Chapter 958: There Are Wind Chimes in the South and Hengmu in the North (Two Hundred and Twenty-One)

xi base.

Feng Ling went back to the base overnight that night. He didn't say hello to anyone, and he didn't ask anyone to say a word. He just packed his things, various uniforms and body armor, and left with his suitcase. No one was alarmed.

Li Nanheng's car was outside, and Feng Ling saw that he hadn't gone back to rest after returning to the base, so he stood outside the car and glanced at him, and said, "Boss, I'll go to the airport by myself, you don't have to see me off."

Li Nanheng casually put his arm on the outside of the car window, only glanced at her, looked away, and said indifferently: "Well, be careful, and have a good journey."

Ever since she decided to go to Cambodia, Li Nanheng didn't say a single word to hold her back.

Obviously, he was already familiar with her temper, and she would never go back on what he said.

Feng Ling let out a "hmm" and didn't say any more. He turned around and went to the parking lot inside the base on the other side, and drove an off-road vehicle to leave the base directly.

In the sky above the xi base, the moon was bright and the stars were thin. A car stopped in place, and a car drove out quickly.

...

Four days later.

Cambodia, Siem Reap.

This is the third day since Feng Ling arrived in Cambodia alone. Even though there were topographic maps and regional structural maps near Snake Valley handed over by the U.S. military before coming here, these maps are from many years ago, and many places are not marked. I don’t know, she spent three days familiarizing herself with the surrounding area, and hurriedly learned some simple Cambodian Khmer from her mobile phone while on the plane, half translating and half English with her mobile phone and learning by herself The ones here have learned about the situation here with the residents of the nearby villages.

Although there is a minefield with many years of history nearby, no one has dared to walk through it, so the minefield has not exploded, and the mines buried below are dense and very dangerous.

But what is even more dangerous is the Snake Valley below, where all kinds of snakes live in it all year round, which is very scary.

In order to avoid snakes, the nearby villages have habitually slapped all kinds of realgar powder and snake-proof powder on their bodies since birth, otherwise they may be bitten by poisonous snakes crawling from nowhere when they are farming nearby.

If things go on like this for a long time, those snakes don't run to the village, but only wander around the Snake Valley, and no one wants to go there. It is said that it is on the high mountain in front, and the Snake Valley is under the cliff.

After inquiring, Feng Ling took a look at the map given to her by the military.

The location that the military wants to use is the high mountain in front, which is suitable for hiding and also suitable for a temporary small military reserve base.

Sure enough, she was assigned a mission that might never return.

Listening to the descriptions of these residents, it seems that as long as she goes up that mountain, she will definitely not be able to survive.

After leaving the village, Feng Ling prepared everything and went up the mountain.

The members of the xi base have all received demining training, so every step they take, they will carry a special demining equipment to detect in front of them, and take every step carefully.

It took a day and a night to clear only an area of ​​the mountain near the jungle on the top of the mountain. After confirming that there was no thunder within a hundred meters, Feng Ling went down the mountain and raised his tent up, and camped directly on the mountainside. Her luggage There was also a lot of snake repellent powder given to her by the villagers in the box. She sprinkled some around the outside of the tent, and lay down directly in the tent to sleep.

The temperature in Cambodia is so hot all year round. She only wears a thin T-shirt under the summer uniform, so it is still very hot lying in the tent, but occasionally she can hear various noises coming from the direction of the jungle. Very subtle movements.

In other words, others may not know what the sound is.

But she could hear it.

That is, there are some small beasts walking in the jungle in the dark, and they come out to look for food.

There were also some snakes crawling around, very, very softly.

Closing her eyes, Feng Ling felt as if she had returned to before she was five years old. That little girl who was terrified and ignorant squatted in the cave every day. Because she didn't like to eat the meat brought back by the she-wolf, she finally ran out because she was so hungry. , climbed one tree after another, and went to pick the fruit to eat by himself.

After another whole night, the demining mission continued.

She was clearing mines on such a big mountain by herself, and she was already prepared to live here alone for at least four or five months or even longer.

She was wearing a pair of black military leather boots, and every time she took a step forward, she could feel a snake near the grass as if it was disturbed and quickly crawled away.

Feng Ling lowered his head to clear the mines without changing his eyes, ignoring all kinds of "small animals" around him.

...

Life on the mountain is day after day, and there is no one here. Feng Ling doesn't want to keep in touch with anyone in the base at this stage, so he doesn't even charge his phone, just put it in his pocket.

However, there is a fully charged power bank in the suitcase. If she has to use her mobile phone one day, she can also use the power bank by plugging it in.

It's just for the time being. At this stage, she is in the stage of receiving punishment. She just wants to do things here quietly.

She is not particularly greedy for those modern communication and entertainment devices such as TVs and mobile phones, because she lived in the jungle when she was a child, so she will not feel bored.

Occasionally go down the mountain to buy a few bottles of water, occasionally go to the spare things in the car, and occasionally buy some food.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the snakes near the Snake Valley are poisonous, it is very likely that she can cook the snake meat on the fire here.

...

Fifteenth day in Cambodia.

Because the people in the lobby of the base had said before she came that she would keep in touch with the base, at least once every half a month, and report the demining situation to the base.

So after eating something at night, Feng Ling got into the tent, lay down in it, plugged the phone into the power bank, and checked the network nearby. The area is so full, but at any rate, sending some messages and the like can be accepted and conveyed slowly.

Within a few minutes of Feng Ling's mobile phone being turned on, many records and messages of missed calls popped up on the phone, and it took a long time to calm down. She read one by one, and there were many people who called and sent messages to her. Almost all the people who were close to her in the base had called her. Because they couldn't contact her, they sent her a message to ask her why she ran to Cambodia. They were all kinds of concerns and worries.

Feng Ling didn't expect that he could gain so many sincere friends in the xi base, the corner of his mouth ticked slightly, and he didn't reply because there were too many.

When I turned to the top, I saw a message from Li Nanheng just two days ago: "Turn on."
