River. In fact, Kirgiz and Kazakh shepherds also use this method. It's just that the river they need to cross in the transition is not as wide as the Yellow River, so there is no need to make a raft. Two leather bags per person are enough to increase buoyancy, and clothes, weapons and daily necessities are all placed on the horseback.
Horses are better at swimming than humans. They can breathe a lot of air to fill their lungs and abdominal cavity before going into the water. Of course, there is still a difference between horses and hippos. They can only swim for a short time, but cannot swim long distances.
"If I sink, I don't need to be rescued. Take this and send Representative Xu to AKS. There are all our people there!" When taking off his clothes, the man with glasses showed more ink stains than women, leaving only his autumn clothes and long johns Unwilling to take it off, he hesitated and took out a necklace from his boots and handed it to Hong Tao with a very heavy tone.
"I'll put it away first, don't worry, this small river won't drown you Beauty, let's go!" Compared with the man with glasses, Hong Tao and the woman surnamed Xu are much happier. It's three o'clock.
In fact, Hong Tao was lying. Although this river is not as wide as the Yellow River and the water is not so fast, it is still easy to drown people. Because the water temperature is very low, even under the summer sun, the temperature is still not high. It doesn't matter if it's water or not. After a few minutes after going down, the hands and feet will be numb from the cold.
But he was also right. As long as you tie the leather bag and hold the pony's tail, you won't be drowned, but it's freezing enough. When we climbed to the opposite bank, the man in glasses and Representative Xu were already freezing.
"Representative Xu, you must not be an ordinary member, are you?" The three men and two horses happened to stand apart and change clothes. Hong Tao was not too polite, he just stood opposite the woman surnamed Xu, chatting with her across the back of the horse.
"Compared to you, my training is very ordinary. Until now, do you still insist that you are a herdsman?"
Representative Xu is very shameless like Zhou Yuan, who is very comfortable negotiating with her in underwear. Even though she knows that the man is tall enough to see her body over the back of a horse, she still does not dodge and has a clear mind.
"Ha, some things don't need training, and no one can receive this kind of training every day from birth. You may not have seen the scene of Kazakh and Kirgiz herdsmen transitioning. If there is heavy snow in the middle, they can only wrap themselves in sheepskins Sleeping in the snow with the sheep. Even if the sheep freeze to death and the sheepdogs freeze to death, they survive. Don¡¯t underestimate the herdsman, especially the one called Bijs.¡±
In fact, the surname Xu still underestimated Hong Tao's height. Taking advantage of his bending over, he stood on tiptoe to see not only the upper body, but also almost the entire lower body, and then he was relieved. Compared with Zhou Yuan, it can only be regarded as mediocre, and it is not troublesome at all.
"Will the herdsman use a pistol with a silencer?" Representative Xu was extremely curious about this guy who called himself a herdsman, but he didn't show it out of professionalism.
He deliberately blocked it with his cloak while undressing, and stuffed some things into the sheepskin pouch, but the pistol did not escape his eyes, and then he became more curious, and even began to wonder if it was a counterattack sent by the Redeemer. intelligence personnel.
"It's a Russian pistol. It's very powerful and has a lot of ammunition. They were brought in by the Russian survivors. You know that when searching in the ruins, a silencer can save lives. I paid a lot of money. I just got one, and it's nothing compared to my life."
Peeking and chatting did not slow down Hong Tao's dressing speed, he really needed to avoid being discovered his secrets, such as tactical vests, automatic rifles, grenades and that hk45 pistol. As for this Russian-made pistol, let's take a closer look.
"Won't you take off your snow goggles at any time?" Representative Xu can only say that he can't find fault with this answer, but he doesn't believe it 100%. This man was so good at nonsense that he, who had been trained in this field, couldn't figure out whether what he said was true or not.
"My eyes have been stabbed by snow blindness, and I can't see strong light. Do you know how much the snow on the snow-capped mountains reflects sunlight? Especially in summer, it's like being in the middle of a sun panel. If you don't pay attention, you will Burnt. Oh yes, if you have a chance, you must go to the snow mountain to see it, summer, it must be summer, it is beautiful!"
Hong Tao not only has top-notch skills in nonsense, but also top-notch skills in crooked buildings. He can bring people into his thoughts while talking and can't get out of them for a long time. Unless he turns his face, in that case he will not chat with you, and will replace it with bullets and knives. </div>bsp; Hong Tao is not only top-notch in nonsense, but also top-notch in crooked building techniques.
