Chapter 10: Unwelcome Guests

See Xia Xiaorong may not wake up immediately, Nie Mo decided to check out the bodies, he walked directly to the Xia captain's body, carefully looked up, he is not a forensic scientist do not know how the other party died, but the body of the body of the injuries to see is obviously a gunshot wound. Nie Mo picked up the gun that fell next to his body and looked at it, and the bullets in the gun were still full, so the gunshots they heard might have been fired by the person who killed them, so he checked the guns of the rest of the people, and none of them had been fired. This makes Nie Mou puzzled, even if they encountered bandits how they several people were killed without a single shot, it is unlikely ah, then he found a lot of shell casings on the ground, he does not know much about the gun also do not know what kind of gun shot, now it seems that they should be defenseless under the killed, what kind of person did it. A coughing sound interrupted Nie Mao's thinking, it was Xia Xiaorong who woke up, Nie Mao ran over and asked, "How is it, you just fainted at once." Xia Xiaorong's face was pale and colorless, she got up and sat down, not saying anything, now she was simply a different person from when Nie Mao first saw her. Nie Mao turned around and looked at the corpses, thinking that he had to dispose of them, if he just left them here sooner or later, there would be no corpses left. One of them was Xia Xiaorong's relative, he thought he'd better ask, and was about to speak when Xia Xiaorong opened her mouth first "I'm fine, let's deal with the corpses of the fourth uncle and the others first." She wiped away the tears on her face and walked over to Captain Xia's corpse, her body trembling slightly. She cried again, only her voice wasn't as loud as it was in front of her, hey, why does this woman have so many tears, crying like she can't even play, Nie Mao was a bit at a loss for words. "Okay, Officer Xia don't cry, what's important now is to finish dealing with the body first." Xia Xiaorong, however, turned a deaf ear and only sobbed in a small voice, only after a long time did she hear her say, "I know, I just want to see him more." Nie Mo felt it was better to let her cry, crying enough will make her feel better, if digging a pit to bury one by one is too time consuming, now they can't stay here for a long time, the key is that they don't have any tools, after thinking for a while, he decided to find out if there are any caves in the neighborhood, and put them away for a while, but just at this time, he felt that the ground was shaking a little bit slightly. Is it a beast of prey, this corpse has not yet decomposed they smelled the odor? He climbed down and put his ear on the ground, his heart was secretly alarmed, it was human footsteps and quite a lot of them, he shouted to Xia Xiaorong, "Quick, hide the corpse first, it seems like someone is coming." The people coming seemed to be some distance away from them, he didn't even know how he felt it. Xia Xiaorong looked at him with some surprise, but didn't move. "Don't flounder, quickly hide the body in the nearby bushes first." Nie Mu said as he picked up the bodies on the ground with one hand and walked towards the bushes, Xia Xiaorong pulled up her fourth uncle's body to follow Nie Mu's steps, and within a few minutes, he hid those bodies. "Let's hide too, let's check the situation first." Nie Mou just finished speaking, he heard footsteps getting closer and closer to them, pulled up Xia Xiaorong and ran into a short bush, climbed down. After waiting for a while they didn't see anyone. "How come I can't hear anything." Xia Xiaorong was a bit puzzled, Nie Mao was about to speak when the trees in front of them shook, and Xia Xiaorong looked at him again with some surprise, not daring to make a sound. What appeared in their line of sight was actually seven or eight heavily armed people, they looked like soldiers, they just couldn't tell which country they were from, and a few of them were foreigners, they spoke and started scanning around. Nie Mu did not know if they had found him and Xia Xiaorong, because he could not hear a foreign language. He just watched as a man pointed towards the ground and said a few words to one of the leaders, it looked as if they wanted to search the surroundings, two of them came in their direction, his heart tightened and he glanced at Xia Xiaorong beside him, signaling her to get ready. Xia Xiaorong nodded her head and was about to aim her gun ahead when those people went back for some reason, not knowing what the leader said to them, all of them went into the woods again. Relieved, she asked, "How did you know someone was coming, judging by the time they got here, they should have been pretty far away from us at the time." "I don't know." Nie Mao looked around, in fact he was a bit confused, he just felt that his body didn't look like his own sometimes anymore, thinking about those people just now, could it be that they killed these policemen, but on second thought he felt that it wasn't. After a while he said, "They should really be gone, now let's find a place within a cave to put their bodies away for now, we can only hope that no wild beasts find them before we bring them down the mountain." He hesitated for a moment, looked at Xia Xiaorong, now in this situation she could have gone down the mountain first, but she was alone and he was not assured, if he sent her down the mountain and came back, then the time to look for Mo Zi Ning would have to be delayed again, it has been more than a day's time, just now saw those armed men again, Mo Zi Ning and their situation is more dangerous than he previously thought. Xia Xiaorong stood up, patted his body, his face was serious, said, "I know what you think, I don't want to go down the mountain either, I must find out who killed them." "You have been a soldier, which country's soldiers do you think those people were just now." "Any country, I think they should be international mercenaries, just now two of them were speaking Russian and I didn't understand them, if they were in English I could barely understand them." Nie Mo thought for a while before saying, "How did the mercenaries appear here, what are they doing here what's