Chapter 4 The End of the Road
After leaving the small county town, Xu Mo always had an unknown premonition in his heart. Sometimes he felt that something was neglected, and sometimes he felt that someone was following the car. As time passed, his uneasiness became more and more serious. Finally, five hours later, Xu Mo stopped the car about one kilometer away from the toll station in front of him and walked towards the toll station along the ditch under the slope of the national highway.
As soon as he bypassed the toll station, Xu Mo's expression changed suddenly because he found that at the turn of the road behind the toll station, a team of armed police with live ammunition were setting up checkpoints to check every vehicle heading north. From time to time, he also compared a photo in his hand. The carefulness of the inspection was probably even an ant hidden in his crotch would be pulled out.
"Exposed!" Xu Mo's thought flashed like lightning in his mind, then he lowered his body and retreated to the rear against the ditches. "It's only 20 kilometers away from the Daxinganling Forest Area, and it's time to implement the second plan!"
Xu Mo turned around the front of the car and drove towards a field path not far behind. After entering the path a few kilometers, he parked the car next to an unmanned roadside shack. Then, from the big backpack for hikers who were always in the back seat of the car, he found a pair of big scissors and a razor for haircuts. After cutting his hair with the big scissors, he wet his short hair with bottled mineral water, and then shaved his big bald head with a razor, shaved off his mustache with his belt, took off his leather jacket and jeans he wore today, changed into a sports suit, put on a baseball cap and large sunglasses, and changed his face again.
After sorting out everything on his body, he packed the clothes he had changed and the pieces in the car, threw them into a manure pool next to the farmland, then carried a big backpack, dressed up as a hiker who was traveling to the Daxinganling Nature Reserve, and quickly left.
The local armed police forces in the county town inspected hundreds of vehicles on the national highway between noon and evening, but never found Xu Mo's traces. In this case, Xie Guo, who had already arrived at the place by military transport plane, suggested that armed police personnel pull the net along the country road towards the Daxinganling Mountains to check. Finally, more than an hour later, they got good news and Xu Mo's van was found. Xie Guo was overjoyed and hurriedly accompanied other armed police officers, taking the police dogs that had smelled the smell in the van to chase Xu Mo's escape. At this time, Xu Mo had only been away for about two hours.
Xu Mo knew that there was not much time left for him, and he had to strive to enter the Daxinganling forest area before being caught up by the armed police. The only thing that was beneficial to him now was that the sun in the sky had set and the sky gradually became darker, and the dense forests ahead and the gradually raised altitude also meant that his destination was not far away.
Xie Guo was anxious. After following the police dog for two hours, it was completely dark, and the increasingly dense woods around him also meant that they were entering the forest area. Finally, the police dog stopped in front of a stream about 20 meters wide, and they lost Xu Mo's smell.
Xie Guo was very regretful, just a little bit away. Although he had given Xu Mo a high evaluation in the city of Yuhe City, he finally underestimated Xu Mo's vigilance. If they had not wasted so much time at the checkpoint and had earlier dragged the net against the national highway, they should be able to block his escape route before Xu Mo abandoned the car. In addition to disappointment, Xie Guo still loyally called the superior department and the old man who was far away from Yuhe City to inform the situation.
Even if they still have Xu Mo's traces, they can no longer penetrate the forest area. If they go deeper, they will enter the depths of the Greater Xing'an Mountains, which are primeval forests, and there are too many unpredictable dangers. Xie Guo must be responsible for the lives and safety of the armed police. He is powerless and only hopes that the old man's former army can catch the cunning fox.
"Closing the team!" Xie Guo, who had given the order, raised his head, crossed the stream, and stared at the depths of the dark forest ahead. He always felt that his target was not far away in front, observing them, silently mocking their dilemma.
At this time, Xu Mo was indeed not far from Xie Guo and the others, but there was no light in the mountains and forests, and the dense forest covered the moonlight and starlight in the sky. I was afraid that he would soon lose his fingers. Seeing that he could no longer rush, Xu Mo had to find a leeward on the hillside, set up a tent, lay a clean nylon cloth, press it with stones, and spray insect repellent around it. He ate a little biscuits and mineral water, opened the sleeping bag in the tent, and fell asleep deeply with the fatigue of the day.
