Chapter 188 Monkeys in the Mountains

Even though Wu Qihang and Liao Kai only mentioned it briefly, Gao Fei could easily guess that the second half of the battle was a complete disaster.

Zhang Sheng, Penny, Lin Qi and Liu Xingyu were seriously injured one after another and were urgently recovered by the star disk system.

Under their desperate cover, Wu Qihang and Liao Kai were able to escape from the battlefield, but they were still chased by Lord Lei and four ferocious wild boars.

Judging from the momentum at the time, they would be caught up by the ferocious mutant wild boars before they escaped to the parking lot. It was a blessing from God that they were urgently recovered!

At the critical moment, fortunately, the company commander teleported over to reinforce and rescued Wu Qihang and Liao Kai, the last two survivors of Team 01, from the wild boar's mouth in time.

After listening to their thrilling experience, Gao Fei and others all fell silent, and their hearts could not calm down for a long time.

"Looking back on it later, we regret it very much."

Liao Kai clenched his fists and said with tears in his eyes.

"In fact, on the night when we made the plan to hunt the Thunder King, the captain once proposed an idea, which was to invite Brother Honglong to temporarily join our team to assist us in hunting the Thunder King and ensure that this trip was foolproof."

"Brother Liu's proposal was only supported by Sister Lin... However, the other members of our team, including myself, felt that it was embarrassing to ask for external help, so we voted against it."

"Alas! It's all our fault for being too arrogant! If we had listened to Brother Liu and Sister Lin's advice at the time, we wouldn't have ended up like this..." Wu Qihang slapped his head in annoyance.

"It's useless to regret now, and you don't have to blame yourself." Gao Fei reluctantly comforted them a few words, and then asked: "After the company commander arrived, did he kill the thunder boar?"

Wu Qihang shook his head gently: "The company commander fired a cannon to injure the Thunder King, which scared it to turn around and run away. In order to take care of me and Liao Kai, the company commander didn't care about chasing the monster."

At this time, Liao Kai looked at Gao Fei, hesitating.

"Xiao Liao, just say whatever you want to say."

"Brother Fei, if there is any team in our 13th company that has the hope of hunting down the Thunder King, it's your 05 team!"

"Of course I have no right to make demands, but if...if you really plan to hunt down the Thunder King, Qihang and I will wish you a triumphant return, which can be regarded as helping Brother Liu and his men to avenge their hatred."

Gao Fei nodded, but did not give a clear promise.

Whether to hunt down the Thunder King is not something he can decide alone.

After Wu Qihang and Liao Kai left, Li Jiajia timidly asked his teammates: "Are we really going to deal with that Thunder Boar?"

"Of course we have to go!" Qi Tian rubbed his hands, "Just because the 01 team messed up this matter, we have to hunt down the Thunder King and chop off the wild boar's head to prove that our 05 team is the undisputed leader of the 13th company!"

"Don't rush to make a decision on this matter, or listen to the arrangements of the company commander." Ma Tao seemed very cautious.

Qi Tian was quite disappointed. He looked up at the backs of Wu Qihang and Liao Kai disappearing at the stairs and snorted contemptuously.

"When those two guys asked Brother Fei if he dared to hunt down Lord Lei, I thought they wanted to join our team and personally avenge their injured comrades! But in the end, they just said a few nice words and ran away. They are really two cowards!"

"Xiaotian, you are talking without feeling any pain in your waist!" Wang Daqing glared at him unhappily, "Only when you experience the feeling of death in person can you understand how terrifying it is. Why are you so mean and sarcastic to others!"

"Brother Daqing is right!" Ma Tao said seriously, "So far, no one in our team has been seriously injured in battle, let alone experienced the despair of watching teammates fall in front of them but unable to do anything, so we are really not qualified to mock Wu Qihang and Liao Kai."

Ma Tao supported the table with both hands and slowly stood up, his eyes looked particularly firm.

"Everyone, if you have no objection, I will go to the company commander and apply for it. We will go into the mountains to hunt down Lord Lei early tomorrow morning!"

Li Jiajia stared with horror and looked around, but no one raised any objections. She had to bite her lips and try to overcome the panic in her heart.

Ten minutes later, Ma Tao's application was replied.

"At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, we will set off on time to hunt Lord Lei in the mountains!"

Ma Tao smiled and added, noticing the nervousness in Li Jiajia's eyes.

"Considering the huge risks of this trip, the company commander will lead the team in person!"

"Wow! Really? That's great!" Li Jiajia patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "With the company commander leading the team, there is nothing to worry about!"

...

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Gao Fei and his group of six set off from the county town in a newly issued police van. Two hours later, they arrived at the gas station at the foot of the mountain, left the police car, and then hiked up the mountain.

The company commander had things to deal with, so he didn't accompany them into the mountains. When they arrived at the valley where Lord Lei was entrenched, he sent him a message using the star disk, and the message was immediately transmitted.

The first section of the mountain road had a gentle slope, and mountain streams, towering cliffs and bizarre stalagmites could be seen everywhere along the way, which was a typical karst landform.

Before the outbreak of the epidemic, millions of tourists were attracted by the beautiful and magnificent natural scenery of the area every year, and lingered in the mountains and forests created by the magic of nature.

Affected by the epidemic, the tourism industry has been very depressed in the past two years. The outbreak of the demon tide has hammered the last nail in the coffin. Now the roads leading to the mountain are blocked by the police. On the one hand, they prevent mutant beasts from coming down the mountain to attack people and livestock, and more importantly, they dissuade tourists from turning back and not taking risks with their lives.

Gao Fei and his party showed the special police certificates to the police, successfully passed the roadblock, and continued to advance toward the mountain along the left bank of the Peacock River.

Baoding Mountain, which is said to be one of the seven sacred mountains of Bon religion, means "Summer Sun and Winter Sun" in Tibetan. The main peak is 5,588 meters above sea level, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round.

In the midsummer season, the ice and snow on the top of the mountain partially melted, forming countless gurgling streams, flowing down along the ridge, and finally converging into the clear Peacock River. Occasionally, antelopes, wild deer and Tibetan foxes roam along the riverside. In rare cases, groups of monkeys and wild dogs are also encountered.

Normally, wild dogs would stay away from tourists, but naughty monkeys are happy to get close to tourists and shamelessly ask for food. If they are not given, they will even forcefully open tourists' backpacks, grab something and run away.

Gao Fei once saw tourists complaining about the various evil deeds of monkeys in the mountains online, harassing young girls, bullying children, and being a gang of gangsters, so he was not surprised.

In fact, excluding those wild animals, monkeys are probably the most annoying wild animals - a little smart but not smart enough, a little human but not completely human, shameless, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
