Chapter 2 comrade-in-arms, betrayal

The next morning, at dawn, Zhong Cheng and Ma Qiang opened their eyes almost at the same time. Both of them had reasons to go deep into the forest quickly, so they woke up at the same time when the conditions were right.

The two couldn't help looking at each other and smiling, but the meaning of the smile was slightly different. Zhong Cheng's smile made him feel satisfied because of the tacit understanding between himself and Ma Qiang; Ma Qiang's smile was the irrepressible joy that the goal was about to be achieved.

The two of them were equipped in the car and were about to get off the car. Zhong Cheng suddenly stopped Ma Qiang.

"Ma Qiang, to be honest, this is my personal problem. It's benevolent that you can drive here with me. I can't let you do stupid things with me. So, just sit here and wait for me to come back. Of course, if I haven't come out of it for five days, then don't worry about me and drive back by yourself. Do you understand?" Zhong Cheng looked at Ma Qiang and said sincerely.

"What?" The unexpected development made Ma Qiang open his mouth wide and stunned. Next, he roared at Zhong Cheng angrily, "Zhong Cheng. What do you mean, boy? You don't want to go in by yourself! You didn't say that when we came here! That's good. If you want me to enter, I won't enter if I don't! Let me tell you, no way! I have to go in today!"

Looking at his comrades-in-arms and friends angry at him, Zhong Cheng smiled instead.

"It's because others care about you." Zhong Chengsi said. However, he still has to try his best to keep Ma Qiang here. The road ahead is too dangerous.

Zhong Cheng lowered his face and said in a low voice, "Ma Qiang, I now order you as the captain not to go into the forest with me!"

"Hmm, joke! Zhong Cheng, there is something wrong with your brain! This operation is not within the scope of the mission. I have no reason to follow your orders! Anyway, today I am determined to go to this primitive forest to find out! Whoever dares to stop me, I want him to look good!" Ma Qiang patted his pistol bag at Zhong Cheng.

"Ha... Why can't you listen to my advice? To be honest, I have a hunch that this forest will be in danger. Zhong Cheng knows best what Ma Qiang's temper is. He has made such a statement. It seems that he has no reason to say it. However, he has to make at least a second try.

"So there is something wrong with your brain! How can I let you go to such a dangerous place alone? One more person, there will always be more than one. Ma Qiang looked at Zhong Cheng with a bad smile.

Zhong Cheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly and the persuasion strategy fell through.

"It seems that you should not have shown mercy last night, and you should have knocked you unconscious at that time! I see if you still have the strength to go with me today. Zhong Cheng held a big dark green backpack in his arms and complained while checking.

"I said, come on," Ma Qiang was also checking the man's own equipment. "Even if you knock me unconscious, I will still rush in when I wake up. As a result, you didn't stop me, but also weakened our combat effectiveness. The gains outweigh the losses!" With that, Ma Qiang took out the domestic pistol in his pocket, glanced at it, and put it back.

"Well, I won't say anything. Come if you want. However, you have to promise me that you must not die in it. Zhong Cheng closed the zipper of his backpack and said to Ma Qiang.

Ma Qiang said carelessly, "You can rest assured that you don't die. How dare I die! Let's go." After saying that, he opened the door beside him, carried a backpack weighing nearly 50 or 60 pounds, and jumped out of the car.

"Ha...why is it like this..." He was still very guilty. Zhong Cheng sighed again and got out of the jeep helplessly. He never wanted his friend to accompany him on risks, but he had no choice but to do, his friend was as bad-tempered as himself. As long as it is decided, it will never change. Zhong Cheng had to sigh about this.

The two came out of the car. Under Zhong Cheng's reminder, they checked the jeep again, confirmed that there was no fault, and the two special forces carrying big backpacks walked step by step to the center of Longnan Mountain.

The southern land of Longnan is full of mountains, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the vegetation is rich, and the flow is endless. This area roughly includes the mountainous areas south of Weishui, Lintan and the east of Diebu, which is the western extension of the Qinling Mountains. The mountains and hills are high and low in the west and low in the east, the green mountains are facing each other, the streams are steep, and the peaks are steep, just like the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and the five mountains are towering. The "slim beauty" of southern Xinjiang and the "roughness" of northern Xinjiang have been perfectly integrated here.

But at the same time, such an environment and geographical location are destined to be an uninhabited wilderness.

Zhong Cheng and Ma Qiang are both excellent soldiers of the special forces. During normal training, the survival skill of survival in the field has never been abandoned. Therefore, despite the twists and turns of the mountain road, they can still move forward calmly. Naturally, their physical strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

It has been a while since they got off the bus. They have also had some understanding of the beauty and magnificence of Longnan Mountain.