On the afternoon of the next day, five soldiers wearing yellow camouflage uniforms, covered with black oil paint on their faces, and carrying a 03 automatic rifle, came to the place where Xu Mo slept yesterday. They were a jungle special war team drawn by the old man far away in the city of Yuhe through the Northern Military Region of China.
One of them, a burly warrior, squatted down and carefully searched where Xu Mo put down the tent, while the other four people quickly scattered around and observed the movements around.
After a while, the burly warrior stood up, summoned all four companions to his side, and whispered: "I will repeat our mission this time before entering the primeval forest ahead."
"This mission was highly valued by the leaders of the Special Forces Division. It is not easy for our team to get this task. It must be completed with a beautiful point. The target is a very dangerous criminal. According to the captain of the criminal police detachment responsible for the case, this person has a close mind, a violent personality, good at disguising, and is extremely vigilant. Because his family is destroyed, he has no scruples at killing people now, which poses a great threat to social stability and harmony. He must not let this person escape. If necessary, he can choose to kill him. Leopard, let me introduce the physical characteristics of the target."
"Yes, the captain, the target is about 176cm tall and weighs 70 kilograms. He originally had a long hair and a ponytail, a thin face, and a mustache. However, according to the captain in charge, he may have changed his appearance after he discovered the pursuit of the armed police!" The burly captain called the leopard soldier, with a calm face, holding a domestic 97 sniper rifle, and was a sniper in the squad.
"Captain, isn't it just an ordinary person? Will the leader sending out special forces elites like us make a big deal!" A soldier who was obviously younger than the other four and had acne on his face said as he looked at the photo.
"Yang Wazi, that's it. When you meet him, don't pee your pants. There are six people in total, including him. But you have never seen blood. Qin Han, do you think so?" The warrior nicknamed Yang Wazi was joked by another slightly shorter warrior next to him.
"Okay, Xiaodao stop teasing Yangwazi. You are the scout of our team. When you enter the forest later, you are exploring the way forward! Qin Han and Yangwazi are on both sides of the leopard hall." Before another soldier named Qin Han responded, the captain interrupted Xiaodao's joke. Although the captain repeatedly emphasized the danger of the target to everyone in the team, in fact, he himself did not think that Xu Mo could cause harm to any of the people in this team.
For ordinary people, Xu Mo is indeed an extremely dangerous person, but for those of the jungle war special forces who have experienced unimaginable and rigorous training, Xu Mo is as fragile as there is no difference from a newborn baby. Especially in this squad, there are four people who have experienced many missions and waves. Even if they are novice sheep, they can deal with ordinary soldiers in the army, not to mention ordinary people like Xu Mo.
The only suspense is whether he can catch up with him before the mission target passes through the Daxinganling and flees abroad. However, the horizontal width of the Daxinganling is 200-300 kilometers. In addition, there are no ready-made roads and terrain obstacles, it will take Xu Mo to travel through the Daxinganling for at least 10 days.
According to information, the mission target is at most 10 hours ahead of them, but the goal's footwork and physical strength are really different from those of them, such as the special elites. The captain is confident that he can catch up with the mission target in at most three days. With the return trip for three days, the entire mission can be completed within a week. After returning to the army, he can add another strong mark to his resume. Moreover, this mission is highly valued by the commander of the army. If he can be completed successfully, it will have a great effect on himself being promoted to an officer. If he is promoted to an officer, he will go home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival. Maybe Xiaolian will no longer hesitate about their marriage. Thinking of this, Captain Wang Laowu, who is in his 30s, is full of gratitude for entrusting this task to their political commissar of the division headquarters.
Then, the captain waved his hand and the five men in the team reopened the formation and walked towards the primeval forest ahead. Although they did not have police dogs, the knife, as a jungle scout, could find clues from the subtle footprints of the clearings in the forest and the traces of the dense shrubs, and it was absolutely impossible to lose the target.
The five people gradually disappeared into the dense forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains, and only birds and insects were heard in the quiet forest. At this time, whether it was the five of them, Xu Mo, who was moving in a mess in the forest, but he firmly moved towards the China-Russia border step by step, and Xie Guohe, who had returned to Yuhe City, were full of confidence, but he did not expect that the situation they would usher in a few days.
