Chapter 1
The sparse stars sprinkled a little light and fell among the undulating mountains. The soft light dyed a hazy color on the forest at night through the dense canopy, and decorated a few faint spots on the open space between the forest. The night is very dark, and the forest is quiet. Only some unknown night animals occasionally make low calls, and the gentle sound of the mountain wind occasionally blowing the leaves makes the forest more quiet. On a hillside, there is a light yellow and wide tent beside the dense forest on the hillside. On the edge of the tent, a bonfire has already burned out. In the tent, a camp light shines faintly. On the side, a young man with an oriental face sleeps on a travel backpack, lying on a blanket and sleeping with clothes, and holding a novel in his hand. This man is very young, about in his early twenties, his face is slightly pale, and his body is a little thin. The dark sportswear looks very new, but it is a little damaged. The legs of the trousers are still stained with mud that has already been dried out, and the shoes are also full of plaster. At a glance, it can be seen that it has been a long journey.
A few steps to the south of the tent is a slope, opposite a steep cliff, with a deep valley in the middle, with bushes, weeds everywhere, and sparsely large trees. The mountain wind in May blew into the valley, sending bursts of coolness along the long and narrow valley, driving the branches and leaves of the vegetation and making a rustling sound. In the distant mouth of the valley, a few dark shadows suddenly appeared, and the shadows increased one after another. They quickly walked out of the dark place and showed their true face under the cold starlight - a fully armed team. The leader was a white man with blonde hair, about 40 years old, with a cold face and knife-like eyes, looking around from time to time. Behind him, there were more than 20 men with guns who looked extremely tough. They were all in combat uniforms and painted with oil on their faces, like a special force, but somehow they came to this deep mountain in the middle of the night.
After coming to the middle of the valley, the leading man stretched out his hand, and the crowd immediately stopped. He carefully observed the terrain, and then made a gesture. Several subordinates slowed down and carefully pushed forward. They came all the way to the mouth of the valley at the other end, so the team moved forward again. After walking for a while, the leading man suddenly noticed a yellow object on the slope in front of the left. He picked up the telescope and looked at a big man with a scar on the corner of his eyes pointing to the tent in the distance. The big man looked in the direction he pointed and smiled cruelly.
After watching the team disappear at the mouth of the valley, the big man found a relatively gentle place to go uphill and walked to the position of the tent. Although he is big, his footsteps are light and silent. He can easily climb up with a little relay when he touches a steep place, just like an ape. Obviously, he is a veteran. When he came to the camp, the big man's tense nerves relaxed. Judging from the style of the tent and the simple cooking utensils used, he knew that it was just an ordinary passenger. Since he is an ordinary person, there is no need to worry about it. Even if you find him, you can't resist at all. He walked quickly, lifted the tent, picked up the camp light, and looked interestingly at the sleeping young man in the tent. Under the light, he looked calm and breathed smoothly. It seemed that he did not know that his life was coming to an end at all.
The young man has actually woken up. After the big man relaxed his vigilance, his footsteps intensified, and he was awakened by shock. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up and looked out. Through the cracks in the tent, he found a fierce man coming towards him with a gun. He was shocked and immediately woke up. It was too late to escape. He had to lie down and pretend to sleep. He was usually calm. Although he was extremely nervous, he behaved as if he was really asleep, and the big man could not see the flaw for a moment.
After a while, the big man smiled softly, and the young man suddenly felt a sense of danger. He opened his eyes slightly and was shocked to find that a pistol was pointing at him. He didn't want to think about it. He quickly rolled over and kicked the big man at the same time. The big man didn't expect that he was awake. He was slightly stunned. The gun sounded softly, and the bullets shot on the blanket where the young man was lying. At the same time, he instinctively bent down with a sharp pain in his lower body. Although the blow was not heavy, it just hit him. The big man covered his lower body in pain, and the pistol fell under his feet. The young man immediately rushed to grab the gun. The big man's reaction was also extremely fast. When the young man was about to touch the gun, he was grabbed by him. His strength was not comparable to that of the young man. He was tightly grasped by him, and his hands were Unable to move, the young man did not hesitate and immediately bit the big man's arm heavily. The big man let out a cry of pain and threw it off the ground, and the tent shook. The young man knew that there was no hope of grabbing the gun and did not dare to stay long. He immediately lifted the tent behind him and ran out. The big man's arm twitched, and his flesh and blood were blurred. The wound was deeply sunk. Unexpectedly, a piece of meat was bitten off. In the fierce pain, he couldn't help but be angry. He immediately picked up the gun and rushed out of the tent. He saw the young man running to the depths of the dense forest beside him. He fired several shots in a row, but the night helped the young man and failed to hit a single shot. The big man He was even more ashamed and angry, and then rushed into the forest and chased after the young man.