Looking at the towering trees on both sides and the muddy path that can never be walked, they naturally lost the nature of appreciating the beautiful scenery. Fortunately, the fresh air in the forest always stimulates their brains so that they will not lose their way in the boring progress. Both of them kept silent at this time and walked step by step towards the hinterland of the mountain.

According to the vague map, the location marked in the map should be located in the center of Longnan Mountain. They have driven as close as possible to this area, and I don't think it will take long to get to the center.

So far, Ma Qiang has not taken any action. There is still a lot of time today, and he is not in a hurry. He knows very well that this is by no means a good opportunity to do it. Zhong Cheng's nerves have been tense from just now to now. When you come to the wild, tightening nerves is also the foundation. If you take action at this time, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes.

Ma Qiang's lifelong principle is to take action only when it is completely beneficial to him.

"Hey, boss, do you think there will be tigers here?" In order to relax Zhong Cheng, Ma Qiang said with some laughter.

"I don't know, but if there really is, the two of us will be miserable." Zhong Cheng did not divert his attention. He held the dark black pistol that opened the safety tightly and was alert around.

"Miserable? Don't you say that our two bullets can't penetrate the tiger's skin?

"Bullshit! Talk nonsense! Naturally, I'm not worried that I can't beat tigers, but tigers are national first-class protected animals. Kill it, we will be locked in the iron room.

"It's the same."

"Don't talk so much nonsense. Keep calm and vigilant in the wild. Have you forgotten that? If you have time to brag with me, you might as well pay more attention to the surroundings!" Zhong Cheng reminded Ma Qiang.

"Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me..." Ma Qiang was a little absent-minded. "I said, what are you so nervous about? We're not on a mission. Do you have to hold your black iron so tightly?

"You boy know nothing!" Zhong Cheng broke a mouthful of saliva, "Is it possible to suddenly jump out of an unknown creature like this deep mountain forest without tightening your nerves?"

Ma Qiang was amused by Zhong Cheng's unconscious sentence, "You can't say that a monster suddenly jumped out!" What do you want me to say about you? You are really childlike. Ultraman has seen a lot!"

"Cut!" Zhong Cheng couldn't help blushing, and he was very ashamed now.

"Anyway, be careful to make the ten-thousand-year-old ship. The atmosphere here is strange. Let's not be careless." After ridiculing, Zhong Cheng regained his composure and majesty as a captain and soldier.

"Well, I know." Ma Qiang is very clear about Zhong Cheng's thoughts. After talking with Zhong Cheng for so long, he knows exactly what to say. Zhong Cheng will never joke about the lives of the team members.

Thinking this way, he is indeed a good captain. Unfortunately, there was a cruel smile on Ma Qiang's face. Who let you always stand in my way?

Time passed quickly, and in a flash, it was noon. The two stopped to rest for a moment, ate some compressed dry food, and moved forward again.

Boring and tedious steps repeatedly stepped on the winding mountain road. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid I couldn't stand it. But for the two people with many years of experience in special forces, they only feel a little tired. Although the road is a little difficult to walk, there is no real danger so far. Thank God.

"Big boss, what do you think that is?" Ma Qiang suddenly stopped and pointed to the front and said.

At this time, it was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them came to an open space in the forest. In the middle of the open space, an ancient well was built in discord.

Zhong Cheng stroked his chin and looked carefully at the dust-stained ancient well in front of him, and his eyes were also full of doubts.

"It doesn't make sense to stand here and fantasize. Let's go and have a look." Zhong Cheng said and strode to the side of the ancient well. Carefully look at this ancient well that doesn't know the age.

Looking at this ancient well closely, it has indeed been some years. The stone of the stone well has been blurred and fragile under the weathering of many years. There are several large spider webs at the opening of the ancient well, proving that its construction is definitely not a recent thing.

But what Zhong Cheng is most curious about is the unknown characters depicted on Gujing's body. Due to the erosion of time, the ancient characters depicted on the ancient well of the unknown era have long been blurred, and only some vague traces can be faintly seen.

"Ma Qiang, look at this ancient well..." Zhong Cheng turned his head and wanted to explain the situation to Ma Qiang, but the cold muzzle in Ma Qiang's hand made him unable to say a word.

"What are you doing!" Zhong Cheng's first reaction was not fear, but anger! It was a heartfelt anger deceived by his companions.

"What am I doing? After being a soldier for so many years, can't you see it? Ma Qiang looked playfully at Zhong Cheng, who was trembling with anger, and smiled coldly.

"Do you want to kill me?" Zhong Cheng has completely blackened his face. Even if he doesn't want to believe it, this is a fore.