their purpose, how many armed police came up the mountain before." "A platoon." Saying that, she looked at Nie Mao and said, "Don't worry, I believe they should be fine. Do you think it could be these mercenaries who killed them" "It shouldn't be." Nie Mo shook his head, "If it was them, they wouldn't have left so easily when they realized the bodies were suddenly gone." "En, but how come these mercenaries came to this mountain, and ……" Xia Xiaorong all of a sudden remembered what happened last night, the heart are still a little afraid, began to worry, and remembered that the loved ones who have died, very sad. Nie Mo patted her shoulder, and without saying anything walked straight to the bushes where they hid the bodies. It took them more than an hour to dispose of the bodies of the policemen, mainly because it took more time to find the hole. When they walked into the woods the next time, it was already noon, and the sky was dark, looking like it was going to rain heavily. In the morning also ate two fruits, are very hungry, Nie end a see Xia Xiaorong because of the loss of loved ones some haggard face, some for her worry, this next also do not know what will encounter. In his opinion, those first mountain armed police estimate is also fierce, just he did not say, give her some hope. On the road they picked some wild fruits to eat, Nie Mo really want to encounter some small animals or something now, eat some meat, especially Xia Xiaorong she very much needs to supplement some nutrition. The further they went, the thicker the trees became fewer and fewer, the road became more and more rugged, in some places they had to climb up, there were dense forests everywhere, and they couldn't pass through them without using their swords to cut them off, after about two hours or so, they were still going up, the good thing was that these slopes weren't too steep, it was just that they were all covered by dense undergrowth, and Nie Mo was in front of them, and it was harder to cut out the road with that military sword. "Is it okay?" he turned his head to look at Xia Xiaorong who was behind him. "En, it's fine, keep walking" Hearing her voice, Nie Mo knew that Xia Xiaorong was already struggling to walk at this time, but this girl was still very strong. After walking for a while, Nie Mo raised his head and suddenly saw repeated black smoke in their northeast direction, the distance is very far from where they are now looking there, can only see a black pressurized piece of forest, to Nie Mo's experience, the forest there, than before they have walked through the place to be much taller, the black smoke is where the black smoke appeared. "See?" Nie Mo stopped and pointed in the direction of the black smoke. Xia Xiaorong wiped the sweat from her cheeks and exhaled, she was indeed a bit tired, "En, there should be someone there, could it be those mercenaries." "Most likely," after a pause, Nie Mao added, "As long as we finish this stretch of road, there should be a forest up there, and the road is relatively flat, so let's go check out the situation then." "This is dangerous, the ones we saw before all had seven or eight people, if it's them, I reckon that should be their base camp, there will be a lot of people and they're all well armed." Nie Mo's face showed a resolute expression "Foreign mercenaries running here, even if I don't look for Mo Zi Ning and the others, I still need to figure out what they're doing here." Xia Xiaorong looked at Nie Mao's fearless expression, and listening to his tone of voice made her think of the time when she was a soldier, and added a few more points to Nie Mao's favor, along the way his ability to surprise her time and time again, and let this man more and more puzzled. "Is my face dirty." Nie Mo was a little surprised to see the other party staring at him with one eye. Xia Xiaorong blushed, a little embarrassed, did not know what to say, thought to herself, this man is really a stick in the mud, just laughed and said, "En, it's just that there's no mirror right now, otherwise you can take a good look at your face." "Really, actually yours isn't clean either, but it looks pretty good like this." Nie Mo said seriously and truthfully, but is that Xia Xiaorong felt wrong when she heard it, and was furious without saying a word, crossing over Nie Mo and walking towards the front. Looking at Xia Xiaorong's unhappy appearance, Nie Mo also really a little puzzled, think he said is the truth, this mountain walk how long, but also live a night, who face will not be dirty, she was originally beautiful although the face is dirty but still good-looking. Just thinking, only to hear Xia Xiaorong's voice came "stand there why, quickly use the knife to split these, can not go." Nie Mo amusedly walked up and opened the way for her. The sky darkened for a long time, is not a drop of rain down, also more and more sultry, it seems that the night this rain is not generally big, their water early finished, he does not recommend drinking some rain, but if the rain is too big, on their walking can bring great inconvenience. When they reached the woods above, Nie Mao wanted to continue walking, but looking at Xia Xiaorong's tired appearance, he decided to take a rest first, so he found a place where the trees were not dense, worrying about what to do if thunder and lightning struck later, as far as the eye can see here, except for the trees are still trees, if there is a small cave it would be good, otherwise it would be very dangerous to stay in these woods. "You first rest here, I'll go look for a cave." "I'll go with you, I don't want to stay here alone" she said as she stood up from where she had just sat down and looked at the woods, the trees were all very thick and invisible at a glance, they looked like a huge guard overlooking them. Nie Mo saw her expression, knew that she was a little scared, and thought to myself that I don't know how far I have to go, if I can't find the cave, it's not safe to stay here, Yu said, "Okay, go together, it's getting late, there might be a rainstorm at night, we have to find the cave as soon as possible." Xia Xiaorong looked around here and said, "So what if we can't find it, this place doesn't look like it has a cave." "Yeah! We can only look at our luck."