The two escaped and chased, and gradually went deep into the woods. The young man walked through this road during the day. He knew everything about where he could pass and where he needed to take a detour, but the big man knew nothing about it. Therefore, although he had speed and physical advantages, he could not play it in this forest, but he chased further and further. However, after all, this is not a tropical rainforest. This is the only place that is difficult to walk, followed by a flat land. Although the trees are dense, it does not affect the movement. It is not so easy for young people to escape again. The young man running in this direction is not unaware of this, but has other plans. After a while, the big man felt the change of the forest, and the road under his feet was much better. He was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, he chased him not far away, but suddenly lost the trace of the young man. He walked around a few times and didn't find any clue. The young man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
The big man had no choice but to return to the camp and enter the tent again. He opened the backpack left by the young man and found out a few documents.
"Is it called Wang Qi... Humph, damn Chinese." The big man looked through the young man's passport and scolded hatefully. Wait and see, you can't escape the palm of my hand, the big man said secretly. Although he is not very good at shooting, after all, he has been a mercenary for more than ten years. His comprehensive ability is still very strong and he is also a little famous in the circle. Otherwise, after joining the family, he will not have the opportunity to participate in this top-secret operation. If Wang Qi hadn't reacted too fast, he would have despised him first, and it would have been impossible for him to escape with a gun.
A gunshot suddenly sounded from the other side of the valley, and then the gunfire sounded loudly, which lasted for more than 20 minutes before slowly calming down.
"Red, what's the matter? Why haven't you come yet?" The big man suddenly received a call from the team.
"The target has run away. I'm tracking it." Red Road.
"What did you say?" The other side was surprised and said, "This is not like a mistake you can make. You should know that this action must not be leaked. You don't have to meet us. After solving the opponent, go straight back to the family."
"I understand." Red Road.
Red cleared part of his backpack, leaving only food and water, and Wang Qi's certificate. He carried it on his shoulder and walked out of the tent. He doesn't dare to despise Wang Qi now. Judging from his series of reactions, except for his weaker strength, it is remarkable. It is not easy for an ordinary person to achieve this level. However, it's not a matter of a day or two to get out of this forest. He has a lot of time to look for it, and Wang Qi even has a problem with food. He doesn't believe that he can escape from the palm of his hand. In case Wang Qi really escapes from the sky, since he knows his identity, it is not difficult to kill him outside.
Wang Qi hid in the cave under the rock and quietly waited for Red to leave. He walked through this road during the day. At that time, he sat on it and rested. He found that this hidden cave was also an accident, and he didn't expect it to help him a lot at night. It turned out to be the nest of a large animal, probably a bear or something, but when Wang Qi found it, there were only a few rabbits in it, so Wang Qi occupied this small nest at ease. If it was really a bear hole, it was really a problem whether to go in or not. It was better to be killed by a bear.
Red walked for a while. In order to prevent him from cheating, Wang Qi did not dare to go out immediately. He waited for a few minutes to make sure that he was really far away. Then he carefully poked his head out of the cave, carefully observed, and walked out of the cave to the west. Because he was afraid of leaving obvious traces, he did not walk fast. After walking a miles or two, he felt that the possibility of being found was very small, so he accelerated his pace. At this time, he faintly heard the sound of gunfire in the distance. The direction was not far from where he camped, but now his life was critical, and he had no intention to explore what was going on there.
Wang Qi went all the way west. In the middle of the night, he found a big river and walked downstream along the river bank. The East was slightly white, but because of the mountain, the ground was still a little dark. He suddenly tripped over the stone and staggered forward. At the same time, there was a gunshot behind him. The bullet shot on the pebbles by the river and bounced a few stones. Without hesitation, Wang Qi immediately jumped and plunged into the rapid river. Flow.
"This boy's reaction is really good." When Red rushed to the river, Wang Qi had already disappeared. He couldn't help admiring that Red came here not because he found Wang Qi's clues, but purely by accident. Unexpectedly, Wang Qi's luck didn't know whether it was good or bad, and he tripped at a critical moment.
At this time, it was May, and the temperature in the mountains was not high. In addition, it was early in the morning, and the water temperature was very low. Wang Qi jumped into the water, and the cold cold water immediately made him freeze. Then there was a muffled sound, and he felt dizzy. It turned out that the water level by the river was not deep. He hit a stone at the bottom of the river. Fortunately, the momentum was not fast before the impact, so he did not fall into a coma. The river flows very fast. There is no grass or other hidden place in the river. It is too risky to stay in place. There is too much resistance to swim upstream, so you can only dive downstream along the water. Wang Qi was born in a river-tight water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Almost everyone can swim. Naturally, his water quality is not bad. He swam out for miles, carefully observed in the water, found a suitable place to go to the other side, and ttle the clothes in a hidden place by the river to see that there would be no traces of water, and then he entered the forest again.
At noon, Wang Qi came to a cliff, and many unnamed birds flew in and out on the cliff. Wang Qi was in danger one after another and walked a long section of the mountain road. His stomach was already hungry, so he came up with the idea of bird eggs. He took a detour to climb the cliff and searched in the cracks on the cliff. He shocked countless birds and finally found a few bird nests. If there was no fire, he had to eat them raw. Fortunately, the fishy smell was not heavy. Wang Qi ate some and found a few bird nests and put a lot in his pocket. Today, the birds here were in great trouble. Seeing that the egg thief was eating inside and preparing to pack, he finally couldn't help attacking him. Wang Qi had to flee in a hurry under the attack of the angry birds. The birds followed him for a whole way, and then slowly dispersed. Wang Qi's body was stained with a lot of bird droppings, his clothes were punctured, his hair was messy and tangled, and there were slight blood stains on his forehead, which was really embarrassing.