"Of course, why would I accompany you to this place where 'chickens don't poop, birds don't lay eggs'?" Ma Qiang's voice was extremely cold. The cold muzzle seemed to be ready to spit out a cruel tongue of fire at any time.

"Uh...at least, let me know why." Zhong Cheng was a little discouraged and sighed dementedly. He is not afraid of death. As a soldier fighting on the front line, he is always ready to sacrifice for his motherland. But he never dreamed that the heroism in his fantasy would be such an embarrassed appearance.

"Ha ha, I wanted to blow your head right away. But for the sake of you and I have been working together for so many years. I'll tell you with mercy." Ma Qiang smiled cruelly, "The reason why I want to kill you is very simple. Who asked you to do something bad for me? Do you want to get in my way? Let me tell you honestly! Your position as captain should have been mine! Obviously, I want to be much better, and obviously I want to be more powerful! But just because you are a military commander, just because your grandfather is a retired commander! I have to give this position to you! I'm not reconciled! A guy like you should just die!" With that, Ma Qiang was furious and his red eyes were full of murder. His right hand may pull the trigger at any time.

Zhong Cheng sighed silently and exclaimed, "Is it worth betraying friends just because of this kind of thing? I really don't know how to make friends. It seems that I am the only one who regards you as a friend! Do it." Whether it is anger or regret, it doesn't matter at this moment.

Zhong Cheng opened his heart and was frankly ready to accept what was about to happen. Bury this pain of being betrayed by a "good" friend forever!

He died today. He neither complained about heaven nor people. He only complained that he had a pig brain and didn't see Ma Qiang's true face. It's really hard to draw dragons and tigers, and it's hard to draw bones!

If you die today, just admit it.

Close your eyes and quietly wait for death. However, the expected bullet did not arrive as expected. Zhong Cheng and Ma Qiang heard a tiger roar almost at the same time.

The tiger roar appeared, and Zhong Cheng opened his eyes in an instant. He saw a yellow and white tiger attacking him from behind Ma Qiang with its teeth and claws. Ma Qiang rolled aside and avoided the tiger's sharp claws.

At this time, it is undoubtedly the best time for Zhong Cheng to fight back. What is hateful is that the damn tiger has no professionalism at all. Seeing Ma Qiang avoiding the attack, it actually put the target on Zhong Cheng, who had just pulled out his gun to fight back.

"Wow!!!!" The tiger roared, jumped and rushed directly to Zhong Cheng.

"Beast!" Zhong Cheng cursed and did not release the bullet, but jumped back to avoid the tiger's attack. Of course, there is a reason why he did this, regardless of whether the power of his pistol can kill the tiger. Even if he is lucky enough to kill the tiger, Ma Qiang beside him will never let go of this rare opportunity. I'm afraid that as soon as the tiger is solved, he will be solved by Ma Qiang.

Therefore, he cleverly chose to retreat. With the flexible skills of its special forces, it was not difficult to retreat in an instant.

It seems to be a seamless plan, but he missed an extremely important event. There is such an unknown ancient well standing on his back.

Zhong Cheng, who was in a panic, ignored this key factor, so he just stepped back and clearly felt that his legs were tripped by something. Then, losing his center of gravity, he fell head and foot into the ancient well.

"Ai!" Ma Qiani was shocked. He never thought that Zhong Cheng would do such a suicide. Did this tiger horribly bring him to the point where he had to jump out for his life? However, he didn't have time to think too much. The big tiger that lost its target had rushed to him with its teeth and mouth.

"Hmm, find your own way to die!" With a cold hum, Ma Qiang didn't want to give in to the tiger.

After a few roars of gunfire, the forest returned to calm again.

Ma Qiang ignored the tiger that would be pierced by himself and went straight to the ancient well. He looked inside the ancient well and couldn't help taking a breath of cold air. The ancient well could not see the depth clearly. All he can see is a piece of darkness.

It is bottomless, and this is the only adjective that can be used.

Faling from this bottomless hole, the boy is on his head and feet. He should not be able to climb out again, right? Although he thought about it so much, Ma Qiang was still worried. He found several pieces of stone weighing 100 catties in the forest to overlap at the wellhead one by one. It was not until he couldn't add a height of 1.5 meters that he stopped the work.

This laborious work made Ma Qiang feel much more at ease. He looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already past six o'clock, and the sun in the sky gradually became dim. There were tigers in the mountains. Ma Qiang was worried about being attacked again, so he kept returning along the same road.

After leaving the forest, find a place where there is no one, get rid of the jeep, and everything will be seamless. Thinking of the bright future, Ma Qiang couldn't help smiling with victory.

He didn't know that the ancient well in the forest had disappeared, leaving only a few large gray-white stones.