Looking at the distant birds, Wang Qi sighed. Since he entered the forest, he had not encountered a good thing. First, he was separated from his friends, then he got lost, and then he was inexplicably chased with a gun. Now even a group of birds can beat him to pieces, which is really unlucky. Wang Qi opened the clothes bag. The bag was very large and full of bird eggs. The number was quite large, and he also felt that it was a little too much. However, from the experience of the past few days, it was not easy to find food in this forest. Since he had found something to eat, there was no simple reason to let it go. He checked carefully and found that except for a few that were crushed, most of them were intact. At least the food could be ready in a few days, and his heart was much more stable.
After taking a shower by a mountain stream and washing the clothes, Wang Qi continued to move forward. Until the afternoon of the third day, Wang Qi finally believed that he was safe. The route he took these days was close to the river. It was only half a miles to the river, and he could reach it quickly. In this season, the river flow is not large, and a river bed is exposed on the river, which is much better than the river bank. Wang Qi jumped off the river bed and walked to the southwest of the lower reaches. Not long after walking, he came to the end of this section of the river. There, another tributary flows down from the northwest and merges with the big river flowing from the northeast. At the intersection of the two rivers, a huge vortex was formed. As soon as the leaves and dead branches floating from the upstream entered the scope of the vortex, they were driven by the rapids and quickly swept into the center and disappeared without a trace. The two streams of rivers have subsided here, changing the direction and flowing southward.
Wang Qi stopped by the river bank for a long time before going down the river bank, drank some water by the river, and was ready to move forward. When he looked up, he was suddenly stunned. The diagonal opposite turned out to be Red. Red was also extremely surprised. He had no clue to find Wang Qi for a long time. He had no hope of finding Wang Qi and was ready to kill him after Wang Qi left the forest. Unexpectedly, when he came to drink water, he accidentally met his unstricable target. He immediately pulled out his gun, because the sound of the water in the whirlpool was too loud. When Wang Qi noticed him, he was already a step late. Behind him was a high slope, which was extremely inconvenient to go up and down. Not far ahead was a whirlpool. In addition, the other party's gun had been aimed at him, and there was no chance to jump into the river. Wang Qi's brain turned rapidly and struggled to get out of it.
"Look where you are going this time..." Red smiled proudly and was not busy, because Wang Qi was in a desperate situation and had no way to escape.
"Tep me the reason for killing me." Wang Qidao.
"It's amazing that you can still be so calm now." Seeing that Wang Qi's face has returned to normal, Red praised and said, "Since you are going to die, it doesn't matter to tell you. It's all because you chose the wrong camping place. I'm afraid you don't know that it's near the valley, which is Klein's secret research institute. Presumably you also heard the sound of gunfire later. That's our people attacking the base. You should know who Klein is, right?
"The president of the Klein consortium, the richest man in Europe?" Wang Qi replied casually that he secretly observed Red's every move, but although Red was explaining, he did not relax his vigilance for a moment. He couldn't find a chance at all.
"Yes, but his identity is not so simple. He is also the behind-the-scenes boss of two well-known mercenary companies and the largest underground arms dealer in Europe," Red knew Wang Qi's intention, sneered in his heart, and then said, "This is just the part he found out before his arrest. His underground power is far more than that. Some, one of his secret research institutes is hidden in this forest, as long as we get the research results in it, hey hey..."
"Aren't you afraid that they will destroy the information if you attack?" Wang Qidao.
"It's useless to destroy it. The people in it have made a backup. Our purpose is to get the backup file."
"What does that have to do with me? I'm just an ordinary traveler. Don't say I don't know. I'm afraid I won't mind my own business even if I find your identity."
"That's because you don't know the value of that information. If it is leaked, the family will immediately become the target of the major underground forces, and Klein's unexposed forces will not let us go. So, the action must be absolutely perfect. Now do you understand?" Red laughed.
"It seems that even if I escape from the forest, I will definitely die, right?"
"That's right, so you're dead today. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Red raised his pistol. At this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the whirlpool in the river. An idea surged up in his heart. He smiled, put down the gun and said, "This seems a little unfair to you. Why don't we do it another way?"
Wang Qi was silent and said, "What's the way?"
Red laughed and said, "I'll give you five seconds. In these five seconds, I will never shoot. If you can escape, even if it's your ability, I won't kill you again. How, isn't it an opportunity for you?"
Wang Qi was furious. What could he do in five seconds? It was too late to climb up the river bank behind him. Even if he jumped into the river to escape, he could not escape his range within five seconds. The river was too clean, and it was completely clear at a glance. It was not as easy to hide the light of the river that morning. The other party just wanted to tease him. Wang Qi pressed his anger and knew that although it was his teasing, as he said, it was finally an opportunity. He calmed down and his face had returned to normal and said, "Really, let's start the timing."
"Hahaha, that's good." Red laughed and said, "Listen carefully, I'm starting to count... one"
